We find these words Of the President in al
most every paper we open. They are not only
universally copied, but seem TO elicit universal
commentator. Truly the Intelligencer was
correct, in saying there would be a REACTION.

THE NAVY.

The Courier and Enquirer copies, with some
very sensible remarks Of its own, an article from
the Baltimore Patriot, stating, with strong ex-
pressions of censure and denunciation, that a
boy, guilty of pententiary offence, has been
pardoned on condition that he would enlist as
a napdi apprentice, and that the arrangement
has been assented to by the Department.
It's to be regretted that the editor of the Pa
triot who lives in the city where the fact is said
pains to ascertain It, before he ventured 10 pub
lish it to the world, with injurious and exciting
comments. II is still more to be regretted that
"a naval officer" upon whose authority the Pa
trot processes to speak, should have so far for
gotten the duty which he owed TO himself and
to the service to which he belongs, as to ha-
card, without due inquiry, an assertion calcu-
lated to reflect so seriously upon the admnistra-
ton of the Navy Department. The Navy has
had enemies enough to contend against, with
out adding to the number indiscreet newspaper
editors and still more indiscreet Navy officers.
The editor Of the Patriot is informed that
there is no truth lohateuer in the statement he
has made. The naval apprentices have no.
thing to apprehend from the present Secretary
Of the Navy. On the contrary, we have reason
to know that his attention is anxiously given to
that subject, and that he is particularly DESTROYS
to place the system upon the best possible
footing.
The fact out OF which this injurious state
ment has arisen, is simply this very young
boy, Of very excellent general character, acct
dentally shot his companion, while playing on
the ice. The act was probably careless, and,
so far, culpable. He was tried and convicted Of
manslaughter, The Governor agreed to par
don him, if he could be enlisted in the naval
service. II was refused by the Department
unless satisf factory eridence could be produced
| Of the boys prerious good character, together
rith satisfactory certificates thatethe shooting,
notwithstanding the rerdict Of the jury, acas
probably accidental. Such evidence was pro-
duced, and the strongest inlercession was made
and repeated, by gentlemen of high standing,
IN order to save boy, scarcely beyond child
hood, and Of excellent general character, from
the ignominy of the Penitentiary, and from the
moral destruction to which the execution of his
sentence would probably condemn him. These
gentlemen, who witnessed the trial. condemned
the verdict of the jury in unqualified terms, and
expressed the most nndnnh,ing cnnv;",io. a..
the shooting was purely accidental. Under
these circumstances, the boy was permitted to
enlist not as an apprentice. AS nov; the
very lowest condition on board ship of war.
Whether or not the Governor should have ex-
erted his powerof pardon upon such condition, is
question with which the Navy Department
had no concern.
