The Boston Mercantile of Thursday afternoon Judi
colsy remarks in reference to the acceptable of the
Protocolby Sir John Harvey:
We hope that no false pride, no deep seated feelings
OF Indignation against the British authorities will pre-
vent the government Of Maine from accedng any fair
anu honorable terms for th.cing compromise, cav
ing the settlement of the general question, where it pro-
pery belongs-tle Federal Government. We hope
much from the influence OF Gen Scott-who will
seek 10 involve lis country unnecessa ry in Il with
foreign power-and who will advise measures which
will not tend to furnish the honor Of the American
tion
Besides Sir John Caldwell, who brought the pacific
