Lord falmerston on TIE Law o. tho Vcca'i'
The merchants of Liycrpooland other
sea port towns OF England have waited
on Lord Palmerstons to confer with him
on the proposed exemption Of private
property from capture Mt sea in time OF
war, proposition that had been favor
ably considered by the Eve Powers OF
Europe. Lord Pallnerston expressed
bis opinion that Great Britain ought
not to surrender the power Of capturing
IN enepy's property at sea. She would
have to fight seamon on board enemy
ships Of war, If she did not capture in
merchant vessels. Property on land
was not exempted from capture, TO-
every army took what it wanted when
in an enemy's country. England, with
her largo naval force, is not disposed tt
give up a right which enables her Il
keep command Of the seas. The United
States, with their smaller naval power
crnnot afford to surrender the right o.
privatcering, which enables her TO inn
provise a navy in the shortest possible
time.

The Trade of Charleston.

Spring trade. We understand that all of the
Merchants of this place and District will
purchase their supplies in Charleston this
Season
Trade has at length fully opened in
Charleston, and has made good headway.-
More than fifty country merchants came in
on Friday, by one train from Augusta
The same morning, the array of dry goods
and other goods boxes on the pavements Of
Meeting and Hayne streets was unexampled
in Charleston. 1t was a sight to gladden.
the eyes Of all, and to shut the mouths of
croakers. Merchants generally are not dis
posed TO look for so extensive and varied
stocks in !Charepton. They knew that plain
goods could be bought here, but they find
that the selection nj several of our leading
houses is fully equal to what they have
been accustomed TO seeing in New York
jobbings houses. Friday evening, and up
10 the small hours past midnight, the light
ed floors, from sidewalk to roofing, showed
how busy our heavy merchants were in
bailing the goods they sole during the day.
Ifany citizen is incredulous, let him take an
early stroll in the vicinity Of the Charleston
Hotel.

Itinerant Statesmen.

MIR. EDITOR AS n mista ken notion, in
my judgment. seems to prevail throughout
our District and in the State of North Car
olina, with regard to the true constructions
and legal effect of An Act, passed at the
last Session Of the Legislature, entitled
"An Act, to require and regulate the grant
ing of Lincense to Itinerant Statesmen, and
travelling Agents" have thought it my
duty, as one of the Representatives from
this District to the Legislature, when that
Act was passed to endeavor to disabuse
their minds, of what | conceive. to be an
erronions opinion under which they are Ia
boring, as to the operation of that Act. 1t
seems to be generally believed, that flour,
bacon, tobacco, corn, wheat, oats, rye and
barley, are prohibited under that Act, from
being brought into the State and sold, with
ont such person incurring the penalty Of
two thousand dollars, imposed by that Act,
for violation of its provisions; and upon
default of such payment he shall DC i'm:
pIisoncd for not more than six months un-
less, such person shall have previously pro.
cured License from one Of the Treasures
of the State, to cary on such trade rs Tin
Grant Statesmen. The consequence of such
n belief, has been, TO deter North Carolina
wagoners from bringing their produce into
this State, or after bringing it here, they
are deferred from selling il, for fear Of sub
jecting themselves to prosecution for so
doing, whereby our citizens are suffering n
serious Inconvenience aud injury thcrefr0m.
In my opinion, the Act does not embrace
North Carolina traders in flour, bacon,
grain, &c., neither was it intended by the
Legislature to include them in the provis.
ions of this Act. The only persons embra.
ced in this Act, and who We're intended TO
be Included therein, are a class of Northern
Dealers, who interfere with the business
and profits of our regular merchants, by
carrying on trade and making contracts for
sales, by meals Of samples, or patterns, or
otherwise.
The origin and history of the Act is this:
- Bill" identified 10 every respect, vas
simultaneously introduced into the Senate
and House of Representatives "to require
and regulate the granting of License to
Ilnerant Statesmen and Travelling Agents" !"
and the memorial of sundry citizens on the
same subject, was referred to the appropri
ate Committee in each House, who report
ed favorably thereon and recommended The
passage of the Bill referred to them. The
Bill reported TO the House of Representa-.
tives, contained a preamble, which will
more fIlIy and definitely explain the Bill,
which became "An Act" and shew the OBJ
ject and Intention of the Legislature, in
passing the same and what class of ira
ders w.s meant to be included therein and
is as follows
Whereas, it has become preyelant of late,
for Itinerant Statesmen and other persons

as published, contains no preamble, and
the Journals do not show that il was ever
stricken out Nevertheless, the preamble
above recited, shows clearly, that but one
class of tradcrs-that of dealers in Samples,
or Patterns, is embraced in the Act ; and
that traders in -four, bacon, grain, &c, from
n. Carolina are not included therein. The
Preamble TO the Act, is the key to the inter

subject of the Act, and the evil to be rem
edid. Constituting it as whole, l am clear

fore they are allowed to yend their wares
or merchandise. Since we have had an
opportunity Of reading the Act, We agree
with Mr.. Williams that it does not embrace
the dealers in Flour, Corn, &c, from other
States. The phraseology of the Act is
loose, and until case is made, it is difficult
to say how the courts will construe it
We think, however, that our North Carroll

had been doing before this Act was passed
