Our Relations uih Engiand.-We copy from
Sir Robert Peel's speech at Tamworh the follow
ing remarks in relation to the United States. He
is considered by the conservatives IN England, as
the Premier elect" and therefore his remarks
command the more attention.
"Let lis 90 northward on the same continent.
One Of the best consumers we have for our man
uiactures is the United States of America a coun-
try with which trust we shall long maintain the
intimate relationship of friendship and peace.
(Great cheers.) And, gentlemen, do hope that
neither country-that or this will he mad e.
nough to quarrel about q boundary line, when
peace can be preserved without deriment to the
honor of either-for the preselv wilton OF our ma.
tonal honor should be always the first considera-
ton. And do farther hope that the good sense
and moderation of both countries will avert any
quarrel between the two nations who boast of n
common origin, who speak the same language,
and between whom any collision could not take
place without materially affecting the warm, the
best interests Of humanity all the over the Globe

In addition TO the above quotation we give the
following extract from high authority, Sir Fran
els Head, the Ex-Governor of Canada. In a
communication published in The London Times,
he complains Of the manner in which Captain
Drew and other officers of the expedition against
the Caroline have been treated by the British Go
vernment He knows those who served in the
expedition well, and calls them "gallant band
In speaking of the arrest of Mcleod in this coun-
try he says:
Gas soon as his (McLeods) arrest was known
in this country, both Capt. Drew and ], lost not
moment in apprisng the Brtsh) Secretary OF
State, that from our personal knowledge could
certify Mr.. Nc Leod had not belonged to the party
that had captured the Caroline"

Mr.. McLeod.- A number of journals have stat
ed confidently that appeal would he taken from
the recent decision OF The Supreme Court, in the
Court of Errors. This we believe is an error.
1t is rot, we understand, intended by the counsel
.oi Mcleod to move foran appeal but 10 bring the
case to trial as soon as may be, probably IN this
county, In accordance we lean with the express
ed wish of the prisoner. The argument OF the
Supreme Court is deemed to have settled conclu-
sively the legal points in the controversy; and
the hope of obtaining reversal of its decision by
all appeal TO the Court of Errors is not, we be =
lieve, INDUCED by any body. Mcleod Is now in
charge Of the Sheriff of this county, in whose
custody he will probably remain until his trial,
which we learn lie is anxious should take place as
soon possible, being entirely confident, ms he
asserts, OF his ability 10 furnish the most conclu-
sve proof that he had no participation in the out
rage for which he stands indicted.
Since writing the above, we have learned that
the Supreme Court, on application of McLeod's
counsel, have granted an order changing the We
nue. of his trial TO this country. 1t will take place
in September next Oneida Observer.

MR.. JEFFERSON AND AN U. s. BANK.


We took occasion, not long since, to give pub
lcity to the views of Mr.. jefferson in reference to
an United States Bank. We are now told by the
National lnelligencer that this opinion and that
from the same source, vindica,ing Mr.. Madison
from censure on account of his signature to the
bank bill il 1916, is likely to have much influence
with those sturdy polli ians who repose implicit
confidence IN his opinions, much indeed, says
The lnielIigencer that the fact of his having ut
tered an opinion favorable to the course Of Mr.
| Madison Is questioned by those who have nothing
but their own Incredibly to oppose it, well as
10y those who doubt it because its supposed incon-
sstcncy with opinions expressed by Mr.. Jefler
son ut other times. Writer'S in the Inquirer show
| great anxiety to wa rd off lhs force Of this new
Testimony TO the indispeDsibiIitv Of n National
Bank fiscal agent The following from the
editors gives the most unqnestionable evidence Of
The fact >
| We have stated fact, on authority on which entire
reliance may he placed, viz that when Mr.. hladi-
| sons signature OF The Bank hill of 1916 WINS con-
demned in conversation in his presence, Mr. Jeff
| erson with great emphasis vindicated Mr.. Madison,
and said that the General Government must have
"A Bank long rs the States were suffered to have
them, for that the General Government could not
get nong without one.'
We are now enabled to present evidence of
naiure to satisfy every reasonable mind, that Mr.
Jefferson did, three years nj least before Mr. Mad
ison's signature to the Bank bill declare the con-
sti,uticnay of Il Bank ofthe United States to be
a settled question: by adjudication of Congress,
the Judiciary, and the people, TO WHICH HE WAS
WILLING TO YIELD HIS ow OPINION ON THE SUBJ
IJECT.
The writers 1.-THE suIjoined letters are most re-
spectacle VirginIans, residents in the adjoining
county to that of MIR Jeffersons residence The
writer of the first letter filled many honorable sta
iionS, and was on intimate terms with the sage Of
| Monticello, as his statement shows. That he
made the statement of Mr. Jeflersous opinion in
Ire lie time Of that eminent man, shortly after the
conversation to which he refers happened and
when the parties present might hive conlradicted
it, is proved by The second of the suboired let
Iers. The high character Of the writer of the
first letter, who has long ceased to have any thing
to do with public affairs, is, however, of ITSELF
sufficient guarantee Of its veracity. writer
is in opposition to the present ruling party, has no
inducenent TO favor its views, and gives his testi-
mony when called upon, purely out Of regard to
truth. The reader will perceive how powerfully
this testimony is comoborated by Mr. Jefferson s
subsequent vindication of Mr.. Madison's sigma
ture to the bank bin.

| The Remains Of President Hi rison The last
sad offices OF respect and affection for the late
ilius,rlous Hanson, were paid by his friends
and nelghbors, on the 9TH ins on occasion of the
entombment of his remains at North Bend. The
following brief particulars we copy from the Bos-
ton Transcript:
The ceremonies were conducted with all due
solemnity and propriety. The funeral train, the
hearse the reversed arms of the military and the

that little band Of some thirty or forty who
marched close 10 the body of their old command

the severe, suffering but brilliant campaigns of
1912 aud 1913, had followed the living General

nyng his remains 10 their last resting place, and
very soon 10 be themselves followed, one hy one
