Extract Of ,etler from a distinguished Repus-
| licdn IN Connecticut, 10 one OF his friends IN
Washington, ,,ko attended III. Cauexs on the
i4h february.
| Whatever may be the result Of the cleo
ton, or If the divisions that exist on the sub
jeci, those who attended the. meeting will
have done all in their power to produce con-
cord, and, you may rely on it, will receive the
| thanks and support OF the great body of decid-
ed Arm Republicans in this state.
You have done your duty faithfully, and
| believe that the recommendation will sue
ceed-nor am disposed to allow much weight
to the extreme violence with which the meet
| ing Is spoken Of by those who exerted them
selves to prevent il.
| regret, very much, that all the gentlemen
from this state did not attend. Uniun is the
FIRST and greatest object in the present state Of
affairs. A man should sacrifice his personal
predictions, when the public pssce and hay-
mony require the sacrifice. That Mr.. Craw-
the Republicans, than any other one, is, ] think,
undoubtedly true and think, also, that hr
has probably more than all the Others united"

the Capitol-more for your letter-and, more
than all, for your frnness and fidelity in AZ
tending the Caucus. Is i, possible tina, a
majority ofour friends in Congress should go
far misjudge, as TO the necessity ola meeting,
ut this lime, for The important purpose of
concentrating public opinion in the choice of
the two first officers ofthe nation ? IL is prin-
ciple contend for-not men," MAT. Int.
lisa pleasing fact we can state, that there
is not, at this moment, single seaworihy ves-
sci in port, unemployed and if double the
number of vessels which arrived yesterday,
were to come in daily, for ten days. there
would probably still he employment for the
whole. New YoRK is goIng for the whole,
and If Congress let us alone, the government
will he supplied with the means of supporting
all its establishments by the commerce OF this
place. II would he the height Of madness to
tariff us out OF existence ~. Y Gar.
