Speaking in Season.—One of the dele
gates (Parker JlcCobb,) chosen by the
Tories to attend their Convention at Au
gusta, is.a decided friend of llcnry Clay,
and openly avows his preference for him,
declaring that h’c will give him his vote for
the Presidency. The Van Burenites here
begin to think, that with all their hurraing
for little Matty, they have after nil been
bar king up the wrung tree. \Jl(l.
“A Mother.—There is something in
sickness that breaks down the pride of
manhood; that softens the heart and brings
it back to feelingSjOf infancy. Who that has
suffered even in advanced life, in sickness
and despondency,who that has been pinned
in a weary bed in the neglect and loneli
ness of a foreign land, but thought of the
mother ‘that looked on his childhood,’ that
smoothed his pillow and administered to
his helplessness? O there is an endearing
tenderness in the love of a mother to her
sdn that transcends all other affections of
the heart. It is neither to be chilled by
danger, nor weakened by worthlessness,
or stilled by ingratitude. She will sacri
fice every comfort to his convenience, she
will surrender every pleasure to his en
joyment; she will glory in his tamo, and
exult in his prosperity, and, if adversity
overtake him, he will be dearer to her by
misfortune ; and if disgrace settle upon
his najae, she will love and cherish him,
and ifall the world cast him off she will be
all the world to him.
The Prince de Joinville.—A circum
stance occurred on the Prince’s arrival at
Washington, which must have furnished
him and his suite with some merriment,
lie had arrived in the city perfectly incog.
and in a dress “marvellously ill-favored.”
With his friends in a similar costume, he
. called at Gadsby’s for “bed and board.”—
The person to whom tho party applied, af
ter surveying them from head to foot and
not conceiving a very exalted opinion of
their pccuniousiltj, told them tlieto was no
room in the Hotel. They next went to
Brown’s Hotel, where they were similarly
scrutinized, but were informed there were
only two rooms, in the garret unoccupied.
As the travelers were tired, they accep
ted of this elevated dormitory, rather than
go farther. The bar keeper presented the
book as usual, for the names of the vistors,
and when the Prince signed with all his ti
tles kc. kc. kc. the man in a great flurry
rang the bell, called Mr B. ordered the
best chamber to be immediately prepared
for the! Royal traveler!—This must have
recalled to the mind of the Prince a similar
one in the amusing adventures of Guzman
il'Alfarncho, in which the hero stops at
a fashionable hotel where he had been very
badly received some time before on ac
count of his shabby appearance: but when
he called in an elegant carriage and step
ped in habited in brilliant style, there was
no end to the fatiguing splendor of his re
ception. Balt. Trans.

"Extraordinary instance of gambling.—
It is well known upon the western waters,
that firemen and other hands employed up
on the boats spend much of their idle time
in playing cards. Of the passion for gam
ing, thus excited, an instance has been
narrated to us upon the most credible au
thority, which compasses the highest
wrought fictions of the gambler’s fate. A
colored fireman, on board a steam boat
running between this and New Orleans,
had lost all his money at poker with his
companions. lie then staked his clothing,
and being still unfortunate, pledged his
own freedom for a small amount, losing
this the bets were doubled, and- lie finally,
at one desperate hazard, ventured his full
value ns a sluve, and laid down his free
papers to represent the slave. lie lost,
suffered his certificates to be destroyed,and
was actually sold by the winner to a slave
dealer, who hesitated not to tako him at a
small discount upon his assessed value.—

and who informed us of the fact, that lie
was still paying in servitude tho penalty of
his criminal folly.— [Cincinnati Express.

THE NEW LAND LAW.
This new law which originated from the
suggestion ofGov. Kent in his message to
the legislature, was always a favorite plan
of his ior developing the resources of our
State. As long ago as 1830, when lie
was a member oftlie Legislature ho advo
cated this policy, in opposition to the views
of the then dominant Jackson party. They
considered these unsettled lands, merely
as a source ot revenue, and wished to sell
them out to any one, who would give the
most money for them ; in this way permit
ting them to fall into the hands of specula
tors who would demand exhorbant prices
of actual settlers. Mr. Kent opposed this,
and used the following language:
“When, Sir, as a legislator of the State
of Maine, I cast my eye over these unfelled
forests, ready for the axe of the pioneer Jof
civilization. I cannot bring myself to the
cool calculation of their market value, and
rest contented if they sell well. In my
opinion, sir, the first great object which
we should have in view in all our legisla
tion, is the settlement of those lands. The
great point to which all our acts should
tend, to present inducements to the hardy
yeomanry of our land to migrate to these
sections—so that in a few years the desert
may become a fruitful field—and where
now stands the native unsubdued forest,
our eyes may be blessed with the sight of a
free, enterprising industrious, ynnkec popu
lation, with their churches and school hous
es. 1 deprecate tlio policy, sir, which re
gards these lauds as_an appendage to the
Treasury department—which views them
only as a source of revenue—which, is
willing to sell them in largo tracts to indi
vidual' speculators, if a few dollars can
thereby be placed in our coders, although
by these very sacrifices (I will not call them
sales) the settlement will be retarded for
years, and the suffering tenants may mourn
in dust and ashes the hard hearted policy
which has placed not merely themselves
but their towns, under the control of an ab
sent landlord.”
The settlement of the Aroostook would
have advanced much more rapidly, had the
appropriation for the Road been made,
which the Wh igs proposed. The Loco
Focosofthe Senate who were in a majori
ty voted it down, hut for this they will
meet their reward, if any of them present
themselves as candidates for the suffrages
of the people, at the next September elec
tion.
A defeat occasionally is advantageous.
Mississippi (■ V. B.) Democrat.
You have had advantages enough lately
in the shape of defeats, if that’s all you
want. How would a victory do now and
then, just by way of novelty?
“A large portion of-thc message' of Gov.
Hill, of N. Hampshire is devoted to a de
nunciation of the United States-Barik. He
recommends the adoption of the general
banking law of New York, and also the
suspension of the law suppressing small
hills. He touches on the abolition and
temperance subjects with a moderate and
conciliatory tone, and throws out some
hints which are well worthy the attention
of both the .friends and the foes of these
movements. He exults considerably al
his re-election, under ‘the general state ol
things, andjthe great national (juestions be
fore the people.’
Isaac Ilill states iri his annual message
that ho shall not be a candidate for Govern
or of New Hampshire next year. No

“The Boundary Qeustion.—We anti
cipate a good deal of trouble before the
question is definitely settled. The diffi
culties on the Canadian frontier, will not
tend to hasten an amicable adjustment ol
this long-standing quarrel. It ought to
have been, and might have been settled
years ago. The [following article from the
Portland Advertiser, goes to show that we
may find it difficult to make as good terms
with John Bull as has been anticipated:
“We see by extracts from the London
Journals, the Times and other British pa
pers, that all the movements of this State
jw,.j^ m~r m rii mi iml mmiMim i
upon the Boundary question are closely
watched. Our resolves, the message ol
our Governor, the correspondence on this
subject are all published at great lengtli in
the metropolitan papers. Indeed the Brit
ish people are giving this subject an atten
tion they never before gave it, and it seems
to be made in England, as much a matter
of importance, as if the Eastern empire was
at stake.
In connection with this awakened atten
tion to the N. E. Boundary, wo cannot but
remark upon the large standing army the
British are notv placing in the Canadas,
u number it is said, 15,000 strong among
whom are the Coldstream and Household
Guards, said to be the picked troops ol tlio
world. McKenzie’s (N. \.) Gazette
says, though we have not seen the state
ment elsewhere, that the British are de
barking their large pieces of ordnance at
Quebec to lake to Mndawaska, for the
pm pose of throwing up a strong fortifica
tion in the wilderness there.
Whatever may he the purposes of Gicat
Britain in thus increasing its standing ar
my upon this continent, it becomes us to
do our duty to ourselves, and to demand
justico and protection from the Federal
Government. This slate has been horribly
neglected upon this matter, and since the
days of Gov. Lincoln till this time, ns
now set forth by Gov. Kent, her interests
have not been urged with that singleness
and discretion that they ought.—Let us
keep our eyes fixed upon the movements
of England. Let us make plain our case.
Let us point out to the Federal Govern
ment its doty, and demand the execution
of it. We feel assured that under the
present vigorous pilot at the helm of State,
Maine will not lie forgotten or betrayed.”

H s Excellency tho Earl of Durham lias

States, and will proceed at once to Eng
land in a ship of war.—[Herald.
J he tono ol the hah Durham s replies
I to the two congratulatory addresses, one
from the French Canadians hi this city
and the other from the Wesleyan clergy,
are remarkable for (heir appropriate lan
guage to persons ditleririg so much from
each other. “Justice towards the guilty
and mercy towards the misguided,” will
result in the restoration of internal trail
qnility, and tlie blessing of peace,while an
indiscriminate gaol delivery would have led
to far other consequences. We understand
one of French deputation interceded tor
pardon for 1)is son, at present confined for
High Treason, and that His Lordship said
that if the young man was innocent, lie
would be liberated, hut if he was found
guilty, he would certainly be punished.
The idea of punishment is revolting, but
is necessary that it be inflicted as a warn
ing to evil doers, and'as an encourage
ment to those that do well. “He that
sparoth the rod hateth the child,” is as
true in politics as in the rearing of chil

W. rc-m.irked that it was not his intention to make an
argument, but to Ftate the American side of the questimi.
In giving the details, he occupied nearly two hours.—
llis statements throughout, were fortified by official docu
ments and maps. It was a most lucid view of the whole
question, lie expressed his opinion that Maine would
not be satisfied with any reference which was not based
upon the treaty of 1783, end his regret at observing that
there was a disposition on the part of the Executive, to
vary from the stipulations contained in that treaty.
