SEPARATION OF MAINE.
Eor IA Portland Gnseile

FUT me GOTttdHu GdS6UC.
The opposers of separation are caliedupon
by every principle of honor and truth 70 stand
firm and immulable ia the course they have
adopted. The solicitude of the Boston separ
ation-committee and the constant call that i
made upon all people by the advocates of the
measure to join them deserve no Kind Of atten
ton from the friends of union and good gov
ernment. Its the worst kind Of foxy 10 take
advice from men from whose doings or for
mer occasions the people have been admon
shed to take warning. There is, probably,
scarce town or village in Maine where there
is not some busy separation agent declaring
on every favorable occasion that some one OF
other of the former Opposers, have become
converts to the doctrine OF separation, when
the assertion is without the least foundation in
truth This is one mode. among many Others
equally unjustihabe, adopted to gain prose
lytes and possibly may have some effect T.
create for moment belief that the honest
and firm opposition to this project is dimin
shed in its number. Rut it is to be hoped that
all rejecting men will disregard tins course Of
conduct and pass directly on in the straight
path Of duty. The friends Of union, and
hrm friends of the people and their best IN
terests, will not be easily led to imagine, that
any great reformation 10 the principles that
guided the leaders Of the Brunswick conven-
ton has yet taken place, nor indeed is it 70
be expected. Ambition is extremely way
ward in its calculations when raised 10 pitch
of frenzy. 1t disorders both the head and the
heart and units the unhappy subjects of it to
be trusted with the destnies of the people in
their hands. The friends therefore Of oar
constitution and laws are loudly, emphaticaIly
adnonished by the character Of past events, as
we'll as by the dreary prospects Of the future
TO adhere with constancy and unanimity to
the principles which they have always ayow
ed, and which they cannot dismiss, even if
new powers were, now actually brought into
existence clothed with all the attributes of
sovereignty. There can be no desire to fol-
low where unsound morals have ed the wav--
where danger pretends to have been witness
ed-where the plainest principle of truth have
been departed from aud that 100 triumphant
Iy, as IN the unhallowed proceedings al the
Brunswick convention--in such footsteps there
can be no desire TO follow, TO the doings OF
such rulers there can he no desire in the re-
hectlng mind to submit, aud il is only to be
done when il is no longer avoidable, and even
then, the dictates of common sense would point
out the danger of embarking in The current in
disordered ship Let Us therefore, as on the
former occasion maintain our rights, and trust,
as we then did, TO the good sense the people
70 withhold the reign Of government from dan
gerous and deceptive hands.

UNION.
Il fen nnefies nnd hints.

Who is to paw the taxes of the new govern
ment to keep up the dignity gift?
The people.
And who are to be Governors, and judges,

Not the people.
What interest then have the people in this
affair?
The honour Of a new government.
But what honour do the people get by il?
None.
What profit aore-For what then are
they to have their taxes doubled and doubled
again to carry new government into opera
tion
Because their intended masters
request them TO vote for new
government and intend to fill the
offices.

HGrrowing small Grain in the Spring - We
have not room now, for an essay, if the subject
required, but we cannot permit another week
to pass without recommending the Farmer tC
pass the harro1V oUer has fields Of small grain.-
We are confident it must have fine effect, in
giving it an early start, and enabling it to
out grow most of its enemies.-The reason
ing is plain and obvious 1t acts like fresh
blowing of corn or tobacco, just before gooo
rain--the surface Of the ground is softened
about the stalk, gives il room TO expand, and
numerous bugs and insects, are routed, cover
ed over, and destroyed.
AT all events, il is easy TO make the trial
Let few breadths be harrowedthe same way
the grain was plowed IN, numerous plants will
be torn up, and the operation will, apparent,
lY, menace universal destruction but it will
be found, that'wbat remains, will spread and
thrive much better and more than make up for
the little destroyed.
Perhaps, for this operation, the common cid
wooden tooth harrow, with blunt teeth, would
answer as well, il fnot better, than any ether
and it is well il it can be made to answer ana
purpose ageH. Al all events this narrowing is
strenuousIy recommended by some Of the best
Pennsylvania iarmers-therefore. we repeat.
make the trial on small scale, and then you
will knoOv, another year.-.amer7caa Farmer.
