made that concession there was a marked
difference. The materials of war for the
insurgent States were furnished, in a great
measure, from the workshops of Great
tneasure, from the workshops
Britain, and British ships, manned by
British subjects, and prepared for receiv
ing -British armaments, sallied from the
porta of Great Britain, to make war on
American commerce, under the shelter of
a commission from the insurgent States.
These ships, having once escaped from
British ports, ever afterwards entered
tliem in every part of the world, to refit,
and so to renew their depredations. The
consequences of this conduct were most
disastrous to the States then in rebellion,
' increasing their desolation aud misery by
the proclamation of our civil contest. It
had, moreover, the effect, to a great ex
tent, to drive the American flag from the
sea, and to transfer much of onr shipping
and onr commerce to the very Power whose
subjects had created the necessity for
6uch a change- Tlifeae events took place
before I was called to the administration
of the Government The sincere desire
For peace by which I am animated led me
to approve the proposal, already made, to
submit the questions which bad thus aris
en between the countries to arbitration.
These questions are of such moment that
they must have commanded the attention
of the great Powers, and are so interwo
ven with the peace and interest of every
one of them as to have ensured an impar
tial decision. I regret to inform you that
Great Britain declined the arbitrament,
but, on the other hand, invited us to the
formation of a joint commission toimttle
mutual claims between the twocouwffies,
from which those for the depredations be
fore mentioned should be excluded. The
proposition, in that very unsatisfactory
form, has been declined,
i The United States did not present the
subject as an impeachment of the good
faith of a Power which was professing the
most friendly dispositions, but as involv
ing questions of public law, of which the
settlement is essential to the peace of na
tions; and, thoagh pecuniary reparation
to their injured citizens would have fol
lowed incidentally on a decision against
Great Britain, such compensation was not
their primary object. They had a higher
motive, and it was in the in!crests of
peace and justice to establish important
principles of international law. The cor
respondence will be placed before you.—
The ground on which the British Minister
rests his justification is, substantially,
that the municipal law of a nation, and
the domestic: interpretations of that law,
are the measure of its duty as a neutral;
and I feel bound to declare my opinion,
before you and before the world, that that
justification cannot be sustained before
the tribunal of nations. At the same time
I do not advise to any present attempt at
redress by acts of legislation. For the
future, friendship between the two coun
tries must rest on the basis of mutual jus
tice.
From the moment of the establishment
•of our free Constitution, the civilized
world lias been convulsed by revolutions
in the interests of democracy or mon
archy; but through all those revolutions
the United States have wisely and firmly
Tefused to become propagandists of re
publicanism. It is the only government
suited to our condition; but we have
never sought to impose it on others; and
we have constantly followed the advice
of Washington to recommend it only by
the careful preservation and prudent use
of the blessing. During all the inter
vening period of the policy of European
Powers and of the United States has, on
\ the whole, been harmonious. Twice, in
deed, rumors of the invasion of some
parts of America, in the interest of mon
archy, have prevailed; twice my prede
cessors have had occasion to announce
the views of this nation in respect to such
interference. On both occasions the re
monstrance of the United States was res
pected, from deep conviction, on the part
of European Governments, that the sys
tem of noninterference and mutual absti
nence from propagandism was the true
rule for the two hemispheres.
Since those times we have advanced in
wealth and power; but we retain the same
purpose to leave the nations of Europe
to choose their own dynasties and their
Own systems of government. This con
sistent moderation may justly demand
corresponding moderation. We regard
it a calamity to oursclvcp, to the cause of
good government, and to the peace of the
world, should any European Power chal
lenge the American people, as it were, to
the defense of republicanism against for,
eign interference. We cannot foreseo-
and arc unwilling to consider, what op
portunitics might present themselves,
what combinations might offer to protect
ourselves against designs inimical to our
form of government. The United States
desire to act in the future as they have
ever acted heretofore; they never will be
driven from that course but by the ag
gression of European powers; and we
rely on the wisdom and justice of those
powers to respect the system of non-in
terference which has so long been sanc
tioned by time, and which, by its good
results, has approved itself to both con
tinents.
Tbe correspondence between the United
States and France, in reference to qoes
turns which have become subjects of dis
cussion between the two Governments,
will, at a proper time, be laid before Con
gress
When, on the organization of our Gov
ernment, under the Constitution, the Presi
dent of the United States delivered his
inaugural address to the two Houses of
Congress, he said to them, and throu Q
them to the country and to mankind, that
“ the preservation of the sacred fire of
liberty and the destiny of the republican
model of government are justly considered
as deeply, perhaps as finally staked on the
experiment intrusted to the American
people.” And the house of Represenativcs
answered Washington by tbe voice of
llsdjson: 41 We adore the invisible hand
which has led the American people, thro’
aoniany difficulties, to cherish a conscious
responsibility for the destiny of republican
liberty”
More than seventy-six years have glid
cd away since these words were spoken,
the United States have passed through
severer trials than were foreseen; and
now, at this new epoch in our existence
as one nation, with onr Uuion purified by
sorrows, and strengthened by conflict
and established by the virtse of the peo
ple, tbe greats ess of tbe occasion invites
us once more to repeat, with solemnity,
the pledges of our fathers to bold our
selves answerable before onr fellow-men
for tbe success of tbe republican form of
government. Experience baa prov&l its
aafficiency in peace and in war; it has
vindicated its authority through dangers
and afflictions, and sudden and terrible
emergencies, which would have crushed
any system that had been less firmly fixed

At tbe inauguration of Washington tbe

and its trade was repressed by hostile
regulations; now all tbe civilized nations
of the globe welcome our commerce, and
their Governments profess towards us
amity. Then our country felt its way
hesitatingly along an untried path) with
States so little bound together by rapid
means of communication as to be hardly
known to one another, aud with historic
traditionsextendiog over very few years;
now intercourse between the States is
swift and intimate; the experience of cen
turies has been crowded into a few gen
erations, and has created an intense, in
destructible nationality. Them onr juris
diction did not reach beyond tbe inconven
ient boandaVies of the terrytory which
had achieved independence; now, through
cessions of lands, first colonized by Spaiu
and France, the country has acquired a
more complex character, and lias for its
natural limits the chain of Lakes, the
Gulf of Mexico, and on the east and west
the two great occeaus. Other nations
were washed by civil wars for ages be
fore they could establish for themselves
tbe necessary degree of unity; latent con
viction that our form of government is
the best ever,known to the world, has en
abled us to emerge from civil war within
the last four years, with a complete vin
dication of the constitutional authority of
the General Government, and with our
local liberties and State institutions un
impaired. The throngs of emigrants
that crowd to our shores are witnesses of
the confidence of all peoples in onr per
manence.
labor, where industry is blessed with un
cxampled rewards, and the bread of the
working man is sweetened by the con
sciousness of the cause of the country “is
his own cause, his own safety, his own
dignity.” Here every one enjoys the free
use of his faculties and the choice of ac
tivity as a natural right. Here, under the
combined influence of a fruitful soil, geni
al climes, and happy institutions, popula
tion has increased fifteen fold within a
century. Here, through the easy devel
opment of boundless resources, wealth has
increased with two-fold greater rapidity
than numbers, so that we have become se
cure against the finantio! vicissitudes of
other countries, and alike in business and
in opinion, are self-centred, and truly in
dependent. Here, more ami more care is
given to provide education for every one
born on our soil. Here, religion, released
from political connection with the civil
government, refuses to subserve the craft
of statesmen, and .becomes, in its indepen
dence, the spiritual life of the people.—
Here, toleration is extended to every
opinion, in the quiet certainty that truth
needs only a fair field to secure the victo
ry. Here the human mind goes forth un
shackled in the pursuit of science, to col
lect stores of knowledge and acquire an
ever-increasing mastery over the forces
of nature. Here the national domain is
offered and held iu millions of separate
freeholds, so that our fellow-citizens, be-
youd the occupants of any other part of
the earth, constitute in reality a people.
Here exists the democratic form of gov
ernment; and that form of government, by
the confession of European statesmen,
“gives a power of which no other form is
capable, because it incorporates every
man with the State, and arouses every
thing that belongs to the soil.”
Where, in past history, does a parallel
exist to the public happiness which is
within the reach of the people of the U.
States? Where, in any part of the globe
can institutions be found so suited to
their own free Constitution? Every one
of them, then, iu whatever part of the
land he lias his home, must wish its per
petuity. Who of them will not now ac
knowledge, in the words of Washington,
that “every step by^which the people of
the United States have advanced to the
character of an independent nation seems
to have been distinguished by some token
of Providential agency?” Who will not
join with me in the prayer that the Invis
ible Hand which has led us through the
clouds that gloomed around onr path will
so guide us onward to a perfect restora
tion of fraternal affection, that we of this
day may be able to transmit our great in
heritance of State Governments in all
their rights, of the General Government
in its whole constitutional vigor, to our
posterity, and to theirs through count
less generations?
