Boston CarrcKpondents. Bostox, Mass., May 20, 1532. D Cliixmi ! I will not attempt a letter but merely "Itemise" in Imitation of one of Bro Hibben"s correspondents. The "Maine Liquor LaW pased the Mass. Lejrlslature but was Tetoed by the Governor. The legislative act passed with this proviso its approval by the people. The Governor's reason for vetoing was the mode of decision by the people which the legislature had said should be by open ballot secret ballot is to fold and seal the ticket or put it in an envelop. The Governor intimated that if referred to the people for their approval or rejection by secret vote or ballot ho would have given the law his signature. This law is the thing needed East and Vot, North and South. I have visited Maine, and from personal inquiry and observation am satisfied of it propriety. Of course it Is easier to carry out the requirements of the law in Maine than it would lie in Indiana. But with all our disabilities arising from any and every source, it is the law we need and I hope and pray we may have It God hasten the day. Those persons who
do not examine this law in all its features will be very

So say I, and, thank God ! it is a good Whig doctrine. My friend from Georgia and myself, though our homes are so far asunder, on this great question "see eye to eye," as do all good Whigs. No, sir, no Baltimore or Philadelphia Convention can make a platform for me. I am an American citizen; I am a freeman yet, and, with the blessings of God, I will remain one."
Compromise. Should one half, or any part of
the present State, at any time hereafter, be converted into a slave State, and be so admitted into the Union, it would lje a gross violation of the letter of the Compromise. We do net suppose that any trick or circumvention in this behalf was intended or thought of by Southern gentlemen. And we say to them, that we expect them also to abide by the Compromise in good faith, and we of the North expect to do the same.
