Smuggling and smuggIers.

Since the exposure in N. Hampshire of a
salaricd secret inspector "a Polkite electioneer-
cry of Customs in Concord, the N. H. Patriot
comes out and alleges that the smuggling of
brondcloths and boots and shoes, is carried on
through Concord from Canada! Concord is
about $50 miles from Canada and, though we
live within IS miles of the Line, and on the
direct route to Concord, ii is not once year
that we hear ofsmuggng or smugglers;--and
officers of the Customs in our vicinity seldom
scent smugglcr once in a twelve month, and
then it is n French horse, rather than boots
| and shoes or broadcloths, that is Struggled. -.
With the present low duties upon foreign
goods there is not any nducement to travel
ten miles to procure goods in Canada and take
them ont the same distance, with the risk of
detection; much less TO take them through
Concord--l50 miles from the Line. school
boy can see that goods brought from Europe
into Boston with the present low duties paid,
must be as cheap there as goods at the Line
brought from the same place, shipped up the
St, Lawrence and then taken l2) or 1870
miles by land to the Line. They must have
very bright men about Concord to atte mpt TO
under these circumstances. There are none
so bright in Vermont.
But the Patriots story is all sheer humbug-
gerry, and well understood TO be such by the
author; and of course n weak and miserable

Return ofSanta Anna--Remarks
of MIR Adams.

In the House of Representatives, OH Thurs
day, message was received from the Presi-
dent refusing to give information asked for by
the House, with regard TO the return of San
ia Anna to Mexico; Also in reference to the
instructions given to MIR Slidell. Mr. Tru-
man Smith moved that it he referred to the
Committee OIL Foreign Affairs and printed,
when Mr. J. q. Adams spoke briefly as fol-
lowS:-
Mr. Spcaker,-Thc state of my voice is
slch that it is not in my power 10 make to
this House The observations which | should
otherwise have felt it my duty TO make upon
this case. ] will state, sir, that the reason
why | have felt it my duty to take this course
il, that consider it novel thingand thing
affecting the rights of this House, and of the
60 nsti'uEcy ofthis IIouse--the people Of
the United States. 1t denies, sir, us under
stand it, the power. the constitutional power
of this House to call for that Information
1 believe it is the first time in the history of
this Union that it has been denied. In the
case to which the President refers, when
call was made upon President Washington,
there was (Which the message omits TO sate)
an exception for cases which he might think
not proper to be inquired into at the time.
Now sir, the President has not added what
was the action OF the House upon llat; anu
the action of the House was in direct oppo-
sition to the resistance of President Washing
ion to their call. The House formally de-
eciared-and l wish the journal might be
looked to to see---the House formally declar-
ed against President Washington their right
20 call for such information. That was their
action ; and, MS far as know-although the
very memory of Washington, by every body
in this country, Mt this time, land by none
more than mysolf9 is reveRenced next to wor-
.ship-the President was wrong in that par
ticnlar instance, and went too far to deny the
power of the House; and as to his reasons ]
never thought they were sufficient in that
case. And have always been of the opin-
ion of the Democratic party, to which | do not
profess to belong,[a laugh S'they have unnni-
snously disapproved of that act of President
Washington, ms interfering with the rights of
this House,and of their constituents, the peo-
N,le of the United States. ..

this subject; but consider it of such impor-
lance that am certainly ndisposcd to lay

Mn CALnoUN's SPEECH. We acknowledge
the receipt of pamphlet copy of this Speech,
upon the war, an abstract of n portion of which
we have published. Much that is good is
found in il, but it contains the great idea of the
slavery propagnndist-it looks to the accession
ofsome Mexican territory, while it repudintes
and condemns taking it by conquest. Mr. C..
is alarmed at the spirit of conquest, not only
from the fact that he entertains yet some re-
publican sentiments, but. from the considera
ton that the South is going too fast in her
schemes ofenlargng "the area of Slavery"
the North, as consequence is waking up,
and he sees that the main queston-Slavery
is becoming too prominent-for Southern
success. Such, we conceive, to be one of the
motives which actuates the South Carolina
politicians in the course they take upon the
war question. They cleavc to the idea Of ter
ritory, for the reason for which they sought
Texas, but are alarmed at the wholesale bus
mess manner it is pursued by the President and
his allies
