Concluding Reflections on Sepqra


A great responsibility undoubtedly re sted upon
the people Of Maine i'll regard TO this question.
Had the measure been perfectly sure beforehand
70 promote the prosperity Of the district, who
would have shrunk from its obligation or hesitat-
ed at its discharge While any doubt rename
on the other hand respecting its consequences
such as must indeed ever hang over all future po
tical events and attend upon every untried stat
Of being, what good man in society, capable d
entertaining serious reflection, but must have ap-
preached 1t with the most unaffected sensations /.
solictude And who can wonder that there
should have been serious difference Of Opinion
on such subject?
On 90 momentous concern it is perhaps i'm
possible for honest and intelligent men not to diff
fer. It a subject ofno ordinary magnitude
which required decision 1t was no Common eve Y
ry-day occurrence of little Importance whether
ii took place or not. 1t was nothing less than the
separation of state-the dissolution OF an ancient
commonwealth the severance of long suDsist-
ing, and happy come ctioa-the annuling OF old
established allegiance-the cancellation Of ties
consecrated by time and claims cherished by hab-
it-together with the institution and adoption of
a form Of government and fresh securities
for the rights off-eedom
The future and especially the final consequeu-
ces ofsuch a bold and extraordinary step in all
their latitude aud extent, and in all its influence
and bearings, upon the welfare of the district
could neither be anticipated nor ascertained. The
opinions of men-apt to be variant on all sub
jects-must necessarily be divided on such a one
as this. These cannot be expected to unite on
the greatest questions, who cannot agree entirely
IN the most tr,fing. The greatest responsibility is
incurred by parties to such proceeding, whether
as advocates or adversaries. The responsibility
is by means confined to one side. Although it
might have rested principally, it was far from be
ing devoved exclusively, upon the former OPP
position was hardly less accountable for he bene-
fits Of which itmght by success deprive the dis

The relations Of our government with Spain
are more interesting at the present moment than
with any other power. The treaty for whose
fate we are now anxious was concluded by Don
Onis and our government on the Goth OF FEBRUARY
last, and the notifications were to be exchanged
in months from that date (; that time expired
on the Goth Of August. Oar last adyces on this
subject are to the l4th Of that month by late
arrival at Portsmouth from Cadz at that date
the treaty had not ben rGhfsd. The Tumour
are so various and contradictory that It i difficult
to form settled opinion upon the question wheth-
er the treaty will 5c ratified or not; bat We think
we are safe in saying, that unless Spain has re-
ceived certain guaranty from England to ensure
her against the consequences 81 refusal sne

I WILL sell great bargain in small
L tract OF land, containing about $50
acres, more or less, lying on the Potomac
river and Monroe's creek. between the two,
on the north side said creek, and forming
the mouth, whereon William Williams has
for many years resided. This situation
would be particularly convenient for any
person who follows the water, the Creek
forming an excellent harbor, and the neigh
borhood being wealthy, constant freights
might be got. The land is susceptible of
great improvement, and is the very best
wheat land in 6l the neighborhood. As it
is presumed any person wishing to pur-
chase will first view the premises, a further
description is thought unnecessary. For
