The following items are gathered by Tie Re-
from late Santa Fe papers:
The rejection of the nominatioa Of Hugh N.
Smith, to be Secretary Of the Territory Of Nsx
Mexico, seems 10 hare created quite . serSati4a
among the people Of Santa Fe. Several cahna-
nicaiiols. strongly, cOndemnaiory 81 thisa c4. sp-
pear in the papers. and on The Sd Of Ma thtss
was q large and respectable meeting held he
Court House, for The purpose Of eiicitfng pub
lie sentiment on the subject. ]. L. Collins pre-
sided and VIM. McGroory acted As Gecsetsry.
The President, on taking the chair, explained the
object of the meeting. He regarded the yejsc-
ton of Mr.. Smith as an outrage upon the peo-
ple of New Mexico. The feelings and inierests
Of the Territory were not consulted, and iustics
to MT. Smith demanded an expression Of public
sentiment.
A committee was then appointed tassPort res.
oluiions. This was done. The resolutions de-
clare, that Hugh N. Smith claims and enjoys The
confidence Of the people-of New Mexico, asa
patriot, Statesman and q gentleman; hat his re-
jsolion by TIA Senate. { ths Unite States, -fs
ths Office Of Secretary ofthS TeiHlbsf !. has Allied
them with modification, andthey regard il q an
outrage, both upon the feelings and interests Of
the whole Territory; That ifthey ssnnot hsvs his
as Secretary, they Ieear6thkn as Of too
much value 10 be lost TO the Territory, and call
upon the people to rebuke the spirf Of section
alism and secret juggling by which he was sac
that they, therefore, nominate him TO rep
resent them in The Senate Of the Territory, from
the counties Of santa Fe and San Miguel; that
win also appoint . committee 70 search out
|the secret influences If any such there b, by
which this rejection was brought shout. and that
recommend meetiags tkfeughout the Terri
tory, to. express their disapprobafion Of this act
|of the Senate. These resolution9 were unanim-
|ously adopted. Ar.Smith acquissesd in the NOM
|~ination, and although there were . nuaber Of
popular candidates, he was elected.
Gov. Calhoun and Col. Monroe. paid . sisitss
Anton Chico, where they expecssd to NEE. the
|Apacbes, who. were under promise to ether
the 18th NAY, TO receive supplies ordered fg
relief. Lieut. Chapman and his Dragons
were there, but the Indians had not arrived, nor
could any clue be hadto their whereabouts.
The election for members Of the FIRST Terrific
- IL Nn NJ
was holly contested. The respective parties ID
election at Santa Fs are equally violent in
charges Of fraud and corruption, and the
Gazette thinks. that the stories Of both parties
are correct, and thst sahere have bsen gross m
positions, disgraceful frauds and baTe-kced pr
~juries" committed. 80
The New York Herald thinks the most
even contest fos the Presidency would'b
