FouRTH ARGUMENr.-I The people hare n right
10 kno'o HE true political principles ofa can
didnte for public ebfce.
Mr.. John Quincy Adams is a candidate for
the Presidency ; his political principles are in
dispute and this publication will show what
they are. He is upon trial, before the Ameri
can people, and no evidence which is true,
"nght To be withheld from the jury. If Mr.
Adams 10 not willing Ia he tried let him decline
standing as \ candidate ; bur while he stands,
the people have right TO try him, and will
| try hun, and, therefore, haze n right 10 hear
| the evidence.
| It's true, that circumstances, strong as proofs
from holy writ, demonstrate Mr.. Adams, ia
wv uoW' w secret, Wlat ne was openly for l6
year Jederniist Of The Boston stamp Blu,
there are some minds which will not he con
vlcted by circumsldntidt evidence. There are
jurors who will not give their verdict until YOU
bring up "A witness who swears point blank
g That he Saio The man, Kill The mar" To all
| such, the correspondence in question, presents
the evidence which their incredulOus minds
demand for conviction. II gives the history
oi the Joint sudden, simultaneous, and smn-
lated conversions of the Messrs Adams, ia
Their and son, from federalism to repnblicansm
IN the winter Of the year ISO7-8 II shews
the Interested motive upon which this simulat-
ed conversion was predicated. II shews that
republican Offices, not republican principles.
was the thing the gentlemen were in search Of
II shews, that Mr.. John Quincy, in voting
for the embargo. and in accepting an embas-
sy to Russia, still adhered To the federasts
cultivated their good will, and was looked 10
by them, AS the Messiah of their political sal
walton.
The proofs will he found in the following
extracts.
