iv Hino’iic whom the oilenre was committed, all
Imd their weight in die fnelincs and i>« ;r:m nt
of the Executive, ft will he further iccolh el-
ed, that ihe convict wns sentenced to « nine-
rnent widiont labor, a circumstance, wliich in
Imticcd expence, and was of ev il teedi ncy a*
mongst the rest of the prisoners. I siw no pro
priety, however, iti the State's incurring n to
Ml loss of Ihe reward, and of Ihc mniuUi i nice
■f the indiviilual also, t niicr this view, I, no
doubt, on several occasions, expressed an opi
nion, tlmt il was proper that the reward should) which w
be refunded. This bow ;vc M , was never made
; condition, or h
di.charge.
I he sum having been refunded, in the mind
of the l>.e(nHivo, strengthened the convict's
claim to clemency, and it would have been ex
tended, but for an indelicate anil otlensivc let-
ter received on the UOth Poplemlier, evincing
that the c. mvicl was not so lit nn olijeet, ns el
first believed. In justice, however, lo Mr.

note,he offered atonement for his previous im
prudence. This being followed by n petition

Hopkins has been discharged. I do not with

xv, we think we will not risk contradicti
on, and much les; conviction of error, in say
ing, that Mr. Calhoun is the advocate of fir
ritlc of vrmslruclion, although he may hove been
opposed to some of the measures to which it
tenth •). Ho may not have been the ad
vocate of the jl'.ii.n uml Sedition Laws, or of the
mri restriction, but/ie was the ndvocale of
the charter ol Ihc Bank of the United biates,
and (lie Father id t!i<* system of Internal Im
provement*, to ihe adoption of which Intt, the
constitutional objections of Mr. Madison and
Mr. Moiiioe alone presented nn obstacle. If
then, this rule of construction was in its origin
n federal one, and is now avow* d by Mr. Cal
houn, quo ad hoc, Mr. Calhoun is u federalist in
principle.
After the ratification of Jay's treaty, another
question was presented,on w hich the two par
lies were again arrayed against each other.—
In ihi-, was involved Ihc force and effect ol a
treaty after ratification, especially ns relates to
the obligation il imposed upon Congress to car
ry into effect. By the foderulis s il wns con
tended, that it repealed all laws contrary to il,
nt tin? lime il whs ratified, and (hat all its pro
visions became law, w i'hout an act of Con-
gi’rss, or imposed uu obligation upon Congress,
nolens coleus, to pas* tin* law* neccsMiry to
carry Into etlct. '] his doctrine Was triu mphant-
ly opposed by the republicans in the House of
Kcpresentntives, who sustained Ihe power of
Congress, lo Adopt or reject ihe treaty as law,
!»y passing, or refusing to pais such laws.
The fame question was presented al the con
clusion of the late war, cm the treat) conclud
ed with Great Britain, and Mr. Calhoun in 1816
advocated the same principles supported by the
federalists in 17V3. As to ilint question, then,
Mr Calhoun is also a federalist in principle.

The policy or impolicy of the same measure
was discussed on I lie conclusion ol Ihe led*
treaty of peace with local Britain, and deeply
in drill as tlial war had plunged the nation, and
desirable ns it was to discharge that debt, Mr.
Calhoun advocated, publicly advocated tin
r* lento u ol a large Handing military • stabli-h-
m* • t and continues yet to do so—Vpul* iLis
subject, then he is also a federalist.
Allied to llie two last, another measure of
the federal ndmistration, hateful in Ihe vi^ht oi
the republicans, wus, ihu creation of a public
delit, l» borrowing money in time oj'peace.—
The period isjust } ltd, w lien h) cause- beyond
the control oi legislation, Ihc revenue deiivrd
from im[?ost?, fell gmilly short of Mil* rmi oiul
expences, nnd it was ncccssmy to decide upon
the | roprietyi f reducing ihc establishment.-* r«-
tpiii ing such expences, or increasing the public
debt by borrowing the money necessary to
preserve them. We think wc hem* some of
our readers a*k, “ if il wns possible (hut Mr.
Colhouti could hesitate in recomi*M r.ding the
reduction of the expensive establishments, at a
crisis like I li is r” Incredible ns such a course
may appear in one professing to be a “ republi
can of Mu* old school," yet he did hesitate—
nnr, openly opposed, and yet grumbles at ihe
reduction of the army, and of the expcnces ol
the War Department generally. This i« a fact
familiar to every one w ho has attended to the
proceedings of the government for (lie Insl
three years. It was in Ihe opposition ol Mr.
Calhoun and hi* friends to .he.se redactions, so
politically •ell-evident, that the term lladicnh | toxvon
w as applied to the friends of reirenchment, and culled ?f a
which is yet applied to iliern with a biiterncss
that xvould imply something of a charge ol cri
minality. For ourselves, w e have no b ars a-

have made, those i.ow called “ Radical . are
precisely such as w ere exiled “ old school re

Philip Barbour at their head in Congress 'i lie

time when Mic “ republicans of the old school"
we-e called Democrats, Jacobins, Terrorists, and

lorti*d by calling (heir adversaries, Aristocrats
and Monarchists. The people nt last judged
• ach by their principles, and so soon as these
were understood, a vast majority became. De

important document we learn, “ that our
commercial differences with France ai d
Great Britain have been placed in a train nf
amicable arrangement, on conditions fair
and honorable, in both instances, tii each
party • that our finances are in a very pro
ductive state ; our revenue being al present
fully competent tn all the demands upon it ;
that our military force is well organized in
all its branches, ami capable of rendering
the most important service, in ease of emer
gency, that its number will admit of; that
due progress Iras been made, u .tier existing
appropriations, in the construction nf forti
fications, and in Ihe operations of the ord
nance department; Hr it due progress has,
in like manner, been made in the construc
tion of ships of war ; that our navy is in the
best condition, felt and respected, in every
-cn in which it is employed for tire protec
tion of our commerce ; that our manufac

proved in quality ; that great progress has i - - ’ ' '
been made in the settlement of account ,

matter in which the people always feel a
