THE BOUNBARY TREATY.
The late English papers are very turbu
lent about the recent developments respect
ing the Boundary Treaty. That same map
with the “ red lines” that occasioned so
much disturbance in our Senate, between
Mr. Rives and Mr. Benton is producing
considerable excitement. It seems that this
line defining the boundary as marked by
Mr. Franklin, while at Passey, in 1783, runs
wholly to the south of the River St. Johns.
Now, the English journals contend that it
was a “ disgraceful piece of trickery,” such
Mr. Webster, while he had this
rpp|ftfefossession, and this “ red line”
to “ protest to Lord Ash
rm his belief not only in tha justice of
bole of the American claim, but his
vict joh of the intention of the framers of
3 Treaty of 1783 to carry the line to the
ortk of the it ret St. Johns.”
Whether Mr. Webster was bound to ran
sack the public ami private archives of the
country, and lay before bis Lordship all the
surveys, maps and “ red lind%” that might
She turned up from the dusty receptacles of
ancient documents, to enable him to ascer
tain what his government conceived to be
its just claim, especially when so many years
of fruitless efforts had been spent in endeav
oring to bring the matter to a settlement,
we will not pretend to say. But when wo
take into consideration the proverbial good
faith, magnanimity and untarnished honor
,of the British nation, we cannot but feel
wvused at their pious declamation against
they seem just to have discovered to
hard bargain. Speaking on the sub
ja Loudon pajter says :
“ The cool and deliberate manner in
which the American government insisted
on patting a construction on the Imu nd ary
line, as settled by tlie treaty of 1783, so ut
leily at vsftiawce with the damning facts in
I3br own possession, is considered by men
of all parties to exhibit a degree of perfidy
without any parallel in modem times. The
Universal exclamation is, that if the central
government <!’ dte model republic is enpa-
Itle of practising such fraud and duplicity,
and attempting a defence of such conduct
tii the face of the civilized world, we have
wo right to fee! surprised at llie dissemina
tion of .t/be fhafiae us repudiation, and tire
disregard of all llie moral ties which consti
tute the sum of commercial integrity and
honor by the suiyoot*f such a State.”
But tlis urtt tlie only difficulty that lias
sprung up since the messenger of jieace left
our shores .with tins olive In aack in bis hand.
IHie Treaty is not so popular ss rt was, and
now it is discovered that a misunderstand
ing lias occurred iu regard t< an oilier sub
ject embraced within Tt .provisions. A dif
ferent coMitructioa is yd need i|miu tlie sec
linn in reference 1o the Right of Search in
England front tlrat ■entertained hi this coun
tiy, and an important disciamination is made
between the words sen/eh and visit, out of
which new difficulties nwsst inevitably grow.
Sir Robert PecS, in his late speech in Par
liament, said,
“ 1 rejoice that the hott. gentleman Ims
given me an opportunity of making some
olwervations on the lale message of tlie Pre
sident of tlie United Slates. The sincere
and honest desire I have always enteitained
for the maintainance of a good utidersiand-
URg l-etween this country and the United
States, and tlie spirit in which l have always
Spoken of America, makes it a doubly paiu
nful duty to roe to have to i cfer to tlnit mes
sage, which, 1 am sorry to say, does not give
a correct account of the negotiations relative
to the right of visit.
* # # * * *
“ With respect to tlie treaty which we
have entered into with the United Slates, in
that treaty we consider that we have
’ abandoned no right of visitation. We did
tint understand from the United States that
entered into that treaty with any en
ment from us to abandon tlie right of
ilion, which is not necessarily connect
ith the question of the slave trade. We
ght that it was a step in advance when
United States professed a readiness to
ch a naval force to the coast of Africa,
lie purpose of suppressing the slave
ius the claim of the right of search has
merged in the right of visit. May we
ay that this is an instance of just such
graceful trickery” as we should expect
none but Englishmen ? The truth can
>c disguised—there is no good feeling
ieen cither the people or governments
two nations, and soonet or later, we
t come to blows—pet haps, the sooner
teller.
nee writing the above we liave seen an
le on tlie subject in tlie Augusta “ Con
lionalist,” fiom which we extract the
two paragraphs:
r ar<:k and Visitation. —We are nppre
ive that difficulties will arise between
government and that of England, from
interpretation and construction of the
t of search, and of the right of visits-.
two ‘distir.ct rights, as stated by Sir
ert Peel in his speech, to which wo re
he reader, but according to the Presi
of the United States, comprehended
ie, the right of search- We hope the
lultiea will be amicably arranged by
■-"i*l explanations; and it is our opinion
•hat mutual explanations can easily settle
die question. Already die subject lias been
brought before Congress. On Wednesday
last Mr. C. J. lngersnll offered the following
re *olution which, he stated, was based on
the speech of Sir Robert Peel in the Bri
tish Parliament.
Resolved, That the President be request
wl to communicate to the Houso (if not, in
his opinion, improper) whatever correspon
dence or communication may have been re
ceived from the British Government respect
ing the President’s construction of the late
British Treaty concluded at Washington, as
it concerns an alleged right to visit Ameri
can vessels.
The resolution was adopted, and we are
informed in the proceedings on the subject,
that great anxiety was manifested through
the House in relation to the matter.
The editor remarks at length upon the
subject, and though he admits that “the
right of visitation may be construed as but
another name for the right of search,”, still
be holds with Mr. Peel that “ they are two
distinct rights.” If they were so regarded
by Lord Ashburton, why was not the right
of visit claimed by him !—why was it not
incorporated in the treaty ! Can any one
doubt that the British government would be
able to accomplish by the exercise of the
right of visit all it sought to effect by the
light of search ?
ABOLITION ROW.
Quite a display of Abolition zeal and
pluck was made in the House a few days
since. The bill to pay over to the'claim
ants the money received from the British
government for the slaves lost some years
since at Nassau, N. P., was m: its final pas
sage. Mr. Giddings, an abolition member,
became very furious on the occasion and
kicked up quite a muss by his violent oppo
sition to the bill. He said that in passing
the measure, Congress was only “ assisting
slave traders, and those who steal and trade
in slaves, iu their nefuiions traffic and that
the money refered to in tlie bill “ was ob
tained from Great Britain by fraud.”
Os course such intemperate and insulting
language was calculated to excite consider
able feeling and to give rise to one of those
disgraceful scenes which of late years have
characterized the Abolition debates of the
House. In the midst of tlie confusion, and
while members from all parts of the bouse
were engaged in wlrat more resembled a
beer-shop dispute, Gen. Dawson, of Louisi
ana, had occasion to pass- to the centre of the
hall, and in returning to his seat passed
through the aisle where Mr. Giddings was
standing in his way with his back towards
him. The General, who is a thin weakly
man, weighing about lialf-as much as Gid
diugs, pushed tlie philanthropic gentleman
out of his way and passed on to his seat,
wlten the following dialogue ensued :
Giddings—(turning round) Mr. Dawson.
Gen. Dawson—(turning back) Well, sir.
Giddings—Did you mean that uukiudly !
Dawson—l did sir, I did.
Giddings—As a wanton insult!
Dawson—Yes, sir, I did, I did !
Giddings—Well, we of the North, have
a way to answer those insults, by appealing
to public sentiment.
Gen. Dawson—(sneeritigly and coolly)
You can have what you please. (And he
then passed out into the lobby and waited.)
In the mean time the bill was finally pass
ed. Giddings then rose and said lie had a
question of privilege. He then detailed
what had passed between him and General
Dawson, and called upon the House to pro
tect “ its awn dignity
Speaker-—I did not see the occutrence ;
therefore, l presume it was very slight; or
I should certainly have prevented it.
Mr. Wise then made some remarks ex
culpatory of Gen. Dawson, ynd expressed
a wish that the House would let the affair
pass without notice.
Cries of, “ oh yes, certainly.”
Giddings—l leave it to be decided by the
House.
Mallory—lt was but a very gentle push,
after all.
W ise—Tlie gentleman will not say lie
has received the slightest hurt, 1 am sure.
Mr. Adams— l presume sir, it was not a
threat that he would cut the throat of the gen
tleman from ear to ear ?
Giddings—The gentleman from Louisi
ana said that lie meant to insult me by it.
Wise—But not till you called him back.
Speaker—Order. The House will come
to older. There is no motion before the
House.
Thus the matter ended. Tlie conduct of
Giddings reminds us of the chap who on
being complimented with the spoliation of
“ and and liar,” asked in a rage, if the speak
er meant it in earnest, and on being answer
ed iti tlie affirmative, very coolly replied,
that it was a fortunate circumstance that it
was not spoken in jest, for he would take no
such jokes as that from any man.
QT* One Dr. Jarvis, of Concord, Mass.,
Ins undertaken to prove that celebacy is
productive of insanity. Think of that,
young Benedicts, and submit yourselves to
tlie matrimonial noose in preference to the
strait jacket. Let no one say it’s all fudge,
because lie’s been a bachelor all bis life and
does not think himself crazy. Such a course
of reasoning would be to arrogate to one’s
self a degree of sagacity that does riot usu
ally belong to human nature. It’s a wise
man that knows he is sane. Our neighbors
are usually better judges of such matters
than ourselves.
07* The month that has just gone out,
received the following complimentary toast
from a Virginia poet, at a recent celebra
tion in that State:
By J. R. M.—February :
This month, though short and icon! of days,
Is fraught with glory, fame and praise;
Though cold and wet with winter’s blast,
Lives Harm within our hearts onto the last.

“SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.”
We have received the January number of
this popular work—but a9 yet have had no
time to give it a perusal. The typography
is highly creditable to the Charleston press,
and the paper upon which the work is print
ed is of a superior quality. We hear com
plaints from several subscribers to the “Re
view” in our town, that they have not re
ceived their numbers. We mention the
fact that the publisher may look to it.
sears’ family magazine.
We take great pleasure in calling the at
tention of our readers to this work, for in
doing so, we feel assured that we arc di
recting them to a source of true entertain
ment and profit. Our readers are aware
that we are not in the practice of indiscrim
inate puffing—that we do not laud to the
skies every new and showy publication that
issues from the northern press—merely to
secure an exchange, and wo feel confident
that they will credit our sincerity when we
say that we consider the Magazine before
us one of the most valuable publications of
the day. It is not a fashionable monthly,
filled with painted pictures of drawing-room
ladies and gentlemen, and the usual variety
of light literature, but is a work of higher
aims, combining practical utility with ra
tional entertainment. “ The object of the
present magazine,” says the editor, “ is to
furr.isli the heads of families, in the middle
and humbler classes of society, as well ns
tlie youth of both sexes with a work which
will not merely possess the negative quality
of not being injurious, but in which thepoi
itire one of being really useful, will alone
be found.” This object is fully sustained
by the two numbers we have received, the
contents of which are truly valuable. All
the interesting subjects treated, among
which are Biography, History, Agriculture,
Mechanics, Sciences, Arts, Manufactures,
&c., with various and pleasing Miscellany,
are all beautifully illustrated with fine en
gravings, and presented in a more attrac
tive form than that of any other similar work
which we have seen. The two first num
bers for January and February are already
out, and embellished with forty-one instruc
tive engravings. Tlie volume will comprise
about 500 large magazine pages in beauti
ful fair type and on excellent paper, illus
trated with, say 250 engravings, at the ex
tremely low price of $2 per annum.
Such of our readers as desire it, can see
specimen numbers of tbework at the office
of the “ Miscellany.”
GT* We have received the first number
of the third volume of “ The American
Mechanic,” a neat quarto, published weekly
in New York, and devoted to the advance
ment of the mechanic arts, scientific im
provements, &c. The “ Mechanic” is an
ably conducted journal, and is well deserv
ing of the patronage of the class to whose
interests it is devoted. Subscription price
$2 00.
07* A weekly press has recently been
established at Honolulu,ill tlie Sandwich Is
lands, called the “Sandwich Island Ga
zette.” The editor is a humorous fellow,
in proof of which the “ Pictou Farmer,”
which paper has received several copies of
the “ Gazette,” gives the following extract:
“ Catastrophe. —Walking near the sea
side the other day,, we saw a man running
towards us, with great celerity,, grasping in
his hand, what, at first sight, we took to be
a stone or fragment of brick ; the appear
ance of the individual immediately seemed
to justify the belief that he had a design up
on us. Fearing disagreeable consequences,
—being a small man, and feeble, we raised
our cane to avert any suddenly impening at
tack, and examined our attenuated support
ers to judge of their capacity for bearing us
out of the reach of danger—the man came
up with us—raised his clenched fist—vocif
erated with impetuosity, “Here is my six
dollars for the subscription to your Gazette,
please to give me a receipt!”
We never met with just such an adven
ture as that ourself, but while we were sit
ting at our desk the other morning,with our
back towards the door, a strange looking
man entered, approached us, and before we
could rise from our seat, and while within
three feet of us, drew from his side* pocket a
large steel mounted pocket book! from
which he took 85 00 and paid us for two
years in advance. We wouldn’t care if
someone would servo us in the same way
every day, we wouldn’t.
0?* John Neal, the eccentric writer of
thyme and romance, has been making a Ju
dy McFadden of himself by lecturing in
New York upon the rights of woman, for
whom he claims all the privileges—civil, re
ligious, political and military—that are en
joyed by their lords. A Georgia editor
speaking of these lectures, says, he sup
poses Mr. Neal to be a bachelor, or he would
recommend his wife to read him a “ curtain
lecture.” The editor is mistaken—Mr.
Neal is a married man, mid it is prebably
ownigto this fact that he is prepared to make
such lilipral concession of declared lights.
We think it very likely that “ curtain lec
tures” arc no new thing to Mr. Neal, and
that his generosity in this particular case
springs more from fear than favor.

THE DOWN-IULL OF LIFE.
arious and strange indeed are the vicis
situdes of human life. As the glorious orb
that rises in unclouded splendor is often
shrouded by storms and tempests ere it
reaches its western bourne, so is he upon
whose advent the sunshine of prosperity
smiles, often doomed to experience the sev
erest reverses of fortune, and to go down to
the grave despised, neglected and contemn
ed by those who once applauded and wor
shipped him. In other words, we often see
otic enter upon the journey of life in the
enjoyment of every blessing—honor, wealth
and friends—who, by indolence, dissipation
and vice, brings himself to be “ a vagabond,
a vagrant,” and, despite all bis bright pros
pects, is compelled, in the words of the old
song,
“ To fiddle, limp and scrape iq
Through the ups and downs of life.”
Thus was it with the subject of our
sketch. George Washington Parkins bad
seen better days—had been a “ first circle”
man in bis time. He bad “ come of a very
respectable family,” and long after his pock
et had become a stranger to change—even
after his beaver had lost its shape and his
coat its gloss, this circumstance—his family
consequence—prevented Lis being entirely
cast out of society. Some thought he had
expectations, and of course still called him
Mi. Parkins. In time, however, these ex
pectations were entirely dissipated. Deaths
in the Parkins’ family brought no legacies
to Mr. Washington Parkins, and people be
gan to cut him. He was evidently on the
down-hill trip, and his former fiietids wish
ed him a prosperous and speedy journey.
He had so altered in personal appearance
that few were able to recognise him—in
fact, lie was not the same person—he was
only Wash Parkins—and they never asked
him to drink or to dine with them. Some
people said that they had no sympathy for
such fellows—lie had abused bis opportuni
ties—and they pointed to others who had
risen from obscurity and poverty to wealth
and influence,and remarked how much credit
they deserved. But they were at the sunlit
and Wash on the down-hill of life. Poor
Wash, lie gtew unpopular with the very
dogs—they harked at him, and when they
took a mouthful out of his coat-tail none
were thankful that it was no worse. Wash
becatoe Tpigratory in his habits, and visited
strange parts, but he never could rise. He
is in a sadly dilapidated state —gradually
wearing a wav—hut is the same old Wash
Parkins that he was years ago, and we have
given our readers a picture of him as he is
to be seen trudging along on the down-bill
of life.

ed ! We have no disposition to argue the
policy of its original passage, hut we do be
lieve that it is beyond the ability of Con

consequences to the country. Hopes are
entertained by some that the President will
exercise the veto power “to prevent the
legislative parent from murdering its own

(the whig*) more than their share. The
Charleston Mercury says —“ The first rea
son is a good one—the second, neither le
gal, sensible, nor decent.” The legislature
which passed the bill is decidedly democrat,
