Hu', it is p ssihle, that the pro

which has b eii anticipated, and
Whi h is necessary to the full ftpera
lion of the Sinking Fund, may not

public expenditure authorized by
law may, the Ist of January,

The remedy in such ease must
be—l s * ao inn-ease of the public

of flie Mirking Fund.

To the People of Georgia.
IN naonhg ‘o you, my fellow t-iii
zrns, one Hnong (he number of di
peraous wb* are preaea!-
ed ta you as qualified so fill ihe pre
sidential chair, I am guided by the
only motives which ought to idAu
cnee every eitizeo iu his seleelion
f such au important and distingui
shed officer. My wish is to have
the doctrines of the old republican
school preserved in (heir excellent e
a and usefulness as wlieo adopted i<
1801—and 1 should not dare to re
romired to my fellow eitzeos, uer
to support myself, at.y of our disting
uished statesmen whom I did not
believe would adhere to them in
principle and io practice. 1 think
1 have examined the political char
acter of every candidate with such
minuteness as qualifies me to express
an upioioo ol comparative qualifi
cations in that point. lam ijearly
of opinion that William H. Claw
fold. of Georgia, is pre-eminently
I qiu>l.tied far the office of President
ot the United Buue*j became 1 ba
lleve him to be an independent and
consistent democratic republican;
an intelligent, honest and com ilia
tory statesman. The enmity which
has been manifested towards Mr. *
Oawford in this state, you are all
aware, arises from considerations of
a personal nature aggravated by the
enlistment of partizans under the
auspices of a popular name—not
that ‘hpy dislike him, but they loved
another. Mr. Crawford’# great po
litical character has not been in any
degree involved in this personal
•u ife—and in the discussion of his
political merits, the occasions a. and
irritations of this strile, should not
and shall sot be introduced. But
in allusion to the party and person
al prejudices in Georgia, against
Mr, Crawfctrd, it may not ho impro
per to remark that some of the most
de. ided and influential friends of Mr.
Craw ford’s chief opponent, have av
owed themselves as decidedly the
friends of Mr. Crawford’s election
to the Presidency. This is as it
shoulo be. Personal and Ic. al party
feelings should be dissolved aud for
gotten when in conflict with great
political party cbligntioas. The
views of men in regard to men
should be passed to oblivion, when
the general good requires accord
and unariiuity.
I claim for Mr. Crawford aa elec
tion to (be Presidential chair, be
cause ho is a eonsisiet.! republican,
an intelligent, honest Sc oueiliatory
statesman. In evideote of these
merits, my fellow citizens, 1 will
trace the principal acta f his publio
life, and let “fads be submitted” to
your car-did consideration. In Mr.
i raw ford’s earliest year#, be was
racked by bis fellow students and
associates, as a de< ided republit an.
In the year 1798. (be government
of France the-, under the vacillati
o? 9 of a ievolution, assaulted wan
toi iy the high and merited privi
leges of our youcg republic. The
dis’i guislied men of the country’
were detracted in their opi/ ions of
the edirte proper to be put sued in
relatitio to these aggressions. Gra
titude for the interest the French
government had taker in our revo
lutionary struggles, op rated io one
vvey ; at and a strict sense of our mer
ited t ights, a# a free find indepen
dent nation, operated iu another
way, to affect the minds of the A me
in an pe pie. in ibis state of an
xiety and painful solicitude, Gener
al VVashiiigton decided that our in
hei eui rights ought not to be savri
fi-ed to personal at tan foments and
made a tender of his military talents,
to assume for the nation an attitude
of defence.
Various asso. iatioas were formed
throughout the several U. Slates;
and tenders of service or support
to the administration against se
foreign aggressions were forwarded
from ail quarters Mr. Crawford
was ore of these associations formed
in Augusta, Georgia, io which re
publicans and federalists united in a
common cause. Mr. Crawford us
a republican was made the chairman
of a com mi t tee to address the Pre
Bident of the United States, on this
subject of national interest, and to
afford the administration greater
confidence that in this difficulty and
under such trireumstaoees, party dis
tinctions were laid aside—-for all as
pired to the honor of doing publio
good* Mr, Crawford was after
wards elected from Oglethorpe
county to the state legislature, in
which be acted with sm-h digit ‘y.
and decision of eharater as entitled
him to rank next to Geo. Ja< ksnn
and Mr. Abraham Baldwin, as the
head of the republican party in
Georgia. In 1806, Mr, Crawfmd
( in testimony of his admiration of
the poliiical course of Mr. Jeffer
son) introduced into the state legis
lature a resolution expressing the
desire ol the people of Georgia, that
\lr. Jefferson would consent to serve
another Presidential term after that
for which he was already elected
should expire. ‘This resolution was
unauiDi ‘ii'-iy adopted lo 107, as
a very distinguished repul:bcan t Mr.
Crawloid was elected by the legis
lature f Georgia to he < ne of her
senators in Congress. VV hiie in this
station be a f qui.ed the highest con
fidence of his senatorial a*s ciates,
afcd was tcpeaiedly made (heir tem
porary president. Mr. JTf.rson,
while President of the United States
recommended to Congress, the a
doproß of iht embargo system
Mr. Crawford iu hi place asked for
a few days deliberation on the pro
posed measure, urging it to be re
quisite for ihe pur;>use of fair ad
useful iegtalaiiou to be oiruuni&peci,
cautious, to examine, analyze xrfl
reflect and oot to ado|'i su ii an iai
port art measure hastily. In oppo-*
i silion to this argument, Mr, Ari*oM
then a senator from Massachusetts,,
who was a raw recruit in kw
of demorraey, said the President
had recommended (hi* nte&snre. am!
that vva* u ffieienf —he had relief ted
and compared, it was tor Congress
to act on fiis judgment. Now, which
of these was most consistent with
republican practices, the coutse of
Mr. Crawford, or that * f Mr. Ad
ams? The one was independent ;
! the other was subservient. When
i Mr. Crawford had deliberated on
the subject, he betaine as a
supporter of the President’s meas
ure, as any senator in Congress. I
the administration of Mr. Madison*
the re-chartering of the hank of (ho

Crawford in opposition to seme and

were god republicans. Ihe tank

and Cheves. Several measures pro

Madison, have not met the &pp< eb*-

And what was Mu M dison’s judg

unequivocal expression of esiuhiish
ed ¥■< fidenee iu Mr. Crawford’s

It 1813. Mr. Madison uppointed
Mr. Crawford oii dsier to the court
of Frasiee—that tame nation which
Mr. Crawford had in 179 , pledged
himself to oppose in its infractions
of American righ s. The period of
Mr. Crawford’# embassy o France,
was one of trial and embarrassment
—it wasa period of political revolu
tions and civil commotions. It was
necessary for our minister to u**fc

this was done, fc*ery duly that
