Notes:

Speech of Wendell Phillips on the Labor Movement and two letters from him, one about immigration, one on his favoring of Grant for president. In the latter he writes "As for Adams [CFA] ... if any party allows him to lead it, he will lead it to its grave, as all the Adamses have always done. Old John Adams's vanity, bigotry and hate of Hamilton put the federal party into its tomb. John Quincy Adams's administration was the deathblow of the whig party, then called republican. The light which gilds the Adamses is that of sunset. They insure defeat ... The breath of an Adams's fame has the chill of the charnel house in it."
[CFA]
