Congress. Relying on the attachment of tha. bo
idy to the principles upon which the government is
based, the people - not doubt but that the man o.

from them, would be elected. Contrary, however,
TO their expectations, their sovereignty was vio-
lated, The spirit oI the constitution was made to
yield 10 the terms and John Quincy Adams,
having much less electoral vote, was preferred.
The people al housh defeated on that occs sion,
were not vanquished. Their attachment to the
