as have conceived it was my duty, while
holding seat in the Senate of the Union to
support the administration of the General
Government, i'll all necessary measures,
within its competency, the object OF which
was to preserve from seizure and deDre-
dation the persons and property Of our citi-
zens, and to vindicate the rights essential to
the independence of our Country, against
the unjust prctensions and aggression of
all foreign powers.
Certain resolutions recently passed by you,
have expressed your disapprobation of mca-
surcs, to which under the influence of these
motives gave my assept---as far as the o.
pinions of a majority in the Legislature can
operate, I cannot but consider these resolu-
tons, asenjoinins upon tine Representation of
the State in Congress, a sort of opposition to
the National Administration, in which /
cannot consistently with my principles con-
cur.
To give you however an opportunity of
placing in the Senate of the United States n
member, who may devise and enforce the
means of relieving our fcllow-citizens from
their present snfferings, without sacrificing
the peace of the nation, the personal liber-
tiec of Soa MOI tha n ,;c-l &C
onr Commerce, now restore to you the
trust committed to my charge, and resign
my seat as a Senator Of the United States,
on the part of the Commonwealth.
i am, with perfect respect,
Gentlemen, your very humble
and ebeAient servant,
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
