THE BOUNDARY QuEsTIoN.

We confess ourselves startled at the Sc.
RIOTS character Of the remarks made on
Friday last IN the Senate, by Mr.. Bucha.
nan, and others, upon the Maine Bounda.
ry Question. Mr.. Buchanan Is the Chan
man Of the Senate Committee Gu Foreign
Relations; and 10 whatever falls from him,
therefore, on the subject Of those relations,
much consideration is justly due. We are
panied 70 learn, from his lips, that serious
difficulties are unprecedented with the Brit.
ISL Government before the controversy
concerning the Boundary is brooght to a
close. We are, we repeat, sorry to hear
IT, having confidence in the honorable Sen
ator, that he would not say So if he did not
think SO. We had hopcd-nay, we still
hope-better things. We canaot bring
ourselves 10 believe that the dispute upon
this point can be carried to extremities be-
tween two Nations having the good feeling
towards each other which the People and
Governments Of Great Britain and the I'M.
ted States now really have.
Enough was said IN the brief debate Of
saturday, by every gentleman who look
part IN il, 70 wake up public attention,
which, IN this part Of the country al least,
has Lecn profoundly asleep, in reference to
this whole matter, ever since the effect Of

In estimating the loss of property des-
troycd, we are happy to say, We would sup
pose $500, 900 would cover the whole ; and
Of this, about $4,000 are covered by IN
surance, here aud abroad. This however,
still leaves US severely burthened. But it
is not Of our losses we would speak. These
though grcviouS may bc borne. Wewould
rather remind our fellow townsmen, that
mankind never appear 50 exalted as when
successfully struggling against adversely.
Disaster may appal, but it can never over
whclm an elevated mind, "The noble
wear disaster as an angel wears ms wings,
to elevate and glority." Let US then, throw
ourselves upon our rccuperative energies,
and show to the world that although we
may be pressed for season, we cannot be
kept down. And we will be chccred under
