We offer no apology for occupying 50 much
space, with the following article from the Kenne
bee Journal. The subjects touched upon should
be properly understood by the people.
MADNESS OF PARTY.
Driven in disgrace from power, the leaders of
the loco party are rabd, unscrupulous and per-
fecty reckless. The mass of Inc people, even
those who have voted with them, are cool, and
on the whole do not at all regret that the office
holders are routed. But those who have held
power are not so candid nor patriotic. They
have enjoyed the spolis too long to part with
them complacently. Many OF them are blind
with rage, and vany imagine the people are as
blind as they. Now that the 4th OF March has
come and they are about being driven out of the
temple, they are preparing to seize the pillars and
try TO pull the whole edi6ce down. Or ordered
out of the entertainments and public buildings,
they want to set fire to the whole mass, and have
one general conlagration, that they may escape
under cover of the smoke, leaving no chance to
discover the extent of their plumber. War, in
slant and undelayed, war by the State Of Maine
against New Brunswick, is now the cry of those
who for many years have supported the admins
tration in trihng with the interests Of the State
Trouble, confusion, rapine, destruction, any
fhing-no matter whether prepared or not for the
issue ; matter il our seaboard be defenceless
and our Atlantic towns liable TO instant destruc-
ton; no matter whether we have men or money
or not, these valiant heroes, who can exist only
in excitement and turmoil, are in hot haste and
fiery red for general crash. Where they will
he found when the contest comes, as come it may,
shall then see, but we suspec! it will not be in
front of the battle We fear their valor Will al
have been expended in words, leaving very little
for effeetual use when it shall be wanted.
Now how long have these heroes, full of
wrath and head long zeal, been thus eager fer
war? Where are their preparations for it? Moth
ing new has occurred in the last six or eight
mouths to change our Misunderstanding GER
tainly since Mr. Van Burrn's message in De-
cember in which he never limited at any necessi-
~ for war, or need of preparations for it, but
on the contrary he told US another year would be
required to complete the survey OF the American
engineer
In 1898, Gov. Kent, by special MESSAGE to the
Legislature, called attention to the defenceless
condition Of our seaboard, and resolutions were
passed calling Mr.. Van Duren's admnstra
ton for immediate means of defence. And how
was the call answered. Not movement has been
made not single stick of timber or perch Of
stone lad--not dollar expended. Maine has
been neglected, shamefnlly neglected by Van
Buren,, and these minority warriors have sustain
I'd him from first to last their military ardnr we
suppose was smothered By hiGi only to break aDt
with increased power his retirement
gave vent to the q lowing fires which burned in
their patriotic bosoms.
Perhaps this is the time too, which they deem
safest TO make amends for their attempt to sell
territory and citizens in 1892. They never had an
opportunity before, because their party has been
ever since in power at Washington TIL now.
British troops have occupied the post at Tenn
iscouata Lake, within our territory, ever since
the spring of 1889; our government has submit
ted to this, and these minority warriors have all
4he time kept their "trenchnBt blades" within
their scaobards, except when they flourished
them in the Aroostook war, which was carried on
entirely upon territory previously occupied by us.
While British troops occupied our territory on
the other side of the ST. John, Gov Fairfield
made an agreement specifying That sur military
force should he withdrawn from the Aroostook,
but not STIMULATING that British troops should be
withdrawn from Madawaska, and accordingly
they have not been withdrawn, but more have
been sent there All the correspondence of the
General Government since Gov. Fairfield and
Gen SCOTS agreement, shows that Mr.. Van
Buren, intends to have that agreement observed
until the question is settled. Now should
like to ask the Age why, when the British are
exerting civil jurisdiction and stationng troops
on the other side the St. Johns, Mr. Van Buren,
conserving, why he has not stationed some o. S.
troops on our side' Although we have military
post at Houlton, neither Gen. Jackson nor Mr..
Van Buren, ever permitted single U. s. soldier
TO be stationed on any part Of the territory COW
cred by the broad and eXtravagant claim of Great
Britain, although a considerable part Of it is
occupied by American settlements, and is repre-
scented in our Legislature.
Mr. Van Buren, had ten millions of dollars ap-
propriated by Congress for defence of the country
with resolution Of Congress declaring right
TO the territory in question to be indefeasble but
he did not move finger; on the contrary he said
he should submit the case to ANOTHER ARBITRA-
rIoS, and has already taken measures TO do so yet
these minority warriors found no fault with him,
but labored night and day to re-slect him. But
now, these same gentlemen, who were so pat mt
and submissive under Van Buren,, cannot wait for
Gen. Harrison to be sworn into office /; they INSIST
on a second edition of the Aroostook war, without
even the excuse of threat from Sir John Har-
vey, and insist that the Governor shall lead them
70 the extreme northeastern point Of our territory
and drive few British troops from post where
neither the State nor the General Government
have ever yet attempted to exercise jurisdiction.
When we are driven to the alternative of another
State war, we will endeavor not to 90 into it
wrong end foremost, nor come out as we went in
When driven to such an extremity, it will become
us to act with such cegrae of prudence as not
10 fc-feit the sympathy of our own fellow citizens
