In the War of 1812 he was a lieutenant in a military company which in October 1812 captured a company of Canadian militia at St. Regis.
It was necessary for him to move to Niagara County for the celebrated trial of the alleged slayers of one William Morgan, who had made enemies by threatening to expose Masonic secrets.
Marcy negotiated the Canadian reciprocity treaty in 1854, sought the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, promoted the abolition of the Danish Sound dues, urged the free navigation of international streams, and favored the annexation of Cuba if this could be accomplished without war.

 Reciprocity with the United States of America: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
The issue of "free trade" or reciprocity was first debated during the early 1850s, when it was proposed that Newfoundland should become party to a reciprocity treaty being negotiated between the British North American colonies and the U.S. The treaty was signed in 1854, and Newfoundland signed on the following year.
The Canadian government was outraged at this development, and lodged a strong protest with the British government.
Their position was strengthened by a court decision that Newfoundland could not refuse bait to Canadian fishermen, the only lever which the colony had at its disposal, and by the knowledge that in the last analysis, the British government would support Canada over the reciprocity issue.

The Four Political Parties of Canada In a country as vast and as culturally diverse as Canada, many different political opinions can be found stretched across the country.
To represent these varying political views, Canada has four official national political parties to choose from: the Liberals (who are currently in power), the Progressive Conservatives, the New Democrats, and the Reform Party.
(Morton, pgs.12-27, 1986) Even to the casual Canadian political observer, the NDP is generally regarded as the party at the bottom of the political barrel at the federal level.

 Canadian Dimension / Articles / Israel, Racism, and the Canadian Media(Dan Freeman-Maloy)
For Canadians to support Israel, they must adopt the Israeli perspective regarding the native population of this land, the view that the Palestinian population is an ethnic imbalance to be corrected, a problem to be dealt with, a “demographic threat” to a state which must be made “Jewish” at all costs.
Even for the killing of Canadians, Israeli culpability was sidelined: “Lebanon terror hits home,” read a Toronto Star headline on the topic for July 17; “Canadians were killed in crossfire of fight with Hezbollah,” read another headline, this one from the July 18 issue of the Globe and Mail.
Prominent among these is the decision by the Ontario wing of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE-Ontario), Canada’s largest union of public sector workers, to identify Israel’s regime of systematic ethnic and national discrimination as apartheid, and to join the call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel until apartheid is dismantled.

 Reciprocity Treaty, 1911
The Reciprocity Agreement in 1911 was much more than a debate over a trading arrangement between the United States and Canada.
The opponents of reciprocity, led by businessmen in Central Canada and the Conservative Party, argued that the choice was one between Canadian nationalism with its strong British connections, and the continentalization of North America, with the United States as the dominant centre.
To compound Laurier's problem, he was seen in Quebec as being too imperialistic in his proposal for a Canadian navy and his involvement of Canadians in the Boer War.

 Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
Cartwright argued that Canadians should use the crisis to remind themselves of the reasons for the colony’s existence, including the sacrifices made by the United Empire Loyalists, and to demand active British military support.
And, while Cartwright never wanted confidence in his own political talents, he recognized in 1869 that he lacked the political experience and seniority needed for the portfolio and that he came from a region already well represented in cabinet by Macdonald and Alexander Campbell.
Politics, he maintained, was “war and many things are lawful,” a maxim he clearly applied to the Liberals’ efforts to obstruct Macdonald’s electoral franchise bill of 1885, when the parliamentary session stretched from January to July.

Political authority is not a force of nature; it does not inhere in Messrs.
The handful of men and women who wield ultimate political power do not and cannot possess sufficient force to compel the people to obey them or, more accurately, cannot possibly compel their subjects to do everything that is necessary in order to sustain their power.
All political systems are defined by their use of violence – whether actual or threatened – to compel people to do what they do not otherwise choose to do.

 HaldenJohnson {dot} Net : The Golden Rule V. The Rule of Reciprocity
Unfortunately many people actually live by the rule of reciprocity which dictates that people will treat others as they themselves are treated or as they perceive they are treated.
The rule of Reciprocity, on the other hand, limits our ability to gage moral judgments by basing our decisions on what is known of others attitudes towards us.
Reciprocity makes us prone to rash or wrongly influenced judgments; it is this kind of thinking that can lead to generalizations.

The co-chairs appear to be creating the impression they expect reciprocity from the Sinhala government in return for coming down hard on the LTTE.
In all probability the co-chairs are fine tuning their counterinsurgency strategy, by conjuring the illusion that the government would respond to pressure they exert and cough up a political solution.
Their evident objective is to project the LTTE as an organisation addicted to war, as the obstacle to implementing any solution desired by the Tamil people and thereby to divide the Tamil national movement and weaken the LTTE.
