ment Square in the heart oil Baltimore
All that evening, however, the Square va
crowded with Delegates, and addresses
were constantly making there by distin.
guisbed Wing orators, from two different
stands.
Ate O'Clock the next morning the Con.
ven,ion reassembed-a bright, mild and
beautiful day having succeeded to The
clouds and winds of the preceding. Two
different stands were formed by the high
steps of different houses al the northwest
and and southwest corners of the Square,
and from these the dense mass was again
addressed by Messrs. Clay, Webster,
Preston, ]. NJ Reynolds, and by several
new speakers among them, Hon Hugh
S. Legare of South Carolina, Mr.. Profit,
Nj. c. from Indiana, F. w. Thomas OF
Ohio, (author Of 'Clinton Bradshaw. &c.
Mr. Dawson, Editor of the Detroit Ad-
veriiser, Michigan, MIR. John M. Eager,
of Orange Co. and Mr.. Buckley of Col
umbia Co. N, Y. The remarks of the
last are said to have been peculiarly cogent
and happy. We heard Mr.. Preston make
the most finished oratorical effort to
which we ever had the pleasure of listen
ing. This country has no popular orator
superior TO William G. Preston. When
he described his dreary and desolate posi-
ton in the Senate two or three years ago,
the only Southern Senator opposed to the
ruling powers-deserted by his colleague,
opposed by all those with whom he would
naturally take counsel, and threatened
with the displeasure of his constituents,
the sky seemed almost to be darkened !;
but when he passed to a contemplation of
the Present aud the Future, and exclaim-
ed. "Thank Heaven, those dreary hours
have past! VIRGINIA has come to the res
cue! NORTH CAROLINA is coming! GEoR-
GIA is coming LOUISIANA is coming! and
tell ynu not the spirit of prophecy but in
the language of assured conviction, SOUTH
CAROLINA will soon shake off the mana
cles which bind her!" thrill of gratula-
ton and gladness swept like lightning
through thousands of manly hearts.
But we must close. The Convention
adjourned at near o'clock, to attend at
the funeral of one of its Marshals unhap-
PLY killed on the preceding day while IN
the discharge of his duty. We were forced
to leave before that, in orderto be at home
in season to write this account; but we un-
derstood the Delegates would reassemble
at 5 O'Clock, hold short session and ad-
iourn finally. So closes the largest and
most glorious gathering of Freemen ever
known to any country. Who shall say its
beneficent influences will not he felt

THE TELEGRAPH.

THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 81.

We ask no apology for introducing copious ex-
tracts from the Foreign news, received by the Brit
ish Queen. at New York, on Sunday last Although
we can form no decisive opinion as 10 the ultimate
aspect Of the propositions which may have been re-
ceived by Government from that of Great Britain,
yet the annexed documents entitled to great con-
sideraon and will ftrue advance the settlement OF
this ''vexed question: very mate rally.
From the N. Y. Jour- of Commerce.
ADJUSTMENT OF TIE BOUNDARY
QUESTION.
The late hour at which the papers by the Brit
ish Queen reached US, rendered it impossible to
give full view of the news in our morning edi-
ton. In examining them further. it is with
heartfelt satisfaction find that the delicate
and difficult question of our Northeastern Boun-
Diary, is, in all probability, adjusted. 1t appears,
that the award of the King of the Netherlands,
which made the river st. Johns the boundary
between the two countries, is to be the basis of
the new arrangement, and that an indemnity
to Maine for any supposed rights she may possess
TO land north of the St. Johns, the British Gov
eminent is to pay her 100000 about half a
million of dollars. Most sincerely do we rejoice
in this compromise, not so much because 1t is,
or is not, good bargain in itself, as because it re-
moves bone of contention which has long exist
ed, and the right to which, each party has claimed
with so much confidence, that it was impossible
to say when how the affair could be amicably
adjusted 1t would i'll become US to object to the
arrangement said to have been aged on, since a
reference to our files will show that it is exactly
the arrangement that we recommend, save that
we did not specify the amount which England
ought to pay to Maine by way of compromising
her claims to the lands relnquished.
| Below will be found extracts from two of the
leading Administration papers of England one
of them the Morning Chronicle, whose article
may be taken semi-oficial.
Doubtless dispatches have come, forwarded by
the British Queen, which will apprise our Gov
eminent of the precise posture of the negocia-
ton but we trust it will be found not far differ
ent from what is indicated above.
In any view of the case, all danger of a war,
growing out of this prot acted controversy, is al
an end Had we tory Administration to deal
with, the case might be different.
(From the Manchester Guardian April 30th.1
THE BOUNDARY QUESTION. Reports have re-
Gently become current, to the effect that minis
tiers have agreed with the American minister upon
a basis for the settlement of the long disputed
boundary question, by the adoption Of the inter
mediate line proposed by the King of the Meth
erlands, and the payment of of f200,00C
to the State of Maine, by the British Government
These rumors-for which, we believe, there is
some foundation-have, of course set the con
ductors of the tory press in motion, with the view
of attacking the proposed rrangement,-just as
they woald have attacked any other Oouse which

Resoipsd, That the fund thus raised
shall be placed IN the hands of the execu-

These resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the convention, and the follow

ResoIred. That the president OF this
convention be requested to call on the sew

for brief statements of their present poliii-
cal condition and prospects.
In pursuance Of this resolution, the
president of the convention severally call

dressed the convention in regard to the cur
rent of popular opinion in their several
states. the ruin of business. and destruc-
ton of trade growing out of the measures
of the Administration, the necessity that
was felt for change, and the conviction
experienced that nothing but tho expert

that threatened TO overwhelm them. The
