Great Britain desires the revision If the
frontier between her North American
dorninions and those of the United States.
not with any view to an acquisition of ter
ritory, as such, but for the purpose of
securing her possessions, and snting

The British government consider the
Lakes from Lake Ontario to Lake Superior.

frontier Of the British possessions In North
America AS the weaker power on the
North American continent the least cana
bic Of acting extensively, and the most ex-
posed to sudden invasion, Great Britain
considers the military occupation of these
lakes as necessary to the security of her
dominions. A boundary line equally diyid
ing these waters. with right to each ma
ton to arm, both upon the lakes and upon
their shores, is calculated to create a CON
test for naval ascendancy in peace as we'll

these Lakes should, as necessary result.

government is prepared to propose a boun.

The game which the Boston tories are piay.
ing can end only in their own ruin. In state
affairs two things are certain; that if YOU trifle
with people who are really suffering extraordi
nary Privations, you will be apt to raise an in
surrection: And it you endeavor to raise an in
surrection, where there is no actual and extra.
ordinary privatisns, you will fail We speak
OF privations relative to the necessaries OF life.
In Massachusetts the people have plenty to eat
and drink: and all the tragedy tones and ges.
cures OF Mr.. Quincy will not persuade them to
cegin the business of cutting one another's
throats. Quincy and Otis must go down.
They have degraded their state, and they will
fall. The republicans have Just evirced their
adherence to principle by resolution to sup
port for governor of Massachusetts the hon.
Mr.. Dexter. Therepuhlicans care not who the
man is, IL respectable and true American in
heart. Let him call hims If what nc may, *.
cept, tory, ard even that, it he acts the part
tor his country's honor and interest, hc will be
vigorously supported by the democracy. For
ourselves, we feel no alarm at Massachusetts,
clustering. Let her madmen go OH and vote |;
what will it signify We have more faith now
than ever in the strength Of the general govern
Tuent. Even in Massachusetts there are sound
spirits enough to put down rebellion headed
by such men as Josiah Quincy. His rhodo-
montades, his fngsr-wark, his eye-browing,
and his tainting in debate, are mere grimace--
there is no seriousness in them; and they are
wretched acting. II it be true. as reported,
that Quincy and Otis have hired mob to at
tend them at the legislature and to hurra for
them when speaking, what is it but the old
trick OF the French jacobins to ovsrawe good
patriotism The fate that awaits all such
causeless violence may be read in history. The
Americans are enlightened, humane, and fora
bearing. In any ether community, we're men
to Play the parts OF Otis and Quincy, they
would soon be hung by their own immediate
fellow-citizens.
