Pp. 80. 1 vols. 8vo. The previous October the National Intelligencer had contained a statement made by the President denouncing "certain citizens of Massachusetts as having been engaged in a design to produce a dissolution of the Union, and the establishment of a separate Confederation. As no individual was named in that communication, a few citizens of Boston and its vicinity, who supposed that they or their friends might be considered by the public, if not intended by Mr. Adams, to be implicated as parties to the alleged conspiracy, thought proper to address to him...asking for such a specification of the charge and of the evidence" To this they received a reply which refused to provide the information. The Massachusetts party consisted of H. G. Otis, Israel Thorndike, T. H. Perkins, William Prescott, Daniel Sargent, John Lowell, William Sullivan, Charles Jackson, Warren Dutton, Benjamin Pickman, Henry Cabot and C. C. Parsons.
