Mr. Genet, not content with using our force, whether we will or not, in the military line against nations with whom we are at peace, undertakes also to direct the civil government; and particularly for the executive and legislative bodies, to pronounce what powers may or may not be exercised by the one or the other. Thus, in his letter of June the 8th, he promises to respect the political opinions of the President, _till the Representatives shall have confirmed or rejected them_; as if the President had undertaken to decide what belonged to the decision of Congress. In his letter of June the 4th, he says more openly, that the President ought not to have taken on himself to decide on the subject of the letter, but that it was of importance enough to have consulted Congress thereon; and in that of June the 22d, he tells the President in direct terms, that Congress ought already to have been occupied on certain questions which he had been too hasty in deciding; thus making himself, and not the President, the judge of the powers ascribed by the Constitution to the executive, and dictating to him the occasion when he should exercise the power of convening Congress at an earlier day than their own act had prescribed. On the following expressions, no commentary shall be made: July 9. "Les principes philosophiques proclamées par le Président." June 22. "Les opinions privées ou publiques de M. le President, et cette égide ne paroissant, pas suffisante." June 22. "Le gouvernement fédéral s'est empressé, poussé par je ne scais quelle influence." June 22. "Je ne puis attribuer, des démarches de cette nature qu'à des impressions étrangéres dont le tems et la vérité triompheront." June 25. "On poursuit avec acharnement, en vertu des instructions de M. le Président, les armateurs Français." June 14. "Ce réfus tend à accomplir le système infernal du roi d'Angleterre, et des autres rois ses accomplices, pour faire périr par la famine les Républicains Français avec la liberte." June 8. "La lache abandon de ses amis."
