north bank of that river, the United. States,
we say, has become DESTROYS Of settling the
question finally and permanently ~with=Great
Britain, and has several times offered to give
the latter country lying above the 49th de-
gree, declaring at the same that she offers this
compromise out of spirit of amlty and friend:
shin, and not because she thinks England. has
a right TO, any portion oft. Well, how does
England meet this liberal offer. of the u nited
States Why, she rejects it peremptorily.
and says she must have down to the mouth of
the Columbia, which is situated in about ago,
taking to herself all above this, composing
eight degrees and forty minutes on the Allan

four degrees on the sea coast. The United
States then, seeing that there is no chance for

commended that the notice of his intention to
abrogate and annul the Convenient, as it is
miscalled Of joint occupancy, shall be given.
This7is the question which is now agitating
the country TO its very centre. The House of
Representatives, on the 9th inst, seconded

THE PRosAND CONS.

We publish in this weeks paper an analy-
sis of the vote taken on the 9th inst, in the
House Of Representatives, on the question Of
giving the twelve months notice to Great Bfi-
tainr, We know, Of no matter which we can
give TO ourreaders, yhichwould interest them
more. 1t is question ofssast Importance, and
Of deep and universal interest, and we know
that i will besa matter Of DO small interest TO
our readers, to know who voted for, and who
voted against the measure. Doubtless in fn.
ture years this vote will be quoted, cited, and
be as often brought upon the political arena,
as the vote on the late war. : 1t will be seen
from the analysis that the only member from
North Carolina who voted against the -''no-
tice," was the inUinc;ble General Dockery, of
RichmoHd--that man of ''strong mind and in
domifable nerve," chow is it, brother Stan
dard 4 solitary and alone, he cast his vote
against the measure. We have no doubt his
constituents will have some enquiries to make
Of him ON this subject, when he returns home.
1t will also be seen on examination, that the
vote was not a strictly party one. Democrats
voting against it, and wings voting for it. We
would recommend our readers 10 cut ont this
table and preserve it. After the lapse of few
years itswEl be curious document.

Severe Gals.-On Saturday night last we
experienced, q. severe gale of wind and rain.
Several vessels at Smithville, we understands.
were started irom-iheir mornings. No serious
damage however, we are glad to hear hap
pened to any of them. The Gale farther
south. was most terrific. At Charleston, S. c.,
the damage was tremendous. We annex the
following extract from the Courier
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1846-02-20


The gale fortunately of a short duration,
continuing only about three hours, but during that
period we have seldom seen it more violent Great
fears were entertained for vessels on the coast and
had it continued many hours longer, there is but
little doubt that the consequences would have been
very serious. az
Capt Wood, Of the schr. Zephyr, arrived ycster
day from HAVANA, reports that he encountered
the gale, but that at no time it violent but
that he was able to carry his foresai. i..lt.
Letters from Georgetown state that the gale
commenced there at half past 8 A. NJ, on Satur.
day, and was as severe as had been experienced
for number of years past. The damage to the
banks of the rice fields has been considerable. The
blow came on very suddenly.
| Soon after the gale subsidized, the weather. which
had previously cleared up, again clouGed and we
had fall of rain. In the course of the evening
! the wind came out from the westward, it became
/ quite clear, and it blew fresh from that quartz
