he following letter to the archbishops and
bishops of France:

GUBERNATORIAL RENCONTRE.
The Portland Advertiser publishes an
extract from a letter from Ohio, describing
singular rencontre between Oen. Boyti
lon of Ohio and the Hotspur Governor of
Michigan.. The wiiter was a witness of
the scene which took place at Detroit: It
appeara lhat a conversation arose relative
to the boundary line and the admission of
Michigan into the Union. Offended at
some remarks inadvertently dropped while
dining at the American Hotel, Mason veil
ed the carving knife and made an attempt
to heart him. Gen. B. saw his movement
in time to ward olf the blow wrenched the
kjiife fiom him threw l.im on the floor,
p4Juafoot on hiin and tore his coal to
pieces-Ahen threw him into the street,
seized sroaifed' horse whip and give hiin a
severe flagellationV which the writer re

attempts to enforce his arguments by means
or the carving-knife. If his conduct was
as represented, he has shown - himself un
worthy of the station he occupies. He
should forthwith be degraded from his of

" Our community has been thrown into a state
of excitement in the last few days, by aeveral
shocking murders. 1 he first was the case of an
overseer wbo killed a negro on the plantation of
John B. Pease. Verdict of the inquest " delib

waa brouirhl hi town, examined before a justice,

second was the murder of a Mr. Harris, who was
killed by a man pamed Bird and his son H ade

There is nothing that Mr. VanTBuren
dreatls so much aa an organized and sjiirit
ed opposition at the approaching President
ijul campaign. He has reason 'to apprej
lu'iid'tiie result "of union and energy, and
is therefore exceedingly anxious to create
the impression that the Government candi
date"! oilier worda the nominee of the
President, he is invulnerable, and that re
sixianco being hopeless, submission is the
most prudent stepr Inr pursuance of this
plan of opealione, he commands one wing
of the armv of office-holders, and General
Jackson commands llio olhcr, and they sur
round the people, calling upon them to lay
dowu their arms, ami oll'sritig to parole
them, on condition of their taking no part
against Mr.' Van Buren's projects as long
as his atiminiatration lists. Nothing is
easier for the people lo accomplish than W
cut their way through this line of mercina
ries, and they are bound ao to doby.every
consideration of patriotism anu puouo goou.
