16pp. Stitched, scattered foxing, light wear. Good+. Dated and signed in type at the end, "February 27, 1829," by "An Old Citizen of New-York." The 'Old Citizen' defends President John Quincy Adams several days before power passed to his successor and bitter rival, Andrew Jackson. Harrison Gray Otis, William Sullivan, Henry Cabot, and nine other Massachusetts Federalists recently attacked President Adams for a pamphlet Adams had written "more than twenty years ago," criticizing New England Federalists for excessive attachment to England, their desire to secure "a dissolution of the Union," and for opposing the acquisition of Louisiana. Calling Otis et al "Monarchists in the East", 'Old Citizen' excoriates them for their views on Louisiana, the 1808 Embargo, and the War of 1812. "The present attack on J.Q.

Their absurd preference "(to suit present purposes)" for "supreme power in the States"-- which he calls "the mania of state sovereignty"-- is disgraceful. Cronin & Wise [J.Q. Adams] 336. Sabin 98954. AI 41365 [8].…

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
