He who weari a tight ahoe knou beat ahere it pinchea, but hi wry facci williiHlicaietoaby atander how ii with hit toei.

In my f.jrmrr euay it it premiafd thit lo a cliirge nf intereaied motive! in our or either i iHcm, it without evidence, or at leaat.iMMng prctumptioa." Let it be added here that lo Biakeiuch. charge it beneath the dignity of any man who ha the honour to be a federal Ut. The, gnmrnl an which ft w'a made ii curloat Chancellor Livingaioa.in a manner honorable to bit talenti zcaj, inaured the payment of a mm due by theFrench government to AftieriCaticitifena. Among the creditor are, it and because lie tiaa not excepted them from cjail juttice knd common right, he'ia chargetfwitU impure motivta- The fcrigin of thh alandel will be known by bye i and ecrtain folk with to'ireervt appearance, they should be a little, more guarded In conviviaj mo mcntt othcrwito a newspaper zeal will not ihidd them. from Jirmtlgatlem At to the treaty uelf, it ii in my opinion, in iti general tCope and elTtcf, good one, and the Aurora t'ofk1 ire heartily Welcome lo a much of thepraiteai they can firty take tothemaelvca.

Moreover, If, In treidinj on thit gmund, their toei ihould be uneaty, they may pr)ur out againat federalism and irderalibti Ctine a long it that of Crhulphui' but let them not, by fclyand vile Jntinuation, endeavour to injure the man te whom they are indebted foi this very treaty, oft which ttiry astume iuch great Credit for political Tbat'demneral ihould snarl and bite', I in 'their nature therefore right But yet they ought toipire each other right to bite, a BrathelU I ay again. that I approve the general' icope fi thrpw essential, and had it beeiv unattainable hut by twenty millions, I ahuuld have hern sattiirkd to pay my share even of thatium. Tiie acquisition cf the. rest pf Louiiisoil, if not to necessary, is, certainty- useful, inasmuch we are thereby enahffd. to prevent any persons from oecnpy- in It until the colonization may be rendered advisa ble by the exuberance of oar population.

For these reason I approve of the treaty, and not because of "what was aaid bjr Morris, Mason, Wells and While," altho' I have the -highest respect for those gentlemen. We federalists ant in the habit of iliiitk- ing for ottrservei, t)ie fcr i rank jt: and when a thing is well dune, mucrat, we want neither a French cook nor a salt mountain to season it to our palatei. Ajrroposof that salt mouatain. If congress, should, in their wisdom, make an appropriation to build a roof over it for the purpose of Iteeping; ofF feilera' rain, might it not be well to construct a Dry Dock under tne same cover Thi could be but a trifling addition to the expense, and then when our shins vetirtncebeaalted. In my former communicitio'n I rioficed the follow4 ing among other assertions piiblickly' made about thii treaty is said that the French government after having rejected haughtily every overture of Mr.

Livingston's came all at once round and made him the tender of Louisiana as soon as the king of England's message to his parliament reached Paris, and that ancr At. Jivuitton bad no power to tirikt a bargain, by reason whereof it -ai deferred till Mr. Munroe's arrival so that ibis happy states man might say vvithJCxsar teu, viJt, viei." Having thus stated the reports, I proceeded thus All I this, and much more is aaid i but is alf this true and if true, ia the whole truth Prudence requires; that we suspend our belief until the meeting of con gress. The treaty will then be laid befcre the senate, and with it the instructions to our ministers, their correspondents, 8tc such being the usage. It will then most probably appear that Mr.

Livingston was duly authorized, bow eltt liouU be Ixr made tbe overture xebieb are tpoien of" Tlie answer of the Aurora folks to this paragraph is amusing. The poor fellows are so pinciied, that in their agony they adopt the very observation which they writhe under, and roar out as follows: "First it is acknowledged that Mr. Livingston did make overtures, and of course, before the aggression of the Spanish Inten-dmti and secondly, that the cession was in conic-quence of the king of England's speech. Here ia saying ard ousajing wkha vengeance." Te do them justice, however, they have by con-faring da.eafully lofuiecl the assertion that trance cedtd Louisiana ra to dy as "J-Xi- 'hry sti ji wimiUI Ucii m.i par.r,, I bla lour.f (La ceding, laeviticiiili tba artuli t- tween Mi Ki'g ami Mr. If aiiltoti tul egrrgiotis a mitikka in date tuuU h.e Uii made by ifr.

Livingston was hot authKic. rd, and that the offer was nude by France Of thu we have 'Indeed further evidence fmrrt ihe 'aami; 'J'hey say ia the" Auroia after repeating the aflrgation (ut if rnadi by roe), that Mr. Lining stoo had not iowrr to itrike si bitgaio.

And again, the' original negotiation wa commenced in Europe Lmg before the act of the Spanish Jmcniant took place." And again" If the United State had ulie native between the acceptance of (he whole of Lnuitiana in the utmoit extrni ai it ceded, or none, iuhicb of the alierHatinee ought to be preferred I We" will undertake to say (what wc believe to be) that sucli an alternative wai given, and that the choice of our minittere wai made in that way." Af.d in the.

message to both nouses, PVevums to this (viz, the last cession of congress, or the Spanish aj-' grjssion.for by the felicity cf expression peculiar to( this writer', It is doubtful rhicn he means) proposi-' tioni had been authorized for obtaining the sovereignty of New -Orleans and of other possessions in that quarter Interesting to our rprief to such extent as wai deemed practicable, and the provisional "appro priation of two millions of -dollars intended as part of the price, was considered as conveying the sanction of Congress to the acquisition prrpoted." Aisd' again in ihe Anruta; Mr. MirMn stated on the part of ihe First Consul that the frtUtni nary to negotiation should be that the claims on France by American citizens should puld out of the first part of the Louisiana purchase money. There are only two othei preliminary conditions, that the of Louisiana should be taken ut France uri ginally and that the purchase should lie fifteen millions of dollars." A host of observations' pre-; sents itseir, but to stare them wi uld be tedious let it sull.ee that we have he: direct acknowledgments. that altho propositions had been authorized, or (in the other phraseology) negotiations set on foot, no power Was1 given to act. This it seems was rt served at wiy or vat foiJxiliiie: to tbe time tiuuft Dm What sure of things I It would teem from the other paper to be the provitumal appropriation, which, (says the rtietrtage-mAer) was Considered at conven ing the sanction of congress to the acquisition propo sed.

Now by recurring to the report of the secret committee, we shall find that art the very outset they. declare that ihe object of that appropriation was to' unable the president to tommnct the They of course must have Been Ignorant of these; propositions previously authorized, and of that original negociationcommcnced long before the Spanish aggression. The congress, however, sanctioned the aecquisitionpioposed. But by whom proposed, and when, and to whom I Plain answers to these questions will probably discover the cause of that soreness which the Aurora folks feel and the reason why they construe intoirony, the simple suggestions of plain common sense. Taking it for granted that the president and secretary of state, men of acknowledged abilities, had fully instructed their ministers on a subject of such great importance, and in diree-.

ting hint to treat, had not only fixed- the object 8s the terms they were willing to grant fbr in attainment bur had conferred on him the competent authority ai. sertions made to the contrary seemed to be not only, malicious, Cut absurd. Under this; impression, so natural to man who does not pretend to diplomatic skill or court-intrigue but has been used to the stra t' forward way of doing business, I attempted to defend the administration against chargee which had been publicly made. I was not indeed without ap prehension that violent men ot" 'my own party might be displeased but who could have suspected that the writer would have exposed himself to democratic fury I That he would be charged with aiming" to take Mr. Livingston by the legs and to heat down Mr.

Munroe and the administration by bit knocking nut bit brains." Such, however, it the melancholy fact. General Hamilton is charged (as author of my last essay) with this tremendous project, which will 1 trust, teach the wholesome lesion never to de fend oui administration upon principles of common sense. By-the-bye this eloquent fiigbt ff the Acio folks would be no bad subject for "a painter. In the fore -ground. Gen.

Hamilton holding Chancellor Livingston by the legs and swinging him round so as beat out Monroe's brains, wh en, at the instant. in the form of grape shot among the administra tion. These, of course, on tbe back gTOund, in a'ti- tudea appropriate to their rank and station.

Moreover hit believed, that Mr.

Mah'me, bearer of the poweri whatever ibtyxrij did not reach Par-it till the evening of the twelfth, was presented tf Mr. Tallrrand on the fourteenth, lay sick a -bed for a week, ig.ied the treaty on and was presented io the first Comal on the first of May. This w4 nimble negotiation. hether benrfkial or not, willdepcrwlon the conditions which have been annexed to tlie first Consul's pVeriminariei. Tbe treaty contains two articles, which, from the history above given by the adepts, do not teem to hnvr been insisted on the French government.

Om of these secures certain commercial privilegei to Fraiici aod ab'ont which. 1 shall say liythiiig at presenter Hy Uie other, vis. the third ankle', the inhabitants of the ceded territory are to be incorposx i ated in tbe teuton of ihe United States, and admitted1 i at txxi i at poitihte; according to Ihe principles of tha federal constitution, to all tlie rigb't advantages snd immunitiea of citiiens of the United States. It be comes necewary here lo tepest what I formerly said before the pttiportof th treat was exieily known, one clause has been somewhere mentioned tritci nut on examination found in the It it a stipulation at to wool tballbe Uontwib tbe toou try herenfier. A Stipulation of this tort 'would furnish 'to France a pretext and perhaps a' tiibt to meddle in aur dumestic concerns.

It is therefore to be presumed both from' th talents and th pstii-" otism of our mintstrrt that nothing of the sort But if unfortuiiately, tuch a clause should have tlipt in, the Wisdom of government will on-" doubtedly s.trike it out and the' frtf Consul will hardly in sbt on prescribing, to us (he manner in which we'shall dispose and ivttwiburown territory." Now mark the reply of the Aurora folks. From the nature and principles of our government, we boldly asierr there is no iuch clause as any coy to interfere with our right or in- dependence as tvvereignt of Louitiatta from the moment It came int our possession, Why then tiiis malignant intimiation by an iffected denial's liravo nis uomg tlie Hang nanusomeiy out let us reduce the proposition to -its simple element. It will stand thus. A clause which might in any way interfere with our right as sovereigns, is contra ry to the nature and principles of our government therefore no such clause either does or can exist, arid therefore to insinuate any such thing is malignant. This Isay is the plain and only meanmg of the round declaration just cited, unless indeed to elude the ob vious import, they recur to a mental reservation-and tell in they intended merely to say, that it consists with the nature of our gavernmeut, (that Is of out administration) boldly-to assert any thing without regard to decency or truth-'' Should they explain themselves in this way, nothing more need be said on the subject.

But if the former be the true inter pretation, it will follow that even in their opinion, the third article is contrary to the nature aod principles' of our government. That is to say it is not only accidentally but irremediably unconiritntional. Whether it be to or shall not presume to enquire, for since the principle adopted some time sirice, that Congress are exclusively the judges of their own power, any thing taid cm that subject might be dee med a breach cfpr.vtlege. I leave the matter there fore with my superiors, presenting that if the claw be convenient, it will turn eut to be constitutional. Let os then examine whether it be convenient.

The reasons fj putting it in the treaty, and tbe res- for keeiiinir it there. I pretend not to know SLd presume not to ink. Submitting with atldu defer ence to the constituted tr.horhiei, I wait, with them, the course of even-s. But the day rBxy come, per-hari it ia not remote, when we lhaii feel the serious import of this measure. Those who favor the incorporation, have ccrtaiufy gained one step by.
