We mn.t be pardoncd FOR pressing this

the most important question o"n-
leeted nIth1he approaching election. We
AVE never thought Mr. Crawford lifted,
thrr by talents or hia education, for the
ialion Ia which he.is aspiring aud we
hall always think, that dangerous aud I'M
constitutional means have been resorted to
or securing his election. But If we could

hat construction OF the constitution VIII ch
,c approve, and that he is prepared To
upp0rt The federal judiciary III all its antho
ity, and Ia press upon the attention Of
he congress, with all the weight Of eKeCus F.,
