Your Committee regret the want of time
70 examine this interesting subject infinitely;
they are aware that it is impossible at so
short a notice, and in such narrow compass,
to do It justice.
Your Committee respectfully submit that
the first and most important consideration
which should engage the attention of the
American people, in selecting Chief Ma
gistrate, is an enquiry into the principle and
policy proper to be pursued by this Govern
ment. Should the present worthy incum-
bent, John Quincy Adams, be reelected,
we have already an assurance OF the meas
lres he will pursue, in the policy Of his pres
ent Administration, which is bottomed upon
what has been properly and alphabetically
called "The American System" This Sys-
TEN ensures the protection of American
Manufactures by judicious Tariff, Inter
nal improvements, by the construction Of
Canals and public Roads, and whatever may
add to the defence and security of the peo-
pie by public Notifications, and whole
some regulation ofth Army.
Your Committee cannot enter upon the
defence Of this subject for want of time
They however believe that this course oil
policy is eminently calculated to secure the
best interests and permanent happiness Of
our COMMON Country, and that it is sane
toned by liberal construction Of the Con-
stitution of the United States. Whereupon
believing the present policy of Mr.. Adams
Administration to be good one, your com
mittee can see no good reason why IL shoult
give place to another, which to say the leas
fit, is Of very doubtful character.
Your Committee further respectfully sub
NIT that the fitness. qualifications and NOR
al character Of our Public Offers, are sub
jects of great importance to wise, virtuou
and free people.
In comparison with General Andrew
jackson, the moral and mental qualification
and character Of John Quincy Adams appeal
in bold relief, and cannot fail to be PREFER
ed by the American people. Mr.. Adam
has devoted upwards of forty years Of hi
life to the public service. During th
whole of that period his industry and yea
!. in his Country's cause, his talents and higl
attachments; and his uniform strict mora
character, have given him such stron!
hold upon the affections and confidence o
avery wise and virtuous man. as cannot b.
demanded by the partizans Of Gen. Jackson
