From the Fraakiin Gazette.
MR.MACKENZIE LIBERATED.

II 10 announced in the Albany Argu
and 81 Lawrence Republican that III,
President of the United States has at las
released the patrio, Mackenzie from impris
onment. We have not learned when Thu
took place, nor are we informed wha
particular reasons have induced Mr.. Var
Buren, at this time 10 do an act which he
had so long and so unjnstly delayed
From the manner in which the informa-
ton is stated those papers, we cannot
doubt its correctness, and whatever may
have been the motives of the Executive in
resisting pertinaciously and sullenly, for So
many months, the petitions OF The people
and the demands OF public sentiment, in
behalf Of Mr.. Mackenzie, and however diI-
hcuIt it may be to account for this sudden
change OF his views in regard to the injured
and oppressed exile in such a way as 10
render his release measure emitting its
author to thanks or credit, il would be in
consisien. with our feelings and our duty
not TO express the qualification which an
even. so desirable and joyful ia calculated
N produce. We have sympathized with
Mr.. Mackenzie ia his confinement, and we
Join with him in rejoicing for his restora-
ton to freedom. He has suffered long
aud severity for his devotion To the cause OF
American Freedom, and that too in a 10 nd
whose soil has been generously enriched
by torrents of hood, shed in its defence
but he leaves the walls OF his odious dun
geon the same enthusiastic and fearless adj
voeate OF republican principles that he en-
tered them. Denounced in his own coun-
try as felon, and price set upon his head
hunted and prosecuted in this Republic
By the harpies of the law. and incarcer-
ated for nearly twelve-monih in a dem
ocraiic prison, his noble and intrepid spir-
il remains unbroken. and his holy and Iof-
" designs are unchanged. Hard and nm
Just as has been the treatment which he
has received at the hands OF those who
owed him Offices Of kindness rather than
the gross wrong and tyranny which they
have inflicted upon him, he has horne him
self maufnlly throughout, never for mo-
ment forgetting that jndicisl condemnation
for the acts with which he was charged did
not diShonor, aud that his snderings bon
the more endeared him 10 the friends Of
liberty.
The news Of Mackenzie's release was re-
eeived in this quaier with universal rejoi-

HON. CALEB CUSHING.

This gentleman is a member Of the
House of Representatives of the United
States from Massachusetts. Since he has
been in Congress he has won high repu-
tatIon as a scholar, statesman, and a
Patriot. II is true, he belongs to the wing
party, TO the leading and fundamental prn-
ciples Of which we are decidedly hostile,
but we trust we shall never become so
much OF partizan that we cannot appre-
clate merit IN political opponent. Mr..
Gushing has particularly distinguished
himself by his course upon our foreign re-
lations. We have noticed with pleasure
that the movements Of England, whether
upon the Eastern or the Western CONT
nent, excite his vigiant attention. He
steadily watches her policy, and ever as
some new design OF aggrandiZement or
encroachment becomes apparent, his voice
is raised to warn his countrymen Of the
danger. In this he exhibits patriotism
and fidelity which, we regret to say, are
not discoverable in many OF our public
men. Indeed, we think we may Justly
assert that Mr.. Gushing is the only man
eminent in public affairs whose views in
regard to our relations with Great Britain
are such, in all respects, as would preserve
the obligations and maintain the rig hts and
honor OF the nation inviolate. He is lib
eral and patriotic, and ardently and enthu-
sias,ically devoted 10 The principles of re-
publican freedom.-From the opinion
which we have formed OF him, we are con.
WINGED that had he the direction ofGovern.
ment, British power would soon be extin-
gulshed on this continent.
Several petitions for the release OF Mac
kenzle were sent from this place TO Mr..
Gushing some weeks since, with request
that he wonld present. them TO the House.
By the following sketch OF proceedings in
that body, it will be seen that he complied
with the wishes Of the petitioners. He
was prevented by the rules from getting
the subject before the House at that time,
hut he expressed his determination, in a.
letter 10 the individual who forwarded the
petitions To him, to bring il up sgAin al
the first favorable opportunity. Mr.. Van
Buren, has got the start OF him, and saved
him the farther agitation Of the question ;;
but the friends OF liberty are none the less

buy what they wsnsed so much, they has

snd militia officers, incorporated parishes,
Gu, timber and levied taxes.
vi. These things were resisted by Mas
sachuseiis and Maine. The Tespassers
were captured and their teams sold TO pay
expenses. But S,r Howard Douglass, q
military man, being the Governor of New
Brunswick, saw the importance Of the
communication referred To, and deiermin.
ed IN keep IL oprn at all hazards.
VII. The Question having been refer
red 10 the king Of the Netherlands, who o,
the very time was Geld marshal IN The
British army. and actually waiting the al
Indication Of Great Britain, upon qnes-
ton of territory between him and Belgium
his majesty decided, what ! in favor OF
Great Britain, his commandments,

eide question never submitted TO him
90 recommend compromise, by splitting
the difference. Now, would his Majesty
have decided 10 this way, had there been
90 much as a tolerable pretext for deciding
10 favor of Great Britain?
VIII. Meanwhile, Madawaska is incor-
porated by Maine, and the arrest oil Baker
Is made by the Provincial authorities Of
New Brunswick. Governor Lincoln oil
Maine, demonstrates /; the General Govern
ment begins 10 open its eyes TO the aggtessl-
ons OF N. Brunswick /; the release OF Baker
10 demanded, and compensation made for
his imprisonment.
TX. Next an arrangement Is entered
INTO between Mr.. Livingston and Sir G.
Vaughan, whereby the very language
employed 30 limit The jurisdiction of the
British, ia understood by them 10 justify
still further encroachmenis. This brings
out the Governor Of Maine--the Senate Of
.ne United States--Sir John Harvey-and
Gen. Scotland there the matter ended
just about year ago.
X. And here we may as well stop
however il may be with the past, the FU-
TURE will be remembered by most OF
our People and with them we leave it,
with this one remark that although the
territory 10 dispute contains not less than
seven millions of acres-being a fourth |
larger than the whole Of Massachusetts,
and about twice the size Of Connecticut
well iimbered, rich land better timbered
and richer land by Ear than is to be found
in any part OF New England . still the
land itself is of no value compared with its
importance in a military point OF view
as frontier, and with the great principles
involved in the controversy. For if Great
Britain may question this boundary now,
what may she not question hereafter!

gage m common cause, aud direct ihel
eIiaTts IN the same end.
IL Is highly probable that Mr. Van bu
Fen's action 10 the case OF Mackenzie, ma
been somewhat FASTENED by the move
menis which he saw going on IN Congress
Since The commencement OF The session
large number oI memorials have been pre-
scented Ia both Houses, asking their inter
position IN hIs behalf. and from The resolu
ton OF Mr.. Nortesi in the Senate, and th'
mott, us and remarks of Mr.. Gushing II
| The House, il was evident that something
was 10 be done on The subject. lis discus
sion might not have benrftled the Press
tent, and !, was quite probable that Tesolo
lions would have passed both branches o
Inc legislature demanding Mackenzie
release. To prevent discussion, and Sc
cure all the popularity OF granting pardon
To himself, by adopting the measure before
call OF Congress should be made, we
think IL not uucharilable to assign as the
cause that Mackenzie is so suddenly Iiber-
aied. How much credit the President
can claim Tor this act il is not difficult To
determine.
We commenced the publication Of this
paper with sincere disposition to give the
national administration lair and efficient
support.-W ith its domestic policy we
have been satisfied and that we have uni
iofmly sustained. The odious measures
OF neutrality which ii has adopted and en-
inrc.H -.
tons and the rights OF Maine in reference
TO Nae boundary question, aud the manner
IN which il has borne the Caroline out
rage and other aggressons which have
been committed upon us by the British au-
ihofIles in Canada, have met our decided
disapprobation. We regret that its course
has been such as TO impair our confidence
IN 1t. That il has been SO we have often
declared, and now repeat. And we feel
hound farther 10 say, thatit is not by The
liberation OF Mackenzie, glad as we are
that ne is again al liberty, that the admin
istration will become entitled 10 that unre-
served devotion with which we formerly
regarded it. We can discover no merit ia
an act done solely TO gain votes. We
better evidence than that, OF
for past errors, before we shall
be satisfied Of its future. good intentions.
When il shall avenge the Caroline massa-
ere, uphold The sovereignty Of Maine over
her entire territory, repudiaie It's tyrannicaI
neutrality policy, and place the General
Government in that attitude Of guardian
ship over the freedom aud rights o. the |
people of North America which it ought
10 assume, we will support it with yea
which shall be surpassed by none
Whether it shall DO so or not, our course
will be straight forward, and we can as
'ure our friends that beiide US what may, |
While we continue to command the col. |
