EXTRACTS
From the National Inteltisencer's
REVIEW
of Robert Smiths Pamphlet.

FIVE. Here transferred from the I'M
methodical place into which il was thrust
between two articles closely connected III
their subjects. 1t takes notice OF the act
making some regulations as to ministers
and Barbary consuls and, Of all the az
ticies Of this wretched pamphlet. it is the
most riGful and insignificant. 1t does not
rise even to the dignity Of being wicked
or tre&c ferrous, or impudent. or even
false. IL seems introduced for no pur-
pose but to mark the meagren"ss Of the
general subject and Of the authors in
tellect. He says this law was bad one !;
he says the President did not give his re-
sative he says the President did not in
the subsequent session recommend by a
message its repeal he says. that he, Mr.
Smith, refused to speak to any of the
members of the Legislature abou,it, as he
thought it an improper interfering of the
executive officers with Legislative bust
ness.
Having collected all these wonderful
discoveries from Mr.. Smiths statement,
we will just return them to him with one
or two simple observations. We discover
from the date of the law that it past on
the very last evening of the session. 1t
must then have come to the President at
his chamber in the capitol, with num-
Der of other bills, some Of them doubtless
Of iniinitel y more conse uence. Ii he did
not the next session send formal mes
sage to recommend its repeal. it might
have been because he thought it better
that Congress should take up the subject
at the instance of member; and it was
indeed well understood that member of
the Senate, the very author of the first
bill, had engaged to propose it. Formal
messages or recommendations on every
subject oflegislation would multiply them
to excess, and would not appear respect
full to the intelligence and vigilance of the
members. Mr.. Madison has probably gone
farther in this than any of his prcdeces-
sors. Every body knows that it always
has been and ought to be the practice for
informal communications between the ex-
ecutiye and legislative members to take
place, with an honest view to the dispatch
of business. Mr.. Smiths squeamishness
therefore Oh this head is little curl
Gus; and he ought to have been very sure
before he ayerred it, that there are nc
