AN ADD SS
TO THE FREEMEN OF MARYLAND.
Vrom a Convention of Delegates appointed by
the people oftlie State, friendly to the re-elcc-
tio of JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, as President
of the United States, and held in the City ol
Baltimore, on the 23d day of July, 1827.
[CONCLUDED.]
During llie late canvass for electors of
president and Vice President, exception
was taken by Mr. Cla.v to the construc
tion and facts [riven in a correspondence
between Mr. Adams and Mr. Russel inre-
Jaiion to events that transpired on the
Mission to Ghent ; yet the contest which
grew out of this betivdBh Mr. Adams and
Mr. Clay, was not of a nature to interrupt
their accustomed intercourse and associa
tion. But the stand taken by Mr. Clay
in thevear IS19 against General Jackson’s
conduct, just after the Seminole war, a
time when no man on earth expected that
the General would ever he held up as
a candidate for the Presidential Chair,
was of a much harsher and more serious
cli tractor ; and we have every reason to
believe, produced from that day an entire
alienation between tbem, and implanted
in die General tbe most implacable resent
ment. Mr. Clay, on (bat occasion, ar
raigned the conduct of Gen. Jackson, in
th° most fearless terms, and with an ability
rarely equalled bv any man, seldom sur
passed bv himself. This bo did in the dis
charge of his congressional dutv, when the
gems of Gon. Jackson’s glory were fresh
sparkling amend bis brow. Some years
liter tins, when Mr. Clay is called upon
by the Consii-uUnn with other members of
the House of Ren- nqon'atives to u make a
choice” bp'wer:- Mr Adams and Gener
al Jackson of a President of the United
States, be prefers and votes for Mr. Ad
am. Mr. Clay’s influence in the House
was ! mg known and had been considered
greater than 'hat of anv other member—
’oil'llms, Itis long s'anduig as a member, his
t?ngaging dppnrtmen* towards every body,
and Ins able and satisfactory discharge of
the offim ofspml-op. I* was doubtful who
wnubi lie rh'c'ed b v the House—Mr, Clay
teing known to advocate Mr. Adams’ elec
tion, and Mr. Adams being elected on the
best b-<l!o:, it was immediately imputed to
Mr. Clay’s influence, and it was then
most unworthy and unwarrantably assert-
ed by some, who were smarting under
disappuintmen*, 'hat this result was owing
to corrupt understanding between them.
M hen Mr. Y-! mis, in forming h's cabinet,
nominated Mr. Clav as Secretary of State,
and the Senate “ advised and consented
to it.” 'Imn the storv was rounded off, and
it was agreed by Opposition that the np-
p utment of Secretary of State should be
considered as the “ wages of sin”—thus
imputing to n majority of the Senate of
the United States, who were present
throughout the whole transaction and who
we»e intimately conversant with all the
circumstances, a deliberate participation
in the corruption by “ advising and con
senting” to the nomination—and a large
portion of that majority too are now of the
preset)' Opposition.
It 'he soepch of Mr. Clay in ]S19, ar
raigning Gep. .1 tekson’s conduct is refer
red to, i ; i« believed ibat ro unprejudiced
man would ever suppose after that, lie
could have been Induced ' v '-ote for
Gen. Jackson as the Chief Magistrate of
the country. No;- is there any fair g 'minds
to believe that be supported Mr. Adams
from personal motives of mv sort, but
from a conviction, such as inflninces our
selves, hat he was obviously and decided
ly the best qualified man, and as such, he
was compelled bv duty to vote for him.
As liute do we believe that Mr. Ad
ams nominated Mr. Clay to the Senate as
Secretary of Stare tram personal attach
ment or obligation; but knowing that no
nun in this country bad passed through a
more brilliant public course for the last
twenty years than Mr Clay, in which lie
had acquired great popularity and evinced
a statesmanlike ability that classed him in
the foremost rank of American Statesmen,
it is fair to conclude, that Mr. Adams was
governed by the established reputation of
Mr. Clay and the public sentiment to
wards him, «fc that he very properly desired
both his services and his fame to give their
usefulness and lustre to his Administra
tion. It was not necessary for Mr. Clay
have a bargain or understanding with
an y of them—he was conpious, and the
world knew full well, that whichsoever
candidate he supported, if he succeeded,
would call Ifim to the station of Secretary
of State as a tribute to his merit, and as a
powerful aid to the Administration.
Had Mr. Ciav been an ordinary or sub
altern man who could have been managed,
and who had been thus elevated to a sta
tion for which he was unfit, then indeed
there might have been some plausibility
of a “ bargain”—But if his conceded dis
tinction as a Statesman justifiably com
manded the appointment, we ought to
distrust both the reasoning and the conjec
ture that implied the belief of stipulated
reward. We disdain all such suppositi
tious imputations to accomplish ends—and
with this plain narrative of facts wo meet
fhe conjectural and gratuitous positions of
the Opposition.
Next Mr. Adams’ appointments, to of
fice are harshly censured to bring him into
disrespute. On this poiht, so delicate in
its nature, many reason either with a mor
bid or with a wounded sensibility 7 , whilst
comparitively few agree in any particular.
In selecting a citizen for any public station
many hopes will be frustrated, and tbe dis
appointed parties and their friends will be
apt to indulge in repudiating the choice,
and enlisting the feelings of others in their
behalf. In an extended empire, like our
own, where numerous appointments are to
he made in different parts of it, a Chief
Magistrate must necessarily often rely
much upon the judgment and information
of others ; and it is equally certain, that
no man can give universal satisfaction in
appointments. We do not pretend to say
that we would have recommended, or that
we approve of all the appointments of the
President—but we very much doubt,
whether any of the gentlemen who have
been*held up as candidates would have
made more that we should have approved
—and as we onlv desire that the charac
ter of the country should be sustained and
its welfare promoted by a due and prop
er discharge of all official duties, although
we cannot divest ourselves of our prefer
ence for friends, it is our duty to be con
tented with those who acquit themselves
in office faithfully and well. When
President Adams came into power, he dis
tinct 1 v made it known, that he would con
fine himsplf to no partv in his selections
for apnointmenf—and he was then goner-
all v commended for it—To this he has
conformed—On which party he has con
ferred most or greatest appointments, we
consider unimportant. If the appointing
power will keep integrity of character and
ample knowledge and ability to discharge
tbe duties of office, with approved fidelity
fojhe counfrv stendilvSn view, we unhes
itatingly accord to-it a fair indulgence of
feeling, gnidpd bv such safeguards and
and wholesome restraints.
Tt is formidably charged too unon Pre
sident Aranas bv the Jackson Convention,
that in taking a portion of his appoint
ments from the parties that did not sup
port his election, he has been g’liltv of an
attempt to corrunt them. At tbe same
time the Secretary of State is assailed for
taking the printing of the laws from his
foes and giving it to his friends. Without
stopping to remark upon the unkind and
•■■■!• '
unon those who have been appointed to
office, or to reconcile this blowing hot
and cold with tho same mouth—we will
merely obse-ve, that it is impossible for
any man to make any appointment that
the ingenuity of opposing partizans may not
impute to bad motives, or find some pre
tences to condemn. If the President con
fines appointment to bis own friends, tbe
erv of proscription is loudly resounded.—
Tf he appoints from those who have oppo
sed him, he is charged with corruption.—
Sn, if a Secretary of State, in fulfilment
of the la » which empowers him to select
'he printers of the laws, perH#ts that pa
tronage to remain with those who revile
him and desire to destroy his reputation,
he is either laughed at as timid or imbe
cile, or lie is said to wish to win over his
adversaries by rewards. P.ut if he bold
ly resumes that patronage from those who
basely malign him and confides it to those
who treat him more fiiendlv and fairly,
we see that he is accnsed of partiality, of
cruel injustice, and of a wish to “punish
independence.” Seeing then that the ap
pointment of neither friend nor opponent
can escape condemnation, to what are we
to attribute such censures ? Or from whom
can an appointment be made? We abjure
all such indiscriminate, such captious ob
jections—all such predetermined, impla
cable hostility—and we thank that man
in the name of our country, whoever he
may be, that has the magnanimity and
firmness, in making his selections for office
to appoint those who are distinguished for
their virtues, their capacity, and their fi
delity to the country, regardless of politi
cal names or party d'sinctions.
But how injudicious is it in the Opposi
tion thus to commit themselves ? How
inconsistent is it thus to attempt to censure
President Adams for disregarding party
distinctions in making some of his appoint
ments from those who opposed him ; when
it is known that next to the victory at N.
Orleans, the strongest motive avowed bv
many of them for supporting Gen. Jack-
son, is his letter to president Monroe,
where, among other things, he advises him
to pursue the very same course, of
making his appointments indiscriminately
from all parties among men of approved
fidelity to the country. Thus it.is we see,
how a heated zeal takes the lead from dis
cretion and betrays into inconsistency
those, who have united with an Opposi
tion that has proclaimed from the begin
ning, even before the adoption of a single
measure, “that the Administration should
be put down, if its measures were as pure
as those of Angels.”
That there may be among the Opposi
tion those, confiding less in the merit of
their qualifications than in their violence
and animated exertions in behalf of party
to recommend to office, who do not like
either the liberal advice of General Jack-
son or the liberal practice of Mr. Adams,
we pretend neither to assert nor to deny—
but if this conduct in Mr. Adams can be
imputed to him as a fault, presuming that
General Jackson gave his advice in good
faith, what right have the Opposition to
expect from him a different or better
course ?
wc
Another objection urged against Presi
dent Adams is, that he has neither recom
mended nor used his influence with Con
gress to alter the Constitution so as to
prevent the election of President from
coming before the House of Representa
tives.
How far it becomes a President of the
United States, at all times to recommend
alterations in the Constitution of the Fed
eral Government, is a grave and great ques
tion that we have neither time nor space
here to look into. We would barely re
mark, that in a confederated government,
the alteration of the constitution is a very
serious matter at any time, and one very
dan erous to be meddled with in times of
high political excitement—and the ques
tion here alluded to, as it touches the bal
ance of power among the states, and is one
of the very few instances where the states
act upon a perfect equality, and relate?, to
the election of an incumbent for that office
which the President now holds, and to
which he is constitutionally >e-eligible, it
appears to us that such a proposition bad
as well come from any other quarter as
from the President himself, and as this
was a question by no means new or un
known, it appertained as much to the du
ties of a member of Congress to introduce
it, as those oftlie President to recommend
it. But the proposition was brought be
fore Congress and failed—and as. many of
the friends of President Adams, with o-
thers, did not agree to (he provisions that
were to accompany this change, he is cen
sured for not attempting to control these
members of Congress in an independent
legislative act ; and be is accused ofdere-
liction of duty and of being false to bis
pledge, in not intermeddling with the pro
ceedings of tbe House and enforcing 'he
measure whilst it was before them. Here
again we see another entrapping dilemma
studiously prepared for the President. If
he had presented this matter to Congress
in a message, which be never gave the
slightest promise or pledge to do he would
have been exposed to tbe imputation by
those of his adversaries opposed to the
measure, of using official influence to re
gulate the election 'f President to suit bis
own views. As he did not present the
matter to Congress, lie is accused of de
serting bis duty, and of violating a pro
mise, set up f>r lum bv tbe wildest con
struction of his opponents, which he never
made.
Again, because be did not intermeddle
with the matter when it was before the rep •
resentatives, which be certainly had no
support the measure and its provisions,
whether he or they thought them proper
or not, ho is condemned to bear all the
blame of its mascarriage.—On the other
hand, if the President had intermeddled
with proposition pending before tbe House,
he would deservedly have rendered him
self obnoxious to the hue and erv of us-
ingofficial influence ove'r tbe coti oils of
an independent branch of tbe legislature.
Wi'h such opponents, if he acts, be does
wrong—if he forbears to act, be abandons
dutv—if ho controls the votes of his
friends, supposing that he could possibly
do so, lie is guilty, with some, of an un
constitutional interference with other
branches of the government—If he does
not attempt to controul them, he is saddled,
by others, with the blame of tbe miscar
riage of the measure.
The true ground of difficulty in rela
tion to changing this part of the constitu
tion, is how to dispose ef and regulate the
election ef President, when it fails to be
consummated by the electoral colleges—
and upon this ground it is destined to fail
perpetually. The views and tbe sugges
tions are so various, and tbe feelings of
state sovereignty are so strong, that there
is little hope of a coincidence of opinion
in any change—a-d this is the cause whv
the proposition failed whom it was before
Congress, and not from any want of inter
ference or aid on the part of the Presi
dent.
, There can be no doubt that there are
many men in this country, who would de
sire this change in the constitution if they
could substitute a satisfactory provision—
but it is equally well known, that a partic
ular set of politicians have fixed their
hparts and staked their hopes upon this
question and its management, as the
great and efficient means to regulate the
Presidential question for some time to
com.*. To them “This is the road to
Byzantium,” on which they are moving
in gallant array.
Tedious as these details are, which have
swelled this add ess to aD extent much be
yond our wishes, we are compelled to
meet objections that are gravely and in
dustriously put forth however unsound in
their view or unfounded in fact—and we
must take notice of a last objection, rela
ting to the Colonial Trade, which charges
the Administration with the loss of this
trade—first, from neglect to give instruc
tions to our minister,—and secondly, by
omitting to recommend the repeal of the
discriminating duties—and lastly*, they
are balmed for abandoning terms that
were asked by a former administration—
which terms, it was ascertained, could ne
ver be granted.
We will meet these objections by a
plain statement of the facts belonging to
the case—and although none would more
sincerely deplore the loss of the direct
trade with the British West Indies, and
none would be more prompt to resent its
loss, where it could be ascribed to bad con
duct, than ourselves, yet we are far from
implicating the conduct of others by inde
fensible suspicions or attacks to answer po
litical ends.

erties of the American people. I urther
that by the elevation of General Jackson
his known acceptable »nd high standin^
at the British Court were the best pledges
ot this—but the history of die world is full
of examples how unforseen occurrences
have fnistated the plans ofhuman wisdom
—Mr. King, unfortunately and unexpect
edly, was taken ill on his voyage to Eng
land, and after his arrival there continued
to be an afflicted and debilitated invalid
—inso much so, hat he was incompetent
to any thing like labor, and could only at
tend to some minor subjects that remain
ed unadjusted, that yvere less difficult of
arrangement. But it is said be received
no instructions to enable him to renew the
question on the Colonial Trade if his
health had improved—The reason he did
not receive these instructions is obvious,
viz : because no intimation had been giv
en on tbe part oftlie British Government
of a disposition to renew the negotiation,
after the suspension. After the negotia
tion in the hands of Mr. Rush there was
but little reason to believe, from the cor
respondence, that we could speedily ob
tain the terms proposed by our Govern
ment ; and therefore, as we were in the
enjoyment of a good trade, there was no
inducement on our part to press the sub
ject. Our greatest interest was, in hav
ing tbe trade permanently secured by
treaty, rather than to leave it tp the muta
ble and unsteady arrangements of legisla
tive acts on bo'Ii sides—Forbearance
therefore on our part, so far from being a
fault, was rather advised bv policy*. Some
time afterwards, when the British Govern
ment appointed two ministers to renew
the negotiation, and sent information of
it to our Government, though Mr. Vaugh
an, the British Minister at Washington,
in March, 1826, with an invitation to
unite another Minister with Mr. King, on
ncffuipl Jif liio 111 h/iailJi • ilia colontiniv
another Minister engaged the immediate
attention of Mr. Adams, and whilst he
was consulting with a gentleman who
should go out for that purpose, a letter
was received from Mr. King begging to
be recalled, and stating, that be had no-
longer a hope of recovering his health—
the truth of winch has been lamentably
confirmed by the death of that distingusih-
ed man, who was soon after “ gathered”
to his associates, the departed Fa'hers of
the Federal Constitution, The Admin
istration could but yield to the petition of
Mr. King and a minister (Mr. Gallatin)
was immediately appointed with ample
powers of conciliation, and hurried on to
London with all convenient despatch.—
Where, upon his arrival in August, in
stead of meeting with the British Commis
sioners to enter upon tbe negotiation, as
he had been invited, he was met by the
British Order in Council of July prece
ding, interdicting her West India ports to
our vessels. Mr. Gallatin used every ex
ertion to revive the negotiation, But the
British Government, up to the last ac
counts, have proved inflexible.
It is further stated by Opposition, that
President Adams neither recommended
the repeal of the discriminating duties,nor
did he countenance the proposition
brought before Congress for that purpose.
He did not recommend any measure to
Congress in the session of 1825, 26, in re
lation to tbe colonial trade, as the ne^o-
ciation was then suspended—tior at that
of 1826, 27, because the British interdict
had been previously issued—but be sub
mitted tbe whole matter with the corres
pondence to Congress for their consider
ation—'That neither the President nor the
Secretary of State discountenanced the
proposition to repeal tbe discriminating
duties, is satisfactorily proved by the tes- j then the people have reason to approve of
timony of two distinguished members of; the conduct and measures of a Chief Ala-
Congress, viz. Gen, Smith, a Senator J gist rate, they act wisely to continue him

ly explicit in a similar defence of Secreta- ! we offer our humble and reverential sup-
ry Clav—Withsuch evidenceagainstthem plication to the Author of all Good, that
we presume even the opposition must
cower and retire.
That the Administration have abandon
ed, in their instructions to Mr. Gallatin,
the terms which were insisted on under
the Administration of Mr. Monroe, which
were the terms upon which the negocia-
tion was broken off in 1824, may be true,
and certainly this Administration has ac
ted wisely in so doing ; but is there any
thing derogatory in an Administration
yielding up terms which had been unsuc
cessfully urged bv a preceding one, and
which it found unattainable ? Oris it ei
ther unusual or disreputable in govern
ments, finding that they cannot obtain oil
they want in their commercial negocia-
tions, to abandon a part of their preten
sions in order to secure others ? We
omit to touch upon the views displayed
by the British Cabinet in the matter
which would further illustrate our onin-
can effect it a prevalence of the “State
right” doctrine in the construction cl the
Constitution.
Resnlved, That wo earnestly recom
mend to tbe People of Mai viand a cordial
and active support of JOHN QUINCY
present Administration weie impioper, or ! ADAMS as the next President of the U.
if a rational hope could be held out to us i States.
that a different course of measure * more
propitious to the interest oftlie Republic,
would be pursued by another more capa
ble of administering tbe Government
than tbe present incumbent, our duty to
our country would oblige us uuhesitatinglv
to support that man.
We desire not to cloud this great ques
tion with any thing that can lead us from
simplicity of truth, or furnish a doubt of
tbe sincerity with which we speak. Wo
know of no act of General Jackson’s life,
of nothing that has proceeded from him,
that can justifiy Hf in the belief that be is
qualified to fill the station of Chief Magis
trate of this country ; and if we can trust
his bosom friend and biographer (Eaton)
who is amongst the most ardent of his sup
porters, the General’s sense of duty has
hitherto obliged him to resign the several
subordinate civil stations to which lie has
been appointed, because he felt himself
incapable to discharge their duties proper
ly, and as the Jackson manifesto would
adroitly impress the belief, that it was to
“ take higher ones.”—Thus, in the ab
sence of all other qualifications, tbe mil
itary popularity of tbe Chieftain is to be
the club of Hercules in the hands of an
aspiring Opposition with which they are
to fell tbe present Administration—and
the dynasty of the nation is cast, that af
ter the reward of a single term in the
Presidential Chair, his sun is to set in the
west and a new orb is to arise, whose
shorn radiance is in the mean time to be
relumed.
But with a Chief Magistrate thus pro
nounced incompetent by his intimate
friend, at a guileless moment when there
was no expectation that the General would
ever be thought of as a candidate for tho
Presidential Chair, what are we to expect
but that his course will be directed by a
privy council of friends ?—and look to
those friends, talented as they are, and see
what a heterogeneous mixture of political
policy they present, so far as their views
are made known—how destitute of any es
sential principle ofcohesion—how versatile
some have appeared in tbe progress of
events. Can the people of this country
act so unreflectingly as to reject a compe
tent, and tried, and approved Adminis
tration for the purpose of running the risk
of such a state of things as the contempla
ted change would be likely to entail on
them ? Satisfied with tbe present course
of measures, they ought to be cautious bow
they permit this change—for to use the
thought of one of our earliest and sound
est statesmen, “ To undo what has been
done by* a predecessor is considered by a
rival successor as the best proof of his own
capacity and desert; and where the
change of men has been the result of pub
lic #toico, the person substituted will
consider himself warranted in supposing
that the dismission of his predecessor has
proceeded from a dislike to his measures,
and the more he varies from his course,
the more he will be likely to recommend
himself to the favor of his constituents.—
These considerations in the case ofrival
candidates, where an administration has
been supplanted by a competitor would be
apt to induce the new President to pro
mote changes which would not only sub
vert the existing policy, but occasion a
disgraceful and ruinous mutability in tbe
administration of government. When
