LAFAYETTE is In AMERICA
1t needs not the recital of the splendid
exhibition witnessed on the arrival of this
hero and patriot in New-York, to rouse
the liveliesI emotions of Joy and thanks

The gorgeous display of the aquatic
convoy combining the mighty represen-
tatlve OF our warlke navy with the swift
messengers OF peace and plcnty--shews
not the vivid cooring with which his SER
vices are painted on our memories. The
long columns of pumed warriors, dis
playing to receive and closing to en-
brace him, but family intimaies how
widely our arms are extended and bow
Joyfdlly they clasp him to our bosoms.
The peal OF muskelry--tae roar OF artl-
le'y, but feebIy whisper our gratitude
our veneration--our love for him who
so nobly left the Establishments of wealth,
OF friends and home, to unite with our
Washington, in the glorious cause OF
Freedom.
1t was for US he ought--unconected
save by the mutual love OF Libert9-he

native heroes in achieving our Indepen-

No! it needs not to be told how peal

acclamalions--and all tina, wealth AMI
taste and beauty could perform, was
done--to give him welcome. To rouse
every latent emotion-to awaken ever,

The letter Of Mr.. Edwards to the Hon.
James Noble, of Indiana, which we CO.
ply from the Columbian Observer, will be
read with interest. Alter perusiog this
article, we believe the reader will agree
with US, that at least one of Mr.. Craw-
lords Witnesses is in very asykward
fredicament." II is pity, BY the way,
that Senator of the United States
should have volunteered 10 act so impor-
tant a part, without having a better
knowledge Of the subject. 1t may be,
that Mr. Noble has played bis part well
enough but it IS certainly very evident,
that the author of his deposition, was
rather needless, not only in regard to
dates, but in relation to facts.

singular acknowledgements meet.
ihis IS a trulsm, sirlkingly verified by
the progress Of The Presidential ques-
ton. The Salem Gazette one of the or
gaus of the U ira Federal party, o! Mas.
sachusetts, has come Out for Mr.. Craw-
ford as President. The New. York
Evening Post has avowed its preference
Tor the same candidate. The Post, the
organ Of the Ultra Federalists of New
York, and the National Advocate, the
engine OF the radical party in the same
state, are in alllauce, consequently, on
the same question now SO vehemently
agltated throughout the Union. The
Post has openly asserted that it advo-
Gated the Electoral Law, not as being
connected with any moral principle, but
as probable means TO attain desirable
end. What is this but full equivalent
to the principle that "ali is fair in poll.

One Of the objections to Mr.. Craw-
ford Tor the Presidency, (and that we
consider very serious one) is the par
~ which support him. 1t is composed
of such men as Pickering and Otis, and
Coleman, and hundreds of other hot
headed and violent politicians, which
might easily be mentioned.-Men who
have always made politics their business
and living, and who, to accomplish their
object, are ever ready to seize upon
every art or cunning which a crafty
imagination can invent. While among
the class Of steady industrious citizens,
who have no sinister motives to attain,
and who let politics rest until the day
they go to the hoils to exercise theit
right Of franchise for the good OF their
country, not ono in thousand can be
found In his favor. BAH. PAT.
