WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.
While the Senate are with closed doors discussing the treaty, between the United States and France, the Aurora, with his usual respect for truth, asserts, that the discussion is public, and that the doors are kept open by the casting vote of the Vice-President.
This is termed by the Democrats giving information to the people, and this is considered as the Liberty of the Press. That facts concealed from the public eye should be misrepresented, was to have been expected from the violence and malignity which have so long characterized the faction of this country; but that a wilful untruth should be told respecting a fact that is obvious to all, as is the situation of the doors of the Senate, is one of the wonderful instances every day given, of the perfect contempt in which the Democrats hold the morals of the people, whom they must consider as completely corrupted, or they would not venture to make such palpable misstatements.
