ANALYSES.
From me National MtcMgenecr.


The following extraordinary publication
from the late secretary of state has appeared,
in the form of pamphlet, as well as in
most OF the newspapers in opposition to the
government, and perhaps in some of DIFF
terent character. 1t is now some weeks since.
1t was exultingly announced bv federalprnts
that Mr.. Robert Smith was about to publish
" an attack on Mr.. Madison" We had fat
tered ourselves that the conductors of these
journals had suffered their hopes of discor6
to deceive them, and that regard for his owp
reputation and feeling, if not for the public
good, would have withheld the threatened
publication of MIR. Smith. But the appear
ance OF his address has dissipated hopes SO
nationally entertained, and given birth to
feelings painful in proportion to the regret we
feel at being irresistibly irnpelled by every
consideration Of principle, to express senti-
ments in relation to its author, very different
from those we have been disposed to enter
tam. 1 he publication in question is highly
reprehensible in a variety of respects as a
shameful breach of official and personal con-
hdence; as an underhand insidious recur-
renee to circumstances in which he cannot
be chastised by contradiction, the facts be-
ing known only to the party attacked, whose
official station foroids reply even for the
refutationo CT calumny; as a malignant Though
feeble atteFnpt to pull down the government
and constitution which he was bound by eve
ry tie of honor and honesty to support. We
here present to our readers the pamphlet
complete, and in our next number we shall
.ollow it with some structures In this task
we shall however confne ourselves to a sin
gle review Of the document itself We shall
pry into no Office secrets to test the truth or
detect the falsity of any of its statements
we shall not ask from the president any facts
within his knowledge; since he certainly
would not stop - impart them for the sake
OF repclling pitiful assault on his personal
character. No, we wiilnot even strip the re-
creant production Of this cloak, too scant in &
deed to hide its deformity. We take the
publication into cur closet and dwell only oni
its inherent character, expose it's nefariogg
principle, and notice its glaring absurdiieG
