 sIts defence of Judge Crawford, MT Pope, aud Mi hLewis, was depravity enough. Butto propose Judge ESmth. of South Carolina, for the Vice-Presidency &of the United States, the decided enemy of Mi ECalhoun, would try the temper even of a church deacon, and is absolutely more then human patience
 can bear What! says this long legged bird dof grace E-nominate Judge Smith, without consulting the
