North Eastern Boundary.—\f the exposition
of facts in the enso of throe American citizens
now in jail at Fredrickton, N. B. is correctly sot
forth by the authorities of the State of Maiue,
we do not wonder that the good people of that
State should manifest some excitement on the
subject,—said individuals having been . raptured
by nn armed forco From 1 Ncw-Brunswick, with
in tho territory of Maine, as fixed by tlio com
mon arbiter to whom the question of bounda
ries tvas referred. This act of wanton aggres
sion, it soerns unavoidable to conclude, was
committed with the sanction oud support of the
of tho provincial authorities, and therefore is to
bo considered, not the act of a few lawless
militia men, hut the deliberate conduct of tho
Government of New Brunswick. Notwithstand
ing- this tho Governor aud council of Maine
have reccomineuded that no retaliatory meas
ures should be resorted to by the people of that
State, until the subject can lie laid before Con
gress for their consideration and direction- In a
few weeks that body will be in session, nnd tho
people of Maiue may rest assured that effec
tual measures will he taken for tho protection of
their rights. Knowing tho conciliatory disposi
tion of the British and Atncneau Governments,
nnd their mutuni desire for the preservation of
peace, we > have no doubt but 'that tho affair
will bo amicably ntjjusluil. At the same time
tho Authorities ol Now Bnjuswick ought to nn-
derstand, that this - game of petty iuvasion can
bo as easily played on one side os the other
and that if tho compliment is not reciprocated,
it is owing solely to the greater spirit of for
bearance on tho part of their American neigh
hors. ' The Yankees are . proverbially cool it
their movements, but if called to act in the pre
mises, will aet vigorously aud effectually.—New
