My Dear Gen e ral Scott: Upon my return
from closing the session of the 'Provincial

receipt of your very satisfactory communi

on you, my - drai General, has lod me to give
my willing assent to the proposition which
you have made yourself the acceptable me
dium of conveying to tne, and I trust that

ere concerned an end will have been put,
by it, to all border disputes,and a way open•
ed to an amicable adjustment o f the na t iona l
invotved. I shall hope to receive
the confirmation of his arrangement on the
part of the State or Mnioo at as early a peri
od as may be practicable; an 3 as it is my
intention to proceed to Woodstock early in
the ensuing week, I request you to have the
goodnesa to address it to mei at that place.
I shall Certainly use my best endeavors
to protect the timber on the St. John, with
he territory, from depredators, and shall
probably place, for this purpose,n small civil
force at-the disposal of the warden.
I grieve to learolleit there is so little
chance of my seeing you upon the present
oece.ion; but I with you to give me some
ground for hoping that I may hnve that
high gratification at as early a period as
maybe compatible with your many impor

A letter was lately addressed to Ex Gov

LuvuToN, Presidett of the Chester and Del.
aware district of the Common Pleas, they
-being generally reputed to be "adhering,
and not seceding members of the society of
.freemasons." Mr. Ritner, after explaining
his reasons for making those appointments
an far es the masonic question was concern
ed, and fortifying his position by quoting let
tura front T. STEVENS, ESq. and the lion.

cause ho has once been the member of a se
cret society ; nor ought he to be excluded
because he will uot expressly and in writing.
renounce his membership, and disclose the
secrets and obligations of the society. In
my opinion, all who show their opposition
to, and disregard of, secret societies, and
their bonds end obligations by a consistent
course of action, with a party Which is ex
pressly opposed to such societies and oblige
lions, ought to be classed with the oppnerus
of euch societies. Surely, by so doing,
they have exhi bloat! the beet evidence (if the
maxim be true that "actions speak louder
than words") that they regard the obj , cl
to be accomplished by the Anti•Nlasoinc
patty as of greeter moment than thu object
and bonds of the Lodge. Acts thus one
quivocal in Weir nature arid teridency,should
obtain for them full confidence.
‘Vhile in the exercise of the appointing
power, my conduct was at all times guided
by this rule. A pplicants for office will/ had
been members of Secret Societies, but who
had furnished by their actions undoubted
evidence of their practical withdrawal from,
and disroaard of,thnso soeieties,were placed
on a footing of equality with all others of
like q u alifications and character. AMI M
bar of persons of this class were appointed
to °like; nor have t ever had occasion to
regret these acts of justice. In fact, by no
other measures can secret societies ever be
wholly overthrown. Forgon the one hand,
the seceder be frowned on,perhaps persecu•
d by his former brethten,and on the other
discountenanced by those for the sake of
whose principles he seceded, few will be the
number of those who will burst their bonds.
It is proper fir me to stato That in a very

In conclusion,it . a ffiirds me great tsu re
to cormnunieate through you, wi:fi the cti
zetis of Lancaster count, us it presents an
opportunity of publicly expressing my do p
gratitude for their unwavering support on
all occasions. Few public men ever receiv•

The debate on the resnlntion for the pny

This debate has been one of the most ex•

Of wit arid ridicule, any thing that wo have

a crowded audience merry for two hours

from Lycoming" on Saturday. This was
followed up on Monday and yesterday, in
conclusion.
Tho reply of Mr. Parsons proved a
splendid failure"—a total absolute and un•
qualified failure. It showed to all that his
lance was scarce an awl blade when t'aled
against that of the Senator from Cutnber•
land. His friends were chagrined and mor
tified at the result—neverthless they ad
mitted that the trentendeous castigation that
he received from M r. Penrose was provoked
and fully merited. 1i a advise the con•

CONNECTICUT.
OTThis State is at last disentbralled.—
Locofilcoism is extinct, and correct princi
rles once more rule in the ascendent. This
is gratifying as it will unquestionably give,
the opposition to Martin Van Buren, a ma
joritv in the next Congress.
The whole opposition ticket for Governor
and Congress; and a very large majority
of the members of the Legislature, have•
been elected. There is scarcely a vestige
of Locolocoism left. This, we repeat, is a
subject of gratulation to the people of the
whole country; it is the harbinger of
more universal victory, in 1840; when un
der the auspices of the ' old soldier" of the
West, the nation will be delivered from po.
litiral bondage.
The last ten years, will be recorded in
history, as the "dark ages" of the Republic;
as a period, during which all wise and liberal
maxims of government, gave place to a nar
row and selfish policy, which looked only
to the promotion of the interests of the gov.
ernors, regardless of these of the governed:
This political night, however, we trust is
about to be disipated by the dawn of a day.
more propitious to the honor, interest and
glory of the nation.

led by men who entertain a proper ►espies„'

know that there is no other way, than by

Our 'State Legislature.
Kr As we have already announced our
State Legislature adjourned on the 27th
inst. to meet again on thU 7th of May next.
The Improvement bill was lost. On
Tuesday evening a bill 1 assed the Senate
appropriating $400,000 towards widening
the Union Canal, $30,000 to the Pottsv . ille
and Danville Rail Road; $300,000 to the
Notrh Branch Canal, and 300,t)00 to the
Erie Line, but the Loco Focosm the House
of Representatives refused to act on it on
Wednesday morning, although there was a
quorum present at the time.
As soon as it was known that it was the
improvement bill nearly all the L0c ,, 0 Fuco
members lefi the Hall, thereby reducing the
number in the !Lave to less than a quorum,
and by this means prevented any action on
tots important bill. Mr. Spaektnasi and
others made use of every effort to get this
impoatatit bill passed, yet as often as they
attempted it, the Locu Focus left the Hall
and stood about the liutunda, this trick tlieV
repeated until Ilse friends of improvement

MR. EDITOR,--f perceive that Judge

his contract without supposing any hostile

Mr. Walsh, in a recent letter from Paris,
alludes to the trouble to Harrkburg, and
mentions the following in reference to its

"It is only ten days ago that 1 recom
