known ; they never inlloeiiee !ier comu-ilfi.
There is no political principle, or project,
upon which the citizen* divide ami array
themselves against i iu.li other. There are
no distinguished nu n ret np as idols to lie
worshipped, under whose banners the citi-
■7.1'ns are enlisted anil drilled for political I'uin-
hat. We have neither Clintons mu' Tump-
Iiinsi s, Heisters nor Finleys, to pul np nr pull
down; we kmnv nothing of the extreme of
Wealth, and hut little of that of poverty.—
Equality, in respect tn property and intelli
gence, prevails among us to a very great ex
tent. The bond of common interests unites
tis among ourselves, mid hinds us firmly to
the Union—of consequence our situation is
one aptly adapted to tile exercise of sound
judgment. We have no citizen of our own
who looks to the piesidenliid chair, in whose
favour our feelings of affection or state
pride might ho enlisted. We are called to
make a selection from among the citizens
of other states, and we may well assert, that
we make this selection upon public prinei-
,plcs.
These require that a President of I hi* U-
nited States be a man of good character,
(sound judgment, re«|n ctalile. acquirements,
conversant with mankind, well instructed ill
.human character, of enlarged mind, liberal
principles, known mid respected both at
home, and abroad, free from the entangle
ments of political faction, lint obnoxious to
none; attached to our institutions, in their
primitive character, earnestly devoted to
the protection of national industry, internal
as well as external, practically acquainted
with the employment of individuals, in all
their various relations ; of dignified deport
ment, hut open, frank and easy of approach ;
in fine', lie should he a liberal statesman, an
able scholar, and a finished gentleman.—
"When an individual thus qualified is put in
nomination, it cannot be objected that the
general good is disregarded, even if it were
admitted that private, or local attachment
had operated in the selection.
It is not my intention to controvert the
qualifications of any one of the gentlemen
named as candidates, in a general sense.—
This is not necessary to my purpose, which
.is to state the reasons that, I think, ought to
determine the preference of Ohio, admitting
the general qualifications of all the candi
dates.
Mr. Adams, Mr. Crawford, and Mr. Cal
houn, llio three principal secretaries, are all
named as candidates. I would prefer no
one. of them. It is time that a President was
selected from among the citizens at large.
This high office should no longer lie confer
red, in succession, upon the principal officers
jif the executive cabinet.
Rotation in office, is admitted to be one of
the great fundamental doctrines of republi
canism. It is founded tipou this well known
trait of human conduct, that when a man is
continued for a long time in public employ
ment, he is apt to forget the relation in which
lie stands to the people, and to manage their
concerns as if all public institutions were in
tended lo confer wealth and hillucncu upon
himself and his relations. All public abuses
proceed from this trait of character. Theie
is a kind of official morality, a set of official
maxims, hy which men who have been long
in office, regulate their conduct, and excuse
or justify their depredations upon the pub
lic. These have been aptly called tlio har
ness of office. At first it does not set easy ;
there is n pinching and attrition that occasi
ons IVelfulness and cliafjng. ltut after a lit
tle wearing the parts all become indurated,
mid instead of occasioning any uneasiness,
the wearer is always best satisfied when it
is close buckled about him. 1 remember
well, that when i was first a member of
the Legislature, I felt serious scruples about
the propriety of using the public stationary,
for writing private letters. Rut at the close
of my Legislative career, 1 was scarcely
content If I were not supplied by the public
with hot pressed paper for my private cor
respondence. Every man, who has been
,rn public office, must have felt something of
the same character in tlm first stages of his
•official lili’, and must have noted his change
of feeling, as he became more familiar with
the station.
The object of rotation in office is to carry
Into public employment the heallhl'ul, vigo
rous, upright and unsophisticated feeling of
the. private citizen, and return the official
hack to the walks of private life. By doing
this, at stated periods, there is an iricicased
prospect.of correcting cxi'-ling abuses, and
preventing, for a lime, new ones from ori
ginating.!
At tlio termination of the presidency of
Mr. Monroe, it may he correctly said that
there will have lo-en no eliange in the chief
executive department of the Union, for
III sides these general objection:!, I enli r-
tain some personal exceptions lo two of the

—Mr. Adams is emphatically a man of of
fice. It lus composed Ills clement and at
mosphere from early life. Practically, lie
knows nothing of the occupations by which
individuals acquire their subsistence. He
has been abstracted from the busy occupa
tions of men. He lias contemplated man
kind in their political relations only. As to
every thing else lie is a mere schoolman,
drawing bis knowledges of mankind from
books, and not from real life. Men of this
character may lie serviceable, in subordinate
stations, but they are not qualified to lend

Hip same predicament. The true principle
of rotation in nfiSeo has no practical applica

uo’dd array against ns the ruling politicians
of New York, ami to a certain extent, in

our duty to keep aloof. I therefore consid
er Mr. Clinton as nut of the question.
Of Air. Tompkins, it is only necessary to

demonstrated that his character is not '.tid
ed fertile chief magistrate of a peaceful and
republican nation.
Air. Lowndes of South Carolina, and Mr.
Clay of Kentucky, are the two remaining
geittli nii'ii who have been named as candi
