TO the Editor.

From your report of the speech of Mr..
fucker in the Enquirer of the 10th, It might
be supposed that Mr.. Smyth had said CoU-
gre88 may cede a state, and that the Presi-
dent and Senate may 6arfeJ away a state.
Mr. Smyth never said so. He knew the trea-
ty-making power was not in Congress. And
nothing said by him amounted to any thing
like an assertion, that state may be barter
ed away by the President and Senate.
Mr. Smyth intended to convey this idea
mr. y a state qcas conquered, by an irresis-
Hofe force, for e-ramhfe, by an army ofhaif
a million Of men, TIE general goyerH1,enl
had horocr, 10 aVers The Total cohqness ofthe
nation, 10 make heace, and cede and qbGndov
me conquered state TO tie c0nguerors. This
idea he expressed in language that he sup
posed not liable to misconstruction.
The following quotations are offered in sup
poFt OF Mr. Smyth's opinion, after promising
that the constitution declares emo state shall
enter into any treaty"
In every nation there must necessarily be
some power with which others may treat
on sure basis"
The nation ought never to abandon it's
members but in case Of neeessitv, or With

My frlt objection goes to the partial and
imbcciie policy Of the administration which
brought on this diltrefIing meafure. Had the
