Movements for Mr.. Clay.-It seems that
the friends of Mr.. Clay consider the re-
cent alInsion to him in The Albany Wbig
address, as being distinct nomination for
the next presidency. "Col. Webb of the
regulars" thinks so, and so do we.
On the strength of7lhis movement all
the Whig committees are now called upon
to come out for Henry Clay, and to pre-
pare for the fall election under his flag.
This movement will undoubtedly he fol-
lowed up. The organization of the Whig
party in this State is mostly in the hands
Of the friends of Mr.. Clay, and, of course,
large portion oflhat party will 60 in that
direction.
Henry Clay is therefore, now nominal.
ed by The Wings of North Carolina, and
also those of New York, in opposition TO
the present incumbent of the White House.
The line is now distinctly drawn between
Clay and Tyler, and we suppose that usu-
al results will take place. The Wall stree.
press is identified with the movement and
will supportit. The "New York Express
and the "Commercial Advertiser" that
profess only 10 support the administration,
are only waiting favorable moment to
declare openly for Clay. They and others
will probably hold on till after the next
election. and then 60 against the admins
tralion, hip and thigh, whit and sce.-lbid.
The Boundary Question.-1n allnsion
to the report respecting the adjustment of
the Boundary Question through the mcdi-
um Of Lord Ashburton, and the convening
of the Legislature of Maine, the Portland
Argus, (Opp.) contains the following:
Ii is now pretty generally understoodin in
this quarter that Mr.. Webster has written
to Gov. Fairfield, requesting him 10 call
forthwith an extra session Of the Legisla-
ture, for the purpose of appointing COM
missioners to treat with Lord Ashburton,
and the General Government on the
Northeastern Boundary Question. It is
also understood that Gov. Davis Of Mas
sachusetts, has been written to on the same
subject, and for the same purpose. If the
Legislature of this Slate should be conven-;
ed for the single object taking prelimina.
ry steps in the settlement Of this perplex.
ing question, We hope that party consid-
era,ions " i'll not be allowed in the remo-
test degree. 10 minglc in its declarations.
1t is no party question. II involves no
party principles. Itis purely national in
its origin; and must be terminated by the
nation, either peacefully or by resort to
arms. There is. no doubt that our Claims
are founded in Justice, and on that account
we have less occasion TO threaten all ap.
peal to the sword. Every possible effort
should be exhausted TO obtain justice be-
fore we talko war. Every true patriot to
whatever party he may chance to belong,
should be ready to aid both the General
and the Government of Maine
in all honorable efforts to bring this great
question 10 bloodless issue.

THE SETTLEMENToF OF THE BOUNDARY
We have repeatedly expressed our convic.
lion that the mission of Lord Ashbu.ton is
conciiatory, and sincere in its professions
Of pacific design. In that case, his instruc.
lion on the Boundary difficulty must,
IS we suppose embrace certain conces-
,ions, which will invite and warrant cor
responding temper and terms oD our part.
The people ofthis State, of all parties,
will not hesitate to sustain the Governor
md the Leg gislature in such line Of canduct,
liscreetly pursued, as the supposed tenor
ut Washington NAV require
Cancellation from the other side demands
orbearance and liberality on our part
Maine has abundantly shown her resolu.
ion in opposing the exclusive claims Of
he British Government heretofore insist.
ID on, and now, there is reason to hope
hat pacific negotiation on fair and equal
erms, will save The point OF honor for both
parties, and end strife which has long
,arrassed both nations.
