THREE GENTLEMEN POSITIVE

TIONIST.

Mr.. Wise has at last defined his po.
silion again. Very good. 1t is difficult
TO determine whether we ought to be
glad or sorry at his still declaring him,
sell Wing. He has done much valua
ble service in the Wing cause: but
while doing it has committed so many
indscre;ions, and done so many abso-
luloly bad things, we were far from sor
ry, though perhaps not quite glad, 10
suppose he had left US lie says Mr..
Tyler is "Om of The question: neither
party tOpH support him." Quite a com
pliment from a brother abstractionsl.
Mr.. Wise, however, has still an abslrac.

abstraction against Mr. Van Buren, -

Monday, the 9Th uIt. MIR Wise address
cd the people Of Northampton, in which
address he distinctly declared, that he
could never co operate politically with
the Loco(ocos; that while in the private
relations of life, there were many o.
them unexceptonable, yet as party
he believed them totally unprincIpIed
and had no confidence whatever in lhell
political integrity - that he was no 'thlrC
party man'-was for no organization o
parties that while he could not supper
Mr.. Clay, having had reason 10 change
his opinions Of that gentleman, yet he
would sustain any other Wing for tht

the opinion that Mr. Clay was equal

As tho Locorocos have been eagerI
pressing their claims to the distinguish

Professor Renwick, who ran the line
from the N. E. angle, along the high

terminus on the Goth October, and re-
turned home by way Of Quebec. The

the treaty.
Capt TaIcot', who ran the westerly
line 10 the N. W. angle, arrived there
n short time previous to Professor Ken
wick's party. The British CommIs-
sioners folLoped directly upon Captain
TalcOt's line to the Highlands. They
have left lor the winter, and will not
again 90 upon it until the spring. The
fact that they were satisfied that Capt
T.'s line is The true one, augurs favora-
bly, tothe early settlement oI the whole
line in our favor. The British officers
on the Temiscouta Lake, went over the
ground and examined some part OF the
survey, on the Highlands, and, 1t is said,
expressed themselves satisfied with the
business Of the American claim. The

result will not be at all agreeable to our
New Brunswick neighbors; who, find

MISSISSIPPI ANTI BOND PAYERS The
determination Of a majority of the peo-
pie Of Mississippi not TO pay their State
bonds, meets with general reprobation,
Even the more reputable Locoloco prints
condemn The anti.bond paying doctrine
as monstrous. No one who will reflect
upon the consequences Of so wanton a
violation Of good faith by Sovereign
State, can offer the slightest apology
for Mississippi. We have seen it STA.
ted in an exchange paper, that the Ohio
Legislature at lis present session will
feel it duty which Ohio owes TO her
creditors, to repudiate by resolution the
perfdy Of the anti bond payers.

THE Fiscal AGENT"

II was well understood at Washington,
before the meeting Of Congress, that
President Tyler intended 10 propose a
"FIscal Agent" in his annual Message.
Of course, his plan has before this date
been officially communicated 10 the Ma.
tional Legislature. That our readers
may not be any longer in the dark. in
regard to this proposed substitute for a
"monster," we make the following ex-
tract from the Washington Correspon-
dence for the New York Express, un-
der date of Nov. 27:
IAN 'inkIing'' of what this Fiscal A.
gent is, has already appeared in three
or four quarters, upon which | am alb
solved from the necessity Of preserving
what otherwise would have been to me
at least, matter Of confidence as | sup
posed 1t is then, no Corporation, 10
begin with. 1t can be repealed at will
| is an issue, next, OF EXchequer bills
for currency, bearing no interest of
course, ard 10 be redeemed IN gold and
silver, or-lhough not by special en-
actment--in the notes of specie paying
banks. 1t is 10 have a head here, Gre
0ted, presume, by the President and
Senate, but moi TO be removed by the
President al will, with sub heads or a.
gencies in all the States to be appointed
by the head there. What this head ia
to be called, and how constituted, will be
submitted, ! presume in bill drawn in
the Department Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury with other matters relating
to buying and selling Bills of Exchange,
deposits, &c, &c, All this is but the
merest skeleton Of the scheme, but it is
the basis OF it, nevertheless. The a.
mount Of issue is moi 10 be over twenty
millions
Such fiscal agency as this, after it
feels lis way, will, no doubt, do much 10.
wards creating national currency, for
the want Of which we suffer so much. Re.
ceived at the Custom House and by
The Post Offices, it will be at par. To
preVen; concentrated run upon one Of
the agencies, there will be some regu-
ations similar to that of the branches
Of the late United States Bank--for a
note payable in Missouri will be paid
there-only tbore-though it will be
received every where for public dues.

distribution Act.

Among the duties devolVing upon the
Ohio Legislature now in session, one of
the most important will be, the invest
ment Of that portion Of the proceeds Of
sales OF Public Lands, which is allotted
10 this State by a late Act Of Congress.
The more rabid Locofocos have, Of late,
suggested and urged the propriety Of
its rejection by our Legislature. The
same spirit prevails among the Locoro-
cos elsewhere In his recent Message,
the Governor of South Carolina ventures
to hope, that "the epirit Of REFORM"
eVinced by the Fall elections, "wiiI pre-
vent the spoiIs and pIunder of this sys
tom from soiIing the Treasury, or con.
Eliminating the Golfers OF single Slate"!
Governor Corwin's Message, we venture
to predict, will teach very different
doctrine; and we very much doubt whe.
ther half dozen Locofoco members OF
our Legislature will dare favor the re-
Jection Of this munifcent fund, WHICH is
so Justly due to the State, and which is
now rendered 10 her by the Act Of Con.
gress. One Of the Representatives Of
this district (Matlhew Alkinson) we
know, before the election, voluntarily
pledged himself upon this subject. lie
will, if he redeem his pledge, 60 for ap
proprioting Ohio's portion Of this fund
10 the payment Of the State debt. 1t
may be that there are, in our Legisla-
ture, few anti Tariff members, who
like the Governor Of South Carolina,
hate protective duties, and desire TO re-,
duce the wages Of labor in the Free
States 10 level with the expense Of
Slaue labor, and who would reduce the
working men Of the United States 10 the
condition Of the paupers Of England. But
these will form q mere corporal'S guard

this subject-even in body decidedly

fund at the present Session. The ma
