rYThe question has been often asked by those
who do not SO well understand the motives and
principles which move Mr. Van Buren, TO action in
all cases, twill the President send special Minis
ter TO England to hasten the settlement of the
Boundary question:" The suspicion has for some
time been gaming credit, that he was scheming 10

cause il would cost few thousand doliars-nor
because the people of the United States did not
anxiously look for and desire such an appointment
but because, il would, if the right man had re-
ceived the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Webster or Marcy
lend TO bring the question to an immediate crisis,
and corapel Great Britain to take different ground
than what she has yet done. Lord PalmerstOn-
of course, desiring to delay such crisis-was east
ly induced to say that the appointment ola special
Minister would be of little avail, which is offered
to the American people by the President, ex.
cuse for not appointing one One step more and
the ridiculous will be reached; that is, to ask Pal

Maine.
arYp5d Bypugham and Secretary Butler declared in
the territory preposterous, ridiculous and wick
cd, yet our Government is preparing for and con.
| senting TO measures calculated to continue that a
matter ofcontension, which is now as clear as the
suns rays at noon day. The proposition of the
British Government for a survey will probably
be acceded to by ours, which will protract the DIS
pute without any reasonable ground of hope that it
will lead to any satisfactory results The expert
ment has been tried. A survey was made about
twenty years ago by the engineers of the two gov.
ernments. and tailed to produce any other result
than that of confirming the causes OF disagreement
for that length of time From a letter dated at
Washington, we extract the following;
"Mr Forsyth Is rejoicing over the success of mis-
secret instructions to Mr. Stevenson SO to manage

preston OF the BRUSH Government against the pro-

Connell In recent speech upon upon this sub
ject he thus described the practical effect of these
laws upon the people,
"Three hundred and forty-two of John Bulls
representatives have decided said he, 'that The
poor widow shall pay twopence for that which she
might get for halfpeny; that the child may cry
for its Bread but cannot obtain it, lest the Duke OF
BnckIngharn's carriage should not have sufficelt

ted to be abroad. You perform your relative duties
in private life under the sanction of awful re-
spons'bity; but is not that responsibility incurred

o. The statement which we copied last week
from the N. .. Bee, TO the effect that Gen. Ma
comb had concluded treaty with the Seminoles
was incorrect. No such treaty has been made
Gen. M. is now in Florida attempting to bring a.
bout such result; but the Indians are coy and
fear treachery, we'll remembering the base conduct
OF Jessup toward them. Soome yankee has sont q
proposition to the President, to finish the war by
the JOB. lie proposes to hunt the Indians with
dogs Should Gen M. fail of success in his mis-
sion, the people of the. United States may make
up their minds to be taxed another twenty millions
to drive the Semnoles from their possessions

been wnylad while in pursuit of the enemy, and

GJWe see it stated in several papers that in the
region where they are published, unusual guam
tity of grain has been this spring, and the
farmers, stimulated by the high prices of provisions
the last season making extensive preparations
for full graneres and calculating on full purses
next antumn. May they not be DISAPPOINTED
Another fact is mentioned Many people who
have heretofore pursued other employments are
turning their attention to agriculture. Mechanics,
merchants, &c. have turned farmers--not only they
but even Governors and Editors. Gov. Hill IAN
other CincpuatusD and Gov. Ritner have both
taken to the plough; and our friend of the N. III.
Statesman intimates that he is about to initiate the
illustrious example of the above named distinguish
ed gentlemen. mechanic, residing not many
miles from us, remarked to us few days since that
many of his profession had left their shops and
become farmers. Well, the farmers turning
merchants, and it is all right suppose. These
shftings in employments will work revolution in
prices.

MONEY MATTERS AT THE SOUTH WEST The
condition of the monetary affairs of Louisiana, AL.
ALBANIA and especially of Mississippi,i is wretched
enough indeed The shock which visited all parts
of the country in 80 and SO, is still felt there with
increased violence-producing ruin and consequent
distress among the people. That "baIl,'' which
benton, SOLITARY and alone put in motion, still
eches Its paraiyzng thunders in their ears The
Mississippi newspapers are crowded with advcr-
easements OF Sherifs sales--and plantations that
formerly sold for 20 and $50 per acre. are now SELL
ing at 81 90 per acre, cash down. Cotton, at the
same tlme as do all the products of those regions
for foreign consumption, bears high price. The
Southern people must come into the free labor sys-
tenn and then they will the better resist the effects
of interferences with the currency of the country
by those who stake the responsibility" ,.

ENGLISH CORN LAW.

England for some time past has been convulsed
by the agitation of the question of repeal of the
corn Law, particularly in the larger manufacturing
cities and villages. A national convention was
some time in session concurrent with the setting of
Parliament before its adjournment, which demand
ed in strong language the repeal ofsaid law. The
principle of the law is this: in 1928 the present
law came into force, which allows wheat to be i'm
ported when at 62s. upon payment of 24s. Sd. duty
per quarter,-when the price reacher 73s. only Is
is demanded
One of the most powerful and unflinching advo.
Gates for the repeal ofthe corn law, is Daniel o..

D51The butchers of Baltimore and Philadelphia
have held meetings and agreed not to pay more
than 10 and l2 per cwt. for beet, and the drovcrs
refusing TO sell these prices, the market places
are nearly vacant. The people generally in these
TWO cities, appear to appreciate the butchers in the
position taken by them, and cheerfuly adopt the
Graham notions in their diet, rather than beggar
their pockets. The drovers, it is said, have form.
ed combinations TO sustain the present high prices,
that they may realize great profits Perseverance
by the consumers Of beef will soon break up the
combinations, and force the drovers to sell at fair
price The New Workers have partially resolved
upon this plan, but the Gothanlites love beef too

of his cause. People embrace notions much
more readily when their pockets respond to the APP

CHEEkIre PRosrEcr We gather from various
pape the following items respecting the state Of
the grain crops in different parts Of the Union
The Reading (Penn\ Jefferson Democrat OF
Thursday last says, told by many of our
farmers that they do not recollect Of having seen
the fields look better than they do at the present
time, for an abundant crop of Wheat and Rye
The corn and cotton crops in the northern part OF
Mississippi are represented to be in a prosperous
condition.
| The Richmond Compiler says Tin Northern
Virginia and her great and rich vales, the Wheat
Crops reported TO be luxurant and bounufully
| promising. In the James river Wheat districts
I they represented as unpromislng-the ''hy" is
said have carried its ravages to great extent"
The Enquirer says =" In the upper part OF Vir-
gna, the crop is said TO be very promising-but in
Spottsylvania, Goochand, Powhatan, BuckIng ham
Amelia, &c. the accounts gloomy enough Not
only has the Hessan fly been destructive, but the
Chinch bug, which has seldom appeared sooner
than June, has this year shown itself as early as
March But the wet spell. which have now
had for three days. will contribute to clear of the
enemies of the crop.
The last Genesee Farmer says: eve are inform
ed that wheat never looked more promising at this
season Of the year, than il does at present So far
we have eniUyed most propuous season. The
fine showers Of Wednesday must have gladdened
the farmers heart as they seemed alone wanting
TO crown his wishes. In view OF this cheering
prospect we are told the price Of wheat has de-
clined rihe."
The Cincinnati Gazette says "That the state
Of the crop in the West is highly favorable TO an
abundant harvest.
