of acres of lander about one third of th whole

The boundaries : are too cler for cavil.
The boundary, clajmed by the United
was fixed by that sacred treaty which
nated the long aony of Revolutionary war, and
from 1783 to 1814. the United States exercised
exclusive and ; acknowledged jurisdiction over
the territory, the perfect and settled right to
which Great Britain voluntarily confessed tn ev

The claim!however, has not the shadow of a re
foundation in justice. Nobody with . half an
eye, can examine the map, the treaty ' and the
recognition of ihe boundaries by the Kngllsh for
SO years, from '83 to 1814) "without seerag as
clearly as ibe sun at noon day, that Grealp Brit
ain has no moie right to the territory thdsnplaecd
in dispute,' than she has to ibe heart ef Penn
sylvania or Kentucky. The two governments,
however, have thought proper to tnter into
friendly negotiations to determine the justice of
the respective claims. In 1817, it was referred
by both powers to the arbitration of the King of
the Netherlands. Maine would not assent to his
decision, which made St. Johns' river thel boun
dary line, and the Senate refused to ratify the
treaty. Commissioners of survey were appoint-
ed, but terminated in making eacii. party more

ft is said the Executive of New Brunswick,
nnder the instructions of the home government,
baa uniformly , since the question has beendnder
negotiation, insisted on the exercise of jurisdic
tion over the Territory watered by the Aroostook,
as well as that north of the St. John's, on the
ground of having had tactual p8session juris
diction from the beffinninff . This claim has been
denied by the American negotiators,and Mir Clay engage, may do so at

gainst any exercise of jurisdiction by the British
over any pari of the disputed Territory, be fore the
final settlement of the question. 1 here seems
also o have been some sort of an understanding
admitted by our Secretaries of Stale, tha both
nartiesshmild abstain from all acts of exclusive
jurisdiction. Mr Forsyth, in a letter io Mr jSle-
venson in July, 1837, speaks of 'the understand
ing which exists between the parlies, tha until
thesetilement of the question of right,tbere shall
be no Extension of jurisdiction on either side
within the disputed limits.'
We cannot believe that England has directed
her New Ornnswick governor to ocenpy this ter
ritory, and exercise exclusive jurisdiction, over it,
as he stale. But, it thai Governor has bloater
ed up on his own responsibhiy, we shall xpect
to I see him rebukert, and we anaii esteem ine
reatment of th Maine agent receivers at ihis
hands as a matter of considerable corseqoence.
