DEWITT CLINTON

Whatever may be the political errors of De-
| witt Clinton, we greatly doubt if he is not the
greatest man, and one who has done more TO
| immortaiize the present age in America, than
any other man in it. OF all the monuments
which Louis xiv. proudly imagined he had
raised to his immortality-his battles, his con-
quests, the erection of edifices, and the extern
| sion of Empire-of all which History has re.
corded, or Poetry triumphantly sung-thc Ca
! .lal of Languedoc alone lives, to rescue him
| from the herd of Kings who repose among the
dead, absolutely forgotten, or absolutely hated.
We say, that when such men as Mcssrs. Bow
man, Sudan, Stranahan & 60. are absolutely
forgotten-when posterity, from the neglect of
History, shall be entirely ignorant that they
ever lived-when their acts and their lives, like
those Of Louis the 18th, except the Canal of
Langucdoc, are quite forgottcn-DewittC Gin
ton will live in the widely diTussd blessings of
the New York Canal.
For Id years Mr.. Clinton has acted as a Ca
nal Commissioner.-To l,is influence is ascriba
bile that sudden and irresistible impulse, which
took forgranted, the practicability of the enter
prize, and determined 10 effect it. To his de.
cison arc ascribahle the energetic measures
which followed to his Judgment, the hazardous
course, of beginning in the mjddie, and thus TO
render every thing that was done useless, unless
the whole scheme was accomplished.
To the completion of this great design, which
scarcely has its parallel on earth, he has deyo-
ted all his faculties---sll his time. banISrupt
in fortune, he has disdained 10 receive any ne
cuniary compensation for his services TO his
country and posterity. What has been his re
ward?
The last act of the last Session of the N. York
Legislature, was to remove Dewitt Clinton.
from the honorary post of Canal Commissioner.
Without enquiry, or debate,-without the ALE
cation ola single chargc-when this affected ST.
euce in consequence of the late defacation of
Nyron Holly, was more injurious to him. than
specific charges could have been--the Legisla-
turc III consequence of plans matured in eau
cus, proceeded to remove him from this station
of honorary Commissioner. In the most violent
Of party times, the u. States have witnessed
no act of party rage so violent, or arbitrary
The cause of Mr.. Clinton's removal, is said TO
be- his opposition to Mr.. Crawford and the fac
ton, who have lorded il so extravagantiy at
Albany, during the last session.
This act has put the whole State Of New York
into flame. Meetings arc called in the CITY,
IN Albany, and i'll other places, to sustain Mr..
Clinton, and disapprove the onunciation ofthe
Legislature. We should not wonder lift even
tuatcd in the complete overthrow and prostra-
tion of The Van Buren, party, which has been
guilty Of this act Of gratuitous and outrageous
violence AMI prescription. Quem deus UM

NM Monroe dcnics hav!, Q received any such letter

now III the possession of Gales and Seaton EVIDENT
~ refers TO letter received from Gen. jackson, Of
me same import as tire to which Mr.. Lowric
'ers as having been read to him by the President.
nut how came Mr.. Lowrie by this private letter
Oh the President to Gen. jackson? Mr.. Lowrie de-
e'tes' that 1t was sent to him, anon ynous, from
'his eny-by some person, who authorized him to
use 1t, in the Of truth and in his own sef.de-
renee. MIR. Lowrie himself, therefore, came by il
ably, and we cammend the honest zeal, which
piacedin the hands of injured innocence, the wea-
pens OF self-deence II is unnecessary to enquire,
now the President lost possession of this dscument

It. All this is immaterial. Suffice it to be known
'''"' mere as such letcr-tiiat it was evidently
written IN answer to one he had received f,om Gem
Jackson, much of the character which MIR. Lowrie
has ascribed to it-and that it is placed where nh

ana OIL us complete Justification of Mr. Lowre's We.
racity. We have no doubt, that Mr.. Lowrie came
by this letter, as lac states in his communication.
honestly, and unavodably. Were we to hazard !,
conjecture, how it was translated fom the Presi
den possession, we should say that i, was by his
own voluntary, but forgotten aci, and not by the f
| lonious act of another.
Inc truth then seems to be-that Gen. Jackson
lid write such letter-that MIR. Monroe received
| and read ii to Mr.. Lowrie-that he afterwards
from some unknown cause, denied to Mr.. Kremer
that he had received it-that Mr. Lowrie's yeractv
was consequently, publicly impeached-and that
Mi. Lowrie for his own vindicaton, has subscouent
y established the fact, that lac had in his
letter of the President in his own hand write oa-
dressed 90 Gen Jackson which Is an ansrcr 10 sueh
letter as Mr. Loaorie described as Ioriar been read

1t appears further; that there is some mystery at
tending the loss of this letter by the Presidentand
that his friends are attempting to effect his retreat
under favor OF the dust, thus colaernly kickedip
as Mars in the confusion of the general battle res
cued Venus from the sword of Diomed.

MIR. EDWARDS AND MIR. cRAw FORD

Mr.Edwards,the Ambassador to Mexico,in long
communication to the House of Representative, re-
iterates his charges of malversation against Mr.
Crawford, and confesses himself to have been the
author of the famous A. B. communication, durinr
the last session of Congress. What the heads of
this communication are, may be inferred from the
article we publish from the Washington Repub
can-to what they VIII lead, cannot yet be conjec-
tured. On motion of Mr.. Floyd Of Va. the letter
of MIR. Edwards referred to a select committee,
consisting of Messrs. FLOYD, LIVINGSTON
RANDOLPH, WEBSTER, TAYLOR, NEAR
THUR, and OWEN. In the Debate which led te
this result, Mr.. Edwards memorial, and Mr.. Ed

by Messrs. Floyd and Forsyth. Mr.. Edwards let
