FROM ‘ HS BO V T'JV pa 7*Rlbt* “C ‘* ‘ ‘ ri* ♦ ,* A Spark from the Altar of *751 CONVENTION IN MAINE I The Portland Argus ot Thursday last contains the truly patriotic and spirited proceedings of a convention of Delegates from the several towns m the county of Oxford, (District of Maine ) on the dis graceful and, ruinous policy whicn has long been pursued bv Massachusetts, We venture to pivt i t, that tiiiie>s a diT rent course of proceed.ng js adopt ed ; unless instead of -thwarting the National Government in w)I its efforts foe the protection and defence of the p untry ; instead of attempting to make inroads upon our free and happy Con stitution, and ippointing Conventions to “ enfeeble the sacred hands” which u nite our great and powerful confederal cy ; unless instead of all this, they spee. dily take American'ground. and co-ope i ate With the National Government iri itiefforts to expel the enemy from Maine; unless, we repeat, a state of things like this is produced, we have no hesitation in predicting that Maine wilt « and of right ought to he;’ absolved from all connexion with British Massachusetts The people of Maine, as well as their leading men, possess courage, patriot ism and energy in an eminent degree. Tor months and eVen years, they have seen the constituted authorities oftne on -7 free country in tile universe; (be men oi their choiCe. and the choice of aii u mense majority of their countrymen ; oearded, insulted, opposed and even threatened by factious Massachusetts ! And what is the founda'ion ot those dis graceful proceedings ? Simply because Congress, in obedience to the loud and reiterated calls of. their constituents, whose gallant spirits could ho lov'er brook the daily accumulating injuries and indignities of England, declared war against that haughty and ovtrpow mg power. lhe people of Maine deseive o-reat credu lor theii forbearance. /Alti.Wff they have beheld Massachusetts i n up. poaicion to tl.e most solemn injunctions or Washington, busily employed in m* be mining the great fabric oi our union although they nave witnessed, repeated ad deadly blows aimed at their liber ies, still they have forborne to do them selves justice, by assuming that rank and importance in the Union to which tncy have so just a claim, ft was not Until one third of their territory had beep suffered to remain, month after month, iff possession of the enemy, without any effort to expel him ; it was not till they beheld Massachusetts en deavoring to thwart the National Go yeriimeni in its efforts lor the recovery 6i this territory, and even appointing conventions, which chn only have a ten dency to assist and. encourage the ene my, that the free and hardy citizens of Maine resolved to summon the energies of their district into the cause of their much injured country. y ;i - 4 1 he following is the paV ragrapn of the Report of the Oxford Convention, and tiie Resolutions. It remains tor youitellow citizens, to oppose an impenetrable barrier to the aspiring hopes of disappointed men! In* vile your republican brethren through out the District of Maine to a general Convention. Your Legislature has set you the example. Unite with zea{ m the cause# and rally round the Standard oj Union . Be firm and watch full and your liberties are safe. Peace will a gam smile upon your land# in spite of your locs at home and abroad—dvery nation must have its rise and decay.—/ Great Britain is at her zenith of prosper-’ Ity and power, but an overruling Provi dence, or circumstanues as hnexpecied as her acquisition of strength* Will wrest it, from her.; she will abandon her un just pretentions, and your country will triumph. . , n > , i ‘ \ ‘ therefore Resohedj That it is expe dieru mat the District of Maine const!- luie a part ot the State ot Massachusetts no longer than the S ate of Massachu setts gives support to the Union.
