THE BOUNDARY LINE--lt is probable that
Gov. Kent, of the State of Maine, will attempt
shortly after the first of next month. to run and
fix the boundary between that state ana inc b. I
lsh Possess:ons, without the Cooperation of the
u ). and the British Governments. l, will be I
a new exercise of state sovereignty, inconsistent,
with the constitution of the federation. But Gov. ]
Kent will be acting in obedience to resolutions
passed at the last session Of the legislature, which
were published some time ago in this ga ,
zctte.
He is supported by Il large party in the state
of Maine and the u. s., ready to cmbar-
rass the general government, and is besides
candidate for reelection governor OF Name
at the election which commences on the Sd Sept;
and the running and fixing the boundary has re-
Gently been made local party question, In Ia
vor of which his supporters have decidedly pro-
nounced Under all the circumstances, he will
probably find himself compelled to proceed to
ecule the resolutions of the legislature, till he is
positively Kindred by force, either the part of
the British or United States governments. AS
to the former, governor Kent will probably not
have long to wait, after his commissioners set to
work within the disputed territory. We do not
think il likely that any British authority will
suffer itself II be outsted suas ceremonic, of

! The proceedings Of the legislature of Maine,
and Governor Kent, will probably render more
difficult the settlement of the boundary question,
on which believe both the British and United
States Governments sincerely intent; but IN
the present position of the two countries. we
badly think will cnsue. 1t IS true, ncver,hc-
less that when the passions of men, connected
inf, tflpro
great dependence TO be placed on the influence of
reason.
Some of the United States papers have con-
nccted the meeting of the governors of the Brit
ish North American provinces, with the difficult
ties about the boundaries. We rather think that
the meetings in question relate entirely to the
internal concerns of the PROVINCES and projected
improv ements. The authority to recruit in
Prime E lwards Island, which has a population
of 80 900 souls, has also been supposed to have
been given in view of difficulties with the Uni
ted States.
1t IS sufficient to say that this order is dated the
9th May last, and does not seem to have been
ext ended TO any of the other provinces, which
contain population of nearly million and a
hall, and where recruits might be obtained in
nearly the same proportion as in Prince Edwards
Island. We have no doubt but that on the pros
pect of a with the United States, twenty -five
thousand men could BE- recruited in the provinces
An improved pair OF shears for cutting iron,
have been nvented.by Mr.. Pope. of Sandwich
Mass. They will cut of bar of iron six inches
in width, and three Fights of an inch in thick
ness, with as much ease as piece of sheet iron
can be cut with the shears generally in use.
a NEW CANDIDATE FOR CoNGREss.-The init
nation that Mr.. Forrest, the tragedIan, will pro-
baby become locofoco candidate for Congress
has brought out "Jim Crow as his rival.-He
thus announces himself IN the y. Y. Wing:

my seat, | shall jump for unfolding the Consti,u

P. s. It's no to send committees TO urge

my country calls; the good of the people demands
my services IN Congress, and shall have them.
