NATIONAL POLITICS AND HISTORY. The following letter was published in the Enquirer, it would appear, without the knowledge or request of the writer of it. FROM THK RICHMOND ENQUIRER. Washington Ciy, 3d Dec. 1822.

Ti the Freeholdei'of Washington, ' On the 26th of January, 1 804, we find Wythe, Gryson, JiusTelfj Tazewell, Lee Mr. Adams voting into a minoritv; aand Scott. gainst a clause whi ii forbade the impor-

Fellow Citizens: As the time approaches at which you arc to elect a membe rto represent you in the congress, of the Un ted States, it becomes expedient that you should know whelhei I will be a candidate or not. I theielore inform you, that if, in the new arrange ment ot districts Inch the general as miblv arc about to make, the counties ! sem f Washington and Wythe s -ail remain ot v asiumrton ana vine s ail remain in the same district, I will offer mv ser vices once mote-awe for the last time. J I Should I be elected, and serve durinr the next coTigress, I siiaii then have setved during th'c wh0ic administration of James ! Monroe : an administration under which I the pto e of the United States have ' hicherto enjoyed more happiness and safety than under any other ; and which I have found it agreeable to my judgment generally to support. I he election ot the next president is a subject which already attracts public attention, and which, indeed, ouht to be o;ihe minds of the people when electing the members of the next congress : for, (without adverting to the usage of making a nomination.) the duty of selecting a president, may ultimately devolve on the house of 'ep'cseutathes ; and this seems not unlikeiy to happen No man distinguished in the revolution, or having unrivalled churns to public confi dence, is brought forward ; but several men having considerable, and nearly eqnal, claims to pi'bdc favor, have been proposed to fib the ofT.ce of president. Should I be u member of thfsJiouse of preventatives, and be required in that capacity to select a president, regardless of minoi considerations, I shall give my vote dispassionateiy ; and under the direction of my judgment o.i'y, with a view to the preservation of the liberty, peace safety, and the people, of the United Stales. I can, however, no-v inform you, that I sli7.ll not vote nV John Q Adams to be president of the United Si nes. I pass over he circumstances of Ids relation to the man who violated the rights of the American people, the liberty of speech and of the press, by the approval of the Sedition Act ; although there is no evidence known to me that Mr Adams ever disapproved of one act r.f that administration. I pass over the fact of his having written against "the Rights of Man;" not only against the work thus entitled, but g.dnst rights themselves; and attompttd to ridicule Mr. Jefferson,, the chief of the friends of those rights fbbject to Mr. John Q Ada?r.s that Ac Zf.h& 9 tat t an ; -haf. (he pernicious fiasaicrta ivarfi hi, j udr tnent, a;:d do riot leave his mind i a firnfier state to decide on th in era's cf the v.a ion. and to a fit an eniirgcd and liberal sysi'tn of policy. I offer the following p; oofs : Mr. Adams took his seat in the senate of the United States on the 2 1st October, 1803. Mr. Jefferson had then filled the presidential ehuir more than two years and a ha:f ; his principles of government were well understood ; were approved of by a great ir.aj'uitj of the American people ; ami he had acquired Louisiana from the most powerful chief of the most pou e, ful nation, by (air purchase ; cn acquisiuon the most advantageous, and the most glori-.us because the most just, that ever was nude by any government. On the CiVh of October, a bill enabling the press;den to take possession of Louisiana passed the senate ; and on the question, cha!l t'd bill pass? Mr. Adams, m a man oity of m. voted against it On the loth of Januaiy, 18C4 t we find Mr. Adams proposing a resolution, and voting fo-it in amanoritv oftFornl declaring that congress had no n$rt to tax Louisiana 0- the Uth of January, we find him voting in a minority of i . . ... ..I 1 I . - - iii!ii.r3 ag.ns' eteim;ng the laws ol the i nrcd Ma'cs to Louisiana; and on the lS?h of Febrna-v, we find him voting in a manoMty o fiveI; against the passage of a bi't for erecting Louisiana into two territrries. A n I not justified in supposing that the p inciplcs o'" fartion, and not those that ouglit to s'jveru a patriotic statcs-

man, directed the political course of Mr. Adams? Yes; we are justified in supposing thatpa'ty zeal blinded ,Mr. Adams to the interest of his country ; tnat opposition to Mr. JctTerson, and the republicans, who had put an end to the despotism of the preceding administra-

tiou, led Mr. Adams to do every thing in his power to obstruct the acquisition of Louisiana. tation of slaves in Louisiana, from places without the United States. liv this vote Mr. Adams is placed in a dilemma He must either acknowledge himtclf a FRIEND TO THE SLAVE TRADE, Or lie must admit :hathc was desirous to render the atquisiton of Louisiana injurious by permitting the unrestrained influx of f"rei" slaves. Ever ll0$ile t0 Louisiana, we find Mr Adams, on the 19th Maich 1C04, voting : : i. 1" a "'anomy against laynu out ! ost roa(ls through the Indian country to New vllwa,i:Mr Adams has 8lven cr evidence oi nosinny to tne republicans un tne :?,st October, 1803, we find him voting ln a minority against wearing crape one month, in memory of Samuel Adams and Edmund Pendleton, two of the most distinguished friends of virtue and liberty. Mr Adams, as a senator, denied pro tection to commerce ; and this I can no otherwise account for but by presuming that he was unwilling that the republican administration should have the credit of affording protection to commerce. He voted, on the 26th of Match, 1804, for striking out the clause imposing the duty called the Mediterranean Fimd;t and, finally vott-d in a minority of fiyf,H against the passage of the act, entitled 14 An Act. !.;. the-to protect the the commerce and ye;.ioen of the United States against the. iSarhary powers." These several votes of .Mr. Adams fur nish obiccti'K.s to him as a statesman, which, in my opinion, are unanswerable; thercfore while I acknowledge that he is an auie vriicr, auci has ucservcd nis sue It ' . If 1 cess in argument against Mr Pickering, Don Onis. Don Anduaga, end Mr. Jonathan Uussll, he cannot have niy vote to be President of the United States Your fellow citizen ALEXANDER SMYTH. Louisiana will form ten states, and support 20 millions of the descendants of the American people. It is more advantageous than the conquest of Germany a by France would be to the French peo ple. t dr.ms, Hillhousc, Olcott, Pickering, PI timer, Tracy. t Adams, Olcott, Tracy, White Adams, Plumer, Wells. jj Adams, Hillhousc, Olcott, Plumer, and Stone. , Adams.
