Crawford, be tbe rote of l he state what it might. It U laid that Mr. Long made similar declaration. Whether any of the other of our mem bera who went into the caucus, will in like manner set . the voice of their con stituents, at defiance, Is not certainly known. It la conjectured, however, that they will not. It it even very questions bit, whether the two gentlemen named, will continue of tbe same mind when tbey arebrougbl to4he teau - Per ha pa the greater number oi, our memoera wno went into the caucua, will, on the Jirtt ballot, rote for Mr. Crawford t they will do this by way of keeping up tbe appear ance of consistency ; but, on the second and aubsequent ballots, we shall find them voting for Gen. Jackson. There are two or three in the delegation, who will, on the very first ballot, desert their favorite, Mr. Crawford, and go over to the favorite of the people, Gen. Jackson. Of, this number, we msy count Mr. Cutfirher, and Mr. Conner, Whether this desertion of their man is the consequence of fovt or Uenrtii the people, is left to conjecture I a . saar ..a.af AS to xur.

The fact Is, already do we hear the disappointed friends of Mr.' Cra wford, every where in this state, crying out sgsinst Mr. Adams, and claiming Jackson aa their aecond choice. Yea, the very roan who, a few weeks since, were so ac tive in circulating the lies and alanders of Jesse Benton now say Jackson la their second choice 1 Are theae men convin ced of tha injustice they have dw Cn.
