MAINE BoUN6ARY.-Tt appears, by
o recent speech OF Mr.. Cary, Senator
from Aroostook, in the Maine Legisiure,
that Mr.. Webster, in The settlement Of
the Boundary Question, resorted to en-
urdisguised and open attempt TO bribe
several members Of the legislature Of
that State. The occasion Of this speech
was on the adoption Of Report intro.
duced into the Senate, demonstrating a.
gainst the Treaty. Mr.. c., in conclu-
ding his remarks said:
"The adoption Of this Report would
give il Ghe Treaty. a.wound. Wha'
wonder, then, that his (Mr. Webs'er'>)
personal, political, ard il might be. bri6ed
friends, should oppose end Villtiy III"

Nh. WEBsTRR.--It is currently ru'
mored that this gentleman will receive
the appointment Of Minister to England !,
which. God forbid! should prove true.--
We believe with many Of our cotemPo-
rares, that 10 make such an appoint
ment whouId show great want OF re-
spect for, and total disregard of. the
feelings and opinions of tho American
people. We believe, also, that it would
be dangerous in IFS tendency and highly
pernicions in lis consequences--lo il Is
well known, that 10 all his actions and
correspondence, both in his private and
official career, Mr. Webster has proved
himself unworthy 10 be an agent OF a
free, republican peopie,-witness, for
instance, the Ashburton Treaty, and his
infamous speech against the appropria-
ton bill, brought forward in the Senate,
wiieo our Government anticipated war
with l. rance. In that speech, he stated.
in substance, that he would not support
that bill, though the enemy were Storm
ing the capitol at that mor,enti That
he is Eag'ish in feeling, none can douh.
That MS appointment to the Court OF
ST. James would be derogatory 10 the
American character, is equally certain.
It is our sincere hope that President Ty-
'er WI no, 50 far forget the importance
Of his station, and he honor OF seven
teen millions Of freomen, as to appoint
Il man, 50 10 %lcal TO their institutions.
