'-(ancs. Wc inJide no attack upon 4:the
purity of Mr. Crawford's motives ;ho' -
we did indeed say, that tho ambitious
language which he made use of in hit,
letter to the House of Representatives,
rendering another call upon him necessa
ry to discover its meaning, gave a differ
ent color to the transaction than it would
otherwise have worn, and we expressed
our surprise at it in the hackneyed excla
mation, -O temjvjra I O more.? ! and wc
should have expressed ourselves in the
same manner, had it been any other indi
vidual instead of Mr. Crawford. Neither
did we censure the appointment of sena
tor Thomas, because Mr. Crawford was a
candidate for the Presidency ; our disap
probation would have been as great, and
expressed in language as strong, had he
never 6een thought of for that office : tho'
the circumstance of his Icing a candidate
vras mentioned as giving a peculiar im
portance to the transaction. The con
clusion of the whole, then, as respects the
part we have taken, is, that we have done
no more than our duty ; that the report
does not destroy the force, nor alter in
the least the propriety of our remarks,
because they were founded on admitted
iacts, which no report, no committee
whatever, could disprove.

that the blackest falsehood will take as wide a .

the purest truths. Whenever, then, we see the !

eyes to his faults, neither is it our disposition to
condemn any one unheard. It certainly is their

mong other notices of the improper exercise of
trusts confided to the officers of the United
States, one which animadverts severely on the
appointment of Mr. Thomas, by the Secretary
of the Treasury, to examine one of our land of
fices. That such an appointment was made by
J.tr. Crawford, that Mr. Thomas was at the time
a. Senator in Congress, and that he received a
compensation for the performance of the busi

lA public confidence and esteem, however strong
the attempt to forestall it, I will venture to assert
is not the fact. The friends and acquaintances
of Mr. Crawford could find no difficulty in be

COLONIZATION SOCIETY.
Wc have been much gratified in perusing the
fifth annual report of the American Colonization
Society ; and the more so, as its prospects of suc
cess appear so flattering. Yc have ever wished
w ell to the object of this Society ; but we con
fess our belief of its success has at no time here
tofore, been strong; we have, indeed, looked
upcm the plaji as chimerical. We doubted the
practicability of obtaining the consent of any
considerable number cf the sable children of
Afric, to return to the land of their fathers, their
Idpis of which bcinjr so generally associated
v-Uh t. rror but granting this difficulty were re-
vi thi want of funds, we thought, would
be another and an insuperable obstacle ; the hos
tility of the natives too, and the pestiferous in
fluence cf the climate, would likewise operate
vcrv powerfully to destroy their plans and blast
tl cir hopes. And the mortality attending the
first expedition, afTecting both the agents and
the colonists, and the subsequent deceit and
treachery of the natives on the Sherbro, U ft us
scarcely" a doubt S ultimate failure. Hut most
,.f il,r.. obstacles appear now to have been sur-
mounted, or to wear a ices lormuiaaic
and the practicability of planting a colcr.y on
the coast cf Africa is reduced to a certainty. The
a-ents of the society have purchased a tract of
land of the (irand Itassa nation, residing near the
Grain Coast of Guinea, between the 5th and 6th
aegrees of north luQudc. The tract purchased
includes the whole cf Cape ilestirado, with the
mouth and a considerable extent of the liver.
This vivcr, the report states empties itself into
the Atlantic, and U hi length about 300 miles,
bein- the largest African rivcr.betwccn the I?io
Grande to the north, and the Congo to the south.
This station is important in a commercial point
of view, and is us healthy as any other part of
western Africa. All apprehension of an unwil

pears in the way, unless it be the want of funds;
but the board state, that as they have never yet
kit it, they will not now fear it. The society
appeal to the liberality of their countrymen:
their appeal, we trust, will not be in vain.
The day of Afric's redemption seems at length
to be dawning : her sufferings will at last have
an end, her tears ere long cease to How. The
worse than midnight darkness which now envel
opes her, will be dissipated : the descendants of
those who were forcibly and cruelly torn from
their native land, will return to their much in
jured country, and carry with them civilization,
and the advantages accompanying it. Ignorance
and barbarism will flee before them : and Afiica,
which, as far back as history carries us, has
groaned beneath a curse will be redeemed from
its withering influence through the instrumen
tality of those who have helped to perpetuate it.

ticularly note, for public information, the
following incidents, which occurred in the
course of yesterday :
The bill to erect toll gates on the Cum

by the President, having been reconsid
ered in the House of Representatives, it
was rejected by a majority of 4 votes,
though it had before a majority of 1 9
votes in its favor.
The Senate put into the military appro
priation bill an appropriation of 9000 dol
lars, to be applied to the repair of the
Cumberland Road ; which appropriation
was rejected by the other House.
A 'at. Intel.
The Greet "aval Eficriment. At the
appointed hour yesterday morning, all the
arrangements having been completed, the
experiment was commenced which wr.s
to test the practicability of hauling up, on
an inclined plane, upon the plan invented
by Commodore Rodgers, a large ship of
war. The new frigate Potomac, of the
class of 44 guns, and weighing, with the
apparatus attached to her? about 1C00
tons,. was the ship with which this inter
esting and important experiment was to
be tried. Though a light wind prevailed,
the ship was introduced without accident
between the ways on which she was to as
cend, and. at 2 o'clock the power of three
windlasses, worked by 40 or 50 men each,
was applied, to the immense floating cas
tle, and she began slowly to ascend. The
operation was continued successfully, un
til the ship was drawn almost out of the
water. At this moment, the lashings
which t connected the block of the centre
purchase with the large cable that passed
around the ship, fore and aft, and drew
her on, parted. This accident, however,
had been guarded against, and means ta
ken, in case of such an occurrence, to
prevent the ship from running back
The vessel, therefore, remained firm in
her place ; but, as it required some hours
to repair the damage, the remainder of
the operation was deferred until this

morning. 1 ne cxpcruiicui nas, bo ur,

EIIIE CANAL.
UT1CA, N. T. APItIL wO.
One hundred and eleven boats have al

this spring. Great improvements have
been made in the construction of canal
boats since last year. Forty tons burthen
is found to be preferable to a larger size.
The boats now most approved of, produce
but little motion in the water, and the

boats, with two horses e ach, carry 400
barrels of flour, at the rate of three miles
an hour.
One raft passed this yesterday, which
was 1920 feet lon, drawn by 12 horses,
and managed by 40 men, containing 200,-

in Fulton market. Butchers as well as
j candid travellers, declured that they nev
er saw any thing that could be comp ed
with It. This was a steer of five years
old, raised by Mr. Elijah Hart, of Say
brook, Connecticut, and had derived, with
scarcely any exception, his whole sup
port from its mother's milk. He sucked
within half an hour of its being killed.
The fiesh of this extraordinary creature
weighed 1241 lbs; the rough tallow 150,
and the hide S2 lbs. The best cuts were
sold at 1 S pence per lb. and the whole was
purchased in a few hours. Mr. Thomas
Gibbons, one of the butchers, who a few
weeks ago distinguished himself by the
sale of a number of uncommonly fine
cattle in the Washington market, bought
a piece weighing 120 lbs. This he in
tends to send on to London, and when
this, together with the piece formerly de
signed for Mr. Rush, mir minster at that
court, shall have arrived, the .English,

Departed this life, on the 6th of April, after
a short illness, in Person county, Mr. Hodkrt
It. King, in the thirtieth year of his age. Mr.
King was a native of Iredell county, and gradu
ated at the university in this state in 1815. From
that period to the year 1820, he vas engaged in
various literary pursuits, and in the acquisition
of biblical and other religious knowledge ; at
which time, he was consecrated to the ministry
of the everlasting gospel, by the Presbytery cf
Orange. Subsequent to that time, he resided
two sessions, or perhaps something more, in the
Theological Seminar- in Princeton, New-Jersey.
In that seminary he very happily prosecuted the
study of sacred literature, ami became zealous
ly attached to all those institutions which have
been instituted for the purpose cf evangelizing
the world.
After returning home, he was employed as a
missionary, for some months, by the missionary
society of North-Carolina, in Caswell and Per
son counties : and about the close of this time,
he was called, by the great Head of the Church,
to give an account of his stewardship. This is
the second time that the sanctuary in this sec

awful succession, by the hand of death ; and will

AIEN, (who left their owners on last evening for
no other reason than to endeavor to reach some
state where they will be free men,) viz : Robin,
Jacob, Julius and Rixon, (who perhaps may be
J m company with several others.) Robin is about
J Jo years ot age, dark complexion, heavy built,
! a likely active waiting man, and a good wagon
er an honest, taithtul servant, one who never
had his back marked with a whip ; in a word,
we had all confidence in him. He has a large
scar across one of his hands and fingers from the
cut of a cotton machine. Jacob is a black fel
low, about 45 years of ape, 5 feet 8 er 10 in
ches high, stoop'd shoulders, jpey head and
large whiskers : he is an old offender. Julius
is about 35 or 40 years of age, yellow complex
ion, a little above the middle size, likely, active,
smart fellow, can read and perhaps write. Rix
on, belonging to James Harris, of York District
S. C. is about 35 years old, stout made, but low
er than the common size of negroes ; is of a
black complexion, speaks slow, and has a down
look when spoken to. He was brought from
the eastern shore in Alaryland, by Mr. Springs,
15 years ago, and sold to J. Harris. He took
with him a drab great-coat, a suit of browa
broad-cloth, all new, two spotted vests, two pair

neek-cloths, a white hat, and upwards of g20 in
cash. .No doubt they (with all in their compa

the route leading to the north or west, perhaps
the latter. The above reward, or one quarter
for either, will be paid on their being appre
