Madison Whig advocate., 1839-03-30

The following intelligence from Maine we
find in the Picayune. The message of the
President, it appears has no other effect on the
citizens of Maine, than TO confirm them in
their previous warlike intentions, and it seems
that their Governor has, or will, stake the res
possibility" of marching the troops, now as
sembled at Bangor, to the seat of disturbance.
Their loco foco governor has so long witnessed
the bold defiance of the Laws and Constitu-
tion of our country by those high in Office
when their pleasures interests were concern
ed-that he is now about to take from the par
ties TO whom it belongs, to adjust the main
question at issue, into his hands, and plunge our
country into a war with Great Britain-when
both governments are earnestly engaged ~ith,
no doubt, a sincere wish TO bring their unplea-
SAINT and Improbable controversy to an AMIGA
bic and satisfactory adjustment. We learn
from exchange papers that Congress has
passed law authorizing the President to call
out 5000 men, and raise Si0,OO0,000 to pro-
sect our territory. from invasion-which we do
not apPrehend, unless the rash and imprudent
steps of the citizens of Maine and its Governor
invoke one.
BANGOR, March a, 1899.
The arrival of the Presidents Message this
morning again threw zhe city into an excite
ment. such we have mot had here since the
marching of the trooes. A early hour
large numbers of onrcIisaens collected around
the Post Office, ali eacssT learn the auticipa-
yted news from Washingtan. The message has
produced scarcely any other than an universal
feeling of disapprobafiun amongst us. The
strongest friends ot the administration can
with difficulty command sufficient brass and
confidence 20 enlist in lis defence In fact
there * pow scarcely Van BSrenite amongst
us, but ON this subject all are Wings
IL is unnecessary for me TO say that the pco-
pie will almost 10 a man, refuse TO ratify the
bargain made by those who ought 10 be their
protectors at the seat of Government. They
see .it in >aniy recurrence 10 the old and
fruitless system Of negotiation which has been
already carried on fu< almost half century.
