Finding the Temple of Gold cleared Thomas Gates because it proved that Patrick's story was true by showing that the man who killed Thomas really was there to get him to translate/decode the puzzle. Thomas' having said "the debt that all men pay" showed that he knew the "key word," and his name was on the list that they used as evidence not because he was involved in the assasination of President Lincoln, but because he knew how to find the Temple.
As Mitch tells the story Thomas Gates had called the meeting, not regarding the treasure but to plan the assassination of Lincoln, and had burned the diary pages to hide that fact. When Mitch shows them the diary page it has Thomas Gates' name written on it, everybody now thinks that Ben's great-great granddad killed Lincoln. To clear his name he needed to find the treasure. On finding the treasure he had proved that Thomas had burned the diary page to hide the location of the treasure, not to hide the fact that he was behind the assassination.
