Mrs. WILLIAMS New WoRx.-Ev-
cry thing connected with the history Of
the disputed Territory, must be infinite
y interesting at this time, and the ac-
count Of tho descendants Of this inter-
osting people, who now inhabit it, will
not fail to be so. There seems, how
ever, by Mrs. Williams history, somo
discrepancy in the story of its first set.
Element, mesn tho Madawaska part,
which it is said the English claim by
possession, saying "Their subjects have
always resided there" The Neutral
French, or Acadians, who were dis
iranchised first, and ,hen driven out Of
Nova SCOTIA by fire and sword, cannot
by any reasoning that | know of, be
counted as such, and although with
wiley craft, few Canadian settlers
since the revolutionary war, have been
induced by the British Government to
receive Of them grants of land, yet
since tho treaty Of Ghcn., which aptly
defined the boundary, they have drop
ped all pretension to any thing ofthe
sort--until little prior to the last dis
turbance, when it is said few persons
from Nova Scotia were induced by
Government 10 settle in that region, IN
order to net as spies on the Others,
part which they faithfully performed at
the time when Maine Incorporated it in
n township, and the persons who assist
cd in its organization wero seized, i'm
prisoned, and aflerward sent to England
for trial. The Madawascans themselves
claim to have been the descendants OF
the AcOdisns, the first settlers after
the Indians, who gavo il the name II
has always retained. The subject is
discussed at length, and the conflicting
testimony too is very fairly stated in
this work. X,

peaied solicitations Of Rsaay individuals

the project is not, in fact, altogether

TO DEMOCRATIC EDITORS.

Any gentlema of the Democratic Republican
party who is competent and willing TO sustain the
great principles for which that party is contending,
may have an opportunity of possessing himself of
the establishment of The North Carolina Stand
ard.
The Office is well found 10 materials, and has a
list Of about 1000 subscribers, supposed to be as
good as to pay, as those of ANY establishment in
the State. The job work and advertising are res
pectable.
To avoid the necessity Of any correspondence
on the subject, except such as may amount to an
acceptance Of the terms, they are herewith pub
lished.
The materials and List will be sold for s 5000
two-thrds of which must be paid III Cash, and a
Bond, with approved securities, at II months for
the remaining third, with interest from date. The
purchaser TO make up the papers to those who have
paid in advance, the number OF which Is small.
| believe the annals of our business have not al
forded an opportunity favorable to a purchaser
as the present; which will be better understood,
when II is stated that the whole amount demanded
is considerably less than the clear annual income
of the office.
If the purchaser desires to have the accounts
due the Office, with the establishment, they will be
sold at a large discount, and on accommodating
terms.
II is not perceived that the late reverses in the
fortunes of our party have decreased the subscrp-
tion list of the Standard and it may be fairly pre-
sumed that Democratic Republican paper, faith
fully conducted the seat of Government, will al
ways command generous support from our PolliI-
cal friends.
Other views and prospects, with the almost alb
solute necessity of being absent greater part of
the ensuing summer, have induced me to make
this offer.
No arrangement will be entered into with any
person. who may not be supposed acceptable to-Our
republican friends whose generous confidence aad
support have for nearly five years enjoyed, and
which confidence will never betray, in any shape
whatever.
II the sale is not consummated By the middle of
April next shall continue in the establishment.

The origin of confning Jurors from meat
and drink

The Gothic nation were famous Of old. in
Europe for the quantity of food and drink which
they consumed. The Ancient Germans and
their Saxon descendants in England, Were re-
markabIe for their hearty meals. Gluttony and
drunkenness were so very common, that these
vices were not considered disgraceiul; and
Tacitus represents the former as capable Of be-
ing as easily overcome by strong drink as by
arms. Intemperance was SO general and habitu-
al. that no one was thought fit for serious busi-
ness after dinner; and under this persuasion it
was enacted in the laws. that judges should hear
and determine causes fasting, and not after din.

Petitions of Abolitionists are daily presented

holding out direct inducement for them TO To-

evidence of fanaticsm, and submission to the
