FOREIGN PAUpERs.-The following res

FoRErGN PAUpERs.-The following res.
olu,on was adopted in the Senate, on the
last day of the session
"ResoiUed, That the Secretary of the
Treasury be directed to cause to be colec.
ted and laid before the Senate at it's next
session, all such facts and informo ion as
can be obtained through the Custom house
or from other sources, respecting the de-
portatlon of paupers from Great Britain
and other places, ascertaining as nearly as
possible to what countries such persons are
sent, where landed aud what provision, if
any, is made for their support.
The Baltimore Patriot thus Justly re,
marks upon this subject:
"This resolution was introduced by Mr..
DAVIS. of Massachusetts, and the thanks
of the country will be rendered to him, if
it shall lead to legislative measures cacu.
lated TO arrest the tide of that worse than
useless population which has for so many
years been setting towards our shores. The
native pauperism of the United States con
slItu'es an altogether insignificant item in
the expenses OF our municipal corporations
and State Governments. Two thirds al
least OF tn" tenants OF the aim Ihnuses in all
paris OF the countIy-in the interior as well
as on the sea5oard,-are foreignnrs-and
our jails and penIentiarles are filed with
the same description of persons. II Is time
that the Government should take decided
steps TO arrest this serious evil II is tune
that Just discrimination should be- in,r o-
duced between the worthy emiSranis who
come among us to better their condition by
improving our soil or adding to the mechan.
ical force and ingenuity Of The country. and
the offscourlng of The parish warehouses;
of Europe, who are sent here because the
maintenenahce Of them in idIeness and
crime has become burden too serious to
be borne. We have no doubt that the in
qniry desired by Mr.. Davis, if industrlousy
and properly made, will result in the col
lection of statistics which will startle the
country. 1t will alarm all who would dread
that the physical strength, as well as the
po'tlcal Institutions of the country should
be in the hands of the paupers of Europe.

NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.

We are obliged to the Hon. Mr.. Davis
Of the Senate, for copy of the correspon
Deuce between our G,vernment aud that OF
Great Bfitaln IN regard to the Northern
Boundary. J. CONSISTS Of letters between
Messrs. Livingston McLane and FORSYTH.
on the part OF our Government. and Sir
Charles r. Vaughan and Mr. Charles Bank,
head on The part of Great Britain. cons
'n"ncng as far back as July, 1889. The
amount of the whole boundary question is,
that the subjec, is as far from being settled
as ever.
To understand the correspondence il is
pr pcr TO remind orr readers, TINT, at the
close Of the late administration, after long
endeavorS to ascertain the true boundary
line, as fixed by the Treaty of 1898. the
two Governments agreed TO refer the de.
cson to the king OF Holland, as arbitrator.
That monarch was requested to designate
IN" true Inc. Now. as the negoclators had
never been able TO ascertain the bounda nv;
the king soon came TO the conclusion that
he should not be more successful; in short
rather than puzzle himself to find the old
line, he determined to draw new one, and
thus. like most arbrltra' ors he split the diff
ference; but az he had not been requested
10 make new line, but to ascertain the old
one. IN regard to which there was lack of
testimony. his decision was reluctantly &C
copied by England, but it was totally re
jecle ed by the United States. This rejection
was communicated to Mr. Barkhead, the
British Charge, by Mr. Secretary Living
slon. and in the same mole It was proposed
to open new negotiation. As reason
tor the rejection by our Government, it was
said that the new line trenched on the ter
rltory Of Maine, and that The Government
of that State would conlrovert it as uncon
sttutional. In regard TO the latter difficult
'y, Mr.. Livingston says
" Means will probably be found of avoid.
ing all constitutional difficulties that have
hitherto attended the establishment of
boundary more convenient TO both parties,
than that designated by the treaty, or than
that recommended by his majesty the king
of the Netherlands; :" and he adds, 'sthat an
arrangement is now in progress, with every
probability of speedy conclusion, between
the u. Safes and the State of Maine, by
which the Government of the U. States
will be clothed with more ample powers
than II has heretofore possessed, TO cffec,
tha, end"
Although the rejection created some
surprise and disappointment TO the British
Government, Mr. Vaughan, the British en-
voy, IN April following announced to Mr..
Livingston that his Government was dis
posed to renew the negotiation. provided it
could be done in good faith and with any
hope of coming to a conclusion. At the
same time, he stated his Government would
not recognize The right of The citizens of
Maine, nor of any other citizens of the
United States, TO navigate the St. John
River.
In reply, Mr. Livingston valves. for the
present, claims TO the navigation of the ST.
John. lie proposes that the whole sublec,
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1836-07-22

be referred to an equal number OF Commls
sioners, "with an umpire selected by some
friendly sovereign, from among the most
skilful men in Europe, to decide on all
points on which they disagree; or bya
commission, entirely composed Of such
men, go selected to be attended in the sur
vey and view Of the country by agents ap'
pointed by the parties"
Mr. Vaughan, replying to this. May IT.,
1888, doub's the expcdiency of this mode,
but says he has sent the proposal to his
Government he also suggests to Mr.. L..
the expediency of proposing some other
mode, which would be more likely to be
acceptable to the British Government.
The British Envoy next in,ima'es the
opinion, that the time has arrived for aban-
doning the imaginary boundary, which has
been so imperfec,ly described, and Of run
ming a new conventional line, which will be
more convenient 10 both parties than the
one hitherto insisted on under the Treaty.
To this, the American Secretary replies,
that the President feels restricted, by the
past action Of the Senate, TO negotiate for
any new boundary line, the effect Of which
would be to cut off any portion of the ter.
rltory of Maine, without first obtaining the
acqnescence of the Legislature of that
State TO such proposed arrangement.
The rest of the voluminous ocsments
are principally occupied in discussing va
rious supposiions touching the location and
nature Of the "h'ghands' spoken of in'the
Treaty OF 1898 and whether the rivers
which empty into the Bay OF Chaleur and
the Bay of Fundy can be considered as
"falling into the Atlantic" The American
Government contends that rivers empiyng
into those Bays, fall into the Atlantic thro'
the Bays. The amount Of it all goes to
show that the whole negotiation is again
open TO settlement, and that the question
remains as it did in 1929.
After all it appears to US, that if both
Governments would appoint a commission
: Of Civil Engineers to go and survey the
country, and run the boundary line accord,
! ing to equitable principles, and az near to
the contemplated original line as p-actica
BILE, having respect to the common use, by
both nations, Of such navlgable rivers a.
fall near the boundary. it would be salisiac
tory to both nations. AS Name denies the
right of our Government, without hcr con-
sent. to negotiate away any portion Of tbs
territory Of Maine, perhaps The most sperd,
mode OF settlement would be, for both ma
tons to authorize the Government, of Maine
and that of New Brunswick to arrange the
question of boundary between themselves
They could then, perhaps. settle the ques
ton TO their own mutual satisfaction
whatever would be satisfactory to Maine
would doubtless be agreeable to the people
of the United States, and whatever woul,
be agreeable to New Brunwick. ought t
be satisfactory to tn" B tish Government
The matter has been in dispute more thar
forty years; the parties have not made an,
approximation to settlement, and unles,
some different course be pursued, the con
iroversy bids fair to be ntermlnable. Bos
