The gentleman politicians who flatter them
selves that the Wing party is falling to pieces,
reckon without their host. The detection of
one man, or a dozen men, cannot effect that
object. Recent events have had the tendency OF
eliciting public sentiment and all our accounts
concur in representing the Wings of the coun-
try as steadfast and indomitable. They banded
together originally for the public good-they
will not be dissolved to crafty the selfish am.
bition of political intrignants and presidential
aspirants.-Richmond Wing.

GEORGE II. PECK, Esq. has been admitted
TO the Bar of Chittenden County Court, as a
practising Attorney.

THE MAINE BoUNpARY.-Trouble is again
anticipated on the disputed territory. A year
since, NJ. Featherstonhaugh and Captain Nudge
on behalf Of the British Government, re-survey-
ed this 'debatable land" and published the re-
suit of their explorations, which went of course,
TO establish the Justice of the British claim
No opposition Of any sort was offered to the
British Commissioners by the American resi-
dents, on or near the disputed territory. Now,
however, that the American Commissioners are
busy making their examinations, the New Brun-
swick people have taken it into their heads that
these er-parte surveys arc exceedingly unfair,
and are endeavoring by hook or by crook, to
compel our Commissioners to desist. We can
conceive of but one motive for such disreputable
conduct, and that is, the fear tina. the result OF
their examinations will prove (what is already
more than suspected,) the gross inaccuracy OF
MI Featherstonhaugh's report, and will cstab-
llsh beyond dispute the correctness of the line
claimed by the American Government. lfsome
such apprehension were not entertained, there
could be no reason why the British resident,
should not extend to the American Commission
ers every facility for a fair and full examination
of the different boundary lines.
THE ARoosrooK BouNpARy.-Two companies O
the United States troops have been stationed at tn
Aroostook and Fish river, by order of the government
thus relieving the state OF Maine from the heav
hmrthen OF sustaining a civil posse at those station;
ms IS an important movement, It beng the frs
time that any United States force has entered upo
what the British call the DIsPuTEp TrRRIToRY.-

FIGHT AND DEATH OF TWO BuL1s.-One
day last week, the gate having been incautious-
ly left open, two bulls, a large and a small one,
met in the yard of the Eastman Ferry house.
This yard is OIL the edge of the Mersey, and on
one side Of it are PERCEPTIONS rocks. The bulls
rushed at each other, and a fierce battle ensued,
The small bull had the worst of the fight. He
was thrust over the edge of the precipice, &c
which he chung by his f%ore-feet. The large bull
seeing his head just over the edge OF the rocks,
rushed at him once more. lIeadlong he plung.
ed over the precipicc and was killed instantly OF
the rocks beneath; the other falling on his hindel
parts, escaped death from the fall only TO receive
it from the knife of the butcher.-London paper

RrprIElp Factory BrRNT.-We are panied to heal
that the woollen factory Redfeld, Maine, was con.
sumed by fire on Friday morning, August 18th,
about four o'clock, together with a large quantity of
wool, owned in part by the company, and partly by
farmers in the vicinity. The total loss is estimated
at nearly $50, 900. The cause of the fire is not knowr
The factory had been insured, bu, the insurance pol
icy had expired a week or two before the fire.
There is no loss ofproperty more TO be regretted
than that of wooden factories. We have but few o
them we ought to have more to work up our owl
wool, and to multiply our sheep. This is the way t.
get ca, I al. This is the way o raise the value of iaims
| They always rise greatly in valuein the neighborhooC
of manufacturing villages, And when a factory il
burnt down, we regret it as a public loss.-kennebe,

u We are prouder than ever of the Wing
party and its Statesmen in Congress. Sorely
disappointed and grieved as the great mass of
us have beer in The failure of our long cherish
ed hopes of a wise and bcneficeut adjustment of
the Currency disorders, there has been no un-
wise outbreak of passion, no public expression
OF feeling that need be regarded with regret or
rcproach. If President Tyler had vetoed the
bill Repeating the Sub-Treasury, he would not
have more completely surprised the great mass
OF his supporters, yet what has been their
course! Now and then a donkey has exhibited
himself in some unwise and Incorporate antics
cursing railing, swearing never to vote again,
&c. but far otherwise has been the course OF the
great majority. Their bearing has been calm,
dignified, earnest, as becomes Frcemen and Pa
triots. They feel regret, but not detection,
much less despair. They feel that they have a
country to love and cherish, no less now than a
month ago. They feel that she has interests to
maintain and they have duties to perform, now
as ever. Ninety-nine out of every hundred Of
them will evince this on every fitting oppor-
tunity.
This prevalent feeling inspires us with add,
tionsl confidence and hope. he signal rebuff
we have lately received will result in good. ]
will soften the asperities Of Party, but depend
the attachment to Country. And we have a be-
ing earnest faith that affairs will take such
turn at Washington, that, before a year ha,
elapsed, we shall see and realize that all hal
been for the best. Let us calmly, hopeful,
observe what a year may bring forth. Time
Faith, Energy,-but, above all,--UNIoN--wil
yet secure to our Country those blessings whicl
were Justly expected from a Wing Administra
tion.-LQg Cabin.
