part We have no hesitation in believing, from the very

Ing extract from It's last paragraph distinctly shows
upon taxing leave OF this subject, we beg permits

an inclination to jefame Mr.. Calhoun, as 10 defend Mr..
Crawford. He has been our particular guide and

the esteem oil a grateful people. OF thi, consolation an
attempt was made 10 rob him, and the man who ha.

We have another reason for ~ascribing A. b. to some
other pen than MIR. C's-We have understood from the
best authority, that Mr. C. Is about to make a final re-
ply TO MIR. Calhoun-that he is collecting testimony and
materials Tor the purpose-but that he will take his own
der no fictitious character, but under his proper sigma
ture.
This matter brings to our notice an extract of a letter
we nave published from a Georgia paper, from the late
and respected Cobb, going TO clear Mr.. Crawford of anv
share OF MIR. Cobb's esolutions-we have before MS
a Ieuer from MIR. Cobb, addressed TO a gentleman of
this city, which shows that thing in the strongest no;nt
oil view. The following is an extract:
"WAsHINGroN, Ilth Feb, 1925.

cured nay motion on that subject 0he Seminole Affair."
IN truth, he consumed three hours in attempting to dis.
suade me from interfering in it,; believing il would be
attributed TO him.-But my duties TO my Constituents
were paramount to my duties and friendship for him,
and ! protested in my determination" :.
ms and a preceding letter from Mr.. Cobb, contain a
variety OF facts respecting the vote from MIR. Adams.
