Excerpt from Address of the of the Central Committee: Appointed by a Convention of Both Branches of the Legislature Friendly to the Election of John Q. Adams as President and Richard Rush as Vice-President of the U. States, Held at the State-House in Boston, June 10, 1828, to Their Fellow-Citizens The votes of several other states are exceedingly doubtful, and fully as likely to be given to Mr. Adams, as to General Jackson. Among those we mention first Illinois and Missouri. In these States, members ofcongress have lately been elected sup posed to be friendly to General Jackson. But the best information we can obtain assures us, that this is the effect of local divisions, relative particu larly to the land system of those States. At the election of 1824, one of the three votes of Illinois was given to Mr. Adams, after that election was decided in the house of Representatives, on which occasion Mr. Scott the member from Missouri voted for Mr. Adams, the people of the state of Missouri elected Mr. Bates a zealous friend of the Administration, in the place of Mr. Scott. These facts show that the votes of these two States may be considered as doubtful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
