Excerpt from Address to the People of Delaware, on the Approaching Presidential Election: Prepared in Obedience to a Resolution of the Convention of the Friends of the National Administration Assembled at Dover, on the Fifteenth Day of July, 1828
The people Of the United States will never give their confu dence to a party, or favour the pietensions ofa Candidate, whose friends attempt to set up, for the rule of conduct, any 0 ther than that of the Constitution - who, taking advantage of the spirit of vigilance, which freemen ought to exercise over those in power, endeavour, for their own s1n1ster purposes, to alienate the fair confidence and regard which are due to faith ful public servants. The charge of the basest corruption has been laid before the people. And strictly examined, and found to, tally groundless. The wildest and most profligate extrava gance, in the expenditure of the public money, having been as gain and again imputed to their opponents, a young and nu trained member Of their party, led no doubt to believe in the truth ofthe charge, called for the institution of a strict enquiry into this matter. Those ivho had spread the charge before the country, endeavoured to frown him into silence. The accu sers shrunk from the maintenance of their own accusation, and the party accused demanded that the investigation should go on. It did go on, and it resulted, after the closest and sever, est scrutiny, in proving the strictest order and economy in the public expenditure.
