.'','ch aao about nothng.-The adherents of
MIR. Crawford, in New-England, having endea-
voured in vain, to stem the popular current and
produce an array in favour of their candidate,
are now busy, as the only thing they can do, in
,pe work OF misrepresentation. To encourage
their brethren al the South now extremely hard
pushed by the liberals, they publish notices of
meetings. m .iiterent parts of the country, said
to be hostile 10 Mir. Adams, and endeayor to
throw doubt and mystery into the proceedings of
public assemblies. In New-Hampshirc, MIR.
Isaac Hill, the Crawford leader, has lately adj.
dressed letters to the candidates on the Adams
electoral ticket, IN hopes of finding something in
their replies, which may injiire them in the opin-
ions OF the peoples. If he can get an expression
on which he may found an accusation Of Cr:,w-
ioruisn, he viii make Of il 10 promote dis
uust among the .4iains men. From ONLY one
of the candidates has he, as yet obtained any
thing which he has thought proper to publish
Tins gentleman tells him, plainly, that lie pre-
tiers John Quincy Adams TO all the other candi-
dates.
In massachusetts, the Crawford gentlemen
have made an essay at sham meetings, for the
purpose OF getting up an opposition ticket for e.
iectors. These meetings are very thin and do
not think 1t prudent to nominate Crawford men
ALI they can hope for, is to produce confusion,
oy nominating one Adams man in opposition TO
another. In Berkshire theynominated Gov. Eua-
tbs q Ex-Gov. Brooks Adams men, ill opposi
ton to the Hon. Messrs Gray G. Lincoln, nc
minated at large on the regular Adams ticket
In " Worcester, they nominated the Hon. Jadge
strong, who was at that moment officiating as
Chairman OF the regular adams meeting. in OPP
position TO one of the Adams candidates in that
county. The same farce will, probably, be act
Ell over In the other counties. They we'll know
that none but Adams men can be eletsed: but
ihey hoPeto produce scattered vote, by OPP
posing one to another, and they hope their
friends IN Virginia will take courage from this
show OF opposition here. Let them go on. Their
raceis as short as dishonorable.
