FOR THE CALIFORNIAN.

In looking over some extracts from the journal
OF the secret session of the Legislature of Maine,
published in late Maine paper, find the name of
our Tory candidate for Senator, McMlllen, record
ed among those who voted in favor ola resolution
for appointing commissioners to negotiate with the
General Government the terms upon which the
State of Maine should cede the disputed territory to
the General Government with view of having it
annexed TO the British Empire.
What confidence can the freemen of Caledonia
County place in man who would not only dsmem-
Der our territory but sell citizens by hundreds
to the British? If he could be thus treacherous to
the interests of his own native state, and willingly
barter away her citizens for any indemnity, aban
doning them to the tender mercies of British cruel
ty, what security have that he would be more
careful of the rights and interests of people, among
whom he is comparatively stranger, and with
whom he has no one feeling or interest in common?
Athll events, Mr. Editor, if l am to be sold to the
British should like the privilege of fixing the price
and sharing the profits. CALEDONIA COUNTY.
