Mr. Sullivan, noticing the aff.irsof Maine
after the restoration, says, there is a mys
tery in the proceeding of this government
which it is impossible, from any documents
now remaining, to explain, respecting the
magistrates appointed in the Sheep-cot ri-
verj but lie obre,v<n,,»the goverriin-.nU of
Hew England colonies were a check and
an impediment, in the early day, to the
strides of monarelty. The principle ol mi
hereditary authority is easily established,
in the moment of conquest, over a conquer
ed 1 people; but the New England colonies
may emphatically be said to be barn tree.
They were -settled originally upon the
Idea expressed at this day in all their
forms of government, that'ail men a.-e born
free, equal, and independent.’ Among
the reasons lie assigns for (lie submissi
to the orders of the levolution, the most
.pnweiful was from apprehensions of bein
ceded to France. Almost every otlie
reason was annihilated by their political
situation. Mr. Sullivamobseives, “win
the revolution of 1C88 took place in Eu
land, the eastern country was in a wretch
Cil state of w at (are, anil before the yeai

fore the incorporating it with the province
of Massachusetts was no real advantage to
that government, otherwise than us the
people there wished to avoid having a re-
ular government, established in that pa:
ot the continent.” The greater appre lien
sinn was, that, if left in its negle. led or
separate state, it might more easily lal'
under foreign power. A glance at tiie ail

"We have to record snotner melancholy

These were charged with an unusual
