It has been denied and again, that Mr.. Craw
ford the intriguing character he has been represened
but can there be better proof OF than the late conduct
of the Legislature Of New York. where II Senators and
Representatives have controlled the voice of III Repre-
sciavcs and II Senators, who, faithful to their trust
passed bill to leave the choice Of Electors OF President
and Vice President to the people This pretty much
par with The Caucus at Washington where Senator
Van buren,, of New York, the mouthpece, who it is
well known is perfect cats paw IN the hands OF Mr..
Crawford behind the curtain, and who. to help his friends
Of the Senate OF New York over the se, opposed the
motion for the indefinite pos'ponemen of the several plans
for the amendment of the constitution in the Senate OF the
United Safes, knowing full well that MIR. Crawfords
chance gone if the voice OF the people had any thing
to do with his election in the State of New York After this
piece of mpuient mockery and daring uspation of the
rights OF the people by Mr.. Crawfords friends, he must
stand recorded, not only artll intriguing politician
but who would put his feet on the necks ofc peo-
pie if he had it in his power and there are likewise cir
cmstances of injustice and high hanled tyranny which
he has supported in the Custom House here, which will in
due time be laid before the public, and which will shew
that to promote his views on the Presidency he has
lent himself 10 shameful acts of oppression.
The public voice OF both edcrasts and democrats here,
it is believed, with the exception Of the printer OF the
Delaware Gazette and the two families to whom he has
been completely subservlent, as to be scd their prn
ter instead OF that of the fedcraists unani
Both parties have sung the requiem of MIR. Craw-
torl lie will neither be Req ~ PRESENT. Notwithstanding the
Washington Caucus, and the voice OF the people Will f'is
,rae all his hopesi 1uro. His ambitious projects have
vanished into thin air. and clouds of darkness, shadows
rest upon him. So much the better May this fate al
cd path and this occasion it particularly desirable,
because brghtens the prospects, and opens the path to
better
Notwithstanding John Quincy Adams cannot boast the
laurel crown OF fortunate soldier, he do far better
