Massachusetts, and says that "sny expen-
ses which Massae huseus may incur after

joint fund" that is, the fund pledged TO
Massachusetts. Now this is no, true. The
stale prisoners aud state paupe,s are bur-

ALFRED CONTENTION.

This convention was 70 heated in i'm
agination that they have almoff wholly
overlooked the expenfes Of new govern
ment. The adlrefs is itfelf one Of the
seakeft that has appeared on the fubjee.
The old detected and Tefuted falfehood
of D.Ioo.ooo cxpenfe to Maine towards
the fuppoft Of the prefent government, is
ulhered forth in round numbers to help
out the "pamrhiet' and The memorable
8 memorial" They are all Of the fame
fchool. and are equally dettirute of truth,
as is clearly proved BY the treafurer's re.
report and the law apportioning taxa,ion.
We ind in the front rank of this meet
ing, men who expect with confidence
that the people viii pay them wei: for
their fervices-and that they will be pro.
NOTED to honour and good livings. Il
could not therefore be expected that they
would alarm the people BY telling them
in their fpeeches, how much money they
depend upon for their future iervices, az
members Of the new Gate.
Il is true, Mr.. King itated that he ex.
pect: nothing from the people as the re-
ward of his revolutionary labours. A
gentleman of his tlanding ought not to be
discredited, when in this public manner
he disclaims all views of promotion and
emoiumrnt from the new government.
Still it would have been aa act Of Juice
to the people, and perhaps of kindnets in
MIR, King, TO have told them plainly tina,
for this new bauble they are in purfuit
Of, they mutt be burthened with double
taxes and numerous holt Of office hold.
ers who viii forever cling with rapacious
hands to the vital interets ofthe commus
nifty.
Such mode Of treating the fubiect
would have fet that knowledge before the
people which is eG ntial to enable then,
to act underitandingly. Who !. to pay
for all this new honour which we are to
acquire from what fome gentlemen are
pleated to term independence I The
people. Who are to receive the pay
Their leaders in the work of sep aration.
Is it not fair to tell them plainly what they
mutt pay if they create multitude Of
new offices This is kind of infor.
nation which is vatt'y more valuable t.
them than the anciene history Of few
families in which they have no intcreit
at all.
There is another piece Of information
which particularly interefs the people Of
York county and ougnr not to have
been kept from their view, and that is,

Norval and others that the act provides Tor
our being taxed only one year after the sep
aration, to old Massachusetts. What a
fine saving We should have made in ten
years if the act had provided for laying

the richer we shaligrow.

TUESDAY, March s6.

Several bills received their second reading
& a resolution moved the other day by Mr.. Dana
to request the President to lay before the Senate
statement of the progress made m survey of
the Coast of the United States, YVES agreed to.
The Senate then resumed the consideration of
the Bank bill
Mr.. Mason of N. II Withdrew the motion he
had yesterday made, with view hereafter to re.
new it and moved to amend the bill in the part
which authorizes the bank to issue notes payable,
by add ng thereto the following proviso
PrOuidcd, That all bills or notes so 10 be issued
by said CORPORATION, shall be made payable on
denand, other than bills OF notes for the payment
OF a sum not less than dollars each, and
payable TO the order of some person or persons,
which bills it shall be lawful for said cor
Poration to make payable at any time not exceed
ing --- days from tie date thereof
This motion gave rise to considerable debate,
between those who thought such restriction ne
cessary, and those of different opinion 1t was
at leng agreed to, by yeas and nays, 90 TO IL.
This decision in favor of one amendment o.
pened he door to the proposition of a great
number of amendments which have been or viii
be proposed to the bill.
The discussion of one or two that were pro-
posed occupied the Senate until the hour of adj
journment.
