LATER FROM ENGLAND.

MAINE BOUNDARY.-The British Explor
ing Commissioners, Messrs, Nudge and Feath-
erstonbaugh arrive at the following extraordln>
ary conclusion.
ave report, that we have found line Of
highlands agreeing with the language Of the
second article Of the treaty of 1888, extending
FROM the northwestermost head Of the Gonnectl-
cut river, to the sources of the Chaudiere, and
passing thence in northeasterly direction, south
ofthe Roostuc, to the Bay of Chaleurs.
"We further report. that there does not exist
in the disputed territory, any other line Of high
lands, which is in accordance with the second
article OF the treaty of 1888, and that the line
which is claimed on the part Of the United
States as the line of highlands of treaty ofl7S3,
does not pass nearer than from forty 10 fifty
miles of the northwesermost head Of Connect
cut river, and therefore has no pretension to be
put forward as the line intended by The treaty Of
i793."
The report (says the Liverpool Times) is &C.
companed by number of maps, one Of them
! marked A. exhibiting all the lines of highlands
existing in the disputed territory, and certainly
nothing can apparently be more distinct than thu
line Of heights on which the British Govern
ment POUNDS its claim. In this line some of tn,
height of two thousand feet, others of nineteeI
hundred, and the mass of Them seeE to be
thousand feet in elevation. 1t fhrther appear
that considerable portion Of the line of noun
tains on Mr.. Barnum's map. OH which the peo
pie of Maine principally rest their claim, has nj
existence whatever the country being perfectly
level. This is, ofcourse, an ex parte statement
. but if the face of ter itory should b.
found by the arbitrator to whom the whole que
ton is to be referred, if the British and Ameri
can commissioners should not agree, to be as q,
scribed by Col. Nudge and Mr.. Featherston
baugh, thers can be little doubt that the create
portion, if not the whole, will be awarded t
this country.

NORTHEASTERN RouNnARY

I4ugh, The British Commissioners who were ap
Iolnted to explore the disputed boundary.
They have satisfactorily ascertained by strict
investigation Of the face Of the country. by an

color OF justice, have been claimed by the Uni.

land, which trasferred to the republic about three
hfths OF the disputed territory" was founded

THE GREAT TRIUMPH OF De-
MOCRACY In ILLINOIS.

The Springfield State Register says
that "the late election turned exclusively
on national politics in every par! of the
State, except in the county Of Edgar.
and also in a few counties where no
whig could be found bold enough to
enter the canvass. No election ever
held in this State 80 thoroughly con-
vused the people as the present. The
federal party had thrown the gauntlet of
defiance al the unbendDg Democracy.
They held conventions, drank hard cl-
der, shouted for Tlppecanoe, ''huzza,
huzza, huzza"--spent money by thous-
ands to carry on a system of senseles
pageantry. They had convinced ihefn-
selves that the State was theirs. Dread
full aud overwhelming have been lheil
disappointment and overthrow. The
people in their majesty, have rebuked
the senseless attempts of the hard cider
drinkers. ."-Slatesman.

THE
PHILADELPHIA CASKET.
TINpARALIELED SUCCESS


PROSPECTUS OF A NEW VOLUME !
The great in crease in the subscription list Of the
Caskst since the first of the year, warrants the
most extensive Improvements on the first OF July
next at which time new volume will be CONF
menced with increased vigor. Nothing need be
said of the firm basis oil which the Casket
stands it being already the oldesImasazine in the
country.
TYPE EMBELLISHMENTS.
The Casket is printed with clear and svery
type upon the finest white paper. The illus
trations are NOT SURPASSED BY THOSE OF aNYPE-
oRtpICaL at home or abroad and beside the mon
THY stVelsuaruv qngseng!AIIell Of colored plate
fashions has lately been added. The style Of
these embellishments is uneqnalled, and they ar
always accompanied with an apt sketch. N
| wood cuts disgrace the work; whatever appears
| in the Casket is of the first order of the art.
| LITERARY CHARACTER
The literary character of the Casket is well
known. 1t is wholly original of the highast
order, and sustained by WRITER'S OE THE
FIRST RANK. Essays, Tales Sketches, and
| Travels, compose its prominent prose articles;
while the poetry is equaed by that of no other
magazine Of like character. The variety fol
which the Casket is celebrated, shall suffer nc
dimnution; but on the contrary, every .exertiOr
shall be made to increase its interest
SEVERAL ROMANCES OF THE REVOL'
UTION have already appeared, and others shal
follow in the course of the volume, presenting
when finished, complete picture olthe manner
and a historical account of the great battles a
! that time. Thus, the Casket, instead of bein
filled with sickly sentimentaites, aims at tru
E delineation Of human nature in every variety q

"CHANGE, CHANGE! CHANGE!"

"CHANGE, CHANGE! CHANGE"
The result Of the August elections in
this State furnish conclusive evidence
that the Federal cry OF "chauge" has
been fully verified. We have changed
the Senate from Federal ma Jjorily Of
|, to a Democratic majority Of H.
The House of Representatives has been
changed from a Federal majority of |,
to Democratic majority of at least 10,
and probably IL. The popular vote has
been changed from majority Of 1000
to a majority of from 1000 to 5000 for
Democracy. Surely the cry is 'chadge!"
Since our last paper we have received
some additional returns which show a
clear gain in the popular vote OF 1000
IN the counties named, making 5000
gain in the popular vote since the Co
Vernor's election in 1888. The cOun-
ties 10 be heard from will probably in
crease our majOrities l OF 1000 votes.
