The Democratic Press says eff France
does not faithfully perform her whole duty BY
removing sequcstration and confirming hts
repeal in August Of her anti-ncutrl decrcss,
Congress viii probably be called to put hsf
ships, trade and goods under the same coal-
| mercial exclusions as those of Great Britain.
Our dependence Oh our own internal resours
ces will be greatly INCREASED by the exciu-
sion of French and British manufactures and
productions"
The same paper adds: " We mustbe in
earnest: We must adhere to CIR system, at
the expense OF luxury, and even of war, if
our spectators make war against US"
The Wing of Monday contains the follow
ing candid avowal
We sincerely wish the overthrow OF
England for humanity's sake,---for sake Of
Justice ---for sake of maritime freedom"
Although it is an odd kind of hunmnitp, to
hope for the destruction of thousands, we
sincerely believe this fervcnt wish was breath
cd warm from the heart of the editor,
AS, twing'd with pain, he pensive sits,
And raves, and Lruys, and swears, by FITS"
The Aurora says, g 1t is impossible, unless
the nation is totally unfit for elective govern.
nlent, that MIR. Madison and Mr.. Gallatin can
stand together" A very short period will
determine this point and should Mr.. Madi-
in office, Col. Dnane's only resort viii be to
propose "a new. form of government say a
First Consul for life, to begin with: Our pre-
sent Constitution must be strangely defective,
which allows the president to retain man in
his service, contrary to the plain and repeat
ed dictates of---several newspaper editors
The Essays of Mines, from which we have
heretofore published some extracts, are con-
tinued in the Aurora. As they are marked
by candid and liberal spirit, they have been
attacked by another writer in the same paper,
under the signature of Sallust. Minos calls
Mr.. Gallatin's report on the subject of canals,
" the luminous perspective of the American
Neckar :" thus treating the colonei's denun-
Citations with the most pointed contempt.
The Enquirer seems to be in hurry to get
at the Aurora. He says:
" The .dur0ra seems determined to shoot
through a long cUN---we mean no fan, on our
honor---at least seven columns have been al
ready exploded, and its bolt is nor get shot,
We intreat, for hty's sake, that the writer
would BRING his long talk to close, as soon
as it is convenient. For on what footing do
stand The patience of the public may be
exhausted, before we have an opportunity TO
rcplv---there MY not be single Sdrop" OF
it left for us. Now, is this fair deaiing!"
II the Enquirer waits for Col Duane to
keep silence, his cause may be considered as
desperate. We thought he knew, that it has
uniformly been by asserting and re-asserting
a---fAing, that the colonel carries his point
that he never retreats from a---cireumstanee,
but stouty g maintains his POSITION
6 Forward, and fond to shew his parts,
ellis highness 6rays."
If the Enquirer has any thing to says ne
might as well speak out at once In truth,
rather than shrink from the contest, at the re-
quest Of an enemy, Duane would favor the
world with second edition of all that ne has
already published on the subject. S
