The completion of the Northern Pacific Jlailroad will make it more important than ever that the United States should insist upon obtaining all their rights in the Northwest, and it is especially necessary that we should be aVile to command the ship channels of Pugct Sound. It was a great mistake that we al lowed ourselves to be bullied out of Vancou ver's Island, and it will be a greater one if we yield the island of San Juan and its chan nel to the British. As the question of the occupation of the island is likely to be brought prominently before the public of both countries ere long, General Alvord's paper on "The Northwesernt Boundary Dis pute" will be of particular interest: There are few people in the United Slate who have known that, throughout the whole cf the civil war, and sinoe tr!), the British and American flags have both been flying on San Juan Island. This joint military occu pation has been justly very odious to our Government, to the authorities of Washing ton Territory, and to the Americans on the disputed islands, and ought t o be terminated at the earliest possible moment. There are one hundred and seventy square miles of area in the Archipelago de llaro, sixty of which are arable land and eighty grazing land. The United States should as speedily as possible be placed in full possession, the civil authorities bo enabled to exercise therein their functions, and the land-laws be carried into effect. During the liebel lion the people of that frontier wore urged to be quiet, and wait until tha war was over, and the Government hfconld be at leisure to assert our rights. The language of tho treaty of l.lth June, IMC, required that the boundary lino should run "along tho 49th parallel of north latitude to the middle of the channel which separates the continent from Vancouver's Island, aud thence southerly, through tho middle of said channel, and of Fuca's Straits, to the Paciria Ocean." The English Government claims the Rosa rio straits, the channel nearest the continent, as the boundary line; we claim the Canal de llaro as the proper boundary. That oar claims to the Archipelago de llaro are of the most unmistakable character abundantly appears to one who will carefully read the Senate document entitled "The Northwestern Boundary Question," which con tains a full statement of the whole matter. It begins with a letter of Mr. Seward, which says: "Every officer of this Government, who had any part in the negotiation, adop tion, or ratification of tho treaty, assented to it with the full understanding that the deflec tion of the boundary from the 40th parallel was consented to for the sole purpose of giv ing the whole of Vancouver's Island to Great Britain, and that, to effect this purpose, the line was to be carried through the Canal de Haro to the Straits of Fuca, on its way to the Pacific Ocean." This document was prepared in the State Department, by Archibald Campbell, Esq., United States Boundary Commissioner, whose correspondence with Captain J. C. Prevost, cf the British navy, the English commis sioner, is given at length. Mr. Cass, in his despatch of 20th October, isr.0, to Mr. Dallas, vf ry justly says that Mr. Campbell's "whole argument is marked both by ability and re search." The entire document is drawn up in the most thorough and conscientious man ner. It has, besides an exoelleat map of the region in dispute, a plate showing four cross sections of the whole channel: 1st, along the 4!)th parallel; 2d, along the parallel of 48 deg. 45 ruin.; ild, along that of 48 deg. ;. min.; 4 th, along that of 48 deg. 25 min. It has, also, a oomplete physical and geographical description of the Archipelago do llaro, and each of the islands, and quotations from the reports of General Persifer F. Smith and General J. G. Totten, the late Chief of Engineers, showing the military value of thebe iblands. The Boundary Survey had for astronomer, in running tho 4Uth parallel, John G. Parke, then Lieutenant of Engi neer", since distinguished as Major-General i Volunteers in every part of the field during the late war. The astronomer of the Britith Boundary Commission was Col. John S. Hawkins, of the lioyal Engineers. The U. S. Coast Survey assisted materially in completing the survey and the excellent maps of the Archipelago de llaro. We will endeavor to condense, into a few . distinct heads, the principal points brought cut in the argument on our side. 1st. The Canal de Haro is tho shortest, . deepest, and widest channel to connect the Gulf of Georgia with the Straits of Fuca. A (dance at the cross-sections given in the plate referred to will show that the main body of water goes through that channel to the ocean. It seems to be fair to assert that the treaty means that the line of deepest water (the Jilttm uqxur) shall be the boundary-line. The least depth in the Canal de Haro is greater than the maximum depth in the Ko3ario Straits (see p. l'.'O of the Senate Document). The average cross-section throughout of the .former will show that-its surface is about three times that of the Kosario Straits. 2d. It appears that Lord Aberdeen, on the 18th of May, 1845, wrote to the British Minis ter in Washington that his Government wa3 ready to enter into a negotiation on the basis of "a boundary along the 4'Jth parallel to the stacoast, thtnee through the Straits of Fuca to the ooean, thus giving to Great Britain the whole of Vancouver Island and its harbors." To interpret properly this language of Lord Aberdeen, the letter of Mr. Edward Evetett to Mr. Campbell, of 2!Uh May, 1858, should be read, which shows that, from ' tho corres pondence of Joshua Bates, there is evidence that Lord Aberdeen's attentiou had been called (by the pamphlet of William Sturgis) to the distinct proposition of yielding all the other ihlands, except Vancouver's Island, to the United States. Mr. Kturgis, in his leo tnre delivered on 2'21 January, 1815, before the Mercantile Library Association in Bos ton, proposed "a continuation of the parallel cf i'J deg. across tie Rocky Monntaias to tidewater, Bay to the middle of the Gulf of Georgia; tbeuoe by the northernmost navi gable passage (not north of 49 deg.) to the Straits of Fuca, and down the middle of these Straits to the Pacino Ocean; the navi gation of the Golf of Georgia and the Straits of Juan de Faca to be forever free to both arties, all the islands and other territory ying south and east of this line to belong to the United States, and all north and west to Great Britain. Will Great Britain accede to this? I think ehe will." Mr. Bates afterwards wrote to Mr. Everett that Lord Aberdeen had said to him that he considered Mr. Stnrgis' pam phlet "a fair, practicable, and sensible view of the subject, and that it had been read by all the ministers. We think it a very fair in ference that Lord Aberdeen purposed in the treaty to carry out this identical programme. :?d. Hon. Louis McLane, our minister to England, on the ISth of May, 134 G, wrote to Mr. Buchanan that an arrangement could be made by making the boundary along the 4Iltb parallel to the sea, and thence through the Canal de Haro and Straits of Fuca to tho ocean. 4 th. It appears plainly that our Senate, at the date of the confirmation of the treaty of lMH, understood distinctly that the Canal do Haro was the boundary line. See the speeches of Mr. Benton and Cass, as quoted in this correspondence. Tth. Islands appertain rather to the con tinent than to another island. Such has been the principle of the laws of nations, and it has been recognized in discussions with some of the Governments of South America con cerning islands near the coast. (!th. The islands of the Archipolago de Haro are more important to us than they pos sibly can be to England a fact very clearly set foith by General Totten in the report above referred to. Eng land has, in the first-class harbor of Esqui malt, on Vancouver's Island, all that can be wanted for military or commercial purposes, whereas the United States needs that archi pelago as a military end naval station to pro tect the whole of Pugot's Sound. All of our possessions in that quarter are frovned down upon by Vancouver s Island, and Mr. Polk's cry of "54 dep. 40 min. or fight" appeared to indicate at least a clear appreciation of our wants in that quarter we say it appeared to indicate such an appreciation, for he ought certainly to have insisted to the end on our retention of Vancouver's Island. It is be lieved that it could then have been easily ob tained. 7th. Any one who carefully reads the cor respondence will be convinced that this claim was an after-thought. This view is strikingly confirmed on reading tho memorandum of Mr. Tackenham, the British negotiator, who admits (p. 22 1) that he cannot call to mind any circumstance of the negotiation "to strengthen or invalidate tho pretension now put forward by the United States." This is qnoted by Lord llnssell, in his despatch of 24th of August, 18"!, to Lord Lyons. That, at the end of thirteen years, he could recall nothing to invalidate our claim, is very sig nificant. It is plain, from Mr. Bancroft's letter of 2!th of March, 1847, to Mr. Bucha nan, that the British . claim to tho Haro Archipelago originated with tho Hudson's Bay Company. pjfeThe above closes our resume of the prin cipal points brought forward in the corre spondence; but we must add a few words concerning tne military occupation ot Nan Juan, which causod the incorporation in this report of the whulo of Senate document of January ."0, 180, setting forth the causes and results of General Scott's visit to Puget's Sound in 185!). This covers seventy-four pages of Document No. 2!). The joint occu pation was established by General Scott after General Harney had, without a particle ef authority, attempted to embroil the two nations, not on the main question of the boundary-line, but on quite another, viz., whether he should be Justified in taking exclusive possession of the islands pending the action of the two com missioners then on the gronnd for the pur pose of deciding the boundary-line. This exclHsive possession he continued, notwith standing the language of Mr. Marcy, in his letter of 17th July, 1855, to Mr. Crampton, which expressly provided that, pending the running of the boundary, neither party "should exclude the other by force, or exer cise complete and exclusive sovereign rights within the disputed limits." SVe have avoided calling this the "San Juan Question," as that might be misunder stood as referring to the action of Harney, and not to the northwestern bound ary dispute. His action only obscured the main question, and kept our Government busy for a twelvemonth in clearing away the smoke thus raised; and it led to the joint military occupation instituted by General Scott, which does not appear to have hastened the settlement of the question. The briefest notice of this correspondence requires an allusion to two things in the lan guage of the British negotiators. Whereas our commissioner was simply instructed to carry out the treaty and ran the boundary line, Captain Prevost's powers were limited, and he was instructed, under any ciroumstances, not to surrender San Juan. Lord Kussell, in his letter to Lord Lyons of the 24 th August, 1850, indicates a similar ultimatum. There is a small intermediate channel leaving San Juan on the west, and Lopez and Orcas Islands on the east, and they would fain per suade us into accepting it, though plainly not answering the requirements of the treaty, and though its acceptance would imply that neither party was right in the controversy. As introductory to proposing this solution (which should be unsatisfactory to either party), Lord ltussell said, "No settlement of the question will be accepted by her Majes ty's Government which does not provide for the Island of San Juan being reserved to the British Crown." So, forsooth, the only possible solution of the San Juan question which could be made must be our surrender of San Juan! We have read with great satisfaction the reply of Mr. Cass, in his letter of 20th Octo ber, 185!), to Mr. Dallas, in which he says: "If this declaration is to be insisted on, it must terminate the negotiation at its thresh old, because this Government can permit itself to enter into no discussion with that of Great Britain, or any other power, except upon terms of perfect equality. On the 12th December, 1857, Mr. Camp bell applied to Captain Prevost for a full copy of his instructions. Not until the 22d Feb ruary, 185!), did Lord Malmesbnry, then in the Foreign Office, furnish Mr. Dallas a copy of that portion of the instructions by which it appeared that on the 20th December, 185, the British Commissioner, in his original instructions, was directed to insist ou an "intermediate chunnsl;" and, if he could not obtain the adoption of that, must propose to refer the question back to the respective Governments. The same scheme is again indicated in August, 1 85!), by Lord llussell. And we venture to say that a persistent effort, on the part of Enghnd, to obtain the same ' intermediate cnannel, is discernible throughout the recent negotiations with the H on. lleverdy Johnson. It will not be out of place here to make a reference to the steady policy of Great Britain to acquire all over the globe commanding positions capes, headlands, and harbors, which may control the commerce of the world. It is true that the wars with Napoleon led to the acquirement of many of them, aa in the case of Malta and Mauritius. Thus the maritime ascendancy of England was only promoted by those wars, early in this century, giving cause and opportunity for the seizure of important positions. Withont any very thorough search for such a list, we will name Aden, Singapore, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Cape of Good Hope, Falkland Islands, St. Helena, Sierre Leone, Heligo land, the Channel Islands, New Zealand, the West India Islands, Bermuda, Van couver's Island, Newfoundland, Cape Breton. To these should be added India, Burmah, Australia, British Columbia, and the Canadas; but these acquisitions are continental, and belong not to the class of commanding mili tary and naval positions to which we have re ferred. It is true that in some of these countries, as in India, it is claimed that England seeks only commercial ascendancy and not territorial additions; but the dis tinction is a very refined one, and, practi cally, India is British territory. Now, however ready we are to rejoice that the British power, the Anglo-Saxon race, and the English language should be extended to such regions as Australia and New Zealand, yet it will not be wise for statesmen or diplo matists to forget or ignore this appetite of the British Lion to absorb commanding mili tary positions whenever the chance is offered. We wish the utmost success to every legiti mate scheme for the prosperity of those do minions. The motherland has an irresistible claim on our kindred sympathies when she promotes the spread of civilization and Chris tianity, upon which subject it was right and natural for Mr. lleverdy Johnson to descant. Kossuth was in the habit of often saying "the solidarity of nations," meaning that all nations are bound together " with mutual responsibility, each for all," with joint . interest and fel lowship; or are, in sailor phrase, "all on the same bottom, to use the expressive words of Dr. Trench. It is true that our common humanity "makes the whole world kin;" that the best rivalry and highest ambi tion should be to do the utmost to advance the welfare and improvement of the whole human family; but while we would freely admit that we are susceptible to all the en kindling emotions which such cosmopolitan views excite, it is, in practical life, neces sary to treat nations and governments as we find them. There is deep wisdom as well as great pathos in that passage in the farewell address of Washington in which he was forced to a like conclusion: "It will be wor thy 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 giuded by an exalted justice and benevolence. .The experiment, at least, is recommended by every sentiment, which ennobles human nature. Aias .' is it to be rendered impossible by its vices?" From Mr. Bancroft's letter of the 29th March, 1847, to Mr. Buchanan, it should seem that be, at that early date, had intimations that the Hudson's Bay Com pany wished to get some of the islands in the Archipelago de Haro. The first de velopment ot tne claim occurred when our tax-gatherers levied a tax on some sheep of the Hudson's Bay Company, on San Juan Island, in 1855. The company intended to evade the payment of said tax, and the sheriff of Washington Territory seized some of the sheep, and sold them to meet the tax. In 1858, Dickens, in the "Household Words," said that the Government of Great Britain should "make of one of these islands a second Cronstadt, thus securing, as with a padlock, her possessions on the Pacific coast." A "second Malta" would have been a more appropriate name for San Juan than a second Cronstadt. It is. a commanding position, like Malta, but does not com mand tho cnannel. JNeitner Malta nor Gibraltar command the channels in their vicinity, but they are f avbrably situated to assist in guarding commercial interests. Such is the situation of San Juan Island, as ably set forth by General Totten. It is not needed by England, which has Esquimau opposite, as we have above explained. Lsqui malt, indeed, nas been for twelve years a large naval station for the British navy, and they need no other or better in that region Bit we do need San Juan Island and the Archipelago de Haro as an offset to the pre ponderant and threatening vicinity of Van rouver's Island. And the completion of the Northern Pacific Ilailroad to Puget's Sound will make this fact every day more and more evident to our people. This brings us to allude to the treaty now before the Senate, negotiated by Mr. lleverdy Johnson, which proposes to submit this ques tion to arbitration, the President of the Swiss Confederation to be the arbiter. "All correspondence, documents, maps, surveys etc., relating to the subject, shall be placed at his disposal within twelve months after the ratification of the treaty The referee is to endeavor to do- duco the precise line of boundary from the words of the treaty ef 1840; but, if unable to do so, he is at liberty to deter mine upon some line which will, in his opinion, furnish an equitable solution of the difficulty, and be the nearest approximation that can be made to an accurate construction thereof." His "decision to be final and con clusive, and carried into immediate effect." At the last session of Congress, the Senate, we think, wisely declined to ratify this treaty. It is said that an able speech against it was made by the Hon. Jacob N. Howard, Senator fr6m Michigan. We hope that, when the Senate again assembles, this treaty will be definitely rejected. We believe that the whole scope and effect of the provision above quoted would be to invite and lead to a compromise channel, and there are ample reasons why any such result should be resisted. We believe that, if Mr. Sumner had seriously taken hold of this question, he would have found at least equal ground for the rejection of this trea'y as for that respecting the Alabama claims. Whatever respect we may have for the mo tives of Mr. lteverdy Johnson, it is apparent that, in the negotiation of this treaty, he was insensibly led to the use of phraseology cal culated to prejudice our claims in this bound ary question. We believe that it can be set tled without arbitration, and that the British Government will yield to us the Canal de Haro as the boundary. Our people have been averse to arbitra tions ever since an attempt was made, thirty years ago, to settle the Northeastern Boun- Since writing the above we have seen the speech of Neiiator Howard, the injunction of secrecy uiviog been removed.

It was time wasted; for, as he attempted to de cide nothing, bat proposed to run a line half way between the two, "splitting the differ ence, our Government (which had reserved that privilege) refused to consent to his pro position. It Is asking a gTeat deal of us to propose to submit such a question aa our Northwestern boundary to arbitration. Our claims are of so clear and positive a character that it must be very hard for one familiar with them to consent to such a process. And we do not wonder that the people of Washington Ter ritory have sent the protest against arbitra tion presented to the Senate on the 19th January, 18U9, by Senator Corbett. We wish to speak with entire reRpect of the British Government, which seems desirous to close up the topics of difference between the two Governments. But it does not require a remembrance of the doctrine of total de pravity, it only requires a wholesome recur rence to poor human nature as it is, and to the spirit of encroachment which powerful nations too often adopt, to place ns on our gnard. This is a claim concerning which Mr. Ban croft, in his letter of the 15th of June, 1858, to Mr. Campbell, said, "It should be met at the outset as one too preposterous to be en tertained." Again, "The Hudson's Bay Company may naturally enough covet the group of islands east of that channel, but the desire, which can never amount to a claim, should not be listened to for a moment." Diplomacy has examples in which a claim ant whose side is weakest, whose cause is unsubstantial, finally gets a slice by mere perseverance, by the mere process of raising the smoke of contest. It will readily be seen that such results would not be very satisfac tory and statesmanlike, and would not pro mote the cause of permanent peace. The refined civilization of the age would seek an adjustment founded on justice, and not one of a hollow character a Banquo's ghost to haunt the diplomacy of the future. SUMMER RESORTS. CAPE MAY.
