The Eastern Argus Ithe principal Jackson pa
YER in Maine) is absolutely fierce and per'erse
with the general government about the Mada-
wasca affair. 1t holds this notification language:
When the people of Maine speak upon this
subject, when they act upon it. they do not speak
or act as party men. They have been waiting
with patience and confidence on the movements
Of the general government. whose dnty 1t IS TO
vindicate their right, and to maintain the intesri-
ty of their territory in its tchoie extent ~ifhoW
| curfaiiment-WithoW compromise. Butwe must
speak and we will speak-it IS time for the peo-
Die of Maine to awake from their dream OF con-
fdence-or prepare TO drink still deeper OF the
, cup of humiliation. We boast of being a sove-
reigu State-we talk Of our equal rightsa as a mem
Der of the Union. All this is true. if we look
only at the Statute Book. 1t is true, -for the
purpose Of ~exactins from US our share OF the
public burthens. 1t is true,-for the purpose
of demanding our brave and hardy soldiers and
sea,oen to Echt the battles Of the country. JUS
tice requires US to acknowledge, for we mean 10
acknowledge every thing, we are permitted 10
| send our Senators and Representatives TO Con
gress. and as a matter Of favor we are allowed TO
have eur tax-gathers and local officers appointed
from among ourselves. Practically our equali-
tv as a member Of the Union seems to be confined
! to objects such as these. Our citizens do not
participate IN the honors and emoluments of Of
flee, our industry and enterprise are burthened
with taxation and restriction, and our territory Is.

ing spirit of the British provinces. 1t Is due TO
the President to say, that TINS mode OF treating
the people, and the rights OF Maine, did not orr
ginate with the present administration. Ii has
been IN operation for years. But Il IS high time
there shot4Eb be an c,dt c IL, and there mast bear
end TO IL. But we are told of our PATRIOTISM
True. Maine is patriotic. Hence, though her
shipping was rotting at her wharves, tor, insig-
n~ifcant as Maine is, she in tonnage Is the third
state in the Uniou.) though her lumber was Pc
rishmg on the banks of her streams, though her
fishermen and sailors were driven from their ele-
ment, though her means of subsistence were cut
of, and her resources exhausted by an Cypress
i've embargo, at the call of the United States. she
buckled on her armor TO aid in the cause OF the
second war of independence. She did so in OPP
saion 10 The inftsnce md authority Of oparent
State. The blood Of her sailors was poured out
to satisfy British vengeance at Dartmoor Prison.
Must she also pay the penalty Of that war by the
sacrifice of her territory? We answer coolly but
6rmly-No. We protest against IT. We deny
the constitutional power OF the United States to
take from one State a portion -ot It's territory and
transfer it to another, without the consent OF the
| State interested. Much more do We deny the
constitutional power, in time OF peace. to trans
fer such territory to a foreign State. Nor does
it make any difference whether such transfer be
attempted to be effected direeiiy by treaty. or
indirectly under the mockery OF a fraudulent ar
bitraton."
