NEW-YORK, November 4.
COMMUNICATION.
A correspondent congratulates us on the re-election of Mr. Smith, for Congress, in the district of Charleston, S. Carolina. The fair and candid statement of his late political conduct, has had that effect upon the minds of his constituents, as reflects on them the highest credit. Indeed, none but the weak and inconsiderate could ever have been led to such unmanly and ridiculous measures as disgraced that capital in the last spring.
Mr. Smith has passed the most part of the last recess in travelling through the eastern and northern states; acquiring that general information of the state of his country, which every legislator should possess, who can spare the time, and is desirous of contributing something more in the councils of his country than mere declamation.
His arrival in Vermont was insultingly announced by a Jacobin paper there, intimating, in a pitiful turn, that his situation in his own country at that season would have been too warm for him: while, at the very time, many persons here, and our correspondent among the number, knew that Mr. Smith had every reason then to consider his re-election as a matter extremely probable. This is not the only instance, however, which has occurred, and will yet occur, wherein the pitiful opposers of the steady and manly conduct of the majority of our legislators will be disappointed.
