Maumee City express. [volume] (Maumee City, Ohio) 1838-184?, 1839-03-02
From The Bangor Whig Of Feb. IS,


Express at 10 o clock last evening, with let
ter from Mr.. McIktlre, the Land Agent to the
Government. The letter was received by
mail at Houton from Woodstock, when Mr..
Packard took it last night.
It seems that about l o'clock Tuesday night,
the house where McIntire slept was surroun-
ded by about 40 men in arms. Mclntire and
others were called up and ordered 20 be ready
to march to Fredrickton. Mclntre demanded
by what authority they arrested him. "Ihis
is our authority" said the commander, pie
sentng the point ofa bayonet!
They took them to Woodstock, had them up
before smagistrate, who issued warrant
against McIntire, Gustavus G. Cushman, and
Thomas Bartlett, and marched them forthwith
to Fredcrckton.
Col. Webster came to Houlton last night,
and informed Mr.. Packard that body OF
IT'S volunteers under arms, had proceeded
up the river to capture or dlsperse the force on
the Aroostook, and that they had employed
e5 Indians who had joined them on their
march.
The force which Sheriff Strickland had un-
der his command, had fallen back upon No. 10,
where they are secure against any encroach'
venus, CnelT pOSlIloh leHuOiihS IL iniPoSoioo W
disodge them without strong force. They
have brass field piece under their CONTROL IN
addition to small arms. 1t is said that Capt.
Rines has been chosen to the command.
Mr.. Packard, had no knowledge of the con-
tents of the letter, and has had no communica-
ton from Mr.. McIntre, neither was it known
in Houston when he left that Sheriff Strickland
had preceded him.
Michigan seems to be doomed state in re-
gard to its financial matters. With every ele-
men of wealth in profusion, it Is subject to
greater pecuniary embarrassments than the
poorest state in the Union. Even when
brighter prospect seems to dawn, it is sure to
undergo speedy eclipse. Previous to the late
failure of the Ypsilantl Bank, Michigan money
was becoming decidedly better than it has
been for the last eighteen months. But the
failure of tine bank and the accompanying ras-
calty, have thrown shade of suspicion over
all the banks, and none keep their notes longer
than is absolutely necessary. They are sho-
we'd off as soon as possible, and must now be
coming back upon the banks faster than they
ever went out. This must seriously embarrass
those institutions, even the most solvent or,
at least, prevent their effordng their custo-
mers and the public the usual facilities. Vi
the difficulties under which the business men
of Detroit now labor, we can form an idea by
the following item clipped from the Advertl-
ser of that city. 1t is a horrible state OF things:
Not bank of our city drawing on the East
at any rate, and our merchants suffering for
exchanges. Specie and five per cent. were
Yesterday offered for drafts on New York, and
none could be purchased.
The only way in which Michigan can ever
Obtain good pecuniary standing, is to apply
the knife to the seat Of dsease-to extirpate
at once and for ever the fraudulent system o.
banking with which the state has been cursed
Let the law be enforced, let every man known
to be accessory to the thievish operations de-
tailed in the Bank Commissioners Report, be
consigned to the Penitentiary, without regart
to his respectable (?1, and the abundant re-
sources Of Michigan would soon bring her cur
rency into good repute.
