"The long pending question in relation
10 our northeastern boundary is still oper
and unadiusted, though we have reasons
perhaps, for believing that il has made
some advances within The past year. W.
have had a renewed expression Of opinion
on The part Of the general government thai
the territory in dispute is a part Of ht
state Of Maine an Indication of the deter
minaiion 20 discharge in good faith, the
duty of that government TO this State oil
maintaining the integrity OF It's territory
and a national sanction oi the military
demonstrations made by this State in Feb
ruary and March last. II IS also well I'M
derstood now by all parties, that however
patient and forbearing Maine will be
while honest and earnest attempts are being
made to run the line and definitely settle
the question, she will not submit longer to
be deprived Of her territory BY such a sys-
TEN ofvexa,ous and unjus,ifable procrasli-
nation as has heretofore been practiced
and thar the question must be settled speed

would be jed.-This is gaining some

the precise position they occupy, the next
step taken hy them will be taken UNDER

served to awaken the attention Of the coun-

question, and 10 induce such an examination

conviction that the preface Of claim set up
by Great Britain 70 the disputed territory
is palpabiy unfonnded and unjust, and can

Of the treaty Of I7sS.
Soon after the termination OF your Scs-

by the British Government 10 the Govern

Limitations and conditions, as, il is under

LEVIED 10 be as early hs Jolly last, a counter

Message of the President, no reply has yet
been received.
Pending this negotiation, II seems the
British Gov. has deemed IT expedieni
