• CONFIDENTIAL ALS HENRY CLAY TO
  CONFIDENTIAL ALS HENRY CLAY TO DANIEL WEBSTER RE: ELECTION OF 1824, THROWING THE PRESIDENCY TO JOHN QUINCY ADAMS OVER ANDREW JACKSON A letter written two weeks before the election from "The Great Compromiser" regarding the Presidency, and funding of the successful attempt to block Jackson from the seat of power in 1824. Sent to Daniel Webster on behalf of John Quincy Adams, who would controversially become President despite Jackson's greater popular and electoral college vote, delaying his entrance to the White House until 1829. Webster, Clay, and Adams all were great intellects who felt that Jackson, the "Representative of the Common Man" was unfit for the Presidency, stemming from his un-authorized attacks into Florida in 1818, surprising the power of Congress and decimating the native population. When Adams, a Whig, became President (Webster, who was Speaker of the House 'threw' the election), he named Clay (who had served as Secretary of State under Monroe) as Secretary of State, in what the Democrats called the "Corrupt Bargain". Adams was opposed to Slavery, Tariffs and promoted leniency for the Indians, all idealistic causes destined to fail and turn the electorate against him. (Confidential), Washington, 6 Oct, 1824. My Dear Sir, I found on my arrival here on the third your favor of the 22d (vers?) with contents which I immediately expedited to the several points where I believed they would most beneficially be employed. They will reach these destinations in due season. Be pleased to say to Mr. Welch that I rec'd his letter. If the fund of which he speaks could be remitted to Mr. J.A. (John Quincy Adams) I would advise its commission, with due caution, where it might be most properly and usefully employed. I rec'd also your favor of the first. The decision of the pending contest is now so near at hand that speculation about it will soon be superseded by the fact. I concur with you in the thinking that it depends mainly on N. York and Kentucky. I believe we shall prevail in the latter state, although on one or two points the results of the late election was not quite as favorable as when I communicated it to you. And there is enough of hope and probability of general success to animate us in the highest exertions. Maryland and Delaware will this week let us know what we may count on from them. I am rejoiced that the land is all dry in N. England. Our friends there may rely on the most persevering activity in the West, which I think will give Mr. Adams 40 and perhaps 43 votes. In all and every want, I am cordially your friend, HC. PS. My health is greatly improved, HC Mr. Webster" ALS framed together with print portraits of Clay, Webster and Adams, the last from this campaign. 21 1/4" x 24 1/2", edge toned, not examined out of frame.
