Iregret that have not had more
leisure and better opportunities to cor
rect. il they have been wrong, the
opinions I have heretofore held as to
the character of the administration of
John Quincy Adams. / am now in
clined to think they have been too
harsh and unkind, too much favored
with prejudiees originating from the
measures adopted by his father. He
had been admitted into the family of
the Mother of Presidents. He had
been trusted in high offices by Madi-
son. He had denounced Webster and
the Hartford Convention. He was
throughout in the Cabinet of Monroe,
and must have succeeded him in the
Presidency, only by the help and
friendship of Virginia and Kentucky.
