Having thus freely communicated the
results OF my own reflection, on the most
advisable mode Of adjusting the boundary
question, shall, nevertheless, cheerfully
acquiesce in any other mode which the
wisdom of Congress may devise.
And, in conclusion, repeat my con-
viction, that every consideration of the
public interest, manifests the necessity of
a provision by Congress for the settlement
of this boundary question. before the pre-
sent session is brought to close. The
settlement of all other questions, connect
ed with the same subject, within the
same period, is greatly to be desired; but
the adjustment of this appears, to me, to
be in the highest degree important. In
the train of such an adjustment, we may
well hope that there will follow return
OF harmony and good will, an increased
attachment 10 the Union, and the general
satisfaction CT the country.
