""Mr. Webster's Vindication of the Treaty of Washington of 1842"" is a speech delivered by Daniel Webster in the Senate of the United States in 1846. The speech is a defense of the Treaty of Washington, which was signed in 1842 between the United States and Great Britain. The treaty resolved several long-standing disputes between the two countries, including the boundary between Maine and Canada and the issue of British interference with American shipping. In his speech, Webster argues that the treaty was a fair and just agreement that served the best interests of both countries. He addresses criticisms of the treaty, particularly those from members of Congress who believed that the United States had given up too much in the negotiations. Webster defends the treaty's provisions, arguing that they were necessary compromises in order to achieve a lasting peace between the two nations. Throughout the speech, Webster emphasizes the importance of maintaining good relations with Great Britain, which he sees as a crucial ally in the face of growing tensions with other European powers. He also stresses the need for the United States to exercise caution and restraint in its dealings with other countries, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts and maintain its position as a global power. Overall, ""Mr. Webster's Vindication of the Treaty of Washington of 1842"" is a passionate defense of a key diplomatic agreement between the United States and Great Britain, and a call for continued cooperation between the two nations in the face of international challenges.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
