But in addition to all other Arguments in
favor of Separation of Maine, it has beenas-
serted in strong language that we could main
tain government Of orr o1rn for about halfthe
sum which we now pay as our proportion of
the expense of supporting the government of
SSdchusettS-calculations as to expence, are
always interesting to the people-and they al,
ways should be. The people must always
bear the burthen, and of course it is matter
of prime importance that they should k,sozc
facts--that they should not take for granted,
what is asserted, merely because the assertion
pleases them, or because friends make the as
sertion. Fellow Citizens, you may depend
on ii as certain truth, that in case we should
become separate state, our state expencas
will exceed Sixty THOUSAND DOLLARS per
yesr-at present they are not foRrY.-In the
merit number, will be given fill and fair
statement of the annual expences of govern
ment, which must necessarily be incurred,
should we choose to dissolve our connection
with Massachusetts, the particular atten-
ton of the public is requested to this impor-
tant subject.
| shall close the present number with some
remarks as 10 the manner in which the advo-
Gates of Separation, have seen proper to ex-
hibit their statement OF expences, in late
Eastern Argus. Notwithstanding that state
ment occupied almost whole page of that pa
per, if you will re-examine il, you will find it
is nothing more than statement of the ex-
pence of government in Ney-Hampstire and
Vermont--as 10 these tao states, you will find
long and particular account you will also
find the amount OF the sum we noa9 pay TO-
wards the support of government. All this is
in staring .tgures--and it would seem to be
! exact to cent but when the writer of that
statement would give you the expence of a
neav government in Maine, what did he do ?
Did he resort to figures, and shew by catcu-
iat'on 9fitems, what such expence would a
! mount to No, there is not an tfem or figure
given. II is only asserted in round language,
that we could support government for the
same expended in either of the two states a.
bove mentioned, or for less sum-eyery
thing is left to be supplied by coajectuw-why
was not the same kind of calculation, and ex-
actness observed with regard to the expence
OF nezc government, as were given about 9TH
er governments For this plain reason--tacts
! 1Oould not ansvcr the ariters purpose. The
items ofexpence would have been so numerous
and their amount so much, that the writer was
unwilling to foot the account for public examin-
alton. In the statement TO be given in the
next number; this kind of arrangement will
be avoided--tbe particulars shall be given
the amount cast up-so that conjecture will
have nothing 10 do-but in suck a manner that
he who runs, may read and understand

NJ II. sHIRLEY,


wish the people of Maine would remember
that only seven or eight years ago the question OF
Separation submitted to them for decision and
IL was then decided in the several towns by an mn
fense majority, that such measure was inexpedi.
ent. Not quarter part were in favour of the meas
ure. wish also that the people would remember
the state OF our country since that time--we have
had nothing but commercial restrictions and war
and lis a most solemn truth that ever since the
question was last taken, we have been steadily
growing poorer and poorsr-and at present we
have no prospect of becoming any richer lis this a
time to run ourselves INTO new expences? Our AN
sUAL expences will be greatly increased, and
VIEW STATR-IfoUsE and STATg-PRIsoN would
cost at least ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS These buildings we must have and they
cannot be built for less than that SUM- Let US all
be governes by that prudence which we use 10 9TH
er affairs-f a man eight years ago, looked into
his circumstances, and after mature consideration
was satisfied that 1T was not prudent or proper for
HIM TO incur the expences of a family and new
house what should we think of this man it tomor-
row,we should see him involving himself with fami-
ly expehces, aud actually beginning to build him
new house, though he is not worth near half SO
much as he was eight years ago--every one would
say that snch man was heediess impropidegh aud
unio'se. hope the people Of Maine will act with
the same understanding as they did when they last
expressed their opinion on this interesting subject.

Washington, Oct. II.
We have published to-day an account Of
the public Meeting at New Orleans, re-
speeding the late attack on the Firebrand
by Spanish squadron.
1t would be uncandid, if not unjust. in us.
to omit stating at the same time we publish
these proceedings, thit we have private
information from New Orleans, that there
were circumstances attending this transac-
ton, which serve to palliAte its apparent
atrocity. The Information we have receiy-
ed we should not pretend to oppose to oflici-
al information; but it has the sanction of
narHe, and appears to us to require a sus-
pension Of opinion until more full nforma-
ton is received. The particular facts stated
to us by our correspondent we should lay
before our readers, if we could do so with
proprlety before we receive confirmation
of them.
Abstractedly viewed, the attack on the
Firebrand, If she was known to be an
United Sites vessel. was a most wanton
outrage, such as the Spanish Government
would not in common prudence avow or
authorize, since it is in the power Of the
United States at "a word to strike TO the
vitals Of Spain in her colonies. Ii is there
fore probable, the attack, base and bastard.
" as it is represented to have b en-, will
be instantly disavcwed by the Spansh
government, aud its authors punished.
