' ON THE -
;Ulusu()N QUESTION;
No. 2.
New Youk, Jannary 13th, 1846,
It has, it is believed, begn conelusively
proved that the cluim of the United States
Lo absolule sovereignty over the whole Ore-
gon ternitory, W virtue of the aucwnt ex
clusive Spunish clamm, s wholly unfound
¢d. The next ouestion Is, whether the oth
er facts and argduments adduced by enher
party establish w complere aud absolwte ttle
of either to the whaole @ for the Yuited States
claim it explicitly 5 and, although the British
proposal of compromise dud yiweld a part, yet
lier qualified claim extends 1o the whole,
has been stuted by herself in the following
words (—*Greot Britein clanns no exclusive
sovereignty over any portion ol thaj ternitory.
Her present elawn, not i respect osy part,
but to the whole, 18 hmited 16 a 0 nght of
juintoceuvaney, i coipmon with other tawes,
leaving the nght of exclusive domimon i
abeyance And agumn: *The qualitied
rights which Great Britain now possesses
over the whole of the tentory e queston,
embrace the right to nuvigete the waters of
those conntries, the nght to sctte wm und over
any part of thewm, ,;”d the right treely o
jtsjutle with the ahabitants and veecupiers
olthe same » * = = [ iy fully adunt
ted that the United Srates possess the same
rights ; but beyond they possess none”’
‘ In the noatare of lll:‘ngs, Il seems ulmnq‘
impossihle that a complete and übsolnte right
to any portion of Americn can exist, unless
it can be by prescripuve and undispuied actu
al pussession aud settlements, or by viriue
ol a treaty, |
; At the time when America was dig
covered, the law of natons was oltogether
upsettled. More than a century elupsed be
fore Grotius attempted to lay its lcundation
on Natural Law and the moral precepts of
Christianity ; “and, when eustaining 1t by
precedents, he was compelled to recur to
Rome and Greece, It wus in reality a new
case, to which no ancient precedents could
apply,* for which some new roles must be
sdopted. Gradually, some general prine
ples were admitted, neyer universally,
their nature vague and often conflicting.—
For stance, discovery varies, trom the
simple sscertaining of the contintity of land,
(o & minute expioration of 148 *yarwwus har
bors, rivers, &c.; and the nights denved
from it may vary accordingly, und may oc
casionally be claimed to the sume district by
different navions, ‘l'here is no precise rule for
regulating the fune after which the neglect
e occupy would nulhify the right of prior
‘discovery : nor for defimng the extent of
coagt beyoud the spot discovered to which
the ¢hscoverer way be entitled, or how fur
finland s claun extends. The pnnciple
(most generally oduntted was, that in case
of a niver, the night egtejded to the whole
country drained by that nivey and s tributa
ries, Fven this was not universally con
cedeid. "This pight might be effected by a
‘simultaneous of prior discovery and gecu
‘pancy of some of the sources of such’ river
by another party 5 or it might conflict with
‘a general clann of contiguity. This last
claim, when extending beyond the sources
lof rivers discovered apd occupied, s vague
‘and undefined ; though it would secm that
Gt cannot exceed in bicadth that of the ter
ritory on the coast originally discovered and
joccupied. A few examples will ehow the
uncertainty resulting from lhose varnous
claims, whey they conflicted with each other.
' Ihe old Beush charters extending from
sea 1o sea have nlready been mentioned. -
T'heywere founded,beyond the svurces ol the
rivers emptying o the .}llsnuc. ol o oth.
er principle than that of contiguity. The
grant in 1521 of Nova Scotia, by Jumes the
First, is bounded on' the north by'the niver
St. Lawrence, though Cartiwr had more
than eighty-five years befure discovered the
moutl: of that nver, und ascended 1t as high
up as the present site of Montreal, and the
Freneh under Champlain bad several yenrs
before 1821 been sciticd st (%'wbuc. Buat
there is auvther case more wlportant, and
still more 1 point.
- The few survivors of the disastrous expe
dition of Marvaez, who coming from Florida,
did in w omost extraordinary way reach
Culiacan on the Pacific, were the first Buro
ropeans who crossed the Mississippr. Some
years later, 'erdinand de Soto, coming ulso
from Florida, did i the year 1541 reach and
‘cross the Mississippi, at some place between
