Mason and Dixon's Line.


From the National lntcll'scnccr, July o
If the venerable men who crossed the
Atlantic for the sole purpose of laying
down this invisible and innocent line,
which has given immortality to their
names. could have forcseen "to what
base uses" it would be brought, we are
persuaded, little as we know of their
characters, that even a royal mandate
would have failed in moving them to un.
dertake it.
For our attention being brought at
this time to the geographical significa'
tion of this famous line, we are indebted
TO the researches of Mr.. john II B.
Latrote, of Baltimore, gentleman
whose profound requirements and liter
AIRY taste have contributed much to en-
rich the common stock Of knowledge.
Tho subject was chosen BY him for an
address before the Historical Society of
Pennsylvania and, as we presume but
very limited number of copies were prin-
ted for distribution. we shall not subject
ourselves to the charge of carrying fg.
to Athens, if we quote few passages
from it for the benefit Of our readers.
Speaking Of the political turn given to
purely geographical question, he says!
I" A consequence Of this state of things
has been to perpctuato tho memory of
tho old surveyors who established it-a
rare good torture as regards thor fame;
for, while the engineers who located the
road across the Simplon have been for.
gotten in the all absorbing rcnown Of the
master whom they served willis, Of the
thousands who sail past the Edayst'ne,
not one perhaps knows who it was that
erected, on n crag in tho midst of the
sea, the wondrous lighthouse that has
now detied the tempests Of century;
while oblivion has been the lot Of other
benefactors of mankind whose works, of
every day utility, should have been their
enduring monuments, Charles Mason aud
Jeremiah Dixon, who, eighty-six years
ago. ran line through tho forest, until
the Indians forbade the further progress
of chain and compass, and whose great,
est merit seems to have been that of ac.
curate surveyors, have obtained a noto-
ricty for their Dames MS lasting as the
history of our country"
1t was in the year 1863 that the pro.
prietariss Of Pennsylvania and Maryland
agreed with Chas Mason and Jeremiah
Dixon to survey the boundary between
their respective grants aud these "two
mathematicians or surveyors" landed in
Philadelphia in November Of the same
year, and entered &C onoe upon the work
agreed upon.
