New YORK WEEKLY WING.

The second Annual Volume of the New York
Weekly Wing is this day submitted to its patrons
and the public. During the brief year of its exis-
tence, it has been favorably received, and now en-
joys steadily increasing patronage and sale of4 or
1000 copies per week.
The political character Of The Wing is fully indi-
Gated by its title 1t will support the of Con-
stitutional Liberty, Social Order and the suprem-
ecy of the laws with its whole heart and soul, and
expose corruption pecuation, Jacobnsm, disorgan-
izaiion and demasoguism in high places. with no
mealy mouthed phraseoogy or craven spirit. 1t
will call knavery and hypocrisy by their right names
and hold them up to the contempt of deceived and
despolled people. Briefly 1t will labor to restore
the good old days when integrity and ability were
the chief passports to public station and when high
funetonaries seriously implicated in peculaon and
gross neglect of duty would have scorncd to hold of
flee an hour until the charges were on trial disap
proved or overthrown. 1t twill fearlessly contend
for honesty, fidelity and true Republicanism. 1t
will war against the corruptng influence of Exec
tive patronage, tn, seduction of Power and expo
diency, and earnestly contend for genuine Rctrench-
ment and Reform.
In its non-polltcal features, the Wing will strive
TO be instructive, useful and entertaining. The news
ofthe day will be carefully made up from an am
pie list Of exchanges in this country and in Europe
aided by valuable Foreign Correspondence. Reg
ular reports Of commercial transactions will be given
SIC Sc.
The greatest vigilance will be used to afford a
view ofwhatever is TRANSPORTING throughout the world
Finally, as large portion of the paper (about ono
foufth)will be devoted to original and selected Lit
erature as can possibly be spared from the more
pressing demands of the times. In short, labor or
zeal will be spared to reader it universally interest
ing and acceptable.

lothe Senate and House Of Representatives.
| herewith lay before you certain docu-
ments that have been transmitted to me by
the Hon John Forsyth, Secretary of State,
to wit Message of the President of the
United States, transmitted to Congress on
the Goth Of Feb. letter from MIR. Fox, the
British Minister, to Mr.. Forsyth under
date of23d of the same month and the
reply OF the letter OH the Goth; letter Of
MIR Fox to Mr. Forsyth of the Goth ut. !;
Memorandum of an agreement between
Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth of the same date /;
and two letters from Mr. FORSYTH to the
Governor Of this State, under dates of the
9th and 29th ult
By the agreement referred to It will be
perceived that Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth
without claiming to act with authority have
recommended that 'Her Majcsty's forces
will not seek to expel, by military force.
the armed party which has been sent BY
Maine into the district bordering ON the
Aroostook river but that the government
of Maine will voluntarily, and without
unnecessary delay, withdraw beyond the
bounds ofthe disputed territory any armed
force now within them /; and that if future
necessity should arise for dispensing notori-
Gus trespassers, or protecting public proper
ly from depreciation by armed force the
operation shall be conducted by concert
jointly or separately, according to agree
merit between the governments of Maine
and New Brunswick y This il is said is

dictlon on the Aroosiook !: she NUT now
cease to claim the right to do so hereafter,
under this pretended agreement, which the
United States never made. And the con-
clnslon to which | come on The whole is
this The understanding actually had
has either been misconceived of wilfully
nisinterpreted, by the British authorizes or
officers in America. Ii does not seem
even to have been SO understood in En-
gland. At the very outset OF the affair, in
1897, the proposal Tor an understanding, il
appears, came from Mr. Canning, who
suggested the propriety Of sustaining on
both sides, pending the suit, from any act
OF sovereignty over the contested territory"
= Here is The suggestion Of The understand
ing. And whatever statements of it occur
IN the correspondence Of the subordinate
fnnctlonarles of the two Governments from
that time to this, | have remarkable dec
laration made by Lord Palmerston, the
present Foreign Secretary, in debate in
the House of Commons, on the 9th April,
1887, as find it reported in the London
Times.
'ssir Robert Peel said Is the Province
OF Maine in the occupation of any part Of
the disputed territory
'fLord Palmerston replied The dispu-
ted territory, or at any rate the greater part
OF IT, is in our occupation at present, upon
the understanding that neither we, nor any
other party, shall exercise any Of the rights
belonging 10 permanent territorial soureigntu.
"Sr r. Peel: do not see how any ar
rangement of that sort can be made. The
land must be occupied by one party or the
other Is is occupied entirely by British
subjects ?
Lord Palmerston 1t is not settled at
all at present; il is occupied by vast forests
OF wood, and it is understood that neither
party is to cut the wood until the differen-
ces are settled in one way or the other."
These two declarations are each very
different from that of Sir John Harvey, who
undertakes an assertion by force, Of exclu-
sive jurisdiction, not only unsupported by,
but in direct opposition to, the declaration
Of Lord Palmersion In resisting this pre-
tension of Sir John Harvey, the Govern
ment of Maine is right, as he is who'll,
wrong in making the pretenson. 1t is
/ pretension which connot and will not b,
tolerated by the United States.

The Woodstock Times seems to take
credit for its humanity for recommending
that the British authorities do not accept
the services of 1000 of the Mohawk Indians,
in Canada, which it says have been offered
to Sir John Colburn to aid in fighting
Maine. This formidable most Of Indian
Warriors as the Times calls them, is o

A friend handed us the following state
inent the other day, which, though not

while the crops Of my neighbors were all

MIR. Carlton is undoubtedly mistaken,
in regard to the idea that the weevil pro-
ceeds from the seed as will be seen by read
ing MIR PIumer's communication in the last
volume of the Farmer. We have never
known wheat soaked so long as this was,
and the experiment of the salt is interesting,
and proofthat it is oftentimes valuable as
stimulus. The amount of the crop was
twenty bushels. Me. Farmer.

the Government of Great Britain common
ced and pushed along their claim to our
territory, was very correctly illustrated by
a friend cf ours in conversation the other
day: "You have" said he, fine pas
ture adjoining my possessions; and, know
ing you to be pretty clever fellow, and not
apt to create a brawl about small affairs, |
occasionally turn my horse into it. Time
wears on, and finding that you possess an
unusual degree Of forbearance, | take the
liberty to keep my horse in your pasture
all the time, and perhaps turn in my oxon
to keep him company You begin to re-
monstrate, and begin to talk to you about

into the pasture my whole stock-horse,
oxen, cows, sheep and alt Again you re-
monstrate, and in terms rather more en-
phatic; and no'oI begin to talk to you OF

however, that the aforesaid horse, oxen,
