with the crime of murder. He has been examined

u3TThe disputed territory in Maine, claimed by
Great Britain, contains ,705 square miles, being
2,9O5 square miles than the entire State of
Massachusetts. A good share of it is we'll timber
ed, and probably worth to Massachusetts and Maine
from eight to millions of dollars, and is par-
ally settled by American citizens, who, in Of
its ccssion to England, would loose their citizen
ship. But Its consequence to Great Britain, is par
amount dollars and cents nasmuch it affords
a land route TO her armies to penetrate Canada
when all other avenues closed. Ift really be-
longs to the United States, it does certainly appear
to be too valuable TO be tamely surrendered The
people Of Maine will do their duty, and if there
shall be any where a pusillanimous and cringng
spirit manifested in the matter, it will be at Wash
ngton the part of those, who, if they had dis
played IA staesman-li and manly bearing, might
ere this, have settled the question in a manner
highly satisfactory to the United States. Great
Britain would have relinquished claim which she
never hoped to have granted her only through the
arrogance in which it is urged and the dread Of the
British Lion with which she hoped 10 inspire the
bosoms of those whose duty it is TO reject aud
the claim at The Threshold.

GJ'It is minated in certain quarters that there
is an understanding existing of such a nature be.
tween the Executive of The United States and the
British that the former will be obliged to back out
in the end, and hush the affair, and leave Maine
and Observation-Disclosures p,oprietors of the dlspu-
ed terriory-to maintain their own rights. This
intmation is based in part upon the ameness lately
manifested upon this subject by the President, and
the assertion Of Sir John Harvey that it was the
understanding between the two Governments that
Great Britain should occupy the disputed territory
till the question settled. These are not the
only Indications bearing upon the subject. If this
is the case-and it is more than probable-we shall
the truth Of it established by the non commit
tai and do nothing course of the Administration,
and symptoms of disposition by certain leading
Van Buren, men in Maine withdraw from the
controversy, and put off the settlement of the ques
ton, till Great Britain will have established her
claim to the territory by occupancy-ifa claim can
be established IN that manner. The people of Me.
will not quietly submit TO these understandings of
Martin Van Buren, and Victoria. Then too, there
is the Bay State-Old Massac husetts-g orious in
her past history--free and chvalrc now, as then,
when the flames of her patriotism consumed the rod
ofoppTcssion-she also has a voice in the question,
and when she moves let the worshppers of Kings
and Queens and tyrans, tremble. We much need

New HAMPsHIRE. One week from to day oc
ours the annual election in New Hampshire Five
members of Congress, five CounseIlors, twelve Sen

the State Legislature, beside County officers, are
to be chosen on that day. Both parties took the

seven hundred. Mr. Jarvis had divided his force
the Fish River to the tresspassers that vi
mouth of the little Madawaska and one remains al
II few days, with his forces to support Mr. jarvis in
these movements. Everything on the part of the
British and tresspassers in the vicinity of the dis
puted territory was quiet-and no attack of our for
ces at present is anticipated. An officer of the
British army from Fredericton passed through this
town yesterday on his way to Washington. He IS
supposed to BIO the bearer of dispatches the Bril-
fish Minister, from Sir John Harvey.
