The Disputed Diary.

We have reason TO think that the proposals
made TO the Americans are such may fair
ly satisfy both Countries. Instead of stand
ing out for the Rosario Channel and the
who'll group of islands, as against the Haro
Channel and meme of them. third channel Is
proposed for the boundary line, which will
not only evade the two disputed courses,
but will leave the Americans in possession OF
the largest share of the disputed territory.
The channel IN its course cats off the island
OF san Juan alone to the west. and cOnse-
quently leaves u with this island only, while
the Americans will retain the remainder. So
consid ribie, in fact, j. the concession thus
made, that it reasonably suggests a little
compensation. and We believe the American
Government will be asked 10 give us the
whole OF a certain coast of headland which
the forty-ninth parallel now cuts in two. We
do sincerely hope this reasonable proposal
will be accepted.

VIEW po.t-omes STAMP.

The Philadelphia Press mentions a newly
invented post-office stamp, which, if adopted
viii be found of great utility in general cor
respondents. The PECULIARLY of the new
stamp consists in its leaving is impression
not only upon the envelope enclosing let
ter, but upon every fold of the letter itself.
This is effected by means of steel die, the
letters and figures upon which are formed by
a series of fine points which pierce the envel-
ope ald it's contents in such a manner az to
impart, incfaceabIy, the name of the post
Office and the date upon which the letter is
mailed. Since the general Introduction of
the use of envelopes much inconvenience has
been suffered from the want of such an inven-
ton. In numerous instances, as every bust
ness man knows. letters containing orders
are received in which the name of the post
town aud the date are entirely omitted, and
upon which the post-mark has been so i'm
perfectly impress d as to be unintelligIble.
For this reason post dates on envelopes are not
received in court iu evidence, and very pro-
perly so, from the tact that wrong envelopes
could be easily substituted to make out a
case. With the new steel pointed stamp,
however, all these disadvantages are effec-
lively obviated nothing short of the de-
structiOn of the letter itself can obiiterate the
date on which it is mailed and the name of
tine Office from which it is sent. Such an in
vention has been long needed.

sThe consideration of the bill provid-
ing for a mansion for the Governors of Ten
nessee, recently introduced into the Senate,
and referred to a Select Committee. has been
postponed 10 the latter part of this week.
This delay will afford ample time for those
who wish to investigate the subject to do so.
II the proposition be wise and sxpedient,
we have no doubt a thorough investigation
will show IT, fit be not Of this character,
Of course no one could wish to Sc il adopted.
We have heard no reasonable oijecIinn to
the proposition Ridicule has been brought
into requi>ilion to supply the place OF such
objections Some OF those who oppose the
measure profess To be de~irons Of seeing the
parcnase OF an executive residence; but they
want il in the city. With due Difference TO
these We thiuk the suburbs quite as conv-n-
len. and more comfortable. But were this
not the case, il will not b. many years
before the site proposed Is included
vii hin the limits of the city. The property
already belongs to the State. II is at present
dead capital In the hands Of the owner.
The State ought to dispose OF itin some way;
titucA III the WY pioposru III " rcLinS -
and putting the proceeds in the Treasury.
Bat rs a residence must. sooner or later, be
provided for tie Executive, this properly
should be converted to that purp6s-.
The bill provides, we b. lieve. for laying the
grounds OF into lots, retaining the building
with a sufieiency OF grounds and TO sell the
remainder. The fact that one portion of it l.
to be appropriated for an Executive re>idruce
would immediately enhance the value Of the
remainder, make il sought after. aud s,ll
we'll. There is no question. We believe. Of
the soundness of the opinion that the sale
would afford more than enough to build the
residence and make all other necessary i'm
provements- There is not private citizen
in the Country who woald hesitate 10 make
such disposition of his property. What Is
proper aud commendable 10 private citizen
cannot be less Ia the State. We trust
members will look at the measure in this
light and let nothing but sense of duty 10
the State and the Executive influence their
judgments.

~Between Mr.. McCiernand; Mr. Sher-
man, and Pennington. so far as the rights OF
| the South are concerned in our Territories,
which are now larger than the whole OF the

eitories. They are equally opposed 10
Southern slavery and Southern expansion
The above paragraph is from tie sicks-
| burg Sun and is endorsed by the Charles
| ton Mercury, a journal which has no good
feeling for the Opposition journal which
| has, whenever the occasion required Its
| services, labored for the success of the demo-
cratic party. We. therefore, call the atten-
| ton of our democratic readers to the state
ment it here makes. There is not the differ-
ence of the turning of a strew" between NC
CLERNAyD, SHERMAN and PENNINGTON, $50
far as the rights of The South are concerned
in our territories" This is an important
fact. But it is, by no means, recent dis
closure. 1t was well known ia Washington,
by the members of Congress, whilst the con-
test for Speaker was in progress. Yet, the
greater portion of the democratic members
Of the House, r, presenting Southern States.
whilst condemning SHERMAN and PESSING-
TON, voted for McCLERNAND who is equally
resolved with them to ''exclude the South
from our Territories" Although the Asrcu-
Ty complains of this vote, the democratic
journals of the South generally approve, or
are silent in regard TO it. Some OF th' m,
without compunctiOus visitings of con-
science" are vehement in their denuncia
tons of HENRY WINTER DAVIS for voting for
PESNINGToN, whilst they utter not a word oil
condemnation of the vote ofdemocratc mem-
bers for the Illinois Squatter Sovereign free
soiler. Why is this course pursued? Should
not all the guilty be sensurrd alike? All.
say you, 'in voting for MCCIERNAND the
democratic members from the South did not
endorse his Squatter Sovereignty" And do
you accept that as a valid excuse? Why.
then, is not the same excuse available in be-
half DAVIS? He did not endorse PENNINGLoN's
anti-slavery views, but voted for him 10 put
an end to a prolonged contest from which
good. but an abundance Of evil, was flowing.
According to your logic DAVIS has moi done
anything to merit the abuse that has been
showered upon him, but is rather TO be COM
mended for bringing order out of confusion.
You, democrats. are in the habit of rega ding
as venial in yourselves what you would
damn political opponent for You would
send Wing to pcrdition for approving the
WilmOt ProyisO; and yet you sustained Mr..
Polk for signing the Oregon bill containing
the proviso, and thought il ''all right for
democratic members Of Congress to vote for
the bill. Until you correct this unfortunate
habit you should be little more lenient
with your adversaries. Unless you do, your
denunciatiOns are likely to be without effect.

is important 10 them. The present disturbed
state OF the public mind in regard TO the
affairs of the Company, increased by your

5 q Here is an illustration of the vicissi-
tudes Of fortune. A few years ago one of
the most active and successful business men
in the city of Hudson was Leonard Wells
Everything he touched turned into money.
He once made $4,000 in an hour, by a
purchase and sale ola piece of real estate.
Fifteen years ago Mr.. W. was worth $4,000.
Shortly after this luck turned against him.
He lost $4,000 by buying stock in the Hud-
son and Berkshire Railroad. This was fol-
lowed by other losses, caused by indorse-
ments. In less than eighteen months Mr.. w.
passed from af1uance to extreme poverty
from being worth $4,000 to being worth
not one cent. Mr.. w. is now q resident OF
Albany, and earns living for himself and
family by peddling candies, apples and dough.
