subject Of discussion among the political
partisans the presidential candidates. A
great deal oi'Ignomnce, scurrlllty and non
sc nse has been thrown around this ques-
ton. The subject in our apprehension is
not yet ripe for definite opinions. The re-
sult OF the various movements of the Eng
llsh cabinet and the United States govern.
ment will require some time ere they can
show themselves distinctly. Without there.
fore entering into the controversy how far
the House OF Rcpre-e atatiyes, the Senate,
or the Cabinet. may have been the prnci-
pal means of producing the present state of
that business, there is one point which ev-
cry republican every American will make
up his mind on even cursory perusal of
the diplomatic correspondence between
this country and England. The same prip-
ciptes and he same feelings ichich produced
the last tCdr beticeen this country and Great
Britain are al The bottom Of The policy ofHs
London cabinet and The diplomacy Of Mr..
Canning.
Whatever color that skllul minister may
give 10 the last few years negotiation. n Is
certain that HIS great object has been To
cripple the navigation of the United States
by every method IN his power. The bril-
liant deeds achieved by our gallant navy
during the last war haunt the minds OF the
English minister, IL would be one of the
most powerful evidences that the spirit Oh
that traitorous assembluge, called the Hart
ford Convention, had again revived, and
mad become prevalent IN our national coun-
GUS. What did the supporters ot that con-
yenton do: They advocated the policy OF
England-they defended tho conduct Of
England-they lauded the forbearance of
our great rival OH tho ocean.
In several of the newspapers of late wo
have seen symptoms of the like spirit the
like feeling of admiration for England and
hostility to their own country. We have
seen the insulting conduct of the British
govern nent Landed TO the skies, and the
views of mr.. Canning apooglzed for and
defended the American poltlclans.-Thls
is Hartford Conventionism to the back
bone.--N. Y. Adv.
The Boston Journal states that " Sir John
=. Coply, who has now advanced by has
own industry and ability from the court OF
Piepowder 10 the Woosack, and the Peer
age, was born at Boston. His father was
the celebrated painter, whose works are to
be seen in many public and private places
IN THAT city and vicinity. The son is said 10
have fixed his eye upon the first law Office
IN the kingdom at an early period, and to
have constantly bent his efforts to its at
tainment. A person who knew him in
England, when he first commenced the
practice, informed us some years ago, that
no solicitations of friends, no alluremcnts
of pleasure, could induce him to leave his
Office until after the hour Of ten, except on
Sunday evenings and on that evening on
ly could his family and friends have the
qualification OF his company. The success
OF such men as COPY illustrates the de-
mocratic properties Of the British Constitu-
ton"
Curious Circumstance. A few weeks
since lady in Maryland had her infnnt's
caps washed, and hung in the garden to
dry, and for security, they were tied TO-
gether by the strings at noon when the
servant maid was sent to bring them in,
one was missing, and il was evident that
the strings had been united The garden
was searched but no cap was found late
in the afternoon the husband Of the lady, as
he was saunterIng in the garden, espicd a
birds nest which he knew to be that ofu
Baltimore, and saw attached thereto some
thing very white. The nest was taken
down, when behold the cap the strings OF
which were with great ingenuity interwov.

A mineral spring has been struck at AL

boring about 500 feet. II has become ve-

Four grand larcenios were committed on
