Message of the President, will receive,,.we would

The prosperity and reputation of onr [Navy urc

have availed to produce any disagreement of o-
pinion among the People. It is at mice the best
external defence, apd the least dangerous to in
ternal liberty—an advantage considered always,
hitherto, of paramount consequence in Repub
lican governments. It is by our Navy that wc
are known in distant countries, and it is, in a
good degree, on the character of our Naval Of
ficers, that our national reputation will depend
with those nations with which onr hitcicnu!i,e
is necessarily small. That these should form,
therefore, a well educated, skilful, and honora
ble body of men, (as we Me proud to sav, they
have always done,) is desirable in the highest

We are authorized tu state, Hint the
prospectus for the publication of the M.Sri.
of tltb lute Thomas Jefferson, w ill tie tiller
ed for subscription next mouth, apd that
it is contemplated to deliver the work to
subscribers early next summer. These
papers were, for the most part, noted for
" '.ution und arranged chronologically
iry the author, during his life, und then
designated to the person to whom they
were afterwards consigned at Ins death.
They are miscellaneous in tlieir charac
ter, consisting of a memoir of liimst'lf, ter
minating in llie year 1789, when lie be
came Secretary of State to Gen. Washing
ton, and a voluminous correspondence
from 1779 to itis death. AH his letters
will not, of course, be published. It is de
signed, however, only to ouiit those which
relate to the private affairs of liim.-df or o-
thers,oi' the ordinary details of businoss, &.

terest, whether moral or political. We
h e l, w ,-.o .«i«i nt mese papers, the moralist,
t lie Philosopher&lhe Politician, will find
much to amuse, instruct aud interest him.
We rejoice ut the prospect of an early
publication of this work, becuuse, amongst
other reasons, of the varied constructions
at this time given to the opinions of Mr.
Jefferson, tending to induce tlie belief
that he was not always consistent. The
great political reformer will now speak for
himself; ia his own decisive and energetic
language, promulgating his own hold and
derable acquaintance is requisite with the gene- incontrovertible doctrines. Wo do not

Cvl. Dovrne, the Witness !—Mr, Gnz-

the month of August lust, he was in com
pany with Dr. Rettn, Judge Harry, Gen.
Taylor of K., Mr. Miigrmlcr, Mr. While-
head, ami Col. ilotirne, at Cincinnati.—
Upon tlie subject of n previous under
standing between the friends of Messrs.
Clay and Adams, Col. H. said it was “ mi-
necessary to -discuss the circumstantial
evidence on the subject, for tlint lie know
tin; fact that there was u previous under
standing.”—
” TIiat lie lwd received a letter from a
friend and relative of his in Congress,
who - was also a warm, or confidential
friend of Mr. Clay, -dated two or throe
weeks befoixj the election of Preside ut by
the House, stating that Mr. Adams would
be President, and Mr. Clay Secretary of
State: that it would he a bitter pill, but
tlmt Mr. Clay’s friends-were reconciled to
it by tlie circumstance, that Mr. Clay
would lie Secretary of State; and would,
in ull probability, succeed Mr. Adams as
President. Mr. Ronnie then remarked,
that he knew that Mr. Adams .was the
last choice of the writer of this 'letter: and
that nothing could have induced liitn to
vote for Mr. Adams but bis warm attach
ment to Mr. Clay, lie declared that lie
had received this letter under no injunc
tions of secrecy or confidence ; nor did
he so speak of it now : nud that lie could
produce, it at any moment. Mr. Bourne
also stated that at the last election of
President, he'hud been the warm friend
of Mr. Adams ;‘that his objection to Gen.
Jackson still cuntimiud, but that disap
proving, ns he did, of the manner in which
Mr. Adams was elected, be was now nett-
iral. lie further observed, that he now
held nn office tinder the administration,
but that tlmt office was the office of the
country, mid that he should he very sorry
to permit it to trammel his opinion or his
vote ; that on such terms, he would not
hold it n moment. Upon which, 'Gen.
Taylor remarked, “then there may have
hecn intriguing all round; for it is evident
that the friends df General Jackson were
endeavoring to use the office of Secretary
ofritate to advance his election.” Alter u
few desultory observations, the conversa
tion ceased, ami the put ties separated.’

been felt, indeed, too often, in matters of this
kind, to render any argument iteccjkary of the

Our public vessels, too, visiting countries re

Tho National .Journal is endeavoring
to itinke nn impression, that the corres

Southard, would produce n schism be
tween Gen. Jackson and Mr. Monroe.—
Unless we are grosslydeceived, Mr. Mon
roe has long gince received a copy of that
correspondence ; if so, so fur as Mr. .Mon
roe is concerned, Gen. Jackson can have
nothing to lose by its publication. We
do not pretend to know what Mr. Mon

ject, nro ; htit if wo limy lie permitted to
judge from the part taken by his most in
timate and confidential friends, we must
believe that tlie combined efforts of sveo-
expeet that tlie proposed publication will
be alike agreeable to all. He who at
tempts to reform or enlighten mankind,
must ever be opposed by ignorance, bigot
ry and interested zeal, and while in oilier
countries the Altar and tho Throne form
the rallying points of opposition to every
innovation upon existing abuses,—in this,
the same motives operate scarcely less ef
fectually without the aid of power or
priestcraft, lint, by the friends of human
liberty, it will lx: duly appreciated, nml

of republicanism.

Those who are not admirers of the late
Lord Castlercagh, will agree in placing
him in this category, which is one of the
most mischievous. Where there existsau
absolute disagreement between the volun
tary and the intellectual (towers, or where
there is even a wide disparity in their for

there are occasions in which tlie greatest
characters fail, from local and accidental
circumstances, acting upon slight inequa
lities of these two principles -of action.
Tho volition of Ntqioleon at .Moscow was
too powerful for his intellect; nud it be

OLD SEDITION LAW. '
Mr. Hamilton submitted the follow,
iug :
Whereas, a law was passedhy the Con-
gress uf the United States, approved on
the 14th July, 1798, entitled “an Act in
addition to tin act for the punishment of
certntii crimes against the United States ■"
which said act is commonly known by
the nnnie of the Sedition Law 1
lie it resolved, That the said law wits a
violation of the Constitution of the
nited Status, by “ abridging the freedom of
the press.”
lit it further resolved, Tlmt, as several
persons were indicted, convicted, ami 6 „f.
fered in pecuniary penalties under tttis
law, that tho Committee of Wavs nml
Means be directed to report a bill which
shall make ■full provision for refunding
to the said persons tlic amount, with law-
fit! interest, of tlie fines which they may
have (mid to the respective Mtirslmfs
of the District Courts empowered to levy
and receive tlie same. And in case of
the.death, nr the absence from the Uttiieif
States, of tiny oftlie said parties, then to
their legal representatives, or such person
nr parsons as may bo duly authorized to
receive the same.
Mr. Hamilton mid, that he did tiny
rise l’or the purpose of asking the House
to consider, «t the present moment, tlic
resolutions which he had just Imd the
honor of -buhmining. His object w.va
rather to indicate the time nt which ho
should ask such « consideration : lor he
was awuie thut the resolutions covered too
much ground, mid involved too mimy
delicate considerations, both-of principle
and expediency, to be .precipitately dis
cussed.
lie hoped that, ns an net of justice
which he owed te himself, he mig-ht bo
permitted to avow, that, in moving iri
this mutter, he was influenced by no de
sire to make the past subservient to wnv
purpose of contemporary excitement.—
The resolutions were introduced because
he believed that the parties who had suf
fered in pecuniary penalties under the
Sedition Law, were just us much entitled
to have the fines which they had paid re
funded to them, as an ordinary suitor in
a "Court of Justice was to have a sum of
money refunded to him which he hod
(iniil, either through fraud or mistake,ami,
ill hisdumililc opinion, the only effectual
mode of offering a fit atonement for tlie
violation inflicted on the Constitution, by
tho passage of tlie Seditiou Law, was, to
make full indemnity to those who had suf
fered by its enforcement.
The question w as one purely of ab
stract justice and constitutional law, and,
as such he desired to present it. lie chal
lenged the fullest discussion and freest
opposilion, and hud no hesitation in'de
claring that, if, in the light which the de
bate was calculated tp elicit, lie should lie
convinced tlmt lie was sustaining, ett
principle,nn untenable position,he would
be the first to relieve the House of till fur
ther trouble in regard to the resolutions,
by moving to withdraw them. But, be
lieving precisely the reverse, till be ask
ed was an eqtiul frankness on all sides w

met, not blinked or slimmed,’ utitl liimlly.
openly, and manfully, set tit rest forever.
Ho would, therefore, for the presseiffi
move that ilia resolutions be printed, imd

notice that, on tin: second Mqtiflay.efhimt-
