POLITICAL SUMMARY OF TIM

The Morning Herald of yester day contains a lea-ling ar-
ticle on the subject of Mr. Harne's panegyric on Lord
Keane, which our Contemporary asserts is at variance
wit't the opinim he expressel on Friday last in the House
of Commons. on the same GMlant Officer.—The Morning
Chronicle discusses the Church-rate question at some
length, and observes that the simple abolition of the rate
wilttatisfy Dissenters, and not Dissenters only, but a large
portion of Churamen.—The Morning Post Ills some
lengthy strctures on Romanism, whose object is to show
that it is 1,-)t reasonable to suppose Ma' the Roman Ca-
tholic priests should ever bei• irndly to the

w:alth—continue; t) mantle .t itse'f in aggravated
da7 by day. The State of Maine has actually corn-
n eared, if it has not deekrert,, a delite,ate war upon the
Biitish empire, tho fullosi. g resolutions having been re-
sent'y passed by that Sta'e
" That the Governor be authorised to take immediate mea-
sures to remove the troops of the Queen of Great Britain,
now quaxterei on the territory called disputed' by the British
Government, but by the treaty of 1783, by the resolutions of
both houses of Congress passed in 18'33, and by r..peated re-
solves of the leg Mature of Maine, clearly and unequivocllly a
part of the rightful soil of this State.
" Resolved,--That the resources of this Sta!e be, and they
hereby are, placed at tho disposal of the Governor, an ! the
specific sum of 400,000 dollars be, and the same is hereby ap-
priate l out of any money in the Treasury, for the purp,se of
carrying the said resolutions into effect."
If the State of Maine, which has commenced the war
upon its own singl.: authority, is to bc I( f. to prosecute it
by its own unaided resources, little need be said in the case.
Tbir, hearev,r, is not to be expe,leci. The war, wantonly, and
in defiance of the federal government, commenced by Maine,
will b.) embraced by the whole confederation, and thus
the new spectacle of a confederation bound to take
part in tho quarr&ls of each or any of its members,
v.itllont inquiring into the justice or injustice of aese
quarrolr, will be presetit2d to the world. How 'the effeir
shall be setticd no man can predict; but it is quite plain
that the United States men are just now sclviug the prc-
llena of the darkness of the middle ages, which has puz-
zled so many of the wise and !earned, by showing that it
is an easy thing to rctrograle from ci‘ilisati m into bar-
barism, under the guidance of greediness, hatred, and
self-i iolatry. .
