interest of Mr.. Crawford; aut p:ovc to YOU that
they make use Of the very to favor a. cleo
ton of MIR. Crawford, that they denounce as mis-
citecons, na the part of the friends of Mr. Adams
II the Edilo of papars, other parsons, friendly
to the election of Mr. Crawford, support him. either
from the Circumstance of his aviug been put in
training by Utta0riy of the Washington JocSies
or from impression THAT hs is Tin. Geefesk cstrssr

upon the presidential tnj. Why do th.y say thar
it is honorable for Mr.. Crawford To b.. mounted

her candidate to receive similar all: when in point
of fact there is NJ federal courser UPON the turf
The truth IL, that the friends Of Mr. Crawford who
appear 70 DC acquainted with the book of Lament
atoms, constantly impioring the fA,eralists 10

given by tie legislature Of pygiuia in Error of Mr.
Crd,rford; and it was but ren sonable to suppose
that the f.ienhs of Mr.. Crawford would have adj
