Portland Gazette, And Maine Advertiser

Peter Quirk wishes to know whether or not it is a fact, that a certain great man, residing not a thousand miles from the latitude of Portland, with three names, which sound pretty high when spoken in quick succession; and HONORABLE, not as a life, but an advance guard attached thereto; has been a Senator and may be again if democracy continues to rage around him, did send a Justice writ of his own fabrication, and bearing his own signature, from the county of Kennebeck to North Yarmouth, in the county of Cumberland, for service,

And after it had been returned to the Squire with an intimation that he, not being a Justice in Cumberland county, had no jurisdiction to act as such therein, he did not send it again and insist upon a service. That's all. If he did, that he may be fit for a democratick Senator.
