that proceedings in such cases lack

ring the last year than they were
before that time, in their efforts,
under favor Of that privilege, to
embroiI our country in foreign
wars. The desire and determine,
ton of the maritime States to defeat
that design are believed to be as
sincere ns, and cannot be more
earnest than ours. Nevertheless
unforeseen political difficulties have
arisen, especially in BRAZILIAN and
British ports and on the northern

Protection Qfths Northern Border.
In view of the insecurity of life
in the region adjacent to the CAna1
dian border, by recent assaults and
dcprcdations committed by inilnical
and desperate persona who arc
harborcd there, it has been thought
proper to give notice that, after
the expiration OF ak months, the
period conditionaily rtipulatod ir
the existing arrangements with
Great Britain, the United States
must hold themselves at liberty tc
increase thoir naval armament
upon the lakes, If they shall fint
that proceeding necessary.

continuing or modifying the right
OF transit from Canada through thu
United States, as we'll as the regu
latios of imports, which were
temporarily established by th'
reciprocity treaty of the 5th o
June, 1854. I desire. however,
TO be understood while making thir
statement that the colonial au
thor:tics are not deemed to be in
tent'onrllv unjust or unfriendly
toward the United States, but OF
the contrary there Is evHry reason
to expect that with the approval o
