In consequence Of an application of
number Of individuals, to the Select
men of this town, meeting Of the
citizens was called on Wednesday last,
to see if the town would take any mea-
sures TO have the District of Maine
erected into a separete State. The
subject was debated through the prin4
cipal part of the day, and conducted
mostly by those in favour Of separa-
ton. In the course of the debate, a
motion was made, the purport of which
was, that the measure at present was
unnecessary and inexpedient, and that
the further consideration Of it ought to
to be dismissed. In support Of this
motion it was urged, that no objection
to the present Constitution Of Massal
chusetts was offered, but it was az
knowiedged by all, that the administers
ton OF justice throughout the District
OF Maine, was equal and prompt that
to support separate government
would greatly increase. the State taxes,
and be attended with great exPence and
embarrassment TO the coasting trade Of
this District.
Those in favor Of a separation were
Of opinion, that it would be more for
the benefit Of the community to have
the seat of government in some part Of
the District, than in Boston, and that it
would effect the public property in
favor of Maine. On the motion for
dismissing the further consideration of
the subject, being put, it passed in the
negative.
A motion was then made, to refer
the consideration Of the subject to
Committee, which prevailed and
committee was appointeu, TO report
thereon, at an adjourned meeting, on
the ID Monday Of July next.
Samuel Free eman, Daniel TlsEeu, George
Braddauy, Elilianl E7dgery, DanicE
Tucker, Satnon Chase, EHgh 1lcLeI-
ian, StehheH LongJcllc7y, ana LemueI
Wceks, were appointed.
No party motives were introduced
during tbs discussion of the subject
the advocates for, as well as those a.
galnst the measure, consisted Of those,
who, are oil different political opinions.
Should i be inferred from majority's
being III favour of a commitment, that
the citizens Of this town in general are
for separation, it would not be true
on the contrary, we have every reason
to believe, at the adjournment, large
majority Will be against a separation.
