ministfation on their elevation, because he be-
lieved the head of it held his seat against the
wishes of majority of the people. Every man
of common sense must SEQ that Mr. Clay would
not have supported Mr.. Adams unless he ,ex-
pected to be his successor. There was an I'M
derstanding between tie friends of Adams and
Clay, if not between a!he parties themselves.
He did not feel so much attached to Gen.
jackson as some did, and supposed that he would
NOT administer affairs much differently from the
present administration He respected the tai
ents and public services of Mr. Adams, but
thought there we're traits in the character of
Mr. Clay which he thought sober citizens could
not approve. The precedent that other resolu-
tions, approving of Mir. Monroe's admlnistra-
ton, had been passed, was Of no force. There
were other resolutions which had been cS-
plunged from the records. He was perfectly
ans deserved but there We're sentiments
which he had learnt in the school of aristocrisy,
for which the republican party ought TO oppose
HIM He had assumed the parti-coloured
coat of democracy, because he found he could
not wear tho diadem. The aristocracy sup.
ported him from interest: they had nothing to
expect from such stern republican as Andrew
jackson but Adams they could mould to their
wishes He opposed Adams on republican
ground, for no was supported by those whose
principles were at war with those of Jefferson.
While Andrew Jackson was defending the
fairest portion of our country fiom the British,
those who now embrace John Q. Adams were
sitting and plotting, we cannot say what, but
we suspected them OF plotting treason. The
embrace of such men was sufficient to destroy,
politically, any man. 1t was MT necessary to
defend Gen. Jackson, he had oeen most ably
defended by his distinguished rival for the
pr.AsilaniiaI chair The liberties OF the country
would not be endangered uader either Adams
or Jackson He contender that the services OF
Gen. Jackson were as valuable as those OF Mr.
Adams. If the former had violated the laws OF
his country, lie had pleaded necessity for 1t,
and recognized the principle that the military
was subordinate to the civil power. He left it
TO the qenteIlan from Cambridge Mr.. Fuller
TO show Henry Clay's moral worth: he had
done much 6r his country-lor manufactures
he supported the principle of Jefferson, and
would not have his country i'll perpetual vassal-
ace to foreign nations But Henry Clay did
not represent the sentiments of the west when
he contributed to elevate Mr.. Adams 10 the
Presidential chair. He trusted the resolutions
would be rejected.
MIR. Saltonstall, was astonishcd at the re-
marks which had fallen from the gentleman last
speaking. He had used language such as he had
never witnessed in that house in the worst
times of party exciiemcnt When party spirit
was at the highest there was some courtesy
and dignity observed Whatever language
gentlemen might put n a newspaper para
graph or in familiar conversation, they had no
right to impeach the motives of others in that
house He had had some doubts of the expe-
diency ofthe resolutions, but from the course
which the debate had taken, he felt it his duty
to record his vote in Their favor He confessed
that he had belonged t. that party which the
gentlemen had stigmatised as aristoorats, while
1t was in existence as aparty, and he saw no
reason why federalists should not support an
administration whose gepsral policy they ap-
proved; thew expected no offices. He saw
some of his old political friends opposing the
administration, Notwithstanding gentlemen had
said that the aristocraey supported Mr. Ad-
ans The administration ought not to be
blamed if the ariGtocracy did support it. The
government was bottOned on principle that If
ITS acts were right it was to receive the support
OF the community, otherwise it can never pros
per No administration could have every one OF
It's measures approved all The present admin
istration was conducted as well as i could be,
under the embari assments which the opposi-
ton threw in its -say, .. GIesa distractions
De removed, and all would approve it. After
the course the debate had taken, he could no
longer hesitate on what was his duty.
The debate was further continued by Messrs
Austin of Charestown, Brooks of Barnardston,
and Arms of Conway, when the gu stion be-
ing called for, was decided-Yeas 225 Nays
