It appears feud arose between Major Lddell and Mr.
Henry Huntington, in Caahoula Louisiana growing out

resumed the quarrel The result was they challenged
each other to fight duel but Ldde subsequently re-
fused to fight the terms prescribed when Mr. Glenn,
the second Of Huntington publicly denounced him. Soon
after, as Glenn with respectable citizen named Virgins
was riding near the place Of Major Liddel they were
both fred upon and killed Major Lddell after

LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

The Editor Of the Constitutionalia and Republic,
OF Augusta, (Geo) who was member Of the De-
mocratic Baltimore Convention, denies emphatically
that said Convention endorsed or approved the Com
promise measures He was member Of the Com
mittee that reported the platform, and says that
" the language used in the resolutions was delibe-
rately and carefully adopted with the express pur.
pose Of aooiding any laudation or any appearance
/" of laudation, of the Compromise"
This is a candid confession, and, SO far as we
have been able to understand the meaning of the
resolutions alluded to, is strictly true. "
Here, then, is an open avowal, by one who
knows, that the Convention did not endorse and
approve the measures passed by Congress for the
settlement of the dangerous and exciting questions
connected with the slavery agitation and yet we
and the friends of these measures who stood by the
Union. and the Constitution in their support, are
shameessy told to mount this platform, and, under
the lead Of standard bearer that hates and depores
slavery much the fanatics of the Constitution
destroying school, fight the battles of such political
cheats We shall pause long, and ponder deep, ere
we do deed at once so silly and so SUICIDAL.

make 50 large concession to England, since the
United States had usually considered that those vast
inlets or of the ocean ought to be open to
American fishermen, as freely as the sea itself. to
within three marine miles of the shore.
In lS41 the Legislature of Nova Scotia prepared
case for the consideration of the Advocate General,
and Attorney General of England, upon the true
construction of this article of the convention The
opinion delivered by these officers OF the Crown was
That by the terms of the convention American citi-
gems were excluded from any right Of fishing within three
miles from the coast Of British America and that the pre-
scrbed distance three miles to be measured from The head
lands or eree points of land The sea- of the coast or Of

miles from The shore Of the bay as of opinion that tht
term headlaad" used in the treaty 10 express the part q
the land ace haze before mentioned including the Q,
The bays and the iqdents Of the coast"
1t is this construction of the intent and meaning
of the convention Of 1918 for which the Colonies
have contended since 184l, and which they have de-
sired should be enforced This the English Gov
ernment has now, it would appear consented to do,
and the immediate effect will be- the loss OF the valu
able fall-fshing to American fishermen complete
interruption of the extensive fishing business OF New
England, attended by constant collisions of the most
unpleasant and exciting character, which may end in
the destruction of human life in the involvement of
the Government in questions of very serious ma
ture, threatening the peace of the two countries.
Not agreeing that the construction thus put upon the
treaty is conformable to the intentions of the con-
tracing parties, this information is, however, made
public, to the end that those concerned in the Anne
rican fisheries may perceive how the case at present

THE WINGS OF BOSTON.
FROM THE BOSTON JOURNAL or rnInAH


If any evidence is required that the Wings of this
city are not disposed to allow their personal feelings
to interfere with the success Of the Wing cause, it
is to be found in the action Of the two so-called
rejection meetings" which have been held in
Faneuil Hall. The meetings have been well at
tended, but by audiences of mixed character None
OF the prominent or intimate friends of Mr.. WEB
sTER have taken part in the doings The meetings
have been managed by over-xealous individuals,
upon their own responsibility, and without con-
cert OF action or harmony of sentiment Several
highly respected individuals have actively partici-
pated in the proceedings-men who have formerly
taken no prominent part in politics, and who
are totally unacquainted with the management Of
the springs of political action but the Whirs of
the city-fends Of Mr.. WEBsTER-haye stood
aloof As demonstrations in favor of the great
statesman, the meetings have been decided fail
ures This was expected at the outset by the
most judicious friends of Mr. WEBSTER, who are
not disappointed at the course things have taken.
We can assure our Wing friends abroad, although
we do not speak authoritatiyely, that Mr.. WEB
sTER has not countendnced the use of has name as
a candidate for the Presidencyin opposition to Gen.
ScoTT.
The present position Of the Wings of Boston and
OF Massachusetts, may be very briefly stated. They
are disappointed with The nomination of the Con-
vention, and cannot, for the present at least, be
brought to work for Gen. Scott with that enthusi-
asm which viii triumphantly overcome all opposi-
ton, but they recognise the binding force Of the
nomination Of the Convention, and knowing that
the contest will be between ScoTT and PIERCE the
great body Of the party will, at the proper time,
vote the Wing ticket. =
