So we1 go. From ihe Connecticut Mirror. The following puiticulais respecting a transaction which appeared in tht papers a short tinie since, have been sent us as correct. A tin pedlar was lately travelling with his cart near the Canada line, whtn he was .xcobteo by one of Mr. Madison's la?id u'ti waiters, w4,6 demand ed of him what he had in his cart? 1 he j pedlar replied that he had some old pewter,--some tin ware, and some rags. I must examine formystlf snid Mr-Gallatin's representative- '1 he tin man very readily threw open his cart, and the treasury officer mounted the wheel, thrust in his head and shouldtrs, and tumbled over the pedlai'u cargo, to find whether there might not be some contraband merrhariclise hidden under the rub'm.f Finding at least one half this faithful servant ol. the Unit ed States within his cart box, the pedlar concluded might be as well to put in the other "half. Ac cordingly Jie clapped his hands gently underneath his hind quarters, and by what we New England men call & boost chucked in the residue, ptitdwn the lid, fastened the padlock, mounted the box, and ctroveiMf" at full speed to a neighboring town about six or eight miles distant, much to the com fort of. the officer of the revenue Upon com'mg to a tavern, the travelling merchant hitched his hot se to the post, went in and ordered some haj for. his-horse, and a dinner for himself, at the same time proposing to the tavern keener to take pay out .of his cart The host enquired of him what he had to sell ? ' The pttilar replied, that he and one of Mr- Gallatin's custom house ofiktrv fhe baivain was struck, and when the tin man had finished his meal and the. horse his hay, the tavern keeper proceeded ivith his guest to the cart treasury, and watcn lor smugglers.
