[To this question Mr Cook objected# The Committee decided thr t it might he put.] . A 1 very well remember my opinion at the time that the publication aaS made It was, that the publication would give a credit to the bank, to which it was not entitled. In confor mity with that opinion, ai-d from no other mo tive than to countervail tit- effect ot that ptihli- cati >n, I wrote anaiticle, which \va9 published either in the same paper, or in one next sue- cceding, (but 1 think the same,) in which I gave some of the reasons which induced me to be. lieve that the Bank was nut entitled to the ere (lit which Mr E. gave to it in his publication. I have no^scen that article since, hut the facts and circumstances rest upon ti y mind, and lam stil ot the opinion that I then was. Q What were the facts on which this opini >n was formed? A The first was one leading fact, which I had from general report, that a majority of the stock wnsheltl by two or three stock holders who were persons of little or no property. The stockholders to whom I al luded were Mr Robei t Latham and Gen Payn, the latter of whom was reputed to cover stock for the Messsrs. Johnson, of Kentucky Mr Latham was generally re ported to be insolvent partnet of a firm in Kentucky—I think eithcrLatham dj* Broad- head. or Morehead; and that he was insol vent I am certain, havifig been employed as a lawyer to collect debts from him. The Messss. Johnson were generally reputed to be in bad pecuniary circumstances. The stockholders having a majority ofthe stock could change the Directors at any elec* tion i This circumstance deprived the bank of credit in my eyes Another cir cumstance which made me believe that the publication of Mr Edwards would give the Bank a'Credit which was not due to it, was its silence upon prints necessary to be known, such as the pecuniary stability of several of the Directors. Mr Smith, one of the Directors, of whom a high charac ter is given in that publication, was gener ally reputed to be without property or very recently insolvent. Dr Joseph Bowers, of whom a high character is also given was a speculator lately arrived in the country,claiming ant] talking of much pro perty. but, as was h -lieved, without solid foundation. The other directors, with the exception of two or'three, were gener ally renuted to own b>f little property and to hold a majority ofthe stock. Ano ther circumstance to the prejudice of the bank, was my Mief "hat it could not do a business which would d 'fray its expenses and support it owing to the little com merce existing in the place where it was established.

He said that the disvo-x al was wmdly voluntary on the part f Mi Edwards ; that he had pledged his honor that he was not the author of the A B publications but M: Noble had intended to vote for him before lie. Iieatd this disa vowal; that lie had, before heating it made a motion in the Senate to take up his nom ination ; that Mr Edwards, in that same conv*. satfon, spoke honor blj of Mr Craw ford; spoke well of bis management ot the upon the subject its failure, and of the finances, and of his relief to the western public dcpoMte in it, myself and Mr Scott, debtors. The second and full conversation epresentative from Missouri, went to Mr was the same as has been detailed before the committee by Mr N«ble in his testimo ny. The first w.ts short and impet feet and sosiight, that Mr Noble with difficulty could recollect it when (have since men tioned it to him. Q. Do you not know, that the represen tations which you have stated were madt hy you to the Secretary of the Treasuty, against the Bonk of Edwardsville, were contradicted by those of-Mr Edwards and Col Johnson?

Abrham Bradley,jun. sworn, on the part nf Mr Crawford. per w l A q A. i;ie A The Butk ofMissouri. But I have been informed and believe, that the Bank of Missouri had assets at the time of its stopping specie b-iyment, to an amount be yonti the claims upon it that it has settled all these claims, either by paying them securing them to be paid—while -he Bank of Edwardsville has neither paid or secu- ed its debt to the (J. States. Q At what time were you employed to codec debts ag»inst Mr Latham ? A 'Sometime before I came to Congress, in 1820. Q Do you nr do you not know that Gen. Pavn is reputed to be, and do you not be lieve him to be.amongst the wealthiest men in Kentucky? A. 1 h-ive always understood that he was a man of large property; bnt the general report was, that that the shares in his name w-*re really the property of the Messrs Johosons. Q. Do you or do vr.u not know or believe that Messrs. Johnsons were at that time al so considered among the wealthiest men in Kentucky? A All die imformation which I had up on the subject,represented them to be en gaged in la-go and critical moneyed enter prises, and that their pecuniary credit was most uncertain. Q. Do you not know that Report Pogue, another Director in the Bank of Edwards vide, was at that time engaged in large mercantile concerns, and of unsuspected credit? . - A, I knew Mr Pogue as merchant, and his credit and standing were very good Q. William Kenney, JosophConway,and Abraham Pricket, were also Directors Were not these gentlemen all at that time of high respectability, and of considerable unincumbered property, so far as your knowledge extends ? A I knew them all personally, Mr Kin ney was always represented to me as a per son of considerable properly. I never heard theothprs so spoken of I knew no thing about incumbrances on any of their pst-Hes. They were all respectable. Q. Do Joseph Bowers, another Director is gpoken of by Mr Edwards as a gentleman of respectability. Was not that his gener al character, at that period ? A. 1 was. But, my objection to Govei nor Edwards's publication, was, its omit ting to speak of the pecuniary circumstan ces »f the directors and stockholders. Q. Were the dirrectors and stockholders liable beyond the amount of the stock paid in ? A The Bank of Edwardsville was an in corporated Bank, and I suppose, of course they were not. Q What was the canversation jou had with General Noble, which induced you to write the letter in the Richmond Enquirer, in r-ilation to that conversation p r \ A I had two conversations with Mr ffo ble upon the subject of his conversation with Mr Edwards. The first, tout) after Q. by M- Forsyth. In Oct. 1819, what was the shortest time in which a letter come by the mail f-om Edwaidsvilie to Woshingtim? A I have examined the contracts,and am unable to g'tate. Q Could a letter have come, at that time, n less than twenty daysP A It is difficult to answer with certainty; but according to my best information* I should say it could not. Q Have you made out a list of the arri vals and departnres of the mail between this city and Edwardsville? Is the paper now shewn to you such a list?,'’and is it made out according to the best information you possess? A It is. I have made it out from the con tracts, in all its items, saving one, and that I have stated from the advertisement of the Post Office Department, for a contract which is the route from Wheeling to Lnu- iavile.

Dear Colonel: Y out a of the 2c ult- came to hand this morning. The circumstances connected with tho Bank ot Edtvardaville, as developed in the two le;ers ot Governor fidwaids, submitted by you to my perusal, will recaive due con sideration, I am much surprized at the contents of his first letter to ypu 1 am g* atifi.-d with the explanation you have given him upon that subject. With Governor Edwards ( had no personal acquaintance before the last winter. The opinion which I had of the tal ents and integrity, from the official corres pondence which had been carried on be tween us both in the War and Treasury De partments has been confirmed by personal acquaintance. The different subjects upon which he had occasion to ask my opiniou or decision, during the last session of Congress, were fairly anti candidly stated; Ida comments upon them were judicious, and it afforded me great pleasure to be able, after due ex amination and reflection, generally to co- iocide in opinion with him. The gentle man who has stated that I was unfriendly to Governor Ed wa-ds, has entirely mista ken my feelings and motives of action. Certainly every thing wnich occu-red be tween the Governor and myself whs deci dedly calculated to inspire feeling- of a ve ry different character. 1 had every reason to be satisfied with him, and hope that no thing occurred on my part to produce dis satisfaction with him with any part of my conduct. I believe the only difference, of opinion that occurred between us Was in relation to the eligibility to office of a minor. In that case,invouldliave afforded me great pleasure to have thought with him, inas much as it would have enabled me to have aided in doing an art highly acceptable to my friend Col.M’Ke*. My inability to coocur with him in opinion was cause of regret, and not of complaint. I had, there fore, no possible cause of hostility with the Governor, and asure you that I never felt any thing like hostility to him. I remain, with sentiments nf the highest respect, your f> i**hd and most obedient servant, WM H. CRAWFORD, Col. Rioh’d M. Johnson. P. S. I return you Gov. Edwards’* first letter. To be Continued.
