s'siencies of gentlemen who will cry down a

Is ooe OF the statements Of ours, on which Mr..
N. Is pleased 10 harp. But waving the question
OF caucus, we stated that Mt. Craw ford had
the strongest pretensiOns, on the ground of his

most OF it-6rst clearing his own skirts from
the charges of nconsistency-next from the
charge OF trying to palm upon his readers the
phantom of Richmond Junto of which he

aching the part which every independent
citizen ought to exercise, of taking his ground
maniully, and saying which of the candidates

| La Fayette is to enter Baltimore on the IA,
and Is expected at Washington on the i2th.-
In his reply to the deputation of Chester. &c.
| he speaks ofconaing through Richmond on his
way to York. But MIR. J. Lyons, who has
gone on to Philadelphia on the part of the
COMMITTEES of York, 10 arrange with him the
time and manner of his entering Virginia, may
probably prevail on him To visit York be fore
he comes TO this city. The Alexandria Ga.
