"Resolved, that the boundary line between the State of Maine and the British Province of New Brunswick, is so clearly defined by the treaty of 1783, that the terms of the treaty can neither be misapprehended, nor afford any support to the unjust pretensions of Great Britain. Resolved, that this Commonwealth, as a joint proprietor with the State of Maine of the territory alleged to be in dispute, has an interest in all negotiations respecting the same, which demands her watchful attention, that her rights and interests may be preserved unimpaired and unchanged without her assent."--Page 2.
