"An attempt to vindicate General Jackson from the obloquy which followed his entrance upon the territory of a neutral power, seizing and, without color of law, hanging some of its subjects" [Sabin]. Howes says the pamphlet "defends Jackson's Florida invasion and extols his desire to expand national territory to Oregon."
The author attacks Henry Clay-- Jackson's rival, along with John Quincy Adams, in the 1824 presidential election-- for his strong support of federal sponsorship of internal improvements. The pamphlet also recounts the history of the adoption of the Constitution.
