following extract rslasiss ssshs Northeastern Boon-
day
1--WE have ssflcisai aviasars that Great Britain
deems tbs ponea Of pnstion Of The territory vest
Of the treaty linz Of the greatest imporenee to her,
feel Also - IL Ne could net resist with violence the
dAaonstsative proofs contained in the treaty of ou
right this territory She has therefore, in carrying
JUs hcr Wishes nantes "a bnt one alternative-which
H. to enforce if she can her rseAsnaion against night
OF 70 propose conventional boundary. If she takes
the latter ecnrse must b founded on an equivalent
or any concession mads for hae accommodation, and
that equivalent must be satisfactory Maine, which
holds the right Of State jurisdiction, and moiety OF
the seif; and to tho united States, which hold the
power OF negotiation and settlement; for can ac-
knowledge constitutional right TO transfer territory
and usdction without tho ssent ofthe States inte-
restsd. ~
Without any evidence Of coming events beyond
probability, have thought such contingency like
to occur that could reconcile il with my duty
leave it unprovided fos. have therefore brought
it your consideration, not because doubt the cha
racter Of our title to tho territory because would
invite terms Of compEomise which would involve a
voluntary surrender Of what belongs to us or would
imply any uncertainty 70 resolute determine
ton to maintain rights but that provisions may be
made for making known the seatimenls of The COM
monwealth, in case terms Of compr0mise shall be dis
cussed with view to a settlement. The sentmen =
of Maine and the United States are unknown to me,
except disclosed to the pubc but do not view i
impossbility that terms may be proposed which
will meet the appreciation of BOTH and it is for this
| event would have the Commonwealth prepared
that she may assert and vndcste her Just rights and
at the same time do whatever consistent with them
TO promote amicable adjustment OF the controversy

ia writer in the Richmond Compiler states
the amount due to the Merchants of that CITY
Ion the country 10 he near fur millions Of dol.
lars, and remarks IL should like to know from
those wise men who say tho country can get no
accommodation in our city, if in fact all the ac-
commodation granted to the Merchants in tho ci-
~ by our Banks is not for the benefit of the coun
try at last. Let the Banks stop discoun,ing for
the city Merchants, and they will have to press
the country people 10 pay up" There is a
great deal Of truth in this remark, and we con-
mend 1t to consideration of those who think that
Richmond is alone, or chiefly, benefited, BY the
Banks located there. They will probably see
from 1t how it is, that our Country Merchants.
with whom they deal, are enabled to give them
Indulgence; and also how it is that they, at the
same 'lme' get cash for the produce they send to
market.

Edward w. johnson, late editor Of the Colum-
bia Is. CO. Telegraph, the leading organ Of the
Nulli6ers, also makes statement, FROM which
we take the following extract:
"rowards the close Of the yeariS3G, a general
feeling of the jeopardy in wichthe entire social
system of the South stood, induced a movement
throughout the Carolina party to revive the
''Southern Review" in order that, i'm the great
interchange Of thought which now influences SO
powerfully the fate of civilized communities, the
peculiar interests and ideas f,heplan,ing States
might no longer be 'unreprcsertcd. In the at
tempt to effect this object, myself took very
active part, and was designated, will, the approx
al of the leading men Of Carolina, as the editor OF
the proposedjournal.
"A corps ofthe abest writers that could be
brought to the defence oithe South was, of course
to be enlisted Most of those who were fitted "a
aid in such design were consulted, either di.
rectly or through those who could speak fo
them. IL was in forming tits list that. Will,
| canvassing the assistance Of Judge Upshur,
learned what was, in Carolina, among his close
friends, reputed to be the length to which his q
pnions went. was told that he had passed IA
beyond notification; that he now regarded dis
pni2n as tue only safety for The Sn"''', and tina
cause"
Mr. Upshur, in a card published in the In
telhgencer, promises to reply to Mr. Bolts, a
soon as he can obtain his proofs, and asks il
the mean time suspension of public opinion

ATROCiOUS OUTRAGE.

We have becn informed of IA series Of ou,rapes
which transpifed last week, in the neighboring
county OF Jefferson in Virginia. the atrOcity oil
Wch is iuiiy equal to that of the scenes of blood
and iawlcssncss which Have heretofore been pc
cullar to the half civilized regions Of the South
rem and southwestern portions of our country.
isud has been pending for some time be-
tween Hieronc l.. Opie ard his brother-in-,aw,
captain Cord II. The particulars Of the origin
OF this quarrel are not such can, with propriety
90 noticed M newspaper. The report is, that
uorion and ;rS young nephew, named Mawle,
had presented themselves before the dwelling
place Of Opie, in a threatning attitude, and with
the purpose oil attacking him. Gordon ar
rested Tor this alleged violation oil the peace, but
The charge not being sustained by proof, he was
released. subsequently Mawle, who is said to
be mere youth, probably seventeen or eighteen
years old, was passing alone by the house of
opie, ON horseback. a man named Smith Grain,
VINO was In Opie's house at the time, with Opie
and others, sailed forth when Mawc was pass
Ing, Tor the purpose of encountering him.-C rain,
approaching Mawle, introduced himself and STA
TED that he wished to have conversation with him,
Mawic, replying that he had no business with
hiin, and would have nothing to say to him, turn
ed his horse to go way. Grain then fired, and
the ball passed entirely through Mlwle's BODY,
the Pertoraton being nine or ten inches in length.
Upon The affidavit of some one who was cas- SUI
al observer Of the affair, Grain was arrested and
taken TO Charlcs;own for examination. After a
long examination, the magistrates refused TO re-
ceivc bail, and decided that Grain must be com.
m'tied TO prison.
AS soon as the position thus taken by the Ma
gistratcs had been announced, one of Grains,
friends exclaimed, "cume Smith, tits time to go,''
and while one Of them held the constable fast.
the rest hurried Grain out of the Court house. in
the face OF magistrates and of a large asscmLlape
OF people, and placed him on a horse, which was
waiting, whose Heetness soon effected his escape
from the authority Of the magistrates. The ma
glstrat"s urged the people present to exert them
selves to prevent his escape, but, strange to say,
all present were as passive as blocks Of marble.
Cram is represented to be athletic and despcr-
ate man. Every good citizen must cherish the
nope that he may set be brought to punishment,
and especially that those who participated both
actively and negatively in aiding him to escape,
may be held 10 answer for their crime
Mawle was not killed, and there is said to be
some slight hope of his recovery.
An old man named flarris who was attempting
70 Keep Grain back, when he was going to meet
iiawlr, was struck with apoplexy, and continues
PROSTATE In consequence Of that attack.
