THE BoRDER TRoUBIES. Sc.

The following remarks are from the pen OF the
very able writer of the money articles n the New
\ ORR Herald - The outrage on the border has
created good deal OF excitement, occurring II
does at tins important moment, when the Mcleod
affair l. approaching to Crisis. 1t Is indicative OF
the existence OF state Of feeling the borders that
IS calculated to create the greatest alarm IN the
minds OF capitalists. Tie policy Of the present
head OF the state department is calculated,
by the supineness and disposition to recede,
both to promote the audacity Of the Canadians and
10 induce higher aud more peremtOry tone on the
part of the British government. The policy OF the
new ministry Is undoubtedly to a speedy settlement,
and they VIII push II to the utmost. At the same
moment they receive almost a crInglng document
from the state department, while the organs OF the
dominant party are denying the right OF New York
To act size does. The same packet carries them
the disg-acefu letter of Mr.. Ewing, attacking his
chlef magistrate in abusive terms, giving proof OF
the utter dissolution Of the late victorious party
and exposing weakness and inctficency Oh the
part OF the federal government which deprlves the
nation OF al scmbance OF that dignity, with
out which negotiation OF the delicate nature oil
that pending cannot be successfully conducted -
Hitherto these negotiations have been conducted by
the Secretary OF State IN intended to pur-
chase present peace at the expense Of permanent
insecurity. The effect upon public securities is We.
ry disastrous, contrary 10 doubt 10 that intended.

Messrs. Chapmans: have sent you - Tor ore

a constant subscriber. We are pleased with the APP
pearance of yonr paper. We are aware that We
are better qualified TO criticse the ont than the

criticised by shoemaker. We would say, that the
best department of your paper. Is the moral 'nfu-
cnce of IL politics.
We are not advocates Of the present humbugs-
the mammoth sheets or Yankee Notions. Some ed
itor- seem to think. that the country have no
thing TO do bat 10 read or they would Tot furnish

for good deal of grog in reply to the question

Courer!' Il tell you exactly; 1t Is Ike
drinking a whole gallon Of water for one gill OF

Il is vanity in an edior to think he can please
every taste. The epicure has his favurte dish. and
the practical musician plays Test his fayorite AIR.
Besides those mammoth sheets very unwIedly

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas sundry important and weighty
matters, principally growing out OF the
condition Of the revenue IL finances oithe
country, appear to me to call Tor the con-
sideraliou Of Congress at an earlier day
than its next annual session, and thus
form an extraordinary occasion, such as
renders necessary, in my judgment, the
convention Of the two Houses as soon as
may be practicable, do, therefore, by this
nv Proclamation, convene the two Hous.
es Of Congress, to meet in the Capitol, at
the City Of Washington, on the last Mon.
day, being the thirty-drst day Of May
next. And | require the respective Sen
ators and Representatives then and there
to assemble, in order TO receive such IN
formation respecting the state Of the I'm
ion as may be given 10 them, and TO devise
and adopt such measures as the good OF the
country may seem 10 them, in the exer.
else Of their wisdom and discretion, to
require.
in testimony whereof, have caused the
seal Of the United States TO be hereunto
affixed, and signed the same with my
hand.
Done at the city Of Washington, this
seventeenth day Of March, in the
r.. 81 year Of our Lord one thousand

CHoKISo OFF LAWYER. The best
and most effeclual check ever given TO
verbose pettifogger occurred IN q well
known western city, and is within our
own knowledge as fact. Much against
his will, shrewd, plain spoken straight
forward citizen was called from his busl-
ness and forced upon a jury 20 pronounce
verdict over some trial poiEt OF litigation.
He sat some time patiently until he got
the merits Of the case and saw that tho
matter was just worth the toss Of red
cent, and far worthier Of being so decided
than thrust into court of justice. Vet
a pedantic looking small lawyer got up
having an ostentations display Of law
books before him, and giving every indi-
cation that he was going TO commence q
prolrx fanfaronade, kind Of forensic ora
tory for which he was somewhat celebra-
ted among the different justices courts and
other bars Of the place. After several
pompous hens and hGHs, he commcncr
