Its chief point Of interest TO our readers 10 that por.
lion which relates to the controversy between Ma
ryland and Virginia relative TO the boundary line
between The Two Suites and his remarks on this
subject are very courteous and respectful, con-
tras,ing mos, favornbly with the unnecessarily
harsh and impcrious tone Of Gov. Tazeweil on the
same subjcc, at The opening OF the Virginia Legis.
| lature.
| Gov. Thomas has been reelected Governor OF
Maryland bya large majority.
~ Robert II. GolJsborough, Esq. has been

lsture Of Maryland, to fill the vacancy occssioned
by tho resisna,ion ofGen. Ezekiel +. Chambers.
| Mr.. Godsborough 10 decided Wing, rs was his
predecessor.
II The Legislature OF North Carolina has a.
that State, as to the expcdencv of Convention
for revising and amending iis Constitution.
n Ata Wing Convention, recently held in the
State Of Mississippi, resolution was adopted, re.
commenting that Conventional that party to con.
s,sl of delegates from oil paris Of the Union, be held

The Globe nop ping = The Government Ohhcinl
has on more than one occasion. asserted that Mr.
Van Buren, took his sent, as presiding officer OF
the Senate, On the first day ofthe present session OF
Congress- because Mr.. Pon1extcr, having been C.
ccIed President Of the Sona,e pro tenn, his occupnn.
cv of that seat would have DC rudeI uat high Of
fee. We presume that this publication induced
Mr.. Poindextcr to call on Mr.. Van Buren, for an
explanation. But whether this be 50 or not II
will be seen from the suooned paragraph. which
| we find in the National In,eIilgeocer Of the Sh
| INST that the stamp Of falschood IS placed upon
the statement Of the Globe, by tho authority OF Mr.
Van Buren, himself, as !, was, on a previous occa.
sion, by Mr.. McLane, while that gentleman was
Secretary Of State:
We are authorized to state and ii gives Us
pleasure TO do SO that the motive ascribod by tho
Government Press here and elsewhere, to the Vice
President, in taking his seat on the first day OF
the session as the Presiding Officer OF the DC
nate, so far as they relate 10 the President pro
cmpoye Of the Senate, chosen Of the last session Of
Congress- have been explicitly disavswcd by that
gentleman"
We marvel that tho Jackson party do not call for
moro discreet Editor for tho Government Official
The contradictions and explanations elected by his
frequent unfounded statements have long s'Rce DIS
credited his paper with tho candid Of all parties, as
his bIllngsgnte abuse has disguscd all men Of de-
cency.
~ Duff Green, tho editor of,he U. 8. Telc.
graph, was challenged few days ago ny }. u.
Bryce, formerly Of Winchester, Va. md now OF
Washington city, but refused TO accept The c'r-
cnmstance. arc briefly these Bryce tho cores
pondcnt Of the Winchester Virgininn. IN nc.
cordsnce with his vocation, lately addressed 10
that paper = letter, ntmnt,ng in pretty broad terms
that Gov Tazewell and some other distinguished
Virginisn had borrowed quite largely Of Nick
B,ddle and the monster. and insinu"'ins that they
had been converted bv these loans into friends OF
the Bank The falsohood Of these imPutatlons
was detected and exrosed, bu, the author OF them
WINS unknown until Green fcrrtted him out
" Who is this correspondent Of the tW'nchesser)
Vug,nian 7" asked the Telegraph " Is he NOT
one who having been nominated 10 the . nate 10!
an honorable appointment, was roJee'ed' mn
wa, then omed upon one of the Departments
as a clerk and, as a recompensc for the 'g-
nominy Of his rejection, while he was "sen-
sibly performing the duties OF clerk, was
permitted to lounge about the courts and ma
gytrae's Offices &c. ! Mr.. Bryce, feeling that
the cap hud been measured by his head, de-
msndcd TO know whether he was alluded to IN
this sketch To which Green replied thot he
" had no right to make tho demand. unless he
would deny tina, he was the coTresp ndent oil tho
Winchester V,rg,nlan. refused to DO 'his,
and challenged Green, who refused 10 accept, on
the grounds, Isl, that his article was legitimate
commen, upon an Infamous cnlumny on t"o disn
gu,shed c,l,zens Of Virginia which, as the editor 81
a public ress, il became his duty TO make . 2dly
tho, Bryce had no right to apply the remarks IN
the Telegraph to himself unless he was truly de-
scribed therein and 3ily, ifhe was thus truly de-
scribed, his RICH, to demand personal satisfaction
was denied. And thus tho mattct rested at our
