THE NATIONAL IsTELIIGENcER--A
newspaper controversy with the editors
Of the National Intelligencer, cannot but
be more irksome to the Secretary of
State than to them. But when in their
half apologize and confessing, but still
accusatory, article of the 18th inst. they
conclude that he has done them great
injustice, they only betray their anxiety
to shift the position, which they them
selves had assumed, and to complain Of
the injustice they had done, as il it were
that they had suffered.
I They had been the first to commence
this warfare, by denouncing the Secre-
tary of State before the nation, for an
act done by him in the performance of
his public duty. Did they imagine that
he was precluded BY his situation from
meeting them in their own columns, and
therefore that they could assail him, not
only with impunity, but bereft OF all
means Of self-defences If such was his
situation, would it not have been mo-
tive with fair and honest adversaries for
abstaining from the attack; or, for post
poning 1t, and asking for the rendered
explanations.-or, at least, for making it
true statement of facts and a frank
avowal of motives?
Had the attack been merely personal
to himself, he undoubtedly would have
felt himself forbidden from noticing it /;
but, the whole transaction connects
itself indissolubly with great, concert
ed, and formidable opposition to the
administration of Mr.. Monroe, If which
the movements in the Senate against the
Slave Trade Convention, was bat one
act--an opposition which had already
shown itself. upon other important mea-
sures, directed by other departments,
but which aow. for the srst time, took

far delayed, with an injustice far greater
than any exercised towards Mr.. ADAMS,
upon the worst construction that it may
please him to put upon the NATTER
When the reader understands that th,
bulk of the documents connected with
the last Session of Congress considera-
bly, exceeds twenty Royal octave vol
umes, he will comprehend the impossi
bility of our publishing, or, we may sa,
reading, the fourth part of what is reali,
interesting in them There is no reader,
| we should also hope, that does not also
comprehend that, where the soluminous-
ness Of public documents repels the idea
Of their publication in the newspapers
in ertsnso, it is not only the right but the
duty of the conductor of a newspaper
to proportion his selections from them
to his space aud to other engagements
for his columns. All that he can hope
to do is to afford his readers general
view of the grounds of public measures.
Having our attention now called to
this matter, and desrous at this lime as
ever. to do all possible justice to the
Executive, as well as to the public, and
Mr.. Adams having declared the docu-
ments on this subject communicated to
the House of Representatives to be ma
terial to correct understanding OF the
merits of the Convention, we shall pub
lish those documents some time in the
,o,reo - THE xvaolr
In what we have stated on this subject
to-day, it will be further seen, that the
exception taken by Mr.. Adams to the
National Intelligencer did .ot relate to
any publication authorized BY the De-
partment ouer mhich he presides, or by
any other Department Of the Government,
but to a publ, alton made, under the
circumstance of great pressure at the
close of the Session Of Congress, for
the qualification Of our readers, and by
the aid of distinguished Member of
the House of Representatives, deeply
Interested in the success of the Treaty,
who was kind enough to procure these
papers for us. after ve had failed in an
effort to procure them for ourselves.
The matter was one, therefore, in regard
to which we owed neither obligation
nor responsibility to the Secretary of
State, and over which he has assumed a
jurisdiction Of character entirely with
cut precedent in this country.
There is one remark in the Journal
article; with reference to which we can
say, without hesitation, that, III our
intercourse, public and private, with the
Secretary of State, he has deserved at
our hands, heretofore, nothing but kind
ness and respect The grateful remem-
brance of these it is not in his power to
obliterate by the harshness of his present
treatment.
We now take leave of this subject,
we hope, forever he Secretary Of
State has done US great injustice. We
have so much confidence in the integri-
ty of his principles, that we believe the
time will come when he will himself be
sensible of it. Ii shall not be our fault
if he be ever again publicly reminded
Of it.

The brig John of Portland, bound to Maanzas has
