CORRESPONDENCE

AT a late hour OF the morning, the annex
ed correspondence was placed in our hands
for publication. The object is to dsabuse
the public 10 regard to the language that has
been imputed to Mr. Webster. on the floor Of
the Senate, touching the boundary question,
and the excitement in Maine AS reported
by the letter writers, his words were impetu.
ously warlike--as given and explained by
himself, they ATE exactly what they should
have been-neilher vauniing nor rash-but
wise, firm, and patriotic.
NEw-YoRK, March 9th, 1889.
My DEAR SIR-l find our community in
a very excited temper with respect to the
border controversy, which. in the opinion OF
many. threatens inevitable and early hostli.
ties between England and the United States.
Such an event seems 10 me so improbable,
that take every occasion to express my
disbelief oft; but am constantly answered,
that you have yourself coun,enanced these
alarms, and declaration on the floor Of the
Senate is ascribed to you that if England
did not settle this matter By the 4th OF July
next, the disputed territory should be seized
by the United States.
This statement is so much unlike all that
| heard from you while we were together
recently in Washington, and is SO entirely
at variance with the cool. stalesmanlike
views which characterize your public career,
that cannot believe in It's accuracy.
therefore take the liberty Of inqniring VIA,
We're the opinions expressed by you on the
occasion referred 10, and also what are your
views in respect 10 The termination OF our
present difficulties with England With
great respect, yours.
