APPEAL
To the Citizens or the United States.
Tim following appeal is made to you, be.
cuum) the chaijjcs wliiclt have rendeted it ne
cessary, were exhibited by your highest public
functionary, in a commimicition designed foi
the eyes of all; and because the citizens of eve
rv State in the Union have a deep interest in
the inputs ion of every other State.
It is well known, thui, during; iheentbnrtro,
ind the Succeeding restrictions on our coin-
merce, and also during the late war with Great
Britain, lhe Stale of M isinthusetts was some
times charged t wiih entertaining designs, dan-
dcrotis, if not hostile, to the Union of the States.
This calumny, having hpen engendered. nt it
period of extreme political excitement, and bo-
ing considered like the thousand others which
at such limes ore fabricated by party animosity,
and which live out ihpir day and expire, litis
hitherto attracted every little atlentinti in this
State. It stood outlie same footing with the
charge ngainst Hamilton, for peculation; against
the late President Atl.<ni«, as being in f;vor of
n monarchy and nnh'liiy, wid ng .ins; Washing-
tali himself, as he- ilc '.«» Fi ini ", tmil devoted
to British interests. 'C-ihiniiiies; vvlvch Were
seldom belived hy nnv respectable members of
thenarty which circulated them.
The puhl'catimt by the-P resident of’lie Uni
ted States, in the Nation <1 lotclligencerof O-.
toher last, has given an entirely new character
to these charges against the citizens of Mas-
snehusetts.—They can no longer lie consider
ed ns the anonymous slnndeis of politicinl pnrti-
zans ; bi|t ns a solemn and deliberate inpench-
ment hy the first magistrate of the United States,
and under the responsibility of his .name. It
appears also that this denunciation, tho* now
the first lime made known to’the public^ and
to the parties implicated, (whoever they may
bp,) was contained in private letters of Mr. Ad
ams, written twen*v venrs ago, to members of
the general government; »nd ihat he ventures
to state it ns f< under! on unequivocal evidence
within his own knowledge.
Ii wns impossiblefn>-thosp who had any part
in the affiirs of M issarhuset’s during the ppriod
in question, to sutler such n charge to go forth
to the World, and descend to posteriiv||wiihmit
notice. The' high official rank of the accuser,
the silent but baneful influence of the original
secret denunciation, and the deliberate and un
provoked repetition of it in a public, journal,
authorised an appeal 10 Mr. Adams, for a spe
cification of the paities and of die evidence,
and rendered such fin appeal absolutely impera
tive# No high minded- honorable man, of nnv
party, or of any Suite in our ^Confederacy,
could expect that the memory of illustrious
friends deceased, or the etc- .r er of the living,
should, he left undefended, biungb the fear of
awakening long ext'ngifslieif contrbveisies, or
of dhpirbing Mr. Adams* retirement. Mon
who feel just rasper, f.i -thbtrown rhqruftci,
and for public esireni, -'lid w.ho have > corres
ponding sense of win. 1 i. due o the wptjM.ti.in

be supposed bv die pubic to he included in Mr,
Ad-ims* (leminciuiion, to cull upon *• bn to dis-
peise the’cloud with which he li.'d enveloped
theii churncters. Such per.mis htql a i h to
require ih.it :he innocent should not suffe. with
the guilty, if ally such throe wee ; and that the
parties ngainst wlioimtihe chuge was levelled,
should h ive an opeciutiity to repeal allii dis
prove it. Mr. Ad/iins'.as tmlepil admitted that
Ins allegations could not be picved in a court of
law, and thereby prudently declined » legal in-
vt'siign’iini; but the persons implicated had still
a light to know what the ei- deuce was, which
he professed to consider as ''unequivocal,* m
order to exhibit it to the tribunal of the public,
iK-lbie whii.li he find arraigned them. He htid
spoken ol that evidence us entirely satisfactory

our letter, we thought wo might re mnab y .
expect from Iris sense of what was. due in him
self, as wpII .is .to us, tliai he would fully dis
close all the evidence which he professed .to -
consider so satisfactory; and we felt assured,
that iu thiit'event we should lie able fully to
explain or refine it, or to show that ii did" not

Mtiiigly believe, that it’ was because nehdii i'«

lose dns acknowledged right, by uuitng wi.-U
others ill the exercise of it ; nor why this mure
change of lunn should authorize Me, Ad,mis
lo disregard our cla.m. Bui there are two o ;-
jections to the course which he had condescend*
ed to pumi out, as to the only one in which he
could be approached on this occasion. Any

As io the,suggestion, that he spoke only of
