THE GAG LAW IN FULL FORCE HERE
AT a district muster held IN this County
on Saturday the Goth ul,. Robert NJ. Noxon,
the Collector Of the Customs, at tins port,
attended TO enlghIcn the citizens on Federal
politics. He was interrupted n his harangue
by one Of our citizens, captain OF a small
vessel belonging 10 this port. The captain
was told by this democratic Office holder,
that when ne pu, himself on a level with hlm
Che captain) he would hold political con.
troyefsy with him and not before. The
Captain retorted that he thought himself
above the Office holder. The controversy
then ceased the drum beat MIR. Van Bu
ren's dead march--ihe self exalted Collec
tor hung down his hcad-and pretty soon
the company dispersed. Bot Mr.. Noxun
had not yet punished the lnsoleuce Of pr
yate citizen, aud he too the Captain OF a
vessel, for daring TO differ and dispute with
ham in politics. THIS man was IN his power,
he was poor man too, and worse than all,
be dared 10 be Independent Nos LEI Us see
the paltry revenge which the Office holder
took. The Captain had taken out new pa
pers two days before, and both lie aud the
Collector had forgotten the one To require
The other TO pay hospital money. The Cap.
tam was reminded Of the oversight and
promised TO settle With the Collector. -
Iaus the matter stood, when on Saturday
the political controversy took place. From
the muster Mr.. Noxon returned glowing
hot 10 Edenton, further uturlated no doubt
BY bearing the dead march of his great
chief and ordered a constable to arrest the
Captain for the hospital money. On Mon
day tie captain was arrested at the suit OF
Mr.. Noxon the Collector, but fortunately
ioy the individual upon whom bis dire ven.
geance fell, the laws Of the country did not
uphold the malice Of the officer, the Cap
tain was discharged by the law and the Col
lector was disappointed.
Thus begun and ended one Of the most
glaring assaults on popular righis which was
ever attempted in this community. Al
though we had good reason to believe tha,
every Office hol1cr was required TO DO ser
vice for his great chef in elections, We did
not think Que could be found at leas, here,
SO bold as TO attempt openly by force aud
under colour Of the Law aud BY virtue Of his
Office 10 punish a c,Izrn Tor daring 10 think
tia, the Country would be more prosperous
under another administration than that Of
Martin Van Buren,. Did We not see here
and throughout the whole union such uue.

+ grievances, We would call upon our citizens
to protect their rights and liberties from

A N1s Prcjeci.--The Baltimore Pilot
states, thai a scheme is now on loot al
Washington to prevent the conveyance OF
any papers, documents, &c, save through
The medium of the Post Office. To effect
this object, Kendall, Niles and llobbe, have
prepared bill, which man BY the name Of
Granville is 10 see executed.
We think We perceive the object OF these
men. Since the corruption praciIsed IN the
Post Office Department has become so glar.
Ing and monstrous, no Wing will send let.
tiers or papers by post, II he can obtain
private conveyance. This deprlves the
official villains of an opportunity Of pryiug
into letters, and sending Wing documents
to any other place than that to which they
are directed. II strikes US that II will puz
zIe the brain of Kendall, apt as It may be TO
the conception OF yillanous projects, TO frame
bill so as TO prevent people-goIng, tor
! instance, from Redmond TO Lynchburg or
Charlottesville, from carrying letters or pa.
pcrs addressed 10 their neighbors or friends.
To make the scheme effective, they must
subject every, man, %ho leaves the CITY,
whether IN public or private conveyance
or comes 10 il, or leaves his own house, t.
examination. His person, his Ituuk and
his saddle bags, must all be searched by
some Federal hireIng.
knaye, though Kendall msy be, he can
not be fool enough TO attempt 10 harrass t.
people of this country by such sy stem o
espionage. Richmond Wig.

New ORLEANS, Oct. %

Mcrico.-We are indebted 10 a COM
mcrciaI house in this city for copy of
two DEGREES recently promulgated by
Ansye, communicative chief Of the FcJc-
raj troops in Tabasco, in relation to ma
ritimc commerce. The first provides for
the exemption Of national vessels from
the tonnage duty, &Nr reduction of one
fifth Of the duties levied On goods impor-
ted By vessels coming from any port in
America, or Of two fiflhs if arriving from
any European port. Those vessels only
are considered national which have con-
formed to the law of lS33'-3l, on tho
subject of national marine.
The second decree contains eight pro-
visions. The first abolishes the duty on
anchorage, and provides a tonnage duty Of
one dollar and half on foreign vessels.
The second prohibits foreign vessels from
carrying On the coast trade, but perm Is
them to take cargoes of domestic mer-
cEandisc, on complying with the neces-
sarv felmalilies. The third permits the
free transport OF current coin in foreign
vessels, when it is destined to he employ
cd as capital in Tie market. The fourth
compels foreign vessels to furnish tripli-
cate manifesto. list Of the provisions,
crew and passengers. The fifth provides
for the levy Of three filths of the duties
required by the law Of 1887. The sixth
aLolishcs all the customhouscs in the iule-
rior, and removes the duties on goods cir
culated in the country. The seventh per-
mits the introduction Of goods prohibited
by the law Of 1927, provided a tax Of ff-
ly per cent on The value Of such goods,
be paid. The eighth cxcmpts from all
importing duties, the following articles
powder, shot and every kind of weapon
Of war, and provisions of all kinds.

unless some revolution shall occur in the politics of

the result r,ay be above stated If however South
