The Euhlic, who have been led to believe by
all the presses in the interest Of the treasury
caucus that the investigation of the committee OF
congress just closed would end in the complete
destruction Of Mr. Edwards and the disgrace OF
the administration, will be astonisned when they
find by the report. tina. Mr. Edwards has been
sustained in everg material allegation, and that
the administration has not been implicated even
by the remotest allusion to the great mass oftes-
timony which has been submitted to the exarni.
nation of the committee 1t is clearly estab-
lished, that the letter from the receiver at Ed.
wardsville, which neither Mr.. Crawford nor his
clerks could remember to have received, was ac-
tually writen by the receiver; it was hardly
within the scope ofevidence to preue that It bad
been recsiped, if Mr. Crawford chose TO deny it.
The loans to the banks in the District Of Column
bis, contrary both to law and precedent, and at
the risk Of serious losses to the UStates are also
admitted By the committee to have been fully
proved These were the two main points OF
Mr. Edwards's allegations against the secretary
Of the treasury, and they are substantiated BY
the most ample proof. Nat Journal

THE REPORT.

zS.e las, Repor, of the Committee Of Tnvesii.
s,.t,an is before our readers. II IS rather mea-
Gre document and has fallen short of the hopes
of MIR Crawforcs friends, as it contains no de-
nuuciaiiou Of Ninian Edwards Moderate men
a all parties, we believe, however, will be
satisfied. 1t acquits Mr. Crawford; and It was
no part of the duty of the Committee to pass
Judgment upon the character Of Edwards. AS
the Committee have RETAINED from passing
structures on the conduct OF Edwards, SO, nei-
Their has it bestowed sny lofty enconiums on Mr.
Crawford. 1t seems studiously to have avoided
all extremes. They have complimented Mr.
Crawford, by approving OF bis general manage
men, OF the public treasury; they exonerate
him from all bad motives; and they ascribe the
losses which have been sustained. to causes
which would probably have produced them,
under the management of any Secretary. Mr.
Crawford, therefore, has every reason to be sa-
tisfed, and it is time for his friends to cease
the cry of his persecution. lie has had ample
justice awarded him, both as to bis acts and in
tentiors. Con. Whg.
