hE Was Nor PosoNEp.-A most horrible
story has went the rounds Of the newspapers,
to the effect ,ha, General Harrlsou had come
to his death by the administration Of poison at
the handsofsome one of hls political enemies.
The Infamous imPutation originated IN New
England Review, but tho charge was 80 mon.
slrous, yet ridIculous that we thought il un-
worthy Of notice, other than Of supreme con-
tempt, The Cincinnati Republican has taken
up The mater, and on The authority OF the very
committee who are said 10 have discovered
marks Of poison on the corpse, sets the whole
matter concuslvely at rest. The Republican
says-"The glass case was not broken-the
head was not swollen nor was there any 9th
or unnatural appearance presented. There was
There was not the slightesl suspicion or init
nation OF the kind stated above, by single
one of the committee, nor by any other per-

From the Morning Chronicle.
A considerable portion Of our papsr to-day
is occupied with the trial Of Mcleod, an out
line of which appeared in second edition Of
Ssu:day's Chronicle. The result Of this trial
mini, have been easily anticipated from tho
nroceedipgs of the three first days, published
and commented upon in the Chronicle las!
week. The manner, however, IN which the
investigation has been conauc ed Ia highly Gre
dnabe TO the character Of the judicial lrlbu-
malls Of America. Had the case been one Qil5c-
ting an American subject in England, and lri-
able at one Of our assIzsS, We could not nave
wished the mere formal proceedings to have
passed of other wise than theysdId at Utica.
The question Of McLeod's "IrIabIllIy" at
all. is, however, another matter, ana one up
on which, if we are TO credit the tory press,
Lord Aberdeen is determined 10 make a stand,
in opposition 10 the decision OF the Supreme
Court of New York. Is this one OF The ques-
,lons his Lordshp intends to submI! to The
arbi alton oil Lou. PhluPPel On Friday last
we intnnaled our belief that the British Gov
ernmsnt, intended 10 have recourse to some
such method Of al once complImentIOg doubt
ful ally aud compromising question OF nation
al interest. The Morning Herald, usually
we'll informed upon questions OF Tory foreign
policy, says on Saturday:
1--WE have reason to believe that II any Sc
riou. difference should arise between Great
Britain and the Uaed States Of America, re-
ls,Iys to the trial ofMcLeod, the Northeastern
Boundary, or any other question pending be-
tween both countries, our Government has a
greed to accept the mediation oil France, whIch
mediation has been offered as a guarantee OF
peace and good will between the French and
English Cabinets"
Relatively to tho trial Of Mcleod, no quss-
lion 10 likely 10 arise between EngIand and
America. The question of International la"
involved in the Caroline affair is not question
for arbitration. We might as we'll appeal 10
Louis Philippe from decision OF the Queens
Bench. 1t 10 mere question OF law, (upon The
facts of The case there can be no doubt on
which all the legal advisers of The Grown have
given decided opinion.
As to making the boundary question one of
arbitration, /, is the meress dslusIon 10 suppose
that this would "selte" it. Why, it has been
arbitrated upon already. America refuses to
be bound by the decision of the Klngof Hol-
land. What guarantee has Lord Aberdeen
that America will be bound by the decision of
Louis Philippe an arbitrator such as England
ought to accept upon such question:
We cshnot yet believe that this is 10 be the
first step Of Lord Aberdeen's foreign policy.

PREsIDEST TYLER AND TIE RIorERs. - The
kindly disposition aud humane feelings of Pre-
sldent Tyler, have induced him 10 do do one
act which we do not altogether approve. lie
has ordered uolIe proseqU IN the case of 'be
wretches who assAiled The White House and
insulied the President, on account Of hls veto
Of The Fiscal Bank, near the close of the last
session of Congress. 1t is all well enough
70 be "lmbued with a large share of The milk
OF human klndness,," but the pouring out of
the whole pail 'f human sympathy appears
like an exIravagant waste of mercy upoa
wretches who do not deserve commiseration.
"Io err is human-to forgive divine" On
this principle President Tyler has acted. HE
liberal sentiments are worthy of commerda-
lion, but we question tee policy Of not temper
ing mercy with justice. Read the Presidents
letter.
