While the people of Lower Canada are crying
out at what they term the encroachlng spirit of the
government of the United States, those Of Maine
equally offended al its not yndicatlng the terri
torial rights Of that state against the British author
tiles in the province of New Brunswick. The
Portland Argus, referring to the late speech of he
Governor of Maine, and his correspondence with
the Executive and with the Governor OF New Bruins
wick, says, that while it regrets the subject should
have become point of difference between the Cen
eral and the State Government, it does not regret
the stand which has been taken by Maine. This
stand, it would appear, is that of State rights and
State sovereignty Resolutions have also passed the
Senate of Maine, and are to be sent to the House Of
Representatives, the Preamble of which declares
the sovereignty of the State to have been repeated
ly violated by acts of the officers of New Brunswick
and its citizens to have been harrasse,i by various
acts Of sovereignty on the part of New Brunswick.
The Resolutions are as follow:


RESOLVED, That the present is crisis, in which the
government and people of this State have good cause
to look to the Government of the United States for
defence and protection against foreign aggression.


ResolUea further. That if new aggressions shall
be made by the Government of the Province of New
Brunswick upon the Territory Of this State, and
upon its citizens, and the seasonable protection shall
not be given by the United States. the Governor be-
and he hereby is, requested to use all proper and
constitutional means within his power to protect
and defend the citizens aforesaid in the enjoyment
of their rights.


Resolued further. That in the opinion Of this Leg
isature the Executive of the United States ought,
without delay, to demand OF the British Government
the immediate restoration of John Baker, citizen
of this State, who has been seized by the Officers
Of the Province of New Brunswick, within the ter
rltory of the State of Maine, and by them conveyed
to Fredericton in said Province, where he is now
confined in prison ;and to take such measures as will
effect his early release.

hereby is, authorised and requested, with the adj
vice and consent of the Council, from time to time
