our rood friends the democrats have
been very still about C2tienhagea jack
son. They seem no: 10 have their les-
son perfectly. The burst oil indigna-
ton which was TO break out against
Mr.. Jackson has not yet exploded.
And although the government like the
show men have been several weeks cry
ing, hocns hocQs, go, come, rien, By, oi5-
tear, disahhear, change and btgone :!
and the presiden, has declared that the
people shall see svha: they shall see :!
But no one is yet abe to comprehend
the exhibition. Perhaps when Mr.. ].
G.. jackson has diges,ed his Mondays
break fast, he will be able to point out
the " gross ,nsinua,ions" in his name
sake's letter to Mr.. Smith"

FROM THE FgEEMAN's JOURNAL.
I'm intorlam Quesfion.-Upon the
Documents which have Just been SUBJ
mitted by the President to Congress,
we say, decidedly, that Great Britain,
in her diplomatic intercourse with the
United States, continues TO advance
pretensions utterly inconsistent with
our national independence. Anti-Gal-
lican as we are, with all our heart, with
all our nind, and with all our strength,
we are Anti-Gallican in an equal de-
gree, SO far as American honour and
American right are in question. Bat
TO have broken off the negotiation in
consequence ofthe pertinacious adhel-
ence of the British Government 10 in
admissible preiensions would have been
one thing, aad TO refuse to negotiate
further with the British Minister in
consequence OF his letter OF the fourth
of November, was another. We have
examined that letter carefully and COOL
ly. and cannot for our souls discover
IN It any such "gross insinuation" a.
gainst our own executive as can Justify
the course which has been pursued
To us it appears temperate and res
pecttnl document, especially when we
reflect that Mr.. Smith had absolutely
insuited Mr.. Jackson, by accusing him
Of having made observations which
were not only prevalent, but imf,roher.
But although we look in vain for the
GROSS IysINuATIoNs which that letter
was supposed 10 contain, we find in it
The statement OF A FACT, for which
the administration, judging from the
former part OF the correspondence, was
not perfectly prepared. IL is there sta.
ted that Mr.. Jackson was in possession
Of FULL POWERS, under the great seal
Of his Sovereign, to CONCLUDE a TREA.
Ty. Now, in stating the question
which hence arises in our minds, w.
certainly do not intend any" gross in
situation" against our own govern
meni, nor even 10 inanuate that an ai-
firmative answer ought to be given to
our inquiry. But We have a right to
ask an important question, particularly
at this important time.
Was the statemsn,, contained in Mr.
Jackson's letter of the fourth of No .
vember, that he was furnished with
Full Powers to conclude Treaty, the
REAL REASON for his rejection

Most Of the proceedings in Congress,

President may require the aid of all officers

American Orders in Council.


Mr.. Tnorp's resolutions certainly
possess the principle OF impartial retail
iation upon the two belligerent powers,
but, with our means OF enforcing them,
the idea appears to most men here not
little ridiculous. If we cannot fight,
it seems we can retaliste triangularly.
Every thing in politics is now referred
20 the doctrine of 2riangies, as every
thing in philosophy was once referred
10 the OeuH Qua6acs OF ARISTOTLE.
No one expects Mr.. rs resolutions
will be adopted, but they may have one
good effect. Suspicion, which is ever
sporting with the fair fame Of It's betters,
hints that certain great characters are
pregnant with War Speeches, and it is
considered as quite immaterial upon
what occasion these speeches shall be
delivered. We may therefore expect,
in the language of that admirable new
satirical poem, 4" The Epics Of the

Southern Skunk.

John Randolph once uttered seni-
meDt in Congress rather unfavorablc to
American spirit he observed, if the
multiplied insults, heaped upon the cit
liens of the U. s. by foreign powers,
were not resented, il would be impos-
slble to kick the government, into
war" Blu, we think the transactions
at Washington since the commence
ment Of the present session, sufficiently
esince that our Legislators are no,
wanting in courage TO fight each other.
On the first day of the session, Mr..
Coles, late Mr.. Jefferson's secretary,
horse-whipped the famous Nelson, NJ.
L. who so boldly advised, during last
winter session, TO make the experiment
OF blood-letting upon the citizens of
New England, if they were no. very
quiet as to the continuance of the en-
barge.
On the second Monday a duel was
fought betwixt the Hon. Jos. Pearson,
Member from N. Carolina, and the
Hon. John e. Jackson, Member from
Virginia, brother-in-l law to President
Madison, and leading democrat, in
which the latter was dangerously woun-
ded. After these repeated instances of
southern heroism, let not their Yankee
brethren charge them with fearing the
mighty Napoleon, when they show so
much readiness to " take the field" 10
resent personal insults.
Payton Smith, son of Gen. Smith,
M. c. from Virginia, has been killed
in Duel with Mr.. Holmes, of the
same state.
Mr.. Madison in his message, intima,es
that 1t will he necessary to resort 10 loan
to meet the future expences ofgovernment
but the democrats say, it Congress will
adopt the resolutions offered by Mr.. Troup,
the wants of government may be supplied
with the money obtained by the capture Of
English and French vessels, and the sale of
Licences. But least these wise fnanciers
