Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From John Quincy Adams to His Constituents of the Twelfth Congressional District in Massachusetts: To Which Is Added His Speech in Congress, Delivered February 9, 1837 I considered, as I stated in my address of the Slst of January, the system of action of the House upon the abo lition petitions as settled for the remainder of the session. But between that and the next day for receiving petitions, Monday, the 6th of February, I received thirty petitions, among which were two which came to me by the mail, postmarked Fredericksburg, Virginia; one of them signed by nine names of women, in various hand-writing; some of them good, none of illiterate appearance. It prayed not for the abolition of slavery, but that. Congress would put a step to the slave-trade in the District of Columbia. It was accompanied by a letter signed by one of the names subscribed to the petition, requesting me to present it. The other purported to be from twenty-two slaves, sub scribed so as to have every appearance of being genuine; the first name being in a hand-writing not absolutely bad, and subscribed also alone to a letter requesting me to pre sent the petition. I believed the petition signed by female names to be genuine, and did not believe them to be names offree negroes or mulattoes; but had I known them to be such, that would not have deterred me from presenting it; the object of it being not only proper in itself, but lauda ble, and eminently fit for subscription by virtuous women of any color or complexion. I had suspicions that the other, purporting to be from slaves, came really from the hand of a master, who had prevailed on his slaves to sign it, that they might have the, appearance of imploring the members from the North to cease offering petitions for their emancipation, which could have no other tendency than to aggravate their servitude, and of being so impatient under the operation of petitions in their favor, as to pray that the northern members who should persist in present ing them should be expelled. Intimations of the same de sire had already been manifested in quarters very remote from servitude, and not even professors of servility. They had been seen in a newspaper of this city, professedly de voted to the pure coinage of democracy from the mint of Van, Buren and Rives, against the counterfeit currency of Benton and Amos Kendall. The Albany Argus itself, a paper known to be under the same infldences, had la mented that the Massachusetts madman should be permit ted, week after week, - to do what? To persist in presenting abolition petitions! This was the head and front of my offending; and for this alone, the petition from slaves, for my expulsion from the House, was but the echo of the distinct and explicit call from the Albany Argus and the Van Buren and Rives's Washingtonian.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address of John Quincy Adams, to His Constituents of the Twelfth Congressional District A large number were present from the neighboring towns - some from quite a distance, all anxious to do honor to their intrepid and indefatigable public servant. Upon the entrance of Mr. Adams into the church, the whole assembly, ladies included, rose to welcome him. After a prayer had been addressed to the Throne of Grace, by Rev. Mr. Perkins, of Braintree, the President, Mr. Davis, addressed to Mr. Adams the following brief but excellent, appropriate, and expressive welcome, which was cordially and warmly approved by the assembly. Mr. Davis's Speech. We are assembled, fellow citizens, from all quarters of our Congressional District, from the banks of the Neponset to the Rock of Plymouth, to welcome the return of our venerable Representative, at the close of the longest, and certainly one of the most exciting sessions of the Congress of the United States. Since the formation of this District, a period of nearly ten years, he has represented us on the floor of Congress. We meet today, therefore, to thank him not merely for the services of a single session, but to acknowledge the debt of gratitude which has been accumulating during the whole of that period. I believe I express the universal sentiment, when I say that those services were never more highly estimated than at this moment. They have never been more signal than during the session of Congress which has just terminated. Conspicuous as have been the efforts of your Representative upon these great questions, the Tariff. Distribution, the Veto Power, yet, gentlemen, our country and posterity will reserve their highest honors for his commanding eloquence and gigantic labors in defence of a right, without which all other rights and all other interests are of small account, the Right of Petition. For the maintenance of this right, guaranteed by the constitution in the broadest terms, your venerable Representative has been branded as a traitor, and his expulsion threatened from the post where you had placed him. I need not tell you of the signal defeat of the enemies of that right, in their desperate attempt to overpower and disarm its veteran champion. That is a triumph, gentlemen, of which Southern chivalry cannot yet boast. "Though aged, he was so iron of limb, Few of our youth could cope with him, And the foes whom he singly kept at bay Outnumbered his thin hairs of silver grey.'

Book Synopsis Adams and Calhoun by : William F. Hartford
Download or read book Adams and Calhoun written by William F. Hartford and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the evolving lives of two men who were crucial political figures in the consequential decades prior to the Civil War Although neither of them lived to see the Civil War, John Quincy Adams and John C. Calhoun did as much any two political figures of the era to shape the intersectional tensions that produced the conflict. William F. Hartford examines the lives of Adams and Calhoun as a prism through which to view the developing sectional conflict. While both men came of age as strong nationalists, their views, like those of the nation, diverged by the 1830s, largely over the issue of slavery. Hartford examines the two men's responses to issues of nationalism and empire, sectionalism and nullification, slavery and antislavery, party and politics, and also the expansion of slavery. He offers fresh insights into the sectional conflict that also accounts for the role of personal idiosyncrasy and interpersonal relationships in the coming of the Civil War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “America goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy”—John Quincy Adams’s famous words are often quoted to justify noninterference in other nations’ affairs. Yet when he spoke them, Adams was not advocating neutrality or passivity but rather outlining a national policy that balanced democratic idealism with a pragmatic understanding of the young republic’s capabilities and limitations. America’s rise from a confederation of revolutionary colonies to a world power is often treated as inevitable, but Charles N. Edel’s provocative biography of Adams argues that he served as the central architect of a grand strategy that shaped America’s rise. Adams’s particular combination of ideas and policies made him a critical link between the founding generation and the Civil War–era nation of Lincoln. Examining Adams’s service as senator, diplomat, secretary of state, president, and congressman, Edel’s study of this extraordinary figure reveals a brilliant but stubborn man who was both visionary prophet and hard-nosed politician. Adams’s ambitions on behalf of America’s interests, combined with a shrewd understanding of how to counter the threats arrayed against them, allowed him to craft a multitiered policy to insulate the nation from European quarrels, expand U.S. territory, harness natural resources, develop domestic infrastructure, education, and commerce, and transform the United States into a model of progress and liberty respected throughout the world. While Adams did not live to see all of his strategy fulfilled, his vision shaped the nation’s agenda for decades afterward and continues to resonate as America pursues its place in the twenty-first-century world.
