Arrest of Craxoen at Zlfairlaxwaska-.-The
following account of the circumstances of
the arrest given by the Telegraph, certainly
puts a different complexion on the matter:
“It appears that Craven was one of the
Deputy Sheriffs for this county, wasauthori-
zed by a writ to arrest Mr. Daniel Savage
that he proceeded to the residence of said
Savage on an Island‘ in the ‘St. John river
about Smiles above Fish river; that after
Savage was arrested heclaiiiied the privi-
lege of an American citizen, when Craven
told him that it be was an American citizen
and resided on the American side of the line
he would not trouble him, but it was neces-
sary he should be satisfied that such was
the case, and offered him every facility to
procure such information as was compatable
with his (Craven’s) duty; that if any of the
authorities ofthe Americans, either civil or
military, would satisfy him that he (Savage)
was an American and resided within the
limits ofthe State of Maine, he should be
released at once. This was not done, and
Mr. Craven was his prisoner, proceeded
doivn to the Little Madaivaslca, where he
remained all night.”
He was arrested the next. day and exam-
ined and bound over, according to previous
accounts.
Sandwich Isla.nds.—-Recent Intelligence
_from the missionaries at the Sandwich
islands is ofa very interesting and encoiira-
ging character, as we learn from the Boston
Recorder. A letter from Mr. Armstrong,
pastor of the First Church in Honolulu,
dated Oct. 12th, states that during the year
he has had the care of the Church, (since
Rev. Mr. Bingham left) three hundred per-
sons have been propounded as candidates
for admission. The schools are in a pros-
perous condition. ‘Nearly all the children
over eight years of age at Honolula can read
the New Testainent, a copy of which has
been given by the missionaries to every child
who can read it. The temperance cause
is advancing also, and Mr. A. had known
but two or three violations of the pledge for
six months. _
On the 2lst of July, the new meeting
house at Honolulu was dedicated, or 5,000
persons being present on the occasion. Du-
ring service the King rose and Wesemed 10
the church a deed of the meeting house and
the land on which it stands. The building
is 137' feet long and 72 wide, flfld 0951
30,000 dollars, the principal part being giv-
en by the King liimself. G
On the Sabbath the people assembled in
their churches in neat attire, and some of
the females have munifested- such fondness
for gaudy dress, that the pastors have felt it
their duty to attempt to check it by admoni-
tion and reproof.
Georgia Sil/c.—-The Savannah Georgian
contains an extract from a letter from Phila-
delphia relative to some cocoons produced
near that city. The worms were fed from
trees planted in worn out cotton lands. The
letter is from Mrs. McL-inzilian of Philadel-
phia, who makes reeling silk :1 business-
paying the producer $5 per pound. She
says ofthe cocoons from Georgia, that they
were so superior to those raised in the vi-
cinity of Philadelphia, that she exhibited
them at Franklin Institute, and was advised
to manufacture them into satin, but the loom
she procured not answering, and not being
jhble to get one that would, she made it into
,.a blue black Gros (le Naples, which sold
readily at $1 25 per yard.

“An insurrection ofthe riegroes employ-

, Democracy and libe-“rty—-by a democrat.-_—
TheApril number ofthe Democratie.Review
‘has it portait of the O. A. Brownson, of Bos-
ton, and a remarkable paper from his pen
entitled Democracy and'Liberty, from which
we annex some startling extract_s._ It is one
ofthe severest rebukes administered to the
people flattering demagogues of the day.-—--
‘Well may the -editor intimate his dissent,
as he does, "Ifan enemy had done it,” &.c.
Let the reader ponder these extracts. After
speaking of the ever varying follies exhibit-
.ed by this “intelligent people,” who are so
much to be praised by men who seek their
confidence only to betray. it, the writer pro-
ceeds.
“To praise the people here for their vir-
tue and intelligence is either to show that
we feelfourselves above them, and praise
them solely because we wish to use them;
or it is simply praising ourselves, boasting
of our own virtue, intelligence and capacity.
The people should beware of the honeyed
voices perpetually sounding their praises.
* * 1‘ *
confidence in the virtue, intelligence, and ca-
pacity of the people? Do we really mean
to say that the people, acting individually
or collectively, never do and never can do
any wrong? Whence, then, comes all this
wrong of which every body is complaining ?
The people are virtuous,—whence, then,
the vice, the crime, the immorality, the irre-
ligion, which threaten to deluge the land .7
What need of swords, pistols, bowie knifes,
jails, penitentiaries, pains, penalties, laws,
judges and executioners I’ Vhat need of
schools, teachers, preachers, prophets and
rulers? Nobody is so mad as really to pre-
tend tlflt nothing among us is wrong. Let
alone private life, go merely into public life,
enter the halls of justice and legislation—is
all right here? No, every body complains:
every body finds somewhat to condemn;
some one thing, some another. And yet
who has done this of which every body is
complaining? The people. What hear we
from every quarter but denunciations of this
or that measure of public policy, of the
profligacy of the government, or its adminis-
tration? And after all who is in fault? Vllhose
is the government? The people's. The
people are sovereign, and of course the gov-
ernment and in its administration, the laws
and their executors, are just what the people
will they should be. Is it not strange, if
the people always perceive the right, and
perceiving, always‘ do it, that nevertheless,
where they are supreme, and in whatever is
done by them there yet should be so much
wrong done?
* =~ .=k -i
Vile have heard so much said about the
wisdom and intelligence of the people, that
we perhaps are 21 little sore on the subject,
and may therefore be disposed to exaggerate
their folly and wickedness. But we have
seen enoitgh to satisfy us, that ifwe mean by
Democracy the form of government that
rcstsfor its wisdom and Justice on the in-
telligence (tnrl 1.-i'rtue ofthe people alone, it
is (1. great hurnlmg. The facts which we
have brought forward prove it so: nay more
than in destroying all guaranties, and in
relying solely on the wisdom and virtue of
the people, we are destroying the very con-
dition of good government.
it: ,1. i * -
This brings us back to the old question.
Are the people competent to govern them-
selves? VVliat have we said concerning the
virtue and intelligence of the people, has
been said for the express purpose of proving
that they are not competent to govern them-
selves. \Ve confess here to what we know
in the eyes ofoiir countrymen is "damnable
heresy :” btit an’_ though they should bu rn
us at the stake, we must tell them this notion
of theirs about self government is all moon-
shine; nay, a very Jack o’Lantern, and can
serve no better purpose if followed, than to
lead them from the high road, and plunge
them in the mire ofthe swamp, from which
to extricate themselves will be no easy mat-
ter. The very wordits:-lf implies a contra-
ditcion. There is government only where
there is that which is goi:ernc(l. In what is
called self government, the governor and the
governed are one and the same, and there-
fore no government. That which governs
is that which is governed; but how can the
governor be governed, or the governed the
governor? We assure our readers, we are
not playing on terms, nor squibbling about
words. In this doctrine of selfgovernmeiit,
the people as the governed, are absolutely
indistinguishable from tho peoople as gov-
ernors. Tell us wherein this doctrine of
self government differs from no govern-
merit?
Good Governmcnt.—-'l‘he best tamer of
colts that was ever knowii in Massachu-
setts, never allowed whip or spur to be
used; and the horses he trained never need-
ed the whip. Their spirits were unbroken
by severity, and they obeyed the slightest
impulse of the voice or rein, ii ith the most
animated promptitude; but rendered obedi-
ent to affection, their vivacity was always
restrained‘; by graceful docility. He said
it was with children, if accustomed to heat-
ing they would not obey without it. But if
managed with untring gr-ntlensss, united
with -consistent and very agreeable firmness,
the victory once gained was gained forever.
In the face of all these facts, the world
goes on manufacturing whips, spurs,gallows,
and chains; while each one carries within
his own soul a divine substitute for these
devil’s inventions; with which he might
work miracles, inward and outward, if he
would. ’
The First of April. —-A train ofcars on
Saturday last, at Concord,'passed over a
uian lying on the track, and severed his head
from his body. The cars were stopped, the
passengers got out, the mutilated body was
picked up, when it was discovered that the
body was only a man ofslraw. The person
who had picked up the head came to his
senses, and found that be was holdinga large
red cabbage, of which the blood which had
been discovered upon the track proved to be
the juice. A by-stander happening to recol-
lect that it was the first day of April, the
mystery was explained—the passengers re-
sumed their seats, and the train ‘was again

LATER FROM CHINA.
Great Fire and Riot at Canton.
By the ship Delhi, from China, we have
‘received Canton papers to December 12th,
and Hong Kong to the l5th,being a fort-
night later than our previous nd vices.
There was an alarming riot at Canton on
the 7th, in which the British. Dutch and
Creek hongs, or factories, were totally de-_
strayed, together with a large amount of
property.
The Journal of Commerce publishes a
very interesting letter from Canton, dated
Dec. 16th, giving an account of a great riot
and fire-there on the 7th ofthat month. It
had its origin in the deadly hatred which
exists between the native and foreign resi-
dents, and in the obstinate determination of
the Chinese that the British, in spite of the
treaty, shall not have a foothold upon th
territory of the Celestial Empire. -
TheJournal of Cornmerce’s_correspondcnt
says, Dr. and Mrs. Parker arrived here a
few days before me. Mrs. Parka.-r’s appear-
ance in Canton produced a great excitement
of curiosity. She kept very quiet, and did
not expose herself to public view more than
was absolutely necessary. Her only appear-
American square, and then only in the even
ing. Some of the Hong Merchants did not
think it prudent for her to remain here. .A
few days after, a Mrs. Isaacson, the wife ofa
captain ofan English vessel, came to visit
Mrs. P. and remained with her. This in-
creased the excitement, but.con_ipany created
courage, and the ladies became more hold
to gratify their curiosity to see and know
something of this most extraordinary people,
their city, public buildings, customs, hotels,
&c. etc. The first attempts passed over with-
out accident, and gave them an opportunity
to see many curious things. In this time
two English women came up from Wham-
poa. and stopped at a gentleman's factory in
the English I-long. They were much more
bold, went in chairs to several places, to sev-
eral shops, &'.C. etc. also walked openly in the
Company's garden. This further increas-
edfithe excitement, and the Hong merchants
expressed much fear that it would produce
evil, and every where was expressed a strong
dislike to the English generally. Placards
were posted up,calling on the people to resist
and opposcthc treaty with the English.
The excitement continued until at length
the British factories were fired by the Chi-
nesc. The conflagration was a very large
one and threatened the destruction of the
American far-tories—but amid all the confu-
sion and excitement it appears that when A-
mericans or their property were known, no
violence was offered. But they were never-
theless in great danger. The British facto-
ries were burning in the rear ofthe Aineri-
can factories, and there was a mob of thou-
sands of infuriated Chinese in front of the
latter. The Americans witliin began to de-
spair ofsuccor, when re-lief appeared in the
way described by the corresponrlrnt above
named. ‘
‘Our situation appeared more d- spcrate;,
till, when it was fairly light, we s’aw an A-
inerican sailor, armed, but alone, in the A-‘
merican square. The poor ft-llow’s fate
seemed to us sure, but we soon saw another
and another. and then Capt. Faiulk of the
Levant, Capt. Summer ofthe Piobu.s, Capt.
Lockwood ofthe Valparaiso, and Capt. Laud
oftlie Splendid, with their boats’ crews, all
armed (25 in all.) Capt. Loud remained
with two sailors to each boat, to guard the
boats and secure our retreat to them. The
other three Captains with their men, ready
to peril their lIVf'S, their all for us, marched
through the square to the American facto-
ries, dispersing the mob as they passrd.
We opened our doors to them with feel-
ings not to be described. ' Thit these 25 men
poorly armed, should have dared such an
interference, is beyond the imagination of
man. \Vhen I reflcct upon their bold, dis-
interested conduct, I amflamazcd with aston-
ishment equalled only by admiration of the
men who have achieved it. Not only did
they come expecting to meet an infuriated
mob on their landing, but they forced and
made their way through thousands of Chi-
nese boats, whose crews all participated in
the acts and sympathised with the feelings
of that mob which these brave men were
bound to meet.’
Two British vessels were wrecked at For-
mosa, and most of their crewsand pascngers
were put to death by the Cliineseauthorities.
This affair will occasion new difficulties be-
tween the Emperor and the English.

The Boumlary Treat]/.—We are happy
to announce that evidence of an important
and conclusive character in regard to the
views of the Commissioners who negociated

North Eastern boundary, have recently been
discovered. and "will be made known to the-
public. At presentvre are only at liberty
to say that it fully sustains the America-n
claim.-Jour. Com.
VVe will add, says the Commercial Ad-
vertiser,’that the discovery has been made
among the papers of the late Peter A. Jay,
whose illu_strious father was one of the ne-
gotiators of the treaty of peace in l782—'83 ;
and the red line Maps so much discussed of
late, both in England and the United States
will be shown to be of no account.
We suppose that a number of maps were
marked with a ‘strong red line’ to facilitate
the discussions of the coiiimissioners; that

gotiators was marked-—on others that Il|SiSl.t'(l

ofeach kind was no doubt in the possession
ofcach commissioner; there were six coin-
missioners, and therefore twelve niaps—prob-
ably more, inasmuch as the commissioners
would be likely to send copies to their re-
spective Governments. This theory accoiinis
for the red line map found among Mr. Jcf'li'r-
son’s papers as well as that found in the
French archives. -
Murderous aflray in_ the Pcnnsylvmiia.
Legislature. —A scene occurred in the House
of Representatives of the Pennsylvania Leg-
islature, on Saturday last, that would have
disgraced Arkansas.
The Slate Capital Gazette, published at
arrisburgh, contained on Saturday morn-
ing, a paragraph intimating that Mr. Mc-
Gowan, the representative from Moyanicn-
sing, in the county of Philadelphia, was in-
duced to change his vote on the second day’s
trial for the election of a State. printer, by
the promise ofan office in the Custom house
in case he gave his vote for the Tyler can-
didate. After the paper had been distribu-
ted, the House, which ‘was then engaged in
considering the bill for the sale of the main
line of the State Canals and Railroads, Mr.
McGowan left his seat, and approached Mr.
Bratton. publisher of the Gazette, who stood
by the Speaker's chair. asked him, it he
were the author of of the off.-nsive article.
On his replying in the affirmaitve, Mr. Mc-
Gowan swore at hiiu, spit tobacco juce in
his face, and thereupon ensued a combat in
the progress of which l\'lcGowan first struck
his antagonist with ii chair, and then drew a
dirk knife from his bosom, at the sight of
which Mr. Bratton fled. McGowan pur.-ued
and plunged his uplifted knife into Bratton's
back. It struck onthe shoulder blade, with
force sufficient to bend the dirk nearly doub-
le. The resistance of the bone prob.-ihly sav-
ed Bratton's life. McGowan was prevented
from repeating the blow by the interposition
ofthe members. After order was restored
a committee of five was appointed to investi-
gate the matter. McGowan was afterwards
arrested and held to bail in.$l000, to answer
the charge of assault atid battery with intent
