The BOUNDARY QuEsTIoS.--Ihc St. Johns
Courier New Brunswick is in considerable trouble
about the boundary suryey-t SEEM. without good
reason. Our Government is making an Parte
but careful survey of the North, Eastern Boundary
claimed by US. with the full assent Of the British
Government. OF course this survey creates no
rights, and confirms 1t is undertaken merely
for the satisfaction of our Government not for
the settlement of the international dispute YET
because Commissioners run the line n trinc
farther East than it has hitherto been run, the
Courier complains that the liege subjects of Her
Majesty are disqRietcd by it, and insists that they
shall not be permitted to run it across the River
St. John any how Now are do not covet foot
of land North or East of that River but we can
imagine no reason for stopping the survey there

D' We publish this morning communication
which has been some days before Us relative to the

comes forward to argue that the Catholic Church
is as liberal, tolerant and hostile to union with
the State other Churches, that another MAY

pcrvcrts our paper into the medium OF attack as

some other advocate of change in our Public
School SYSTEM will be so good to set forth
briefly, calmly, clearly the precise nature and eN-
