INDIVIDUAL STATES. I. MAINE. THE first permanent settlement in Maine was formed about the year 1630; and for several years the government of the colony was administered in the name of Sir Ferdinando Gorges as proprietor of the country. In 1652, the inhabitants of Maine were placed under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts. The country was, however, afterwards claimed by the heirs of Gorges, but was, in 1677, purchased by the colony of Massachusetts. From that time the territory formed a part of the colony and afterwards of the state of Masssachusetts, and was styled, the District of Maine, till the year 1820, when it was erected into an independent state. GOVERNORS. Wm King, entered upon office 1820 | E. Lincoln, entered upon office 1826 Albion K. Paris, 1821 Jonathan G. Hunton, do. do. OUTLINES OF THE CONSTITUTION. .1830 The Constitution of this state was formed in 1819, and went into opera tion in 1820. The legislative power is vested in a Senate and a House of Representatives, both elected annually by the people, on the second Monday in September. These two bodies are together styled The Legislature of Maine. The number of representatives cannot be less than 100, nor more than 200. A town having 1,500 inhabitants is entitled to send 1 representative; having 3,750, 2; 6,775, 3; 10,500, 4; 15,000, 5; 20,250, 6; 26,250, 7; but no town can ever be entitled to more than 7 representatives.-The number of senators cannot be less than 20, nor more than 31. The Legislature meets (at Portland,—after the present year, 1831, at Augusta) annually, on the first of Wednesday in January. The executive power is vested in a Governor, who is elected annually by the people, on the second Monday in September, and his term of office commences on the first Wednesday in January. A Council of seven members is elected annually on the first Wednesday in January, by joint ballot of the senators and representatives, to advise the governor in the executive part of government. The right of suffrage is granted to every male citizen aged 21 years or upwards (excepting paupers, persons under guardianship, and Indians not taxed), having had his residence established in the state for the term of three months next preceding an election. The judicial power is vested in a Supreme Judicial Court, and such other courts as the legislature may, from time to time, establish. All the judges are appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the council; and they hold their offices during good behavior, but not beyond the age of 70 years.
