HOUND
Mrs Williams, Of Petersburg, Virginia, caught
a very severe cold last fall, and, thinking It would
wear uf in course of time itself, neglected u to u
very great extent. Finding, however. 1t did not
leave her, she then tiled various remedies, some OF
which subdued the cough 10 a measure, but none
efectually cured it.
Abou, a month ago, her husband thought she had
better try a change of air; so she came TO balti'
more, where she first became acquainted with The
Compound Syrup Of Horehound. The fret bottle
produced such relief, that before she had finished IT
she determined to purchase two bottles and return
home.

THE NEGOTIATIONS.

The Northern papers are congratula-
ting the country upon an honorable set
| Element of the the difficulties between
the United States and England. The
announcement of such result is prema-
ture, if it is ever to be realized. Very
| little progress has been made towards a
settlement. The British proposition
has been promptly and unanimously re-
lected, at least by the Commissioners Of
Maine. We cannot believe it was made
with serious hopes of its acceptance.
1t demanded almost every thing in ex
change for the right of floating logs
down the st. Johns. The great falls Of
this river being to the east of the meridi-
an line and within the British territory,
this concession is small indeed. The
fall is. we believe, thirty or forty feet,
and admits nothing bat the passage of
timber.
We understand that, at the instance
of the Commissioners. the American
Government has made counter-propesi-
ton, which is much more liberal than
was to have been expected. 1t would
cede to the British Government all that
portion of disputed territory 10 the me-
ridian line and north of the st. Johns,
corresponding very much with what is
called the Dutchman'A line, that is, the
award, or rather recommendation. of the
King of Holland. For this, Maine asks
the right of navigating the st. johns,
which amounts to nothing more than
floating of logs; for, as we have stated.
the great falls will adlnittne passage Of
nothing else; and Indemnity for her ex-
pences, which may reach two or three
hundred thousand dollars, certainly not
hundred thousand pounds. To this
this proposition no answer has been re-
turned, and we presume it is under cou-
federation. If it be not substantially &C.
cepted. we see no prospect of a pacific
termination Of the controversy. We
give only what we learned in the best in
formed, though not official, circles, but
We have every reason to believe that our
information is, in the main, correct

There is nothing so facinating as a
National Debt. It is so convenient a
substitute for taxation; SO compendious
a method of obtaining the means OF
national pride or qualification. The first
step is so easy, and the progress so
smooth and seductive. But the dreadful
day of reconing comes than soon expec-
ted. You 60 to bed drunk, and you get
up ruined. The debts Of all Europe are
of comparatively modern origin, and yet
the great object and skill OF Governments
now throughout the whole world, is to
raise the wind to pay the interest. Mr..
Snithson, to whom this country is in
debted for so munificent beguest, who
was given to political as well as scien-
tifcal speculation, observes, that modern
Government resembles cider press, be-
ing contrlvance to squeeze as much as
possible out Of the people. Hard cider
was, therefore not an appropriate device
for that party. which divides its love be-
tween bank and debt. laid has already Civ
en- Us a 'pretty considerable" dose Of the
latter. Its cider is hard, indeed. To
show how rapid is the accumulation OF a
National Debt, we give the following
brief history Of the rise and progress, but
not decline, of that Of England.

thence the deepest channel of the ST.
Francis 70 its southwesternmost source !;
thence. along the highlands, to the north
westernmost head Of Connecticut river.
The American Minister protested, in
the name and behalf of his Government.
against this pretended award or decision !;
and then returned to the Unitei States.
As soon as the fact became known to the
Legislature Of Maine, they, also, protest
ed against its acceptance. as they had
previously done against the submission.
The President laid the award before
! the Senate, early in the session of l84l-
2, for their determination, whether they
would advise submission to the opinion
delivered by the sovereign arbter, and
consent to its execution. The Senate,
after much consideration, determined to
advise the President to communicate to
the British Government that the United
States decliae to " adopt the boundary re-
commended by his Majesty, the king of
the Netherlands, as being suitable be-
tween the domiaions of his Britannia
Majesty and the United States, because
in the opinionro the Senate. he"king Of
the Netherlands has not decided the
question submitted to him touching the
northern and northeastern boundary of
the United States" And they proceed
ed to advise the President to open new
negotiation for the ascertainment Of the
boundary line.
"fhe award was also subsequently re-
jected by the British Government.
=" shall not stop to argue the question:
OF our title. 1t is sufficient for US that
the United States Government, through
the President and beth branches of Con-
gress, have repeatedly declared their per
Ffect conviction of the justice and valldi-
ty of the title of the United States to the
full extent of all the territory in dispute
between the two powers"
"The President was advised to open
new negotiation, and he did 50; and
repeated efforts have since been made BY
our Government, at various times, tt
bring the controversy to an amlcable COT
clusion bpt,without success"

Great Emigration. Now York
American says that letters received from
the continent of Europe announce the
coming of thousands Of Germans to the
United States. One letter states that
10000 are about to embark from one dis
trict, and that the rage for emigration per.
vades the whole of Germany and ltol-
land. The only event that can possibly
prevent the coming of these masses OF EN-
igrants, il, the want of vessels. An I'M
mense army Of emigrants are on thell
march into France to embark from French
ports. In confirmation of these reports,
we extract the following from French
paper. published in Paris, noted for the
accuracy of its statements:
