THE BOUNDARY QUESTION SETTLED
II affords US great satisfaction to be able
10 announce to our readers that the ques.
ton relative 10 the boundary between the
English possessions in North America and
the Stale of Maine has been finally settled,
all the Commissioners agreeing. Thus is
removed bone OF contention between the
two countries and we hope all cur diff
culties with England may be as amicably
settled. In rela,ion to this subject tie Ia
;elllgencer remarks:
THE NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.
Oar paragraph in Saturdays paper, re.
speeding the Boundary Negotiation, turns
out 10 have been we'll founded. II is now
generally known that all the Commission.
crs from the two States interested in II
have signliied their assent to the iec pro.
posed. If no untorseca or unexpected DIFF.
ficulty should arise, this very importan,
transaction will ere long receive It's COM
Plcuon What the ltne agreed On is, or
what are Its terms or conditions, VIC have
not yet learnt. We take ii for granted
that all these are fair and honorable and
us they are satisfactory 10 the parties prin.
cipaily concerned, we doubt not they will
prove equally so to the country. And
mos, sincerely do we congratulate our
country on the settlement Of controversy
Of, We may say, ffy years duTatioa-u
controversy which has ever threatened TO
involve the country 10 the calamiiies Of
war.
Al those who have aborod successfully
TO bring about such result deserve the
unstinied thanks Of The country. The set
Element ofthis aud other interesting ques.
lions, which we trust will be satisfactorily
adjusted, will be an event equally honora.
BILE and fortunate to the Executive admin.
isiration. We hear from all sides, and it
gives US pleasure to repeat IT, that the
President has manifested IA sincere desire
to arrange the questions in difference be-
tween the United States and England IN q
manner honorable and satisfactory. And
VIC checrlolly use this occasion 10 say, that
while We have been obliged 10 express our
disapprobation Of other important acts Of
the present Chief Magistrate, We know
nothing which we do mol approve in his
conduo, Of our Foreign Relations. On
these subjects, the general tone and char.
ac,cr Of the Executive messages 10 Con.
gtcss, and other public communications,
have been patriotic, dgniied, and well
considered We might add, too, that
looking to some Of the principle missions
abroad, we do not know when they have
boon fillcd-certainly not for long time
past by incumbents more useful and hon
orable to the nation. We most sincerely
hope that the Administration may enjoy
the enyiable distinction of putting at rest
difficulties which have so long existed, and
which at times seemed TO threaten the gen.
eral peace.
The Commissioners TO arrange for
conventional line, were, on The part of
Maine, Edward kavanage, Edward Kent,
n. Z. PrcbIe, and John Olis; on the pant
of Massachusetts, Abbot, Lawrence, John
Mills, and Charles Allen. These most re-
spectacle gentleman, high in the confidence
OF their respective States, appointed with.
on, reference to political parties, and con.
fined to none, will, we are convinced, be
found 10 have executed the trust rcposed in
them in the most desirable and honorable
manner.
We know nothing of the particular pro-
cecdngs which have taken place IN this
negotiation since the publication otthe let
ter OF the Secretary of State to the Gov
cinors Of Maine aud Massachusetts,, in May
last. Tho business, as we then felt and
said, was well begun, though we hcslIaled
to indulge ia any very sangulne hopes OF
bringing so many different interests to a.
gree. That they have agreed, is credita.
bic alike to the patriotism and good sense
of all parties.
The States interested deserve eminent
