THE QUESTION SETTLED!

THE QUESIlULS SETTLED!
 In a long course of Editorial life it has seldom fallen to our lot to enjoy greater pleasure, in announcing public event, than we experience to-day in announcing that which, if we could, we would spread over the whole country in breath, the passage through the Senate of the BiN Co settle the Teran Boundary Question Considering this most difficult of all the questions grow ing out of our Mexican acquisitions, and it's adjustment as decisive of the early settle ment of the remaing parts of the controver- sy, we confess to the uncommon degree of joy with which it fills us. Hail Liberty and Union and Domestic Peace Hail Liberty and Union and every great interest of the country! Hail the return of the Govern ment from its long alteration back 10 its just just sphere of action and usefulness!
 Our first feeling is certainly one of thank fulness to Providence for this important first step in the restoration of National harmony. Our next sentiment is one of high respect and gratitude towards those who have per severed with such unflinching resolution through this most trying struggle of the last six months, 'unseduced," "unterrifed."- They have encountered great responsibility, and thAy haun nncnunte~~I :. vt,UoI full :, they have made great personal sacrifices at least some of them--and they have made such sacrifices promptly, and with entire disregard of personal consequences.

 we heartily congratulate Mir. PEARcE on the success which has crowned his efforts We feel justified also in congratulating the friends of the Administration that this hap py adjustment has so speedily followed the | wise and conciiatory recommendation ol | the President to Congress on this perplex-
 ing and menacing subject.
 It now only remains that the great pop
 ular branch of the Legislature should follow up this noble work and complete it. We | confidently trust they will do so. We fully believe that in few days we shall be able tc announce that this and other healing meas ures have become laws. That is a consum

 TRUE.-Mr Webster, (says the Christian WitneSS,) is one of the few men in this na- ton, or in any nation, who is huly great and who can afford to De sgreat.
