endeavor would be Immediately made, by |
the British Government, to adjust the dIspu-
ted boundary question. The journal OF
Commerce this morning announces tnat the
matter is already settled by comPromlse-
Great Britain to pay f2OOOOO to Name Ior
all the territory lying north OF the river 81.
John's: and for authority gives extracts
from the Manchester Guardian, the London
Times and the London Chronicle, the latter
of which we COPY:
From The Money article Of the Morning Chronicle dGted
: = Wednesday, afternoon, APr't2S
The consol market remained inactive
throughout the greater part OF the day, the
quotations being 80 7-S to 81 for the account;
but toward the close of the business, prices
improved to 81 l.S. This improvement was
produced from its being currently reported
that the question of the Maine boundary has
been settled between Lord Palmerston and
Mr., Stevenson, the American ambassador
The statement is, that the boundary proposed
bv the King of Holland is yet to be adopted
as the basis of an arrangement, and that the
state of Maine is to receive E2OO,OOO, IN name
of compensation for acceding to this ADJUST
nent. and i'm consideration of the extent OF
territory within the line claimed by that
state, which will thus fail 10 be abandoned on
her part toward the shore OF the st. Law,
renee. We understand that an lnhuentlai
member of Congress from the state OF Maine,
who visited this country last year, expressed saa
pose pose that the plan Of settlement above refer
red to would be likely to receive his support
Another rumor on the same subject is, that
the agreement is similar to that mentioned
in Mr.. Forsyth's last letter to Mr.. Fox, name
ly, the reference of the entire question to
friendly power-not reference such as that
which was made to the King of Holland,
70 doc1ar which nf tho lines cl0inn.
ed by the two countries ought to be adopted,
but an unconditional reference of the whole
rights and claims of parties, so as to invest
the reference with ample authority to exhaust
the subject, and unequ;vocally to bind both
to agree by his award.
Fair and Honorable. Moses Dawson, the
Editor of the leading Van Buren, paper in
Cincinnati, some five years since, wrote BIZ
ography of General Harrison. He is now
opposed to his election to the Presidency and
supports the cause of the present incumbent
He has begun, in his paper, series of letters
to the old General on the policy of the Wing
party. In the first of these, he uses the fol-
lowing language, which forms rare and
honorable exception to that employed by
most Of the opponents Of Gen. Harrison.
"That it is a painful as we'll as an ungra-
cious task to give opposition to the elevation
of friend to any Office, am free to de-
clare, and more particularly it is SO to me
when that Office is the highest to which any
man can aspire; but flatter myself that
this circumstance is the most conclusive evil
dence of my disinterestedness in the case
In the work alluded to, have represented
you as brave and capable commander, a
disinterested patriot and an honest man all
Of which did and do yet believe you to be,
and 70 the utnoost of INV weak ability de-
believe 10 be the foulest SANDERS, and of
those counts in your favor, have never vet
had reason to repent. IF in nv future re-
marks, then, l may impugn your political
opinions, or contest your Judgment on con-
stitutional questions, must not be consider
ed as doubling of the purity of your motives
or the honesty of your intentions"
Such are the opinions of one who knows
Gen. Harrison Intimately, and who opposes
his election TO the Presidency. His OPPOSE
ton is based on political considerations
alone. Dawson is a Loco Foco, in favor of
the sub-treasury, and an exclusive specie
currency of course, opposed to Banks and
with him on these no;nts md If course can.
not receive his s,,nnort. Such onposition
e nerfectlv leritimnta and honorable. We
desire our readers TO mark The Testimony Of
this political OppO71ent OF Gen. Harrison. lie
