AFFAIRS ON FUR CANADIAN FIIANTikit.
readkr will discover , from thp pro
ceeings b4th Muses of Congress wester
day, that theitinhappy state of affairs on th
Canada frontier, arising from unauthorize d
and illegal ptioceetlings of our own citizen.
followed by lequally illegal retort on th
part of the Canadians. (in , the assault an
destruction 4f life in the COM of the steam
boat Caroline,) yesterday ocEiipled, for
Wier space, the attention of both Ifous
.of Congress the motions on el a subject
hating been preceded .by a message from
the i'slisidem of the ;United States, asking
Congress to give more effective power to
the Executive for preserving peace on our
borders.
It gives Us great satisfaction to be able
to state that the whole subject was treated,
in debate, with a gravity proportionate to itp
importance; that,no excitement was mao
ifirsted but such as became 'the occasion,
arid thitt no other feeling was exhibited on
the occasion thin , was purely national, pat
riotic, and, io the,main. pacific. It would
save been strange, indeed, under existing
circumstances, had it been otherwise.
Bib we memion the fact because of the ex•
citement on the subject whit h is known oi
exist away North,linit which is not felt
any great extent IP this meridian.—Natio
