~ -mo;Nes, with the adyau-
tsse Of more years and Il graver character
espoussd and advocated the same cause is
, now to be hailed as the only uniform republi-
can, the exclusive republican Of the good
old Jefferson school and even our rcvered
and excellent Monroe is called upon To ,ruckle
To his superior pretensions and 10 receive " it'll
passive submission, the scourge which the
partizans oil this man, 50 wantouiy, so cruelty,
so impiously brandish over his venerable head.
The paper which publishes these wicked at.
tacks "n the President, is the Washington City
Gazette. The editor hat paper is patrouzed,
by the advertising, business OF the Treasury
Department; the principal writers of these
lihes, It report speak true, are, twA confjdrn.
iial clerks III the Treasury Department Mr..
Crawford knows that they are unjust asper-
sions on the President /; that they arr, oblaions
presented 10 himself, written and published Ia
gain his favor by contributing To advance him
10 the chair oi state. What man of fine feel
nSs and correct morality would accept of
such assistance what generoHs, ur grateful,
or dignitrd man aspiring Ia such AN Office,
would not spurn with Indignation both the
offering and the idolaier? MIR. Crawl rd has
hut To RAISE finger la stop this torrent of
abuse against his patron, his benefactor his
friend Yet not finger will he raise even fur
So holy Il purpose. On the Contrary he con
the writers: What other conclusions can be
drawn from these facts than that he is PLEASED
with the scandal? And if so, IS he the man
whom the generous and high minded state of
Virginia will select their candidate for such
an oSice as that of President of the United
States +? Is such character composed of the
proper elements for their taste leave this
subject for the present, to their considerations
only adding that God is just, and into the pit
which he hath digged for another, trust he
will fall himself

TIE n. Y. Patriot (which has recently given
so fine specimen of lis impariialiiy land in
tegrity, by publishing the Augusta Address,
ictfhou the satisfactory Statements as TO Mr..
Crawiord's Republican principles has also
given us q sample of its intelligence by SAYING
1t is well known That the strongest Indication
Mr.. Jefferson has given in favor of any candi.

! Clay, in letter To the Lieut.. Governor of
Kentucky, last winter on the subject of Edu-
cation "-" The following letter (adds the
Patriot) ii II bears any, may hear the same

prod,Eious prrspicacty, she sees that il is
MIR. Jefterson's letter from the Cherry Valley
Gazette which the "Pairiot" refers tu-n let
ter, which, by the bye, some of our " Patriot"
Zealots would stignaiize, In their fatourite
| slang, as Radical, if they burst denounce r
Jeif"rson.-But as the "Patriot'' is so fond of
sxpounding and guessing at the sentiments of
other great men, will he be good enough to tell
us, If he knows them, what are his own wishes
IN this subject. Is Colonel Gardiner for The
s. teGr cnndidnfe," or is he not? Or does he
realize the old maxim of the Grecian Sage,
that the most difficult of all things is 10 kno,c

| The Lexington (K.) Monitor states, that in
Tennessee candidate is placed in compe,i-
ton with Gen. Jackson--but, that should his
election he deemed impracticablr, great diff

:" In some parts MIR. Clay would be decided
~ preferred; in others Mr.. Adams might be
the strongest; and in all parts some of the
popular and weighty men are Jealous support

! Is the Editor of the Rockingham Gazette
correct, when he ascrihps that exquisite piece
of hImour. " the Political Horse Race" to ga
young Lawyer whose character is well known
TO his Friends" &c?
