the matter will present itself to the minds of her Ma
jesty’s ministers in a I'njht different from that which it
is understood by Mr. Fox. would have refrained from
any further remarks on the subject, but in order to ob
viate the risk of any misapprehension as to the views
of the President concerning' it, and inasnmeh as the
ground assumed by Mr. Fox with respect to the im
port of the existing arrangement* would, it*admitted
by the United States, give to those arrangement', a
scope not authorised by the language in which they
are expressed, nor by w hat is believed to be the inten
tion of the parties, it is proper that the undersigned
should call Mr. Fox’s immediate attention to the ex
press provisions of the agreement signed by him and
the undersigned, and of that which w as subscribed to,
under the agenev of General Scott, by the Governor
of Maine and the Lieutcnai t Governor of New
Brunswick.
The main object of those agreements obviously w as
the restoration and future maiutainance of tranquil
lity in the disputed territory ; and as the means of
most surely attaining that ol ject, the entire exclusion
from its limits of all milii try force, to whichever side
belonging, ami the delegation to tltc civil authority
exclusively, of the exercise of all power and jurisdic
tion. With that vi< w’, under the first mentioned of
those agreements, it was only in case of necessity for
dispersing notorious trespassers, or protecting public
propertv from depredation, that armed force was to
be employed oo either side, ami then the operation
was to be conducted by concert, jointly or s< parat< lv,
according to agreement between the Governments of
Maine and New Brunswick. The other was the re
sult of the contemplated “ concert” In tween th»* Go
vernments of Maine and New Brun-wick ; was in
tended to carry out the object ol lite first, confiding
to the State of .Maine the duty of protecting the tim
ber recently cut, and ol preventing further depreda
tions, and prescribed that these objects wt re to be
accomplished through the agency of a civil posse.
Accordingly, the Governor ol Maine engaged to
withdraw, without unnecessary delay, the military
force of the Slate. Without regard, therefore, to the
limits within which cither party had before exercised
jurisdiction, resort to military force, for any purpose
whatever, was interdi. ted to both parties. With re
ference to the extent of territory within which each
party was to continue to exercise jurisdiction, the first
agreement left the question of riuht where it had be
fore stood, and only expressed the conflicting under
standing of that question by the Governments of the
United States and Great Brit du, respectively. The
agreement between Governor Fairfield and Sir .John
Harvey provided likewise, that the question of posses
sion and jurisdiction should rem .in as it then stood ;
but stated where it stood,by providing that Great Bri- i
tain was to continue holding, in fact, possession of a
part of ttie territory, meaning that part embraced in ;
the Madawaska settlements, in the occupancy of
which, as well as in the enjoyment of the usual com
munications between New Brunswick and her Ma
jesty’s upper provinces, the Governor of Maine dis
claimed all intentions of disturbing the British autho
rities. Beyond the Madawaska settlements, there-,
fore, circumscribed by the limits within which they ;
stood at the datj of the agreement, the United States
cannot, under the terms of th.it agreement, recognize
in the British authorities the tight of extending juris- ;
diction, much less that of forming any military esta
b ishments l.eyond or within them ; and those, conse
quently, which fanned the subject of die representa
tions in the note of the undersigned of the 12th of
December, pushed, as they are alledged to h >ve been,
into tracts of country far beyond any acknowledtred
limits of those settlements, and wholly unconnected
with them, cannot be viewed in anv other light than
a bold infraction of existing arrangements. That
such is a just view of the agreements, cannot be dis
puted by Great Bi itain, as her Majesty’s Govern
ment h e adopt' <1 ami acted upon it. In the note of
Mr. Fox, complaining of the encroachments on the
part of Maine, and ol an armed occupation of part of
the disputed territory by that Stale, both are treated
as inconsistent with the existing arrangements ; and
it is presumed her Majesty’s Government will not at
tempt to apply one rule of construction to defend the
military movements ofits colonial authorities, and an
other to sustain complaints against the State Govern
ment, for acts which are not founded upon any ap
prehended necessity of the use of a regular military
force for offensive or defensive purposes. Nor can
it be imagined that it will be contended that those ar
rangements are not perfectly reciprocal, or that there
is any difference in the character and the extent of the
jurisdiction to be exercised by Great Britain in one
portion, and that by the State of Maine or the United
States in the other portion, of the disputed territory,
comprehended within the temporary arrangements
made to preserve tranquillity in both, and guard
against any hostile col.ision between the State and
colonial governments.
The undersigned having laid Mr. Fox’s note be
fore the President, is instructed to state to him, that
no reason is perceived for doubting the disposition of
the Governor of Maine scrupulously to adhere to the
spirit of the existing arrangements, and to avoid all
acts tending to render more difficult and distant the
final adjustment of the main question of boundary
between the two countries ; but, in repeating assur
ances of the readiness of the United States Govern
ment to contribute, by all means in its power, to an
amicable termination of the difiereme, the under
signed is bound to declare that a persistence in, or a
repetition of, such acts, on the part of her Majesty’-
agents, as those now complained of, would, if avowed
by Great Britain, be considered as but little in accord
ance with those assurances.
The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to
renew to Mr. Fox the expression of his di-tinguished
consideration. JOHN FORSYTH.

Cit rical or Typographical Error.
A clerical or a typograhical error in my last num

the public, as to justify this method of correction.
The mistake makes me to say:—“ The voluntary
confidence of the party [Union] would have beer:
gratifying. Yet I feel chagrin at failing to attain
stations which I have not sought.” Now I intended
to say exactly the contrary. The whole context will
show that I intended to say, and probably did say in
the original, not now before me; —“Yet I feel no cha
grin at failing to attain stations which I have not
sought.” I| any friend has filed my last number, n

THE BANKS.
We would now call the attention of the public, to
the pr< sent extraordinary position in which the Baids
of D ti ien is placed by the other Banking Institutions
of the jptate. They all refuse to receive her bills, be
cause they say she has suspended specie payments,
when it i- universally known that most of them have
literally followed iter example, and that some have
virtually done so.
We should like to know how it is, that any Bank
whit It has suspended, can refuse to receive Darien
Bills, wh* n the resources of the Bank are simple, to
meet ultimately, ail her üb.igations; and when, in ad
dition to her own .means, the faith of the State is
pledged for seven-tetith- of h. r liabilities ?
If an institution as strong, and as weil fortified for
the future, as the Batik of Darien is known to be, is
to be discredited by other Banks, already suspended,
and holding no guarantee from the Suite to redeem '
theie pledges, wbat is the world coming to ? If the i
Bank capric* is to cottirol the currency, to the in
jury of bill-holders; if the Batiks are to put tip and
put down the value of every thing at their pleasure,
th.' day is close at baud, when the people will take
this mat er into their own hands; for when any sys
tem beconti s destructive of the ends for which it was
created, it is the duty of the people to alter or abolish
it.
And further, if the Banks will neither sustain the I
credit of each other, or lend a reasonable amount of
money to the. people, in a time of peculiar embarrass
ment —if, when cotton is selling as low as four and
five cents—when the courts are crowding with suits,
and the p.apers are groaning with sheriffs advertise
ments, and Ruin and I tistress are walking abroad in
Ac land, there is nothing more certain than a speedy
1 and tremendous revulsion in the public sentiment,
w hich will produce a catastrophe, only to be averted
by stopping forward in the hour of need.
1 We have beietoforeexeited our limited influence to
prevent the adoption of harsh measures by the Legis
lature, towaids the Banks; but if they persist in their
present policy—if'they .-(ami off and see the property
o| the people ski diced, without >'ii effort to stay the
des<>htion, they will lieiv (forth ?»!id our hand arrayed
I against them.
But we still Dust they will come to ti < rescue, w d
hope we sb dl not bo disappointed.
THE ABOLITIONISTS.
If it ever has lx en doubted that flic abolitionists : re
nearly to a mm, i lentified with the Whig Party, let
those who have eiiteri lined such a doubt, only turn
I their eyes to Congress, ami they w ill there find the
most ample proof of sm h identity.
Tliere are nearly eighty abolitionists in Congress,
and out of that numlier, tliere are but nine or ten w ho
' profess to be Democrats ; and what is still more con-
I chi is e, every abolition paper in the Union, as fur as
I the fact comes within our knowledge, is opposed to
I the present Administration, and to the Democratic
Party ; and we would wager our life, if it was at our
jow n disposal, that nineteen out of twenty of all the
abolitionists in (lie Union, will support General
Harrison against Mr. Van Buren.
Vi ill Southern men longer continue in the ranks of
a party containing such materials? Vt ill Soutliern
i men consent to record their votes on almost every
ipimtioii, with such men ? It is time that passion and
prejudice should be laid asid , and a line of separa
i tirni drawn, between those whose vital interests are at
, stake, ami their most deadly enemies.
i What a singular spectacle does the present state of
politics present ? The Southern Whigs are exerting
themselves to break down Mr. Van Buren, because
they hate him; and the abolitionists are moving hea
ven and earth to defeat him, because he is opposed to
their infernal schemes—and if cross-firing should be
successful, who will be the next President ? Answer
—William Henry Harrison, the abolitionist.
Will the Southern people open their eyes to litis
question, and take the matter into their own bands ?
They will—and the time is close at hand, when they
will permit no man to represent them who is ranked
politically or otherwise, with their worst enemies.
They will tell them in language not to be misunder
stood, and w arn them to “ come out from among the
wicked.”
i The very idea of Harrison’s success, strikes as with
horror, and cannot be contemplated in this section of
the Union, with any other emotions than those of dis
may. But we confide in the people of the South,
and expect to find them at their posts.

COTTON. This article is selling from 4 to 7
cents. Tl»c low condition of the Oconee river, has
contributed much to depreciate its value ; but the late
rains may afford means of shipment, and the article
may advance somewhat in price.
The difficulty of geting cotton to an Atlantic port,
has depressed its value in all of our inland commer
cial towns ; and the tightness of monetary affairs in
our principal cities, and the difficulties in negotiating
bills of exchange, are likewise causes which have op
erated to depress the value of cotton.

AUGUSTA MARKET,—Jan. 30.— Cotton.—
During the week prices have fallen, and at present
quotations there is a good demand, although a num
, her of buyers are in expectation of seeing prices still
further decline before entering the market. The low
state o! our river, and the small inducement held out
to purchasers by prices ruling in Atlantic cities, is the
main cause of the pressure in our market. The stock
at the present time remaining in Augusta and FLnn
i burg, i» not much -lion of 45,000 bales, about half of
I which i* in second hands. Planters seem more dispo
sed than ever to sell, and if the article could lie got
oil, after purchasing, a lively t tisiness would be done
in this market for some week* to come. The sales
from ware houses this week reach 1763 bales. The
principal enquiry at the present time is confined to the
tiu< r qualities. We quote as the extremes 5a 8| cts.
—strictly prime in square bales may bring the half—
but this description of cotton is scarce.
SAV ANNAII, Jan. 27.— Cotton.— There was a
good demand for Upland the past week, but a depres
sion in prices, owing we understand to the advance of
freights. Ihe sales of the week amount to about
5500 bales, at prices ranging from 6f to 10c—prin
cipally 84 to 9|. There has been a better business
doing in Sea Island the past week, than in any pre
vious one this season. The sales are over 300 bales.
We quote 1 8 to 30 cents.
RICE—' he demand for this article has been good,
and a fair business has been dime. The sales will
reach near 1100 casks at prices ranging from $27-16
to $2$ —principally s2g.
FREIGHTS.—To Liverpool £d a 15-16th. To
Havre lie. To New York sl4 per bale.
MACON, Jan. 30.— Cotton.— Prices have vari
ed a little since our last quotations, until within two,
days past. The article was dull at 7 cents extreme, ■
yesterday 7;| was obtained, in consequence of the!
prospects of rain. We quote from 6to 7| —The ri-;

PRESENTMENTS OF THE GRAND JURY
OF PULASKI COUNTY, JANUARY
TERM, 1840.
the iinilei'signeil sworn, and empanelled as Grand
** Jurois of Pulaski County, for the new closing term of
our Superior Court, beg leave to make the following pre
lentments :
We profess to entertain at all times a solicitude for the
welfare, and a pride in the character of the county of our re
sidence : hut we feel a peculiar, elevated, and infinite pride,
that on this occasion we have it in our power with truth to
state, that nothing during the present Term, of a criminal
character has come to our knowledge, which is worthy of
notice
We have examined the books of our Clerk and Treasurer,
and in reference to them, are happy to state, that the style iu
which they have been kept, reflect great honor and credit up
on the officer, (John V. Mitchell.) who fills those important
stations.
To our Tax Collector, Wm.M, Kennedy, wc allow, as the
amount of his insolvent list, the sum of eighty six dolltus aud
twenty-five cents.
\\ e earnestly call to the attention of the Justices of the lu
ferior Court, the necessity of having a safe and sufficient jail
speedily built; the manifest inconvenience for the want of
such j.til being so apparent, we trust that they will take the
matte,' into early consideration.
We exceedingly regret the manifest inconvenience aud
great hardship which the deranged and depreciated state of
our currency operates upon all classes of om citizens; and
earnestly recommend to our Senatr r and Representatives, at
the next Session of our Legislature, to urge the adoption'of
such measures as may conduce to a restoration of our cur
rency to a healthy and sound state.
We would further suggest to our fellow-citizens, engaged
in agriculture, the propriety of turning their attention in a
greater degree to the raising of grain aud stock ; the history •
of a few past years has settled the question, that a crop of
fifteen hundred thousad bates of cotton will yield to the pro
ducers an income quite as great as a crop of two millions of
bales.
In closing these remarks, we cannot omit to express our
thanks t» his Honoi Carleton B. Cole for his kindness and
indulgence toward us; and also for the faithful and impartial
discharge of his laborious official duties.
We also tender to Colonel VV. W. Wigg’ns our thanks for
the faithful discharge of his arduous duties as Solicitor Gen
eral.
\\ e also request that those, our presentments, be published
in the Standard of Union, and Maeon Messenger.
