by the Grand Jury Of Aroostook county,
on complaint of Mr.. Carey, loco foco

possibility of removing i'm as long as the
present Administration Continues in power
Citizens of the United States may be i'm
prisoned, AID American Captains abused
but so long as he sends forth political pam
pbets in support of favorite project of the
magician, so long he can sit quietly in his
seat. and defy all complaint made against
him. Will not the time come when men
will be placed and continued in Office, for
merit, and merit alone, and not for cringing
subserviency TO party dictation! And we
may here take occasion to remark, that our
whole system of consular agency, too Of
ten, in its practical operations brings re-
proach upon our Country. We would
make no sweeping denunciations, but think
that we are fully justified in saying that the
absence of all fixed salaries, and the great
distance of the nation they represent, too
often tempts our consuls in foreign ports
to make the national good, subservient to
private emolument. We make these sug-
gesiions with the hope that the system will
be examined, and its defects, if possible,
corrected.

the trouble to examine the past conduct Of

this question, must indeed be very san

cy of British diplomacy to believe that 1t is
sincerely the object or intention of that
power, to take any measures for the imme-
date and final settlement OF the question at
issue.
We see that England, is making tho
greatest exer,ions to put her NORTH Ameri

less, in case Of prompt measures being ia

all it can do is to point the treaty of 'S3,

fuse to join us in running the line, and do
not abandon their preposterous pretention
