SETTLEMENT OF THE FISHERY DIFFICULTIES.
The announcement that these difficulties are in
course of settlement is confirmed by further des-
patches from Washington, A temporary arrange
ment, it is said, has been made by Mr.. Webster
and Mr. Champion, and the latter has addressed
his Government urging the suspension OF the seiz-
ure of the fishing crafts and the Withdrawal Ofthe
naval forces now ON the Northern coast There is
scarcely room for doubt. if this announcement is
correct, that this temporary settlement will give
place to 4 permanent one. and that measures will
be taken to settle defnitiyely the rights Of the two
nations so as to leave no room for future controver-
sy.-Bal. finer.

E3-Mr. Lewis, of Harrison, Gov Johson's right
hand man, made speech to his constituents at
Clarksburg on July Court day, in which he de-
clared that the censure by the House of Delegates
of Gov Johnson's doctrines was ''libel on the
Executive of the Commonwealth; and until the re-
corded vote i, expunged from the Journal of the
House, a dark and damning stain will be stamped
upon the honor Of the State" He goes on to say
"his message of the It'll of May (the first mes
sagc) stands unrctracted, uualtered, unmodifed-
tho act Of communication is uuregretted and unre-
pointed Of Ii the act and the message had 4 ten
dency to produce spirit of INSTRUMENTATION danger
Gus to the community the past, the present and
tho future glory olthe country demand either that
tho author of the act and message shall be i'm
peachod, or that the libel on his fair fame shall be
expunged from the Journal Of the House."
Our readers will observe that Gov johnson,
through his spokesman, Mr.. Lewis, proclaims that
the Higher Law doctrines of his first message
were deliberately entertained by him, and that he
has not yet retracted altered or modified them
This is pretty high ground to take, after the back
cut in his second message Charlottesville .Adco-

GaiphIn!

All who listened to Mr.. SKINNER's speeclt or
Monday night last, may not be aware that Gen
Taylor's Secretary CRAwFoD, the man who Mr.
S. says pocketed 100000 of the public money, is
now supporting Pierce s. King. Judging from
his present position, and the known fondness OF
the Democratic party for the "spoils," we don't
doubt that CRAWFORD was Democrat in disguise
when he pocketed that ninety thousand! Prob
ably he may now be looking to seat in the cabi-
net-of curiosities it will be-if Pierce should per
chance, be elected President.

Difficulty with Mexico.

4 difficulty has arisen between our Government
and the Government Of Mexico, an account Of
which is briefly given as follows by Washing
ton letter writer, under date of August 3rd:
Very important documents were communicated
to the Senate on the 2Sth ult. and ordered on the
30tr to be printed relating to our relations with
Mexico. Part of these documents were published
this morning, viz: correspondence between the
Presidents of the two Republics,by which, and by
other information that has TRANSFERRED it would ap-
pear that the peace of the two countries in some
jeopardy. The matter Immediately in dispute is
the right, claimed by an American Company, of
making railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuan-
tepec from ocean TO ocean. 1t appears that the
Mexican Government had granted to one of their
own citizens right to construct a road under GER
tain re stricons that he transferred this right Gas
he claims he had power to do by the terms of the
grant.) to an American Company, the centre of
whose organization is said to be New Orleans
This grant to Don Jose Garay has, for some
cause, become very unpopular in Mexico and
when our Minister (Mr. Letcher) insisted upon
the fuflment of its stipulations, the Mexican
President and Congress refused. Our Minister
presses the matter The Mexican Government
decline answering his letters. President Fillmore
writes kind, wise and explicit letter, unofficialy
to President Arsta. Arista replies kindly, almost
deprecatngly offers to grant the right Of way but
not under the grant to Garay and SO the matter is
still unsettled. Mr.. Letcher complains that let
tiers were written from New York. Washington,
and elsewhere, to the Mexican Government, en-
couraging it to resist the Garay treaty and upon
the whole, it is rather an awkward and threaten
inc business but | devouty hope that it may be
arranged without the necessity Of force.

GENERAL SCoTT AND THE CoMPRoMIsE.-
From a speech made by Senator Jones when in
Memphis, two weeks since, we quote the follow
ing:
But General Scott has done more than indulge
in mere declarations. Before the Convention as
sembed, the Southern delegates met together
excluding all Northern men from their councils
and they laid down platform of principles and re-
ported them to the Convention, and which the
Convention adopted and passed. Has Gen. Scott
equivocated or lodged direct acceptance of them?
No. sirs, he has not! After the doth ballot, when
the Convention adjourned went to Washington.
IL was on Saturday. went to Gen. SCOTS house,
and said to him, you have seen the resolutions
which the Convention has passed-do goa approve
of them? eyes, sir" replied Scott, 81 cordially
approve them al-and will say SO or die" This,
now was before he was nominated and in less than
thirty minutes after he was nominated, his answer
was in the Convention accepting the entire plat
form! And, now, what man in the world can OBJ
lect to Gen. Scott on this ground! What more, |
ask YOU, could he have done, than pledge the toll
of his long life,and the character which he has &C
qu;rcd in the vindication of those measures?
When we consider all this, it is only matter of
asionishment that any man can doubt him. There
is no man in America who stands higher or is pur-
er than Scott? In the whole history ofthese meas
ures there is no man who was more ardent in their
support during their tendency and there is no man
who will more faithfully stand by them,or is more
unequivocally pledged to their support Sir, hui
man nature can give no more-and reason and
common sense have nothing more to ask
