PRESCOTT, G W., March a. 1860.
The failure OF any demonstration yet upon the bor
der has allayed, to great extent, the apprehension
which felt regarding the movements OF the dreaded
Fenians On this part Of the line this assurance has
been assisted by the opposition manifested TO tho
threatened invasion by the citizens Of Ogdensburg with
whom the Canadians have bccu terms " the greatest
aud most friendly intimacy. In United States border
or city Is this feeling of amIty towards the Cana
dams evncod strongly In ogdensburg and Ia to

Canadians There not wanting those cf course. who
regard the threatened invasion with favor but here
like on the borders OF Vermont and the eastern part Of
northern New York, there is wanting that annosiiy
which the 81 Albsrs raid created
