Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Principles and Acts of Mr. Adams' Administration: Vindicated Against the Aspersions Contained in the Address of the Jackson Convention, Assembled at Concord, on the 11th and 12th of June, 1828
Mr. Adams also opposed the bill for taxing the people of Louisiana, on the very principles of the revolution. He could not be made to think that a foreign people, who had just been trans ferred, without their consent, to a new country, could rightfully be taxed until by representation they had a voice in the administration of the government. In these votes Mr. Adams displayed both the wisdom of a statesman, and the principles of a republican for it is a republican maxim, that taxation and representation go together.
