The Washington Globe affects an alarm
on account of an alleged surrender by Mr..
Webster and the Maine and Massachusetts
Commissioners OF valuable Military line.
1t tells US in substance, we can never
reach Quebec by an army now, for we
have given up the way there!


We have before us Il map of Maine
with the agreed upon Boundary Line ira
ced out upon it. The very sight Of this
map is an occular demonstration of the
falsity of the Globes assertion. The
British in order to reach Quebec have got
to pass North beyond the 47th degree of
latitude in right line, and then North
West TO the Tamicouta Lake, nearly in
the 4Sth deg'ee Of latitude, before they
Can pass to the South. west towards Que
bee. The road they have by the NADIA.
waska is Of no possible use to them a.
gainst us, and only Of use to them to con-
meet their upper and lower provinces. 1t
is road we should never think of reach
ing Quebec by, and which it would be
impossible for us in time of war to OBJ
struct without an outlay of men and means

The military route for us to attack
Quebec is through Maine via the Kenne-
bec-the route taken in the Revolutionary
war by Arnold and others. No route
north of this, would all American Gener-
al dream of taking. There are other
routes Westward, but that is the extreme
Eastern or Northern route. The militia
ry possession of that territory is there
fore Of no use to us. If we could defend
it in time OF war, we could take It, As
for fortifying in a wilderness in the 47.h
and 4Slh degree of North Latitude, quite
uninhabited, and probably quite uninhab-
table from the sterilily of the soil, it is
all al absurdity.


The Globe, however, wishes to kill the
treaty, to stab the negotiators. No matter
that Maine is content, and that her chosen
men have done the deed. A war is but
trife compared with the restoration of
Van Buren,, and his Treasury pap for the
Globe. Three or four hundred thousand
men killed, national debt of fs500,000,
is but a trifle when piited against Earty.
1t is but a waste OF words, therefore, on
this subject, to reason with the Globe.
