Printed Document, The Virginia Address, anti-Jackson convention address to the people of Virginia, 1828. 8 pp. Two former presidents-James Madison and James Monroe-were selected to serve as electors for John Quincy Adams in Virginia in a desperate attempt to prevent the election of Andrew Jackson. Both Madison and Monroe declined to serve, preferring electoral neutrality, and Jackson went on to win in Virginia by a landslide. Excerpts"A Convention of Delegates, appointed by Public Meetings in the several Counties of the Commonwealth of Virginia, for the purpose of adopting measures to prevent the election of General Jackson to the Presidency, assembled, to the number of 220, in the Capitol, in the city of Richmond, on Tuesday the 8th of January. The Convention, being organized, proceeded to the discharge of the interesting duty for which it had assembled, and continued to sit, from day to day, deliberating on, and maturing, the requisite measures, until Saturday, the 12th, when the Committee appointed to prepare an Address, (comprising several of the ablest and most eminent men in the State,) reported the following Address and Resolutions, which, have been read through, were unanimously adopted." (p1)"We feared the most pernicious consequences from the election of General Jackson, and we have come to consult about the means of averting this calamity from our country. We believe that the only means of effecting this great object is the re-election of the present Chief Magistrate, and have formed an Electoral Ticket for that purpose, which we earnestly recommend to the support of the People of Virginia."We know that many of you strongly disapprove some of the leading measures of the present Administration,-have not confidence in it, and would be exceedingly unwilling to sanction the principles of construction applied by the present Chief Magistrate to the Constitution of the United States. But we do not perceive, in these circumstances, any sufficient reason for withholding your support from the ticket we have recommended." (p1)"We are left to the alternative of choosing between Jackson and Adams; and however we may differ in opinion as to the merits of the latter, we heartily concur in giving him decided preference over his competitor." (p1)"The opinions of Mr. Adams, and his recommendations to Congress, in relation to internal improvement, are unpopular in Virginia, and have been urged against him with much earnestness, and perhaps with some effect, even though it cannot, with any color of reason, be contended, that his competitor, Gen. Jackson, is not exposed to precisely the same objection." (p4)"while we yield our confidence to the present Chief Magistrate in very different degrees, we are unanimous and unhesitating in the opinion that Andrew Jackson is altogether unfit for the Presidency, and that his election would be eminently dangerous.we must, in the most solemn manner, protest against a claim to civil rule, founded exclusively upon military renown." (p4)"We appeal to the People of Virginia, to say what there is in the present party politics, so alluring on the part of the Opposition, so frightful on the part of the Administration, as to seduce them to the fraternal embrace, or drive them under the protection, of such a man as Andrew Jackson?" (p7)"1. Resolved, That JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, of Massachusetts, be recommended to the People of the United States, as a fit person to be supported for the Office of President." (p7)"8. Resolved, That at least thirty thousand copies of the proceedings and address of this Convention be printed and circulated, under the direction of the Central Committee, through the several counties and corporations of the Commonwealth." (p8)Historical BackgroundThe election of 1828 was largely a rematch of the 1824 presidential election with incumbent President John Quincy Adams of the National Republican Party again facing Andrew Jackson of the Democratic.
