An extraordinary course has lately bees ts-

upon the answers TO be given. leaving the poor

CINcINNATI, Feb. 90, lS4o.
Oswego Union Association.
Geptlemen-Yourle letter Of the 3lst ult., ad-
dressed to General Harrison. has been placed
in our possession with a view TO early attention.
This is unavoidable, 10 consequence nf the very
numerous letters daily received by the General.
and TO which his reply in person is rendered
absolutely inpracticable. As from mis- conf
Dental committee, You will look upon this
response aud il the policy observed by the
committee should not meet with your approba-
ton YOU will attribute the error rather 10 our
selres and his immediate adrisers than Geo.
Harrison. That policy is, that the General
make no further declaration Of his principles.
Tor the public eye whilst occupying his present
position.
Such course has been adopted, not for pur-
poses Of conce alment, nor to avoid all proper
responsibility; but under the impression that
the Generals views, in regard TO all the impor-
tent and exciting questions OF the day. have
heretofore been given TO the public, tuiiy'and
expicitly and that those views, whether con-
pected with constitutional or other questions OF
yery general interest. have undergone no
change. The committee are strengthened IN
regard to the propriety Of this policy; that no
new issue be made to the public, in consideration
that the national convention deemed il ,mPoltte
at the then crisis, to publish any general deetar-
alton Of the views OF the great opposition party.
and certainly the policy at the present. remains
unaliered. In the meantime We cannot heip
expressing the hope. that our friends every
where. will receive the nomination OF Oenen'
Harrison with something akin to gensrous. eoo
hdence. When We reflect upon the ois'n-
ouisbed intelligence Of the nominating convex
,iop-bow ably all interests were represented IN
,b,, b.dy we sertsinIy have high suarsny'
that should General Harrison be To. success

SOUTHERN BouNDRAY.-Wc notice in
the last number Of the Wisconsin Enqui-
rer a long and we'll written article on this
subject. Without adopting either side, it
is fair representation Of the question, as
it now stands before the people Of the ter
ritory. That portion of it which relates
to the RIGHT of Wisconsin, and the only
argument brought TO bear against that right,
we copy, as follows:
"The question presented is, did not the
people within the limits Of the fifth subdi-
vision, at the time of the State organiza-
ton Of Illinois, give their consent, tacitly
at least, TO the alteration in their southern
boundary provided for in the act of"Con-
gross admitting the third State into the I'm
ION. Were they not represented, by dele
gate, in the Congress Of the United States.
when the present northern boundary of
Illinois was established by law; and by not
Directing TO it, have they not coded or for
ielted their right-did not their silence give
consent? Is not the relative situation Of
Wisconsin and Illinois, the sap1e as that Of
Michigan and lndlanal Congress, by act
of April 10, 1916, for the admission of
Indiana, shifted the east and west line
drawn through he~southcrly bend or ex-
treme of Lake Michigan, 10 an east and
west line ten miles north of the other. This
alteration (say Kent and Ogden, in their
opinion given in 1888, in relation TO the
dispute between Ohio and Michigan, was
made with the consent of Indiana, declar-
ed by her convention, and Michigan did
not question il. Therefore, say they, at
PASSED BY COMMON CONSENT" Congress.
by act of April Is, 1918, for admitting IL
linois into The Union, again shifted the
east and west line drawn through the south
erly bend or extreme Of Lake Michigan,
to an east and west line drawn fifty or six
ty miles north of the other This altera-
ton was made with the consent Of Illinois.

instead of paddle wheels. The expe /
ments seem TO show an advantage IN favor
o the screw.
April 28.-On this day, Capt. Chappell
r. NJ, and Mr.. Lloyd, Engineer from ii.
NJ. Dock Yard at Woolwich, commenced
the superiuiendence of the trials, having
been sent down specially by the Lords
Commissioners OF the Admiralty TO report
thereon.
A. NJ. 8 IS. left Dover Roads with II.

geon beat by exactly 10 minutes. No sail
set this day.
Widgcon is the fastest Of the Dover
Packets, her engines being of 90 horse
power; her power is thus 10 horses great
er than the Archimedes, while her tonnage
is so tons less. Most of the Dover Pack
cts are OF 70 horse power; they are, on
an average, about 80 tons smaller, draw
IL feet less water, and arc not SO broad by
5 feet.
During the whole Of these trials the sea
has been perfectly smooth, and no oppor-
tunity has hitherto occurred of displaying
the peculiar advantage of the screw over
the paddle wheels in rough sea and q
strong wind.
Since the above was written,--ln run

Archimcdes by only 81 minutes liz gong,

On the lst of May, the Widgeon and
Archmcdcs started together for Calais,
with fresh breeze, both carrying sail and
s!caming. -Archimedes performed inc dis
lance to Calais Roads in h. | M, beating
Widgcon by 8 min. In returning to Dover,
she beat the Vidgeon by nnutcs, making
the distance in h. 53 m n.-thc fastest pas
sage ever made between France and Eng
land, by IA minutes.
