the National Intelligencer. OF the guilt Of pre-
cipitating that danger" we wash our hands,
Let II rest with those whose eonsciences will
tell them that they need not US for accusers.
Under the circumstances we have partially
enumerated, unfavorabe 10 healthful delibe-
ration, was not the President justified in desir-
ing postponement7 II strikes US that, when
the noise and clanior Of party fury and violence
have died away, the American people, who do
not IN the mass partake of the passions Of self
ish politicians, will agree that their Chief Ma
glstrale in this view of the matter al least, was
guided by prudent counsels.
To what further extreme the question may be
urged at this session, we cannot divine. We
hope Congress will be satisfied to leave the gen
eral question, without closing up any more Of the
avenues OF hope, till the winter session, when,
as the President sincerely anticipates, some
measure OF finance may be deliberately adopt
ed, promotlve OF the good of our common coun-
try" The temper Of the Message is concilia-
tory, and while the President compliments Con
gress for the mass of useful labor they have per
formed, he submits whether the present differ
ences of opinion should be pressed further al
this time, and whether the peculiarly of his
situation does not entitle him if any hope of
agreement isto be INDUCED to postponement
of this subject TO a more suspicious period for
deliberations" as he :" sincerely desires time for
deep and deliberate reflection
Notwithstanding the subject is narrowed by
the veto of two bills, yet we are not without
hope that there is still room for building up
system which shall be constitutional and perma-
nent, and meet the just wants and expectations
which the county INDUCES, in reference to ma
tional legislation on this question So long as
that hope exists, we shall stand by the Presi-
dent.

NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.

The following is copy of letter received at the
Department Of State
CAMP, NoRTH EASTERN BouNDARY,)
September %, l64l.
Hon DANIEL WEBSTER,
Secretary Of State, Washington.
Sir. My attention having very recently been brought
to several notices in the newspapers of the United
States, of statement contained in the Woodstock
lNew BrunswIck) Telegraph Of the l4th ultimo, in
refeIence to the surveys and explorations pro-
crossing, by order Of the Government of the United
States, under my immediate direction for the purpose
of acquiring information connected with that portion
Of the boundary in dispute between the United States
and Great Britain, which is included between the
monument at the source Of the ST. Croix and the
highlands described in the treaty of 1888 deem it
proper inform the Department of State that SO far
have any knowledge, the article in question is
erroneous in its most important statements.
Neither myself or any of my officers had received
any ntmation of the existence Of excitement in
the vicinity of operations arising from pro-
ceedings, until the matter alluded TO in the
newspapers of our own country, has violence
been offered in opposition to them. On the
rary, have generally met with civil treatment from
Her Britannia Majesty's subjects residing near The
line of exploration, and the same disposition has al
ways been manifested towards them in return,
II is not true that marking the line United
States boundary line us has been stated. The sur
vey being ordered solely for the purpose Of acquiring
information is limited to that object and the prnci-
pal stations, where it has been necessary to mark
them in order that they may hereafter be identified,
have been designated by the words " U. S. exparto
survey y" with the date added
Neither the question of jurisdiction, that of al
legiance the part of the inhabitants heretofore sup
posed to be residents of the Province Of New Bruins
wick, has been nelered with by myself OF any
Of my party, so far as have any knowledge Our
operations have been confined TO the objects pointed
out in my instructions from the Department, and
haye reason whatever to apprehend that obstacles
will be thrown in the way of their fulfment.
] have the honor to be-
Sir, very respectfully,
Your obi serv't

The objection TO the exercise Of the veto upon
acts Of majority Of the Legislature is demo-
ished in the Presidents Message as the Const-
tuition now stands How can the veto be exer-
csed at all unless il be upon acts Of the major
ity /? There can be surely no chance to veto
measures of the minority. No law can be ex-
posed to the veto-none can be passed except
by the ma ority. The Constitution contem-
plates the application of the veto TO acts of the
majority, and to none other
We observe, also, in various quarters strong
COMBINATIONS Of the Veto Power, and dspo-
sition is indicated TO amend the Constitution, by
abolishing the power Now, we would like TO
ask these gentlemen whether circumstances
would not alter the case, and possibly moderat e
their zeal Suppose National Bank had been
chartered by this Congress TO endure twenty
years and imagine few years hence the pre-
sent Opposition to be in power with their prin-
ciples of repedl!. will they undertake to say
that, if bill to repeal the charter of their Bank
were sent to the President, they would then
still cry out against the exercise of the veto
On the contrary, they would hail it as "the
great Conservative principle of our SYSTEM"
and throw up their hats, as though they would
Z" hang them on the horns of the moon,n in APP
plause of the man who should exercise it. 1t
is your bull that cores our OK now; that is all.

CABINS lANCEs.

II was understood llerday, that Mr. EwsO
the Secretary Of ths treasury, and Mr.. Carr
TEsDEN. the Attorney General, had on that day
given notice 10 the President Of the u States Of
their intention TO resign to-day their respective
offices. II was rumoured 1--WE know not with
what truth) that the Secretary of War, and the
Secretary Of the Navy would also resign, and
that the Secretary Of State, and the Postmaster
General would remain steadfast at the pQsis1
which they have filled with SO much honor,
general favor.
IL IS TO US matter Of regret and surprise, es-'
peclally after the conciliatory Message Of the
President, that any members of the Cabinet
should think il their duty TO retire from the Elk
ecutive Administration in which they have been
SO long harmoniously and successfully engaged
The reasons for the step alleged to be taken
have not yet TRANSFERRED
We do not doubt, however, that competent
and efficient gentlemen, will be promptly called
by the President to fill any places that may be
vacated and that the public business will not in
any event suffer any serious Interruption.

MODERATION.

In the ode of Horace to Delius, he tells him,
loud mirth, or immoderate sorrow, inequality of
behavior, either in prosperity or adversely, are
alike ungraceful In man, that is born TO die
Moderation in both circumstances is peculiar TO
generous minds. Men of that sort ever taste
the qualifications and advantages of life, as if
they were liable to part with them, and when
bereft of them, resign them with greatness of
mind which shows they know their value and
duration.
The contempt of political prosperity is GER
tain preparatory for the contempt Of political ad-
versity. Without this the mind of the politi-
clan is, as it were taken suddenly by an UNI
foreseen event; but he that has always been abb
stnent and moderate in his rejoicings and salts
factions, enjoys, in the worst of difficulties, the
reflection, that his anguish is not aggravated
with the comparison of past pleasures, which
upbraid his present condition.
In these times of difficulty and trial, modera-
ton will prove a saving virtue. He who gives
way to Incorporate zeal on the one side or the
other, or takes counsel of his passions, will
some day feel regret and modification.
In our opinion there is enough of honesty, Of
intelligence and of patriotism, in the temper
ana character Or ,i,v ricsiuen, lire be-
nefts Of prudent and useful administration,
and to challenge the favor and support of the
moderate men Of all parties.

THE MISSISSIPPI CREOLE,
CANTON, .uE.
PROSPECTUS
CRESCENT CITY.

THE subscribers propose, on the first
- of October, TO commence the publ
cation of daily newspaper, in New Or
leans, heading the above title. The rea-
sons for this course are numerous and
sufficient, but need not here be stated.
In answer to an inquiry, what will be
the character of the proposed publica-
tions The proprletors answer: that in
relation to partizan questions, religious
'or political, it takes no part whatever
Facts in relation to these, as we'll as other
subjects, will be occasionally stated, but
only as matter of history, or passing re-
mark, without taking sides for one party
or another. The editors are citizens, and
in common with other freemen, will vote
for Wing or Vanites; we suspect the for
mer; just as they please: but their pa
per will be neither one nor the other
1t will, however, to the utmost OF its abb
lity, sustain the public credit, by which.
we mean the credit, of the United States,
our own State, and public institutions,
nor less that Of individuals our own in
cluded.
Passing events, domestic and foreign
will be carefully chronicled, and placed
before our readers in as brief-and com
prehensive manner as possible. All
important transaction occurring in the
city of whatever character, will receive
from US due notice: and sometimes events
not very important, may be rendered
more so by our notice. The proceed
ings of public bodies, whether incorpora
ted or not, will be observed, and full oft
en- become the subjects of remark. The
various amusements of our city, of what
ever name, will be subject upon which
we propose freely, but literally to com
ment.
Commercial and business information
will form a special item of the daily con
tents of our sheet. At least once a week
we propose to give brief but full view
of the state of the market. Arrivals o
ships and steamboats, will be noticed, anc
facts learned by them be speedily com
municated to the public.
As ours is at once a mercantile anc
family paper, nothing ola bitter or angry
character; nothing indicate or Of immo
raj tendency, will be permitted to stair
our pages. Instead Of these, it will BE-
our aim 10 cater for the taste orthe pure
refined and virtuous and especially t
render our columns agreeable and in
structive to the young and to families
where til to be hoped our paper will b.
daily and nightly read by the fair, a,
well as by the staid and worthy anon!
the sterner sex. Let it not be supposed
however, that sprightIiness, wit, and sal
lies OF mlrth and innocent gaiety are t.
form no part of the contents of our Jour
nal. The smile of intelligent and harm
less humor, and the efflorescence ofcbas
tened but Attic-wit, and the pleasantrie,
of social enjoyment, possess too many
charms to be refused admittance to GU,
hearts, and will consequently be eve
welcome to our columns.
In short, we intend to render our httl.
sheet a compendium Of all subjects con
sIstent with rigid purity of morals, from
the soberest lessons of religion and phi
iosophy, to the gayest and most playfu
efforts of fancy and wit.
