ADAMS, John Quincy President's Message. National Intelligencer Extra . Washington: [Gales & Seaton], Tuesday 2 December 1828. Washington: [Gales & Seaton] 1828. Folio broadside (21 5/8 x 15½ in), printed in five columns, bold heading at top in wood-type. Fine condition, edges of the sheet preserved. The complete text of J.Q. Adams's last, lame-duck message to Congress (State of the Union Address), almost certainly its first newspaper printing by the quasi-official Washington printers. The speech was given after an extremely acrimonious, bitter presidential campaign. News of Adams's defeat by General Andrew Jackson was not confirmed until December 3, the day after the present address. The outgoing President reviews in detail foreign affairs, especially relations with France, disputes with Great Britain over boundaries and the revolutions in Latin America, where "the colonial system, by which this whole hemisphere was bound, has fallen into ruins. Totally abolished by revolutions, converting colonies into independent nations." Revenue, customs and financial matters receive considerable attention, especially recently enacted tariffs, which, he asserts were not intended to favor one state or region over another. In that context, he acknowledges some resistance to tariffs by certain states, and considers the Constitutional balance of power between states and the Federal government. He goes on to discuss the state of the military, the establishment of the new military academy at West Point, the need for a new national census, and other issues.
