erto unsettled, in various places between
Maine and the Lake of the Woods, arc
rumored as likely to take place.
We doubt not the Administration knows
what it is about, and in due time we shall
see. Let it be remembered, that General
Jackson offered to give MAINE ONE MIL
LION Of acres Of public iand in 1899. as
"a loan to induce her to come to an agree
ment; the land to be sold by the United
States, and the whole proceeds to be paid
to Maine, without deduction. And other
indemnity, of course, to be provided for
Massachusetts, which State owned one half
the land. An agreement to this effect, in
substance, was signed, on the part of the
United States, by Edward Livingston,
Secretary Of State, Louis McI.ane, Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, and Levi Woodbu
ry, Secretary of the Navy, and on the
part of Maine by w. p. Preble, Reuel Will
liams, and Nicholas Emery.
The New York Herald, which seems
to have had peep behind the curtain,
gives the following asIhe result of the ne
collation.:
The United States commences the line
at the head lake of the 81. Croix river,
runs it directly north to Mars Hill, thence
due north, till it strikes the St. Johns river
at point few miles above the Great
Falls. We then run the line along the
course Of the 81. Johns River, until it
meets the St. Francis River. The line
then runs up The ST. Francis until it reach
es the southern outlet of the upper lake on
the st. Francis. This is the most north
erly point on the line.
TIE line then runs south west and by
south for 100 miles in sliaght line, at
dis lance OF p feet from the base of the
mountains skilting the ST. Lawrence river,
until it strikes the N. ". branch of the
river St. Johns. 1t then runs due south
for about 80 miles, un,il ii strikes the S.
w. branch Of the 81 Johns river; after this
itlollows the course of that branch ur to
its source in the mountains close to ihe
source Of Ike p,nobscot and Mclgarmette
rivers, and terminates at the precise point
where the south westerly termination Of
the three lines previously drawn by the
United States, Great Britain, and The king
on he Netherlands, were made 10 terml-
nate.
The line, in shcrt, varies scarcely amiIc
either way from that defined by the King
Of the Netherlands. HE tact which we
have given on the northeastern border OF
Maine is valuable 10 Great Britain, as
Strengthening her military position, but is
no! OF much importance 10 us.
The General Government aIt TO reim-
bursc Maine for hel cXpcnses III defending
The disputed territory, and Massaclus-
etts is to receive :, 100000 from the United
States, for her portion of the land which
is 10 be gwen up.
We get Rouse's Point on Lake Cham
plain, and the navigation OF ST. johns
river above the Falls; but, as We have no
access 10 ihem blow the Falls. the free
navigation Of that river under these cir
cunstaHces, is worth but little
The locoiocos are opposed to this trea-
ty, whether from party Ur patriotic mo-
lives We shall see in few days.
