The Georgia papers entertain no doubt

We have received returns from only
two counties. We have DO doub. but that
The legislature will be Locofoco out and
out, and that their candidates for Con-
eress are elected by large majority
There has been good deal of apathy
among the Wings in this State. Indeed,
in some counties. they made no oppose
ton, as they were ANXIOUS that the Gen.
trail Bank should be nursed and kept into
life short time longer by their opponents,
well knowing that in the end it must kill
them as party. On the other hand, tho

According to the best information from
Washington and elsewhere, it is now al
most certain that, with an ordinary share
Of common sense and common prudence.
all the difficulties between England and
the United States will be settled and
terminated by the Ashburton mission,
and in a manner satisfactory to both
countries. The Boundary Question is
already in fair train, and according 10
our accounts from England and Africa,
the right of search cannot form any poin:
of difference.
BY an arrival at Salem, we learn that
on a recent occasion the British brig of
war Brisk twice boarded the brig MeE-
maid, Of Salem, on the coast of Africa.
The Captain of the Mermaid says that he
was "treated, on both occasions, with
great civility by the boarding officer, and
no attempt was made to search his vessel
The officer would not even enter the
| cabin, without a particular invitation.
Capt. &. was Informed by British officers,
at st. Helena, that their government had
given precise orders to abstain from pro-
ceedings of an offensive nature, such as
the removal Of matches, and similar pro-
ceedings which have been complained of
heretofore. Even in the British colony
of st. Helena, public opinion was strong
~ expressed against the former seizure
Of the bark Jones, OF Salem" This
seems 10 correspond with the principles
laid down in Lord Aberdeen's letter TO
Mr. Everett, about the orders sent ont to
American cruisers not to modest American
merchantmen.
So FAR, 50 well. The other points of
difference are matters of indemnity, in
voIving no principles, but mere small
amounts, not sufficient to create a ripple
on the surface Of society. Bat the most
important movement made by England,
calculated to cement the peace of the two
countries. Is the new modification Of the
British tariff, proposed by Sir Robert
Peel. This tariff takes away the ground
on which the uI,ras of both countries
stood - and cones downwards to the
principles Of free trade and reciprocity,
to an extent far beyond the hopes of the
most saugunc. If this new tariff goes
into operation in England, it will vastly
increase the uade between the two coun-
tries, and bind them both in more AMIGA
bic bonds than any anticipated.
We fancy, then, that Lord Ashburton
will find every thing smooth and agreca-
bic in his mission, and that it will termi-
nate to the satisfaction of both countries.

ANECDOTE OF HOOK

On one occasions thin-skinned gen.
tleman, who conceived his conduct
had been commented on with too
much freedom, called at the Bull of
flee and enquired for the editor. The
publisher. guessing his errand from
the ferceness Of his demeanor, and the
stout horse-whip he held in his hand,
informed the choleric gentlemen that
the editor was not then at the office,
but might probably be seen at twelve
o'clock the next day. PuncluaIly al
the appointed hour, the gentlemen.
horse-whip in hand, arrived, and
was shown up stairs into an empty
room. Alter waiting some minutes II
anxious suspense, the door slowly
opened, and fine young fellow, o
Herculean proportions, entered lib,
room in his shirt-sIeeves. The couF
age Of the visitor at once sank below
zero at such an unexpected appari
ton, and he civilly enquired Of tn
young giant before him if he was tn
editor? "Bedad, | am the edithur,
was the reply, in a strong Irish accent
sat your sarUice." "lmpossible!'
said the gentleman, trembling in ever
/, limb, as he saw the fellow coolly tue
ub his shirt-sleeves, display arms whic
would have felIed an OK without diff
Guilty, and then spit in his hands as h
cIenched them, and placed himself
fighting attitude,-''impossible; yo
can't be the editor;" but the reply W;
f still the same, "Faith! | am the ed
thur, at your sarUice," the last VOL
, being delivered very very signifcan
