"It is thus that the treaty-making power has been understood by foreign nations."

"The nature of foreign negotiations requires caution, and their success must often depend on secrecy."

"This early communication of the treaty with Spain has become necessary because it is stipulated in the third article that commissioners for running the boundary line shall meet at the Natchez."

"This treaty has been ratified by me agreeably to the Constitution."
