the Eastern boundary line of the United
States was fairly settled; least it be the cause
of war breaking out upon the border be-
tween the citizens Of the United States and
Of Canada, without the promoting OF the
Government Of either country. Some Of our
friends in Maine seem to be very much excl
ted on the subject, and complain Of want Of
sympathy with their grievances in the sister
States. We copy one or two Of their para
graphs, to show more clearly what is the pre-
valing feeling on the subject in that State OF
| Maine:
FROM THE PORTLAND ADVERTISER.
M,paw.sKA.-We regret to see 10 one or
two of the Maine papers disposition to con
slider the sutragss perpctrated upon our citi
zens on the Madaw aka as unimportant. For
ourselves we look upon it as one OF the most
deliberate and shameful outrages that ever
| British soldiers inflicted upon us. Our Ian
guage has never given half utterancn TO our
(. indignation, for prudence is to be consulted
as well as temper. Some papers talk OF IN
aemni,y! Was not Baker incareerated-
and where is the indemnity? Can a paltry
indemnity Of cents and slxpeHces atone for
violated sovereignty, and for injuries and in
suits repeated, which, if mredressed, all Eu
rooe will laugh at as for tolerating? We
know what party weapon this Madawaska
furnishes TO us, but we scorn to WELD It, We
iay aside all political pre- JUDGES, and will ear
nestly co operate in any thing that shall wipe
off the disgrace that is new sullying the ma
tional horizon 1t is time something was
done The affair is of moment enough 10 de
mand the sending of Expresses to Washing
TO and Frederickton. Our eastern exchange
papers adopt language full as urgent. "ouch
q proceeding" says Gardner sntelligencer,
"cannot be endured by the citizens OF Maine
Unless these men are speedily released, we
presume an armed force, sufficiently strong
will be ordered to Fredericton, to release
the prisoners" "rhe release OF our fellow
citizens from the British jail at FredeFickto )"
SAYS the Wiscasset Entelhsencer, Should be
Immediately demanded 10y our Government,
and in case OF refusal, an armed force should
be sent for that purpose We think from the
little feeling we have seen evinced since the
intelligence reached us, that thousands OF
citizens of Maine would be ready at the first
call"
FROM THE BELFAST ADvoCTE.
The Governor ofthe State having sanction

Settlement it is to be hoped will not he
wanting in energy and 6rmness to support
the dignity Of the State. Let Commission
ers be appointed torth,sith to demand the pri
soncrs from the custody Of .Ne,o Brm,s'rick,
and upon the refusal immediately TO release
them, let instant arrests be made of t,eo for
one among the Magistrates or principal men
upon the New Brunswick border, to be im-
pr,soned at Bangor, Machias, or elsewhere,
subject to the same treatment as that imposed
upon orr citizens at Fredericton, Sc long as
the British Authorities shall persist IN such
unlawful! and outrageous violation OF the
j rights Of our citizens.
FROM THE PORTLAND ADVERTISER.
It is singular that presses in other States
whose ire is kindled by single aggression,
made no matter where, whether il be in Por-
tssaf or among the Malays, take no sort of
interest in this dispute. The whole Union
was once 10 an uproat because an American
vessel was fred upon. The impressment of
a single citizen once created vast disturbance
The sufferihgs Of an individual in foreign
dungeon were once felt in every State with
an electric sympathy; but four Americans,
acting under the laws of this State are now
torn from their families and imprisoned in a
