tpkUEMJDErtT’S MESSAGE. tContinued from Jlrd page.] 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 hi tbe Heart of tbe people At tbe inauguration of Washington tbe fohjign relations of the country were few, AI.SO, CANDIES, CAKES AND PIES OF HIS OWN MANUFACTURE —FRESH EV ERY DAY!

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?
