1t is strange enough that at onnos;t..
sections Of tie union, candidates iar th,,
Presidency, are supported upon Opposite
principles Whist Mr. Crawford Is he'd
up in the Snath, az the only one of the CA,
ddates- hostile TO the Tariff, be is sappo,t
I'd in New York from belief OF his la,or
ing II. The same remark is true perhat.
Ia relation To Mr.. Adans-The facl pro,,.
not that those gentlemen IN reality al.
friendly 10 the Tariff, bat that the ze,l ut
their pdrtlzans selzes indscrlminateiy up
On argument, which they suppose vii
have Influence With the peaplr.--We
are disposed 10 believe ih1t both Mr..
Adams aud Mr., Cran ford have on this
question the same "pinlon--tliat they were
both tor Jpdicious revision of the Taiit,
WITH no view 10 lntesdict cOmnerce, but
Tor the paipo oi revenue. Caodor, and
a srnse ri justice mpcl us 10 make this au
mission IN favor Of Mr. Graw ford-from
the uniform policy Of his friends, we haze
no reason 10 expect, nor do we expect an
equal degree of librrs,lity for Mr.. Adams
opinions, But We are persuaded that he ia
as independent OF the tavOrs Ufhls enemies,
aa liz Is III thefI etinity-and that he is not
disposed TO court The first, as he has ne
yer shfunk ffom the Consequences oi The
last.
The Enquirer with great ingenuity anti
clpatcS, and by anticipating, rAptois 10
e'adc, what II is we'll aware, is a strong
answer 10 this attack upon tie opinions OF
Mr.. Adams. 1t fUresers, that On this sub
Ject, they are 10 hear " the common cant
Of the day'-thai Mr.. Adams ON this sub
" Is not more Objectionable han the other
cand'datts-aud that they all entertain the
same opinions" After all, can any rrply
be more reasonable aud unanswrrable ? Mr..
ADAMS opinions are represented as TINS
obnoxious, for the purpose of contrasting
ihrm with the more popular opinions Of
Mr. Crawford, and that the latter may be-
benefited by the contrast. Is il not Gnlt,.
fair TO deprive Mr.. Crawford of Ia, benefit.
by declaring the truth, that his opinons
correspond with Mr.. Adams, and that he
is as friendly to the Tariff us Mr.. Adams
hinstlf.
We are not displpased at this attempt TO
misreprcsent Mr.. Adams In the people Of
Nir5inla. The misrepresentation is cas-
Of fcftation, and it al least proves that he
IS more formidable than his opponents
have been generally willing TO admitin Va
ginla.
