Eveiy successive mail that aiiives, Cm,firms the intelligence brought by the former that there is no news. The limes nre still and there is nothing to disturb the quiet uf the people. There were periods when every paper brought the particulars of military movements, the details of some hard fought battle or well conducted siege But tlie days of this chival y are gone There are no fights now which decide the fate of empires, or revolutions in which thrones are overturned or established. If tve go bey -nd the bordrrs of the Union, we find no more to interest us abroad or at home. The legitimates are fixed secuiely *f> » heir places, and are attempting to rivet the chains of despotism upon the world, nod it is of but little consequence whether it be in their own palaces separately or uni tedly us a convention. The Greeks are toiling for independence, and they must be 80 slow, that their progress from day to day cannot be marked with much accu racy. The inhabitants of Smith America are scarcely mure free or enlightened than a year since. And in short, the summary uf ulrices, foreign and domestic, is this— there is rio news. Tho Louisville Kentucky Morning Post commenting on the Edwards affair thus concludes an article of gVeat lengths— " If Mr Edwnds had been present” we should nave heard his champion* exclaim if the result of this investigation had thus turned out j.n hi- absence; but he was pre sent, two uf the Committee favorable to Mr Crawford had gone, and a nvijmity of those present, were at least in favor of an other candidate for the presidency, if not opposed to Mr Crawford; every facility was efio'ded Mr Edwards to complete his case, and give the subject a full exatnina tlon,and the icsutt is an eternal reproach upon the author of the accusation. The government lias expended upward-of glO, 000, (not including his gTt 1.000, which '>e has pocketed as minist. ) to gratify the personal hostility and feed the private hate of this man. Although opposed to Mr Crawfo'd as a candidate fur the presidency, because he is the Caucds Candidatei we can for our selves say, we sincerely rejoice at his ac quittal. Self-taught, with no personal fm tune to inherit, or numerous influential friends to buoy him op, he has made his way and elevated himself to the highest offices in the government by no other pat ronage than his talent9 and fitness for bu siness. That there are some specks in hi* political character we do not deny becnase we have no great partiality for him, he is to the way of our favorite candidate for the Presidency, and if he can be removed by fair means we shall be glad, but • let jus tice be done though the heavens fall.'* artful, designing man, determined upon personal aggrandizement, and by no.means ft sound p> litician; as the plot has develo ped itself, we believe he has beeh more “ sinned against, than sinning.” We be lieve a lew artful and designing men, have lormany years, bent all their energies to injhre him. and misrepresent every mea sure he recommended tor the public good. At the head of this organized party we think N Edwards ha9 placed himself, and had we known the part he played in the A B plot, we should have paused before we gave publicity to some iemarks which wo made at the commencement of oureditort&l labours.—We think these observations nre injustice due to Mr Crawford, and we have no hesitation to sav it h/m been elicit; ed by the late charge of N Edwards and the manly nnd'truly masteily defence of Mr Crawford, it carries conviction with it, that he is an honoat man.
