If, tlierefore, tlie Edi tors of the Register," oa a mature and impartial consideration of the subject, prefer and advocate the cause of Mr. Crawford for the Presidency, I am per ftly willing they should enjoy their t pinion: nor ought they, in an eititrea&inn of it in a temperate and dignified sort, 10 do either reprehended Or ridiculed: but when they say "that no other en- didaie can be placed in competition with Mr. Crawford," they hazard a great deal; and it must be conceded such a declaration is .rather extravagant and tciu Uk iiuemperaie. 41 xney throw-the gauntlet, they must expect ccntmtionf and, accordingly, in your paper of the 2Dth ult. as well as your spirited and masterly aeroar, I per ceive an able and interesting article from the pen of your correspondent " Caro lika." who lashes, with no snaring hand. tho political principles and conduct of Mr. Crawford, and, to my mind, noton f refutti all the BophitUtal arguments urged in his favor by Messrs. Gales & Son, but completely establishes the fact of his having onct been, if not now, a rank Federalist. Before I read the paper to which this communication refers, I, nor had any of iny neighbors made op our minds for which of the Presidential candidates we should vote; and this, in part, confirms the statement of you ami your corres pondent; and, as a further proof tmt the presidential election was not made a question in our county, 1 and a good ma great labor in its behalf.
