About This Item

Philadelphia: Published by Thomas Bradford, Printer Book-Seller & Stationer, No. 8, South Front-Street, 1796. 44pp. 8vo. Pamphlet. Neatly removed; foxing to initial leaves; Very Good.

Philadelphia printing, also printed in Boston and New York, and first printed in Philadelphia in 1795. "The unfavorable terms of the Jay Treaty, leaked prior to its ratification by the Senate, created a public furor. After the South Carolina legislature condemned it. Harper, a congressman from that state, explained in this address to his constituents why he approved of the treaty. He defended Jay's character and conduct, which had been maligned, and argued that Jay's appointment as Minister Plenipotentiary, even though he was Chief Justice, was constitutional. Although he agreed that the treaty did not embody all U.S. demands, he held it an aPpropriate diplomatic compromise and a measure for peace. "-Sheidley.
