suppose that Fnglishmen will deprecate the treaty
owing TO any alarm at tie extension OF the Amer
lean dominious, or from any mistrust that the ad-
vantaees gained will be abused TO the injury OF
British trade bu they cannot approve the example
afforded of one state purchasing the control OF such
waterway for its personal advantage ana not
as a trustee fer the benefit Of the world.
