CHANCE FOR SPECULATION. A very ex-
tenslve sale of real and personal property
is to take place, at public Auction, in Fair
field, on the 9th of June. The property
is situated mostly in Fairfield. and belongs
to the Fairfield Land and Mill Association
Twenty-six Saw Mills, a Tavern stand,
Cupboard, Lath and Single Machines,
dwellng-houses, SC, &C., are among the
items. We understand the Mills are first
rate,.-but whoever buys them, will make
the most money by taking them to pieces
carefully, and rebuilding in Bath. This
is the only course to make that wild specu-
lation amount to anything worth while,

BY the Steamer Hnntress, we have par
tial returns from Virginia, but which, give
US no definite idea Of the final result.
In the Richmond District, Bolts, wing,
is said 10 be elected. In Spots,lvana dis
trct, Linn Banks, loco foco, is reelected,
In Winchester district the contest is doubt.
ful, though an equal chance Of success for
the Wings. For the Legislature, no oppo-
silinn to the Wigs, was made in Rich
mond district. In Caroline district, for tho
Senatorial candidate, The wings succeeded
over the former Speaker Of The Senate,
who was Loco ioco; this is a gain. Two
wings are elected from jefferson; two To-
cos from Frederick Conservative is re-
elected from SpotSylvana, to the IIonse Of
Delegates. The result will be known soon.
Still LATER. The Atlas contains re-
turns from most of the tide water Counties
in the State, where about all the impractical
bic why's reside, and where it has always
been conceded, that loco focoism would
make some acccssions TO its strength. We
find the following additional returns.
In Norfolk district, DR.. Mallory the
Wing Candidate, in consequence of his
own efforts, has been defeated
In Petersburg district F. E. Rives, To-
co foco, has been elected In this district
the wings expected nothng-no opposition
was made. Chesterfield district, has like
wise gone for the locos, under the same
circumstances, as Petersburg. In Bruns-
wick district, Gen. DromgooIc, loco, has
probably been reelected. In the Abe
male district the recollection Of James Gar
land, Conservative, is very certain Lou
isa, heavy tory County, has given him
large majority, and the rest Of the district
is sure for him. In the Northern Neck
district, the contest is close; the chance is
in favor of the Wing Candidate In Mr..
Wise's district, no opposition; of course
he is elected. 1t must be remembered,
that all we expected in these districts, was
to hold our own.
The LEGi STATURE. Dnwddie county
has turned out her Loco Foco late MEM
Der, and elected Whtworth (Whig) by Ga
majority, Henrico has elected McRae
(Whig.) Both these counties were set
down as certain for the Locos by the Rich
mond Enquirer.
Norfolk borough has returned Wing;
Norfolk county Q do; Princess Anne do;
Elizabeth City l do; Nansemond do.
Isle Of Wight, Loco Foco; Surry do;
Prince George l do; Sussex do; Ches,
terheld do; Louisa do.
In Hanover, which last year returned
Loco Foco by very large majority, there
is close and doubtful contest.
In Stafford, last year Loco Foco, Ford
(Whig) was only votes behind Fitzhugh
at the close Of the second day. A good
chance for Ford.
In Albermarle, Messrs. Gilmer and
Southall (Whigs) are reelected without
opposition In Fairfax, the contest was
not decided, the polls being kept open three
days. Jefferson has chosen two wings, as
usual.
Ely Moore, has been appointed Sarvey-

"THE BOUNDARY AGAIN. We, had hoped
SAYS the Times not to be obliged TO men
ton this subject, until we could announce
its final settlement upon just principles,
which event seems to be far in the mystery
Of the future. In the meantime, there is a
constantly excited state Of feeling tending
to trouble and collision. The provincial
warden scnt by agreement, to stop the ma
RAIDERS, has been upon the St. Johns, upon
Fish river, and upon the Allagash; where
the timber upon the banks has been set a
drift to RIM down to the Province, it is sus-
pec;ed. by the Warden's orders. Alvin

pursued and stopped his proceedings A
correspondence took place, in which MIR
Nye stated that his orders would not allow
hi to suffer the timber to be removed out
Of the State Of Maine as follows:

your having assembled the St. Johns River

of driving the imber and Logs now within

To this, Mr. Mclaughlin sent only a
verbal answer that he would meet the Maine
Agent on Fish Rivet.
The following are extracts from the te-
port of Mr. Nye to Col. Jarvis:
"On Tuesday, the Th instant. | re-
ceived information that James Mclaughlin,
Esq. was at Madawuska with a party of
fifty men and some Indians on his way to
this river to take the Timber now in our
boom and 10 drive me off. On the next
day received information in which | had
full confidence, that Mr. Nc Laughlan, with
party of thirty men and some Indians,
armed with guns and bowie knives, had
passed the mouth of Fish River, on their
way to the Alag ash, with the avowed inten-
ton of driving the Lumber out ofthe JdriS-

to take every measure in my power TO re-
tain the Lumber within the State. In dis

THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 80.

"The supporters of Monarchy, and the
upholders of Federalism have many things
in common. y Argus,
The Wings have always been aware of
this;-still, it appears rather honest in the
Argus to admit the fact-an admission, we
must confess that was hardly to be expect
cd from the tory federal organ. The lat
ter party, in this country, advocate the
doctrine, that the President can do no
wrong, and as the fruits of this, we see the
unparalleled assumptions of power, by Gen
Jackson, in the removal of the deposites,
&C., &c, justified and appauded, with un-
hlushing effrontery, by 'the party to a
man, almost and the Argus among the ve-
ry warmest of the number The purse and
the sword, must alike be entrusted to his
keeping, and his hands strengthened to the
utmost, regardless Of the peoples rights,
because, tolsooth, he is the chief executive
and cannot possibly do wrong! This has
been, and still is the doctrine of the ieder-
al loco locos in tEis country; how striking
ly similar to the views entertained by rigid
British monarchists- 'nhe King can
do no wrong" The friends to reform in
Europe, would divest the crown Of lis dam
gerous prerogatvcs, and give the long
usurped power back into the hands Cf the
people, TO whom it righilully belongs, but
the nonarchist startlcs at the measure, and
still clngs to his favorite aristocracy, and
Argus like, defends the corrupting foun-
tain, from which he receives his lordly hon
ors and his delicate vIands So with the
tories in this country; Willie the wings are
endeavoring to curb the unconstitutional
assumptions OF power, on the part OF our
chief rulers and to preserve inviolate, the
inherent and constitutional rights Of the
people, we find that "A party, a disgrace
even 10 the name Of federast, has come
into power under sPeciouo and fiaterihg
pretences, and while the "dear people"
and their "sacrcd rights" have been loud
~ talked Of, the event has clearly shown,
that, like the monarchists of Europe. their
chief object has been to strengthen the
grasping arm of the Executive, and to
usurp the rights of the people, IN order to
subserye their own selfish ends.
But we need not go on with the expos-
ton. The Argus without doubt, perfectly
understands the similarity, having been So
long in The confidence CT the party. II

GLORIOUS TURN" Some kind friend
has sent US long communication respect
ing horse race on fifty dollar bet, for
which we thank him, but must decline in
serting on account of its unreasonable
length. The substance of the story is as
follows: A thorough bred horse jockey
fell in with an awkward acting pedlar, out
of whom he thought to make "a good trade
The pedlar it appears, like the generality
of lis craft, understood himself better than
the Jockey supposed, and after suffering
himself to be tainted and jeered for some
time, at length put down fifty dollars for a
race, on the terms offered by the Jockey.
The reader will imagine the modification
of the jockey, when he saw the rusty ped
lar and his shaggy pony, rapidly outstrip
his own beautiful charger, leaving him far
in the rear, and winning the money hand
somely. This occurred in Alma.

appearances.
