But the Remarker “does not see why the argu- ments employed concerning a security for a peace- able behaviour in Canada would not be equally cogent for calling for the same security in Europe.” * On a little farther reflection, he must, I think, be sensible that the circumstances of the two cases are widely different. Here we are separated by the best and clearest of boundaries, the ocean, and we have people in or near every part of our territory. Any attempt to encroach upon us by building a fort, even in the obscurest corner of these Islands, must therefore be known and prevented immediately. The aggressors also must be known, and the nation they belong to would be accountable for their aggression. In America it is quite otherwise. A vast wilder- ness, thinly or scarce at all peopled, conceals with ease the march of troops and workmen. Important passes may be seized within our limits, and forts built in a month, at a small expense, that may cost us an age and a million to remove. Dear experience has taught this. But what is still worse, the wide- extended forests between our settlements and theirs are inhabited by barbarous tribes of savages that delight in war, and take pride in murder; sub- jects properly neither of the French nor English, but strongly attached to the former by the art and I Remarks, p. 28. 8
