GOVERNOR FAIRFIELD'S MESSAGE TO
THE LEGISLATURE OF MAINE!
Auousta. Tuesday, March 13.
Thie dav, at eleven o'clock, tlw* Governor com*
munlcated Uki following Message to Um Legisla
ture;—
To the Sennit and Home of RrprrientaHves—
I herewith ley before you certain document, that
have been transmitted to me by tho lion. John For*
avth, Secretary of State, to wilt—Message of the
President of the United States, transmitted to Con*
girts on thn 20th of Feb.—Letter from Mr. Fox,
the British Minister, to Mr. Forsyth, under date of
23d of the same moiitli—nod thn reply of tlio
Utter on the 23th—letter of Mr. rox to Mr.
Forsyth, of the 25th ult.—Memorandum of nn
agreement between Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth of
tm> some date—and two letters from Mr. Forsyth
to die Governor of this State; under date of 20th
and 27th ultimo.
By tho agreement referred to, It will lm pcrcoiv*
ed, dint Mr. Fox and Forsyth, widiout claiming to
act with aodiority, lutvo recommended that "her
Majesty’s forces w ill not seek to ex|>et by military
force, the armed party which lias been sent by
Maine into tho district bordering on tho Aroostook
riven but tho Government of Maine will voluntari
ly, and without unnecessary delay, withdraw be
yond die bounds of thn disputed teritorv any arm*
ed force now within thorn; and that if future no*
cessity should arise for dispersing notorious tress
passers, or protecting public property from <1
nations by armed force, thn operation shall bo
ducted by concert, joindy or separately, according
to agreement between the Government* of Maine
and New Urunswick.'' Tills, it is said, is recom
mended to tlio Governments of Maine and Now
Brunswick, "to regulate their future proceedings ac
cording to the termshcrrinbcfnrttseilirnrth, until the
final settlement of tlio territorial dispute, or until
the Government of tho United States nud Great
Britain shall come to some definite conclusion on
die subordinate points upon which they arc now at
issue;" to wit, tlio right of temporary jurisdiction
and possession of tlio disputed territory.
The important question nnw presented, is wheth
er die State of Maino will nssent to tho agret ment
or not. Deeming it a question beyond my legiti
mate province to dreide, I communicate tho pajM-rs
relating toil, and ask for instructions; with a de
termination, in fur ns 1 may be aide, to carry into
effect, your decision, whatever it may be.
As I do not wish, turnover, to show any portint,
of tho responsibility fairly duvolving upon me, 1
will proroed, as brieliy as 1 can, to givo my opin
ion in die ense presented, and tho reasons upon
which it is fotmurd.
Shall we then iu accordance with thn agreement,
withdraw your forces from thn disputed territory,
and leave all futuru operations against tresspassers
to bo conducted by concert and agreement w ith tho
Provincial Government l
In determining this question, your attention will
naturally be directed to tlio original design and oii-
ject of tlio movement on your purl—the extent to
wtdeh that object has btxm accomplished—your
constitutional power and right to adopt tlio course
hitherto pursued—ami tlio expediency of contiuu-
ingjto exercise thxt rigid. *
Tlio object in the first place, wax to protect pub
lic property. The territory bonlrring on the Arons*
ik river, iu many respect* tha fairest portion of
Maine, particularly in the noble forests of timber,
and in die extraordinary fertility of soil, has long
been the scene of very extensivu and wiuiton do-
S rvdutions, principally on lliu purt of person* rosi-
ent in, if nut inhabitants of the Province of New
Brunswick. The circumstances in regard to thn
extraordinary depredations committed this winter,
by a band of armed and des|ieruU* men—ilnTfourse
you took to arrest tlivm—tun seizure and imprison
ment of tlm hind agent and ills assistants—I need
not detail,—as they are already fatnilinr to you.—
This iiroret-ding ou our part was denounced by die
Lt. Governor of New Brunswick as nn invasion of
Utat Province and a militury occupation of die ter
ritory threatened, as ulso a forcible expulsion of our
agents if they sluiuld not imuu-dintuiy retire. In
stead, however, of permitting them to retire, you
•cut what was doomed a sufficient military forcu to
sustain thorn, ami also to repel any invasion of our
soil that should Imi attempted.
Tltis I believe to l>o a succinct and unvarnished
statement of your object, and tho method pursued
tooffociit. lias that object boon aceninplishedl

loiru It tvtuovod they will return, tlrrow tlm limlu-r
already cut into the stiratus, and run it down to tlio
St. John's. Thlscnn undoubu-dly ho ncroinpli.hril
by them, without tho tittniMt vigilance mid activity
on our part, It is true, also, that the Lt. Governor
of New Brunswick pnqHises to swing a Immiiii n-
cross tho mouth of thn Aroo.took, toseizn the lim
ber there, foil it, ami idaco the j»rocomL in thn "dis
puted territory fluid. But without intending dis-
roil»oct to thn Governmont of tlio Province, may it
uol well bo doubted whether Muiua would over re
alise nny thing from such a procedure I Would not
thn debts in tills disputed territory account nlwnys
exceed tho credits I Would not the tracks about this
"fund," so far as wo are concerned,liko thosenhoul
the lion's care, bo all otto way T Bu that a, it may,
Maino is callable of superiutuuding her own affairs,
xml ought not to impose that duty ou u iiuiglilHu-iug
Province.
Before answering tho main question, however,
lotus inquire still further os to tlm legality uml pro
priety ol our proceedings thus fur.
My respect for you, will not permit mo to go into
an elaborate argument to show our r.tnnr amt on-
questionable right and title tu tho territory embra
ced within tlui line, running from the source of the
St. Croix due north to tlio lligh-luuds dividing tlio
waters that flow into thu Atlantie Ocean from those
which full into thu rlvor St. Lawrence—thence a-
lung tho said lligh-lands to the nortliwestornnmst
head of Connecticut river. At the Inst session of
Congress the Semite of tho United States udepted
unanimously tho following resolution, viz:
" Resolved, That after u careful examination and
deliberate consideration of thu whole controversy be
tween tho United Stales and Great Britain, tvlntivo
to the N. Eastern Boundary of the former, the Se
nate docs not entertniu a doubt of tho entire practi
cability of running and marking tliut Imumlnry, in
strict conformity with tit* stipulations of tlm defi
nite treaty of |tcarn of 1703; and it entertains a
perfect conviction of tho jnilice and valiJUy of tha
title of the United States to tho full ejctent of all
the UrrUorif in dispute between tlm two powers."
Tho same resolve was ou a subsequent day, in-
ken un in tho House of Representatives, and ’unan
imously adopted by that body. I need sav no more
on tho subject of title, especially to you, with whom
the whole subject is perfectly familiar.
Then a* to tlio right of jurisdiction nnd posses,
aion, white this preposterous claim of Great Bri
tain remain* unsettled—is it in the British Govern
ment by virtue of nn agreement as has been alleged
bytheLt Governor of Now Brunswick, and reiter
ated by Mr Fox at Washington, nr is it not? Tlm
President in his message te Congress on the 2(ith
Feb. after alluding to the allegations of Mr. Fox,
says: The important bearing which such nn agree
ment, (fit existed, would have upon tlm eonditi.m
and interests of the patties, and the influence it
might have upon the adjustment of the dispute, are
too obvioos to allow the error upon which this as
sumption seems tn rest, to pass for a moment with
out correction. In alluding to the cnrrosnondence
between thp Governments upon this subject, lm
says further—" Instead of ausinining this assump
tion of tlio British functionaries, that correspondence
disproves the existence of eny such agreement."
Mr. Forsyth. Secretary of Stale, toa letter of Mr.
Fox, in which this alleged agreement was again pul
forth, under date of the 24>h ult. aays, so far from
any relinquishment of tlte right of jurisdiction hav
ing been made, or any agreement either exnresss-tl
or implied, entered into on the part of tho Govern
ment of the United States, of the nnturv alleged by
the Lieut. Guvemor of New Diunswick, end uflinn-
od also in your note of the 23d in»t. it will appear
from the whole course of the correspondence be
tween the two Governments extending through a se
ries of yeais, that, that of thn United Slates hns
throughout and on frequent occasions, solemnly pro-’
tested as well against the existence of the right to
tha exclusive possession and jurisdiction as to
the exercise thereof, and has upon every proper oc-
eashm asserted that both belonged iu Maine and
thn United States.
This would seem to be enough to settle this qnes-
tloa now and forever. No such agreement has
ever beeiMnnde On the contrary, the right of pot-
seaibonodjutUdWtlnn ha. always been nnd is now,
aaserted by the General Government to he in Maine.
Bui If it bad lawn otherwise, amt tin* Government
of the United States had agreed that the British
Government alum Id have exclusive Jurisdiction and
poMfMioA nFthU territotv, which is acknowledged
t« b« mm, would it havo been binding upon Maine I
Clearly not. Tba raipeciive States of the Union
are sorarelgn and independent, except so far as
that sovereignty Iu* bran restrained or modified
by the Constitution of tho United State*. The Gen
eral Government Is ene of limited and defined pow-
ere. Tba poorer to alienatethe Territory rtf a Slate,
or to trarafer e portion ut it, or tlm Jurisdiction and
possession of it tn a foreign power, fur nn Indefinite
pertud, or fur ene hour,is uo where granted. An
assumption of such a power on the part of the Gene
ral Government, it Is believed, would always meet
lire stern and uncompromising opposition or this
Stale.
But without intending probably Innaserl any rueli
pr.wer.il fa rms lb in has been an understanding
iNMarenihe General Government ond that of Great
Britain, amounting perhaps, «n our side, uj a r
commendation to the State t»f M*iw,r»tl«r than
n contract by which she Wf#uld lot conclusively bnun
Wlint nro the terms of |hut**undrr*ltrading wldrli
has liem tlio prolific source of o*» much ini»under-
standing I Clearly llirae an*l no tnuro : that dur
ing llie pendency of tins question, the two parties
slinul'l eat reise jurisdiction as they had respectful
ly been accustomed to exercise it. Now ovor the
teiriiury suutli of the St. John, especially thn part
of it watered by tlw Aroostook and ir« tritrulary
streams, Mussncbusettsand Maine liuveulaajs laid
pessesiiun and exercised jurinliclhm. A* early as
1793, a large tract, say 2,090,001) of acres, acre
surveyed and located by ngenis nf Mnssarlio-elis
under u bargain and contemplated grant to Jackson
A Flint. I Ins tract embraced u large part of llw
Ariaistouk lerriuiry, ond extended to the river at.
Jnliri. For inme mason or oilier, believed to bn
the inability of the purchasers to pay the conrtiler-
at ion. no grunt was ever actually made. Iu I0«0
and 1C07, grams of large tracts lying upon both
■ides nf tba Arnosliajk weremudenf .Mnssacba-ells
to tin) town nl Plymouth and General Lalnri, which
havo ever since Iweu held by them and their grant-
nes. Soon after the separation of Mama anil .Mas-
aneliiisatis, these lands, extending nearly J" the St.
John, on tlio south, were surveyed, arid some nl
them divided und held in severally 1-y tho two
Slates.
For several yenrs, commencing nt rnrly as 1821.
ncetnx were sent In llm Aroust-Hik by the Gov. of
.Maine, fur lire purpose of arresting trespassers up
on llm public Inrids. In 1821, Rrnj. J. Purler,
Esq. w u* Hint in that terriiorv by Guv. King. fi*r
that purpose. Mr. I'nrier look iheeitynf St. John
nnd r le.ierirton in Ids way, and consulted with Mr.
Attorney General Weimom U[Hirilho subject nfpun-
Ishirig British sulijirntsfor that intrusion unnn our
territory. The Attorney Gunerul said, ••the Gov-
eiiirneiitof New Brunswick would unqoeslioniddv
render t very possible facility to punish the offend
ers, ns they hnd suffered grautly in tliut Province,
(N. B.) by such lawless pillages." This is thn
languagn of Ml. Porter, taken from Ids report mndtf
July, 1821, and rmw ttu file in the office uf tlte Sec-
rrtnty of State. Mr. Porter proceeded tn the scene
of depredation upon tlm Aroosionk, broke up the
irespussing, nnd compelled tlnrse engaged in
it to .ellle with him, giving their note* for then-
mount of d imago duo. These notes wrere left w illi
un Attorney nt Woodstock, nod were collected by
suits prosecuted in ills* Provincial County.
Similar agonuios with similar results, I understand,
havo frequently boon instituted l»y this Government.
Mnssariiusetts lias long been in tlio haliit of gran
ting permits to cut timber upon her townships on
this stream; and though with tlio knowledge of tho
Provincial Government, without any attempt on tho
part of the latter to forbid or provunt It, so fur as I
am informed. Maino has for several years liecn
expending largo sums of money iu making a road
through tho territory, nnd has sold nnd conveyed por
tions of tills sumo territory to actual settlers, with
out anticipating or receiving any opposition on tho
part of tlio 1'rovincinl Government. I um also
credibly informed, that claims iu favor of tho inhnhi-
toots of tlm Province, against settlers upon tlm
Aroostook, nrc prosecuted by the creditors in tho
Courts of Maine. Tlmso (acts, with othors licit
might In* mimed, go to show that tlm jurisdiction
nnd possession of this territory is not and never lias
Into in New Brunswick, but, so fur ns tlm unsettl'd
condition of u portion of the euiintry woidd permit,
in Maine and Alussarjiusotts. Upon this point I
urn happy also to be aldo to add u vety apposite quo
tation from a letter from Mr. Viui Duran, while Se
cretary of Suite in 1U29, to Sir (.’linrles Vnugimn.—
lie aiiys—"tho undersigned cannot acquiesce in tlio
supposition that because the Agent .of his Britannic
Majesty thought proper, in tho proceedings before
tlm Commissioners to lay claim to all that portion
of the Statu or Muiim which lies north of tlio line
running westerly from Mars Hill, nnd designated as
ilin limit nr houndary nf thn British claim, thereby
tlm United States or tlm State of Miinn, censed to
linve jurisdiction in tho territory thus claimed. In
tlm view of this Government,' his Britannic Majes
ty's Agent might, with cqunl,justice, havo extended
Ids claim to any other disputed part of tlm Stutu as
to claim tlm portion of it which lm lias drawn in
question; and in ouch rase, tlm Lieutenant Governor
of .New Brunswick could surely not have considered
a rontinuniico outlie part of the United States, nnd
of the Slate of Maine, to exercise tlmir accustomed
jurisdiction und uutlmrity, to lie tin encroachment.
If so, in nliut light lire we to rcguid llm continued
acts of jurisdiction now exercised by him in the
Mudawnska settlement? More than twenty-yenrs
ago (urge tracts of Itmd lying westward of Mars llill,
and northward ou thu river Hestook, were grunted
by .llm State ofMussnrluisctts, which tracts are held
and possessed under tlmso grants to* this day; nml
llm United Suites and llm States of Massachusetts
and Maine, in succession, have never ceased to ex
orcise dim jurisdiction which the unsettled condition
of tlm country in tliut region, nud oilier circumstan
ces admitted and required.”
Surely there cuiihu lm need of multiplying words
upon lids point. If tlm British Government hove
any jurisdiction ovor lids portion nf our territory, it
may "with equal jusdee'' claim to have it over the
county ol Kennebec. Uol why should we lm com
pelled to resort to facts of this description In pros,
our jurisdictionT If tho title he in Maine, iln
jurisdiction follows of ruurim. No power can linvi
a right of jurisdiction over a tel ritory Imlongoig in
llieSiHle of Muine, und imlliing hot tliut extreme
spirit of pence nnd forbearance fv winch Maine lint
been so long urinated, c mid induce her to argue
such a point fur a moment.
Is limn, the title, possession, nnd jurisdiction nf
Maino be nearly established, why is she not justi
fied iu hoi present attempts to protect tim property
ou lids territory from plundri. and tlm soil itself
against Invasion f It is iiaid to believe that nny
man can la* found—any American I should on)—of
unenrtupted patriotism, nr.d \*lio»e mind is not poi-
»nned by prejudice, who will deny it
Oil this point thn I’rnsidettt says—"Tho Stnto of
Muine laid a right tu arnvst l lie depredations com
plained of—it belongs to Imr to judge of tlm exi
gency of the occasion calling ior her interfer
ence."
The able report of the Committee nf Foreign re
lations, in the House of Uepre-emntives nt \Vn«h
ingtoti, says*—" Every Government in the Union Inn
a right to regulate tlm landed interest; whether pub
lic or private, within ita limits, nnd Maino stand*
upon tlm same fouling, unless as to such parts of it
as me dachlcd not to bo under its jurisdiction by
tlm exercise of the constitutional powers of the Fed
eral Government. But ns has already been observ
ed, no proceeding or agreement of the Federal Go
vernment rnn lm found, which did not recognise an
actual jurisdiction,just such ns that nnw claimed
and enforced by Maine.” Again it says—"The pro-
rlsmntion of the Lieut. Governor of New Bruns
wick wns issued before any steps were taken by
Maine to sii.iuin tho civil by llm military power,
aed was directed against tun interference of the
ministerial officers of tha law, acting in strict con-
fmmity witllVlint are Mievi-dtola* fundamental
principle* of Dritiriini well ns American law. Tlm
first appeal to military force was made by hint, and
llm subsequent proceed ytg* of Muirw w etc defensive
merely."
Bat 1 need not quote particular expressions.
Tlm wkola Report i* x lucid nnd forcible exposition
of the injustice of tho proceedings of tho Govern
ment of New Brunswick,and a triumphant vindica
tion of tlie course pursued by Maine, Tlm almost
unanimous vote of the House of Representatives up
on tlm bill reported by the some committee, intend
ing to carry out llm views expresesd in tlm report—
the unanimous vote of tlio Senate upon tlm same hill,
also furnish to Maine tha most conclusive and grati-
Tying proof «ifthe rectitude of her morse. In ac
cordance with all this, I take pleasure in saying,lias
heen tho general voice of tlio American Press, Such
unanimity of opinion and feeling among tlio mass uf
the people—such a spirit of enthusiasm, pervading
all classes of society, il isappichrndcdha* seldom
been witnossed.—Nothing could bo more gratifying
to Maine, and sure I am, that it will constitute a
perpetual source ofgrateful recollection to her virtu
ous ansi intelligent sons.
Under these circumstances, thn question recurs,
shall we withdraw our forces atteealdy to the re
commendation contained in the M« tnorandu signed
by Mr. Fox and the Secretary of State—ahd leavo
tho future protection of tho timber to tlm concurrent
action ami agreement of the Government* of Maine
and Now Urunswick f Under n full sense of the
responsibility sestiof upon me. V have no hesitation
in saying, that we ouglil not, 1 admit that the
General Govern use nl has nobly responded to uur
from tlm territory M'-d of invasion/ which tsno' tit
our military force m repel, still r» maino pending
over os, while litlti-h troops, il L ooderstoed, are
daily runamirotio^ near rim line with tho apparent
purpose(Trnrryinz 'lie avowed design tiflhe Lieut.
Governor of New limnswirk into effect.
But, looking n IrttUs more minutely nl the terms
r-f ihi* iicieemeot, tlm objection* to it are obvious.
In the first pi ire: it woo d mnku our movement
upon the question of the Boundary a leirngaile
movement. I It.trad of having made any advance
toward the neqni-itian of our iiithi«, ami teiminii-
lion of the question in dispute, out position would
not really be »o favorable as it was G-f-re
curre.iiu of tlio*** events which linve indorel tins
••memorandum." Then, we (mil exclusive juris
diction over this portion of ill** tcrrlloiy. Under
thn agreement we should tody have a concurrent
juris liclion with the Province of New Broo-wi'k—
for W‘* could not expel a single iresfm*ser w ithout in
the first place agreeing with tlio Provincial Govern
ment, as to the in inner of doing It. It* biogoigo
is tbus s •• And if future necessity should arise for

lic property from depredation by armi-d force, I lie

Again, this ngrecuicnt t« inadm ssilde, because,
of the irregularity of its term*. By t, Maine is
absolutely to will.draw bur force*. But, are tbe
Torres of tim BritUh Government also to bn with
drawn? Not at all. Tliut Government is simply
•fmin from ntlemptiog to do. what i( nnver bud
the right or power of lining, that of expelling os
from the territmy. It is understood tint a regi
ment of British troops, lately arrived front Quebec,
is now ut Mndawituku—ami llioio they may te-
main for nu-hi loth- contrary in the terms of the
agreement—urccl f-irtificnliun* to their lienrl*' con-’
tent-nnd exercise any power they pletisa short of
ultempting toiixpe) os from tlm territory.
Auollior objection to tlii* agreement arise*, from
its eqnivocul, phraseology upon one point which
mi .-lit piova lolro herenf.cr lliu source of much
mimoderstunding and difficulty. One of them is in
regard tn, whether the armed pnssn under tlm
Land Agent nod Shrriff, is included in the "nrmrd
force" required by llm *• memorandum" tain- with
drawn from the territory. If tlui ngn-cmue* should
bo construed against it*, in this respect, wo could
not harHnftiir expel a single trespasser unless me
Governor of New Brunswick climild kindly agree
with us upon siltin' mido in which it might be ef-
fueled. To ourli an ngn rment I trust .Maine will
never assent. Sim has been sufficiently trammelb-rl
heretofore in llm exorcise of Imr right*, and wid

tion to do so here. But it appear* this is not ui be
the case; und the Whig party arc coiling tuuud to
their purttzans to rally ut the approaching election 1
If tho Democratic party are truo to themselves in
this County,they cuu send whom they please. Yet I
atn not disposed to extend any hostility to uur uld
opponents with whom wo have fought for the past
live years. t
1 would extend the hund of fellowship tn thoto of
tho "State Rights" party who still cherish "State
Rights" doctrines—as understood now in S. Caro
lina. 1 would say to thorn come uut from among
tin "Whigs," bundle not, touch nut, tho foul
things of Abolitionism, Tariffism, Internal improve
ment and National Dankism, and wo will recoivo
you as brothers.—And I atn sure, Mr. Editor, there
nrc nvuiy in our community who arc willing to for*
get old dif'iudions, and unite as a band of patriots
fjr tho common weal of tho country.
Let not false pride deter any from forming this
Union. All wo wish is for tho uld fashioned De
mocracy of '98 and '99. Wo wish to discard all
minor diCarcnccs uf opiuion. If tltcso views bo met
by our hitherto political opponents, wo will mce*
them half way, and if they will follow in tho magna'
nitnnus footsteps of S. Carolina, and their leader,
Mr. J.C. Calhoun; wo will have peace in our State,as
they havo in S. C'urulina. So moto it to.
But if there are those who will bo unmcndfal or
tho good nf our common State and country,and will
pursue a course, which we think hostile to our best
interests, and the interest of the whole South, by ac
ting in uuioh, with men who are avowedly inimical
to us, nnd in pulling down tho Administration of
Mr. Van Buren,who is decidedly with us in ail im

regret to lenrn tint the steamer Gilenian, Captain
Dcluhotissaye, was totally destroyed by fire thn 7th
tistant, while navigating tho bayou Tosh*, about
i 12 miles from Franklin. The passengers were nil
jn bed when tlm alarm was given, nnd scarcely had
time to esenpo with their lives,. The origin of the
fire is unknown. It broke out in the hold nearly un
der the ladies cabin—and tlm principal part of tlio
rargo being of a combustible nature, in n few mo

FROM NASSAU, NEW PROVIDENCE
The Now Orleans Bulletin, lOthiust. says*.—To
the politeness of Messrs. Hiier & Waterman, cuu-
signcss of the schooner Convoy, from Nassau, we
nre indebted for files oftho Royal Gazette to tho 2d
of March. A few days previous to' the sailing of
tlio Convoy, Uic Governor had issued his proclania-
motion dissolving the Gotland Assembly. Tho rep
resentatives were thus sent hack to their constitu
ents, and new writs of election issued. The motive
for this arbitrary proceeding ofhis Excellency was
not known. Tlio sudden dissolution hod created
quite a sensation at Nassau, and over the whole is
land. It was expected that grout excitement would
ensue at the coming election. Them was no other
local news of interest. An arrival had brought dates
of tlio 3d February from Jamaica. They confirm
tlie distressing accounts received here of tlie de
crease of production, aud tho insubordinate and idle
ness prevailing among the laboring classes.
From Mai**.—Th* lust’mail brine* ns nothing
