MettTM. EJitart, am coocerned to
s that too and my much esteemed
friends the Editors of the Rr-istfT,"
ainer so widely oa the subject of the
presidential election; but in an horwst
difference of opinion surely titer can
be do crime. 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

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

the pen of your correspondent " Caro

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. He has been
minister to France, for "which he was
very well paid; Secretary of the Trea
