trust that the Legislature of Ohm VIII ,snand III

mite Importance TO either party and most assredv
not sufficiently TO hazard the consequences which

not tor the title, of small strip OF and in The
regions OF the West We all look back with pride 10 tho
pathouc conduct and exertions of Ohio during the last
war ana TO her moral and physical improye since
and we feel confident that she will not disappoint the ,s
expectations of every lover of his country by unncces
sary and pecpilate action in case in vlie ali. Lcsc

we have observed efforts in of the Opposition p,
pers TO cast blame upon the President for not Interfering
IN checking this controversy These censures are mo-,
only UNJUST, but bctray great ignorance in tos, who
make them, OF the powers and duties Of te Exccu,;vc
ne PRESIDENT has yet had right interfere except
IN the mode he adopted-tha of sending 10 the scene of
inc dcutics two citizens of high character to mon
strate with both parties and TO endcav to persuade them
1SuOH, unu 10 await The decision of Con-
gress
Equally groundcss are the complaints made BY some
OF the papers in Ohio The acts of Congress which re.
guate, under the Constitution the duties of the Pres
dent, have, for the present. established the boundary line
between the State of Ohio and tie Territory of Micbig,
he ne mus established gives to the Territory the coun.
try over which she has exercised jurisdiction and which
the State of Ohio claims The President is com,
PEELED, by his constitutional obligations, regard this as
the present boundary between the Territory and State
IL C,ngress on examination of the subject, think il
Should be confirmed to Ohio it will then be the duty of the
PRESIDENT and of all others, acqucsce in this decision
and 10 yield to the State quiet and
oil the country But till then, the President must take
and execute the laws he finds them lie has no dis
pcnsing power he capable of shrinking from Nm.
performance OF any duty, however painful it may be- or
whoever IL may affect
In regard 10 the proceedings instituted by the authori
lies OF Ailclgan and the made by them under
the Territorial law, is obvious that President is not
responsible for them has any circumstance occurred
to require his interposton. The laws of the country
nave Deeh enforced and its civil process far as is
known here, has been executed OF course therefore
inc Executive had no right to intcrpose We regret to
perceive that some of the Ohio journals induloe in o.
cited and threatening ON this subject I'm, NO
feel assured that Modification not plant which can
flourish IN Ohio And however peculiar concurrence
oil circumstances may for time have caused appreben
sons for the public peace in that quarter we are conf
dent that her intelligent and patriotic citizens will now
await the Judgment of her sister States in the national
councils
We repeat, that have formed no opinion ON the
merits OF the main controversy aud that we entertain
oher feeling towards either party than that of respcc
and kindness. But are very sure that then will be
most likely to secure the favor of Congress and of the
Union, IN the final settlement of the matter who shall
nave exhibited the greatest fobearancc and have yen
the best example of submission TO the laws And we
refer with pleasure to the views presented by Mr.
bnney, IN his speech in the House of Represents
uves on the 9TH OF February last. Mr. Bnney ably adj
Vocaed the cause of Ohio, but maintained that Conrres,
was The only authority which could ettc the question NJ
the proposed change in the boundary line
SAID MI Bnney, Sought to the extent of their mower Ia
stop these contests which beginning to disturb The
peace ana security OF that section of the Union They

exercise IT, They had it, i'll his opinion, in relation TO
Ohio and Michigan and ought to exercise it"-Giobe
ONO AND MIcHIGAY-We learn, from the mos, un
questionable authority that the question in dispue he
tween Ohio and Michigan not likely lead TO any fur
ter acts OF hostility, and that the exertons of the Com
inssioners appointed by the General Government tore
ter win the reflections of cllow-citizens on both
sides OF the disputed boundary line have resorcd feel
ing OF tranquility, which is probable will be again
interrupted. Both parties fully disposed to
await the action of Congress, and leave the adjust
ment OF the question 10 the constitutional i!ihen.l
THE BoUyDARr CoSrnoyrssY-We learn that the
of Ohio have suspended for the present
an eiods to continue the running of the boundary line
between ONO and Michigan, and returned home II an
pears probable that Governor Lucas will conyoke The
Legislature OF Ohio, TO lay the before them-The
Commissioners having been driven off the line Inv
whelmng power from Michigan Governor Lyeos mus,
have been obliged TO choose between making the boundn
ry by force OF arms submitting the the wisdom
oil the Legislature Thus far, lives have been LOST
misfortune which we have feared from ding the i~b
~ excited paragraphs in the newspapers and near the
usPuteu ground We nave little doubt but that the
terposition of the Commissioners, Mcssrs. Rush and
Howard, has been the of saving the country at
large from tins painful spectacle; find that all the
papers upon both Sides commend the active exeron f
these gentlemen to assuage the evaporation around
Them with regard to the recent proceedings of both
parties we have not yet been able TO collect the facts so
as to form an opinion of their ProP-.y When we can
gather them from any authentic source shall lay them
