NoRTH EASTERN BOUNDARY. Governor Kent Of
Maine, has appointed three Commissioners to sur
vey and mark the boundary line between that State
and the British Provinces Ii is stated that they
will proceed upon the business ofther appointment
immediately. The Quebec Gazette, in allusion to
this evoked question" significantly remarks that
" The militia of New Brunswick as good and
we'll disposed for defence as the militia OF Maine;'
and " that on the prospect of between Great
Britain and the United States, twenty five thousand
troops could be enlisted in the Provinces" This
however, is mere froth, characteristic of the spirit
Of our Canadian noghbors, and for the present there
will be serious collision between the authorities
of the two nations The Boston. Atlas saws this
movement of Gov. Kent is peaceful, and app ehepds

from Liverpool, in relation to this subject

THE STATE ELECTION ~ ....
VERMONT TRUE TO THE WIG PRINCE
... .t.. PIES OF SEVENTY SIX

Returns from various sections of the State show
Vermont still true to the Democratic Wing faith -
true TO those principles of freedom which led her
sons, with the gallant Stark at their head to the
field OF Bennington against German soldery and
the Tories OF that day. The returns from other
parts Of the State and those in this quarter, war
rant the belief that the following is the result of
last Tuesdays electon:-the election 10 Congress
Of Horace EVERETT, WILLIAM SLApE, HILAND
HALL, Wings, and Isaac FLETCHER, " B., and in
the 4th District there appears to be no election
Heman Allen, the Wing candidate, by his vote
upon the Neutrality Bill, rendered himself obnox-
ious to many Wings in his District, who either
gave their votes for Smith, the V b. candidate or
for some other men, mostly for MI Briggs. The
returns not all received, but it is estimated that
Smith will fail Of his election by about 80 votes

the State. The Wings have carried Orange Co.

IN Franklin, which the only changes in The
Senate far heard from. We may possibly

stand % wings to opposition. Iu the election of
members of the Legislature tie wing gain is very
great. Last year majority was about 25, and
thiS year, from present appearances, 1t will be so
more. or so Representative heard from in
Windsor Rutland and Windham Counties, there
are only Van Buren,. .s
On the whole, Vermont has done nobIy for the
genuine democracy of the CountIy-that OF the
People She has again been found faithful to her
early upon the affairs of Pairioiisnl-t0 sound
princ pes-to the Constitution, and 10 Equal
Rights. The banner of victory and peace--the
same !" principle that she unfurled at Bennington
waves still in triumph upon her Green Mountains.
The only material advantage, if any, so far as we
have returns, the Vanites claim, is the nom
election in the 9th District But this is no certain
trict-but rather The popularity of the Canadian
Patriot cause, and the appropriately of Mr. Aliens
vote IN relation to it. The sagacious wings appre-
hended this result and regretted, for this reason
that another man was not nominated. Ifthere is
no choice now, popular wing can carry the Dis
trct at the I'd trial
Let the wings Of the Country give three cheers

Annexed are the returns from the 9Th District

that Mr Fletcher is reelected by n decreased
