WARREN. FOR THI o* TtTE'VKtT ID sTatSs" No. X. To the EleSors of the Prejident of the United States. RespeCtable fellow citizens, CREDIT lias been very erroneotifly given to Mr. Adams, as agreeing with the Prcfident, and the executive officers, and.indeed with the govern ment in upon the fubjeft of all the rj;ea fures which have been purftted under the federal con-- f flitution. It is a well known faff, however, that Mr. Adams has never been considered or treated as an executive officer The office of Vice-Prejident has been kept in a perfefily dormant (fate, in an ex icutive lenfe. Mr. Adams has not at all participa ted or co-operated in the executive councils or bufi uefs of the United States. He has been always considered and treated,only as the President of the Senate; that is, as the speaker, or chainjian, of that branch ef the legislature. Hence, he has not resided at the feat of government, except during the feflion of congress. It is also true, and it it of very grfat importance, that he is ftrengly opposed to the great operations of the financial system of our country, though adopted by congress, approved - by the President, and confirmed by repeated legis lative and executive ads. We mean here explicit ly to affirm, without fear of contradidfion, that Mr., Adams greatly disapproves of the funding and banking svflems, and that he does not hesitate to speak of them as matters that hare and will produce extreme and extensive jlls»l Phocion will net deny this: and every man must perceive what use he would mike of the fame fct&e againll Mr. Jefferfon, could he bring such forward. • He has attempted, to eliminate Mr. Jrfterfon, on the score of our fi nances, by arguing from particular allegations con cerning the opinion of forae, who are rep.resented as nnder his influence. But here are no foch wire. < drawing, of Mr. Adams's opinions. That gen tleman will never hesitate to admit, that he has of. 1 ten spoken of the funding system as certainly to bring upon this country evils the mofl extreme— \ '1 here u not a citizen of tyual cOnjderatioh in the , Untied Staus, whose fenttments, upon the funds and the banks, ate more opposed to the opinions of every person, who ever has been, or now is, an of. ficer of the trealury depamnent.
