by you To the President, and read by the

such Latter war read ever to him. Having

cratic Press tin Information ! had receiv-

no more Of this letter. Subsequent events,
however, shew nat was mistaken. Mr..
Lowrie, in his p5blcation, says, speaking
of the letter, w y does Mr.. Hay adopt the
expressions used n thu newspapers, rather
than in my letter, viz. two fedegali.ts and
two democrats ?" ey this, he evidently
intended to convey he opinion that he, Mr..
Lewrie, had not made use of the expression

CATTLE SHOW. &c.

The approaching Anniversary of the Agri-
cultural Society of this County, from present
appearances, bids fair to maintain the reputa-
tion it has held for two years past, of being
the best CATTLE SHOW in the Union. The
fears which had been entertained by some,
that the interest manifested in these Exhibi-
tions would pass away with their novelty, ap-
pears not very likely to be realized. On the
other hand, we may reasonably infer that ey.
cry succeeding year will add to their interest
and to their value. The spirit of improve
ment is abroad, and these exhibitions afford
an admirable field for the display of it. The
limits of this Society (being bounded by the
County, are such as to afford to every one
the facilities for attending, and yet so extern.
sive that the number of competitors is suff-
GENTLY great to give it an imposing effect.
What then, can be more gratifying to the far
mers than thus to assemble once year after
the labours of the season are nearly over,
and TO exhibit to each other the results of
their experiments, the fruits of the increase
of their Aocksan their herds, and the success
with which Providence has crowned their eff
forts in the cultivation of the earth.
We have reason TO believe that the mum.
Der of spectators from abroad will be large
this year. We would therefore invite all to
add to the interest of the Exhibition who
have the means, and thereby to show that
it is not location alone that entities this Coun-
ty to the appellation of the HEART or THE
COMMONWEALTH.

REASONS
OOhy ne cannot support Vim. II. Craw
ford for the Presidency.

cUhy ne cannot support VIM. II. Crau-
ford for the Presidency.
We cannot support VIM. H. Crawford for
the Presidency of the United States, for the
following reasons -
LIST. Because it would tend to confirm and
perpetuate the usurpation of the Caucus who
would dictate to the people whom they shall
elect; caucus composed of individuals
whom the Constitution has wisely disqualified
from holding the Office of electors, that. in
the event of the election coming into the
House, they may act independently, and be
untrammelled by any former act in reference
to the election.
Cd. Because it would tend to confirm the
Richmond party in their attempts to confne
the Presidency to Virginians, although other
States may offer more worthy and better quail
fed candidates.
Sd. Because by so doing We should become
identified with that party, who have shown
an utter disregard to the rights of the people,
any farther than they may be made subservi-
ent to their own views; who have attempted
to defTaud the people ofNew- York and Geor-
gia Of their vote on the Presidential question,
and to give it in opposition to their wishes
and who have shown a disposition to foist
their own Candidate into the Presidency,
against the will of the people, and by the
most dishonest and disreputable means.
4th. Because, by SO doing, we should be-
come participators in that guilt, against which
the laws of the land have denounced the most
ignominious punishment, but which the inef.
6cient administration of the law has suffered
to go UNPUBLISHED.
5th. Because the support of any cause,
which renders the justification or palliatiou of
guilt necessary, begets callousness of heart
and insensibility to the force of moral oblga-
tons, and leads directly to the commission of
wickedness and immortality, as is fully exem.
plifed by the confirmed and habitual mendaci.
ty of the caucus prints.
9th. We cannot support VIM. II. Craw-
ford, because his competitor, John Quincy
Adams, is his inferior in none of the qualifca-
tons necessary for wise and just admins
tration of the government, and, in point Of
talent, requirements, experience, public SER
vices, firmness and moral character, is far his
superiour.
9TH. We cannot support him, because he
and his adherents are known to be in opposi-
ton to the present wise and prudent admins
tration of the government, which has elected
more decided marks of the public approba-
ton than any other administration, since the
days OF Washington, and because, if he is
elected, the present policy would be exchang-
ed for one of doubtful and untried expeden
cy.
