WASHINGTON, July %.
SIRs.-The account given OF Mr. Crawlorl,a
lhealth in letter from gentleman at Washington
ito his friend in N. York aud published in the Al.
!vocate oil oath, is so incorrect that the man WIN
wrote it, Cf it was ever written in WASHINGTON
must either be knaye or fool, orin other worda
so infatuated with radicaism as to have lost his qn
Ises.
So the National Inelligencer tells us on Saur-
day last, that MIR Crawford rides 10 miles dsv
and that he attends daily at his residence to The
duties Of his office.
Then again the Washington Gazette announce,
on Monday, The Goth, that the Sunday before. Mr.
Crawford attended divine service at The Bapt,
Church in Washington. New sir, this is all ma.
nGuverng and stuff. 1t is such shameful, bare
faced imposition, that it becomes the duty Of every
man to expose il as such 10 the people, whose in.
terest it vitality concerns.
But painful is this subject, that all who see
through the object Of those prepared sentiments.
touch them with reluctance, for fear OF giving pain
to Mr.. Crawford and his interesting family. but
the truth ought IN be told: the people want heal
thy, vigorous President, rot diseased one.
Ever since MIR. Ciawiord's first attack in August
hae -
ing better; and not word OF truth has been uttered
in relation to his health by them, until MIR. Earlys
letter appeared in the Franklin Gazette last wnler
Al the moment when ne was announced by his GEL
ebrnted q wont say Tor whaD doctor as being in a
perfect convaescent state, MIR. Early told us that
he had been waiting at Washington to perform the
last rites of friend 10 Mr.. Crawford, and 10 con-
duct his family to Georgia.
Before the date of that letter, DR.. Cutbush, of
Washington was called in, ard on examining The
patient, announced at once 10 t1co or three ct his
friends thdt he acas tailoring andPr partial par-
tiySiS. DE-. Cutbush will not contradict this he
IS man Of honor MIR. CrawIords friends hear
ng Of it were very angry, and in consequence of
lis daring TO tell the truth sent for Dr. Potter OF
Baltimore to consult him what his opinion is we
10 not know, it has been so variously rendered,
ometimes encouraging, and al others the contrary.
Since about two weeks, Mr.. Crawford has 6een
IGNORED 10 country seat four miles from the city.
There he has recovered in degree from the sali-
aton he underwent; his bodily health is so far i'm
proved that with assistance and c8o,t, he can get
nto his carriage and take an airing. Once or twice
e has called al his Office, but has been 100 feeble to
cave his carriage and ascend the staircase leading
his bureau His sig hit is still very feeble but bet
er han il was previous 10 his last attack. On Sun
lay last he did, by great exerion, show himself at
he Baptist meeting house, wpsrehls appearance
hooked every one.
Thus much for his sight, appearance and move
nents. Now let Us examine little further into the
tate of his health.
The partial paralysis he has experienced, has but
lightly affected his body and limbs bui his tongue
ustained shock from which he never will, in all
recover. He cannot. nor has not since
he attack articulated three words distinctly; and
is mind has evidently been impaired thereby. AS
his attendance TO his duties it is out of the ques
ion, il is well known here that of his children
his amanuenss; and tina, when the fac simite is
OF used size Signs hiS name. | saw yesterday one
I her signatures for her father.
You will recollect that ii is now months since Mr.
,rawiord's first attack. He once so far recovered
10 be able, at the end OF the session of congress,
walk occasionally from his house to his Office, and
'om thence 10 the Presidents. This be did seve-
il times, and there was then some hope of his re-
Dvery but since that he has been in his
ate and though said now by his friends to be dali
improving, he only in fact lights up now and then
