About which the caucustes were so aHecedy indifferent
and which they pretend consider ridiculous and absurd

who had gone to Mr. Crawford, &c. Well, gentle
men, your newborn curiosity about this book may be ill.,
dugedthe book has been at the Waterman Office for al
fortnight past, where may be by any and every per-
son who desires it. You will find, that single person
who had signed for either Of the other candidates, went
afterwards to Mr. Crawford There erasare
made early in the business by who had signed for Mr.
Adams for the purpose it understood of signing forl
Mr.. Clinton in column should be assigned to him. as
lit said there would be- But there never was any ds
position desert TO the standard. Mr. Crawford
received nine and venture to say what we have
frequently said before that if every voter in the County of
Newcastle had subscribed in this book he would not have
had twenty signatures. He has no hoid upon te
people of this State and had it not been for the interest
ed exerons of half dozen in Wilmington and Newcastle,
his name would scarcely have been mentioned in Della

cuses ntriguers and political adventures the people
know him not.
10 return to the 6ook which has become important TO
these gentry it left two months at VOLTS hotel one
month beyond the time directed by the resolution of the
meeting which the adopted. On the hrst
inst it removed by member of the committee, to
whose custody it committed, and by whom had been
procured. 1t not thought necessary to mention THIS
because supposed the question, to the popularity
Of the candidate in the county, was SO well settled
that it would longer be disputed, and we felt no dlspo

means of Illustrating the propensity OF the Crawford men
to trick and cunning All the uproar they are now making
is trick, intended to persuade people at distance
that there has been change here in public opinion III ia
vor of MIR Crawford. Let the trick pass however, they
are laborng in their vocation. We invite the public to
come and look at the book They will find the sgners to
be composed of the respectable, independent, and
valuable portion of the communy-men OF sober and re-
hectng minds and who have nothing to desire or seek for
at the hands of any President.
We find great outcry raised against the book by one OF
the advocates in the Gazette" One of the People
who beaubs Mr. Crawford in such style, that you be-
eve him, you must suppose, thai Washington and Frank
lin fools to hm,he represents the book as foresa
ing public opinion, UNCONSTITUTIONAL &c. to all which we
rcp, that this book shcws that Mr. Crawford here as
he every where else the candidate of the people, but
and its satellites, whose only hopes OF success
depend upon cheating the peopand hence those groans
If Mr.. Crawfords friends not afraid OF submitting
his claims the people, and they did not know that he
lis altogether without any weight with them, they would
he as ready his popularity, by subscription book, as
they afraid of it. We know, that they have nc
scrupIes the means they empoy-that there is nc
dry work they willing stoop to,nohing TOO high
handed arbitrary andunprinciped for them tor attempt
The rogues every where afraid to rusthe people, ano
the only circumstance that props their desperate cause
the hope they have that the people of New York vii
be cheated of their rights, and deprived OF their votes
, the ensuing election.
