Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Decision of the King of the Netherlands Considered in Reference to the Rights of the United States, and of the State of Maine The author of the following numbers was led to prepare them and to present them in their present form by the repeated suggestion of several of his fellow citizens, who take a deep interest in the subject to which they relate. If the question were one of trifling importance and temporary character, - if the stage, to which the proceedings have arrived, and the course proposed to be pursued in regard to them did not involve doctrines extending to the fundamental principles of our political federative system of government, he certainly would not have intruded himself at this moment upon the notice of the public. But Maine protests against being condemned unheard. She solicits, she demands as an act of justice of her sister States, of the United States, of the high-minded Representatives of the States and of the People of the United Stales, the Senators and Members of Congress, a patient and thorough investigation before pronouncing a decision. She asks of them not to search for plausible pretexts in order to get rid of an uncomfortable subject and relieve themselves from a supposed present inconvenience; but to deal out to her that measure of even-handed justice, which shall tend to give strength and durability to the union by strengthening the confidence of the individual States. He has subjoined in an Appendix the letter of Mr. Preble to Mr. McLane of 25th January, 1831, considering it as presenting a succinct abstract of the whole merits of the original controversy. He has added extracts from the official report of Mr. Deane, and from a letter of Mr. Kavanagh as explanatory of the origin of the Madawasca settlement and the progress of provincial British encroachment and usurpation. Finally, he has appended extracts from the Arguments of the Agent on the part of Great Britain under the Treaty of 1794, with a letter from the British Minister, then resident at Washington, in order that in connection with the debate in Parliament on the preliminary articles of 1782, the perfect understanding of all parties, in regard to the highlands of the treaty may be seen without further research.
