From the Boston Cenfinek.

An honest and upright President can
have no secrets which he would not wish
to disclose to the peopie, unless negocis-
ton is pending which IS not the present
case. We are indebted to the able and
correct editors of the Salem Gazette, al
WAYS found in the foremost ranks of virtue
and patriotism, for the remarks we are
now about to make. Mr.. Smiths case is
not new one, The infamous Edmund
Randolph was dismissed by Washington for
having been proved to be engaged in a
corrupt plot with the agents Of France
Randolph, a true democrat, had the eff
frontery to publish pamphlet against
Washington, and he applied to that Illus
trious man, whose 6 uniform" the demo-
Gratis most impudently and foolshly affect
to assume, to know if he should be per-
mitted to disclose certain facts which had
occurred in his official intercourse with
Washington. How did that noble and IL
lnstrious man conduct? Did he, like Ma
olson, shrink from the Investigations
Did he upbraid or reproach Randolph with
a wish to disclose executive and o6icial Sc
crets
No.-Honesty needs no such artihces.
See his reply and contrast itwlth that OF the
guilty Madison -
ssftis not difficult" said Washington to
Mr.. Randolph, "to perceive what are your
objects but that you may have no cause to
complain of the Withholding of any papsr,
however private or confidential, have d.
rected that you shall have the inspection
of my letter of ed of July, agreeable to
your request And yon are at .fuA liberty
to publish 7oitk1ut reserve, any and every
Private and Confidential letter ever zo,ote
you. Nay mare, every zvord 1 ever utter
ed to you or IN your presence"
Here, fcllow.c citizens, read and pause.
Contrast this language and this conduct
with that of Madison and then ask your
selves which is the language OF conscious
virtue Ask yourselves, whether M adj.
son, and Lincoln, and such degraded men
have a right TO ssdsSune the Untfoyu1" oil

One of Robert Smiths defenders in the
Baltimore Wing proposes an amendment
to the constitution, providing, that no man
shall be elected President for two terms in
succession. This is always the case with
inconsiderate politicians they either cannot
or will not distinguish bstween defective
constitution and bad administration; and
the faults of the one are attributed to the
other. The constitution has been sufficient
ly tempered with already. Our great de-
sideratum is, set of enlightened and pa
triotic men to administer the government.

...rr;nr one Of the hrss and most important
= II. official duties, he was influenced, by
bonour!-by honestly by the good OF his
country no, but by miserable intrigue"
Mr. Smith affirms that as he commenced, SO
:. continued to act, under the influence of
;ntrirue. 1t would require Jesuits casdisti-
cal akin to determine which of these charges
,r,s the most serious Mr.. Smith asserts that
Mr. Madison's conduct was wrong. His
friends assert that he appointed public ftinc
,;onarv. who, not being qualified to do right,
and vet obliged to act must of course do
,,,rono also. Except one item in Mr.. Smiths
catalogue, the charge Of his friends is first in
o.5or tho last made known. Besides that
of his friends is confirmed by the public re
cords of France Bonaparte, who cloves all
che Americans" and who is particular
friend of the President, in an official commu-
nicaton has Published to'the world that Mr.
Madison is a man ''witholt honour" sc.
Il will be strange if the Presidents charac-
FER Is not cracked at least, by the friction oil
these two mill-stones He will be fortunate
indeed if he escapes bothSytIa and Charibdis'
Thus situated. from whence is he to derive
consolation His enemies accuse him; and
his friends, being miserable intriguers," like
those of good old Job, are but miserable
comforters. Mons Serrurier seems willing
In Give Mrs. Madison all the consolation which
his assiduous and polite attention can afford
But in what way this may affect the Presi-
dents mind, whether it is any relief or not,
is uncertain One thing however is certain,
it is no relief to the people who suffer under
the influence Of these miserable intrigues.
Fellow Citizens, can We expect an honest
man, can we have the assurance to ask man
of the least sensibility of feeling, to fill an
Office, thus exposed to the assaults both of
friends and foes ?-Had we not better send
to France for our next President? A French
man. it is well known, has no such feelings
as would render such state, in the least I'M
pleasant. Provided we clothe him with the
power, he will disregard alike both the aceu-
sation OF enemies, and the reproach OF friends,

From the National mteIligeneer.


1t will be observed by our paper OF this
day, that Congress are convened to meet at
an earlier day than thatappointed by the con-
stitution. 1t cannot be expected that the con
siderations which produced this measure VIII
be fully known until they shall be disclosed
to the legislature. 1t is to be presumed that
it grows out of our foreign relations. ltseems
to be understood that the communications OF
NJ. Foster do not correspond with the rea-
sonable expectations which might have been
formed. We do not understand that they
have extended directly to any subject beyond
the orders in council and the blockade of May
1906. With respect to this blockade, it is
understood to be placed under construction
and on a footing to render it no longer an In
superable difficulty.
AS to the Orders in Council, it would seem
that repeal of them is made to depend, not
only on further evidence than is yet afforded
OF any repeal whatever of the French DEGREES
but on repeal of these DEGREES in far grea
ter extent than the United States have requir
ed or can require as violating any OF then
neutral rights And an idea is held out of Q
retaliation on the nonimportation act, if con
tinued in force without such repeal of the
French DEGREES as is contended for by Great
Britain.
