Page 413 - It being clear, therefore, that the United States may legitimately insist upon the merits of the boundary question being determined, it is equally clear that there is but one feasible mode of determining them — viz., peaceful arbitration. The impracticability of any conventional adjustment has been often and thoroughly demonstrated.
Page 157 - Observe good faith and justice toward all nations ; cultivate peace and harmony with all; religion and morality enjoin this conduct, and can it be that good policy does not really enjoin it ? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, a 'great nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence.
