The sum OF the matter is this-Thsro;.
know, a dispute about the North Eas,srn you
Diary Of Maine. The King of the Ns,ho. noun.
awhile ago, made kind Of half and half ,sa aas
ion, in which he divided the disputed d;' eeis.
between the two powers, giving TO Gras, ''n we.
tain. however, nearly all that was worth prI'
tending for. Neither Maine nor the n 60, .oh'
Government seemed disposed to assent 70 a ave.
decision of the umpire, aud both have reiso ms
it. In the meantime Maine incorpor,,ssF
town called Madawaska French settsn u
transferable populat on on the river s, In1l
that fed originally from Nova Scotia and JOnn,
lower parts Of New Brunswick in order n a, ns
the jurisdiction of Great Britain The Bn,isS
however, claimed this town as theirs. and mr."
ceeded to occupy it, subjecting the peon s'r ~
their laws, their courts, and their taxes. SomS
of the people were imprisoned for rernS;nO .e
acknowledge British jurisdiction. and eonSna ~
in the goal, as Gov. Lincoln stated, in FrsSa
rickton. These proceedings Maine has sM
mitted 10, as the Federal Government has NJ,
undertaken her defence. 1t is also susprc hO
that Maine has entered into a secret negocia,oa
with the Federal Government to surrender ,bi'
Territory on condition that lands are piyen hsr
in some OF the Territories OF money as a remn
neration. To test the truth Of this spsricio,
and TO ascertain in what condition the negoia'
ton is in other points between ours, and the Ri
fish Government, Gov. Lincoln submitted hisra
solutions, which have occasioned all this debate
think Gov. Lincoln said, that five miIIonsof
acres Of land were in dispute, which fact added
to the Important ct,-that Maine has ncorno
rated town in the disputed territory whosejn.
habitants have been imprisoned for submitting
to her jurisdiction, makingit a question whetb.
er the people are the subjects of King or the ci.
tiZens ola Republic, renders il a subjectofim.
portancc lar superior 10 that with France. now
perhaps, about TO plunge the nation into war
Five millions Of acres Of land in border State
is of more importance than five millions Of dol.
Iars.-and if honor and dignity are matters TO
fight about, sure nothing is more despicabe in
us than to create American citizens but TO be.
tray them, and nothing is more undigni6ed than
tn submit to the indignity. The present domi.
nant party, however, are but acting out their d.
ties as the English party, or the Tory party, or
the anti-French party, who would plunge US in.
conflict with our old ally, but let our old enemy
do what she pleases.
II also seemed from the remarks of Mr.
Evans, and Mr.. Smith, that the question had
been mingled with the politics of Maine, and
that the Jacksonmen there under the wing Of
Jackson's popularity, had led on Maine to sub
NIT as she has submitted. An attempt, Mr.
Evans stated, had been made in Maine to getat
this information which Mr.. Lincoln desired
but as the politicians there feared that il would
trouble Gen. Jackson, they did not give it light
Their ann seems 10 have been to keep out Of
sight all subjects of contention but the Bank,
the Bank, the Bank,-just as in Virginia, Riich.
lie attempts to keep out of sight the violations Of
the great principles Of Liberty by the same oh.
streperous cry. The delusion succeeded in
Maine. The people were led TO forget the all
important discussion about their territory, and
to join the phantom crusade against the Bank,
While all the time the Federal Government has
done nothing to regain the lost land OF Name,
or to vindcatp her rights, fearing. that u lght
broke in upon this subject all other subjects.
