frctl? inadequate to the.objec's he hid in

the Richmond Academy, where he remained

he was engaged in his scholastic and profes

I Thi then is the character, whose capacity
for discharging the highest office in the? go
vernment, we are about to consider. It will
, re readily admitted that in all subjects short
of demonstrativeecience, we have a right to
the full benefit ofxational inferences, to4he
ascertainment of causes bv their effects, to
the establishment of facts by their fruits ;
this position being- perfectly , reasonable, we
proceed to enquire, bow "has it happened,
that an individual, without family or fortune,'
without the early advantages wlvch those
circumstances confer, self-educated, under
tne pressure of poverty and all its anxieties,
" under the rigour of labour and all its discou
. ragements, under difficulties w ich few can
know, because few have ever felt, calculated
to repress the ardour of genius, and damp its
; efforts, without J that aid in the commence
I ment of public. life,, which-penury needs,
j and , that countenance which diffidence re-
qiiires, raised in a frontier state, at that time
fossessinir.but a mixed population, compara-
tively unenlightened, and consequently with-
t out influence, should now be standi ng'before I i
, tne people tor an otnee that implies a confi
dence & conveys an honor that even thrones f.
might envy. When we seek a solution of
this mystery, if talents are reiected from the
luuuui, iic miiiriinv is mucn increased!

Candidates, that they live so near the revolu

that event is constantly suggesting, that they
are the first to' commence a competition for
an office, unsupported by those high claims,
resulting from ihat struggle, which has here
tofore been the passport to success.
Alth ugh ours is emphatically a civil go
vernment, and we have always been excess
sive'y jealous of a military influence! consi

:misfortunes that could befal our institutions,
yet we seem to think that no one but a mili
tary character can preside over the nation,
and when we ask what a candidate has done,
it is With reference to that very -subject.
Strip our former Presidents of their revolu
; tionary services, and how far do they excel
in point of attainments of mind, our present
candidates?' How much better qualified
were thev, for the discharge of so responsi
ble a trust ? In the language of the inter
; rogatory concerning Mr. Crawford, what had
f they done? They had made speeches and
j reports in Congress, and so have the present
j candidates, and when compared, the" .little
sneers of envy to the contrary notwithstand
ing, there is no difference in point of sound
sense, deep research, extensive learning, or
indeed any ot those characteristics max con
stitute an eloquent debate or able state pa-
per. -lne form or our governme.ni requires
a certain order of political science ' and this
is displayed in a particular routine, by those
statesme'n who are climbing to reach its high
est summit. ; Tbey first enter the list of parlia
mentary discission, perhaps figure at the
head of some great committee being suc
cessful there, : they pass to a diplomatic or
departmental station, and there they are de
pendent upon contingencies, whether they
remain stationary or rise in reputation. Our
condition in life is extremely rtificial, de
pending upon passing events and surround
incr obiects, to which, it can; readily con
form and be easily accommodated, according
to our respective geniuses and, capacities ;
hence we are singularly the creatures 'of cir
cumstance. The same state ot things that
Invested Washington with a never-dying
fame, as a warrior, immortalised Jefferson as
a statesman and'Paine as a writer, so that it
is not so exclusively to talents, a3 a happy
combination of occurrences, that great men
sometimes owe' their elevation and these
but seldom occur. ', It is not often we have a
revolution or a war, and it is Very fortunate
for us, in more respects than one, that this is

I have now gone through the subject as
proposed to be considered, but tbetore I
close, there are one ot two matters I deem
worthy of notice. ; It has jbeen, on a former
occasion, enquired, whether , Georgia was
heartilv in favor of Mr. Crawford, and whe
ther the presses of that State were . disposed
to support him ? J answer, without hesita
tion, as " botl particulars, in the affirmative.
With respect to the people, they have never
entirely fonrottert Mr. Crawford's services,
although they have promoted the views of
ma aaversary. aiany -msisv :upun. n, mcj uii
serve both, and while they support Mr. Craw
ford for his talents and virtues, they serve
his enemy .from a capricious pity, growing
out of his disgraces. There is, however, a
political reaction in Georg ia ; ; th e pride of
the State ia pow concerned ; .the people are
not, as some have supposed, lost to a sense
of national reputation. Tq say tliat Georgia
is not anxious, to afford a President of the
Union, is a direct) insult, tocher understand
ing and character : and to say tliat Mr. Craw-
tVrd has lost her confidence, is a reproach to
her judgmenti and ka attack upon.her gTati
rude." Whatever "may be her famihr disputes,
ui wiucii, no uuuo' sue is ,nuw, wiauiu, ii
has not resulted in her" estrangement from
tr. Crawford. He has served.: her too long,
too faithfully, and has .raised' het character
too higli to be -now in the time of his greai
est need,' overlooked. Depend upon it the
Georgians re - not such an j ungenerous peo
ple they begin to be undeceived, and; in a
monient of cssi reUeendn, wken they see,

in which thev have been admini4erbd, thev
arfentlrely Idisposed to. return to the igoo
old track, and to the Exercise of moremo'l!
rate fipelinirs. Thev have discovered, from
a history of the times, that ' their Jackson's
creek Hero, did no more than was done by
all of niir first settlers, and half of Our fron- t
tier women ; and as to their pity, he has ha
it ?oner enough, seeine how noor a ret: n .he!
is able to make . for it. ; ; f i s . 1 -With
regard to the presses, they are de
cidedly and warmly for Mr. Crawford, with
the excention of two. one of these, conduct
ed by a consistent and honorable federalist,
Wm. J. Hobby, . Esq. is in favor of Mrl A
dams! 'This editor is the brother-in-law of
Gov. Clark, but added to this, he is no doubt
attached to Mr. Adams, for the very great
political veneration he has for his .father,
and perhaps som hopeful expectations in
.the versatility of the son.
The other is a travelKng federal press, ve
ry properly called the pseudo-Patriot, with
out means and less principle, H works any
where for a living, and will say 1 any thing
but the truth, for money ? fit, knows just
enough of honesty, always to avoid it, and is
ashamed of nothing but decency. Never was
there an establishment of the kind, shielded
by such an impenetrable impunity its press
is too infamous for notice, and its editor too
contemptible for correction neither of which
can be provoked bv any thing he can say,
although often sought, and a9 a marfc of at-
tention, has no doubt been anxiously-coveted.

The friendly presses, although they have
not, as yel, said much, they have, in my 6pi-;
Siion, a very sufficient reason for it. Inhere;
is a peculiar indelicacy in perpetually bb-'

the pretensions of a favorite state candidate.
The state of Georgia lias acted' with a very
becoming disrnitv and modesty, in not dicta-
ting to her sister states what they must do in
the approaching election, as some .others
' have done, by caucus, and the public prints
have evinced a respect for the judgment and
opinions of the rest of the Union,; well wor-
