tome paita&cs IN an article winch appeared In the
Aurora GA Monday laf, npol the fubiett of our
commercial intercoorfe with Great Britain. AS
to the reception which Jays treaty met with a.
nong the democrats, from the highef TO the
Lowell, we need not fay word; it's we'll known
TO every fcfool boy. 1t is well known, that
their fra formal and vigorous denunciations OF
General Warrington were grounded npon his
content to ratify that treaty, which, as they al.
ierted, kumbled us at the feer of Great Britain.
About two years ago all the odieus provilions Of
that treaty, namely, che IaRsiesenteca articles,
expired by their own limitation, aud the day eoi
their exprarior was hailed in the Aurora, a. q.
mother day of emancipation 20 this country, al,
mott asimportant as the day upon which Walh-
ington retired from the chief magiRracy. Nov,
mark the fcquel. The Aurora OF Monday Gays:
g We NAV cenclnde, from the following para.
graph in late London paper, which gives us
the only information ,;e have yet on this fab
jea, that lonr miniaer at London Monroe] has
never yet fmpended his negotiations Cor the FOR

Here the reader is doubtless prepared for one
of thofe volies of democratic lcufrilty which
would be fufFcient to overwhelm poor Monroe,
and reoder Kim the object Of ell tina, popular de.
ieftation which was wrought up againa Mr. Jay.
No fach thing. The gentle writer, after a few
comments upon the proviilons OF the treaty pro.

1t is in vain to attempt comment. There
are no words in our language adequate to ex.
prefs The abandoned proagacy which fuch conduct
indicates. II the democrats poaeGed the leaf
portion OF honefy or lhame, fach a triumph on
our part would be worth enjoying. But we know
them TOO well to expect that this detection Of
their hypocrlcy, will occaGon them one Jingle
bIuih. Indeed any one of their leaders, at the
time they were bawling 10 the people to "kick
the DID treaty 70 h-,.ii" would have felt no
confu6onin acknowledging, in private converfa-
ion, that the treaty was a good one, and that
the cbjeet of the democrats in clamoring againft
il was merely to diminilh the popularity Of gen.
Wafhing,on's administration. -
Ope pitltul trick in the manner of announcing
chs ze7v treaty negotiated by Mr.. Monroe, de-
feryes notice. 1t is faid that his negotiations
have terminated in an agreement TO cosTINsE
the former treaty. To continue treaty, which
for two ears, has had no exiRcnce This will
hardly anfwer 20 catch democratic gulls. No,
the commercial treaty had expired, and left the
two nations exactly in the fame ftuasion as tho
it never cxiRed new one was to be formed
under the aufpices of thofc who had burnt Mr..
Jay in eGigy, and denounced ,.cral Wahing-
ton. What have they 3enei They have made
