Mr.. Crawford is in possession of the treasury:
and, by means, at least of the regular and le-
gal patronage of that department, il not by 9th
er and indirect applications Of its power, he now
seeks to stile and suppress the public voice; and
to obtain the Presidency and the command of
the army against the public will
The occasion Is momeutous and impressive.
The question which we now decide must affect
our own liberties, and those of our posterity
Are those liberties, and the civil institutions bv
which we fondly hope we have secured them,
still valuable in our cstimation'
IL they 50, let us check the first approach
es of corruption. Let us dismiss from our con-
iidcncc the men who have essayed to undermine
that virtue, which is the basis Of our government
and ConsiGn them to the obscuritv and insrnifi-
canoe which they deserve. Let us, iii fine, cal,to
the chief magistracy of our republic, a man
whose purity of motive and devotion TO the good
of his country have been tested by Il life of la

DAMS is the name most frequently associated
with the carly assertion of our liberties, & their
triumph and conservation by our national INDIE
PENDENcE aud our CONSTITUTION ADAMS is
the name in which we can most safely tr,.st, if
we wish our liberties and constitution to descend

flour friends at a distance were to ju igc Of
Mr. Adams support in this state, By the positive,
yet too frequently unfounded assertions of those
editors VINO support other candidates for the
presidency, they would conclude nc mad no
claims to the vote ofOhio. Ii i; our consolation
however, To know, That in common with all re-
tiecting men, they place but little reliance on
the co'orcd statements of partisan writers: and
entirely disregard the false anI un@enerous re
marks of the unprinciplei an envous aspirants
for popular favor As for ourselves we shall

poices may be heard in the city as well as in
the wilderness; meetings may be published to
have been held in taverns, and at militia mus
ters: the engines OF fraud, corruption, aud in
triguc, may be put in full operation; the unmean-

but hrn!v on; and, governed by the same spirit
OF union that animated the followers of Leoni-
das they will defend to a man the principles for
which they are contenling.
From all parts of the Union, we receive the
most cheering information. Intelligent gentle
men, IN different sections of this state continue
to assure us, that our electoral college will sun
port John Quincy Adams: ana while most hear
tiiy uniting in that belief we call upon our op-
ponents toallov us the credit Of candor at least;
ana hereafter, when they are pretending 10 in
torn and eniighten the public, not to lead them
into an error, that by an adherence to truth,
| they would assuredly prevent.
