This Resolve authorizes the employment of
military force on the Aroostook and St. Johns
Rivers to carry into effect the object in view,
which is the protection of the public lands, and
to carry into effect the Resolve of January Oath,
for the protection of timber from depredatIon.-
This last Resolve of February goth transfers the
power from the Land Agent, to the Executive,
and in terms expressly changes the service from
civil to military service, and the appropra
ton naturally and necessarily follows the nature
of the service for which it was made For what
reason, then, was the civil posse retained, and
the State subjected to the enormous and disgrace
full expenditures which followed?
The public have yet to learn upon what grounds
you would justify the employment of 80 men in
the civil posse, when thousands of the militia of
the State were ordered to aid the Land Agent,
and to repe actual and threatened invasion ofthe
territory of the State. VERITAS.

friends soon reached her, and she again began to
teach all the pupils she could obtain adults as
well as children-to read the Bible. That was
her mission. The necessity for her labors NAV be
somewhat understood from the fact that there
then was not moge than one in twenty of the
French colonists who could read, and scarcely a
copy of the Bible was to be found amonr the
Catholic population.

That the chief argument relied upon to defeat

the auditing committee OF the Executive Coun-

money paid to Gen. Hodsdon (Which the law
expressly allows him) was an extravagant ex-

The Age apologies for the enormously ex-
travagant charge of "TEN DOLLARS PER
DAY. by Col Jarvis, of Aroostook memory, by
saying that this was the lowest sum the Colonel
would name, and that he had perfect right to
charge what he thought proper. Under these
circumstances, the Age states, in substance, that
Gov. Fairfield concluded that the interests ofthe
State would be best promoted by contracting with
him, even at the exorbtant price Of" TEN DOL
LARS PER DAY, for doing what might as well
have been done for one-thIrd or at most one-hay
the sum,
Now does the apology Of the Age mend the
matter one grain: Not by any means. Does
the Age pretend to say that no man in the State
but Col. Jarvis, could perform the service requir-
ed Every acquainted with the service re-
guirei and the service performed by Col. Jarvis,
would laugh at the Age, if 1t pretended any such
thing. The plain truth is, it was an extravagant,
partzan affair,-like the principal part Of the
Aroosrook humbug. and deserves, as it will re-
ceve, the condemnation of the true republicans
ofthis State. The Age, with all its clustering
cannot mend that matter.
