ATTEMPT 10 KILL FRUSTRATED ny LADY
Some months since, a shooting affair took place in
Fayette. near Calvert street, Baltimore, in which
Mr. George w. League, merchant, attempted to
shoot down young man named Joseph Dreamer
The newspapers at the time gave particular accounts
Of the bold transaction which constituted an excit
ing topic of conversation. II was then hoped that
neither OF the parties would again appear in public
print until the time Of their respective court trials
1t seems necessary, however, to mention another
affair of the same parties, going to show that Mr.
League is not content with the reference of his
wrongs to legal tribunals, and further that IT Mr.
Creamer is very DESTROYS of proongiDg his life in
thin world, he had better 'move toparts unknown.
1t appears that the morning of the 9TH, Mr..
League with Miss Rosalba 5. League and other
members of the family, obtained carriage, and
proceeded in the country to the Relay House of the
Ratimore and Susquehanna Railroad, intending to
spend the day; during which the aforesaid Mr..
Dreamer appeared, and was observed quietly walk
ing along in company with young lady. When
Mr. League saw him, he ran and borrowed heavily
loaded gun, and getting near Mr. Dreamer, and
taking deadly aim, was just on the point Of adding
to the awful transactions of the fourth of july by
popping off his friend whilst in all the vigor of
manhood" when, thanks to kind fortune, lady
CHANGED to see the murderous weapon aimed at the
young man, and rushing forward, threw up the gun
Just as the trigger was about being drawn, which
terminated the design. The affair occasioned con-
siderable excitement at the time. Shortly after
wards Mr.. League and his family re-entered their
carriage and drove home.-Bdh Sun, JMy 4

THE EMIGRATION FROM THE NORTH.
The voluntary emigration from the north to Aus
very great pace. Every steamer which has left In.
verness for the south since the beginning of last
month has carried a number Of emgrants, whole
families as well as young couples and single men;
and of late not steamer has left Muirtown Locks
for Glasgow the decks of which have not been liter
ally numbered with the huge chests and other pro-
pertes Of the exiles. 1852 is proving excellent
eap-year for the young women. The Commission
Of Emigration have for some time past discour-
aged the emigration Of single men, seeing the dis.
proportion Of the sexes which was already COM
planned Of in Australia; and the consequence has
been that numerous marriages have taken place all
over the country, the newly welded pairs proceed
ing imme datcly southwards, under the charge Of
the agents of the Commissioners, to embark for
their future home in the land of promise. Now the
Commissioners have absolutely resolved to send out
more unmarried men, and as the rage for emf
grafton is extending far and wide, not few unions
will be struck up, that advantage may be had of the
government passage and allowances. Good news
this for many solitary hearts pining in our High
land glens. We are informed by Captain Macin-
tyre, the local emigration agent here, through
whose hands many have passed. that numerous
young women have applied for passages who
able to pay the small sum (fl) which all emigrants
under the Commissioners regulations have to pay.
This is circumstance which should be immedi-
ately brought under the notice Of Sir John Paking
ton and the Commissioners, whose anxious desire it
is to send out respectable young women. A small
allowance might easily be made to meet the sums
which these applicants cannot pay, or a local sub
scripton might be raised to aid some of them We
observe that depot for the Scotch emigrants is
now to be established by the government in Glas-
gov. This will be a decided convenience, as hith-
erto the Scottish emgrants have had to proceed to
other Of the English ports to embark for the
land of gold. Numbers Of young men who go out
on their own resources are preparing to go from
amongst us, and not few of them from the other
side Of the Ferry have already completed all the
preliminary arrangements. There will soon be
numerous Highland colony in the Australian towns
at which it has begun and is now going on.

The New York papers state that the razee hide
pendence, which was to have been fitted out as the
flagship of the Home Squadron, has been found so
far rotten as to require extensive repairs, including
new keel AS this, with ordinary dispatch, can
not be done in less than nine months, the frigate
Constitution will be prepared for sea Immediately,
in her stead.

an interview on Monday with a committee of New

leaving that to other and ADLER hands; simply desr-
ing our part to lead the public mind if possible,
to correct conclusion On this perplexing subject
In doing this, it is fair to consider both treaties to
gether illustrative Of each other and especially as
they are between the parties, and relate to the
same subject-matter 1t is also legitimate and pro-
per to refer to the concomant circumstances Of the
negotiation of the treaty Of 1918, to ascertain its
true meaning
In the first place, then, it is to be observed that
the United States renowned no right, or claim to
any right which we had by the law Of nations, and
which was acknowledged as a right by the treaty Of
1888. II does not appear by the Preamble that
any OF these rights were in dispute; the recital
being that differences have arisen respecting the
liberties claimed, &c and the declaration follow
ing this recital being that the United States here
by renounce forever any liberty heretofore enoyed
or claimed by the inhabitants thereof to take drv

Now, what was this "ii5crty' which the United
States renounced? 1t was the liberty which we
had claimed and enjoyed under the treaty Of 1888.
and which we claimed, but the British would not
permit MS to enjoy, after the war Of 1912. We say
it was this liberty granted BY the treaty Of 1888,
