PETITIONING CONGRESS-.

I'VE see that good many petitions are
being presented in Congress for the
adoption Of the Crittendep, or some other
comprehensive adopts the Breckinridge
plat orm, and that very few are being pre.
scented for the maintenance of the Re.
publican platform. It's not fair to Judge
from this, that the Repuhlicans han.
cna"ged their opl0ions, or that they are
indifferent as to the result Of the present
contest The Republicans believe that
the expression If public sentiment At the
late Presidential election, was SO plain
shat vayfariog mao could no. helm but
understand it, aud that there is 10 neces.
s'ty to petition Congress so soon there.
after, to enable our Representatives to
understand our wishes. We have vet to

by Mr.. Crittendeu. Wo to the man who
