BOUNDARY LINE.


A meeting was held on the 9Th ult, at Corn
wall, L. G. TO consider what measures were
necessary 10 be adopted to prevent The raufi-
cation, by bis Britannia Majesiy's government
of the agreement of the American aad British
Commissioners, relative TO the Boundary Line
al the Long Sault and BarDhart's Island. AT
this meeting, several resolutions were passed,
pointing out some of the Injurious conse-
quences which must result TO Upper Canada,
iflhe agreement should be ratified. The first
resolution says


Should the agreement Of the Commissions
ers under the treaty Of Ghent, relative to The
Boundary Line between this Province and
The United States be carried into effect as re-
Gently published, the inhabitants Of this Prov
ince will have no water communications by
which bey can transport their produce 10 the
market Of Lower Canada, inasmuch as the
extent Of one hundred yards agreed upon by
the Commissioners as the American Boundary
on the north side OF Barnhart's Island will
come, within a few yards Of the Canadian
shore, and will cover the whole of the navI-
gable channel of the 81. Lawrence"


In the second resolution il is said, that


+" If the lower Long Sault and Barnbart's
Island be given to The United States, II wlI', in
effect, be sufrendering all right 10 the free
navigation cf the St. Lawrence, as it viii De
in The power OF Tue United States, al apy time
lis policy may seem to require it, 70 prevent
the inhabitants Of Upper Canada from using
the channel on the south side Of Long Suit
and BaHhert's Islands, which, in the present
state Of the country, is the ony nasigable
channel FOR boats carrying cargo"


But what says the Treaty Of Ghent on this
subject ? Simply this that the decision
OF the Commissioners +" shall be final and con-
elusive
