MR.. BoTTs-THE MADIsoNIAN.

We understand that Mr.. Bolts made the SOL
emn declaration in the House yesterday that
this paper had only some 200 subscrbers-and
that two pages of the daily sheet are filled with
an advertisement paid for by the Government.
AT this moment it is only our intention to say
that we circulate some 1000 copies of the
Madisonian, and that the Government does not
pay for the advertisement in the daily paper.
The Government paid for its insertion in the
country paper for certain number Of times,
and we have merely used the standing type in
order to further the purposes of the Government,
for which no charge is made. All daily papers
fill their outside pages with standing advertise
ments, and when they are not published in large
commercial cities, they are inserted grHtui-
tously. #
If Mr.. Bolts should thus succeed in sinking
our paper, we can only say that we will go down

CONGRESSIONAL COURTESY AND DECO
RUM.

If the members OF the National Legislature
were properly alive to their own standing with
their constituents they would be much more
guarded than they are in their conduct towards
each other in the transaction of public business.
The squabbles and personal vituperations by
which the Legislative halls have been marked,
are but too well calculated to place these gen
temen in no enviable position at home, at least
among the sober and rejecting portions of the
community. Public opinion constitutes in a
country, such as ours, where there exists no or
ganzed force to sustain the administration of
the laws, their great safeguard and if the people
find that the trainers of them treat each other with
contempt, they will be very apt to regard enact
ments coming from such a source with any
other sentiments than those Of respectful con-
sderation. There was time when to be
a member of Congress was to practice the
].digni6ed observances appropriate to so high
station, and when differences of opinion,
however firmly urged, were advocated with
proprety and decorum that, whilst it
commanded the respect Of all observers, pro-
NOTED personal amity and good feeling even
among political opponents, To be gentleman
is certainly becoming, every where, but in no
place does the character appear to so great adj
vantage as when set forth in the assembled
council of the nation. 1t may be said that too
much etiquette might trammel the freedom so
indispensable to political discussion, but we
think that moments reflection will show that
the preservation of good feeling promotes intel
lectual expansion, and consequently comprehen-
| siyeness OF argument more than any thing else

THE RE ORGANIZATION OF THE
NAVY DEPARTMENT.

We would express confident hope that the
plan of reorganization presented by the faithful
and gifted Secretary Of the Navy will meet with
the prompt and hearty concurrence of our law
makers at the east end Of the Avenue. Expe
rence has shown that unity and direct account
ability are Indispensable to the proper discharge
of Executive functions, and whilst we would
not for an instant be suspected of attaching
blame to the honorable and distinguished Off
GERS concerned, we would hope that such sys-
tenn will be adopted as shall render their valua
bic services, to the utmost degree, useful TO the
country. Governments within governments
uniformly parayze effort, and, by dividing re-
sponsibility, introduce uncertainty and want Of
power Let the proposed plan, or something
similar in general principle, be adopted, and we
venture TO predict that the Naval Department
will be all that the devoted friends Of that arm
OF the service can desire.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT.

The letter below was addressed by the President to
the committee who invited him to attend the Tyler
dinner in Philadelphia the the Odd inst The let
ter may well be carefully considered for il sets forth
plainly the embarrassments and difficulties which Mr.
Tyler has felt-and it would seem, deeply fet-since
his accession to hi. present office. Those who do not
look for super-human virtue public men, and who are
DESTROYS to afford reasonable and patriotic support
to the Administration and to subdue, rather than IN
iiame i'll feelings, will 6nd perhaps, in this letter
some reason to admit that the President has been sab
lected to severe ordeal and is entitled to kindly

THE MISSING STEAMER.

Whilst we do not attach any material import
ance TO the delay that has occurred in the arri-
val OF the Caledonia steamer from Liverpool,
expected at Boston, we cannot avoid being re-
minded OF the awful state of suspense in which
large portion Of our feow-ctizens were kept
by similar occurrence, in the case of the Pre-
sident. The boisterous weather reported TO
have been experienced by the Hibernia packet
ship, OF New York, about the time at which
the Caledonia is supposed 10 have been between
the banks OF Newfoundland and Halifax, is not
calculated to diminish apprehension as regards
the safety of that vessel; but is far from be-
ing conclusive as TO any mischance having be-
fallen her. The steamship Caledonia is,
in point of size, better adapted than the
President to stand stress of weather, being
much smaller and more compact in her dimen-
slons, and thus avoiding the vast strain that must
take place when vessels of great length, loaded
with vast weight of metal, are subjected to
the action OF the ocean 1t appears that, TO
guard against any irregularity in the transmits"
sion OF the mail TO England the Unicorn was
in readiness at Boston to proceed on the route
at the appointed time, as far as Halifax, and, in
the event of necessity, TO Liverpool Should
any disaster have occurred to the CALEDONIA, we
fear that public confidence in Atlantic naviga-
ton by steam will sustain severe shock but if
properly regarded, the matter should not produce
such result, when the number oftrlps perform
ed by steamships is taken into account.

is fairly to be placed TO their account The civil
and military services Of the country are, it must
be confessed, in condition calculated to red
den with the blush of shame the cheek of every
patriot and well-wisher to the country. Public
credit has been shaken TO its centre, and the
State and National good faith have been sacri-
feed, and ifthe question be asked, why is such
the case II is our painful and humiliating du-
ty to express our belief, that partisan ma
nagement and personal ambition have been per-
mitted TO put aside the vital interests of the ma
ton, whilst the Halls Of Congress have been
converted into an arena for the exhibition Of
scenes as disgraceful to the nation as they are
subversive Of our institutions.
or these things we shall say no more at pre-
sent; but shall take occasion to continue the
subject, in all probability, in our paper Of tomor-
row, showing, as we think, incontestibly, that
whilst the same promptness, energy and ability
have been manifested by the heads Of the dlffe-
rent branches Of the Executive service, similar
indulgence of passion, ill-leeling, and neglect,
has been manifested by the National Legislature
in regard to their recommendations and requisi-
tons

Mr.. Dickens ON INTERNATIONAL CoPYRIGHT.-
The Charleston Mercury, which generally speaks to
the point holds the following language
"The dinner given in honor of Mr.. Dickens, part
of the proceedings of which copy from New
York paper was very tasteful affair." and more
appropriate honor than the grand jam with which the
Knickerbockers first welcomed him. "Boz" makes
first rate Speech easy, of-hand, naire and full of
feeling We glad to thing, that he is not
to be driven from his point about the international
copyright because few editors have called it indeli
cate, and all that He is right, Dickens is received
in this country as literary man. and why should he
not touch upon topic which is matter of lively IN
terest and warm discussion to the whole literary
world He is himself interested, to be sure, in the
extension Of the right of authors but so is every
other writer; shall they, therefore, keep still out of
pure delicacy and wait till those who have interest
in the subject magnanimousy take up their cause .
The affairs of the word are not so managed. Men
not only take of their own interests without
bushng for the ''indelicacy' of it, but by all sensible
people they are considered bound to do, and will
be held contemplate and worthless if they do not
Because we gather round Dickens, throng upon him,

and not for the world to touch topic that has ever
attained to the dignity of being mentioned in Congress-
for fear some of the three thousand people with
in hearing may have written newspaper paragraph
against international copyright, or, worst OF ALL for
fear the "foolscap' branch of the Home Leaguers"
should find occasion to say che is fighting against the
paper manufacture y Whether we agreed with Mr.
Dickens, or not we would still say it was perfectly
right and appropriate to introduce topic which is
considered of all others the most vitality interesting to

OPEN ENEM IES-FALSE FRIENDSHIP
MOVAIS

We meet open enemies with alacrity-we
meet them prepared with arguments to over
throw them-arguments which cause US to OPP
pose them conscientiously. In warning thus,
we fight, as we honestly suppose, in behalf Of
the country. If right, we must succeed-if
wrong, we are convinced of il by ultimate de-
feat. But, victorious or defeated, we can re-
gard our open and avowed enemies that deal
fairly, as honorable opponents. We respect
them none the less for differing with US the
more Difference OF opinion we regard as an
error of judgment.
But how are we TO deal with false friends.
Treacherous, pusillanimous and contemplate
with smiles for the face and curses and stabs
Tor the back-now seeking patronage or office,
with honied professions of unity Of sentiment,
and next fastening To the camp of the enemy
to promulgate base ISLANDERS and concoct fresh
fabrcations. How are we to deal with these
This is the great difficulty. But there is a RENE
dr. These false friends are not only encoun-
tered in the persons of o6fce-seekers: thousands
Of them are found among oFFlcE-HoLDERs.
1t is our deliberate conviction, that while the
President is tasking his energies (whichis true)
by the light Of early dawn, and the ftful ray of
the midnight taper, TO devise remedies for the
ills of a suffering People, and measures to re-
store the wonted prosperity Of the country, it is
duty due to himself-to the country, whose des-
TIMES, in great measure, are contided to his
keeping by the Constitutional hurl from office
without delay those miscreants who dtsecrate
their places to exercise a counteractng intiu
ence against the means adopted by him to en-
sure the peace and welfare Of the nation He
has open enemies enough, God knows. But it
is too much to see around him in the CAPITOL
nay, almost of his household, a band of insidi-
Gus foes, who, under the guise of friendship
omit no opportunity (when the least conceal
ment favors them) to thwart, distract and OPP
pose his best designs. Under the peculiar cir
cumstances which have existed up to the pre-
sent moment, the combined wisdom and firm
ness of Washington, Jefferson and Jackson in
the Presidential chair, could not have suficed to
avert such state of things. But the mist is
clearing away. Concurring friends will now be
easily distinguished from secret opposing en-
emies. Ii is vain to contend that active and
malicious foes should be retained in office We
are opposed to prescription for opinion sake !:
but in the innumerabe instances where it is APP
parent that hostile acts have been committed,
it is solemn and imperative DUTY on the part
Of the President to dismiss the evil doors from
Office II matters not how high in political repu-
tation, or powerful in the means TO oppose when
removed, we have reason to know that he who
now occupies the responsible station Of Presi-
any responsibility imposed upon him by virtue
of his office by the dictates Of conscience, and
justice to his fellow men and his own fair name.
