New Hampshire Statesman And Concord Register

We have received for publication a letter from a distinguished clergyman of the Baptist communion, addressed to a brother clergyman of the same communion, who was a member of the Jackson Convention holden in this town in January last. Its length and the press of other matter prevent its publication this week. The writer calls on his clerical brother for his reasons in voting for sundry resolutions which were adopted at that Convention; particularly the resolution in which "it is virtually stated that the election of General Jackson over Mr. Adams was a triumph of good principles over bad ones"; and the resolution accusing Mr. Adams of "encroaching on State rights and usurping power in all things," &c. The writer acknowledges his entire ignorance of any instance or act of encroachment or usurpation on the part of President Adams, but presumes that his brother is well informed in these particulars, otherwise he would not prostitute the sanctity of his office to purposes of abuse and slander. In reference to the right of expending money in certain cases by the General Government, he asks—"If Congress has not a right to protect domestic industry, and make appropriations for internal improvements, what right has it to tax New Hampshire to drive the poor Cherokees into the land of Nod, beyond the Mississippi?" It would be more difficult to answer this question satisfactorily, than another proposed by the same writer—"Had a different delegation from this State been in Congress last winter, would the poor Indians have been disturbed?" To this last question there can be no mistake in answering—No.
