By tlie treaty of Washington, of August 9, 1842, it was made the duty of the United States io indemnify Maine for her expenses ?"/^urred in protecting and defending the territory which hud been in dispute with Great Britain. Under this article, her expenses for troops, civil posse and otherwise, were audited at the treasury, and as the amounts so audited were reported from time to time, appr ; ati^o^s were made to pay them. No question, or doubt has ever been t^a^rted upon that point. The present claim of Ma,„c arises, not ^om the denial of her right to be indemnified for interest paid in consequence of the expendi- tures in defending her territory, but from the erroneous minner in which her interest account has been adjusted at the treasury The State of Maryland had a question of this kind with the United States, which was finally adjusted by the twelfth section of the act of March 3, 18o7, entitled " An act making appropriations for certain eiyil expenses of the govern- ment for the year ending June 30. 1858." This twelfth section is in the foUow- '"^' Sec \k And be it further enacted, That the proper accounting officers of the treasury be, and they are hereby, authorized and directed to re-examine the accoi nt befweek the United States and the State of Maryland, as the same was from t"me to time adjusted under the act passed May 13 1826, entitled « An act authorizing the payment of interest due to the State of Mary and,' and on such re-examination to assume the sums expendo^d by the State of Maryland for he use and benefit of the United States, and the sums refunded and repaid by the United States to the said State, and the times of such payments, as being cor- rectly stated in the account, as the same has heretofore been passed at the Treas- ury Department; but in the calculation of interest, due uiider ^e act aforesaid the following rules shall be observed, to wit : interest shall be ca culated up to the fme of any payment made. To this interest the payment shall be firBt.apphed Z if it exceed the interest due. the balance shall be applied to diminish the principal. If the payment fall short of the interest, the baJance of interest sha fiot be^dded to the principal, so as to produce interest. Second, interest shall be allowed the State of Maryland on such sums only on which the said State either paid interest or lost interest, by the transfer of an mterest-bearmg fund. Maine now asks that her interest account, as adjusted under the act of March 3. 1851, shall be recomputed upon the principles of justice, as air ady applied to the case of Maryland. ,11. CLAIM FOR INTEREST DPOX THE ADVANCE* MADE BY MASSACHUSETTS IN THE WAR OF 1812-'15. By the articles of separation agreed upon in 1819 between MasfliichuseUBa^^^ Maine, the claim of Massachusetts for advances made for the United States m the war of 1812-'15 with Great Britain was divided between the two States m the proportion of two-thirds to Massachusetts and o««-tb;rd to Maine The rule of allowing interest has been applied not only to States b«t to cor- porations and individuals. See (United States Laws. vol. 9. page 236) hird section of the act to refund advances. &c., for the Mexican war, as follows " That, in refunding moneys under this act and the resolution which it amends. it shall t lawful to pay interest at the rate of ^^-.rr^'^'VZZ'lh^^itl sums advanced by States, corporations, or individuals m '\" .?««f ™;^ J.^". «.„.! .,;r.Jr.r. inrlivWlnal t.aid ov lost the interest or is liable to pay it. 4 Mll.irARY liAII.KOAl) IN MAINK (lie let (if M.iM'li ;l, isr*'/, ciitillcd "Am iifl iii.ikiii;; iippropriiiliDiiK for i'.< rtaiii civil <'.\|)('iif<('M III llic j^dvciniiicnl, lor (.lio year ciuliii;,' on tlm .(Otli of .Uiw\ 18.08."

It wa.s after- wjinis three times favorably reported upon by the Semite Committee on Claims, and fnnr tinns by the same coinnuttee of the House. Few measures of private le>;i!-l!it ion have lu en mo;e m.aturely considered or uioie intcdligently acted upon. In the lirst report of the Senate Connuittee on Claims, niuie by Hon. li. F. Wade, the fcdlowiii;; l.uij^Uiige is used: "This claim is based upon the ground th.-it. as the property of the citizen was perilled and actually lost in the accomp'i^hment of an end v.alnable. to the genei.al government, it shoul.l be regarded as property taken far the public use, and for which i-ompen.-atiou should bo made." In the second report o\' the Senate Committee on Claims, made in April, IS.OS, by Mr. Clark, of New Hampshire, (see Senate reports of that session. No. IbS,) ♦' in New Brunswick and 73 in Nova Scotia are in process of ronstrnclion under contracts with responsible parties, aided by the subsidies of the provincial governments, while branch lines are being ex- tended in both provinces, whose connexions will add to the value of tlie trunk line. From St. John to Bangor. Maine, ia 196 miles— lOS miles in Maine and 88 mile? in New Rlun^•wick— making !\ total of ^ S miles from Halifax to Bangor, the present terminus of the line oast. From Bangor to Portland, i;^S miles t to MILITAUY IIAILfiOAI) IN MAINK. 5 noHlori, 248 niilcH ; from Hoatoii to N(;w York, 2'M niilc.« — i ared with steamer, a saving which will give to the railway a large proportion of the trans- atlantic travel. In the language of a committee of the legislature of Maine, in 1864, "This line of railway is the great(!st possible enterprise for Maine. It will, comraer- cially, unite the lower provinces with the United States and Canada, and at- tract across the breadth of our great State that stream of European travel and traffic that, once set in motion, shall forever increase in volume and value." It was elsewhere said : "This line has the a.-surance of a larger through business than any line of equal extent on the continent. Intercourse rapidly increases between Europe; and America. When the charter of the European and North American Railway (-ompany was grant( d, in 1850, only two ocean steamers crossed the Atlantic per week; now they are increased to^oc or more. In a lew y(;ars there will be a steamer departing on I'urtliind and llalit'ax. "No siii'li rcsultrt ixYv slinwM ou Miiy line of railway in tlii' world. 'I'licro irt no Buch fund of bupincsrt as thiw anywhere else to draw upon in tbe future. On no other line of 5!)() miles in lenj^th — the , liusincss will assume a magnitude and importance^ beyond any line of e(nml hmgth on this continejit. " If we would carry 20 tlu'ough ])assengers at ordinary rates to and from Bangor and Halifax on each train each way daily, the ])rofits of the road from the way business would make this a hrst <'.laPs line, as shown by the niceipts on the lines in New lirunswick and Nova Scotia. H a train ran each way daily with 20 through passengers in each train, it would amount to rmli/ 12,440 through passengers for the year. Give three times this amount of tlirongh business, and it must become a profitable line. This busin(!S3 can never be di- verted. This is the shortest and quickest route and must remain so forever. " The hundreds of millions of Europeans will, in time, bo exceeded by tin; in- habitants of North America." The measurr* that is now asked of Congress by the States of Maine; and Massachusetts, while it secures the accomplishment of an enterprise of para- mount importance to the nation at large, is simply an act of justice to these States. Nevertheli'ss, the money is not kept for their own treasuries — needed as it is by the pressing demands upon them — but passes at once to the benefit of a measure alike in aid of national defence, of international amity, and of the material develApmcnt of Now England and the IJritish maritime provinces, whose business relations, already intimate and cordial, will soon be as close as those between the States of the Atlantic seaboard and the interior. The iron arm of the railway is reaching westward towards the Pacific shores, and our government is doing its part to bring the distant I'acific States into closest union with those of tlu Mississippi valley and the Atlantic slope. The extension of the railway eastward from the commercial metropolis of the Union to the foreland of the continent upem the Atlantic shore, to meet the al- ready vast but increasing flood of European imrai'gration, and carry out the stream of pleasure tourists and business men to Europe, will make the inter- course between the two hemispheres so intimate and univtMsal as to materially modify the life and habits of both; and the distinctions and Jealousies of states be obliterated by the development of the stronger social and moral aiHnitiea of race, language, literature, and religion, which are sure in the end to unite all the races and peoples of the earth.
