In this state Mr. Crawford is hawked about as the "exclusive Republican candidate." In the New-England states he is supported by the leading Hartford-Convention-Federalists, and by them alone, on the ground that he is not a party man. In this and the Eastern states, he is said to be friendly to the encouragement of domestic industry; in the Southern states he is declared to be dead against the Tariff law. What are we to understand by these contradictions? Does Mr. Crawford literally adopt the language of St. Paul, and become "all things to all men?"
