The leading article OF the National Intelligent
Ger of yesterday, while il undertakes 10 be re
Jolnder TO our reply 10 its first article, Execu
tive power is in fact. only criticism Of Gen
Jackson's Bank Veto Message, and Protest
Message, for neither of which are we in any
way responsible. We do not see that il touches
the argument presented in our Saturdays paper
nor does il seem 10 us to be very successful
vindication Of its own positions The whole Of
its reasoning so far as we are concerned, is
founded upon false premises, and therefore It's
conclusions do not apply 10 us. Il proceeds up
on the premise that, our doctrine makes the
Executive supreme over all things" Such a
doctrine has never entered into our imagination
and we are quite sure il has not appeared in the
columns of the Madisonan. We have other
business to occupy our attention now, but another
day we may endeavor to rescue at least, Mr..
Madison's name, from the suspicion of favorpg
the doctrine that the Executive is cipher, and
that the Legislature and the Judiciary are ''su-
preme over all things"
