Proceeding in this inquiry as to the reality
of distinction between the REPUBLICANS and
FrDEEAIIsTs of the present dav, we come to
the third proposition of the Waterman viz.
that they differ in their opinion Of implied Of,
constructive polcers arising out Of The Constitu-
tion."

possession would be disputed. write not to con-

Wherein do Republicans differ from Federal
lists in their constructions of the national Con-

ready and distinct answer. The parties were

NEW COUNTY

Since our last paper, in which we made few
remarks touching the New County, which is
proposed to be erected on the kennebec, we
have been favored with the opinions and views
OF several intelligent gentlemen from Brunswick.
on this subject When the inhabitants of Bruins
wick joined in the petition year or two ago
for new county, it was under the assurance
that the towns OF Harpswell, Freeport Durham,
PoWnal aud Danville in this county, would also
become part Of it and We state il confidently
that their only inducement then was, that Bruns-
wick, would in that case become the shire t0lcn-
But now That the other towns are not to bc set
off to the new county. Brunswick cannot hope
10 become the shire town and consequently tie
strong reason they had in favour OF the measure
has altogether ceased.
Some powerful arguments are stated why
Brunswick under existing circumstances, should
be opposed to the measure. She has paid a. her
proportion of buildings in Cumberland CO.. the
court house and gaol for instance. over 1880
not only would she lose this on 4 separation but
she would have 10 contribute her proportion to
the buildings which must be erected ia the new
county which TOR court house, with fire proof
offices and substantial goal, could not cost less
than $4,000; which provided the county was
composed only of the towns in Lincoln, west Of
the kennebec, as Is al present contemplated.
would according to the last valuation be about
$4,000. Ia addition to this sum to be paid out
right; the annual tax Of Brunswick would be
increased about 30 per cent. we are informed,
by the increased expcnces incidental to 1 new
county. We think therefore on this itern Of the
account, Brunswick would not gain much by
seyenng their old connection with lis.
Again if Brunswick cannot be the shire town.
Tor which there is not the least probability, be-
ing border town il is much against her inter-
est on the score Of convenience TO 20 over to the
new county. Her deeds in the first place are
all recorded in this town, when any title to
lands situated there, i disputed in court the rec

PEACE WITH TURKEY AND GREECE.
BY the arrival here this forenoon of the
brig Ann, Capt. A,ht,rd, in 40 days from
Leghorn. we have received the important in
telligence by the Captain, that peace had
been concluded between the Turks and the
Greeks, through the mediaiion Of The Empe.

The news was brought to Leghorn on the
22d October, by a vessel from Constantine
pie, and Captain Ashford states, that the fact
was generally believed at Leghorn, whence
be sailed on the 95h lie also says. that the
treaty ieaves the Greeks Ia he same state Of sta
vcry they vrere IN before The gar. We very
much doubt this part of the information.
Captain Ashford sailed from Leghorn in
company with the U. 5. ;trigate Constitution,
for Port Mahon, aud sloop of war Ontario,
for that place.
