It would be strange indeed, if I should notv when we--reflect, that the L life, of man is made up of good arid evil, ami in many casesT the latter greatly outweighs sis well as outnumbers the for mer. It will . be. remembered by;you, ;that Mr. Cmvford has been before the; (public for seventeen years, and that 'during'the whole of that tijne he has filled WriYe important and distinguished loftlce ;that hehashad,lin the lischarge :of his offici d duties, many interests. to ; consult, .and ymany difficulties to sur : mount. ; Tt Js, ' there f(re, or equal gra jtificatio'n to me, as of surprise, that he should have been able , to direct his po ! 1 i tical bark, and; pil i?t tlie nation's shi p : through so many storms, and amidst so t many rocks ami quicksands, with so i little injury. The' principal charge " I have to exbibiT against I r. C raywford; is, his" voting for the extension of the I charter 'of thenrid United States' Bank. ;. I then thoujrht as I now think, the act i of ; ihcorporatitin was uuwnrrariipii by the t?njest rand' vnn'hnriscd by the i titrvtUoiom ;I thought it dangerous e so said d abler-pens-than mine, that,it would be worse than useless" tor me to attempt to'euteV into a detailed .cairfseof rea soning upon the subject. Having sta ted tlie above as the chief objection I hail to' Mr- C- it becomes necessary to - notice somc ot'eer objections which have been , taken by' other persons - against him y lest it might. the supposed, they had escjiped.my observation, or that I had passed thctn over in silence from partial ify "to Mr. C. 1 The first of these - ejections, in-order -ofv time, is his Fe-'dej-alism ; 2d his oppositiono Mr. Jef ferson's administration in 'voting against the "embargo : the $d his opposition to thp enui'inents and augmentation of the Navy 5 the 4th, his. corrupt practi ces ami maladministration of the pub lip revenue; and-th, his intriguing "spirit. If there are any btlicrs, they have escaped my-jrecol lection at present. ' ilt thcoV as to his Tederalisni. " This 'charge is . funded 'uti,' the 'address I to PresMlent. Adams by the ' Young " men of Augusta;" of which Mr. Craw ford wa& one. From the very style of the' address; it is fair to infer, that the - - meet -g was coiiiposed of that desenp r tio'n if r.ersons withoutany other cha ; ra M eristic to distinguish them froin Je ;:-eat:'iniassjiC-:the inhabitants'.

Mr. C. for the lirst time, took his seat m the Senate on the 9th Dec. 1807? on the 18th of the same month, when jit could not be supposed he was.. very conversant with the business :of the 'Senatel or had formed an acquaintance with many of the members, Mr. Jeflerson; sent & confidential message to both Houses of Congress, recommending an immediate "mbarjro, & enclosing two documents." Themessage was referred in Senate to a committee of five, of which Mr. Adams was one, (mark the difference of condupt upon this occasion, between Mr. A. and Mr. C.) MrJ Adams " ob- jected in comnutttee, that the two do- cuments , wun ; tne message wcic nut sufficient to justify so strong anil severe a measure s an embargo. To the rea sons assigned by the chairman, (confin ed to the committee,) Mr. ! Adams - yielded and the bill for layiirg trie embargo was reported to the Senate, with the unanimous assent of the committee-" This bill, hastily drawn up, and pushed through the Senate in a day (by rescinding one of the rules,) was on the third reading, proposed by Mrf C. to be laid on the table, until the next day, (he wishing for further infor mation, for Mr. A. had very brieily as signed the reasons tor assenting to the bill.) This motion was lost, 12 yeas, 18 navs. The bill of course passed. Now see the reasons which influenced these two great men in their votes. Mr. A. " observed that tlie executive hav ing 'recommended the' measure upon his responsibility, had doubtless other reasons for it, which he was persuad ed were satisfactory." .Thus you see Miv .Adams was disposed to .adiVpt a ' strong! and severe measure,' which suspended the whole commerce ofj the country, upon the bare-responsibility of the President, while Mr. C wasjask- j'nw for reasnim to direct his own juilg- ment, not wdlimr to shrink from tne dutv he owed to his constituents, by substituting the message of the Presi dent for .Qict or conviction. The par allel between these gentlemen may be extended further. This bill vas re ported by the committee, of which Mr. A. was np it . was passed andsent to the House ox Represeitatives, where it received various amendments, all of which Mr. A. and Mr.'C. vote! for. This shews the imperfect state' of tne bill when it came out of the hinds of Mr A. and who is prepared to say, that Mr. C. did not discover j it and wanted itime to digest the necessary amendments ? 1 0 ' ' 3d charge is, " his opposition to the equipment . and augmentation of our fleet." -Any person who would found liis own actions on reason, and iHilieve others would adopt tjie same rule must, in a moment, come -to the conclusion Mr. C. did, that ur little fleet would be useless in a war with Great-Britain whose maritime force was u vastly supe rior to our's. , And let me ask the most sanguine friends of the-navy, (and there is not one of them. who holds in! higher estimation than I do, tht gallant and noble, conduct of our officers and tars,) what our few ships could have done, had the enemy have sent the same force upon our coast in 1812, which was here in;1814 ? And it could have been ac complished with as much ease? at the former as at the latter date. Nothing but that national 'pride which, induced Great-Britain to hold in the utmost con tempt, the nautical skiU of every other nation, prompted herJo pursue i that blind policy, by which : our little navy was'enabled to cover itself v with glory.'

At the tiriie much of this money was re ceived, the rate of exchange between where the- money was. paid, and Phila delphia or New York, was from 10 to 15 per cent, vet Mr. Crawford brought the whole of this money into available funds, at par value, at less than I two and an half per cent. Even if the whole sum which appears to be due to the Treasury of the United States should be finally lost, still the Treasury! has sustained less loss than any other; pri vate, or public monied institutions in the United States 'during. th' same; pe- noiu in prop;iriiou io rneir relative ca nitals, and I do not believe, if tlie ro - i - i ... a., - i , ' vernmentj had at this moment twenty millions of silver dollars! at Edwards'- ville, they could have it placed in N York and x'unaunipMia ai k less pretm urn. It may be asked, wh v Mr. Crawford received this depreciated money ?' I will answer, the question, bv asking mf r vou another. If the direct taxes of 1816 & 1817 had not been dis chargeable in N. I Carolina bank notes, low could w have paid our public dues ? And were we entitled to this indulgence,' while it was denied to others ? ! - 5th and jast charge His iritrigu-. ng spiri .1" Everv person who has a- ny Knowieage or 3lr. Urawtorcl, must admit, he is-a matr of Sne sense, and that there are few who possess a "more perfect idea of mankind than he does. These ' are the steps by which he has been able to mount, from the humble Nation of & countrv schoohtiaster. t he many and important offices he has ilied. .1 ' Was -yit a mark of Mr. Crawford's utriguing- spirit, to advocate the ex tension of the charter of the old United tes bank, in opposition to the great States of New-York. Pennsvl van in. Virginia and North -Carolina ? Was he attempting, to ingratiate himself into their favor, by opposing their political opinions and pecuniary interests ? Or lid he display mucn of the courtier, ;n opposirig the interests of the great, for the benefit, of the Weak ? Again,-if Mr. Crawford's heart had been set upon of fice and promotion, would he have, op posed ; tlie views of Mr. Jeflerson and Mr. Madison ? Or .would he oof rather have joined in with Mr. J. Q. Adams, and said; " this is not a time for deli beration, let us act" ? Has Mr. Craw ford ariy hireling presses in his service? Has he condescended to occupy the E ditorial column of a newspaper to vin dicate his conduct before'the public ? Has Ijc taken the printing of his- de partment from a paper, because the edi tor did not laud him, or because he had the effrontery to publish some remarks, which .went to "shew his opinions were somewhat exceptionable ? The charge of intrigue is made jn such general terms that it is la! mpst impossible to meet it fairly. If his opponents will be parti cular and specify their charges, it would be more satisfactory, and entitled j to more credit, j Is there a single act! of Mr. "Crawford's whole life, ; which jus tifies the slightest suspicion that he has. associated himself with a Jininn Edwards," for the purposeof blast in the character of-j his coniDetitor for fa vor ? If this negative proof is not suffi cient to rebut a general charge,, then, 1 must call upon the accuser to make out his case'more in detail; G ' ; i Q ONE OF THE PEOPLE.! i N. B. It is very, unsafe to judge a man's merit by his name, or a writer by his signature."
