The Evacuation of Military Posts In WasR,ngtons
time.
In recent speech, Mr. Calhoun is reported to have
said "When Washington was President, the British
held possession OF Detroit and of Fort Stanwx. And
why did not Washington march army to expe them }
Because the President was not the war-aking power"
The British, we believe did not hold possession OF Fort,
Stanwx That fort, on the site of which Rome now
stands, invested by ST. Leger, in 777 but was so
resolutey defended by Gen Gansevoort and his brave
sege in August Of that year In 1884 the Americans ap
pear to have been in quiet possession of the fort as
that year treaty was made at Fort Stanwix, between
Oliver Wolco Arthur Lee, and the Six Nations Of In
dams.
There were frontier posts, however, which were held
by the British after the ratification OF the treaty of peace
and If they were held in defiance OF the stpulaons OF
the treaty, and without excuse, the OF
the post thus held would not weaken the argument Of the
senator.
The preliminary articles of peace were signed at Paris
in November, 1884, and the defnve treaty the same
place the Sd of September 1888 The 9TH article
both documents, provided for the withdrawal OF the Brit
sh armies from the posts in the United States with all
convenient speed In the 4th article stipulated that
no legal obstacle should be nerposed to the collection of
bona de debts on either side and in the 5h, that Con-
gress would recommend to the States restitution Of
fscated estates The British complained that the 4h
and 9Th articles not carried into effect in good faith
by the United States, and the people of the United States
were dissatisfied with the retention of the military posts
by the British government
1t could not be inferred, however from the following
paragraph in General Washngton's annual message Of
1866 that ne supposed the retention of the posts fur
nished just ground for warlke movement either by the
President or Congress The paragraph is as follows:
"Ihe period during the late session at which the ap.
preparation was passed for carrying into effect the treaty
OF amlty, commerce, and navigation, between the Uni
ted States and his Britannia Majesty, necessarily pro-
casnated the reception of the posts stipulated be de-
livered beyond the date assigned for that event As
soon however, as the governor general of canada could
be addressed with propety the subject arrangements
were cordially and promptly concluded for their evacu.
aon and the United States took possession of the prn
Michilimacinac, and Fort Miami whence such repairs
and additions have been ordered to be made as appeared
Indispensable"
