Washington, Atgut. 7 1824. ‘•any body but mk crawford. Whenever in political contentions for prin ciple* and men a crooked policy i, pursued, and unfairness and distortion of facts are practised, it is natural to conclude that the cause ofthjse who adopt such means, must be desperate indeed. *nd is unsupported by Virtue and patriotism, or by princip es of any •or The presidential question offers a strik ing example of the correctness of our propo sition. The friends of Mr. Crawford nave ail -Vocated his e'ecuon on general principles, on fthetaiems and integrity he possesses, and on dlefaiihful discharge oithe public duties with W&ich be has been intrusted. Facts have been produced to vindica'e his character from the ibul aspersions of wicked and corrupt citizens; and whenever he has been accused of mis eonduc before the councils of the nation, the charges have been victoriously answered, and repelled upon those who brought them for ward. The friends ot Mr Crawford have publicly and repeattdiy given the reasons why they were opposed to the other candidates; they have relied on facts, and on he public •acts of those candidates, in ail their endeavors to prove that this opposition was honest, and ba<ed on strong and indisputable grounds. The friends of Mr. Crawford have bad nothing in view but the welfare of the country and the integrity of the republican par y, which they sincerely desire to preserve unimpaired, and -tincontamina ed by federalism and uMraism. In short, the conduct of the friends of Mr Crawford has been fair, open, and undisgui sad : Their policy has been plain and straight; they never have attempted o pervert fac.s, nor rhe public acts and measures of the other * candidate* ; they can b Idly challenge the * minutest scrutiny in the means they have em ployed to insu-w the election of their favorite candidate. What has been tne conduct of the friends of the other candidates ? The public acts and measures of Mr. Ctaw ford have been thoroughly investiga ed by ibe •utheri ies of the country. He came out from these ordeals free from the stains which a des picable faction wan ed o attach to his name. Wer his enemies satisfied of die many trials |e manfully sustained ? D.d they acko iwledge the decisions ot men having he confidence ot the people ? No. Facts have been falsified ; men have been bnoed to impeach the charac ter of Mr. Crawford; conspiracies have been formed to destroy his repu anon by traducing him before the nation as a peculaior; .bey have perverted his reports to Congress, and maliciously given such construe.ions to his opinions and recommendaiions, which were not justifiable by the .a *uagt in which they werr communicat'd, and by the circumstances which produced hem. He has been abused .tendered on all sides . men high in office have countenanced he malevolence of his en emies; they have su t ported with their purses an their influence, a set ot unprincipled, and rt’ en-ttearted individuals who tor emolument and office offered to stab he tair fame of the objeernt their common hared. When hese things are recc.ded iuhistory, and read by our posterity, Drill U be believed that (be people of America, who claim at the preseni time such a high rank among the nations of the world, for virtue, religion, and patriotism, could have suffered to be practised the dis graceful intrigues of which Mi. Crawford was to have been the first victim. 7 Fortunately for he nation, the antidote uni be given ai the same, for it wdl be recorded also, that the unprincipled and malicious Lavt been toned in their attemp ■ to blast the character ot one of the most di ing.iis.lied and vir uous citizens ol the age. The enemies of Mr. Crawford are now reduced to exciaitn, “Any bod. lor -he presidency but Crawford,” without being aole to produce one single argument in support of the rxciamauon. In tact, since ’he discomfi'ure of Edwaids & Cos., the enemies of Mr. Crawford have abandoned all appearances of opposition with regard to principles ; d,ey now con ent them selves in bawling out, “Any body but Craw ford.” Ask any one ®f them the reasons why he is opposed to ibis gentleman, the answer uniformly is, “ 1 don’t like hi*,” and no hing more ; say to him (hat Mr. Craw turd will cer tainly be elected by the electoral colleges, he will answer, no, it is impossible ; ask who wdl, and an unniedia'e itpiy is made, 1 don’t know—l don't care who, piovided ir is net Crawford You may as Wth .eqcire trom Mourn Atlas to give you .tie reasons wuy Per seus changed with the head ot Medusa a Kmg into a mountain, a- to draw some pLuusiOie ar guments and admissible authorities ncm lie en etn e* oi Mr Crawnud, ui support of their op position ii is true, if Mr. Ct awtoui is elect ed, mat his adinuiistiation will be modelled a’ er those of Jeffersou and Madia in, that none but icpublicans, honest and capable, wdl be admitted to office.- ; that corruption, .atse hood and treachery wilt be no passport to Ins confidence, and that economy and a sine ac countability of public officers wd. be pursued and required;—consequently, there can be no wonder tha a man, whose administration will keep at a distance all sycopban sand office burners—all those little geniuses who nave but a great share of arrogance and impudence to recommend them to no ice, should be so vehemently opposed li Mr. Crawford has among his enemies a tew distinguished citi zens of the country, he can couin atno.ig his friend-, nearly ah the republicans ol’S-B; all these citizens who opposed lie encroachments of the federal administration ol John Adams — who by tbeir labours and great at rtions suc ceeded in piacing at the head ot atfku*, .ha pa triarch of the republican party, Thomas Jeffer son. The watch-word of the Ultras is, “ Any bo dy but Crawford.” Tne wa-cn word ot the democra ic party is, Republicanism and Craw ford. Republicanism mat, and secoudiy, a presided , whether he be Crawford or any oth er man, who will main am he constitution of the United States in itg original form, and preserve ‘he democratic party in its full streogdi and vigour, and who will keep the federai party down, and their allies the Uhras in dignified retirement. VV nut appears strange to us iu the conflict of political opinions iu which the people are now engaged, is to see some men who have pretensions to (he title of republicans, join the federalists and ultras, and encrease tbe.r chi mou.s against Mr. Crawford and the demo crat ic party. Cannot these men perceive the hands that set them at work j can hey be so far blinded as not to see the ambition and de signs ot the prime movers of all this opposi tion io Mr Crawlord? Why do they let them* selves be gulled by these office hunter.—those greedy seekers after the good things of <bis worid? will they be rewarded for their sup port 1 no. Should these Us.tied States have the mistortune to witness an ultra in the pre sidential chair, the offices will be divided among a chosen few ; the loaves and fishes wilt be only for the knowing ones ; and those who will have given their support conscien tiously will be disregarded, and a just remu neration for their trouble and exer ions wi.h* held. Let such men of the iavtei description redeem their native independence ; we do not ask Uiem io suppon Mr. Crawford, but we wish them to throw afcde the veil which co vers their eyes—to shake off the servility they have for a few designing ai4cunn,ng tur n-in short, to act independently and as becoming American citizens ; Should act thus, and then not support Mr. Crawford, Uey w ill nev ertheless deserve the respect of his friends— a respect to which a manly and dignified oppo sition is always ent tied WILKES COUNTY.

From the Fort Hawkins Messenger : Last week we mentioned the arri val of two boats at this place from Darien, but had not room (hen to remark that the river is lower than it has been for some years. Those boats had some difficulty in getting up. having been stopped about eigh teen miles below here by the trees which had (alien into the river. Capt. Cutter, (he owoer of the boats, who is a mao above ordinary enter prise, employed some additional hands, and succeeded in removing the obstacles from (hat place to Ma con. He pasted two sand bars, in getting over which he had some little difficulty, but nothing when compar ed to the logs and trash in the river. It is woriby of remark that Capt. Cutter, in removing those trees, did more effectual work towards clear ing out the river than has ever been done heretofore by the public hands that are at work on it. Those hands, we understand, are at work near the junction of this and the O couee river, where but little needs to be doue—or at any rate where it cannot he so required as it is within a few miles of this place Our inquiries into this subject have not been extensive, but the best in forniauotj we have been able to ob tain, is, that a vote could n t be got by die commissi ners for workuig first upon the upper pari of the river? We would respectfully inquire the reason of this determination to work on the lower part first, and whether the present commissioners or s ina jority of them are men whose local situation gives them an interest in the navigation of the Ocmulgee ri ver : ori other words, ai interest in the nr -STieritv of Ma-on and Da rien—for, on the navigation ol* the riv“', depends *.n a great degree, the prosperity of those towns; and on their prxsperirv the u'.ilitj of su<*h navigation. f • • MMCTNIC ATEII j DIED—O ‘ Tuesdav !a., -t his tes; dence in Lexington.
