A VALUABLE additional' Spring was
Ta two or three years since discovered,
and was last season put in some order for
ust, which bids fair to be highly servicea
ble in many cases, and to increase the
puhlick utility of the establishment at the
place. The new Spring is strongly sul
phureous, and contains likewise a consider
able portion of iron. A gentleman from
Albany, who lately ekanpiied the Water,
observed, that in taste it Very much resem
bled the Harrowgate Water, (as it is call
ed,) at Greenbush, opposite Albany.
The virtues and qualities of the ancient
Spring are so known aiufso generally
esteemed, as to render any particular enu
meration unnecessary. It is the intention
of the Proprietor to do eVtry thing in his
power the ensuing season to render the
situation pleasing and interesting to inva
lids in pursuit of health, and travellers in
pursuit of innocept amusement. He will
exert himself to procure the best of re
freshments ot every kind and obliging and
faithful attendants. By the most assiduous
attention tee the wants, the wishes, the
health and the comfort of those who may
be his guests, he hopes to merit and re

patronage.

t AFFLICTIONS.
oev£r considers the manifold ca
lamities to which mankind are exposed in
the present state, must feel some emotion
of sorrow. Sin has introduced great mise
ry and universal disorder into the world.—
No person, however mean and obscure,
or eminent and exalted, can stand invul
nerable against the arrows of adversity
It is however the peculiar privilege of a
good man, that, thougp alike with others,
he be partaker of the sufferings of human
ity, yet he sees a wise hand directing eve
ry event, and rendering all subservient to
a grand and glorious end. He desires to
learn the uoble lessons of patience and
submission, while his heart glows with
gratitude to him, to whom he is indebted
for every comfort he enjoys, and without
whose permission he knows no evil can
transpire. Afflictions, though not bless
ings in themselves, yet when sanctified,
are productive of great good to them who
are exercised thereby. Even Demetrius,
a heathen, could say, “ that nothing could
be more unhappy than a man who had
never known affliction.” And one, who was
not a heathen, has left it on record, that
it was good for him to be afflict ed. Let us
not therefore sink into despondency under
a view of approaching difficulties; nor suf
fer our imaginations to dwell with horrour
on supposed future events. “ The evils
and afflictions of this life, indeed, appear
like rocks and precipices, rugged and bar
ren at a distance ; but at our nearer ap
proach we shall find little fruitful spots
and refreshing springs, mixed with the
harshness anti deformities of nature.”
It in related of one, who, under great
severity, had fled from the worst of mas
ters to the best—(l mean he had sought
rest in the bosom of Jesus Christ, tlie com
mon friend of the weary and heavy-laden,)
that he was so impressed with a sense of
the bepefit he had derived from his afflic
tions, that lying on his death-bed and see
ing his master standing by, he eagerly
caught the hands of his oppressor, and kiss
ing them, said, '* these bands have brought
me to heaven.” Thus many have had rea
son to bless God for afflictions, as being
the instruments in his hand of promoting
the welfare of their immortal souls.
It is said of Dr. W. that from his most
early infancy to his dying day, he scarce
ever knew what health was; yet we arc
told that be lucJced upon this affliction as
the greatest blessing of his life. And the
reason he assigned for it was, that being
naturally of a warin temper and an ambi
tious disposition, these visitations of Divine I
rage, '
Try a doqen or two before one you engage.
Now, without Pope qr Bishop, or any Such
pother, '
Bony quits' his old wife, and seeks out for
another: ’’

But will give the reasons for the political
faith that is in him upon this subject, with
his usual conciseness and simplicity.
It is certain that there are but two con
stitutional provisions which bear upon this
point: That which is contained in the se
cond clause of the filth section of the first
article, in these words, •• Each House may
determine the rule of its proceedings:
punish its members for disorderly beha
viour ; and, with the concurrence of two
thirds, expel a member And that which
follows in the very next clause, “ Each
House thall keep a journal of its proceed
ings ; and, ftona time to lime, publish the
same, excepting such parts as may in their
judgement require secrecy : And tbe yeas .
and nays, of the members of either House,
on any question, shall, at the desire of one
fifth of those present, be entered on the
journal.'* NoW, as the House might do bu

other view of this fhie (hat rich
communications are made in ptirstfartce of
that part of 'the conStHutloh which makek
it lhe'tiuty of the President, “ From timt
t<» ttone' to give to the Congress
of the state ef the Union." h» diseasing
the President** power upmf fhh pbiot, it
has already been remarked that the power
to give information to Congress could not
mean the shme as to withhold information
from the people. We may go farther. and
say, with perfect confident, that the frrf- K
mere of the constitution expressly content*-
plated publicity as the essential characterl
- of this act of the President. The
constitution is imperative. “Hu shall, ,
from time to time, give to tHe'Congre**,
•c?' This provision is ebhtained in a aec
‘tlofr'of the constitution which prescribes
the ■ rather than the flower of the
‘Etfctutlve. The first section of the se
cond Article regulates the election of the
President; the second gives him the pow
ers of military command, of reprieves ad&
pkl-doas, of making treaties, and of ap
pointments ; and the third eommanda him
to give information to the Legislature, t 6
recommend measures to their considera
tion, to receive ambassadours, and to exe
cute the laws. He shall give to the Con
gress”—-What ? “ Inform atioh'*—Respect
ing what? “ The state of tbv Union." It
is worthy of repeated remark, that, in the
arrangement of executive powers and du
ties# this duty of communicating informa
tion is carefully kept distinct from ths pow
er of making treaties. The framers of the
constitution anticipated no connexion be
tween them. I hose illustrious sages and
patriot), did not contemplate the purchase
of an Arabia Deserta, or even an Arabi*
Felix. They did not mean to make it the
duty <if the Executive to make treaties, to
buy territory, or to buy peace. Yet it is only
upon the ground of an imaginary, hut clear
ly extra constitutional, connexion between
the treaty making power, and the commiy.
nication, by the department of the govern
ment which possesses that power, of “ in
formation” to Congress, in the shape of di
plomatick decuments, that the friends of
administration pretend to justify even the
House of Representatives in imposing *
perpetual Injunction of secrecy, in relation
to the contents of those documents. The
present writer does not hesitate to deny,
with at least equal boldness, and he hope*
more cogent reasoning, than what Sir Fran
cis Burdett has displayed in questioning the «
right of the British House of Commons to
imprison a British subject, the constitution
al and legal power of the House of Repre
sentatives to impose such an injunction.—
He has already totally denied the right of
the President to exercise this power. He
now denies its existence in the House of
Representatives, as the constitution, the
laws, and the rules of the House, have
hitherto stood. But he does not affect to be
wiaer than aeven men who can render a
reaaon. He will not resort to
