welfare OF country, snd believing that to lie
ton Of Chief Magistrate OF the Union. when
all around are expressing their opinions, would
argue an indifference we da not feel, we hsve met
together 70 express our sentiments on that SUBJECT
We see that the choice OF a Pres dent in ell ;;ro
bsbilty, is 10 be made from two ndiyidualz, Mr.
Adams, The present Chic, Magistrate of the u
States and Gen Andrew jackson MIR. Adams
was first introduced into pub ic service by Gen.
Wa=hinst n, and received his particular ard
marked appreciation; continued in the pubc
service by the elder Adams, his father by the al
vice and Recommendation OF Washington JJuder
the administrations OF Jefferson, Ma !ison and
Monroe, he filled vaftous and important uulJic
stations, and discharged the duties as TO retain
and increase their confidence, and raise himself in
the iubc estimation. After nearly thirty wars
IN The sefy ce of the Government, in an election
conducted according 10 the provisions Of our con -
siiuion, he was placed, where we nov find him
in the elevated Stallion of Chief Magistrate OF IN.
