BOUNDARY BETWEEN MEXICO AND THE T.
NITED STATEs-One Of the most important
measures, says the Baltimore Sun of Tuesday,
smothered at the close of the last session of
Congress, was a bill 10 run the boundary be-
tween Mexico and our new possessions, in
accordance with the stipulations 10 that effect,
inserted in the treaty. The treaty provides
that the commissioners of both contracting
parties shall meet at San Diego, in twelve
months from the exchange of ratifcations -
Unless the bill pass Immediately on the meet
ing Of Congress, in December, the commission
cannot possibly proceed 10 It's destination in
time to reach San Diego in May next, and thus
the treaty will be violated. The bill was not
reported by the Committee of Foreign Rela-
lations in the Senate until very late in the ses
sion; and though it passed that body, when it
came 10 the House, it was there also referred
10 the Foreign Relations Committee, and all
attempts TO call it up were uDavaiIing.
Lieut.. Emory, of the Typographical Engi-
neers. 1t is stated, was nominated by the Pre-
sldent to run the boundary between the United
States and Mexico.

BATON ROUGE, La, Aug. 9, 1913.
SIR have the honor to acknowledge the re-
celpt OF your communication of the Goth ultimo,
officially announcing to me my nomination for
the Presidency by large meeting of the Demo-
cratic citizens of Charleston, S. G., held at that CT
ty on the Goth uIt., and over which you were the
presiding officer.
This deliberate expression of the friendly feel
ing existing towards me among a large and rcspec-
table portion of the citizens of your distinguished
State, has been received by ME with emotions of
profound gratitude: and though it be but poor
return for such high and unmerited honor, | beg
them to accept my heartfelt thanks.
Concluding that this nomination, like all others
which have had the honor of receiving from as
semblages Of my felIow-citizens in various parts
of The Union, has been generously offered me,
without pledges conditions, it is thankfully ac-
copied; and beg you to assure my friends, in
whose behalf you are acting, that should it be nv
lot to fill the office for which have been thus
nominated, it shall be my unceasng effort in the
discharge of its responsible daties to give satisfac
ton to my countrymen.
With the assurances of my high esteem, have
the honor to be, your obedient servant,

COL BRAGG.-In the Warrenton Rtporter.
we find spirited account of the reception of
Col Bragg by the citizens of his native coun-
ty' Warren. The concourse of people that
were present is said to have been immense
The leading features OF the reception consisted
IN the presentation of a splendid sword, pub
lie dinner, and in The evening public ball.
We are pleased that the people of Warren
have thus honored Col. Bragg and themselves
and trust that the next Legislature of North
Carolina will take some steps on behalf OF
the whole State, to evince the admiration and
respect in which she holds COL Bragg and 9TH
err of her sons, who have reflected hon. upon
her by their galIantry on the battle-felds of
Mexico.

The WikmOt Proviso Democratic measure
Let it be ever kept in mind by the people OF the
South that it was by DEMOCRAT OF the DEM
OCRATIC State of Pennsylvania that the Fro
viso was first introduced into Congress. That it
was reproduced in Congress by DEMOCRAT
from the (cIaimed to be) DEMoCRAllC State
of New York. That it was twice passed by
DEMOCRATIC House of Representatives Ut
DEMOCRATIC Congress. That it has been
passed by DEMOCRATIC Senate. and finally,
that it has been sanctioned, approved, confirmed,
kenEzed. by a DEMOCRATIC President cleo
ted by the DEMOCRATIC party. If all this
does not prove the Proviso to be DEMOCRAT
&c measure in the name of common sense what
proof is necessary !-Chronich, 23d inst.
Does the Chronicle not know that the SPIRIT
of the whole of the above paragraph, and Tor
the most part the letter, is entirely at variance
with the facts. We freely admit that Da-
vid Wilmot, of Pennsylvania, proposed the
Proviso but has he not been denounced by
the Democratic press every where? we ad-
nit further, that Preston King, of New York,
also introduced and advocated the Proviso;
but does not the Chronicle know that Preston
King and the other Barnburners of New York
have separated themselves from the Democrat
ic party of their State and the Union, because
that party would not go with them in their in
sane attempts to trample under foot the rights
of the South Does the Chronicle not know
the fact that the Democratic State Convention
of New York expressly repudiated the Wilmot
Proviso, and that on this account, principally,
Preston King and the other Barnburners of
that State split off from the party? And does
not the Chronicle further know, that the Wh7g
State Convention of the said State of New
York adopted and proclaimed unanimously
this same WiImot Proviso; and that at this
same Convention, Willard Fillmore, the Chron-
icle's candidate for the Vice Presidency. was
nominated for the Comptrollership of the State
of New York And now, whilst we think of
it, we defy the Chronicle TO name Northern
Wing member of either House of Congress
that is not a Wilmot Proviso man.
No man has ever said that ali the Demo-
Gratis of the North are with the South on the
Wilmot Proviso We have said, however,
and we appeal to the record to sustain us, that
the Wings of the North, 10 man, are Provi-
so men, whilst at least portion of the Dem
ocrats have voted with the South.
We deny, in toto, that the Wilmot ProvIso
was twice passed by Democratic Congress-
that it has been passed by Democratic Sen
ate and approved by Mr.. Polk, a Democratic
President. The Chronicle has made assertions,
we presume, more through ignorance than
otherwise. We call upon him for the proof.

night the September Term of our County Court

DEATH OF Col. JAMES K H1LL.-We regret
extremely that it is our painful duty to record
the death of Col. James K. Hill, the Senator
elect from the County of Duplin. We knew
Col. Hill well. He was emphatically an hon
est, upright, and sensible man. We regret his
death much, and in this we are Joined by the
citizens of New Hanover County, TO all Of
whom he was well known by character, and
personally 10 many of them. Duplin County
has sustained a severe loss in the death of Col
Hill. She can send no man to the councils of
the State who will enjoy more respect and
consideration than the lamented Hill.

PITTSBoRo' CoNvENTIoN-We regret that
the press of other matter upon our columns
does not enable us this week to publish the
proceedings of the Convention held at Pitlsbo-

doubtless is aware, was to take into considera-

Deep Rivers. We shall publish the proceed
ings next week, when we shall make such re-
marks on this important subject as may sug-
gest themselves TO our mind.

THE PRESIDENTS MEssACE.-We publish
at length, on the first page of this weeks pa
per, the message of the President, assigning
his reasons for giving his signature to the
Oregon Territorial Bill. We think it an able
paper. We know that Mr.. Polk was strong
ly urged by some Southern members of both
Houses, TO veto this bill but we know at the
same time, that there were other Southern
gentlemen who advised him to sign it. For
our own part, we do not we'll see how he
could have done otherwise than 10 sign it
We think, therefore, both for the North and the
South-for the whole country-he has pursu-
ed wise and patriotic course. We clip from
the Charleston Mercury, the following remark:
on this subject:
The Presidents Pr0test.-We publish the
Presidents Message returning with his sigma
ture TO the House Of Representatives, the bill fo
the ESTABLISHING Mt ola Territorial Government ir
Oregon. II is, we believe. the second message o
the sort since the origin of the Government-Pre
Sident Tyler having SGT the only precedent fo
this approval of bill with protestandO. Unde
the circumstances, it was scarcely to be expected
that the President should refuse his signature t.
the biII and certainly, after the stormy discus
sions, threatening still worse storms for the future
that marked its progress, he could not very wei
pass by the occasion to indicate his opinions, anc
try TO exert the influence of his high position
The President lays great stress on the Missouri
Compromise, renewed again in the case of Texas
and saws in very plain terms that, if any portion
Of this territory were to the south of that line h.
should interpose the veto and further that Will
he is President, no bill excluding slavery from tn
region South of SO 80 can receive his approval
The justice and the importance 10 the peace ant
harmony of the Union of COmpromising the SIav
Question he enforces with much earnestness. Th
tone and sentiments of the message are highll
patriotic and cemmendabe.
