ifit should eventually
, '.Hippek, >v .r’i that of t e Bank of the
TV.vcri ; fates, of other banks, ami of
itulivititrals, arising in the same part
of the country, from similar causes,
the committee is of opinion, that the
result does not shew in the Treasury
Department any want either of fideli
ty or prudence in the management of
tnepublic funds.
The other division of the charge
contained,in the address, relates to
the alledged suppression, or withhold
ing of papers called for by different
resolutions of the Houses of Congress*
One specification under this head
is that relating' to the correspondence
between the Secretary and Mr. Ste.
phensnn, the President of the Ed*
wardsville Bank. The opinion of the
committee on that subject has been
already given, and need not be re
peated.
Another relates to the correspond
cnee with the s-’V: r. W banks, gene
rally The charge is, that material
parts of it were retained, when all
was called for by the House.
The first call was made on the 9th
of January, 1«22, and was, as the
committee tliinir. limited in its proper
construction to a requisition for the
correspondence relative to the con
tracts for making depositee. In this
way, the Secretary says, he under
stood it but that he did, nevertheless
transmit letters not directly embraced
by the resolution, but which, lie
, thought, were necessary to elucidate
the subject.
The nest resolution was on the 12th
of arch in the same year; and the
only correspondence it called for.was
that with tne Missouri Bank, and
■ there is no reason to believe that this
was not substantially complie with*
A third call was'made in the same
year, on the 8th of May, requiring the
correspondence with all tne banks
that had not before be communica
ted.
The committee have not been able
to discover, in the last very volumin
ous return to this last resolution any
material letters not before coinmuni
cated, e cept a circular instruction
to the western Banks, directing them
to note, on the back o each return of
the Treasurer’s account, a descrip
tion of the moneys credited in such
return, and the amount of each ac
cording o a form of return therein
given*. This form is the same with
that in which the return referred to
in Mr. Edwards’s address, marked E,
is made out This.circuniBtanee would
seem-to give a greater weight to the
evidences to bedrawn from that paper
considering it as an official document
intended tor the treasury, undo the
agreement.
Another charge of suppression, in
cidentally made, but which the com
mittee deem it proper to notice,relates
to a report made by the Secretary, in
obedience to a resolution of the House
of the 31st December. 1«19, calling {
for such information as he possessed
- in relation to the introduction of i
and twenty thousand dollars from the other,
r those hanks, appears tohttve acted ac
cording to iVhat he supposed to Mb the
rights ofihe parties, nod with a proper re
gard to tilt interest ol the United Stales,
•inder the citcotmtanccs which then cxis
ted.
Third. 1 That no ialcntiarur misstate
went has been mode to the House-, of the
ataount of uncut-rent bills received from
the banks; although a sum of two hundred
and eighty dollars of such bills was omitted
•liWugh tnUtuke.
Fourth. That, although the Sccrc ary
may have misconstrued the effect of some
if the cotitrarts with the banks to ihe extent
before mentioned, the committee find no
grounds for tho charge that he has misre
presented them, inasmuch as the-contracts
•hemselvcs were submitted, with the re
port, to ths Hotise.
Fifth. That the Secretary did omit to
communicate to Congress the reasons which
led him lo direct the depositc of public mo
neys in the three local banks of Uhillicothc,
Cincinnati, and I> utisviilo, where the Bank
of the United States had branches, but
there is no reason for supposing that any
concealment was intended, or that the om
iasion wes occasioned by design.
Sixth* That, in some instances papers
called for by resolutions of the House have
not be. n communicated with other papers
sent in aiiswer to such calls, but that these
omissions have happened either fromacci
dent, or from a belief (hat the papers so o
mitted Wore immaterial or not called for :
and that there is no evidence that any doc-
u > ent or information has been withheld
from improper motives
Having already exrcssed the opinion that
his investigation ought not to be tormina
ted, until the person preferring tho char
ges shall have been examined, and regret
ug the circumstances which render such
n examination impracticable during the
present session of Congress, and thinking
i at Mr Edwards may be expected at
Washington, within a lew days, the com
utcc fuel it their duty to recommend to
- e House that they be required to sit nfier
■»e adjournment, for the- purpose of taking
■T« examination, if an opportunity shall be
presented.

f money in the western bntikr.and Mr. Edwards’

TueaIjukt Department,
20/A March 1824
The Secretly ol the Treasury has had
tho honor to receive the letter addressed to
him, on ihe 12th insl by tho Hon. Mr.
Livingston, on behalf of a select Commit
cc of the House of Representatives.
\a-the correspondence with Mr. D. B.
VthclKil, to which the Committee refers,
.ough relating partly to public transac
tions, was unofficial; it was not placed on
ecord In trie Treasury Department. And
on examination, it appears that only two of
tne iectleis included in it have b^en pre
•erved These are Mr Mitchell’s letters
I the 19’.li of February, and 28th of April
818; the former of wnich lias been found
n the files ol the Department, and the lat-
slaves into the United States. On Iter among the private papers of the Se
this point, the committee add eased ‘ -ertary. They are both transmuted here-
an inquiry to the Secretary, and re-! with.
ceiveu frofn.him the answer annexed T>> explain the circumstance of public
to this report, marked E>
Although they m ot upimofi that there
were papers in tt.-c Department cont-unuig
' information cull'd .for by the refutation,
and which ought to have been communi
cm. -., yet, Judging f-otrt the statement
male by the Secretary, in hisinswe , c. n-
m eted with the fact, that the paper* in
question were c .-•vmur.ci.t «l to the Attor-
nev Gt-nmal, it is the opinion of the com
mitter t in *he omission was not caused
by.a U -sign to screen the person implica
ted from punishment or blame.
As to the other esses in which the Sec
retary is oharged in the add.ess, wit > hav
ing suppressed or withheld papers or in
formation call: d f< r by the Houses of Con-
K s, the committ -e is of opinion, that, al
ough papers c» ning within the scope of
the resolutions, or call, were not, in some
instances, rommunioued, such omissions
were et her the result of accident, or of a
belief on the part of the 9ecr< tars, or of
the persons nec-sBarily employed bv him
on such occasions, that the papers so omit
ted were not called fir , or were not mate
rial i and the committee have seen no evi
dence that any documents or information
has been withheld fro n the House, from
the operation of any improper motive or
design.
Referring to what has been said in
thfc introduction to this report, and
repeating that Mr Edwards has not
bad ah opportunity of supporting his
chatges by his presence and testimo
ny, ihe result bl the fiats which have
appeared to the committee, thus lur,
in this investigation; and of' their de
ductions from them, when applied to
the recapitulation ol charges,as stated
at the end ol the address, is:
First, That the evidence referred
to and examined, does not support the
charge of having mismanaged the
public funds.
Second. That the uncurrent notes;
mentioned in the second charge, ap
pear, by ^evidence satisfactory to the
committee, to have been received and
deposited by the Public Receivers, at
a time when they were recivable
der the resolution of Con gross of 1816.
That, in the principal case, that of
Missouri, the bank did not make itsd
^responsible for such notes as cash, and,
the-efore, the Secretary was bound to
receive them from the bank : that,
although the banks olTombeckbe and
Ed wardsville were liable to account for
such deposites as cash,if the construe
lion which the committee gives to.
their contracts be correct, yet, that
both the Secretary and the banks ex
pressed a different opinion as to the
meaning of those contracts, and
that the Secretary, in receiving fif
men thousand dollars from (he one,
natters being introduced into an unofficial
corrc*pondcoce between two public officers,
it is’prnper to stale that Mr Mitchell, hav
ng been Governor of Georgia, and having
for many years taken an active part in the
public affairs of that state, had long been
personally well known to the Secretary; and
that during the Secretary’s residence at
Washington, though his own duties left
him but hi ie leisure for private correspon
dettee, Mi Mitchell had been in the habit
ol wri'ing to him freely and frequently ; in*
inducing into his letters, as may naturally
he supposed from the former and actual sit
uation of the parties, a variety of topics,
both of a public and local character. It is.
also, to be ohserved, that, although Mr.
Mitchell, us Indian Agent, was not preclu
ed from any official correspondence with
the Secretary of the Treasury, yet, as it
was the War Department to which, under
me President, he was officially accountable,
it was to that Department that hts commu
nicauons, in relation to his public duties,
were properly to he addressed. And it ap
pears by a a publication, which has since
been made by Mr VliicheU, that, on the 3d
and 18th of February, 1818, he commum
cated ifificially to the Secretary of War,
the saute information!), in substance, res
pccting his conduct in relation to the Afri
cans, us was contained in his private letter
of the I9ih of February, to the Secretary of
the Treasury.
An examination of Mr Mitchell’s letters,
of the 19th of February and 28th of April,
will shew 'hat they were not merely unof
fici.d. but, in part, at least, private and
c ufidehtial Tho letter of the 25th of
December, 1817*, wnich is the only other
letter of Mr Mitchell requited by the com
mittee, is believed to have been of the same
character; but, in what degree, is not now
recollected.
Although it was no part of the duty of
Secretary of the Treasury to have taken of
facial cognizance of the subject of Mi.
Mitchell's letter, of the twenty-fifth of
December, even if the letter had been offv
cial, yet he submitted it to the Ptesidcm
and as the circumstances communicated in
it appeared to show a delect in the existing
I-tws on the subject, he submitted it, also,
lo a Committee of the Senate which had
been appointed to inquire into the expedi
ency of making further provisions by law
for preventing the introduction of slaves
Whether the letter was returned to the
Secretary by that committee, or what dis
position was finally made of it, he is now
unable tn state, lie has written, however,
to Mr Roberts, who was Chairman of that
committee, for-such information as he can
furnish; and when the answer it received
it shall be communicated to tho Commit?
tec.
Thq additional r.irrnmstnnccs disclosed
in Mi* MncficlP* letter of thp I9 h >.f Ft",
induced the Secretary to submit it,, to the
\ttorney General; and while it was* before
him, tho letter of the Collector of Dario'.',
of the Sth-of Marclv Ittk8, containing hi*,
official report of the seizure of the Africans
<vas received, and was also submitted to the
•Attorney General, As the Opinion of tin
Attorn -y General recommended that the
cose should be.left to ihe decision of the
Courts, before which it was then supposed
to be pending, the Secretary informed Mr.
Mitchell of the fact; presuming that, as far
as the Secretary was concerned, the affair
was then terminated: as, indeed, it soon al-
tai* was, by the delivery of the Africans to
the executive authority of Georgia. As
this letter was written in answer to unoffi
cial letters, and, probably, contained ally
sions to some of the private matters notic
cd in those letters, ^ was riot made official:
and, conscquently v .yvas not placed on thc're-
cords qf the Treasury Department. C>
pics of unofficial letters are rarely retained
by the Secretary!"and, of this letter, none
was taken.
The opinion of the Attorney General,
however, was filed in the Department: and,
it appears, that with it were filed the pa
pers upon which the opinion was founded,
viz Mr Mitchell’s letter of the l9.hofFeb.
and the letter of the Cullrptor of Darien of
the 9th of March.
Thorc is reason to believe that it was
owing to the circumstance of these papers
having been filed with the opinion of the
Attorney General, that the letter ot the
Collect r ol Darien was overlooked when
the papers were collected to be transmitted
under the resolutionof the H. of R. of tho
31st of December, 1819 It will be seen
by the endorsements made on the original
resolution | which is herewith transmitted
by the Secretary and Mr Jones, the Cltiel
Clerk of the D-purtmcnt, that the duly of
collecting the papers called lor by the reso
lotion was assigned by the Secretary to the
Chief Clerk, and was performed by him.
And, by the interlineation in his hand wri
ing , in the original rough draft of the Se
cretsry's report, under that resolution
[which is herewith transmitted'] it will be
seen that the report passed through his
hands from the Secretary to the House.—
From the lapse of time, that gentleman Is
not now able to explain why the Collector’s
letter, of the 9th ol March, was not trans
mitted with the other letters! but the prob
ability is, that; in collecting the papers re
S uircd, his examination was confined to the
ies of tho several Collectors and officers
of tho customs, without recollecting that
this letter of the Collector, and Mr Mitch
ell’s letter ofthe 19th of February had been
put up with the Attorney General’s opin
ion, and placed with it on the file set apart
for that ofli er’s communications. The o
rigiuals, ol tho opinion and of those papers,
with the endorsements made on them at the
time, arc now transmitted in the same slat
as that in winch they were filed: and, it i
believed, that their appearance affords in
vrinsic evidence that they were so filed.
The papers transmitted, include all the
correspondence in the possession of the
Secretary, or in the Treasury Department,
having relation to the subject of the letters
required by the committee, not heretofore
communicated to tho H, of Representatives
It has been insinuated by Mr Edwards,
that these letters were wi hheld by the Sec
retaty, in violation of the resolution of the
Hotise of Representatives of the 31st Dec.
1819, for the purpose of screening Mr.
Mitchell. The charge,’however, t3 contra
dieted by the facts; end particularly by the
facts upon which it purports t« be founded
trie letter of the Collector of Darien, ofthe
14th of March; tvhcch was communicated
under that resolution, and to which, as welt
as the other papers, communicated by the
Secretary on the 1 lih ot January, 1820, the
committee is respectfully referred, begins
thus: “ I had the honor to address you pe:
Iasi mail, and to enclose to you papers re-
speciingf'rty-seven African negroes, taken
Hy the surveyor of Darien,from oneJaredE
Groce,on their way to the Alabama!’ erritu
ry,through the Indian nation, and forty one
others at the Creek agency, from the negro
houses of the agent for Indian Afftirs.”
Here then, is a disclosure of the very fact,
which, if theSecretary’s design was to screen
Mr Michell, it was fatal to disclose, viz:
Mat a large number of Africans, who had
been illicitly introduced, had been seized,
net only at MrMitchell’s residence, and at
the scat of his authority, but in his own ne
gro houses. It will be seen by the comit-
teo, that the collector’s iett-r of the 9th
though it contains the detail of the seizure,
does not more starngely implicate Mr. M
than he is implicated by this disclosure. But
lector inculpate Mr Mitchell, so, hh the
other hand his t<vlh letters jus'ifv nim:
ipt though one letter of the Collector., was
mitted to be communicated to the House;
yet, on the other hand, all the lettets r«f Mr
Mitchell were omitted So that, as tar as
Mr Mitchell was concerned, the charge
was presented without the justification.
It is believed, that, while the ctrsumstan-
ces stated in this communication explain
satisfactorily the reasons why the corn-sport
dence referred to by the committee, was

necessiry to its success that this reference

that Mr Michcll’s letters, which the Sec

We publish to day, and at large, the report of

ferred the address of Ninian Ruwiirds: we ark fur
it an attentive perusal from our reader*. The
conclusions of the report ol the committee arc
terfectl/ satisfactory to Mr. Crawford and his
Viends. As it relates to the Secretary of tin*
Treasury, he stands before hi, fellow citizen* a*
gold which has thrice passed through the crucible
and come out pure. The whole transaction must
iear, as to BdwArds and bia coadjutors, in the
ligrit of the most atrocious plot, to ruin the go >d
name of an emineht citizen, that ever atained the
annals of our country or disgrace the American
charuoter.
The House of Representatives have decided
that the committee of investigation may sit during
the recess of Congress. To tins Course there
ought to be no objection. We hope and trust
that F,dwnrds may go to Washington and explain
himself if he can. We shall be glad to hear of
his arrival. The committee of investigation who
intend remaining at the teat of government until
the minister arrives, are Messrs Floyd, Webster,
