NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.

We are authorized TO say that conventional
line of boundary, with its various conditions
and equivalents, has been agreed on by the Elk
ecutve and the British Special Envoy, with
the unanimous consent of the Commissioners
Of Maine and Massachusetts. We congratu-
late all parties upon this happy and honorable
result.
TERM5.-We have asOn to know that the
Commissioners of the two States of Maine and
Massachusetts, have signife ed their assent TO a
line Of boundary between Maine and New
Brunswick.
Every body knows that the territory in dis
pute embraces all the region Of the Upper st.
John, and the general understanding now is,
that this region is to be divided into unequal
parts; the largest, and by far the most valuable,
to be assigned 10 Maine, tog ether with consider
atoms connected with the navigation of the ST.
Johns, (both sides of the lower OF which belong
to England.) of the greatest Importance to the
value of the timber growing on its branches.
Other important arrangements in different parts
of the line, hitherto unsettled, in various places
between Maine and the Lake Of the Woods, are
rumored as likely to take place.
We doubt not the Administration knows
what it is about, and in due time we shall see.
Let it be remembered, that General Jackson Of
fered to give to MAINE ONE MILLION OF acres OF
public land in 1882, as loan to induce her to
come to an agreem ent; the land TO be sold by
the United States, and the whole proceeds to be
paid to Maine without deduction. And other
indemnify, Of course, to be provided for Massa-
chusetts which State owned one-half the land.
An agreemen to this effect, in substance; was
signed, on the part of the United States, by Ed
ward Living ston, Secretary of State, Louis
McLane, Secretary of the Treasury, and Levi
Woodbury., Secretary of the Navy, and on the
part of Maine by w. P. Preble, Reuel Williams,
and Nicholas Emery.

BANK-VETO.

We have lately had occasion to look into the
proce dings of several meetings and conven-
tons, which preceded the late Presidential cleo
ton, for the purpose of refreshing our recollec-
ton as to the motives and objects which impell
ed the parties to the conflict, and our attention
has been particularly called to the great Wing
Convention which assembled in Richmond from
all parts Of the State of Virginia in 1910. That
State and her People have become almost pro-
verbal tor their devoted attachment to Republi-
can principle, and to them we have been most
accustomed to look for sound instructions in
politics. We, therefore, recur to the proceed
ings of the Wing party with eager curiosity in
order to ascertain whether 50 large number of
her citizens, as composed that party, had re-
nounced the political opinions Of their fathers,
and rushed into the embraces of Federalism
We desired particularly to know what with
them had been the issues of the last campaign.
In what light they regarded the questions of the
Bank and the Veto power, and whether they
had sustained General Harrison as Bank or
anli-Bank man, In favor Of the Veto or against
it. We had great curiosity also to learn in
what light they regarded Mr.. Tyler.
The following extracts from their able ad-
dress speak language upon these subjects not
to be misunderstood AT page 7, we find this
language "Fellow citizens We commend
General Harrison to you as a Republican in
principle and practice; and, in further proof of
our assertion, we submit to you the subjoined
letter written by General Harrison seventeen
years ago, breathing the spirit of an old fashion
ed Republican, and showing that his opinions
are not made for the occasion, but that his SEN
tments have been uniform and always Repub-
lican." We give from the letter a single ex-
tract, as showing his opinion on the subject Of
the Bank, and we have reason to know that,
during the Presidential contest, he sent that let
ter TO friend here as an exponent of his views
and opinions: 81 believe that the charter Civ
en- to the United States Bank was unconstiu-
tional-it being not one of those measures ne
cessary to carry any of the expressly
granted powers into effect" So he vo-
ted in the House of Representatives in
1919, and so he declared in his celebrated Day
ten speech in 1910. A further extract from that
letter thus thrown before the country, which was
the OnlUUOietH Vi Tue w my ldln III virginia,
is worthy Of all note 81 deem myself Re-
publican of what is commonly called the Jeffer-
sonian school, and believe in the correctness of
that Interpretation of the Constitution which
has been given in the writings of that enllghten-
ed statesman who was at the head of the party,
and others belonging TO it, particularly the cele-
brated Virginia resolutions during the Preslden-
cy Of Mr.. Adams"
The Convention also set forth, in their adj
dress, letter written by him in 1883, from
which we extract the following, on the subject
of the Veto power. Speaking OF the President
