There is scarcely an individual, notv, al though recently he had many friends here, who has not abandoned him. Mr Crawford is well known in the District of Columbia, lie is respected and beloved, and it is a remarkable evidence nf the force ot virtue, that even in the presence of the government, popular sentiment as regards him is too strong tube repressed,nnd the people too independent to he overawed by ministerial interposition. The partisans of A. and C. as well as tltesC gentlemen are greatly chagrined. The great numner of our eastern brethren settled in this part ofthe country insured Mr Adams many mends here, but they now almost universally reprobate and desert him.

The conduct of the committee of arrangement has been made the pretext for the Secretaries, and the P. M. General, appearing before the public, connected with the character of Mr Ed wards. Now, setting aside all speculation, on general principles, as to the propriety of Ed wards* exclusion, it Would be very apparent, if all the circumstances connected with it could be made public, to have b eh not only highly pro per but a matter of necessity. It is well known here that Edwards will he not only sustained, if possible, hot lie gladly made to triumph. That, exposed villainy eanmit be made in our country to triumph over truth and persecuted innocence, may be resdi!y conceded; yet you are awai e that when Edwards, (breed by the consciousness that he was self-convicted, degraded and despised, even by those who declined to condemn him unequivocally, resigned hits commission, a strong —a formidable resistance was made in the cabi net to the President’s wishes to accept Uie re signs'ion, »or is it known to this day thaCTt has been acquiesced io *(t wasi i all probability de* signed that the public mind should be permitted to cool, and the perfidy of Edward* be in ■.•me degree forgotten Such of the facts as Edwards had proved, and which had been for years of pub lie notoriety, and admitted, and satisfactorily rx.'lai'ied by Mr. Crawford in his report to the Senate, were harped upon as evidence of Ed wards’ having "sustained his charges” and bv perverting and mystifying the facts and testi mony it was hoped the baseness of the accuser might be concealed or extenuated The Adams and Calhoun papers in Washington, under the patronage and management, of t.iese gentlemen, chalked out the plan of operation, and many Journal* devoted to that par.y immediately co* operated .Concurrent with this is the notice taken of Edwards by Messrs. sdatns,l Jalhoun, be. thq counsellors of the President and the competitors of Mr Crawford. Towards the ac c-impfivhment ot the scheme an imposing effect was designed to be produced by the friends of P.dwarrls on the anniversary just past The day before (the 4th,) Mr Edwards sat with Mr A- dams in his pew in the Unitarian Church, and received the must pointed attentions This he has frequently done since the close ofthe inves tigation. It was intended to bring Edwards to the public dinner and there distinguish him by flattering attention. The consequence would have been a false impression abroad, that at tlie seat of government wb re Mr Crawford should have friends to protect his feelings and churac. ter, if deserving of prot.-citon, Mr Edward) was publicly noticed with respect and approbation, l he committee could not have been justified in permitting an anniversary celebration to be pro stituted to such an unhallowed purpose, or a fraud to be-practised upon public opinion with its countenance. But the consideration aside— it was well known that there were many gentle men who would not have sat at the table with Piesidentaqd the two latter gentlemen are concerned, we hsve no authority or in formation—though we hope and believe for their own sakea, and for the honor of the nation, that their efforts to sustain and to countenance Kdwards, have been exagger ated and misrepresented.—We can speak more explicitly in rclstimiio the Secretary of State. Botme Edwards’s charges were exhibited, Mr Adams was apprised by Mr C— k, that charges, would be exhibited, informed of their nature, and requested to express his opipinn of their character, and the properieiy o f preferring them In re ply, Mr Adsms pronounced (hem to be futile and absured, and did ample justice to tiu character and merits nf the Secreta ry of the Treasury.— We are sorry that Mr Adams was subjected to the mortifica tion of being so approached, and we do not know which roust to admire, the audacity or the meanness of the individual, who dar ed to do it. On his part, the transaction was involuntary, and after its occurrence, honor and justice left him but one course to pursue.which, whilst it displayed magna nimity towards a rival did equal justice to the integrity of his own character.” The Phitludelphia Statesman, formerly in favor of General Jackson, has changed opinions. The Editor, after frankly sta ting his reasons, concludes As follows’:— “ He has not the least chance uf the e lectoral vote of any New-England state, N. Jersey, Virginia Georgia, Kentucky Ohio, Indiana, Delaware, Missouri,ot halfof Ma ryland. These constitute about two thirds ofthe electorial votes of the Union, so that it is certain the General cannot be chosen by the people; and if the election goes to the House of liepresentatives, it U a well known fact that the members from but six states out of twenty-four wilt vote for him under a iy circumstances. So great has been and continues to be the change nf public opinion, that it is now even doubtful whether he will receive the votes of Penn sylvania or of Alabama. Taking into view these considerations, we say thst, aa de mocrats, we cannot support Gen. Jackson, and even were we federalists, still we could not support him. He disclaims all party, why should not all parties disclaim him? In the State of Mississippi three E!ecto< rial Tickets arefvatned—for Messrs Craw- ford, Jai-kson and Adams. In Alabama— heretofore calculated upon as one of the three States confidently expected for Gen. Jackson—two entire Electorial Tickets are formed, one for Mr Crawford and one for General Jackson.

Destructive Fire.—A few minutes be- ere were many ar-ient tempers at the table— 10 a car P e ^ er » shop, at the corner of Chesnut and Charles-streets, and notwith standing the most spirited exertions, before it could be subdued, it proved to be the m>.st destructive fire that has been known in this town for many years. We have had no ram for more than a fortnight, so that every thing was excessively dry; and the wind blew almost a gale. The fire There were many ar<!em tempers men of high honor and resolute spirit,wtio would if lie appeared, thrust him from it. It was the duty of the committee to use precautionary mea sures against uproar and violence—to secure to the comp ny social order and undisturbed har mony. Nothing, therefore, seemed more pro per to this end than a private intimation to Mr E. in the event of bis profe&sing to subscribe to the dinner, that his subscription could not be received. The holders of the subscription pa pers were alone informed of this and it was ne ver intended to be known publicly, as nb wish was entertained to wound Mr Edwards unneces sarily. But a paper was left at the b6ok store of Messrs. Davis & Force, and Mr Porce is J. Q A dams’Editor. The dire, tion in regard to Ed wards must, therefore, have been communicated to Mr Adams, or some partisan of his, and as the intended exclusion would defeat tlie project for giving Edwards eclat, s- me expedient fn this unexpected emergency became indispensable. The case wss desperate and a desperate remedy seems indeed to have been applied. The A- dams paper makes the private intimation of the Committee public, by which Mr Edwards is wan tonly exposed—and the Calhoun paper, tlie no torious Wa-bington (republican, receives (or publication the joint letter ofthe Trio, who at once radily identify tbetnselvea with a convicted calumniator, and leave the public no longer to doubt the truth of Mr Randolph’* declaration, •It lias since been ascertained that his resig nation has been accepted;—Eu. fler, • j soon caught,two dwelling houses in Chen nut street, which extended to the oorner of Beacon-street, and extended for a consul erable distance up Beacon-street.
