Has he not warned us, that no distinctions are so safe as whig and tory?" in other words democrat and federalists. "!las he not anlmonished us that the advantages to be deriveo Irom admitting our enemies into the camp are yet to be proved? hethor the surrender ol our opponents, their reception into our camp, iheir assumption ol our name, and APi'Ahent accession to our objects, may strengthen or weaken the genuine principles of republicanism may be a good or an evil, is yet iu be seen! P* '1 he hand writing on the wall was not more emphatic than this indication of his opinion that the admission of such men as J. Q.

From the rapid manner in which we have been obliged to cast our eyes over this important document, we are only able to give an impeifect summary of its contents. Mr. bdwards complains that this report, although called lor at the fiist session ol the last congress, has been delayed until the present session, and that, too, until after it was understood that he had left the city, on his way home, preparatory to his embarkation for Mexico. He goes into a trano of reasoning, supported Ly extracts from a coriespondence between him and tho secretary of the treasury, and other documentary evidence, to show that what he stated before the committer, the 11 uth of which he considers Mr. Crawford as questioning, is true. He particularly refers to letters which passed between them more than a year belore he gave his testimony to the committee, in which he expressly stated the same facts and the receipt of which Mr. Crawford acknowledges, withoot, in any degree, denying the? truth of the statements, so made.
