ened their military means within the dis

BRITISH POSSESSIONS IN INDIA

The existing troubles with China may,
or may not, lead to a long and costly war;
but it is certain that Russia looks earnestly
at every difficulty which may break out
in the East as opening a prospect for I'M
dcrmining the British power in India.
The war now prosecuting against Circas-
sia, and the assemblage of a formidable
Russian squadron in the Black Sea, all
tend to the furtherance of the great object
which Russia has so much at heart. In
deed it may be said-and it is a singular
fact-that war only exists in the East,
and great events may grow out of the
troubles in India, Egypt and Turkey.
The power of England in India is too
formidable to be easily endangered. 1t
is a most remarkable increase of power,
influence, and territorial limits springing
up, it may be said, from a mere CONNER
cial company. We hear the glory of
England frequently spoken of, but the
little island is a very small portion of that
glory-thc gigantic power is in India.
The British Empire in the East Indies
now includes one hundred millions of peo-
pie, and extends over 100000 square
miles of all climates, from the SHOWS on
the mountains of the Gaut and Himme-
laya, to the burning sands Of fIindoostan,
and twelve hundred miles of the naviga-
Bile rivers Indus, Junga, Sutledgc, Gauges
and Bramapootia, with large cities Calcut-
ia, Delhi, Benares, Lucno, Poona, Madras,
and Bombay. They hold the Great
Mogul and all the %rcigning princes as
their captives, and can bring into the field
an army full as large as Russia. Europe
cannot, by a combined effort, dislodge
England from her vast possessions in the
East Indies and as to the Chinese war,
it is evident that if it is protracted, it will
be merely to sea fights with the junks and
coasters.

CLAY, SCOTT, AND HARRISON

1t has been a mortifying circumstance
and not more Notifying than dlsas-
trous to the best interests of the country
that, with an actual majority of the
people with them, the wings have, from
time to time, suffered themselves to be
defeated, from mere want of concert.
They have always had numerical strength,
but have suffered themselves to be divided
on local questions, and thus cut up in de-
tail, when, united, nothing could have
resisted them. And even when the Har-
risburgh Convention met, how few among
us, in view of the past, could look with
confidence to the future. There was
CLAY, with his old and long tried friends,
linked to his cause, as with hooks of
steel, and pointing to a catalogue of public
services; HARRISON, with an army of
old soldiers clinging to his cause, and
backed by the almost entire population of
the new states, proclaiming, "this is the
man whom we delight to honor;" and
lastly, Scorr, with his warm-heartcd, ar
dent, youthful fricnds-inspired with all
the enthusiasm of a first love, and an OBJ
ject every way worthy their affections.
How were these conflicting claims to be
disposed of, in reference to personal and
local considerations They could not
be so adjusted (; nor did the convention
attempt it. That august assemblagc
looked not to men, but to measures,
They were witnesses of the distress that
afflicted the country, and of the detcrmin-
alton of the people to rid themselves of the
men who had brought these calamities
upon us. 1t was for them to select the
instrument for its accomplishment. They
did so. The choice fell upon HARRISON
hot, that the convention slowed Casa

THE NEW-JERSEY QUESTION.
Yesterdays mail brought us the ex-
pected intelligence of the admission ofthe
Van Buren, Prctcnders to their seats in
the Housed Representatives. This de-
%cision, subsersive as it is OF every prin-
ciple and precedent, was to have been
expected from a body which for tame
servility to Executive dictation-for wan
ton trlfing with the Peoples interests
for %riotous, disordcrly and disgraceiul
conducts, and will, We trust, long re-
main without a parallel in the annals of
our National Legislature. While the re-
collection of all the facts connected with
this question is still fresh in the minds of
our readers, let us r%ecapitulatc the sue
c%essive steps taken by the Federal
trainbands in the disfranchisement and
degradation of the sovereign State ofNew
Jersey.
AT the opening of the present session
two sets of claimants for the representa-
ton of New Jersey presented themselves
to the lower House Of Congress. The
Wings held the usual certificates of cleo
ton, and claimed moreover to have re-
ceived "A majority of the legal votes. The
Loco-Focos interposcd a similar claim,
though lacking the same evidence, in be-
half oftheirright. Heretofore it has been
the invariable rule to admit the member
or members holding the certificates, the
prima tacie evidence of election, to seats
in the House, and then, if there were 9TH
er% claimants, the subject was referred to
the appropriate committee for invcstiga-
ton, and was eventually passed upon
by the House. Thus, however doubtful
might be the question between the two
rival claimants, the interests ofthcir CON
stituents were carefully protected, and
their right to be represented by one or the
other candidate recognized and admitted
at once. But in the New jersey case the
~ lCIuS VI tlC i Cutlul administration uc-
parted from this %salutary principle, ant
declared that neither set of claimants
should take their seats, but that the whole
subject should be referred at nice to the
committee on elections. The first obvi
!. Gus evil of this course was to overthrow
a precedent heretofore invariably adher
ed to-the second, to deprive the Stat,
f Of New Jersey (for more than tire,
months, as it proved, } offive-sixths fifth
representation guaranteed to her by Con
siitution and Laws of the United States
Here then was the first great wrong.
1t was to have been expected, after tn
subject had been committed to the Com
/, mittee on Elections, that the House woul
not again have interfcred in the bushes
until the Committee had expressed
readiness to report. The result, however
c proved that any expectations tounde
upon right or justice were little like to b

Nix. FoRsyTH TO Mr.. Fox.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

DTHI y II lhT..Nl VI
Washington, March 6, lsiO.
BY the directions of the President, the
undersigned, Secretary of State of the
United States, communicates to MIR. Fox,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plen-
ipotentiary of Great Britain, the enclosed
copy of IA report made to the Governor of
the State of Maine, by the agent, COM
missioncd on the part of the authorities
of that State, to ascertain the precise
character and extent of the occupation of
parts of the disputed territory by troops
of her Britannia Majesty, and of the
buildings and other public works con-
structed for their use and accommodation.
By that report, and the three deposit
tons which the undersigned informally
communicated to Mr.. Fox a few days
since, he will perceive that there must be
some extraordinary misrepresentation on
his part of the facts in relation to the oc-
cupation by British troops of portions OF
the disputed territory. The statements
contained in these documents, and that
given by Mr.. Fox, in his note of the Goth
of January last, exhibited a striking dis
crcpancy as to the number of troops now
in the territory, as compared with those
who were in it when the arrangement be-
tween Governor Fairfield and Licutenan,
Governor Harvey was agreed upon !; and
also as to the present and former state of
the buildings there. The extensive ac-
commodations prepared and preparing, a,
an old and at new stations, the works
finished, and in the course reconstruction.
on the land and on the water, are not in
harmony with the assurance the only OBJ.
joct is the preservation of ii few unimpor'
tant buildings and store houses for tn,
temporary protection of the number o
troops her Majesty's ordinary service car
require to pass on tho road from New
Brunswick to Canada.
The undersigned will abstain from any
remarks upon these contradictory state.
ments, until Mr.. Fox, shall have had al
opportunity to obtain the means of fully
explaining them. How essential it is tina
this should be promptly done, and tina
the steps, necessary to a faithful obscr

Locofoco majority there for several years
has varied fromtwo to five hundred.-The
