TllF. PRESIDENCY.
The time
The time is fast approaching when a
titmice most be made, either by the people
or ‘-their representatives in Congress, bf
e'eme person to fill the important' office of
chief magistrate of the nation. As conduc
tors of a publibjou’rnai, we have of course
bcen-in the way ot giving some attention to
jhis subject, and for two years past it has
Occupied no small portion of bur time snd
Observation. We have incessantly watched
the. pulse of public feeling In every section
oftfie union, and rndeavored to" ascertain
the preferences and prejudices of the peo
ple. ' Wo have examinra, with such ability
ns we possess, the evidences of talents,
■ characters, and merits of the several can
didates, whose names are before the public;
Ohd we conceive it to be a duty, imposed
Upon us from the station, we occupy, to
declare our impressions with candor, stat
tng as far as we can, the facts, from which
our opinions are derived, and leaving oth
ers to draw from those facts such iuferen
' Ces as their judgments shall dictate.
‘ Our remarks this week must be concise
and general. We believe then, that Mr
C wford is the only candidate nhocan jbe
dieted by the electoral colleges, and if he
is r im elected the choice must devolve on
tl House of Representative*. We fear a
ch ice by the House, if it could be effected
at **11. would be productive of dangerous
Consequences as it might result in an elec
lion by a small minority, and by arraying a
Wg< majority’ ot the people against the
ai ministration, might jeopardise the inter
ests and peace -if the nation. Therefore
1 wi t out particular reference to the charac
lers and merits of the candidates themselves,
wi should feel it our duty as citizens ol the
onion and as faithful republicans, to give
Onr aid under existing circumstances, to
pi mote the election of William H. Craw-
fin d. But we have other and more posi
tiva reasons for our preference. We pre
fer Mr Crawford, because we are convinced
that his talents, principles, habits and tern
per 5f mind render him better qualified to
Oil the office of President, than any of the
other candidates. We give him bqr sup
port, because he is the only candidate who
has received^ national nomination, in any
shape whatever, and because that nomina
tion was a fait and honorable one, in which
the friends of all the candidates were invi
ted to partake.'-. We give him our support,
because he was nominated according to the
usage of the democratic party, hnd comes
in at the national door, throb gh which Jeffer
son, Madison and Monroe . passed before
him. We give him our support, because
he is the candidate of the nation and not ol
a section of the country, and will not there-
loie, be likely to promote geographical
divisions. We give him our support, be
cause we believe him to be preferred by
the-old and faithful fathers of the dcmocra
tic party, such as Jefferson, Madison and
Monroe, and because thcii opinion8 V are
formed from personal acquaintance with
the candidate#
We give hrna onr support, because he
declined, contrary to the wishes of many of
his friends, to be considered a candidate for
the .presidency in 1816, when the vote be
tween Monroe and him was nearly equally'
divided, thereby giving an honorable proof
that he prefered the peace and prosperity
of the country to his own aggt$ndizement.
We give him our support, because, having
teen persecuted for two or three years
'With.the utmost malignity, his character
has brightened by the conflict, his official
integrity is proved, his patriotism is estaft
lished, and after his enemies have drag
ged him thrice before Congress and men
ofthe first talents i|H he Cation have labor-
, iously. investigated charges against him,
. boivorable men who are opposed to him are
constrained to say, tee find no fault in thit
man. We give him our support, because
we believe we areihereby promoting the
* v true interests ot this State anil ot the Un
ion.
We hove spoken—the occasion requires
it. And we feel a confluence that our repub
lican Iriunds in this State ..will ponder the
subject with the candor and solicitude which
its importance demands, and lie guided
by, reason and patriotism in their decisions.

United State*, sjid therefore liable tP be paid in
cish > A- point, w hich it seerna was heretofore
doubted by some. It is asserted that I.ang(lon
Cheves, late President of the Bank ofthe United
Stale* in the course of Ida examination ex
pressed himself in term* of high‘approbation,'in
regard to the conduct of the Secretary of the
Treasury, in the measures taken by him for tbe
collection and security of the public funds in the
western country, llow contemptible and ridicu
lous does Ninian Edwards appear in the eyes of
the people of thfc United States. He has put the
nation to a very heavy expense—made some seri
ous unsupported charges against e distinguished
officer of the government—pocketed $11,225, for
which he has rendered no equivalent—excited
tbe hopes and fears of the friends and enemies of
the Secretary ofthe Treasury—and wbat earthly
good has he effected) none! i—But what iqjury
has be not done f He has disgraced the. repre
sentative character—he has deceived the public—
he has emphatically ■ in relation to the
celebrated A. B. correspondence—.and when
brought to the teat, knows nothing /1 and objects
to being examined as a witness. Away with this

THE FRESIOENITAL NOMINATION.
How happens it, that the late meeting of Mem
bers of Congress at Washington, in order to
certain which ofthe several persons spoken of for
President was the most popular,and to recommend
him to the people of the Union, is so much abus
ed t Can it be merely because,the meeting wis
Ktten'ded only by the friends of Mr. Crawford l
This would certainly be unreasonable; for as all
tbe Republican Members of Congress were invi
ted to attend, if those* who preferred another to
Mr. Crawford, chose to keep sway,from a belief
that they alioald be-in a minority, this ought not
to lessen the respectability or efficiency 'of the
meeting. But, perhaps, if we look a little further
into the matter, we shall find a more substantial
reason for the oblcijuy cast upon this meeting. It
is tbe interest of a large body of influential citi
zens of this country to. put down this meeting, or
any other.calculated to concentrate the Republican
Interest. These men, ever since the election of
Mr. Jeflerson to Jhe Presidency -(which could not
have been effected but by a concentration of tbe

of another, and Capt, Blenkame was order

to form an encampment in the Akine coun
try. Coomassie, the capital of Ashantee, is
