ted
Whereas. in the opinion of this meet
ing, momenious crisis has arrived in
the posture Of our National affairs. and
the minlstration Of our General Gov
eminent has become so disastrous 10 the
vital interests OF our common country
and is so eminenily calculated, unless n
eRectual change be made therein by the
manly exercise Of the lreeman's glorious
Priyile &c OF suffrage, to sap those foun-
dations upon which the Constitution Of
the United States has hitherto been so
proudly based amid all the elements OF
party and IA ction:
Therefore Resolved, That with sol.
emn conviction Of the truth Of our deg
laratioDs, we do adopt the recommenda
ton Of the Wing Central Committee a.

hereby appointed delegate to repre-.
sent the Wings of Fsyete county in the
Stanton Convention, 10 be holden Oh the
18th Of September next.
Resolved, That Kenton Harper, esq,
be requested in case OF the absence OF

FLOUR MARKET.

The news brought by the Liverpool
steamship, of uuiavorable weather in
England for the harvests, had quite a
lively effec, on the New York Flour
market, though no confidence was Eel,
IN It's continuance, as change in the
weather seemed to have taken place
just before the Liverpool left. Sales
were made Of eight or ten thousand bar

brands. A large amount of orders to pur.
chsse had been received from England
out they were generally limited TO Sc
otherwise the whole stock in market
which is estimated at not more than for.
ty thousand barrels, would have been
taken up. This appears little strange
to us. as all the accounts hitherto have
represented the crops in that country as
being remarkably promising-an aud we
suppose it is only to be referred TO the
excltab!e fears of the millions OF that
crowded isle. Six thousand barrels of
The quantity purchased are said 10 have
been intended for Immediate shipment.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York Courier, under date Of the 2sth
July, thus remarks in regard TO the
crops in France:
The crisis Of the harves, has arrived

would be tolerable crops but if the

THE BOUNDARY QUESTION.

In the Senate Thursday, Mr. Buchanan from
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported on the
late message OF the President by resolution TO the
following import:
That the committee cannot find, in the whole
correspondence between the authorizes OF the Uni
ted States and Great Britain, trace of an agreement
allow exclusive Jurisdiction TO Great Britain
the disputed territory, but the contrary it discoy
ers an agreement that each party should abstain
from exercising jurisdiction except over such parts
were already 10 their possession respectively.
That the commiiteee cannot perceive that Maine
has violated The spirit Of any agreement by sending
a Land Agent 10 drive off trespassefs, both par
ties having that right taking care to retire upon the
accomplishment of that object.
That If the British authorities persist in ma intan
ing exclusive jurisdiction by military force, the ext
gency will have occurred in which, under the
Constitution, will become the duty the president
to repel invasion.
Tha, If The Government Of New Brunswick shall
refrain from executing lis threat of enforcing excu-
sye jurisdiction, and Maine refuse TO withdraw her
troops M alne will not then be entitled % the military
aid Of the United States.
UNITED STATES AND MAINE, &c.
Mr. Howard hom the Committee on Foreign Re
lations, TO which had been referred the message
OF the President O the the United States in rcs ION
to the difficulties between Maine and the Province of
New brunswick, made report Of very important
Character, accompanied by bill in substance as
follows: The lirt section authorizes the President
TO resist any attempt Of Great Britain, by arms
10 exercise jurisdiction over that part of
the territory of Maine which is in dispute and to
employ the naval and military forces of the United
States, and such portions of the militia as he may
deem 1t expedient TO bring into service. The second
section provides, in case factual invasion, imni
danger thereof before Congress can be conven-
ed, to raise provisional force OF twenty regiments
consisting Of rlnemen, cavalry. artillery and in
iantry. Third section, put all the naval force in
commission. Fourth section, to borrow ~ mil
lions of doars upon certificates of stock, irredee
able for five years. at per cent. Section five, pro-
vdes for an outfit for special embassyto London to
cooperate with the resident Minister there, and
urge prompt settlement of the boundary question.
The subject, after some discussion, referred to
the Committee of the Whole, the state of the u
Mon and made the special order of the day for Sat
urday, to take precedence Of all other business.

not be inappropriate TO observe here, also, that the
auction and salt duties, and every other auxiliary
means, (Which all charged to tile canals in tho.
foregoing statements,) were, on the Ist of Ju., y
1886, Withdrawn from that fund, and added TO the
general fund Of the state, iom which, toi a temporary
period they were withdrawn, the tolls having thai
time accumulated in the hands of the commits
sioners TO an amount sufficient exiting utah tie
whole of the outstanding debt. Two other facts here
deserve notice. The frsis that in 1926, 8" the state
tar was discontinued )" and the second that the
state debt due in 1887, paid before the period
fxedby law for its redemption; while. of that por-
ton which becomes due in 1645, one million of dol
lars has been already paid, and sum more than suf-
hcient to reimburse the interest upon the remainder
is now invested in temporary loans. preparatory to
its final extinguishment in that year Nor should
II be lost sight OF that Tor the privilege Of paying
million Of the debt Of 1S45 before it fell due, the state
gave premiums of per cent. upon the stock to the
amount Of S276,035 81, which, Of course, in fair
estimate Of profit and loss" should be deducted
rom the amount now chargeable 10 the canal fund.
nd all these beneficial and brilliant results havs
'een accomplished, in despite of rapid and repeat
ID reduction of the tolls, a reduction amountingto
nearly 20 per upon the original rates, early
