Totes on the Separation Question

AS the separation question has excited con.
siderable interest, we presume i. will be graf
flying TO our readers to see the state of the
votes on the subject. In the counties of Lin
coin, Hancock, Penobscot and Washington,
there is large majority against the measure.
In the counties of Cumberland, Kennebec,
Somerset and Oxford, there are large MAORI
ties in favour of separation. BY the number
OF votes given in many towns in York county,
1t is evident that the people take but little in
terest in the measure. In Alfred, where one
OF the prime instigators of separation resides,
there were only ten votes for it. This looks
rather squally.
The would-be Governors, Judges, Sherifls.
Secretaries, Treasures and multitude of
other hungry, voracous offce-seekers, are
somewhat down in the mouth, to find that
large proportion of the freelnen of Maine are
not so duped by their falsehoods and mis-
representations respecting the separation, las to
lay down and become stepping stones for
them TO mount into power and place, and
thereby have an opportunity of taxing them
IN order that they may enjoy fat salaries, and
rot in power and wealth at the publick ex-
pense.

terms, are Implicated, and have been ar

spiracy would have fucceeded. The let

and inform that while fishing about three

by the barges of British gun brig, and
