the details, which are most disgraceful. They are
actually giving up every thing that has been con-

of territory. The United States cede all north
of the st. Johns River, and Great Britain to cede
all south of that This is not so. The
United States are, indeed TO cede all north of the
river but Great Britain retains all south of the rv

Maine will be cheated out of their territory, and
Great Britain will obtain consolidation of her pro-

not be finally settled"

his doctrines, and that his periodical is intended
partly vehicle OF Intelligence from the other

The New YoRK CusToN HOUSE, COMMISSION.
A terrible Touring was made by the wing editors,
when Harrison appointed the famous commission,
the result OF whose abors they affirmed, to be
the exposure Of great frauds which, they alleged,
had been perpet.a,ed by democrats in the New York
Custom House. Well, the committee closed their

while at the worst few extravagant expenditures
had been made IN stationery. to the amount of 30
Gu dollars, for the benefit of democratic contract
ors, the other hand the Wing manufacturers,
having a deputy collector in their interest, had
carried immense frauds against the revenue, the
amount of which was indefnie They dug a pit
for democrats, and fell into It themselves. and
their only resource was to declare that their own
commissioners were totally unworthy of belief If
this had been all, it would have been well. But

Mr.. VAN BuREs.-The generous manner IN
which this distinguished individual has been re-
ceived in the West, has reflected on the Western
people the highest credit. 1t has also, Ger.
tanly assured, raised feeling in the breast of Mr..
Van Buren,, much easier imagined than expressed.
The kindness and hospitality extended to him is
characteristic of great people and correspond
ingly great is his gratitude. That. like all other
strangers he surprised. is necessarily inferred
by those familiar with our diggins." That he re-
tires to his farm at Undertook as firm friend to

We fearessly assert and long may he be spared as
living monument of beautiful Institutions
showing how the honest, though poor boy, may, by
persevering industry. claim. ana receive at the
hands of the people, the highest honor which can be
bestowed.
We passed over portion of the route travelled
by Mr.. Van Buren,; and we safe and happy in
saying that every where he has left the same i'm
preston. That impression is too palpsble to need
explanation.
We heard from him wherever he went in Illinois
The Suckers, like the IIoosiers did themselves
great credit. In Missouri and Michigan, he was
enthusiastically received. We saw a person who
present at his reception in Chicago. and he
gave vivid picture Of the great turnout in that
hourishng city. He to leave Chicago on the
9th, and passing through Detroit, expected to be at
Cleveland about the 18Th. Great preparations were
making to receive him at the latter place. Thence
he returns by the shortest route TO his farm.
