emancipation? Fur ought we know, those gentlemen, inhabitants of the south, arc the advocates of the perpetual and unmitigated slavery Could they hve been recoil) mended to the great free slates which I have named, gradual abolitionists in piinciple, itwUl have been done. They could not Wi Afr. Clay can; and all the candidate which are or have been, from the states where slavery is stili suflercd to exist, he. in this respect, should be considered the least exceptionable But, it has been said, Mr. Adams is from a free state; and therefore, an enemy to negro slavery. It is perfectly well known, that in all the free states there are many individuals. and among them not a few eminent men, who are advocates for slavery. I will not assert that Mr. Adams ia one of this class. ILfhiay not, or he may be of its number ills opinions on this subject may haybeeVi kept as discreetly from public insp1cHofras his opinions on most oiher great national topics He has been a foreign minister, till he carries the diplomatist into everything; and to the very people, from whom he asks the highest office on earth, has a reserve and wariness not less studied, than if negotiating with Talleyrand or t astleieah But, suppose that Mr Adams, born in a free state, is in principle an ene-ny to slavery; have I not shown that Mr. Civ, born in a slave sr.ate, is also, in principle a friend to emancipation? What then, in this respect woul you point out, as the difference between-5 "them; or in w hat docs the superiority )f Mr Adams consist?

My name has been brought before the nation by the people themselves, without any agency of mine; for I wish it not to be forgotten, that I never have solicited of fief; nor, when called upon, by the con stituded authorities, have ever declined where I conceived my services could be bencfical to my country But as my name has been brought betoie the ration for the first ffice in the gift of the peo t pie, it is i; cumbent on nu, when asked, frankly to decure my opinion upon any political national question, pending before, and about which the conutty feels an .

Will you looklo matters of no practical consequence, ami neglect those on which your prosprityVI may add, that of the nation, and especially of its middle portion, depend? WTIltJpu blindly abandon, in practice, what the principles you have adopted require for your happiness? Will you declare in favor of a system of home manufactures and internal improv ement, and pass by a western citizen eminently qualified to ex ecute it, for a distant member of the re public, who is supported by the people of the seaboard, because he is opposed to that very system? Would vou in busi ness, establish an agency, and 'ben choose of two men. the one who vou knew would r.ot execute it, merely because hpfmight happen to be mr.rc agreeable to yoiv n some unimportant point which did notn volvc that business?
