which their poweisof thought and utterance have
been entirely vitiated. In fact, they can come »o
scarcely any other conclusion : for they are total

■political storm, with its invidious blast, has ceased
to dpsolate or threaten destruction j that every
political faction, which, but a short time since,
rotje at random upon the winds of heaven, and
spread its due and damned influences amongst us,
lias now received its long wanted furlough, ae
ronipanied with tlie command, to leave fiend Cos
lumbia’s shores, and bury its tumult, discord and
venom in the vast immensity of the deep. The
arm that gave it power has, iudnf* time, been pal

doleful declamations ut liberty’s destruction
throughout the wide world, has been deprived of

might, however, had the i.tw never been enacted,
feel himself perfectly a: liberty to say what he
pleased, as no man of any sensibility should think
| ol noticing any one who would condescend to use
j such insulting and ungenfletnaoly language.
It is a matter of astonishment to us, that the
! Van Huron papers of t. e South, and especially
■ of Georgia, should take up the cudgel in defence
: of so notorious an Abolitionist as this samo Dr.
, Duncan, no matter what other doctrines lie es

is the fact that Dr. DuDcan is the greatest mail
now in the nation, next to the ‘greatest and best,’
and the Little Prince, who now disgraces the
Presidential Chair. How they can reconcile it to
their consciences to attempt to uphold such a
man, we arc entire'y unable to imagine, unless
they are disposed to hug to their bosoms everv
infuriated Abolitionist who may cry “long live
the Prince of Kittderhook."' But were Dr. Dun
can no Abolitionist, it would be a matter of some
surprise that any set of men, who enjoy the bles
sing of civilization, should he found lauding tiie
conduct ot so reckless and outrageous a charac
ter, and oik* so lost to all sense ot honor and de
cency.
The Mate of Maine lias beeu thrown . ,to rort
i.ierablr excitement, in com-equence ot the con
duct of the Governor ot New B.uuswick, a fro
THK GEORGIA MlttltOlt
viuce belonging to the government of England ;
and some have •ppreheutieu k difficulty tuay arise
between tins country aud Eugland as the conse
quence of their proceedings. We have no doubt
but there has been an unnecessary excitement
creited by both parties, but have uo idea that any
thing hk« a serious difficulty is to b > apprehen
ded irotu their movements, although Maine has
put on quite a belligerant appearance, her Legis
lature having unanimously voted SBOO,OOO tocar
ry the war iutothe enemy’s country. Wo have
been !ed to the conclusion that no serious tldLcul
ty need be apprehended, from reading the plain,
cc !ninii;i sense remarks ol the National Intelligeu
cer, whose opinions on subjects of this kiud ate
generally correct. They are as follows :
The case now before us presents a question
never exceeded iu gravity aud solemnity by any
that lias ai ism unde r our Couslitulion. To rcuf
ize the truth of this remark, it is sufficient to
state it.
The Executive of the United States, tho au
thority solely charged with negotiations tor the
adjustment ot dtliereuces between the (J. States
and foreign Powers, Las been engaged iu treating
with the corresponding authority iu the Kritisii
Goveini* eut lor the settlement of disputed boun
dary line between our Northeastern territory and
that ol Great Britain. This negotiation is going
on, slowly, to be sure, and with the exhibition of
some pertinacity on tho part of the British Uov
etnment, but still on a footing perfectly amica
ble, wiruout the generation ot any hostile senti
ment between the representatives or people of the
two Powers; aud there is no reason to despair of
tiie ultimate termination of the controversy^in a
me tier satisfactory to both parties. Under such
circumstances, tiie Governor of the Etatc of
Alatne, who is not, and cannot be a party iu the
negotiation, gets the Legislature to authorize
him to s.’tid out a body of men to drive to British
subjects off from the laud which Great Britain
claims and actually occupies,aud which is claimed
al*o as territory oi the United States. Iu this
conduct, has not the Governor of Maine put at
hazard tiie peace of the whole Union in a wanton
and unjustifiable manner? Is it consistent with
reason, or with the spirit ot the Constitution, that
the Executive officer ol any State Government
shall be allowed to plate himself in collision,
wuetner wilfully or tecidessly, with the authori
ties of a foreign nation, with whom the Constitu
tion denies to him the power either to
or pea e, or even to negotiate, and defeat the
policy and purposes of the authority iu the Gen
eral Government to whom those powers are con
fined ; Most wisely has the Constitution guard
ed the war power front abuse even under its own
otgh tutlioi .ty. \\ ar can ho made by no author
'ry shore of that ot the Congress of the United
Srat-s. including the Senate, House of Repre
sentatives, and President of the United States.
So far from their having sanctioned these bellig
erant operations ou the frontier of Maine, the fii"r
that Congress hears of them is, that the Governor
ol Maine is actually levying war against a Power
in amity with the United States. The guards
with which the Constitution fenced around this
highest of all the powers that man can exercise
are in danger of being broken down. In vain were
all the caution and tiie wisdom of the Revolution
exerted in the formation of the Constitution,
“And fools rush in where Angels fear to tread,”
if its. most sacred provisions may bo thus sacri
ficed to the success of mere party schemes, or
made the sport of any State’s caprice.
r l he Government ot Maine, it will be perceived,
after having authorized the calling out of troops,
and provided the means of paying them, calls
upon tiie Government of tho United States to
1 . ] it's aid to support the rights of that State
We cannot anticipate the action of the Govern
ment on tins head. We can readilv conceive
that the Executive will feel himself perplexed
by the invitation w icit Maine has offered
to him to assist her to fight the Government which
ho is negotiating with. Fortunately, Congress
is in session, and ir may be hoped that there is
prudence and wisdom enough in the two Houses
to induce them to enable tho Executive to assist,
not iu making war, hut in keeping the peace be

Affairs in Maine and on the Northeastern

NEW-YORK, Feb, “2.
The Harder Troubles.— - Having no Eastern
mail this morning, we have no further intelligence
from Maine, except verbal reports from passen
gers by the Joint W. Richmond, and slips and
letters from Boston, dated the 2(?th, brought by
the passengers of the Richmond. A slip front
the office of the Boston Times, received at Hale's
News Room, states on the authority of a passen
ger by the Eastern stage, that on receipt of an of
ffieial communication front Sir John Harvey,
claiming exclusive jurisdiction over the disputed
territory, by agreement between the government 1
of the United States and Great Britain, and urg
ently requesting the withdrawal of the .Maine for
ces, Governor Fait field sent ano'lier special mes
sage to the Legislature, declaring that he would
never recognize the claim, or the agreement,
on which it was ret up, and avowing his determ- !
ination to persev re in the course he had com- j
nte need.
Irt this determination tho Legislature, it ap- !
pears, is fully prepared to sustain the Governor
for on the passage of a resolution appropriating j
the sum of ?POO.COO for tiie prosecution of the war
if war it must be—-the vote was unanimous in
the affirmative.
A Communication has been made by >ovcrnor
Fairfield to Governor Everett, of Massachusetts, !
inviting that State to share the expenses of the j
Military demonstrations; but it is reported that ■
Governor Everett, in his message to the Legisla
ture of Ills own -State, comtnuticatiu.g that of
Governor Fairfield, has very property .i ; . . -t
his opiniou to be that it will be rune euou. fi lor
M.jsjaehmetta to interfere when called on by tiie
Goverumcut of the t utted Stales.
Boston, Fel». 20,1839.—The news frt ■fit Maine
is alarming. Governor Everett, has, L learn, pre
pared a message to the Legislature ou the sub
ject. From his exculieut character and great
wisdom, I anticipate something which will tend
to arrest the rash proceedings of G veruor Fair
field of Maine. The Governor ol Ma.uecert tiu-
Iv ought to have asiteJ the Governor of New
Brunswick to aid iu expsjltug tho iresptss-rs,
panieuaily as tl . Livingston, as Secretary oi
State, proposed that neither Government should
crcrcisejurisdiction over the disputed territory
during ueg jciatious and tho British Miuister rea
dily acceded thereto. Nothing but the good sense
of the people of this country cun extricate us from
the dliiculty.
P. S. Governor Everett has just sent hi s mes
sage to the Legislature. He says the sovereignty
| aud jurisdiction of this land Belongs to Maine,
ami the United States, aud that should unhappi
!y circumstances cause the General Goveriint mt
to call on Massachusetts for force to act in pro
tecting the territory of Maine, she will cheerfully
reepoutl to the call. The message is short and a
good one. The impression here is, that this
matter will be settled without war between the
United States aud Great Britain, although New
Brunswick and Maine may come to the spilling ot
blook.
The message, in the Legislature, was committed
to a select joint comioittde, together with the. let
ter of Gov. Fairfield and the accomyauying doc

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM MAINE.
The State in Anns.—-We are indebted to our
attentive correspondents of the Boston Atlas, for
a slip, dated Bostoii, Wednesday, 10 A. M from
which we derive the annexed deeply interesting
and important intelligence. It is evident that,
unless moderation aud discretion prevail in the
councils "f both parties, steps tuny now be taken
leading to results of the deepest consequence t.i
the peace of tho world.
4 [Correspondence of the ffas.j
SeSatjj Cuvmuisr, Augusta, Feb. IU H 39.
Th« crisis has at length arrived, and Maine is
iu arms to sustain her honor and the integrity ot
her soil. An express has arrived this morning
bringing au official communication from Sir John
Harvey, iQ which he says he shall repel aII inva
sion—he says that he “claims ixrlUsn:e juris Jr -
tion.”
Eight thousand troops hove been order J out
to carry into execution the Resolve passed by t ie
Legislature of Maine, which was to seize the
Trespassers and the lumber cut on the dispute:)
territory. McLaughlin, the Land Agent of the
provinces, has been arrested, and is r:otv at Ban
gor. The greatest excitement prevails, and a
fixed determination to sustain our rights at ail
hazards.
State House, Augusta, Feb. I?, —A
special messenger arrived here last night from Sir
John Harvey, Lt. Governor of the Province ot
New Brunswick. He has been sent to demand of
our Governor that the forces of this State that
have been sent to arrest the trespaatwes on the
Aroostook, 4Cc. shall be immediately removed
from her majesty's dominions. The Messenger
from Sir John Harvey informs our Governor that
Ale Intire, our Land Agent, is at Fredertefeton.
and that he will be retained there by order of the
Provincial Government.
Front the Aroostook, 1 learn that Mr. Mc-
Laughlin, the Warden of the disputed territory,
appointed by Sir John Harvey, came to No. 10
on 'be Aroostook, where our forces are stationed,
and commanded them to leave the territory forth
with. Caps. Rines who was in command, arres
ted him and sent him to Bangor, where he arrivtd
yesterday. Gov. Fairfield has directed Gen.
Hodgdon to order out. o pc thousand of his divis
iou to proceed forthwith to the support of our
forces ou the Aroostook- two hundred men are
now there, and Sheriff Strickland has enlisted five
hundred men by order of the Governor, who are
on their way there—-sixty of them left town Yes
terday, making in all a force of seventeen Jinny
drerl men now at, and ordered to, the vicinity of
the Aroostook.
Our Governor has this morning issued orders
to each of the Commanding Officers of the eighth
Division of the Mi!it?a of this State, to order one
thousand men to be drafted from e tch of their res
pective divisions, to hold themselves in readiness
to bo called into actual service.
Barge Turnip. —Wrn. Hilliard, Esq. raised
on his plantation, near this place, the pas* season
a turnip, of the flat kind, measuring 31;}inches
in circumference. Tho largest of which we have
ever heard. Who can beat it?— Georgia Mirror :
I IHli inst.
Wo can? Wc have no- in ottr office the
very turnip for that purpose, brought from the
county of Burke, raised on the plantation of Col.
Geo. W. Evans, of that county, std by him
presented to us on Friday last 1 Tt measures
35.} inches in circumference, being 4.} inches
larger, friend Mirror, than your Chattahoochee
turnip, Col. Evans informs us that there were
very n atty others as large, and a few still larger,
which he has reserved for seed. Curiosity prompt
ed him to weigh several of the heaviest, one of
which weighed 12 lbs. 7 ounces, and anotjiet 12
lbs 2 ounces.---Augusta Sentinel.
We acknowledge, friend Sentinel, ourselves
beaten in the Turnip line; but are something like
the boy who got whipped but did not intend to
remain so only till he got bigger, far a friend at our
elbow says he means to raise one next season, that
will lav your 37} inch completely in the shad''!
Till then, we are “like a poor man at a frolic,” not
another word to say !
WESTERN BANK OF GF.ORGTA.
Rumors affecting the standingof this institu

formed of it; but if, on the contrary, it is able to
pay its debts, let that be satisfactorily shown, and
