HeurD D. Palmer u.s. j. E. AcDon0uoh.-This was
the argument on the application OF the lessees Of

John Quincy Adams Mt Home.

WHAT HE SAID TO HIS FRIENDS AND
NEIGHBeRs ABOUT THE SOUTH.
The Hon. John Quincy Adams
made an address to his friends and
neighbors ut Weymouth, Mass, on
Thursday last, in the course of which
he said:
AS you all know, 1 have made lit
tie trip to the South. I wished to
see what reconstructed State was,
and 1 went to South Carolina for
that purpose. [ have come back with
this conviction, though I do not know
how the other conservative citizens
of the Union may feel about it. 1
never intend to stop to relax for one
moment in the heartiest, most ear
nest and most honest efforts [ can
make, to remove all such BLESSINGS"
as reconstruction from the necks of
every one of my fellow-citizens.
Loud applause. The issue in this
campaign to me is simply this, and
nothing more. Reconstruction, as
you know, is the radical Constitution.
1t is the only Constitution now in
ten States of the Union, and what is
1t? 1t is simply this-the rule of the
military and nothing else. In order
that it may not jar too much upon
the nerves of Republican people to
see eight millions Of their fellow
citizens held down by the bayonet,
they have brought in great mass of
three or four millions of poor, igno-
rant, degraded black men, and set
them up in row as it were, across
the Southern States, and because
they think you cannot see the bayo-
net behind them, they say, "That is
Republican form of government.
How Republican? What is this Re-
publican form of government? Why
look at the condition of those States.
Suppose that almost all the voters
in this Commonwealth should sud-
denly be deprived of the franchise.
and in their place it was bestowed

nothing about any of the PRINCIPLES

Suppose such class of men we're to

not like it-you would feel uncom-
Portable and disagree, and you would
not suffer their rule if you could help
it. Yet this is precisely the condition
in which South Carolina is to-day.
