few milos below tho Bodkin Point, a small
schoner-was seen Coniine down tieffiie the

schooner, and as there was evidently no
lookout on the.part of tho latter, she was

stopped, but by the mismanagement of the
schooner, the latter struck the steam boat

' From (he Charleston Patriot. .
Terns.—Sohifi ofthe Wbstern papers arc
much occupied with itttides urging the
purchase Of tills Province by our Govern

acquisition lire highly satisfactory.. Those
who'have alwaytf been opposed to the for-
malion of States in the West, ami the- ex
tension of slavery in tlinl quarter, will no
doubt resist the jinliny of purchasing dim e
laud from foreign Governments, by winch
our present bbimdarlcl wohld bb extended,
lint when the circumstances are generally
known which recommend' tho ncqflisili-in
of this Valiiahlo territory, the’grounds of
opposition must be deemed trivial & unsat
