HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
Latest from the boundary Tremendous Excite
menh--We have only time TO copy the following
highly interesting intelligence from the Woodstock
IN. By Telegraph. This intelligence comes fiom
the immediate vicinity of the disputed territory.
The same paper states that Major General Sir Jer-
emiah Dckerson, X. C. b. Commander of the for
ces and Staff, accompanied by Col Bazalgarte, @.
M. G. had arrived at Woodstock, and proceeded
Immediately to Grand Falls.
awe are DESTROYS of drawing public attention to
the excitement that prevails in the neighborhood
OF the Boundary line, in consequence OF the pro-
ceedings of the American parry of exploration We
have been Informed that they are running new
line east of the OLD boundary, cutting down and
leaving space Of from FORTY to eighty feet wide,
and marking the "United States boundary Line
The angle formed by this NEW direction of the
line is said be so great that several extensive
clearngs belonging to our farmers in the back set.
Elements have been taken in and included as Amer
losing from so to 100 acres, and one in part ocular,
we have been informed, has been entirely incud-
ed in the State of Maine, and idea held out that
those persons must become American Subjects,
which has caused an unusual degree of excite
ment.
We are aware that these acts of an exploring
patty not binding, but we look at the uIterior
advantages that our neghbors will endeavor 10
Of
The probability is that some years will elapse be
fore final settlement of the question takes place
In the meantime the marks of the old line will be-
come defsced; and when joint Commissioners
from their respective Governments meet for the f.
nal adjustment of this perpiexng question, we
shall be told here is the boundary that you assisted
TO and estabiish-here is the limit that you
yourselves have assigned to New Brunswick. BY
this means we shall be overreached as on former
occasions. Apart from this view Of The matter I'VE
do think that il is absolutely necessary that some
thing should be done TO allay the excitement. We
shall not be surprised TO hear OF collision taking
place
Attempts have been made already made TO later
fere and prevent the commiss toner's from proceed
ing. We have reason TO think that before they
reach the ST. John they will be obliged to desis..
If the line be pursued the angle on
which il is started, before they reach the ST. Law
renee, whittier understand they intend running,
there is to believe that the commissio M rs
will have carried il three or four miles farther to
the eastward than anticipated.
We should be sorry 10 hear of any obstruction
being offered to any party endeavoiing to afford
such information as might lead to settlement of
this 'bone OF contention, yet under all crcumstan-
ces, do not blame farmers for expressing
their indignation at su CHI unwarrantable proceed
ings. We do no find tant with the commission
ers for endeavoring to throw some light upon this
subject; let them txplore any where Though the
province but what right have they 10 run line of
their own construction, and mark il as the BounGa
ry of the United State I'VE can tell our neighbors
that our folks have seen SO much chicanery practis
ed on former occasions, that they will not submit
to il any longer.
