The partisans of Wm. If. Crawford have re
peatedly accuat d the friend of Mr. CaHioun of
rtma-with, and of being federalists.-As for
ourtelvea, ever since we could lisp the names of
parties, w e have belonged to the Republicans ;
but we never held to the doctrine that fed
eralism vu a crime. We believed hctre were
many men of good and bad intentions in both
parties t and in our opinion ft it a compliment
to Mr. Calhoun, that many of the moit virtuout
and intelligent of the federalist i unite with the
Republicans in supporting him : nor do we ob
ject to Mr. ftwwrord, krttmte some of the most
virulent of that party are his supporters.
Bat what we with at this time more particu
larly to notice, is the fact, that the very men
who have been accusing Mr. Calhoun of being
supported by tlie federalists, are the find to
place the names of federalists on their Electoral
ticket. Is this coosiatency They have been
crying ouVthat Wm.- If. Crawford- it the-enyl
republican cartrtiitate r na oy, way or proving
it, l1iey tnUfe out i tfckev
names' of several federalists, to vote for this
"exclusive republican." Who could hare tho"!
this, after hearing all their abuse of the federal
tats freTeore-reasonable to' look" for "a
Turk, than a federalist, on their ticket. But
this is an age of wonders. The federalists may
now look out for praises and compliments from
their new. friends. How comes this sudden
change ? The old adage aaya f there is plicy
in war".........and, say the radiod, in politic too !
The fact is, these self-styled republican have
most wretchedly failed in their game. They
expected, by raising the hue and cry of federal-
.!p-
republicans into s support of Wm. II. Crawford.
But in this they have been wofully disappointed.
AhdhavirTg
their next aim ia at the federalists. Tbey expect
to win over that party by placing the names of
three or four federalists on their ticket. In this,
too, they will fail for the intelligent individu

Mr. Clay, in the courte of aome rrmai ks ia
the House of Reptetcnlativcs of th U. t. ow the
claim of Gov. Tompkins, took occasina to pay
the folio ing compliment to the officer who bad
investigated the vouchers in that caec i
Mr. Clay said, that 44 not only had Ihe
accounts of Mr. Tompkins been submitted
to the severe scrutiny of the most ririd
cfJFircr of thi government i an officer
whose scrupulous accuracy iu the ad mis-
aion of accounts against the government,

through the crucible after they bed been
aubjected to all the jealous scrutiny of this
v'u'iUit offuer, they are submitued to tbe
Piesider t lor revisal" he.
The officer here alluded to, could not easily
be mistaken for any other than Peter Uapttr,
Third Auditor, who had examined the claim, and
reported the amount rhie Got . Tompkin. Yet,
strange to tell, the editors of the Raleigh Regis
ter have aeiaed upon this compliment, and most
gravely placed it to the credit of Mr. Craw f ml.
A moment's reflection ought to have satisfied
the He fitter that Mr. Craa ford cuild not hav
been the person alluded to for what has the
secretary of the treasury to do with vouchers
connected with the operations of tl militia of
New-York during the last war I By an act of
Congress, all such claim are immediately refer
red to the office of the third auditor i and Mr.
Crawford baa but little more to do with them
than "Joseph Gales k son." If the editors of tho
Register committed this mistake ignorant))-, wo
would pity and forgive them j btrt if they were
aware of the falsity of what they published, it ia
but another evidence to what despicable subter
fuges the partisans of the caueu candidate will
rcanrt, to aupport a sinking eaiiK. Finding no
merits of his own adequate to sustain his pre
tention, the partizans of the caucus chirf think .
to gull the people into a support of him, by
decking him off with the reputation filched from
aome faithful officer of the government.
We are told that a report has got abroad, that
the death of John Fri&Ue, noticed under our
obituary head, was caused by a contusion on his
head, received in a scuffle with a patrol party of

ourselves acquainted with the particular of the
