n Thursdays Gazette We mentioned the
..;n.;o.e reason why We disapproyed of MIR.
roxlord, viz: his nomination BY the caucus.
Another objection land one which we believe
...mber of his own friends admit is, that
should what is called the caucus ticket sue
..sd. Albert Gallatin would hold the second
highest Office in the gilt of the nation: and
,,t;ps INTO consideration the present state OF
Mr Crawford's health, it's not at allimProoa-
hl,that the reins of government would shortly
come into ms hands. The career of MIR. Gal
~, has been marked with an action which
.hoald forever be heldin remembrance by the
DsOUle Of this country. The patriots of our re-
,ontion. after having sought the good fight
had scarcely retired from the busy scenes OF
life and converted their swords into plough
.b.tes. and their spears into pruning hooks,
.,hsn frank rebellion raised its head over our
,.,esful land, and threatened to overthrow
our laws. Who, then, was engaged in this
unbaliowed plot? Who attended the meetings
Of tbs Insurgents: The same man who is held
mas a candidate Tor the Vice Presidency or
the United States. will the people submit to
have this man to rule over them? We think
not. Reason and Justice demand that the OF.
fee should be filled by an aber--a better per.
.on. We are aware that his being foreigner
i no detriment, and that merit should be re-
warded wherever it Is found; yet, should the
claims of our own citizens be overlooked:
should tier services be sighted Tor the pur.
pose of putting into power man who can
scarcely speak our language, and who even en-.
deavored to destroy our peace and harmony
The people have too much virtue remaining to
safer il. and we feel confident that his chance
is entirely hopeless.
A meeting at Richmond was held on the
9Th INST of the persons favorable to John G..
Adams. Sundry resolutions were adopted, re-
cOmmending that gentleman to the people as
the most suitable person for the Office of Presi-
dent. An elector for the district was nomi-
mated, and committees appointed. We repeat
again, that in Virginia powerful opposition
will be made to Mr.. Crawford. We have &C.
counts daily reaching us of meetings in
humber of counties, all expressing their disap.
probation OF the caucus system. What will he
the result oft, time alone can determine.
