PREAMBLE:
We, a portion of the Citzen of the County of
Fauq uier, feeling IN common with our fellow citi
zens In other parts of the United States, deep
interest Ia the approaching Presidential election
have assembled TO declare Opinions in relation
to question OF such importance. We do deli
beraieiy believe that the election OF John @ Adams
to the Chief Diagisiracy of these United States
was procured by bargain, intrigue, & mana cement
and directly in opposition TO the will of the peos
pie; that John q Adams has in the admnis,raiio on
oil the government departed from the principles
oil the Constitution that he has avowed doc ines
sristocraical aud sneered the sovereignty of the
people that he has put corrupt and designing
inen into high and reponsble Offices that he has
pTosti'uIed the patronage of the government for
purposes OF self ACKNOWLEDGMENT; that the cleo
uoneerinS tours of his Cabinet aud their conduct
thereupon are completely subversiye of the true
policy OF republican governments and ought TO
receive the most unqualified disapprobaton and
lastly that Tor these and other reasons he is on
worthy the farther confidence s. support of the
| people of THE union.
On the other hand we view General Andrew
jackson the existing competitor Of John O. AID
ans -as man of integrity wisdom and honesty:
as hrm and devoted patriot and as an incorrupI-
ole statesman, and we do farther sincerely believe
mat ne would scorn all self asgrandzement, which
wh'ch was not secured by fair and honorable
| means that ne would admins the Gov
upon those Republican principles upon " hich it il
based that IN the selection of his ministerial a.
gems he would disregard all personal. party and
! sectional prejudice, and have respect only to
merit and public utility; anG lastly that he j. de
edetly the choice of "a majority of the people Of
| this Republic, and particularly of tie people OF
| Fauquier
Therefore Resolved, That we will use all fair
and constitutional means prevent the reelection
OF john y. Adams, and 10 promote the election oil
Gen. Andrew jackson.
Resolved, that copy Of these proceedings be
sent TO our senator from this district and TO each
OF our delegates from this county and that they be
instructed TO their best efforts to promote the
success OF the Jackson ticket.
Resolved, that Maj. Thomas Gibson, Captain
William h. Gayle, Samuel Eskridge, Darnall
Smith, and DR.. William Thompson, be a Commit.
tee 10 correspond with other Committees in this
district and other parts OF the State.
Resolved, that these proceedings be sent 10 the
Virginia Gazettee Richmond Enquirer, and u. S.
Telegraph tor publication.
THOMAS GIBSON, Chairman.
SAMUEL Chiffon, Sec'y.
GOVERNOR CLINTON
The TWO Nationals at Washington are dsputinp
about Governor Clnton's preference for General
Jackson This controversy is ridiculous enough.
Those who know Gov. g.. know that he is mos,
favor OF General Jackson. The opinion Of such a
man against the Coalition would, no doubt be
gladly aveHed or misrepresented. a very sllroi:
! movement was recently attempted, 10 bring MIR.
| Clinton bimseli into the contests of the day lie
has been spoken of as Vice President. But the
. same reason which prevented him from accepting
the Mission TO London, would determine him no
to permit his name be used as a candidate for
the Vice Presidency. y notice was given IN
Fauqnier county, Virginia, for meeting 20 be
held OF those who were in his favor as President.
Such a NEE ing, IL seems, has ef been held aud
probably VIII not be, there, or any where in Vlr-
sinIs. The people oil this state, land have we not
every reason TO think il is the case in all the other
stately have taken their ground in favor OF Jack
son or Adams, and will not be induced to vote for
third candidate. Each of the present candidates
has TOO many s'sunch original friends who viii
prefer them to any one else. Mr.. C. has no chance
OF being elected II he falls will only ALLEVIATE
from him the friends of them both on any u-
tnre attempt 1t wouli hold him up to the nation
as temporising and indecsive politcian-Bnt The
people VIII not now support a th candidate
warmly, for smother reason. 1t might Tn oyy the
election again into the House OF Representative;
result, which would probably be very agreeable
to the administrations bat which the peopl. have
che power, and are determined, TO prevent. UnIer
ibe~e circumstances, and wi h sach an inevitabl.
Te-ut before him, we are thoroughly persuaded that
Mr.. Clinton has too much ssgscity not TO perceiye
the effect on himself that would flow from such a
use OF his name. Although we do not believe
ourselves, that he would permit his name and in
huenee 10 be thus used TO defeat the 7DtH of the
PeoPie; yet If such were made Of with his
consent, and Mr.. Adams should be re elected by
the H. Of II. the friends Of Mr. G., would have
cause to regret 20 III advised a step And II
