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
