Mr. Adams is from New England and am citizen
the West? If be unnatural in the Western Sa.es 70 SUI
port citizen Of New England it must be equally unnai'
raj in the New England States TO support ci'izen oi VI
Vest. And, on the same principle the New hnSah
States ought TO be restrained from concurng IN the ee
lion of citizen in the Southern States or the oou.ner
States from cooperating in the election OF ctzen OF ne
England. And consequently the support Whlcii we "a
three Presidents have derived from New England an
that which the Vice President recently received mas pee
most unnatraly given. The tendency OF such reasohn
would be denaona,ize and to contract every part
the Union within the selfish limits OF ITS own Sc

future must be unnatural. Happily, such IS the adhlr
Bile texture of Union, that the interests OF all us
are closely interviewer. If there are strong po.s Oh

otnot less, # not greater, strength and vsor' ohu's
