More Gull-Bait.

President Madison instead of refu-
ting his minister, Smiths serious char
ges, has issued Proclamation for con-
venlng Congress on the 4th Novem-
Der. This procedure is nothing more
nor less than another poor trick to Ca
Jole the majority of the American Peo-
pie, whose confidence, he boasts, he
enjoys, and which he says, will enable
him to manage affairs as he pleases,
and put at defiance a thousand expo
sures . If his coadjutors desire that
the other portion of The American Peo-
pie should believe otherwise, let them
manfully publish the correspondence
between Messrs. Munroa Foster, and
Serrurier for the information of the
People. They have no right to affect
squeamishness on this head when it
has answered a purpose, they have been
very prompt and liberal in their com-
municaLons. If they will not publish
the documents, the People will believe
III more partiality, and Locksmith in
fiuence, than even Mr.. Smith has pro-
we'd because they know, that Con.
gress by law must meet in December,
only four weeks after the Proclamation
time because they know, if necessity
demanded an extra session OF Congress,
II ought TO have been at an early day,
TO put an end to the suspense which
the measures must occasion; and be-
cause 1t IS well known, that Congress
could have been assembled in As days
after the date of the Proclamation as
we'll as in lo2. The pretext, therefore
that the call of Congress has grown out
OF the foreign relations, will be consid-
cred mere bagatelle, bait to catch
shallow gulls, unless the correspon-
dence is published.

Conduct since his arrival among us
has been watched with the jealousy
natural to freemen, but at the same time
with all the candor which his situation
entitled him to, whenever his actions
did not assume a questionable aspect /;
and the result has been, firm conyic-
ton on the part of those who have been
on terms of particular intimacy with
him, that the compassion bestowed up
on him as an exile, on his first arrival,
was most lamentably misplaced,-and
that his views, and the character which
he in fact sustains, are to be dreaded as
the very bane to the peace and liberty of
the United States.
