upon the Boundary question are closely
watched. Our resolves, the message oil
our Governor, the correspondence on this
subject are all published at great length in
the metropolitan papers Indeed the Brit
ish people are giving this subject an atten-
ton they never before gave 1t, and it seems
TO be made in England, as much matter
ofimportance, as ifthe Eastern empire was
at stake.
In connection with this awakened atten-
ton to the N. E. Boundary, we cannot but
remark upon the large standing army the
British are NOW placing in the Canadas,
number it is said, Is 900 strong among
whom are the Coldstream and Household
Guards, said to be the picked troops OF the
world McKenzie's IN. " Gazette
says, though we have not seen the state
ment elsewhere, that the British are de-
barking their large pieces OF ordnance at
Quebec to take to Madawaska, for the
purpose of throwing up strong lortltlca-
ton in the wilderness there.
Whatever may be the purposes OF Great
Britain in thus increasing its standing ar
my upon this continent, it becomes US to
do our duty to ourselves, and to demand
Justice and protection from the Federal
Government. This state has been horribly
neglected upon this matter, and since the
days of Gov. Lincoln till this time, as
now set forth by Gov. Kent, her interests
have not been urged with that singeness
and discretion that they ought.-Let us
keep our eyes fixed upon the movements
of England. Let US make plain our case.
Let US point out to the Federal Govern
ment its duty and demand the execution
of it. We feel assured that under the
present vigorous pilot at the helm of State,
Maine will not be forgotten or betrayed"

All hostile operations against Texas, have been

meet any emergencies which may arise out Of the
French difficulties.
The intelligence, which had just reached Tampico,
that the United States has consented to refer the
claims to the arbitration of some foreign power has
been received with the warmest manifestations of
appreciation: They speak oft, as strong evidence
of the Justice and honesty of the people of the Unit

The effects ofthe blockade are beginning to be
felt in the seaport towns. Provisions and foreign
merchandise are becoming scarce and dear.

THE NEW LAND LAW.

This new law which originated from the
suggestion of Gov. Kent in his message to
the legislature, was always favorlte plan
of his for developing the resources OF our
State. As long ago as 1880, when he
was member ofthe Legislature he adyo-
Gated this policy, in opposition to the views
of the then dominant Jackson party. they
considered these unsettled lands, merely
as a source of revenue, and wished to sell
them out to any one, who would give the
mos. money for them in this way permit
ting them TO fall into the hands of specula-
tors who would demand exhorbant prices
of actual settlers. Mr.. Kent opposed this,
and used the following language:
"When, Sir, as legislator of the State
of Maine, | cast my eye over these untelled
forests ready for the axe of the pioneer Eoi
civilization. cannot bring myself to the
cool calculation of their market value, and
rest contented if they sell nell. In my
opinion, sir, the first great object which
we should have in view in all our legisla-
ton. is the settlement of those lands. The
great point to which all our acts should
tend, to present inducements to the hardy
yeomanry of our land to migrate to these
sections-so that in few years the desert
NAV become a fruitful field and where
now stands the native unsubdued forest,
our eyes may be blessed with the sight of a
free, enterprising industrious, yankee popu-
lation, with their churches and school hous-
es. l deprecate the policy, sir, which re-
CARDS these lands as-an appendage TO the
Treasury dcpartment-which views them
only as source of revenue-whlch- is
willing to sell them in large tracts to indl-
vidual Spectators. if few dollars can
thereby be placed in our Golfers, although
by these very sacrifices Il will not call them
sales) the settlement will be retarded for
years, and the suffering tenants may mourn
in dust and ashes the hard hearted policy
which has placed not merely themselves
but their towns, under the control of an abb
sent landlord
The settlement of the Aroostook would
have advanced much more rapidly, had the
appropriation for the Road been made,
which the Wings proposed. The Loco
Focos of the Senate who were in MAORI
ty voted it down, but for this they will
meet their reward, if any of them present
themselves as candidates for the suffrages
of the people, at the next September cleo

Ills Excelency the Earl of Durham has

The tone of the Earl Durham's replies
to the two congratulatory addresses, one
from the French Canadians IN this city
and the other from the Wesleyan clergy,
are remarkable for their appropriate lam
guage to persons differing SO much from
each other. eJustice towards the guilty

| The idea of punishment is revolving, but
is necessary that it be inflicted as a warn
ing to evil doors, and as an encourage
ment to those that do well. "He that
spareth the rod hateth the child" is as
true in politics as in the rearing of chill

not be satisfied with any reference which based
upon the treaty of 1885, @n his regret observing that
there was disposition the part ofthe Executive, to
vary from the stipulalons contained in that treaty.
At the request of Mr.. Buchanan, the subject was laid
on tho table till Friday Saturday, when, il pre-
