To the Senate, and House of
Representatives of lhe United Stales:
We have continued cause for expressing our gratitude to
he Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the benefits and
I blessings which our country, under hia kind Providence.
| lias enjoyed during the past year. Notwithstanding the
j' exciting scenes through which we have passed, nothing lias
occurred to disturb the general p**ace. or to derange the
harmony of our political system. The great moral specta
cle has been exhibited of a nation, approximating iu num
ber to 20,000.000 of people, having performed the high anil-
important f ncfioh'ol electing their Chief Magistrate for the
term ofintir year*, without the commission of tiny net of
violence, or tVe manifestation of a spirit of insubordination
to the laws. The great ami inestimable right qf. suffrage,
has been exe-ciseil by all who were invested with it! under
the laws of the different States in a spirit d'etated alone by
a desire, in tnesfe’feCtinn of the agent, to advance the inter
eBta of the country, and to place beyond jeopardy the icsti
tutions tinder which it is our happiness to live* That the
deepest interest has been manifested bv our countrymen in
the result of the election, is not less ti ue than highly credita
ble to them. Vast multitudes nave assembled, from time to
time, at various places, for the pm pose of canvassing the
merits and pretensions of those who were presented for
their suffrages; but no acme-: soldiery has been necessary
to restrain, within proper limits, the popular zeal, or to pre
vent violent outbreaks. A principle much more controlling
was found in Uie love of order and obedience to the laws,
which with mere individual exceptions, every where pos
sesses the American mind. an*4 controls with at. influence
far.owe powerful than host* of armed men. We cannot
dwell upon this picture without recognising in it that deep
and devoted attachment on the part of the People, to the in
stitutions under which we live, which proclaims their pei-
petuity. The great objection which has always prevailed a
gainst the election, by the people, o» their Chief Executive
officer, has been the apprehension oftuinults and disorder
which might involve in ruin the entire Government. ‘ A se
curity against this, is found not only in the fact before alluded
to. but in the additional fact that, we live under a confeder
acy embracing already twenty-six States ; no one of which
has power to control the election. The popular vote in
each State is taken ntthetime appointed by the laws, and
such vote is announced by the Electoral Coffee?, without
reference to the decision of the other States. The right of j o stipulation t<
suffrage, and the mode of conducting the election is regula
ted by the laws of each Siate; and the election is distinctly
federative in'all its prominent features. Thas it is that, un a variety ofi article* ntwtf
like what niighr be the results under a consolidated system 1 bII duty under the act of C
riotous proceedings, should they prevail, could only uffect
t» e election iu single Sta tes, without disturbing, to any dan
gerous extent, the tranquility of others. The great experi
ment of a politicaW*anfeder.icy—each member of which is
supreme—as to all matters appertaining to its local interests
and its internal peace nnd happiness-—while by a voluntary
compact with others, it confides to the united power ofall,
the protection ofits citizens, In^matters not domestic—has
been so far crowned with* suet ess. The world has witness
ed its rapid growth in wealth and population; nnd under
the guide and direction of a super intending Providence, the
de^e'opements of the past may be regarded but as shadow
ing forth the mighty future. In the bright prospects of
that fut-jie. we shall find, as patriots and philanthropists
the highest inducements to cultivate and cherish a love of
union, ami to frown down every measure or effort which
may be made to alienate ilio States, or the people of the
States, in sentiment and feeling, from each other. A rigid
and close adherence to the terms of our political compact.
and above all, a sacred observance of the guaranties of the
Constitution, will preserve union un a foundation which can
not lie shaken ; while pe r sonal liberty is placed beyond bat
nrd orjeopardy. The guarantee of religious freedom, of
the freedom of the press, of the liberty of speech, of the trlai j flatter myself that she w
by j or r, of the habeas corpus, and of tne domestic iusiiutios ,l ’ e ' pm . rptntmr t
of each of the States—leaving the private citizen in the full
exercise of the high and ennobling attributes of his nature j opera
and to each State the priviledge, which can only be judi x "
ciously exerted by itself, of consulting the means best ealeu
lalcd to advance its own happiness—these are the great and \ Einpi
important guarantees of the Constitution, which the lovers
of liberty must cherish and the advocates of union must
ever cultivate.
Preserving these, and avoiding all iutetpolations by for
ced construction, under the guise of un imagined expedien
cy; upon the Constitution, the inlluenoe of our politico! sys
tem is destii ed to be as actively and ns beneficially felt on
the distant shores of the Pacific, as it is now on those of the
Atlantic ocean. The only formidable impediments in the
way of its •successful expansion (time and rrpace) are so far
in the progress of modification by the improvements of the
age. as to render no longer speculative the ability of Rep
resentatives from that remote region to come up to the
Capitol, so that their constituents shall participate in all the
benefit*of the Federal legislation. Thus it js. that in the
progress of time, the ineslimat le prirfcip’es of civil liberty
will be enjoyed by millions yet unborn, and the greaibene-
fit* of our system of Government be extended to no dis
tant and uninhabited regions. In view of the vast wilder
ness yet to be reclaimed, we may well invite the lover of
freedom..of"every land.fo lake up his abode among us. and
atliA fisin the great work of advancing the standard ufclvi-
Iizatinn, and giving a wider spread to- the arts and rctine-
KMfih of cultivated life. Our prayers should evermore be
offered up to the Father of the Universe, for Ids wisdi rn to j permanent
direct us in the path of our duty, so as to enable us to pon-

It. therefore, may. in the progress of lime,
oes-ur that o -inimis entirely abstract in the States in which
they may prevail, .and in no degree affecting their domestic
institutions, tnay be artfully, but not secretly encouraged,
with a view to undermine l >e Union. Such opinions may
become the foundation of political patties, until, at lust, the
conflict ofopinit.it. producing ait alienation of friendly feel-
ing among the People of the different Slates, may involve,
in one general destruction, the happy institutions under
w hich we live. It should ever be borne in mind, that what
is true in recard to individuals is equally so in regard to
States. An interference of one in the affairs of another, is
tlie fruitful suurce t>f family dissensions and neighborhood
disputes; and the same cause affrets the peace, happiness,
anti prosperity of States. It may be boost devoutly hoped
that the good sense of the American People will over he
ready tn repel all such attempts, sliogjd they ever be made.
