Not because he is a better rijo ir, a finer writer, or a more eloquent speaker, )nn either of the other candidates for the Presidcnv : by t because we believe him to be an honest man, f stern republican, a warm patriot, consistent polijcnn, and an able statesman; and because we be- ) ve hiru to be eetter qualitd 'think of that' Mr. J'tre. to l)rh;iree the tlutits of that important fre thaneitheroftheotherapirantt.

EMwctriTiov. The General Assembly of Rhode Inland have assented to the resolution passrd some time Htice by the State of Oiiio, winch provides for the gradual rmancipationof slaves in the United States. The Assembly express an opinion that a system of Portion colonization ndhtt be adopted, that ''would in due time effect the entire emancipation of the slaves in our rountry,without any violation of the national compact, or infringement of the rights of individuals: bj' a passage of a law by the general government, with the consent of the slave holding States, which should provide that all children of persons now held in slavery, born after the passage of such law, shall be free at the age of 21 years (being supported during their minority by the persons claiming the service of their parents) provided they consent to be transported to the intended place of colonization." For our own part wc cannot but highly approve of such a measure, if there be any prospect of its being carried into effect "nith the consent of the slave hold' ing slates." It would work the redemption of many an oppressed African, and finally free our nation from the curse of slavery, than which deliverance nothing can be more desirable. B uton Tclegwph. From the Chillicoth Timet. The committee who were appointed to investigate the charges of Mr. Edwards, against the Hon. Wm. II. Crawford, reported on the '25th ult. from which we extract tiic following. It is due to Mr. Edwards, however to state that he did not arrive at Washington until Friday the 23th ult. the day after Congress adjourned, in consequence of which, provision was made

for retaining the committee until his arrival, in order to give him a fair opportunity of substantiating his charges. We may expec t a final report of the committee in a very short time. First That the ev idence referred to and examined, does not support the charge of having mismanage d the public funds. Second That the uncurrcnt notes, mentioned in the second charge, appear, by evidence satisfactory to the committee, to have been received and deposited by the Public Receivers, at a time when they were receivable under the resolution of Congress of 1816. That, in the principal case, tliat of the bank of Missouri, the bank

did not mate itself responsible for such II

notes as cash, and, therefore, the Secretary was bound to receive them from the bank; that, although the banks of Tombeckbee and Edwardsville were liable to account for such deposites as cash, if the construction which the committee gives to their contracts be correct, yet, that both the Secretary and the banks expressed a different opinion as to the meaning of those contracts, and that the Secretary in receiving 15,600 from the one, and 20,000 from the other of those banks, appears to have acted according to what he supposed to be the rights of the parties, and with a proper regard to the interest of the U. States, under the circumstances which then existed. TJiird That no intentional misstatement has been made to the house of the uncurrent bills received from the banks; although a sum of $280 of such bills was omitted through mistake. Fourth That, although the Secretary may have misconstrued the effect of some of the contracts with the banks to the extent before mentioned, the committee find no grounds for the charge that he has mis

represented them, inasmuch as the con

tracts themselves were submitted, with the report to the house.

Fifth Thatsthe Secretary did omit to communicate toongressthe reasons which

led him to direct the deposite of public moneys in the local banks of Chillicothe, Cincinnati, and Louisville, where the hank of the U. S. had branches, but there is no reason for supposing that any concealment was intended, or that the omission was occasioned by design. Sixth That, in some instances, papers called for by resolutions of the house have not been communicated with other papers sent in answer to such calls, but that these omissions have happened either from accident, or from a belief that the papers so omitted were immaterial or not called for; and that there is no evidence that any document or information has been withheld from improper motives. Having already expressed the opinion that this investigation ought not to be terminated, until the person prefering the charges shall have been examined, and regretting the circumstances which render such an examination impracticable during the present of Congress, and thinking that .Mr. Edwards may be expected at Washington within a few days, the committee feel it their duty to recommend tc tbe house that they be required to sit after the adjournment, for the purpose of taking his examination, if an opportunity shall be presented.

I have within the two lat yean had an opportunity of seeing several ea. of very inveterate ulcer, which having resisted previously the regular modes of treatment were healed hv the use of Mr. Swaim's Panacea, and I do believe from what I have seen, that it will prove an important remedy in scofulous, veneral and mercurial disease. N. CHAPMAN, M. D. Professor of the Institutes and Practice of Physic in the University of Penn'a. I have employed the Panacea of Mr. Swaim in numerous instance, within the last three years, and havealways found it extremely efficacious especially in secondary syphilis, and mercurial diseases I have no hesitation in pronouncing it a medicine of inestimable value.
