Croix to the northwest angle of Nova Scotia, and thence by the highlands that divide the waters running into the sea from those that flow into the St. Lawrence. " But when it was found that the " high- lands " thus described came a little too near Quebec, the principal for- tress of Great Britain on this con- tinent, her diplomats claimed that those highlands could not be our boundary because the River of the St. John whose head-waters begin on the atlantic side of these highlands, did not run ...into the sea at all, but only into the Bay of Fundy ! And England sent Lord Ashburton to treat with us, upon this basis, and the government of the United States, for the sake of peace, yielded up a large portion of the territory of Maine and Massachusetts upon this absurdity. This could easily be done in the interest of peace, because as. The land did not belong to the government but only to the States, it cost it nothing to make the con- cession. Have we not sufficiently abased ourselves for the sake of peace to the grasping arrogance of British dominion ?
