GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED
SrATES


/ We invite attention TO paragraph from isie
number oi the LONDON Morning Chronicle Inc
tone Is moderate and pacific Ia The highest degree.
The Chronicle, II should be remembered, Is the or
gan of t-e British Cabinet, and would not be likely
10 venture the expression OF the opinion 10 which we
alluie, without authority.
"The government Of the United States has been
placid in situation OF extreme danger by the pro-
ceedngs Of Governor Fairfield and Il must he arIily
wish the settlement ol the boundary question, which
every moment is thus liable TO become, in the hands
of firebrands OF the temper Of Governor Fairfield,
III, means Of lighting up general conas graiion.-
None know better than those who nj The head OF
affairs 10 America, thai wisdom and true policy
unavailing 10 se.n the current OF popular excl e.
menf, when stimulating events rouse the feelings Of
the people Or the olher hand. i must be know to
our Cove m.nt that The disaected In both the Ca
nadas will never abandon their schemes, 40 long Us
they cherish hope that this boundary question
may lead to rupture between the two countries
With this feeling The part Of The Two governments
-bah deeply interested 10 removing bone Of con-
leDlion by which they may under The force Of cir
cninslnces be driven ~ aci In opposition 10 their
wishes and intentions, IL cannot We should suppose
be difficult 10 fall on the means OF accommodation
We wonld, therefore, press ministers the import
oil not allowing the present favorable conjunc-
10 pass by without bling turned 10 account, II
possible; and cannot help believing that as both Go
vernmenis must be anxious for The preservation OF
peace, having such strong motives 10 wish for It's
continuance, there Is fairer prospect than ever
OF a dnal settlement Of this boundary question"
THE CHARTIsTs IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Much excitement sill pr vailed at our last dates
from England 10 relation 10 the Corn LAWS and the
course Of The Ministers upon thai subject. What Is
termed the Peoples Cnar,er" was obtaining sig
natures in the manufacturing districts, and J. was
expected that upwards Of Two millions would BE- in
readiness by The 9Th OF May, the tine designated for
the presentation OF the petition TO the House of Com
mons This doca nenl purpor!s 10 dem md from The
House the rights uf universal suffrage the vote by
ballot, the payment OF members the ab ,iion Of The
crn laws, &C. II is believed that Il will b. refused
by The House, which the leaders Of the Charsis ex
pecing, call upon every man who has signed his
name aud prepare for fighting for his rights.
The London Correspondent Of The Courier and En-
quirer says:
These threats Of resortingto physical force have
now become perfectly open with The principal lead
OF the people, who are now assembled 10 London
as delegates what Is term I'd the itioni Conven-
ion and who call meetings Of the people, at TWO OF
which have recently attended and W messed the
most tremendous and enthusiastic cheering on every
allusion To the threatened approaching appeal 10
aims. On The other hand the government Is not
idle in It's preparations, for considerable force vi
artillery and rocket brigades has been ordered from
Woulwich towards Manchester, which is the prin-
cipal focus Of the Charlist cause-and should Lon
don remain tranquil there Is very little doub that
the troops will be able to suppress the insurreclion,
should i b. attempted after the approaching 9Th Of
May. The plans of The leaders OF the Charlists are
believed 10 be directed unfortunately to very con-
tracted and erroneous methods OF conlending with
The government-as should they SUI coed In gaining
the victory over the troops Z is thought probable
that the destruction Of what they term The accursed
factory system will be the principal and immediate
business Of the actors in the condition Of airs
The waste OF properly which would follow the as
tendency of m of lil,le education, and OF the most
contracted views in political economy, is such as TO
render il far from desirabe-ihat even with all the
present suffering Of the people success should attend
the movements which are undoubtedly in prepare
lion, and the history of which win probably be an
important part of the annals # The year 1889.
