corns of the government w*t|i more

Crawford did. I farther remarked
* E Governor Kdwards, in speaking
; of his nominal inn, that, inasmuch
| as he was iiotpi ated bv the l J
t dent, unless some charge was bro’t
ngaiosi him, I had already evinced
i in the Senate my disposition to vote
I for the co fi-malioTi of his nomina
: tion. without anv previous consul

bad the p wee o* making the ooin
ina-ion, I would 11 it irive nominated
hfn; and, as an evidence of it. I
had written a Ip-tec fn Monroe,
urging the nomination -f William
Henry Harrison, and with that let
ter I had en losed the unanimous
recommendation of the members of
Ibe Legislature of Indiana in favor
of Gen. Harrison.
Question bv Mr. Conk When
Guv. F.dwards mentioned t y.u
that be received information of what
the Senate W'as doing, did be not
es 1 lie same time observe that tie
was a member of the Senate, and
had a right to know what they were
doing as much as any other mem
bet ?
A. If he made that observation,
I do not recollect it. He might
nave done so.
Q. When you bad this oonver a
lion with him, bad not the Rich
mond Fnquirer on that, or some
day not long before, been received
i*i mis eiiy. containing an allegation
that Mr. I'd wards, *(be author of
the A, B. plot,” had been nomina
ted as Minister to Mexico.? andean
you say positively that the denial
of the authorship on the part of
Mr. Rdwards did not relate to the
plot instead of the writings (hem
selves under that signature? and did
not the conversation grow out of
that publication?
A. I saw an article in the Rkh
mond E quirer, stating that Nmian
Fdward*, the‘-author of \. B ’* or
•*of A. B. plot memory,” (I do
•>ot recollect which,) had been so
l nominated. The paper 1 aw at
the boarding house of Q ieen,
ad I think in the bads of Mr. Kl
kins; whether it was before the
conversation with Governor !*d
warda, or afterwards. I do not dis
• tindly recollect. lam inetb ed to
think it was after the eonversaUo ;
but I am very well satisfied, dint,
in the conversation with G vernor
E. when he declared himsdf not
to be the auihor of \. B. ad pled
ged his honor to the declaration,
that I imdersto’d bun o have an
explicit reference to the numbers
signed V B. which appeared in
the Washington Republican; and I
40 understood him, because lie bud
reference to the rep rts -*f the two
t-orumiiteps who examined into that
itibje*‘t at the previous session of
tbingregs. No allusion whatever
was made in lliis couversatioo t the
artif-le in the Richmond Enquirer.
Q. fn the course of ibe conversa
tion. was reference made to any
particular numbers of Uie publica
tions signed A. B.
A. r l here was not.
Q. Was die name of Geo. Cocke
at a’l introduced?
A. It was not.
Q. When did you first mention
the couversatioo you have now re
peated as huvi.ig passed between
yourself and Gov. Edwards? aud lo
whom?
A. According to the best of my
r collect ion, I never repeated it to
any person u* til the evening of the
diy thai I was informed that Gov.
Edwards’s address was p-eseuted
! to the House of Representatives—
I wi that evening, in cnnveratio
i vvi>h several **f ihem- mbers of that
j H use, amongst whom wei-o Mr.
, Reed and Mr, Nelson—some of
! whom said that G *v. Edwards bud
! av wed tiini'elf 10 be he au(h<*r >f
\. B. and others said thai he had
not do e so, I remarked that they
most have misunderstood ihe ad
dress. for (c*v. had pled
i ged h\* honor tn me iiiai he was uot
, ibe an Hi or oi V B. —in tiie s-ttue
: evmiog I made Qie same remark lo
1 bh. Eikms.
Q Did you menlio 1 the sj|?*jei
to any member of the Senate ?
A. Not wliilebis nomination w.x
pending, nor before bis address* ap
peared—afterwards I sp-ke of it,
without reserve.
Q l perceive From the Richmond
Knq.iirer that a leter, purporting
to have been written in ihe Senate
Chamber, and dated April 26. ISl't,
states, that ‘M -. N T . Edwards de
clared to Mr. Noble, Senator fr on

that plan wa* executed ?

Q Did you understand the*- ‘ivctv

of the integrity aud vigilance of thtu
S* -retary of the ‘Treasury, and

A. I have heard him allude to*
those publications, and mention his
bring charged wif h the authorship of
them,
Q. State wha: took place.
A. I think it was au article id
