a,Tis aone-Ths Long agony Is over. -
The farce Of the nomination Of Dir CraW-
ford. was this evening enacted, agreeable to
previous public advertisements, before a large
and highly respectable audience.
Sixtr-sir persons out Of two hundred and
sixtv one attended tile Caucus and sNts-
have recommended William H Crawford,
or Georgia, and fly seven Albert Gaiiatn
Of Pennsylvania as suitable candidates for
President and Vice President Of the United

Thus, then, has tie whole Of Mr. Craw-
ford's strength been arrayed, his whole num-
Der u friends IN Congress counted and &C.

publican members Of congress proved abor-
tive

publican party, a. expressed by their Repre-
seniatives lit has been held for tie sole pur-
pose Of nominating persons obnoxious TO that

States submit TO this dictation win they
listen 10 tie proclamation 70 be issued by this
fraction which is severed, for ever, by their
opposition, from the Democratic family
They will not they will take their stand o.
the old Republican ground, s. that the majority
shall goVern," and they viii treat with con
tempt every effort 70 foiSt any man upon them
against their will
The minority have now taken their stand,

" will also take their stand, and win support
their candidate. 1t viii be struggle be-
tween faction aaa principle question is
