Excerpt from The Boundary Question Revised: And R. Franklin's Red Line Shown to Be the Right One
"I mean these remarks for the People of America. I may be told it is too late. If so, I shall reply, that it is never too late to tell the truth to a reasonable audience; and I hope the result in this case will bear out that opinion." Burke's Parliamentary Speeches.
Introduction.
The Boundary question had become matter of history. Diplomacy had done its work, in arguing and explaining it. The treaty of 1842 compromised what the treaties of 1783, 1794, 1815, and the award of the King of the Netherlands in 1831, had left unsettled. But scarcely had the two contracting nations ratified the final deed when the voice of discontent was raised, and doubts as to the construction of some portions, and dissatisfaction at the tenor of others, were heard in both hemispheres. Thus another important document attests, the almost unavoidable imperfections of those very acts, which require the clearest exercise of human wisdom.
The particular branch of the treaty of Washington, to which the following pages have reference, is the North-Eastern Boundary between the United States and the British North American possessions.
Almost every one has heard of the discovery of certain maps relating to that subject, only made known to the public since the ratification of the treaty by the President and Senate of the United States, and the Queen of Great Britain. The existence of these maps has been so made known by the publication in the Globe newspaper, at Washington, in December, 1842, of the speeches of Mr. Rives, chairman of the Committee of Foreign flairs, on the 17th of August preceding, -and of other senators, during the debate on the question of the ratification of the treaty.
The map of chief interest is one discovered, by Mr. Jared Sparks, in the archives of the Bureau des Affaires Etrangeres in Paris, in the year 1841; and by him transmitted to Mr. Webster, Secretary of State at Washington, previous to the negociation held there with Lord Ashburton, in the early part of 1842.
The following extract from Mr. Sparks' communication to Mr. Webster explains the transaction: -
"While pursuing my researches among the voluminous papers relating to the American Revolution in the Archives des Affaires Etrangeres in Paris, I found in one of the bound volumes an original letter from Dr. Franklin to Count do Vergennes, of which the following is an exact transcript: - "Passy, December 6, 1782.
"Sir: I have the honor of returning herewith the map your Excellency sent me yesterday. I have marked with a strong red line, according to your desire, the limits of the United States, as settled in the preliminaries between the British and American plenipotentiaries.
"With great respect, I am, &c., "B. Franklin."
"This letter was written six days after the preliminaries were signed; and if we could procure the identical map mentioned by Franklin, it would seem to afford conclusive evidence as to the meaning affixed by the commissioners to the language of the treaty on the subject of the boundaries. You may well suppose that I lost no time in making inquiry for the map, not doubting that it would confirm all my previous opinions respecting the validity of our claim.
