"a serious riot took place mere this day,
in consequences of the procession of an Or
anse Lodge of Free Masons psrading the
streets, with band of music, and dressed
out in all their insignia, with orange color
ed ribands and flags, this being the ami
versary of the battle of the Boyne.
"A party of lrishmen who were deter
mined to oppose them, assembled for that
purpose at the bottom of Shaw's Brow,
and assaulted the members of the club with
bricks, &C. by which several individuals
were very much injured, but the police
were soon on the alert and have taken five
or six of the ringleaders into custody, and
all is now quiet.

Ourpaper ofto-day will be found to be almost
| exclusively devoted to the subject Of separation
80 both pro and con.-Wtk the view here presen-
ted ofthe whole ground the public have it in their
power to act Understandings. As it is a mat
ter of deep concern to each individual in the Dis
trict Of Maine, Il behoves them, after giving the
subject that investigation and reflection which its
Importance demands to act as their wisdom and
judgment shall direct. We hope each individ-
ual will ACT, because those who do not want Of
fees under the new government will be called
upon to support those who do--all are therefore
interested in the event.-As an inducement for
those to re vigilant who have heretofore consid-
cred opposition as frutless, we can assure them
that information is reaching US from various
part of the country that our yeomanry, like the
lion aroused from his slum bers, are making the
most vigorous and active exertons to oppose
the measure. From the county Of York we
learn that large and respectable meeting was
held at Alfred on Thursday last to concert meas
ares for ascertaining the state Of public opinion
and unite their efforts in opposition to this mad
project. At this convention five spirited and
patriotic resolutions, setting forth their objections
to the Separation law, and their determination
to oppose the project, were passed. We regret
our limits will not admit Of our giving these pro-
ceedings entire.

LOOK AT THIS.

SINCE Feb. y 1912, that is, in little more than
seven years, the Town Of Portland oniy has receiv-
ed from the State Treasury for support Of STATE
pcupers the sum of nineteen thousand sevea hun
dred and tDenty dollars and forty four cents.--
From this, some opini on may be formed as to the
amount received by all the towns in Maine, for
supporting state poor during the time.--Aftersep-
aration, Maine must pay all this out Of her own
Treasury.
Since Feb 1912, Portland has received from
towns il Massachusetts, Proper, for support Of
their poor, three thousand four hundred and eighty
TIRE liars and sixteen GEMS Portland has not
paid to western towns for supporting her poor, an
eighth part OF that sum. But after separation we
shall have no right to charge the foiCrs in the
western part of the Commonwealth-bu must
be content to pay ourselves.-Why was this not
attended to in the terms Of separation
The more the terms are examined, the more
reason have we to be dissatisfied with them.
z. 5. The above sums are taken from the Re-
solves Of the General Court and the records Of
the town. 49,
Much has been said, and many erroneous
calculations made, on the subject Of Sfcte paupers
Indeed It seems to be considered by the advocates
OF separation, of the strongest arguments ia
favour OF the measure. II is true this burden can
not always be exactly equalized still il is
OF complaint. 1t is continually liable to change
sometimes II bears more heavily on one section Of
the Country, and sometimes another.
The town Of Portland receives between two and
three thousand dollars year for the support Of
State paupers, while many other towns receive
nothing, but they contribute their shsre towards
The support of these poor, because they are gen
eral charge the whole State Now those
towns have as much reason TO complain that Port
land enjoys peculiar privilege, as Maine has to
complain against Mas achusetts.
|. Let those who are disposed u complain on this
subject remember that for many yeals Massachu-
sets has paid more than fee hoGsGud dollars, q
year, for the t,avel Of Representatives more than
her proportion according 70 the ratio Of taxation,
that by the tax on Banks she pays about eieren
thousand dollars a year more than her proportion /;
that during the war she contributed one hun
ared and trenty seren thousand, eish. hundred and
eighty eight dollars more than her proportion, to
the defence of Maine and that for several years
she has expended about fen thousand dollars a
year "a Maine, in making roads aud settling the
Country.
After this hope We shall hese no more com :.
plant about Sfete paupers.
