correspondent in the Boston Morning Post
says, have gained by the treaty degrees, in
stead of three degrees of seacoast the Pacific, as
stated in the article of the Union. If the wri-


ter will read the article in the Union carefully, and in
conncxon with all its parts he will discover that it
was intended to show how much we had gained
"from the mouth of the Columbia to the parallel Of
49o"-more than Great Briiain had offered us
before. The article in the Union states, well
known, 'that Great Britain has claimed steadfast-
ly and from the first, as her boundary line, the
channel of the Columbia river from its mouth up to
the parallel Of ago." that "he country between the
Columbia river and that parallel which the present
treaty is said to stpulatc has not yet been carefully
surveyed or measured but that doubt is enter
tanned that at least two large States may be formed
out of it," and that "however this may be, the trca-
ty, as rumor describes it, gives about three de-
grees of seacoast on the Pacific, with the eventual
exclusive navigation of the chief river on the west
ern slope of our continent" We certainly intended
to say "three degrees of seacoast on the Pacific
more than had been embraced in any previous
proposition from Great Britain.
