Now sir, in the first place, there IS very little rem
son to suppose that the FIRST part of this paragraph
IS true, in point of fact mean that part winch
intimates that the change Of administration was
brought about by public Misrepresentation of Mr. A
dams's conduct respecting the subject Of the colonial
trade Possibly so much was then sad, on sub
ject which so few understood, sene de ,rce OF mn
preston may have been prodl ced by 1t. But be
assured sir another cause vii be fouhd, by future
historians, for this change and that cause will be
the popularity Of successful soldier, united with
feeling made 10 be considerably extensive, that the
preferences Of the people IN his behafhad not been
Justly regarded ON previous occasion There Is.
sr,yery little ground 10 say that the only tribunal
10 which the late administration was amenable has
pronounced any judgement against ii for It's conduct
on the whole blect OF the colonial trade.
But, however this may be, the other assertion III
the paragraph is manfestly quite wide of the facts
Mr.. Adams's administration did not bring forward
this clam have suited, already, that it had been
n subject, both of negotiation and legislation
through the whole eight years of Mr. Monroc's ad-
minisration This the Secretary knew, or was
bound to know Why then does he speak Of ii as
sci np by the late administration, and afterwards
abandoned bv them, and not now revived?
