him now, to enable him to withstand the allurements, the show incident to an introduction to an European court, which undoubtedly must have been very well calculated to engage his attention, and make impressions on the mind lasting, as they may have been destructive of a just estimation of the plain republicanism exliibited at home. While on the subject of Mr. Adams' education, it may not be improper to observe, that the older John Adams, after his return from the court of Versailles, made a charge against the government for the tuition of his son in which was not allowed or had been referred, reported "that they do not find any vote or proceeding of congress, nor are they informed of any general or received custom on which the charge of money's for the education of the accountant s son, can be admitted; and though the same is inconsiderable, they are of opinion it ought to be rejected, lint n nrfrrnpni tip tint rctr hlichH "' III: Lr u. 7 I i.ms icuii tan ui; sccu uy rciui ring w

Uams has not only been educated in the school of Federalism, (as the committee have admitted,) but in the monarchical institutions of Europe; and whether now a republican from interest, or from more honorable motives, is at least problematical. The committee have taken a great deal of trouble to enumerate the many important stations Mr. Adams has filled under the various administrations of the government; from which they draw the inference that he must have enjoyed the confidence and esteem of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe. This conclusion may possibly be correct in regard to a subordinate station; but that stv.y of those worthies did, or do now, entertain opinions favorable to his elevation to the chief magistracy of the Union, is a matter of much doubt. Indeed, we have Mr. Jefferson's opinion on this subject, which is not at all favorable to such a supposition. In comparison with Mr. Crawford, he held both Mr. Adams ard Gen. Ja-kson as much inferior; but when the c hoice was to be made between the latter two, his preference was decidedly for Jackson. "lie spoke of JVlr. Adams as the federal candidate. whose election would be the means ofi restoring the dynasty of '98 as a man whose earliest and strongest predilections had been imbibed in the high school of ultra-federalism whose political principles, however artfully disguised, had undergone no change by his pretended apostacy. He regarded Mr. Adams as a learned, rather than a wise man as a politician more specious than sound possessing many oi tne erroneous tnebries, with little of the practical ability of a statesman."

and others even more unfavorable. When a Senator from Massachusetts in congress, he voted for a section in the bill organizing Louisiana into a territorial government, that no person should have the privilege of voting at elections unless he was the owner of a freehold estate. He opposed a provision for improving the navigation of the Ohio River. Subsequently, when a commis sioner at Ghent, he wrote a letter to Levit Harris, filled with the most gloomy Sz shameless forebodings as to the result of the war with Great Britain. In that let-: fer hp rriirospntfrl tVw frnvprrtment nf the.' vith but five frigates for a navy, and scarcly five eflective regiments for an army, and that "our country would be unnblc to withstand the gigantic power of Great Britain, which was preparing, modestv, the ioresight ot Mr. Adams,! when he applies the epithet ''penurious,' to a government from which he has re reived from 3 to 400,000 dollars, a sum greater than any man living or dead has ever received from her coders; a goverr mei't, whose citizens had fought and conquered in the first war for independence, when she had no organized armv or navy. 1 emphatically ask tor the ground on which Mr. Adams built the contemptible opinion here expressed his country. Was it on known facts or cowardly surmises? It must have been the latter? The glorious termination ofl the war, alike honorable to the country and our soldiers, proclaims aloud that there was no foundation for the former. The above are a fezv of the many facts that could be adduced, if time would permit, to put Mr. Adams' character and high claims to the presidency in their true light before the people. I shall close this number by contrasting the language of Gen. Jackson with

that of Mr. Adam?, expressed about the

same time, the celebrated letter to Mr. Harris was written. In addressing the army previous to the battle of New-Orleans, Jackson makes use of the following words: "Our country must and shall be defended. We shall enjoy our liberty or perish in the last ditch. The only country on earth whose citizens enjoy freedom, where its blessings are alike extended to the poor and rich, calls upon you to protect her from the grasping usurpation of Great Britain; she shall not call in vain. I know that every man pending danger, or nobly die in her de fence." Thus you see, fellow citizens, that, while Jackson and his fellow soldiers were standing by their country, pledged to defend her or "perish in the la t ditch" the "able diplomatist,' the "enlightened statesman," the profound scholar'; John Q.
