Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Correspondence Between John Quincy Adams, Esquire, President of the United States, and Several Citizens of Massachusetts: Concerning the Charge of a Design to Dissolve the Union Alleged to Have Existed in That State The National Intelligencer of the 21st of October last, contains a statement made by the President of the United States, and published by his authority, in which he denounces certain citizens of Massachusetts, as having been engaged in a design to produce a dissolution of the Union, and the establishment of a separate Confederation. As no individual was named in that communication, a few citizens of Boston and its vicinity, who supposed that they or their friends might be considered by the public, if not intended by Mr Adams, to be imprecated as parties to the alleged conspiracy, thought proper to address to him a letter dated on the 520th of November, asking for such a specification of the charge and of the evidence as might tend to remove suspicion from the innocent, and to expose the guilty, if any such there were. To this letter they received a reply from Mr Adams, dated on the 30th of December, in which he declines to make the explanation requested of him, and gives his reasons for that refusal. This correspondence, together with the original communication in the National Intelligeneer, is now presented to the public, accompanied by an appeal to the citizens of the United States, in behalf of those who may be considered as implicated in this charge. If the result should be, either to fix a stigma on any citizens of Massachusetts, or on the other hand to exhibit Mr Adams as the author of an unfounded and calunmious charge, those who have made this publication will have the consolation of reflecting that it is not they who began this controversy, and that they are not answerable for its result. That result they cheerfully leave to an impartial and discerning public; feeling assured that the most thorough investigation will serve only more fully to prove the futility of the accusation.
