Its position ilepcnds upon tho pro. t ious ascertainment of t?ro lines, ond the ^ mint of coincidence between thcui would, , hen established, bo the point whero the 4orth-west Angle would he, and that where ho Treaty directs the boundary to begin. Jut since neither of those two lines hove rot been ascertained, and the point of d?*psrure of only one of them agreed upon, it is ivident that tho North west Angle of Novia * Scotia, which is to be an eflcct or result pro'ceding from cuuses, the inherent power >f which we are yet ignorant of, is at'this noment n nonentity, and must remain so mill tho precise direction of the two lines }i fore spoken of is mutually agreed upon, and established. This a sufficient reason why i.ll attenfpts to bring the dispute to a Itnppy termination hitherto have failed, tho words of the Tieaty directing us to begin ut tho end, instead of the beginning und to pursue the enquiries from the unknown to th?- known. Gentlemen, I do not wish to concetd from you who are so much interested in tho init- H ter, that tho investigations in which I have been of lute engaged, hare produced results which ought to influenco Governments thot desiie no territorial acquisitions ut tho exponso of justice and the reference duo to Treaties, as I ?m persuaded is the ca*o ^ with tho two Governments now ncgociating on this important suhjoct. The defectivo information it is hoped and )>uhcved can ho supplied. I say this mucJi bccnuso the rumor is being busy about tno declared intention of the State of Maine to proceed in taking possession of the whole territory in dispute, without awaiting the peaceful proceedings now in progress betwixt the Federal Government und that of Her Majesty. 1 do not believe in those rumors- The Stole of Maine sets too high a value upon the pea 'o now happily subsisting between two countries, and will, I have no doubt, await sw die consti utionnl action of their National Government." Tito nmou.it of nil tins is, unless both Jovoi nmcnts agree to compromise, by spin tngtiie diUerenco,"they arc as far fiom a ns ever. And if so, they will us usual quarrel for n million till they spend fifty in Dions, nnd then (aid as they begun.
