Without pretending to know from what information that gentleman drew his coodusioos, it is easy, to show that they are correct, and it might not be difficult to prove that be has spoken too indulgently of Mr. Crawford. If any imposition has bern practiced on the public credulity by Mr. Crawford's friends, in consequence of his not hav ing been sufTicici-tly conspicuous 15 or 16 years ago to have had all his opin ions distinctly noted and remembered, it is timje that the veil should be with, drawn, and the troth made known.

It will be recollected that Mr. John Randolph quarrelled with Mr. Jeffer son and his party (except Mr. Galla tin) aboatiht vfar of ISOoyor 7, and succeeded in forming a little malcon tent taction, which continued to gore and to oppose the government until the declaration of war, and during the course of it. Who were the members of this opposition to Mr. Jefferson's administration ? Were they not Mr. Randolph, of Virginia, Mr. D. H. Williams, of S. Carolina, Mr. W. H. Crawford, of Georgia ? &c. &c.

If this message is oracular in its mraning. it was no less miraculous in its pro- mulation. The newspapers, to the east of this, stated that such a mes sage would be delivered, and stated its cootents nearly one week before it reached the two Houses of Congress. To account for this phenomenon it neither within my tower or prnmct" Could any declaration be quoted, from Mr. Pickering himself, more in. dicitive of a want of confiJcnce in Mr. Madison's Administration, than ttut ol Mr. Crawford, wh'uh m-y be found in the National !pcl!lgncer of Fcbuary 2J, IBIOf Let it be remem bered, ihat this speech was made in opposition to a h. 1 for Inline out an frigates for the protection of our imcrcej and that Mr. Crawford ... our com there declares, that "if every frigate, K.ketch in our navy wa be, even then, wlwlly incompetent to that object.

Did not Mr. Crawford, in thai speech, say the strongest things to con since the world that we had no mien tion of going-to war ? and did not this speech-encourage Great Bntaiu to re fuse all reparation to Mr. Madison for the injuries and insults she had heaped on us: v hat saiu Mr irawiord " But waiving all the arguments," said he, " against our declaring war, which may be drawn from our past conduct, ic would ask this honourable body whether the present situation of the world doea not solemnly admonish this nation to stand aloof from the dreadful convulsions whh width Europe has, ior years past, open aguatcu 10 us cen tre .' .Yes, sir, the character of the war, and the principles upon which it is con. ducted, admonish us, in the most sol emn manner, to remain quiet, until its stormy billows shall subside into a calm." Let it be the wisdom of this nation to remain at peace, as long as peace is within its option. Having shown, from our past conduct, that we"do not mean to declare war, and also, that sound policy forbids us to do iV, it is necessary to inquire into the probability of its being declared against us. aucrt were tne senumcms.oi Mr. Crawford, when Great Britain was-plundertngvimpressing-and mur dering Americans, even in sight of the steeples of New York and Nor folk ! and vet he is called " the cohs!?- tWMjryM,Hjf.K3f the defender of his in objecting to Mr. Madison's wish, nave our tive frigates fitted out, what did Mr. Crawford sav?

We must co to ar to justify ourselves to the nation, for the cxrrbitaot expenes which we have incurred by these means." Such are Jr. Crawford's arguments agjiost Mr. yladison nrenranons for war. and vet Mr. Crtwford is " the illustri- us patriot the consistent republican the uniform supporter of Mr. Jeffer son's and Mr. Madison's administra tions ! !" If Mr. Crawford's advice had been followed, where would have been the glory "of our naval victories f Where the national honor which now dilates the heart of every American. on whatever land he may tread, or on whatever ocean the winds may waft im : Dut how comes it that Mr. Madison fterwards patronised the man vho so warmly opposed his administration? Why, for a very plain reason. ' The war was approaching, the federal par- t r t tv increasing, ana Mr. Crawford at be head of a large party in Georgia, hose-oalitioawitbthe federalists might have paralized the executive. o neutralize Mr. irawiord, and ue. ch him from Randolph, was conse- cfCirftly of importance to the govern V, wid d.is was accordingly cOutrl- .vrd and executed. it nappenel that before Mr. amim resigned as Secretary of State, in 1811, the executive had some business of a secret nature to the south, and, at the suggestion of the Secretary, the Presi dent determined to offer the agency to Mr. Crawford.
