is not an instance OF the kind. We find that
decided majority Of the people near the sea
coast from Falmouth TO Eastport, who have
voted upon the question, as also cons'dera-
bic majority of those who have voted IN each
of the counties of Lincoln, Hancock and
Washington, are opposed to separation. we
find also, that only few voters more than one
fourth part of fine whole number in Maine have
appeared in favour of the measure. II IS well
known to the undersigned, that many, who
have not voted, believed that the Legislature
would at least require considerable majority
of the qualified voters Of Maine to act in the
affirmative, before they would sanction any
measure tending TO separation. When there
fore we take this view Of the subject, we do
not apprehend, that if there were no consti-
tutional difficulty, the Legislature would conn-
tenance the attempt, but as the senatorial dis
trict TO which we belong is placed in situa-
ton, as to its senators, 50 peculiar, and as we
find, that iEthe towns in that Senatorial Dis
trict, il represented in the House OF Represen-
tatives agreeably TO the votes given upon this
subject, would have more than two thirds OF
the members in opposition to separation. We
trust the honorable Legislature will justify the
undersignedi in entering their solemn protest
against the separation, or submitting the ques.
ton to any section OF the Commonwealth !;
and in praying in the name of their conslitu-
ents, that ii any measure should be adopted,
tending to produce separation OF Maine from
Massachusetts,, the counties OF Lincoln, Han
cock and Washington may be permitted to
remain part Of the Commonwealth. That
tract of country, together with the unaPpro-
priated land OF the state which may be an
nexed 70 it, will form the greater part OF
Maine, and no inconsiderable part Of Massa-
chusetts. We conceive from the petitions
lately presented to the Legislature, and our
knowledge of the views Of the people in the
eastern counties Of Maine, that an union with
Massachusetts proper will be equally conso.
nant with their interests and their feelings.

To the Honorable Senate and House of Represen-
tatives OF the Commonwealth Of Massachusetts
June session, A. ID. 1916.
The undersigned committee of the
members of the house of Representatives
from the counties Of Lincoln, Hancock and
Washington, opposed to separation, finding
that certain members of the Legislature have
adopted the unprecedented course, of petition
ing the body 10 which they belong. urging the
Legislature to give its consent, that Maine
shcuid be separated from this Commonwealth,
an finding among those petitioners the three
Senstors from the Counties Of Lincoln, Han
cock, Washington and Penobscot, notwi,h.
stauding majority of their constitu, us who
have voted upon the question, are opposed to
the separation, and well knowing that many
ofthe people Of those counties, who have not
voted upon the question, from their construc-
ton Of the resolve, expected to be considered
in opposition to the measure ASK leave respect
fully to represent, that, under circumstances
so peculiar, they are impelled by serious
consideration OF duty to their constituents
and themselves, to enter their protest against
the separation and all measures tending to that
end not only as inexpedient and extremely
preudicial TO the interest OF their constituents.
but in their view OF the subject unconslitution-
al. Upon examining the constitution of this
Commonwealth, we find the people inhabit-
ing the territory formerly called the prov
ince of Massachusetts, bay. did solemly and
mutually agree with each other to form them
selves into free, sovereign and independent
body polite or state, by the name ofihe Com
monwealth of Massachusetts. The polite
body is formed by a.voluntary association #
ind .iduals, il is a civil compact by which the
whole people covenant with each citizen, and
each citizen with the whole people. g The

Now, fellow-citizens you get small in
!. sight at the state Of your public accounts
and monies which have been of more than
three years standing. Be you assured there
is ten times the amount OF the sums due
within the last FIVE years, and principally
Rowing from the war. What is the amount
of your floating war debt, in contradis,inc-
ton to your funded debt No one will
pretend to say-but it is between ten and
thirty millions of dolars--probably nearer
to the last. What is the amount OF unset
tied balances in the hands of contractors
paymastets, &c. SC! No man will hazard
guess, but they will constitute millions
more-when We &c, hold of the list Of bal
ances from the war department, We will
give them, and then let the folks stand
aghast
Reflect on these things, good people,
ana say. if this is the way you wish your ac-
eouns ard money matters to be managed,
and If you are willing to be eternally taxed
to lut those taxes into the hands of such
men. This is but speck we have given
ycu-a mere glance at the corruption, the
Encouragement, the negligence of our ru

from accountant Of navy and treasury of
neglected balances due the United States,
Is shout four millions Of dollars and moth
ing said from the war department, except
OF those balances which have been trans.
ftrred to the treasury
Thus we have arrived at about four mil
lions Of dollars, from under their own Off
cial HANDS which is corruply or negIigently
suffered to lie dead to the government,
whilst the people are actually taxed TO make
up that verv deficiency. Ifthis is Justice
it his is right, then we confess ourselves
wrong.
