own hands, and earnestly hope that the turbulent IN

, that we have done so.
From the .,1raiar Chrna.e,e
See the feeling with which the Treaty has been re
ceived in America mark the enthusiasm II has excited
What doe, this mean Why, either that the Amer
cans have gained great pl"maiic victory over us, OF
that they have escaped great danger as they ielt 1t
Of having 10 maintain their claim By war.
The Speech of the Mayor of Boston and Lord Ash
buron's reply, are worthy of observation as llusrat
ing the feeling in America with respect to the Treaty
The Mayor ard the Assembly praise Lord Ashbur
ton for having done so great service TO Tue on''eG
States and the Queen Minister Plenpoteniiary says
with admirable simplicity, that, "assuredly, no place
is more fit for the announcement of the settlement OF
the Boundary question:, that is to say the place where
began the organization, which ended in severng large
and valuable provinces from the British Empire. The
assertion perfectly true bu, i, is singular that such
an admission should come from the British negotiator
himself The passage, however is remarkable US show
ing what has been known to many, and thought by
more that Lord Ashburton is, in his feelings ana 81
public man may have his opinions as TO the Justice
Of the American revolt, but cannot understand now
an Englisman rejoice at the loss OF British posses
sions. But, at all events, person representing Inc
British Crown and specially charged with It's interests
might have selected some appropriate topic than
exuaton events which. view them as we will, were
in2lorious 10 the British Crown. Nor need he have
designated haHotced spot the cradle OF successful
revolt against the authority Of that Crown by which he

opinions upon the historical and constitutional question
the separation of The North American provinces from
the British Crown.

From the .Hornpg Erad
We confess ourselves entirely overwhelmed by the
Boundary Treaty, just concluded with America. In
looking the acts of our present Ministers, we turn
hack 10 the Administration of the late Foreign Secre-
,ary. with something like feeling of regret There
was something intellectual 10 groppe with There
were to be found knowledge, science, system, fearful
crime but capacity. Here there is merely folly, 'gno-
rance nfatuaon, absence, even of dishonest In,en-
ton When there is but fear prompted lna,uaon, the
task of exposition becomes n;ole rable aud nanseang
and like man, who is treadng in mud, which sinks
before his steps here al each step OF this new career
must we be fatigued, exhausted, and denied
At the beginning of this century ('eiore England
folly CONNIE nced) such Treaty as this would have
called down instant Impeachment upon the head oil lis
authors, or rather more could any Engishman have
been brought to syn such act or to conceive the
signature Of such possible than any Engl'shman
a. this dag would dream Of walking naked down 81
James street.
