the subject of the presidential election ; and 1 have no doubt that I did, in the course of the conversation, express the opinion : "The the reelection of Mr. Adams, under existing circumstances, was to be deprecated, and deeply deplored, as a national calamity. That such an event would, in my opinion, go very far to impair the confidence of the American people in our free institutions ; and that measures wculd, in all probability, ensue from his administration, and that

JeFTERSOx's OPINION OF MR. ADAMS. Immediately after Mr. Adams sent his first message to congress, in which he first openly a-

vowed the old exploded and dangerous doctt ine j of the co n struct ire powers of the national government, Mr. Jefferson wrote to governor Giles, censuring the course of the administration in the severest manner. lie merely re-aserted the same construction of the constitution which the republican .party established in 1810, and the same construction given to that venerated instrument bv general Jackson in his letter thisdav published. When Mr. Adams hoisted the old flag of his father, the anathema of the patriot Jefferson descended upon him. Let every citizen read attentively the following extract from the letter to which we have alluded. YVov Induct. Extract from Jlr. JeJ'erso;: letter to Afr. (Ziles. Dear Sir I see as vSu do, and with the deepest almction, the rapicVstridcs with which the federal branch of our government is advancing towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the states, and the consolidation in itself, of all the: powers foreign and domestic, and that too by constructions which, if legitimate, leave no limits to their power. Take together the decisions of the federal court, the doctriv.es of the president, and the misconstructions of the constitutional compact, acted on by the legislature of thefedeial branch ; and it is but toocvident that

Extract of a letter from Andrew Steve user?. Esq. dated Saratoga Springs, Jr.lv ol. Vour letter, of tire C -tth. reached me to d iv, at this place, and I hasten to answer, and th ink yen for it. I had seen, before 1 received your

letter, the first pubacat: -n ef the Whig, and 1 ;

am indebted to you tor the second, contauung the certificate of Mr. . I need not, mv dear sir, express to ou mv surprise and mortification at this whole proceeding ; the manner in which

friends, which, if followed out to their consequences, w ould justify these fears and apprehensions. That the election of gen. Jackson, would, on the contrary, produce the happiest results." Farther than this, I am very sure, I did not go. It is exceedingly probable, that Mr. did not hear the whole of these remarks ; and, of course, he stated the general proposition which he understood me to express stripped of all the circumstances which were intended to explain that proposition. The sentiments I then uttered, I now repeat. That I expressed any opinion at that time, or at any ether, which could in the remotest degree, justify the impression, that incase Mr. Adams should be re-elected, there was anv intention, or

understanding, or wish.cn the uat t of ecu. Jack- .
