MASON AND DIxoN's LME.-The Wash.
ington Intellige Ger presents its readers with
Il history of "Mason and DiXon's Line" now
so often referred to in connection with cur.
rent politics. IT is the original boundary be-
tween the colonies of Maryland and Pennsyl-
vana, first traced in 1861 and 1862. In 1868
they bargained with Charles Mason and Jere-
miah Dixon, "two mathcmaticians or survey
ors," to come out from England and re.trace
the line. They landed in Philadelphia in No.
vember of that year,and at once entered upon
the work. Their old line did not vary an
inch from the one previousl y run.
The lines whose history has thus been
given were directed to be marked in partic-
ular manner, both by the agreements of the
parties and the decree of Lord llardwicke;
and the surveyors accordingly planted, at the
end of each fifth mile, a stone craven with
the arms of the Penns on one side and ofthe
Baltimore family on the other, marking the
intermediate miles with smaller stones, hav-
ing n p on one and IN NJ on the other. The
stones with the arms were all sent from Eng
land. This was done on the parallel of lati.
tudes rs far rs Sideling Hill; but here all

ther marking of the line was the vista of

the mountain ranges, built some eight feet
high, us the summit Of the Allegheny beyond

TIE NFNr PRESIDENT.

The Boston Telegraph-the especial organ
of anti-slavery in Observation-Disclosures an
article to show that the next President must
be a STAKEHOLDER or a supporter of slavery, in
case the election shall go to the House of
Representatives, as is generally anticipated.
The following is the language of the Consti-
tuition, as providing for such an emergency:
'The House of Representatives shall choose
Immediately, by ballot, the President; but in
choosing President, he.rotes shall be taken
By States the Representations from each State
hdring one uote; a quorum for this purpose
shall consist of a member or members from
two thirds Of the States, and a majority of all
the States shall be necessary to choice"
There are, says the Telegraph, thirty One
States, sixteen being majority. There are
fifteen slave States, not one of which would
vote for an anti-Nebraska man. In addition
to these fifteen slave States California has
chosen two slavery Democrats, who, in all
probability, would vote with them. The
State of Iowa has divided delegation, one
anti. Nebraska and one Nebraska Democrat
Her vote will thus probably be lost.
The other States, fourteen in number, would
vote for an anti-Nebrask- man. So, if the
issue should be Nebraska and ntiNebraska,
thu yote woul1 stand thus.

THE NORTHERN MOyENENT.

We referred last week to the joint move
ments of the Van Buren, and Seward factions
in New York. About the same time, the fu-
sed Factions Of Ohio, animated by similar
feelings, aud aiming at the same ends, met
in convention and nominated candidates FOR
State offices. An entire fusion of the old
parties appears to have taken place on the
Seward platform, and the ticket nominated
consists of men heretofore politically opPos.
ed. MIR. Chase, the nominee for Governor,
was formerly aleading Democrat in the State,
and more recently in the Senate of the U. s.

Wing, but an individual of less hotoriety.-
Mr. Brinkenhoff, for Judge Supreme Court,
few years ago, one Of the most enthusiastic
thorough going Locofocos in Congress; and
so on to the end. The New York Herald
speaking of these proceedings, says:
"They show that the Seward anti-slavery
coalition is assuming the proportions of n
powerful Northern party, and that secessions
in the South is also moving in the direction of
violent sectional organization for the Pres
identnl struggle. Between these opposing
forces the administration democracy have al
ready been crushed Our hopes, then, of n
third party in behalf Of the conservative peo-
pie of both sections, and in support of the
Constitution of the Union, still rests with na
tonal Know Nothings of New York and the
South, and their platform. Meantime, be-
tween Il surrender 10 Seward and the mainte-
nance Of their Independent position, let
the Order in New York prepare to de-
eide"
While these organizations arc taking place
in the North, for the purpose Of insuring the
election of Northern President by Northern
votes, pledged to war upon the rights and
institutions Of the South, where is the Ma
tional Democracy is it doing! Has il
an existence?-if so, is it taking any steps to
defeat the schemes of this sectional combi
nation We look in vain TO the North fOI
single sign Of vitalty--save that which il
exhibits in the ranks of the Fusionists. In
the South, all its operations consist in hos
tility to the Know Nothings, or American
party, the bitter foe of Seward, and the onI,
organization that gave any promise of being
able to effect his defeat.

GOV. JOHNSON FOR PRESIDENT.


1t is stated that at meeting Of the demo-

Andrew Johnson was nominated, or spoken

doctrines, his levelling peculiarities, his mon
strous teachings of the divine mission Of de-

absurdities and monstrosities hanging about
him like il.assorted garments, it was taxing
the stomach Of democracy pretty largely

ton of the State will probably not exceed

counties, while the increase in the commercial
and manufacturing towns is much less than
was generally expected. The city of New

below the estimate of the Marshals, based or

of running up to more than 10000, will fal

1t is not the state of our army before Se

reason to believe that the attitude Of Austria
at this moment occasions more anxiety. if not
positive disquietude. Ever-sinee the rup.urs
ofthe Vienna Conferences, the Russian agents
at Vienna, who are more numerous than are
generally supposed, and who, perhaps are to
be found in regions where they are least sus
pected, labor with redoubied energy to detach
Austria completely from her engagements
with England and France. For the last fort
night much progress has been made, out par
