The Main Boundary.-This question,
which has for long time been subject
Of controversy. has assumed threatening
aspect, and there is reason TO suppose.
that unless some satisfactory arrange
nlents are soon made, that war may he
expected between the United States and
England. After space of some forty
years. of occasional negotiation, one war,
three or four treaties, Que or two iueGect-
ual attempts to run a line, and one arb-
tration by a third power, The dispute re-
mains as far from an adjustment is ever,
and seems likely, TO be the cause of pres
enl difficulties, and not i'nprobably of
war between The Two countries.
The British Presses, generally, abound
in articles Of the most fragrant abuse of
our country. In them, we are told that
the citizens of The U. S. cannot perpetuale
100 base, too illegal, too barbarous, or TOO
atrocious an act, upon the rights aud Jude
pendcncc of foreign nations, without be-
ing approved of by the Federal Govern.
mcn,. They declare ii great misfortune
to be in anywise connected with so selfish
and unprincipled Government. The
people Of the Uuited States are con-
dcmned "en mosse," as guilty Of fnso'eut
manners, ignorant pretensions, hollow
friendships. and grasping policy.
Now We would ask, in all sincerity, if
a people thus vilifed and outraged day
after day, and year after year, can rea-
sonaby be expected to cherish good will
towards their delarmers, or whether ii is
possible for sentiments Of regard aud friend
ship, to the generated by such evidences
as English writer's put forth towards US,
in the name of all their coun'rymeu.
In the maltefof this disputed territory,
the one sided prupensiles of our anlago-
nists in The controversy, are splcndidy ex
Iibiled. Not writer OH the English side
has been willing to admit, or even to hint
at, the possibility Of our people and Gov

lion ofrish.
Would it not he more candid, to ina
sinc the existence Of some honesty in our
proceedings! Even supposng US to be
wrong, in our view Of the case, and our
construction Of the treaty, it surely is pos
sble thai we are only deceived, not will
lu pervcrters Of The truth; and we can
assure all English writers, subject to The
Government of Her Britanic Majesty,
whether they inhabil the Canadas, or The
Northern Isle, that nnlliug will tend so
forcibly to make US persist in our claim.
at every risk, and every sacrifice, as the.
abuse which is showered upon US. for al
sertins il. From mere question of ma
lional interest. ii becomes. by this process,
question of national right and honor;
and although in matters Of mere interest.
we may he willing TO make concessions, on
points of light and honor, we will welcome
every cost. even to the verge ofruin. before
we will give back one step, which canuot
he taken without disgrace. We sincerely
hope, however, that some accommodation
will soon be effected, which will preserve
the interests and honor of bolh counresN
and restore that harmony aud mutual con-
ilence. which is essential 10 their common
prosperity, and to the wellbeiug of the
whole human race.

against it,
/ feel it my duty 10 bring under con-
sideration the practice which has grown
up in the administration Of the Govern
ment, aud which, am deeply convinced,
ought TO be corrected. ] allude to the
exercise OF the power, which usage, rath-
er than reason, has vested in the Presi.
dents, Of removing inCumbents from Of
fee, in order to substitute others more
in favor with tho dominant party. My
own conduct, in this respect has been
governed by conscientious purpose TO
exercise the removing power, only in
cases OF unfaithfulness or inability, or in
those in which its exercise appeared ne
ceSsary, in order 10 discountenance and
suppress that spirit Of active partisanship
on the part of holders Of office, which not
only withdraws them from the steady
and impartial discharge Of their official
duties, but eXerts an undue and serious
influence over elections, and degrades
the character of the Government itself,
inasmuch as it exhibits the Chief Magi5-
trate, as icing party, through bis agents,
in the secret plots or open workings Of
political parties.
In respect 10 the exercise of this pow
er, nothing should be left to discretion,
which may safely be regulated by law;
and tits of high importance to restrain, as
far as possible, the stimulus of personal
interests in public elections. Consider
ing the great increase which has been
made in public Offices, in the last quar-
ter Of century, and the probability OF
further increase, we incur the hazard of
Witnessing violent political contests, di.
rected too often 10 the single object Of
retaining office, by those who are in, or
obtaining it, by those who are out. Un-
der the influence Of these convictions,
shall cordially concur in any constiiu-
tional measures for regulating, and by
regulating, restraining, the power OF 10.
moval
suggest for your consideration the
propriely Of making, without further de-
lay, some specific application Of the funds
derived under the will of Mr.. Smihson,
of England, for the diffusion Of knowl-
edge; and which have, heretofore, been
vested in public stocks, until such time
as Congress should think proper TO give
them a specific direction Nor will you,
l feel confident, permit any abatement of
the principle of the legacy to be made,
should it turn out that the stocks, in
which the investments have been made,
have undergone depreciation.
In conclusion, | commend TO your
care the interests Of this District, for
which you are the exclusive legislators.
Considering that this city is the residence
Of the Government, and for large part
ofthe year Congress, and, considering
also, the great cost OF the Public Build.
ings, and the propriety of affording them
at all times careful protection. il seems
not unreasonable that Congress should
contribute towards the expense Of an eff,
cent police.

teo on Banks and CdrTency, be instructed
to report, as soon as practicable, Bill for
tho establishment of a State Bank, tcith

In the House, Dec. I3, Mr.. Clarke
offered for adoption the following resOlu.
ton:
Resslucd, That the committee on the
Judiciary be instructed to inquire iato
the expOdiency of introducing bill, to
amend the law in relation to voting at
Elections, so az TO allow any legal voter
to vote for Governor in any County id the
State,--and also TO allow any legal voter
to vote for Representatives in Congress
in any Congressional district wherein he.
may be living; and also, to allow any legal
voter to vote IN any township of his coun.
ty, for Senators and Representatives in
the Ohio Legislature, and county Off
GERS, provided, that no such voter shall
be allowed 10 vote more than once at any
such election.
The resolution was rejected, by yeas
l6, nays 50. TIE election law Of the
last session is entirely too good to be pop.
ular with the wings. They would fain
(as this resolution of Mr.. Clarke evinces, J
again open the door to an extensive sys.
tenn of "pipe-laying" in this State. But
the motives of this resolution wero too
glaring 10 meet with the appreciation Of
all the wings. Itmet the fate it deserved.
Mr.. Dunham voted against the passage
of the law, and now, after its passage,
MIR. Clarke desires TO repeal its most
wholesome provisions.
In Senate, Dec. IA Mr.. Thomas from
the committee on conference, in relation
10 postage, reported the following resolu-
ton:

respectively, and on all letters which
members shall deem proper to send mark

CONGRESS.

Pending a resolution in the Senate to
print the Presidents Message, Mr.. Benton
took occasion to express his disapproba.
ton ofPresident Tyler's fiscal agent
Two propositions, in particular, he op.
posed on Constitutional grounds. One
was that ofemitting bills of credit, or is.
suinga treasury currency. Congress,
Che said, had no constitutional authority
to issue paper money, or emit federal
bills Of credit. This power had been ex-
pressly denied to government by the fra.
mers of the Constitution. The other
was 10 authorize the federal
government to deal in and regulate ex-
changes, and to furnish exchange to
Merchants. Mr.. Benton contended that
Congress might as we'll be called on to
furnish that portion of the community en-
gagged in commerce with facilities for
transporting merchandise as to establish
Board with agencies for the purpose of
furnishing the county with exchanges
These, together with other arguments as
'trODg, were briefly urged by Mr.. Ben
on. They certainly appear to US insur.
nOuntable objections. Indeed, the plan
recommended by the President, the de.
ign Ofwhich is to COnCiiate both parties,
leets with little OF no favor from ei.
her.
