The WING Candidates for crawford.

II has ever been onr intention and we hope il
ever shall be our practice to refrain from fuIsome
personalities, in our editorial career We see no
necessity for such a course to advance n oood
cause; and our sense of proprety forbids us to
believe that any end can justify it. We consider
that the man who resorts to it as procIaiming to
the world the desperate condition of his cause.
and we are satisfied that such weapons will mover
gain victory. Further we have learned to know
that irresponsible persons are more given to such
practices than those who feel the responsibility of
their conduct-who retain a degree of self. rec.
pect and respect for the good opinion of the pub
lie.
We make these remarks because we intend, &c.
cordlng to our promise, to show to the best Of
our abilities, the unfitness Of the whig candidates
IN this county for the high places to which thew
aspire. They are all our fellow.citzcns, respec-
table members of the community, and ire entitled
10 courteous treatment at our hands we shall
therefore, deal with them as would be dealt by /,
hoping to defeat their election on fair grounds.
Jesse Turner, ESQ.,, has long been citizen of
our county, and in one election, whore the lines
of question and political opinion were loosely
drawn and maintained, was successful. Blu, in
the election OF lS4O, he was defeated by Tyree
Musseit, who was considered as one of the weak
est OF the democratic candidates but being so.
and the lines were closely drawn, overcome his
antagonist and won the election. Mr.. Turner bv
his political heresies and the hateful character of
his political opinions and department, has render.
cd himself unpopular, and we do not apprehend
the slightest injury from his nomination; as law
yer and man, he is al-worthy--as a politician be
is entirely deficient.
James A. Simpson, ESQ.,, is gentleman but lit.
tie known 10 US; one who endorses, however, all
the hlgh-handed measures of the whig party, and
one, who, although of warm and manly heart.
would prescribe and prescribe opinions to the far.
mers and mechanics Of our county; and whose
doctrines are SYNONYMOUS TO many Of the federal
coercive and artistrocratic doemas, contained in
Albert Pixies "Sabinus," and contended for bv
Henry Clay, so many years, with all his ba nix
loving energy. Many better residents of our
county would have been more successful than Mr..
Simpson; but as it is, however, he is an bonora.
Die opponent and shall be honorably and success
fully opposed.
J. r. Mckinney, Esq, the third candidate, has
ou'lust among come us, young mama young law
vera young politician fresh from Virginia, where
the wings so lately have gained an election by
means OF a federal prescription upon voters. He
Is, however, honest and sincere in his political
faith, and would bo the last man to sustain a dis.
honorable belief or support demagogue we're it
not for his violent prejudccs. He is no democrat:
he would not support such man as Thomas JEFF.
ferson' ono of democracy's greatest leaders and
champions, aud even distinguished stateman with
the title of "demagogue Z" Surely none can vote
for him with such assertions upon his lips; no To-
yer OF republicansm will cast his suffrage in the
scale OF man who denounces jefferson. His
defeat will be easy, although we believe him to
be as popular as either of the four candidates.
n. M. Deweese, is very good merchant, in his
line; very good talking, roundIy asserting politi.
can one who can turn his honest penny in most
any trade; but, as we know he has mistake his
cue for once. There are numbers of as intelIi.
gent farmers who would fill his place much more
satisfactorily to the farmers than he; they want
the interest of the farmers represented il is nm
interest paramount to all others, for arc thew not
the great majorityl Farmers prefer intelligent
farmers for their representatives, rather than law.
yers and merchants who will make lavJs To abse,
their own vocations.
This individual is very prescriptive in his feel.
ings. and would be very unsuitable for the station
