was great unanimity of feeling, and scarce
'a shade of difference in Opinion as it re
gards the p'nlicy on either side of tho house.
'mt. Clay threw up the idea that the Presi-
' 'dent ought to have taken thd matter direct
ly in hand, as the national authority, with
out addressing himself to the local authori
ties of Maine. It seems td us ihiit tile mode
adopted w'as Hie only one practicable, for
the head of the National Government. He
could only interpose by appealing id the
"elate government or that of Great Britain,
-and tho latter is too far off td bb reached in
'"time.
Some fcgrcla were expressed by several
senators on both sides of tho chamber, that
the Governor of Maine had not notified hi5
intention to remove the tresspassers to the
k Governor of New Brunswick, Mr. Walk
"cr threw out a suggestion, which seemed to
us a sufilcient answer to the objection. Mr.
Walker said, that a right to exclusive juris
"diction had never been set up before by tho
British Government. The order to assert
, it, he said, was a secret in Maine. The
"cxerciso of a concurrent jurisdiction by a
Jiarty entitled to it; required no' notice.
THE WEATHER,
he weather for the lu3t two weeks has
ieen very moderate for the tfeason, inter
spersed with rain and enow, which has rcn:
dered the loads almost impassable; The
Sus'quchaliria river is now nearly clear of
ice, it having broken up about a week since.
Bomo damage has bsen dono to bridges on
the river, and to the canal. The piers of
the Danville bridge have' been seriously in
jured, but we understand they have received
juch temporary repairs' thai the crossing
will not be Itite'rrupted. The portion of tho
Northumberland bridge, between that vil
'logo and the island, has been entirely dwepl
away.

The federal papers bawl iriost .lustily that
Governor Potter has within the last foiir
weeks of his administration, cavs tho Eds-
ton Sentinel, increased the statu debt to the
amount of one million and eight hundred
thousand dollars. Is tiicrc one word of
trulii in this? In Order that Rilucr'n
Cabinet might boast that they had Hot
increased the state debt, they borrowed
what money they- wanted on temporary
loans and promised repayment at short
dates; they became partially due in the ear
ly part of lhi3 year arid Ritner had not left
one dollar in the Treasury to meet those
demands. It required $800;000 oil the
first of this month to save the credit of tlie
stale these were borrowed temporary, and
81,200,000 were authorized to be borrow
ed by a sttJok loan, out of which the 000,-
000 temporary loan will be refunded. Not
one cent of this moneV is intended to be
applied to any object originated tlndvr Gov
Porter's administration. The whole goes
towards fulfilling engagements made by Rit
nor and sercral millions more will be wan-
ted in the course of this year for the same
purposes; The" federalists may continue
to' bawl as much as tlicy please, but they
may be assured that the pc'o'ple full well
know to " put the saddle upon the right
horse."
Tlio Odwdgo Palladium of Wednesday
says: "We learn from Kingston that Col.
Ilcilstls, of Waterlown, one of the PreScott
ptisonors, was executed on Friday last. Al
so, that one of the prisoners, a deserter from
thcBriiisli aamy,was' shot on the same day."
A few drys ago four men had been c'n
gaged till dark in fulling a tree in the com
miine of I.apluuic, in the Lot ct Garonne
but left their work before it wad finished.
One of ihein;howe?er, went back for tome
tools he had left behind; but as1 ho did not
return; his comrades went to seel: him, and
found him lifeless on the ground by the side
of the tree, which had been blown down by
the wind: Tho surgeons who examined tho
body could not discover tho slighncst exter
nal contusion or interna! injury and attri
buted his dcatli cither by pressure of the
air, or to a sudden fright at tho fall.

says: 'A woman near Dilwothtowu, five or
