beyond what am fairly entitled 10; butifl
might without presumption add the express
ion OF an opinion il would be that you believe
that The conduct OF his great transaction Will
be forbearing, concilialory: moderate, and
lust, without any sacrifice Of HONOR or The
real interests of The country. But, my lords,

our efforts may be unavaIling. In that case

world.
Lord Ashburton felt sure that all which
caution and prudence required in this neSotl-
alton would be observed by his noble friend,
and that the honor of England would not be
furnished. When he looked at the probabll-
ity of two nations like England and America
rushing nadly into war on question I'D
which nothing was at stake but their honor
he could not for Il moment doubt that, what
ever might be the ebulilion OF leellng nere
or in the United States, the sterling goou
sense which especially characterized ihose
two countries would prevail, and preserve
both from that ultimate alternative winch ne
could not contemplate without feelings oil Inc
utmost horror. He held it to be hopeless Tor
either 10 seek 10 obtain advantage over The
other in what he called The terms oil negotla-
ton. The only question was, how 10 settle
this disputed right in the manner which
would be best for the two countries. Ihe
negotiation could not be in better hands than
those his noble friend, and he felt also, on
the other hand, confidence that the people
of the United States would at last come 10
fair. and honorable and a safe conclusion on
the subject.
Vessel for Liberia. The State Colonial
ton Society have chartered the good bark
Chatham, 10 carry out emigranis TO the Col
ony Of Liberia, and supplies 10 the slaves re-
Gently re-captured by the U. S. Squadron
on that coast. She will sail 10 Liberia on
the 9th instant. The dispatch of this vess-
ell affords good opportunity for our colored
citizens TO unite with their brethren already
enlisted in the cause, in founding civilized
and Christian nation on the hitherto benght-
ed shores of their lalber-land. We hear oil
one emigrant from Ohio, possessed OF con
siderable properly who is now IN The CITY,

| The message Of Gov. Roberts, at the ope-
ming of The session, is highly spoken Of In
