RICH M U N D,
FRIDAY January 5, 1810.
PRESIDENT or th* UNITED STATES.
The crnstitution of th s officer is very pe
culur. He S the /' vecwivc Department,
without the appendages which are usually
attached to the chief magistrate in other
specie# of government. He has no control
of the national purse ; he cannot declare
W: r, nor can he m ike a treaty, with Ut
the concurrence of pther brandies of the
government. The pa*ronage of appoint,
ing to office is qiul-ficd by the provision i f
'he constitution which render# the advice
and consent of the Senate necess»rv to the
Perfection of that patronage. In fact, a
president of the United States, standing a
Ir.ne, in a powerless officer, whose influ.
ence is not so great as that of a congress,
.nan in h;s district : Rut, acting in con*
cert with every branch of the government,
he becomes the .\fan of the People, in the
constitution 11 s nse of ihephrase, an'l more
rationally great than the most despotic and
magnific at sovereigns of Europe or Asia.
A President of the United Stales, there*
fore, ought never to attempt t > t ft' ct any
thing by intrigue or in a private way, be.
cause that betrays a want of confid-nee in
the other d- pattments which arc ass-vda
ted wi'li him in the administrat on of pubu
i lie afla:r~, and nevev fails to introduce a
spirit of jealousy which thwarts the pro
gress of measures at every turn. Conceal
ment of opinion on the part of a public func
tionary is al oprima facia evidence of ti
midity, the bare suspicion of which is suf
ficient to destroy all reliance upon the un
derstanding of the most enlightened states
man. To he influential, tobe truly respec
ted, and to be popular, a President must
boldly speak out to the legislative body ; he
must recommend, as the constitution en..
joins, such me tsures as the times require,
by which moans the minds of the legisia.
tors will be directed to the necessary ob
jects, and the business of the n*ti<Mi will
be carried on indminiish- with taoilitv.
and with pleasantness. In relation to fo..
rc:gn affairs, this doctrine is irrefutable.
The President, through his secretary of
state, corresponds with American ministers
abroad; he naturally will receive much in
jlormat'on whereupon to found opinions,
[which nether the form of thit inform a.
I tion nor the confidential nature of it, will
suffer the Pres dent to commun cate to Con
I ^ress. H.s opinion, therefore, must, from
jlais opportunities of receivi igthe most cor.
recr intelligence, be the beat opinion, gene
rally speaking, in all cases of gr^at nati
onal importance. Who so fit_, therefore* to
rcc ur.meml incasuresj or to advise Cou
giess what to do in an emergency or on a
critical occasion i
It is believed that Mr. Madison recog
nizes and acts upon the principle advanced
in this article. There is not a man of more
sage deliberation in the Union than the
Piesiden e-nor one who, wht n he h is once
made up his opinion*act« with more deci
sion and promptness. Honest and disinter
ested hunsel!, he has never evinced the
U .*6t disp: sition to shun a constitutional
responsibility. In this he manifests a gen
erous confidence in the understanding of a
free and enlightened people. We hive
seen his decisive conduct :n the dismissal
of Mr. Jackson, vt have seen his open a*
votviil -of die dignified motive from which
he acted in relation to that envoy-~and the
republican part of the community in par
ticular arc delighted that the man of their
choice has fulfilled their hopes, and falsi,
fit-d the predictions of his enemien. This
session of Congress will not pass away
without further proofs of wisdom and tcm-i
perate firmness on the partoF the chief ma
gistrate. We predict that he will dojus
tice to the station lie occupies, he w<ll in
spire the legislative body, and the public at
large, with unlimited confidence in his m
teerritv and candor ; lit- » mm
who leads on his armies in person, hc'vv II
animate every heart—and honest citizens
<f every description rallying aider the
sentiments of their beloved ohief, will pre
sent an intrepid aspect to both. Great ttri.
ain and Trance.
