' A the Presidential question is a mattJ'of1
the utmost Importance to us all, and one which
measurably engrosses tbe attention of the
People, insomuch . that it has become the or.
dr of the day throughout our country:' to
canvass fairly the merits arid, pretentions of
the several candidate , to una. high,'- distin
frwsned and responsible office, oannot T pre.
same, be otherwise than desirable. The hrst
candidate I shall mention, la Mr. Willara H.
Crawford, who haa, for several years, presided
over the Treasury Department of the United
states, and, rrom ni opposing the views and
measure pf the rest of the cabinet of the U.
n ted States, has (rained the appellation of the
Radical candidate. He ha been represented
to us, by jus tutorial mend, a the roan
oi ne I'oopic." it so, how does it come to
pass that he is so ofTensive to a respectable
portion of the citiaens of bis own state?, If ,
hisjcbaracter is unimpeachable, and his ta
lent of. the first, grade, lit i fair to suppose
that the' good' people of Georgia Would ' all
have unanimously joined in elevating him to
the bitrb office to which he aspires; but, by
referring to tbe debates of the late session of
uie legisiarare oi ,inai. iswie pn.me'question
to give w. vrawrord a Jcguaative recommen
dation for the Presidency, we find that able
members of tliat body said that, on examining
the wishes of the people of Georgia, it was
"highly probable that more than one half of
the citizen of that state wa opposed to hi
election; and why opposed because they
know lam, and that knowledge would not
permit' them to espouse hi cause. , This
spoke a language not to . he misunderstood
bv the rest of lhe state in the Union.".
We find it to be the case, that, in ordinary
matters, the man that doc not possess the
confidence of hi neighbors, i not thoucrht
worthy to be trusted by them; but when an in
dividual of this character aspire al tlie high
eat office in th$ gift of face people, the
trood seiise of the nation, we, hope, will, al-
way "triumph over pretention so preposter
