We necessarily confined to-day to very small por

Trio of Orators bore down upon the People at the last

to take the county by storm. Valentine w Southall,

Giles c. H., that the Democratic Convention met there
and nominated Col. w. Thomas, the late Senator for

ccpted Ballard Preston addressed the people on the
same day-and rakcd up all the ridiculous slang Of the
worst g press; such the 200 900 standing army,

Inmates at only half millionllc charged also upon
Mr. Van Buren, the resolution against the war, which
late Globe nails to the counter "Fcderal Forgery,
and passed at Hudson by his Federal enemies, and

the Renegade Lockrdge; and that the 'nc"s which it
has received from the county, leaves no doubt of
Birds success" The Signs indeed are bright from
every part of the horizon.
They are also cheering in other quarters. A friend
in Washington writes us, tMr. - has Just re, .-."d

He is like poor George the Sd, when he was run mad
lie is in the hands of his three keepers, who watch him
and will not let him express his opinions, for fear of
offending the Abolitionsts. What would these Wigs
have said, if Mr.. Van Buren, had thrown himself into
the arms of such Trio when Gwin, Jones, Sherrod
Williams and others Intercepted him: Mark the

SoTALIY!
We have no room for remarks upon the correspond
ence between Messrs Fox and Forsyth, which we lay
before our readers this morning. 1t has produced
much excitement at Westinghouse appears by the
following letters:
"Uasiington, March 26.-The President sent to the
Senate long Correspondence between Messrs. Fox
and Forsyth. The feeling throughout the correspond
cncc is bcligcrent-Mr. Fox acknowledges the British
have troops the disputed Territory, and that thew in.
tend to retain possession, and call on our Government
to withdraw troops The affair here has created
wonderful excitement. The Senate just ad ourned.'
March 27th.-"Mr Fox's endeavor to shift the ac-
countabty Of military possession this Government,
is most ably handled by Mr.. Forsyth He says truly,
in many words, that the attempt is not justified by
the facts in the case-tat Great Britain, has not d
rected or complied with the arrangement entered into
4 ~ n -
the further argument, and refers the last note of Mr.
Forsyth to his Government for reply. When that
ply comes to this country, it is fair presume that the
conduct of the colonial Government of New Bruins
wick will be sustained. Much as dread the dread.
nl ravages Of war, yet must be prepared for the
worst. Col. Benton said yesterday, in his few remarks
when the Message read, THAT preserve peace,
every must be prepared for war So, in truth, 1t
must be- Let Great Britain be satisfied are in
est, and the Territory will be given up. She wishes
not TO have pass at arms with u.s. Mr.. Webster also
spoke in favor of the tone Of the message or note of Mr.
Forsyth The Senate was silent as the grave each men,
Der looking for the denouemen and all willing to have
the coming storm avcred if possible but unanimous for
settlement of the question at once, by peace or
If peace be retained with honor and the faith of the
treaty Of 49, then let us have peace-but if the treaty,
our honor, is TO be invaded, then comes and all
its attendant consequences
We shall wait with much solicitudc for intelgen
from England. We deprecate war, unless the ri ghts
and honor of country demand it. With TIE Old
Hero we would neither do wrong suffer wrong. In
addition to the accounts from Washington we have
some squally signs in the following extracts from the
Alexandria Gazette and the Washingto Globe:
