The NORTHEASTERN BoUNDARv.-The
present state of the question between this
country and Great Britain, in relation to
the line of boundary between Maine and
New Brunswick, is such as may be ex-
pected to lead to serious conflicts between
the inhabitants bordering on the disputed
line. The Portland Advertiser mentions
a report that n quarrel had already aris-
EN-, in which seven citizens Of the United
States and four British soldiers we're kill
ed. This is probably an exaggeration of
whatever may have occurred. 1t has al
ready been stated that two commission
ers from Maine lately visited the disput-
ed territory, by appointment of the Gov
ernor, under the authority ola resolve of
the Legislature, and that British officer
appeared, with express instructions from
the provincial government, to protest a
gainst their proceeding to act under their
commission, which protes,they Disregard
ed. Whether these proceedings are pro-
per, in the present state Ofthe negotiation
between the two governments, and com
sistent with the spirit of the convention
between them, is question which we
will not now consider, but it cannot be
doubted that there is danger oftheirlead-
ing to unpleasant and mischievous alter
cations. A New Brunswick paper, the
Colonist, contains the following para
graph. 1t probably alludes only to the
visit ofthe Maine commissioners. Wheth-
er they were authorized to make any ap-
pointment of oflicersi residing within the
disputed territory, or whether the Exec
utive of Maine, by their recommendation
has appointed any, we are not informed.

MADAwAsKA.-This land of IRE, (ru-
NOR says) is again in turmoil. Report
says that our Yankee neighbors have ta-
ken the liberty ofappointing Officers, &c.
&c. on the British side, and that his Ex-
celleucy has taken prompt measures to
point out their mistake. Let them be a.
ware lest his Excelency should make

Bayonet. His Excelency is an Old hand

which you put into my hands at parting this
evening. for Mr.. Bcrrien, can only recapitu-
late. in few words. what, for your private eat
isfaction as a gentleman and man of honor,
have already communicated 10 you verbally.
According TO Mr.. Berrion's appointment
with YOU on Thursday, he sent by member
of his family, WHOLLY unapprised at the time,
of the nature and tendency Of the correspon-
dence ! a sealed letter 10 yourself, enclosing
written answer to the note delivered by you
from Major Eaton. The bearer Of this an
swer attended several times, both OH Friday
and Saturday, at the place Of appointment,
but without meeting you, in consequence, as
now understand, of your confinement at
home from indisposi,ion. On Saturday, he
was met at the place of appointment by anoth.
er friend Of Major Eaton, with authority to
receive the communication in your place !;
which, after being opened and read, was
forthwith returned TO Mr.. Berrien, with a
verbal lntmation that Major Eaton would not
receive it.
This seems to close the door to all cores
pondence between The parties, and of course
to any communication in reference TO the
original demand upon Mr.. Berrien, between
third persons, acting in their behalf In Mr..
Berrien's proffered answer to Maj. Eaton, he
has taken his ground, and upon that, under
existing circumstances he must stand as firm
and immoveable as he would upon any other
that he might have elected. After the in.
dignity of having the answer, which he had
devised, thrown back upon his hands as un-
worthy of reply, without the slightest expla-
nation how or why it was deemed inadmissi-
Bile IN Rmine. he cannot submit to the task af
graduating new answers by an imaginary
scale, ill he may chance to have descended
to some supposed degree Of admissible an
swer. was myself wholly unapprzcd of
this unhappy affair, till it was communicated
to me this morning when ] engaged, in case
you should take any further agency in the
matter, to explain TO you individually as a
gentleman, what guarded respectto the orig-
nal medium Of communication between the
parties. Mr.. B. had observed in all that had
been transacted during your absence. and
how completely oil direct and authorized in
tervention had been cut off, and the affair re-
mit,ed to the discretion of mere parties.
Such was the beginning, and such was the
end of my present commission.

DEAR GENERAL-From your note of this
morning. it appears that the matter, so far as
you are concerned, as the friend of Mr.. Ber

[ From the Plaiisb,ugh AURORA, Oct. 81

DARING OuTRAGE.-On Saturday eve-
ming last, all outrage was committed i'm
this village, which is almost without a
parallel. The facts as we have been a.
BILE to collect from the various reports in
circulation, are briefly these About 8
O'Clock on the evening above mentioned,
two ladies', sisters, the one married la
dy, the other unmarried, were returning
home unattended, when they were met
or overtaken by person having the ap-
pearance of gentleman, as far as they
could discover in the gloom of the eye-
ming, who attacked the young lady with
great violence, and inflicted dangerous
wound with an instrument supposed to be
dirk. The object of the villain was no
doubt murder, and he probably thought
he had cnected it. The circumstance
has produced a good deal of excitement
IN our village; the more SD, as no cause
can DC assigned by the young lady, for an
attack Of the kind from any source.
A public meeting of the citizens of
Plaftsburgh, in relation to the above out
rage was held on the 4th inst. A CON-
mittee of vigilance consisting of seven
persons was appointed, and reward or
$500 offered for the detection

ropes. A remarkable thing in this case
was that after these experiments he had
no distinct recollection of his dreams, bot
only a confused feeling of oppression or
fatigue; and used to tell his friends that
he was sure they had been playing some
trick uDOu him" ff

Letter of Gov. Gilmer.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE, Odd Sept. 1881.
Gentlemen-l understand that a num-
Der of persons have been lately conyicted
in Gwinnet county, for illegal residence
in the territory occupied by the Chero-
KEGS within the State, and will very soon
be placed within the Penitentiary, unless
they should be considered proper subjects
for the exercise of the Executive clemen-
cy. As it is possible that some of these
persons may have committed the offence
of which they have been convicted, under
mistaken opinions of their own duty, or
of the powers of the Government, l am
desirous of pardoning such of them as
may have thus acted, and will now give
assurances, that they will not again vio-
late the laws of the State; if they should
be found worthy of such clemency.
You are requested to- see each of the
prisoners, and converse with them alone,
and ascertain from them whether they
are disposed to promise not again to Of
fend the laws if they should be pardoned.
You are also requested to ascertain as
accurately as you can, what has been the
general character of each of the convicts,
and the motives which have influenced
them in their opposition to the authority
of the State.
The result of your enquiries and con-
vsrsation, you will oblige me by commu-
nicating as early as convenient.
Very respectfully, Yours &c.
GEORGE Il. GILMER.

tentiary.

BENZ. A. WHITE,
JAMES CAMAK, INSPECTORS
FORT,

At the opening of the Court in Gwin-
nett, Judge Clayton charged the Grand
Jury to enquire into the late alledged OPP
pressions of the guard upon the Mission
aries. He stated that they were civil Of
ficers, as much as any other, appointed
for the special purpose of carrying par
ticular law into effect, and IT they trans
cended their authority, or used amy un-
necessary rigor to prisoners, like all 9TH
er ministerial officers, they were amen
able 4, lie law. If they had treated the
Missionories as had been stated, without
lust gy6pnds for so doing, they ought to
auswe =. {of 4, IT was alike due TO them
selys6und ti1e character Of he State. as
well ns to the rights of the Missionaries,
TO have the matter investigated: such
conduct was not allowed by the laws of
Georgia, and its public fanctionaries
should promptly vindicate those laws by
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1831-10-18

the law and the testimony" and endea-
voring to follow the examples of holy
writ, my conduct is construed into an
unjustifiable interference with political
affairs, cannot help it."
While thus constituting themselves
judges of the law and the testimony in
the face oftheinstructions ofthat Gospel,
winch they pretended to preach, and
which requires them to obey the powers
that be--to "be subject to principalities
and powers, to obey magisirates'-and
"to render unto Cesar the things that be
C@sar's," it cannot be supposed that the
constitutional authority of Georgia would
be suffered to acquiesce in their decisions,
or to respect a plea set up by them under
the pretence Of doing the work of God.
AS to the bar presented by their con-
sciences to their taking the oath acknowI-
edging the jurisdiction Of Georgia, the
alternative adopted by them should have
been to remove promptly and peaceably,
and not 10 have endeavored, by the dis
play of a factious and unchristan spirit,
to provoke collision with the government.
. Notwithstanding the sentence of the
Court, Gov. Gilmer, actuated by spirit
of kindness, which their conduct did not
merit, addressed the subjoined letter to
the Inspectors of the Penitentiary.
James Trott, the methodist missionary,
availed himself of this offer of clemency,
but the other two, Worcester and Butler,
still adhere to their former determination,
and accordingly remain in prison. 1t is
intimated thaLthese men act from higher
authority, and that an attempt will be
made to relieve them by an appeal to the
Supreme Court to decide upon the uncon-
stitutionality Of the laws of Georgia. 1t
is worthy the spirit of the present oppo-
sition.
