In 1818, on the election of Samuel Fessenden as major- general of the twelfth division of Massachusetts militia, Mr. Daveis accepted a position on his staff, as division inspector, which he retained until 1827, when, on the accession of his personal friend, Enoch Lincoln, to the office of Governor, he received from the latter an appoint- ment as his senior aide. It was at this time that he first took an active part in connection with the controversy, with which for many years he was so intimate...ly associated ; and of the history, facts, arguments, and condition of which he has been pro- nounced on good authority to have known more than any other man in the state or nation. This was the dispute relating to the north-eastern boundary of Maine, which had been for many years pending between the United States and Great Britain, but was now suddenly brought to a crisis \)y the action of the Provincial authorities of New Brunswick, in serving legal process on American settlers in the disputed country ; and especially in arresting on his own land, granted to him by the States of Maine and Massachusetts, one John Baker, a citizen of the former State, whom they carried to Fredericton for trial.
