The best way TO answer the following en-
qulries is To lay the Contamination at once be-
fore the public. We have taken the liberty of
suppressingDnly one passage, WIKI that relating TO
the source, from which the letter to Eredrricks
burg prScrpded. The said letter contains the
strangest misconceptions. All its aIIega ions
are Incorrect. 1t is not true, that the Central
Committee have abandoned Mr. Crawford;
or that his friends any ,ohere have withdrawn
him from the contest. The opinions of the
Committee WILDE expressed in their Address
tn the People in the course of the week.
What put il into the writer's head, that we
considered Mr.. C's case as a desperate one, we
are utterly at a loss To divine. We are aware
that his enemies are willing to put him hors du
combat They have given him stroke of the
palsy. and of apopIexy-a dropsy of the heart
with a paralysis of the tongue. Now, they
bring forward an A. B. Plot to blow him up
and then the Proclamation of Governor
Yates, to blast his pretensions. But in vain |!
the stamina Of his constitution and his char
acter are too strong; his friends too firm. his
cause is too just, TO permit such catastrophe
to happen tn him. We have never for one
moment despaired of his election. We have
supported him, because we have believed him

The more wc know of him, the better satisfied
are we. with our choice. What was con,ic-
ton at first has now ripened into sentiment

upon the letter Of the attending phvsician
(Which we herewith publish,) il will soon be
reInstated. The citizens Of Virginia will sup

opponents may get up a thin meeting. here

try to blow each little meeting into a bubble
but like bubble, they will burst into air
The citizens Of the Union will not, cannot ul
