SPECIAL ORDER ‘ THE NOTICE
The Senate then proceeded to the consider
ation ol the special order—the joint resolution
of notice lo Great Britain terminating the con
vention of 1827 relative to the Oregon territory.
Rlr. ASHLEY was about lo address the
Senate, but yielded to
Mr. BENTON, who said he did not rise to
make any speech, l»ut merely to vindicate his
tory, and the intelligence of tlie Senate, from
an error into which the senator from Michigan,
not no.v in. his seal, [Mr. Cass] had fallen yes
terday, in relying on Mr, Green how’s book on
Oregon. That book maintained that the com
missaries had never acted under the treaty of
Utrecln; had never established the limits be
tween the British and French possessions in
North America; had done nothing on tlie sub
ject. And the senator from Michigan, holding
Mr. Greenhow to be right, had adopted his
opinion, and laid so much stress upon the fact
ol the action of these commissaries, as to make
his future conduct upon the Oregon question
dependent upon it. If Mr. Greenhow was
wrong, and ihe commissaries had acted and es
tablished the parallel of 49’. and this fact was
proved, he (Mr. B.) understood the senator
from Michigan to say that he would give up the
Russian limit of 54 0 40', and never say any
thing moie about Oregon norih of 49°. Tnis
is a penalty which Mr. B. would nol have im
posed : it was giving to the line of the treaty of
Uirccht a consequence and importance which
he would not have attributed to it. But the
senator from Michigan had judged for himself,
and judged deliberately; (or his speech was
well prepared, and it was his own act to make
his future conduct dependent upon the correct
ness of Mr. Greenhow’s opinion, which he had
quoted and adopted. Mr. B. would show, by
the highest evidence, that the commisaries did
act; that they did establish the limits between
France and Great Britain iu N rrth America;
and that the 49th parallel was one of the lines
established; and, having shown this, he would
make no argument upon it, would make no ap
plication of the fact, but content himself with
vindicating history nt an essential point, and
leave it lo the senator from Michigan to give it
the influence upon his own conduct which he
should think proper.
Mr. B. then made a statem-nt introductory
to the proofs which he meant to introduce, and
showing how the treaty of Utreclu had become
applicable to this question of boundary between
the United Slates and Great Britain. It grew
out of the purchase of Louisiana, nnd was co
eval with that purchase. It was known to ev
erybody that the northwestern corner of the
United Slates could not bo claim .*d, because
there was an impossible call in the treaty of
1783. it called for a due west course from the
Lake of the Woods to the Mississippi, when
such course would never strike tlie Mississippi
—the lake being north of the head of that river.
Upon the stipposiiioo that tlie line due wr-st
from the lake would strike the river, the right
to its free navigation was granted 10 the Brkish
by the treaty of peace ; but, on finding that the
line would not strike the river, the struggle b •-
gan between the iwo countries—on the put of
the British lo deflect the liny, to turn.it down
southwest, nnd thus get to die river, and with
this arrival upon that stream come to the enjoy
ment of its navigation. The struggle on the
part of the United Slates was lo prevent this
consequence—to close the line without yield
ing the .navigation ; and this contest had con
tinued twenty years, when a treaty was signed
in London to terminate this ccuiest. It was in
the year 1803, Mr. JelFarson being President,
aud Mr. Rufus King minister in London ; for,
in these days, ministers were n*>t so rapidly
changed upon a change of administration as
has sometimes since occurred.
Tite fifth.article of die treaty then signed
deflected the line so as to reach the Mississippi
on the shortest course; and this was done in
conformity to instructions from the government
o( the United States. This treaty was signed
in Ihe spring of 1803; and it so happened that
just about the same time—mamely, twelve days
before the signature of this treaty in London,
the treaty, wuliout the knowledge of Mr. King,
for the sale of Louisiana to the United States,
was transmitted to our government. The two
treaties arrived in the United Slates together,
and Mr. Jefferson immediately saw the advan
tage which the Louisiana Ireafv gave him in
cutting off forever the British, both from tne
navigation of the Mississippi and from the
whole valley or tlmt river. The most accom
plished diplomatist in America—perhaps equal
to any in Europe—ho saw at ence that the ac
quisition of Louisiana put us in the shoes of the
French in nil their treaties applicable to that
province; that it especially made us a party lo
the treaty of Utrecht; g ive us the benefit of
die line 49,-established under that treaty, and
immediately determined to recommend to die
Senate the rr jectiou of the fifth article of the
treaty, signed at London, and to -rely afterwards
upon tlte Utrecht treaty as a matter of right to
force the British out of the valley of the Missis
sippi. The Senate concurred with hint. They
rejected the fifth article of the treaty ; and then
the double duly presented itself to be perform
ed nt London.
The rejection of (he article of the treaty was
to be justified '; the treaty of Utrecht was to lie
plead agaifiSt the British to put ah end tt> their'
darling desire to obtain the navigation of the
Mississippi. The first was a delicate duty.—
Tlie'nou-Tutification'ofa treaty concluded under
instructions, except lor good cause, is, by the
law of natiohs, an injury to the adverse power,
implying a breach of faith but little short of the
enormity of violating 1I10 same treaty after its
ratification.' To show this good-cause—to jus
tify ourselves for a seeming breach of faith—
was the immediate 1 care'of Mr. Jefl' rsun ; and
immediately after the Senate had acted upon
the two treaties—namely, on the 14*h of Feb
ruary, 1604—Mr. Madison, Secretary of State,
wrote to .Mr,-Monroe (Sir. King having* asked
leave to return when he had concluded bis
trr((y)|n bring this delicate business before the
British govern men t,*aud satisfy them at once
upon'tlie’point of tho rr6n-fntificatiort erf the
fifth article. The treaty of Utrecht fhmiAhed
the justification, and Air. Monroe was instruct
ed to urge it accordingly.
Mr. B. said this extraordinary statement
brought him to tlie production of his authorities.
He would now have recourse to ilie I ingtmge

of others, and would read a paragraph from the
O-.i
, 1
8 tf
first letter of Mr. Madison to Mr. Moproe on
this subject:
“ If the fifth article be expunged, the north
boundary of Louisiana will, as is reasonable,
remain the same in the hands of the United
States, as it wits in the hands of France, and
may be adjusted and established according to
the principles and authorities which in that
case would have been applicable. There is
reason to believe that the boundary between
Louisiana and the British territories north of it
were actually fixed by commissioners appoint-
ed under the treaty of Utrecht, and that this
boundary was to run from the Lake of the
Woods weatwardly in latitude 49 deg.in
which case the fifth article would be nugatory,
as the line from the Lake of the V, T ooda to the
nearest source of the Mississippi, would run
through territory which, on both sides of the
line, would belong to the United States. An
nexed is a paper stating the authority on which
the decision of the commissioners under the
treaty of Utrecht rests, and tlie reasoning oppo
sed to the construction, miking the 49th de
gree of latitude the northern boundary of Lou
is ana, with marginal notes in support of that
construction. This paper will pul you more
readily into possession of the subject, as it may
enter into your discussions with the British
government. But you will perceive the neces
sity of recurring to the proceedings of the com
missioners, qs the source of authentic informa
tion. These are nol within our reach here,
and it must, consequent/, be left to your own
researches and juJgment to determine the
proper use to be made of them.”
Mr. B. rent rked upon the 1 mg tage of this
extract. The fact of thi commissaries having
acted was assumed tor certain: the precise
terms of their act, and the construction oT those
term-', was not exactly knows: arid Mr. Mon
roe was directed to exam ne thi proceedings of
the commas ir es in London—lo ascertain the
particulars—a'd to act according io his judg
ment. Mr. Monroe did so, and found not the
least difficulty on either branch of his duty.
The justification for the non-ratification of the
boundary, clause seems to have been admitted
without a word; nor did the other branch*of
the subject encounter tlie least d fficulty. The
Utrecht treaty carried all through b it let Mr.
Monroe speak for himself. In iiis letter to Mr.
M ulison, of September 8, 1804, be says :
“ We then proceeded to examine the con
vention respecting the boundaries in the light
in which the ratification by the President pre
sented it.. Ou that subject, also, I omitted no
thing which the documents in my possession
enabled me to say; in aid of which, I thought
it advisable, a few days afterwards, to send to
his lordship a note explanatory of the motives
which induced the President and Semite to de
cline ratifying tlte filth article. As the uflair
had become by that circumstance in some de
grec a delicate one, and as it was in its nature
intricate, 1 thought it improper to lei the expla
nation which 1 had given rest on the mem try
ofa single individual. _By committing it to pa
per, it might be better understood by Lord
H trrowbv, and by the cabinet, to whom he
will doubtless submit it.”
In ttiis extract, (resumed Mr. B.) Mr. Mon
roe shows that he ItclJ a conversation with
Lord I larrowby, tite British Secretary of State,
and used the Utrecht treaty for botit the pur
poses firr which lie had been instructed to use
it, and wi.'li perfect success. He also shows
th u, unwilling to leave such an important mat
ter to the memory of an individual, he drew up
the substance of his ' conversation in writing,
and de ivered it to Lord Hatrowhy, that he
might lay it before the cabinet. The produc
tion of this paper, then, is the next link in the
chain of tlie evidence to bo laid before the Sen
ate ; and here it is:
“Paper respecting the boundary of the United
Stales, delivered to Lord Harrowby, Sept.
5, 1894.
“By the tenth article of the treaty of Utrecht,
it is agreed ‘that France shall restore to Great
Britain tlte hay and straits of Hudson, together
with ail lands, seas, seacoasts, rivers, and pla
ces, situate in' the said hay aud straits which
belong thereunto,' <Ssc. It is also agreed, ‘that
commissaries shall be forth w tit uppoin ed by
each power to determine, within a year, the
limits between tho said bay of llud.so i and the
places appertaining to the French; and also t >
describe amfsettle, in like manner, the bounda
ries between the other British and French cob
onies in those parts.’
•• Commissaries,ware accordingly appointed
by each power, who executed the stipulations
of the treaty in establishing the boundaries
proposed by it. They fixed the northern
boundary of Canada and Louisiana by a line
beginning in the Atlantic, at a cape or promon
tory in 58° 30' north latitude; tlicnce, soatli-
westwardiy to the Lake Mistasiu ; tlieuce, fur
ther southwes', to the latitude of 49 J north from
the equator, and along that line indefinitely.”
Mr. B. stopped tke reading, aud remarked
upon the extract as far as read. lie said this
wa3 a statement—a statement of fact—made
by Mr. Monroe to Lord liurrowby, and which,
of itself, .established the two-fold fact, that the
commissaries did net undir the treaty of
Utrecht, and established the 49th parallel as 1
the boundary Ihe between France and Great j
Britain from the Lake of the VVmrds indefi- |
nitely west. How unfortunate that the senator-j
from Michigan had not looked to authentic ;
documents, ius’ead of looking to Mr. Green- j
how’s book, and becoming its dupe and its vie |
tim. If so, lie never could have fallen into the
serious error of denying the establishment of
the line under the treaty of Utrecht; and tljo
further serious error of 'saying that Mr. Mon
roe had added nothing to Mr. Madison’s state
ment, and had left the question as doubtful as
lie found it. In point of fact, Mr. Monroe ud-
xled the particulars of which Mr. Madison had
declared his igtibtunce; added tiro beginning,
the courses, and the ending of the luie; and
stated the whole with tlte precision of a man
who hud taken his information from the pro-
c. edings of the cbihmissaries. And to whom
did he deliver this paper? To a British fch c-
rotary of Slate, to belaid before the king in
cabinet council, mid to be used against the pow
er who was a party to the treaty! And
did Lord Harrowby say 1 Deny the fact, 1 ke
the senator who is so unfortunate as to follow
Mr; Greenhow, or even resist the argument re
sulting from the fact? Not at aU. He made
no objection to either the fact or ilia inference ;
and Mr. Monroe tints proceeded to apply his
facts, and to urge the exclusion of the British
from the navigation of the Mississippi aud its
entire: valley, as a matter of right, under the
Utrecht treaty, and by the provisions of which
they could held no territory south of 49°.—
Hear him :
** By Mitchell’s map, by which the treaty of
17S3 was formed, it was evident that the north
western point of the Lake of the Woods \tas
at least as high north as the latitude of 19j.—
By tho observations of Mr. Thompson, astron
omer to tho Northwestern Company, it appears
to be in latitude 49 J 37'. By joining then the
western boundary of Canada to its northern in
the Lake of the Woods, and closing both there,
it follows that it was the obvious intention of
the ministers who negotiated the treat}*, and of
their respective governments, that the United
States should possess all the territory lyi lg l;e-
tweerf the lakes and tl)e Mississippi, south of
the parallel of tite 49th degree of north lati
tude. This is confirmed by the courses which
are afterwards pursued by the treaty, since they
aro precisely those which h id been established
between Great Britain and France in former
treaties. By running due west from the no: t li-
westem'point of the Lake of tho Woods to the
Mississippi, it mitst have been intended, accor
ding to the fights before them, to take tho par
allel of tite 49lh degree of latitude as established
under the treaty of Utrecht; and pursuing
thence the course of the Mississippi to tlie 3lst
degree of latitude, the whole extent of the wes
tern boundary of the United Slates, llio boun
dary which had been established by the treaty
of 1783 was actually adopted. This conclu
sion is further supported by the liberal spirit
which terminated the war of oil! revolution : it
having been manifest!}’ the intention of the
parties to heal, as far as could be done, the
wounds which it had inflicted. Nor is it es
sentially weakened by the circumstance that
tl e Mississippi is called for by the western
course f ont the Lake of the Woods, or that its
navigation is stipulated in favor of both pow
ers. Westward of the Mississippi, to the south
of the f irty-ninth degree of north latitude.—
Great Britain held there no territory; that liv
er was her western boundary. Itt running
west, and ceding the territory to the river, it
was impossible not to call for it ; an !, on liie
supposition that it took its source within tho
limits of the Hudson Bay Company, it was nat
ural that it should stipulate the free navigation
of the river; but, in so doing, it is presumed
that her government respected more, a delicate
sense of what it might be supposed to owe to
the interest of that company, than any strong
motive of policy, founded on the interests of
Canada, or its other possessions in that quarter.
As Great Britain ceded at the same time the
Fior.dasto Spain, the navigation of the Missis
sippi by her subjects, if it gtook pluce, being
under a foreign jurisdiction, could not fa 1 to
draw from her own territories the resources
which properly belonged to them, and there
fore could not be viewed in the fight of n na
tional advantage. After the treaty of 17S3,
anti at the time the convention in contempla
tion was entered into, the stale of things w :s an
is above stated. The territory which Grent
Britain held west of the Lake of the Woods, -
was bounded south by the forty-ninth degree of
north latitude; that which lay between the
Lake of the Woods and the Mississippi, south -.
ward of that parallel, belonged to the United
States; and that which lay to the west of the
Mississippi, to Spain, It ‘being, however, un
derstood, by more recent discoveries, or obser
vations, that the solace of the Mississippi did
not extend so high north a3 had been supposed;
and Great Britain having shown a desire to
have the boundary of tlte United States modi- *
fied ih such manner as to strike that river, an
article to that effect was inserted in the late
convention:' but,' in so doing, it was not tho
intention of the American minister, or of tlie
British minister, to do more than simply to de
fine tlie American boundary. It was not con
templated by either of them that America
should convey lo Great Britain any right to the
territory lying westward of that line, since not
a foot of it belonged lo her; it was intended to
leave it to Great Britain to settle the point as
to such territory, or such portion of it as sho
might want, with Spain, or rather with France,
to whom it then belonged. At this period,
however, certa n measures respecting the Mis
sissippi, and movements in that quarter, tcok
place, which seemed to menace the great inter
ests of Am .iicai that were dependent on that
river. These excited our sensibility, acute
and universal; ofw*aich, in an equal degree,'
her history furbishes few examples. They led
to a‘discus8ion which terminated in a treaty
with Fiance,‘by which that power ceded to tho
United States the whole of Louisiana, as slro
had received'it of Spain. This treaty took
place on the 30th of April, 1803, twelve clays
only before the convention between Great Bri
tain and the United States was signed, and
some days before the adoption of such a treaty
was known to the plenipotent. lies who nego
tiated and signed tlie convention.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible
that any right which the United Slates derived
under that treaty could bo conveyed by this
convention to jGreat Britain, or that the min
isters who formed tho convention Could have
contemplated such an effect by it.' Thus life
stipulation which is contained in the fifth article
of the convention lias become^ by the cession
made by tho treaty, perlcctly nugatory; for as
Great Britain holds no territory southward of
the forty-ninth degree of north latitude, a:ul
the United States the' whole of it, tlie lir.e pro
posed by that article'would run through a coun
try which now belongs exclusively to the lat
ter.”
Tiiis reasoning^said Mr. B.) was conclusive;
auJ in tite course of the negotiations which ml-
lowed, both parties actually proposed articles,
adopting the Utrecht line from tlie Lake of tho
Woods, with a proviso against its application to
the country west ofthe Rocky mountains. In
adopting me line both articles were identical :
the provisos were the?same; the only difference
was in-the modification ol the extent of the lme.
