Thoae of our readers who perused tlie first part, with & sincere desire to form & correct judgment, conid not, we think, fail to be convinced that there are at least, strong grounds why General Harrison should not-be supported by the South, and we itnagine that after they have read the conclusion, they will find ample reasons for joining heartily in the support of Mr. Van Bcrin. A correspondent who prrites us from Augusta, Ga. informs us that Judge ^oiauit has written his constituents another circular "more powerful than the former." It has not yet made its appearance here. The same correspondent informs us that the whigs will be beaten in Georgia, by upwards of 10,000 votes. We trast be may not be mistaken. THE NORTH-EASTERN BOUNDARY. Some weeks since, a rumor was current, and which we noticed in this paper, that it was highly probable that tho question of the north-eastern boundary would be soon, and amicably scttlod, from the fact that a proposition had been made by England to pay a million of dollars for certain portions of the disputed territory, and definitively to fix the boundary so as to prevent future misunderstandings in relation to the subject. This rumor, it since appears, is without the least foundation; no such proposition has been tnade. Some time since, information was asked for, in the uriusD ranidmcni on uie suojeci 01 iiojw.i?uuu relative to the boundary, and on the 7th of May Lord John Russell made hie answer to the inquiry- Hit Lordship stated that there were two distinct questions involved in the matter; the first of which was, the general question of the boundary, growing out of the treaty of 1783, and tho treaty of Ghent; and the other was with respect to the interpretation of the agreement, entered into in the spring of 1839, between Gov. Fairfield and Sir John Harvey; referring to the agreement made tliro. gh Gen. Scott. In relation to the first question, his Lordship said that a proposition was made last year, by the British government, and tho reply to thut was a counter proposition of a totally different nature being niado by tho United States. In the moantime the commissioners appointed by Great Britain to survey tho disputed territory, had returned and made their report, which, it was said contained matter of considerable importune -, and was then under tho consideration of the government, and an answer would be immediately returned to the lost proposition made by this government, giving information as to how far they will fall in with the terms of that proposition. His Lordship stated that "this was tho only answer ha could give at present, on that branch of the subject." The answer in relation to the second question is given more -a 1 al j a 1 1 ? 1 ! -11 at 01 icpgui, ana out 01 which lie says nas arisen an mo recent difficulties. He recapitulates the terms of the agreement and suggests that it was not explicit c. ^ough,?that it was ambiguous, and lhat__the Ainericans had advanced farther that the agreement referred to warranted tin m in doing. Under these circumstances he wrote to the Governor of British America, that it would be exceedingly desirable, in order "to avoid any collision between the adverse parties, that the exact geographical position at present occupied by each party should be distinctly ascertained, and made the foundation of a fresh agreement.' la the course of liis explanations, his Lordship remarks, "there is, I will not say, no possibility, but I, will say no probability, of any collision taking place between the adverse parties." The following is the concluding sentence of his answer:? Such is an outline of the slate of affairsat present between the two countries?no doubt it implies that differences of an un A ? A - L - I 1 . _ A? _ pieasam nuiure nave occurrcu oeiween me two countries on this question of the boundary; but when I consider how much both countries are interested in the preservation of peace?(hear, hear, and cheers)? the great responsiblily that will be incurred by whichever country shall unnecessaril hate recourse to hostilities, (cheers,) I trust and believe that peace will not be interrupted, but that the whole will end in a formal and amicable settlement of all existing differences. (Cheers) It has been wisely asserted that " men arc but uionkiesof a larger growth," lacking only a certain interesting appendage (which the refinement of modern idiom has latterly dubbed "fly disperser") to make the resemblance perfect. We are not decided in odr opinion upon the merits of this comparison, but are every day more convinced of the truth "that man is an imitative animal." Indeed if we had ever had doubts with respect to this 1 ;.l a?.at. .1 now iuciu truiii, iney must ?oug since have fled before the testimony of our editorial experience for a few months past. It is only necessary to "set the fashion," and forthwith the multitude follow. We have been led to thesa sage reflections, upon looking over the favors of our numerous coriespondents. Time was, when our humble Journal could not boast of a solitary " Poet"?now we have files ol poetical contributions, so numerous in fact, that we are forced to decline numbers ol them weekly; for unless we were to issue an extra sheet, it would be impossible to present them all to the public. The rage for rhyme is still rife, but wc think it is about to be supplanted by thai of Enigma's, judging from the uumbei I 11 we hare received during the past Week Our prose articles are not a few either, - and if the merits our paper are to be judged by the number and variety of contributions, we will not "knock under," either to the " Brother Jonathan" or the New World" mammoths though they be* We believe we mentioned some time since, that a society had been formed ib Paris, for the promotion of knowledge, by establishing an exchange of literary productions, curiosities, dec. dec. between the different nations of the earth. For this purpose Mr. Alexander Vattemere, a citizen of France, who has devoted himself to the accomplishment of this project, is now at Washington City, with the - ? n nope 01 gaining some action ay congress, for promotion of this end. He haa already traversed Europe, and gained the co-operation of many of its sovereigns, and wc trust he will receive that encouragement which he merits. Louisiana jhas already made provision for the execution of this system of literary exchange. BANKRUPT BILL. We frequently refer to the action of Congress, upon this Bill, because we consider it a rery important subject, and desire to see the National Legislature exercise the authority vested in it, by the Constitution, that of 14establishing a uniform system of bankruptcy." That provision of the Bill which embraced Banks, has been stricken out. A motion to strike - .1 1 ___ -1 e ?I_J i __ out me compulsory clause laneu oy a voie 17 yeas?27 nays. A motion was subsequently made to lay the Bill on tbe table, which also failed; yeas 16?nays 28. The indications, therefore, are strong, that tbe Bill will pass the Seuate. We regret to see so mach opposition as is manifested in some quarters, against a measure calculated as wc believe, to produce such happy effects. The Charleston Mecery in mentioning Mr. Calhoun's speech on this Bill, says he opposed it, as was to ljave been expected of a State Rights mau. We confess ourselves at a loss to perceive what principle of Slate Rights would be violated in uic carrying oat Dypjongress, ot a clear and undisputed grant by the constitution. It is not one of those ,4 general welfare" questions, upon which serious doubts may arise, but is a distinct and unequirecal grant of power. The Constitution says; ''Congress shall have power to establishuniform laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States." We think that the time has arrived, when it is expedieut for Congress to exercise this iinportsnt power, and in this matter, we can well imagine that a difference ol opiuion might arise, but how the pasaagi of a Bankrupt law would affect the rigkU of ihe States, we are at a loss to coneeive, Legal decision.?The Supreme Courl of Missouri has decided that an assignment for the benefit of creditors, which stipulates that they shall receive such dividend as the assignment makes in full satisfaction of their claims, and that the debtor shalh be released on the payment oi that, is null and-vo-id. PERIODICALS. t Tti* Mav nnmh#, rtf ' Tt, Lames' Book," hat reached us. We have already expressed our farorable opinion ol this periodical. It is such a publication 86 the South has long needed. Our friendt here object to the price, five dollars, which is more than any other publication of the kind, except the Knickerbocker, end the Southern Literary Measenger. Ii answer to this, we merely state the fact which is well known to every person a all acquainted with these matters, viz, thai it is impossible ta publish at the South foi the same price as our Northern brethren Even after charging higher for a work our profits are yet smaller. We thiol this consideration should satisfy all, inter ested in the success of literary publica tlon6 at the South* The Souther* Literary Messenobe for May has also arrived. It is as usua excellent, and not excelled by any periodical that we have ever seen in its literarj department, and without intending to b< invidious, we believe it to be superior tc any in its mechanical execution. The Lady's Boos for June, has will its usual promptness already reached us r It contains a colored engraving of " Sumi mer fashions" with thrgff' figures; also > two pages of Music. Its literary charac ter is interior to none of its predecessors [ This number completes the twentieth vo i lurne. Its age alone, may be considered |ns an evidence of its worth Titti IiA&ifs' Comunion.?The June , number of this handsome publication has i eome to hand: The artists employed in ite embellishment, have done themselves great credit. The engraving* "Mary of i Mantua," and the plate of "summer fash* ions" are fine specimens of the Arts.? The contents ate, as usual, good and entirety original. Our old friend Daniels, is a contributor to this work; his article, " Death on the Pale Horse; or tbe story of the White Mare," isjmarked by his peculiar vein of humor. The BaoTHEa Jonathan.?The enterprizing publishers of this ably conducted Journal have engaged, in addition to the number of able contributors to its eolumns, the pen Mr. N. P. Willis. The writings of Mr. Willis are too well known to require us to say any thing of them. The publishers in announeing the arrangement, make the following remarks? His reputation is of no mushroom growth, but the well earned meed of years of application. His popularity is no temporary enthusiasm, excited by novelty, and likely to give way before the next new thing; but a deliberate judgment of his countrymen, seconded by transatlantic criticism, and formed and recorded alter literary detraction and envy bad done their worst. He has triumphantly passed the ordeal, and lived down the jealouss which mere mediocrity' never meets; and now stands, acknowledged upon both sides of the water, as among the first writers of his.couotry;?the men whose proud place ' it is, to represent her literature abroad, and to !fead it at home, i The engagement of Mr. W. perfects the , plan with which we commenced the publication of the "Brother Jonathan." We wish to make it what its name indicates; and while we never neglect to cull the i choicest articles from foreign sources, our , ample limits leave us space to preserve for the paper a distinctive American character at the same time. We say nothing about the increased expense to which this en* gagement subjects us; because we have ever found that money applied to the improvement ol the paper returns directly in an improved revenue; and we close with the expression of our gratitude for a pubi lie patronage which has enabled us to o4?r terms to the best Atnerican writers^ and ; to put the Jonathan in a position never excelled by any newspaper in the country. rot TBI JOURNAL.

Those who lore good fruit should annually devote a small portion of their lime to producing and perpetuating the trees that produce it The apathy of many to this very interesting subject csn scarcely be accounted for, on any other principle than that of excessive laziness or extreme stupidity.

The stones of peaches and plums, and * the seeds of apples or other fruits should be planted either in drills, or in the ptaees they are designed permanently to occupy, before they become dry; they vegetate better and more certainly than when kept over winter to be planted in the spring. The right season to plant the stones or ' seeds is when the fruit is ripe, and it will ' be found they will more certainly vegetate, and acquire a larger growth the first season. Plant a few stocks each year, be careful to enmfl or innffuliU them vIim of proper size, with the best varieties, protect them from the cows and horses till* they grow out of their reach, and you will not have to complain of a lack of good fruit. , ^ OAMh Ftp salt at $9 tffcti per sack: Apply at the Camden Mills, one iqile below Camden, to SAML.
