Full Text
Of the several respectable characters in nomination for vice-president, circumstances seem most to concur in favor of John Adams, Esq. While the conciliating talents of Governor Hancock, and the attachments to him that prevail in Massachusetts, render him necessary to the peace of New-England. Mr. Adams is perfectly at leisure to fill a seat, for which nature, education, and the experience of several years and various courts in Europe, have eminently and peculiarly qualified him.
