We do not know who beside Rufus Kings

and there have happened stranger conjunc-

Holmes.
The New-Haven Herald, it should be men
toned, is the active and unwearied advocate of
Mr.. Calhoun. This gentleman was educated
In Connecticut, and has ardent friends in that
State. He is known, there, to possess a mind
of high character, aud to have discovered,
in early life, indications of future eminence.
improbable as his election now seems to be.
his friends urge his qualifications, with an
eamestness indicating an expectation that ne
will be a vigorous if not successful COM
petitor for the Presidency. And, perhaps,
they are not extravagant in calculating that
both Mr.. Crawford and Mr.. Adams may, in
the end, fail ofreceiving the support necessa-
divide with them the votes of the Electors
Certainly, it is to be hoped, Mr.. Crawford will
fail; and there is danger that indiscrect friends
may render certain the defeat Of Mr.. Adams.
In the interest of Mr.. Calhoun is also the
Washington Republican, paper recently es-
tablished at the seat Of government This,
as well as the New-Haven paper, carries on
vigorous warfare against Mr. Crawford
OF the spirit with which it is conducted, our
readers may judge from the following article,
copied also from the Ncw-Haven Herald.
A Crawford T1lck.-The great organ and
champion Of Mr.. Crawford, the Washington
Gazette, Commonly called the Treasury Gaz-
ette,) is booing and booing'' to Mr.. Clay, to
coax him into their concern. That paper says,
among other fine things, "Ttwould be extreme
ty desirable, under chief magistrate, elected
by republican suffrages, to bring Mr.. CLAY
into the administration ''-Ay! most OK
tremely desirable indeed! That is to say, If
Mr.. Clay will be kind and polite enough to
renounce the Presidency, and support Mr..
Crawford, he shall be his Secretary Of State

= Now such forlorn attempts at coaxng are

troops. They will begin to cry out, presently,
No cock OF mine-you crow too like

The Washington Republican, speaking of
this offer Of the Crawford Gazette, says -
In relation to Mr.. Clay, it endeavours to
drive an open bargain offering him place
in the administration, il he will relinquish his
claims to the Presidency The mode of can
vassng, which the partizans of Mr.. Crawford
have adopted, is calculated to excite deep
alarm 10 the bosoms of The friends Of liberty.n
We think it is calculated to excite still
deeper "'alarm in the bosoms of the friends
OF" Crawford. Nevertheless, we hope that
the Gazette will, from time to time. announce
the progress of this profered alliance. PRAY.
would they not look little chop-fallen, if
this extremely desirable" ally should prove
the most determined belligerent against
them?''
Hereafter we may invite our readers to
look again upon the field of action. They
have an interest in the result of the contest.
Some of the champions may fall before its
termination, and others may present them
selves; nor is it by any means yet certain
which Of them will, to the end, deserve their
wishes for success.

attending his duties as Commissioner under
