At the suggestion of a number of the

contemplated to hold town meeting for the
purpose of nominating candidate for the office
of Chief Magistrate of this country. Since IN

people, it becomes US not only to feel high
degree of interest upon such occasions, but to
employ every means in our power that we may

Mf. NrNaS EDwARDs who now occupies 50
conspicuous place in the current topics Of
the day, has at length reached Washington,
and already opened bis battery (as he says) in
the defensive, by a letter addressed to the
tors Of the National InteIligencer, design
to repel the imputations cast upon him. on
Count Of the strange. and seemingly unfair
inner in which he has conducted his late at
hex upon the Secretary Of the Treasury -
From his letter it appears that Immediately
Npon receiving the summons Of the House of
Representatives, which reached him on the
18th May. he made all possible haste to re-
urn TO the seat Of government, which he reach
ed on the 3is.: which certainly exonera,es
him from the charge Of dehtoriness in obey.
ing the summons of Congress He complains
most bitterly of the virulent hatred manifested
against him BY newspaper editors. &c. that he
aias been prejudged upon the floor of Con-
gress, and that he must now enter the lists
with such appalling and formidable adyanta-
ges against him." He next proceeds to shew
that the memorial sent from Wheeling, was
not, ia deed and truth, written until he arriv-
ed at that place. Mr. Crawford's report
which he firmly avows TO have been the sole
occasion Of bis defensive memorial, was SUBJ
united on the 22d March. He was not appris-
ed OF 1t until the morning of the Esd. The
Gath lie commenced his journey. And thus
argues that the memorial could not have been
prepared previous to his arrival at Wheeling
His visit to Fdwardsville. he avefs, to have
been necessary TO collect the necessary docu.
znents upon which to ground his defence
"My present task (says his letter) is to show,
LIST, that my conduct, in regard to the Bank Of
Edwardsville, has been fairly stated; Cd, tina.
did not swear falsely; and Sd, that the facts
which have alleged aryumentatively, in my
vindication against Mr. Crawford, are true.
All of this am able to do. and shall do, if
can have fair opportunity afforded me for
that purpose" Until which time, we think
Mr.. Edwards, as well as MIR. Crawford. has a
right to claim the suspension of the public o.

). The Presidemcy.--It is now pretty
certain that the election of our next
president will devolve on the house OF
representatives-The friends of Messrs
Crawford, Adams and jackson know
very well that either of them can be
elected if Mr.. Clay should be one of
The three from whom the, selection is
thus TO be made, and hence the papers
friendly to either Of the gentlemen first
named are laboilring with great zeal to
make the public believe. Mr.. Clay is out
Of the Guestion.--Itis for this reason
that we find the unfounded statement
in fhe last Telegraph that ''the presi-
dental question has narrowed down to
contest between VI Adams and Gen.
Jackson --Nothing can be, farther
from the. truth, than such declaration,
and we do not hesitate to say we think
Mr.. Clay stands better chance than
any other man, to receive the entire
vote of this s.ate.-Gen. jackson, so
far as New-York is concerned, is en-
phatically out of the market, and we be-
lieve there are good reasons why Mr.
Clay will be preferred TO either of the
others--The vote Of this state could
not benefit Mr. Crawford If he had them,
and ifthey are given to. Mr.. Clay, he
would without question be our next
president. great majority of our
members are known to be in favor Of
encouraging domestic manufactures,
those great national interests which
Mr.. Clay has laboured night and day TO
establish. We are aware that the oppo-
sition have attributed the vote on the
electoral bill TO corrupt bargain with
The agents of MIR Crawford. but does
the nomination of Samuel Young, for
governor, (who is an open and avowed
friend of Mr.. Clay,) sanction such an
opinionf- We do not hesitate to say
that the protested friends of Mr. Clay
are not deserving of this approbrious
charge, and they will make good this
assertion ! d November next, by giving
a firm and consistent vote for presi-
dent and vice president. a
