:. ~ b.A z ~. sAA--7- hs people iRIng III tho disputed territory, are, itappears in rathera singular position, belonging 10 no nation aud yet claimed by two.

 .Madamasha.-We learn that the inhabi- tants of Madawaska have been taxed by tho British government, and the tax has been collected with much r;gor, that the British hold undisturbed possession and have built a court house; that the inhabitants are sui iering much from want, their crops having been scaniy the last season. Ks the town haa been incorporated by the Legislature of Name, and the inhabitants assured of the protection of the United States, they pre- pared memorial to our government asking assistance and protection, which vas sign ed by number, but subsequently seized & destroyed by the British authorities. They have. however. sent on delegate to sec Governor Dunlap, and ask the assistance ot the State. The delegate we learn has been to Brunswick, where the Coy. now is, and obtained an order on the treasurer for a small sum of money. The authority ot the Governor to do this may be ques. toned, but We arc not inclined to urge that point in this case. We have not seen the delegate, but gather the foregoing state. ments from those who conversed with him. We were told many years ago that if Ger: jackson could be elected President We should soon have our territory secured but Instead ot this We first find him rcuucstinty tho Governor of Brunswick to gar- doa and release from prison, upon condition q a'ot repeating tte offence against his Bri- tisil majesty, certain persons of Ma,lawas- ka who had been guilty of the heinous crime of proceeding 10 incorporate the town pursuance of t special law of .h.. State of Maine. Next we find him trying to get the Dutchmat'5 award accepted; and this being stopped by the Senate, VIC have another decree requisang the Legislature of Name to bargain away the territory for ..ir, ample indemnity in land or money, in sc- efet session; and now we find the British government taxing the inhabitants and using as full authority as over any part of New Brunswick; while our government. Slate and National, looks on with appa- rent unconcern.

 A western paper very well remarks:--- The immortal Washington signed the charter of the old Bank of the United States--and sixteen out of nineteen of the framers of the present Constitution, who were in Congress at that time, voted for banls--yet we find persons of the present day--persons who perhaps have never read the Constitution of their country, de- claring 1t to be an infringement of that Constitution 10 establish a National Bank. Who are the best judges!'

 The Globe and the Argus, those twin saucepans of the Kitchen, are nettled and worried at the new party appelasion of WHIGs, which is spreading over the country and must overwhelm and bear down every opposition. The Globe wishes to call them Banhifes-the Argus is apprehensiye that it may. involve the Safeht Fsp,d Bnahifes. so the name will not fake. Whig and Tory are party distinctions so applicable 10 ths times, that they must prevail.
