RAIL ROAD MEETLNO.
At a large and respectable meeting of,
the citizens of Franklin, Mori &' West, '
township, and points adjacent in Hun
tingdon co, held at the house of Mr.
Jacob Minnick, L in the village:of Grays- 1
port—on Wednesday, the 27th February,
ut pursuance of notice.
Mr. Robert kMoore, (Ironmaster) was
called to the chair; John McPherron, V.
President; Alexander Stewart, Secretary.
The object of the meeting baying been
stated by the chair.
Oa motion of S. Miles Green Esq; a
committee of eight was !appointed.by the
Chair, to draft a preamble and resolutions
expressive of the sense et the meeting.
Whereupon, S. iMiles Green Esq, Mr.
John [sett, James Wilson, Hugh Suds, Jno
Davis, Samuel McPherron, Adam Keith,
and J. B. Mathias, were appointed said
committee—Who after a short interval,
reported as follows.
Whereas, we have looked on with deep
and anxious solicitude, for years past, at
the precarious navigation that has exis
ted from below the mouth of the Little
Juniatta; westward, as far as Hollidays
burg, along . the line of the Pennsylvania
canal. Owing to its peculiar location,
through nisi row valleys, and through the
gorges at precipitcus hills and mountains,
always subject it, to sudden floods, in—
undations, and consequently, continual
breaches.
And IVhereas, we know from personal
inspection, and have often regretted the
scarcity of water. fur many miles east of
Hollidaysburg, rendering navigation al
most useless, even to empty boats; for
weeks together, in the months of Septem
ber, October and November.
And Whereas, the extensive breach,
and almost total annihilation of the entire
canal, of dams, bridges, locks, acqueducts
tow-paths, &c., in June last; loudly and
fearfully warn us, to prepare for similar
occerrenceN
And Whereas, Had not the said catas
trophe, occurred, last season, to interrupt
the navigation--experience has informed
us, that the draught would have closed
the navigation from the Water Street dam
to Hollidaysburg', beyond all doubts, a die
tance of nearly - thirty miles.
And Whereas. after the repairs had
been completed. Grua. Itollidayatlurg oast,
as far as Peter Good's, a distance of eight
or ten miles, some weeks before the win—
ter season set in, and although a large a
mount of merchaadize had been deposited
there by waggons from Huntingdon, be
low the breach. Yet, not one poorlil of it
could move west, towards its destination;
because the canal thence to Hollidaysburg
was almost a 'DRY DITCH.'
And whereas, the extensive improve
meets in the West, to wit, the Ohio canal,
connected with the Mahomiog, the Sandy
and Beaver canal, and the Erie extension
are fast hastening to a completion. The
various and immense amount of produce
for transportation on these several canals'
will necessarily seek the Atlantic board
fora market—we as citizens of Pennsyl
vania, imbued, we hope, with a prosier
spirit—"ambitious and proud to see "Our
Keystone State take the van in the march
•f internal improvernents—shoi:ld greatly
regret, and feel deeply chagrined, to see
the products of the /l est, and the vast
amount of Merchandize from the East,'
pass through any other channels, than
these of our own canals and rail ways.
And whereas, we have read with much
interest a communication published in the
U.S. Oaiette of the 13th inst., over the
signature of Tublins,'--the ideas therein
advanced, fully corresponding with our
own, as to the mode and manner of
"strengthening the weak point" along our
canals, believing that a Reservoir at Johns
town, and a Rail way from liollidaysborg
via the Tuekahoe I alley to Tyrone For
ges, thence down the little Juniata River
to Huntingdon, are the most leasable and
permanent, way to accomplished this
touch desired and all important improve
ment.
And whereat.. we believe the Common
wealth to be greed! interested in the con
struction of this conts:nplated Rail Road.
Not only on account of its making a di
rect permanent improvement from Phila
delphia to Pittsburg—but becaus,i it will
be the means of almost uniting the West
Branch Canal, by the Spring Creek aZid
Bald Eagle Canal (or Burnside: Canal),
the intervening distance, from the Bor
ough of Mileaburg, in Centre County, via' ,
the Bald Eagle Valley being only about
twenty miles, and along an almost per
fect plane.
And whereas, should the said Rail way
be constructed, there will be an immense
amount of tonage !blown upon it—to wit.
from a pretty accurate estimate, of the
Manufactories alone, immediately on its
line, in huntingdon Comfy—there will
be 23273 Ton of Bloom Iron, pig me
tal; Ore, &c. annually—all of which are
now conveyed by waggon to the canal
and Portage flail Road. Therefore
Regolvid, That petitions be prepared
to La presented to the Legislature. and
circulated for signatures, setting forth the
desire of the citizens of this commonwealth
an this subject of repairing the "weak'
point along the canal,' and that our said
petitions as soon as they are filled, be for- 1
' warded to our respective representatives
in both houses of the Legislature—who
are hereby earnestly requested to urge the
same, and use every exertion to obtain a
law, authorising an appropriation of mon
ey, for the location and construction of
of the said Rail Road, as far as possible
the ensuing season.
Resolved. That copies of the procee
dings of this meeting be torwarded to our
representatives at llarrisburg —That the'
same be publio:,ed in the respective pa•
pers of thit, county, and all others friend-
IT to the desired improvement--and that
tae chairman and secretary be a commit
tee for that purpose.

A special Messenger arrived here last
night from Sir John Harvey, Lt. Gover•

Ile has been sent to demand of our Gov

have been sent to arrest the trespassers on

The first news we had at the capture

and their offer to exchange prisoners by
swapping him, or his Aid, Cushman, for a

threw an air of ridicule over the expedi

the matter to serious for levity; and we
hope our State authorities will take care
to make a serious business of it at all,
events, and not permit it to be settled in a
manlier derogatory to our interest and,
honor.
FROM FREDERICKTON.
An express arrived here this morning,
from Frederickton, bringing a letter to
Gov. Fairfield, from Sir John Harvey, in
which he informs the Governor, that he is
instructed by his Government, to exercise
exclusive jurisdiction over the disputed
Territory, and that he shall do it! He
requests Gov. Fairfield to withdraw the
force sent to drive oil the tresspassers,
and says, should the request not be com- I
plied with, he has a strong force in readi
ness to march to the ground and accom
plish the object.
Gov. Harvey expresses a strong desire
for Gov. Fairfield to withdraw his force,
and, we suppose, thus spare him the ne
cessity of causing the , •star spangled ban-1
ner," to droop before the "cross of St.l
George." The insolent position assumed !
by Gov. Harvey in his letter, if backed
up by the Government at home, will add
another to the already numerous titles of
the Queen, viz:--P. U. P. (Protector of
Poachers,) which will range very well
along side of B. F. (defender of the faith.)
Thus has the cloven foot at length
showed itself, and John Bull has slipped
his muzzle. The astounding determina•
tiun of the British Government to main-,
tain EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction over Biel
disputed territory, has at length peeped
out.
We understand that the Governor has
communicated the inforniation received to
the Legislature, and that they will take
such a course as will vindiiate the insul
ted honor of the State, and secure to
Maine her just rights, and we have no
doubt, from the feeling here, that they
will be nobly sustained, however energet
ic
may be the measures adopted, by an ,
outraged and indignant people.
BANGOR, Sunday, 12 o'clock, M.
Maj. Gen. ISACC HODGDON, of the
3d Division of the Militia of. Milne, has
been ordered by the Commander in Chief,
to detach one thousand men from the Di
vision under his command, and proceed at
the earliest possible moment to the place
occupied by the force under command of
the Land Agent, to aid him in carrying
into elect the resolve of the 24th of Jan
uary. in relation to the tresspassers on
the public lands.
Gen. Hodgdon, with a promptness that
deserves all praise, has issued his orders
for the troops to be at Bangor, the place
l of rendezvous, in readiness to march on
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock.
Each man detached has, by law, 24
hours in which to obey the summons or
supply his place with a substitute. The
Independent Companies of this city are
ordered out, entire.
Hodgdon has also given notice to
the Selectmen of the several towns in
this county, that the Officers, non-Com
missioned Officers and Privates, have been
ordered into actual service by the Com
mander in Chief, they will cause said de
tachments to be attended on their march
with suitable rations, camp.utensils and
equipage for their use, until they shall be
notified by the Commanding Officer of the
detachment to desist.
MESSAGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT.
To the Senate of the United Slates:
I lay before Con.ress several despatch
es from his Excellency the Governor of,
Maine, with enclosures, communicating,
certain proceedings of the Legislature of
that State, and a copy of the reply of the'
Secretary of State, made by my direc
tion. together with a note from H. S. Fox,
Esq. Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of Great Britian, with the
answerg the Secretary of State to the
same.
It will appear from those documents
that a numerous band of lawless and des•
perate men, chiefly from the adjoining
British Provinces, but without the author
ity or sanction of the Provincial Govern-,
ment, has trespassed upon that portion of
the territory in dispute between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain which is wa
tered by the river Aroostook, and claimed
to belong to the State of Maine; and that
they had committed extensive depreda
tions there by cutting and destroying . a
very large quantity of timber. It will
further appear that the Governor of
Maine, having been officially apprized of
the circumstances, had communicated it to
the Legislature, with a recommendation
of such provisions, in addition to those al
ready existing by law, as would enable
him to arrest the course of said depreda—
tions, disperse the trespassers, and secure
the timber which they were about carry
ing away; that in compliance with a re
solve of the Legislature, passed in pursu
ance of his recommendation, his Excel
lency had despatched the land agent of
the State, with a force deemed adequate
to that purpose to the scene of the afleg
ed depredations, who, after accomplish•
ing a part of his duty, was seized by a
band of the trespassers, at a house claim
ed to be within the jurisdiction of Maine,
whither he hail repaired for the purpose of
meeting and consulting with the land
agent of the Province of New Brunswick,
and conveyed as a prisoner to Freder
ickton, in the province, together with two
other citizens of the State, who were as
sisting him in the discharge of his duty.
••• •
It will also appear that the Governor
and Legislature of Maine, satisfied that
the trespassers had acted in defiance of
the laws of both countries, learning that
they were in possession of arms, and an
ticipating (correctly as the result has
proved) that persons of their reckless
And desperate character would set at
nought the authority of the magistrates,
( without the aid 9f a strong force, had au
thorized the sheriff, and the officer sp—
rinted in the place of the land agent, to
employ at the expense of the State, an ar
med posse, who had proceeded to the'
scene of these depredations, with a view
to the entire dispersion or arrest of tres-'
Ipassers and the protection of the public
property.
In the corresponder.ce between they,
Governor of Maine and Sir John Harvey,.
Lieutenant Governor of the Province of
New Brunswick, which has grown out of
these occurrences, and is likewise here
with communicated, the former is requos-;
ted to recall the armed party advanced!
into the disputed territory for the arrest
of trespassers, and is informed that a
strong body of British troops is to be held
in readiness to su:iport and protect the.
authority and subjects of Great Britain in
said territory. In answer to that request'
the Provincial Government is informed of
the determination of the State of Maine
to support the land agent and his party,!
in the performonce of their duty, and the
same determination, for the execution of
which provision is made by a resolution of
the State Legislature, is communicated by
the Governor to the General Govern
ment.
The lieutenant Governor of New Bruns:
wick, in calling on the Governor of Maine
for the recall of the land agent and his
party from the disputed territory, and the
British Minister in makinn. b a similar de
-
mend upon the government of the United
States, proceed upon the assumption that
an agreement exists between the two na
tions conceding to Great Britain, until the
final settlement of the boundary question,
exclusive possession of, and jurisdiction
over, the territory in dispute. The im•
portant bearing which such an agreement,
if it existed, would have upon the condi
tion and interests of the parties, and the
influence it might have upon the adjust
ment of the dispate, are too obvious to
allow the error upon which this assump
tion seems to rest to pass for a moment
without correction. The answer of Sec
retary of State to Mr. Fox's note, will
show the ground taken by the Govern
ment of the United States upon this point.
It is believed that all the correspondence
which has passed between the two govern
ments upon this subject has already been
communicated to congress, and is now on
their files. An abstract of it, however,
hastily prepared, accompanies this Linn
munication. It is possible that in thus
abridging a voluminous correspondence,
commencing in 1825 and continuing to a
very recent period, a portion might have
been accidentally overlooked; but it is be
lieved that nothing has taken place which
would materially change the aspect of
the question as therein presented. In
stead of sustaining. the assumption of the
British functionaries that correspondence
disproves the existence of any such agree
ment. It shows that the too Govern
ments have d.flered not only in regard to
the main question of title to the territory
in dispute, but with reference also to the
right of jurisdiction, and the fart of the
actual exercise of it in different port:ons
thereof. Always aiming at an amicable
adjustment of the dispute, loOth parties
have entertained and repeatedly urged
upon each other a desire, that each should
exercise its rights, whatever it consider
led them to be, in such a manner as to
avoid collision, and allay, to the greatest
practicable extent, the excitement likely
to grow out of the controversy. It was
in pursuance of such an understanding
that :thine and Massachusetts, upon the
remodstrance of Great Britain, desisted
from making sales of lands, and the Gen
eral Government from the construction of
a projected military road in a portion of
the territory of which they claimed to
have enjoyed the exclusive possession;
and that Great Britain, on her part, in de
ference to a similar remonstrance from
the United States, suspended the issue of
licenses to cut timber in the territory in
controversy, and also the survey and lo- I
cation of a rail load through a section ofi
country over which she also claimed to.
have exercised exclusive jurisdiction. I
The state of Maine had a right to arrest )
the depredations complained of; it belong
ed to her to judge of the exigency of the
°cession calling for her interference; and
it presumed that had the Lieutenant Gov
ernor of New Brunswick been correctly
advised of the nature of the proceeding
of the State of Maine, he would not have
regarded the transaction as requiring, on'
his part, any . resort to force. Each party
claiming a right to the territory and hence
to the exclusive jurisdiction over it, it is i
manifest that, to prevent the destruction'
of the timber by trespassers, acting against
the authoriiy of both, and at the same
time avoid forcible collission between the
contiguous Governments during the pen
dency of negotiations concerning the title,
resort must be had to the mutual exer- 1
cise of jurisdiction to such extreme cases,
or to an amicable anti temporary arrange-I
inent as to the limits within which it,
should be exercised by each party. The
understanding suppsecl to exist between
the United Statcs and Great Britain has
been found heretofore sufficient for that
purpose, and 1 believe will prove so here
after, if the parties on the frontier, direct
ly interested in the question, arc respec•
tively governed by a just spirit of concili
ation and forbearance. If it shall be
found, as there is now reason to appre.'
head, that there is, in the modes of con
struing that understanding by the two
Governments, a diffi:rence not to be recur
cited, I shall not hesitate to propose to her
Britannic Majesty's Government a dis
tinct arrangement for the temporary and
mutual exercise of jurisdiction, by means
of which similar difficulties may in future I
be prevented.
But between an effort on the part of
Maine to preserve the property in dispute
front destruction by intruders, and a mill
tary occupation by that Slag of the ter
tory, with a view to hold it by force, while
the settlement is a subject of negotiation
between the two Governments, there in an
essential difference, as well in respect to
the position of the State, as to the duties
of the General Government. In a letter
addressed by the Secretary ut State to the
Governor of Main, on the first of March
last, giving a detailed statement of the
steps which hid been taken by the Federo
al Government, to bring the controversy
to a termination, and designed to apprise
the Governor of that State of the vi , 2.as of
the Federal Executive In respect to the
future, it was stated, that while the ob
ligations of the Federal Gavin nment to
du all iu its power to effect the settlement
of the boundary question were fully ru
ognised, it had, in the event of being ua -
able to do so specifically, by mutual con
sent. no other means to accomplish that ob
ject amicably, than by another arbitration,
or by a commission with an empire in the
nature of an arbitration; and that in the,
event of all other measures failing, the'
President would feel it his duty to submit
another proposition to the Goveriim:rit of
Great Britain, to refer the decisien of the
question to a third power. These are still
my views upon the subject, and until this
step shall have been taken, I cannot'',
think it proper to invoke the attention of
Congress to other than amicable means
for the settlement of the controversy, ur
to cause the military power of the Feder
al Government to be brought in aid of the
State of . Maine, in any attempt to effect
that object by a resort to force.
On the other hand, if the authorities of
New Brunswick should attempt to enforce
the claim of exclusive jurisdiction set up
by them, by means of a 'irilitary occupa
tion ou thew part of the disputed territory,
should feel myself bound to consider
the contingency provided by the Consti
tution as having occurred, on the happen
ing of which a State has the right to call
lOr the aid of the Federal Government to
repel invasion.
I have expressed to the British Minis
ter near this Government a confident ex
pectation that the agents of the State of
Maine, who have been arrested under au
obvious tnisappreliension of the object of
their mission, will be promptly released;
and to the Governor of Maine that a sim
ilar course will be pursued in regard to
the agents of the Province of New Bruns ,
wick. I have also recommended that any
militia that may have been brought togeth
er by the State of Main, from an appre
hension of a collisiou with the Govern
ment or the p.aiple of the British Prov
ince, will be voluntarily and peaceably dis
banded.
I cannot allow myself to doubt that the
results anticipated from these represen-.
Cations will be seasonable realized. The
parties more immediately interested can
not but perceive that an appeal to arms,
under existin (circumstances, will not
only prove fatal to their present;interests
but would postpone. if not defeat, the at
tainment of the main object which they
have in view. The very Incidents which
have recently occurred will necessary a
wake the Governments to the importance
of promptly adjusting a dispute, by which
it is now made manifest that the peace of
the two nations is daily and emminently
endangered. This expectation is further
warranted by the general forbearance
which has hitherto characterized the con
duct ut the Government and people en
both sides of the line. lii the uniform
patriotism of 51aine, her attachment to the
Union, her respect for the wishes of the
people of her sister States, of whose in
terest in her welfare she cannot be uncon
scious, and, in the solicitude felt by the
country at large for the preservation of
!peace jwith our neighbors, we have a
strong guaranty that she will not dist*.
gard the request that has been made of
'her.
As, however, the sessiontor Congress
is about to terminate, and the agency of
the Executive may become necessary du
ring the recess, it is important that the
attention of the Legislature should be
drawn to the consideration of such meas
ures as may be calculated to obviate the
necessity of a call fur an extra session.
With that view, I have thought it my du
ty to lay the whore matter before you. 4.
to invite such action thereon as you may
think the occasion requires.

She intended to make the passage to Bulat
