upon the points Of disagreement, and these
differences are now to be submitted 10 the
arbitration Of some friendly sovereign or
state. The disputed points should be settled
and the line designated, before the Terrific

boundaries, takes its place 10 the Union as
State, and rely upon the cordial coop
Grafton Of the British Government TO effect
that object.
CANADA
There is every reason 10 believe that
disturbances like those which lately aeita-
ted the neighboring British Provinces will
no, again prove the sources of border con-
tcntion, or inierpose obstacles TO the con-
tinuance of that good understanding which
il is the mutual interest Of Great Britain
s. the u. States To preserve and maintain.
There are TO be no more disturbances in
Canada! The combned forces of England
and America have given Canadian freedom
its quietus! May be so. IF we mistake
not Liberty yet lives, and will rise again
with renewed vigor from the ashes of La
cadie and ST. Eustache.
MISGUIDED SYMpATHy.
Within the provinces themselves tram
guilty is restored, and on our frontier that
misguided sympathy in favor of what was
presumed to be a genera! effort in behalf
Of popular rights, and which in some in
stances misled few Of our more inexper-
enced citizens, has subsidized into a rotion-
al conviction strongly opposed to all inter
meGdling with the internal affairs Of onr
neighbors. The people Of the United
States feel, as it is hoped they always will
a warm solicitude for the success Of all
who are Sincerely endeavoring to improve
the political condition Of mankind. This
generous feeling they cherish towards the
most distant nations; and it was natural
therefore, that il should be awakened with
more than common warmth in behalf OF
their immediate neighbors. But it does
not belong 10 their character, as commu-
nifty, to seek the qualification of those
feelings in acts which violate their DUTY
as citizens, endanger the peace of their
country, and tend to bring upon il the |
stain Of a violated faith towards foreign
nations. II, jealous to confer benefits on
others, they appear for moment TO lose
sight Of the permanent obligations imposed |
upon them as citizens, they are seldom
long misled. % From all the information
| receive, confirmed to some extent, hy |
personal observation. am satisfied that no
one can now hope 10 engage in such enter
prises without encountering public ndigna-
ton, in addition to the severest penalties
of the law."-
If the free citizens Of this mighty Re-
public were still the subjects Of Great Bri-
tain or the serfs of Russia it might do to
threaten sympathi-ers with "publc in
dfgnatton" and "he sererest penalties of
The la,c."
The "misguided symrathisers" will
share The benefits Of Republican generosi-
ty with Mr.. Mackenzie il they don't look
ont.
