Congressional nomination il is useless to advocate the
claims Of MT Crawford to such nomination, It being
certain that any made II must fall on him. Besides,
by pressing the claims of that gentleman you incur the
risk Of alarming the feelings and encounterng the oppo
suon OF those hrm and honest men who have gone with
us nobly so far and willing to go with to the end,
but who are yet unaccountably welded to Mr. Clay or
driven from the resolutions they have concurred in in fa
vor OF caucus at Washington they may yet be induced
to give warm support TO the Electoral Law, if they be-
come satshed either that their candidates have chance
OF caucus nomination that determined to force
the claims OF MIR. Crawford Stick to principles; advo
cate the necessity of adherng the old forms and
tabshed doctrines OF the paryand express the utmost

stand alone. Still it seems to me that
have nothing gain and much to hazard by giving
this subject any farther excitement OF popular cha
racter-bu as Mi Bovine knows perfectly the state Of
things here, your Committee should confer with him
fully before they adopt any course definitely.


omitted to make another suggestion for Mr.. Noah
IL is not very servceable to talk much OF Burres Lew


sites, the Highminded Several of the two former
classes here amongst our best friends and as to the
latter Sudan, Bronson, and Wheeler are as true as
steel in the Senae-and Whiting Hosmer and several
others in the Assembly among our best and most
hopeful supporters in that House.


have not written to Mr.. Barker about his proposition
to voters for electors II has been mentioned to
veral but doubt the power of the Legislature to
it, and if they have it, we still more apprehensve Of
its policy for reasons which on reflection think will
