thus address me my dear sir, all my de-
pendence is upon you, don't disappoint US,
YOU know our Partiali;y was for you next to
The Hero; and how much we want Wes-
tern President" Immediately after a
friend of Mr.. Crawford will accost me. .'the
hopes of the Republican party are concen-
traied on you; for Gods sake preserve IL:
if YOU had beer returned instead Of Mr..
Crawford, every man ofus would have sup
ported you TO the last hour We consider him
and You as the only genuine republican
candidates" Next friend Of Mr.. Adams
comes with tears in his eyes, s.Sir, Mr..
Adams has always had the greatest respect
for YOU, and admiration Of your talents
There is no station 10 which YOU are not
equal: most undoubtedly you were the Sc
cond choice of New England, and | pray
YOU to consider seriously whether the public
good and your own future interests do not
point most distinctly TO the choice which
yon ought 10 make"

times almost wish that il was in my power
10 accommodate each of them; but that be-
ing impossible, we are beginning to think
seriously Of the choice which we must final.

ans we shall not by the example, inflict
any wound upon the the character of our

regret, on account of the dilemma in which
the people have placed Us, support Mr.. Adj
