ANOTHER NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
VTDUAL LIABILITY"

An exchange paper says; dhe good Lo-
cotoco county Of Fairfield has produced q
sub-treasurer who may fairly claim'caste
with tie Boyds and Harrs's and the host
Of worthies who were distinguished by
theconfdence Of MartinWun Buren. The
astonishing disclosure has been madewith-
in a short time, that the 'treasurerOf that

Nine and Yen Th0ltsaH3 Dol'ar& How
he managed TO make way, 'ilrevocabIy
with this sum, without discovery, we are
not advised. But certain it sesms to be,
that his securities have got to suffer, and
doubts are entertained whether they will
be able very speedily to makeup such a
sum. The Commissioners of the county
have removed the detauting Treasurer,
and appointed a responsible man in his
place. TIE Gazette thus notices the de-
ialcotion
It,is several weeks since it was rumored
that Mr.. Spurgeon, the county Treasurer,
was likely to fall in arrears, on strict SET
clement with the Commissioners. Neigh
bofhood scandal is so common, and there
is such propensity in mankind to COM
municGte groundless caumnies, that we
paid but little attention to the-etory about
the Treasufcr's defaIcatlon at'frst, though
the affair has now assumed a more serious
character. The Commissioners, it is said
nave investigated his accounts, and sorry
we are to say, that the amount Of dtfaIca-
ton is greaterthan that fixed ON 10y rumor,
as that lady set it down Al two or three
thousand dollars whereas the commits
fIoners find it to be NIHc Thousand Three

From The Boslon Dmlu adperliser.

THE LATE TREASURY CIRCULAR.
/! became necessary for the officers Of
the revenue to decide, in reference to
merchandise imported from Texas, or
cleared for export thither, with the privi-
lcge Of drawback, whether the ports Of
that territory are to be regarded as foreign
ports Or ports of the United States. Mr..
Secretary Walker has decided, in his cir
cuar, that "although there is now soi-
eHn compact, Gbiigdtory upon bo'h parties,
for the admission of Texas as Il State Of
the Union," duties must yet be collected as
heretofore upon Ml imports from Texas in
to the United States.
The Secretary declares the resolutions
passed by the Congress aol the United
States, and ossented to by the TeNOs Con-
EventIon, TO be q solemn compact. II is a
little difficult to imagine by what construe-
ton OF the Constitution our Government
has undertaken to make soemnrcompact
with another Government without the
sanction Of two-hirls OF the Senate. The
resolutions may have been designed to
have the effect ofo compact, and for the
purpose of divesting thcmas far as posi-
bic oi the form,and character of a-trealy,
it may have been thought necessary tc
omit all words distinctly implying an agree
ment for the transfer of the territory o
Texasto the United States, or for its ad
mission into The Union, they are,mere re
