Inc drLsfocrdfs of the u. States would have

were to i'ok lam az The face, he would fall like Da-
son did before the ark. Bur not 50 with Mr.. Craw-
iorn-lhny might look him in the face and live!!
My ieiow citizens, let ms suppose ca se--whicI,,
trust IN God, will never take place; to wit, that
the political order of things were revcrsed-,hat
inc hepubcans were reduced tn remnant-that
the tederaiists had hair dozen candidates more
or less prominently before the people would not
Tue hephDicans exercise the elective franchise, and
Vote 'snch of tho Federal candidates as to then,
seemed nest calculated 10 ccaken the Federal par
~! Let common sense answer tile question will
mere state case III point, upon nv own KNOWLEDGE
ani which can he a,tested by more than one thou
sand parsons In a neighboting county. The Feder-
al majority few years back, was so nvcrwlein-
ing u.at uuher no circumstances did the Republic
cans offer candidate. Al length one of the Fed
eral candidates was a nailiiy-he had a local in
tercst' ami an extensive connection among the Fed
efai party; and the whole democratic strength was
gwen To- h'nn, for the same that the leading
tedaralis's will support Mr.. Crawford. The re-
suit was mat the nitiy, or cipher elected by
smH majority, 1T tive successive elections and the
federal ranks completely broken, that ,h, Re-
p"hi'cans have partly succeeded in that county
ever since.
Let me here call your attention to an important
TACT for the truth of which appeal to candid men
OIL all pirteS-one of the federalists will vote for
Mr. Adams, except those whose hearts have been
Iofched with the spirit Of Republiranism-such as
have reason to believe will be politically renew
cd by grace But how is it with Mr.. Crawford all
the .ederaiists who yet remain the children of
cram, who are unre@enerated, will support Mr..
Crawford. FOR the truth of this declaration, re-
fer To all candid men. If however. a few of Them
fc,rh
will vote for Mr.. Adams, they are as much ounosad
10 MN as ever the Jews were the founder of the
Christian Religion. Cast your eyes TO Mr. Pick
etins tile great man on Of tlnrishteousness an,
all ms party, who are trying pull dawn the nil
lars OF our republican institutions, and YOU will
tni my statements verified.
