COMMUNICATIONS.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
Ir is laid that I be members of the Senate have
bound Li*'.Mii(Vives ir. honour not 10 dilcioie i he arti
cles or the Treaty or their accompaniments. By
witom could inch, injunction have been made? By
the ixecutm* or the Sen r’ themfelves? If by the exe
cutive, he exercifcs a lpecits ot lovereigntv over
I he Senate, and makes ;;jein (nbfervitnt m his opi
nions and to Iiis views. Under fuch an i:.P.;;ence
c m the Senate be an independent body ? fhe tt
an Senate is noted lor it; lecrecy, but this leciecy is
the cibi'nn}' i»f its own deipo Tm, and nor ol that
of the Doge, who'V dictum is far from being a law.
Wh.it are *.ve to infer from this lecrecy ? No doubt
tils*r the treaty will be unacceptable to tlie public ;
for it it would prove agreeable to them, it would
«ot be concealed. What are we to infer, if the
treaty obtains contrary to thewifhes of the people?
That i he people h-v nor putiic Jervatiis but public
nojLrs, and that ih*. re ex tits a tyranny among us.
Theieisno authoriz’d fecrecy in our government,
and to infer the right of frcrecy from ihe practices
of Oilier nations, is a proftitution of republican
principles. As well might we fay the Pi t (idem
jhould wear a oo-a.fi becaofe the King of Great Hri
tain wears one, there being not bine, in the confuta
tion forbidding to him this ornament. N
A Treaty is to be the (uprerne law of the land,
and yet the people are nor to be informed whit ihe
terms of this law are omii it (hall be binding upon
them. It Congrefs were to pet in this way, the
people would have a remedy; they might difmifs
thr: members, and abrogate an obnoxious law en
gendered and Hedged i,>. iecrecy ; but with refpect
to a Treaty, i is no' f» edy ; (or however obnoxi
ous it m -v be. they are to rounder the contVquences
of an abrogation When n ations forfeit their en
gMgemmts bv treaties, appeals are made to the
fz'.nrd; when Icg'lTirors violate t he confidence repol
ed in them, appeals are made not to tl|e fword, but
to juftice and the coiili itu'ion. Should the treaty
made with Grear Britain be ratified, it will be out
of the power of if people to remedy its evils w ith
out h a/aiding, a ‘tear; what then rnuft he laid of that
concealment, wliich precludes a free people from a
knowledge of ibt-iV tnoft important concerns. until
the opportunity (or a remniy is pafacd ! Can it be
(aid that the genius of liberty directs inch councils!
It fmei1s*too rank of delpotiftn for.liberty to have
any thing to do with.
Secrecy is the order of the day in our govern
ment. Charming expedient to keep the people in
ignorance, and to practice a n ranuy uponihcm!
vVhht a pity ir is that the Treaty cannot be kept fe
crer after as well as before it is ratified! If it is to
obtain contrary to the l'enfe of the people ( and this
niufr be the reason of the fecrccv) no matter whe
t iier it is promulg netl before or after its rat ideation; ■
for as their opinions ore put to defiance, better
that the expression of contempt for them flinuld be
made os I'trong as pofsible. I low very different is
the fenriment ami conduct of the venerable Govern- I
or of Mafsachnfetrs from that of the executive of I
the United States.—'Ihe former delighting in an |
o^rfftr.G repufoica'R deVr.estribr; the^atter prattiiin^

frates. the fpeech of Mr. -Samuel Adams to the
Legifuture of -Mlit ichuletrs, we find the following
republican and correct fentitnents, “which ought to
put to the blCrfh the reprefentatives of freemen, who
Itudy to hide themielves in darknefs.—“ Asthehap
