Official seal to it, appeared in its birth day suit
in yesterdays aurora. 1t purports to be Mr..
Robert Smiths account of "t the rupture
which h taken place between MIR. Madison

R. Smith has retired in dudgeon, are of the
most singular kind: as specimen of the
whole we take the "2d. certain nominations
which had been made to the Senate by Mr..
Madison WAS there ever amy thing more
truly ludicrous than this The constitution
of the United States declares that the Presi-
dent shall " nominate, and by and with the
advice Of the senate appoint" but truly 1t
appears that the constitution is not to be re-
lied On as authority On those sub ects for we
now, for the first time, learn that he ought
not to nominate without the advice and con-
sent of the Secretary of State even though
that Secretary should be trimmer in politics
and without the talents necessary to advise.

there were errors in tie mates journal.
