The "National Inteigencer' of this morning shows
itself to be still hampered and embarrassed by Gen.
eral SCOTS proclamation. 1t does not very well know
in what manner to dispose OF document which
is stamped with the character of patriotism, and which
presents many points in judiciously select
ed and promptly enforced. AS have heretofore
ted, we admire the paper, with few exceptions.
The "lntelligencer admits it written by General
Scott-thnks it possible that may have been written
without any immediate direction from Washington; and
it had gone further and adopted words, withou
any suggestion of theirs and without their knowledge"
ii would then have stated the whole fact But the "In
telligencer" is curious to learn how we know what
were General SCOTS instructions" in this case since
the "Union" stated the other day, that whether Gen
Scott does or does not possess diplomatic powers &c.
known only to the President and cabinet and con-
fdenal clerk" Does not the 'lnteligencer see that
the propositions essentially distinct THAT the "Unon
might know thing, and not another'-and that we
might have been told about the authorship of this proc
lamaon And we were so informed, upon asking the
proper authority.
But the "lnellgencer attempts to escape from its
difficulty, by placing the administration in dilemma
ITSELF for says, he fact that the administration does
not dSauop the proclamation any part of when
raising controversy about its authorshpas it were
of any consequence by whose pen committed 10

logic this Because the President or the Secretary does
not go before the country and by proclamation of their
own, under their sign manual admit disavow the act
why, must be taken for granted that il TO all ntents
and purposes their act and deed Their silence amounts
to confession! Gen. Scott will understand in few DAYS
what they think of it and we venture to say that we
but repeat in our crude words the spirit OF their re-
marks But the next Congress is to be the searching
sitting, prying wing Congress and we have no doubt a
call from them will bring out the whole matter if the

FLOUR INSPECTION. new constitution
framed by the peoples delegates to the conven-
ton at Albany, went into effect on the first of
January, and is now the organic law OF the State
OF New York. 1t will be some time before we
will get reconciled to the new order of things;
but after while, matterslwil 60 on as smoothly
as they did under the old regime.
Every description of inspection, as well as the
appointment of State inspectors, having been
abolished, the principal -four merchants have
agreed among themselves to have their stock in
spected as usual, and the principal flour inspec-
tors under the old law, have likewise agreed to
continue their business, and perform their servi-
ces whenever called upon. The flour merchants
have taken this course for the purpose OF main
tanning their own reputation and character in
foreign countries and that confidence in them, on
the part of purchasers, which they have SO long
enjoyed. Instead of relying on the accuracy
and integrity of the State inspection, purchasers
will for the future, look to the character of the
houses they deal with, and we doubt not that it
will be attended with good results.
1t is absurd for the Legislature of State to step
in between the purchaser and the seller of com.
modify, and insist upon inspecting it before sale
The reputation of the seller will be better safe
guard against imposition than State inspection
could possibly be.
