Great Britain; and British ships, manned by British subjects, and prepared for receiving British armaments, sallied from the ports of Great Britain to make war on American commerce, under the shelter of a commis sion from the insurgent States. These ships having once escaped from British ports, ev er afterwards entered them in every part of the world, to refit, and so to renew their de- Sredations. The consequences of this con uctwere most disastrous to the States then in rebellion, increasing their. desolation and misery by the prolongation of our civil con test It had, moreover, the effect, to a great extent, to drive the American flag from Uie sea. and to transfer much of our shipping and our commerce to the.very Power whose subjects had created the necessity for such a change. These events took place before I was called to the administration of the Gov ernment, The sincere desire for peace by which I am animated led me to approve the proposal, already made, to submit the ques tions which had thus arisen between the countries to arbitrations. These questions are of such moment that they must have j commanded the attention of the great Pow ers, and are so interwoven with the jieace and interests of every one of them as to have ensured an impartial derision. 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 to settle mutual claims between the two coun j tries, from which those for the depredations before mentioned should be excluded. The proposition, in that very unsatisfactory form nas been declined. The United States did not present the sub ject as an impeachment of the good faith ot a Power which was professiugthe most friend ly dispositions, but as involving questions of public law, of which the settlement is essen tial to the peace of nations; and. though pe cuniary reparation to their injured citizens would have followed incidentally on a deci sion against Great Britain, such compensa tion was not their primary object. They had a higher motive, and it was in the interests of peace and justice to establish important prin ciples of international law. The correspon dence will be placed before you. The ground on which the British Minister rests his justifi cation is, substantially, that the municipal law of a nation, and ;he domestic interpreta tion of that law, are the measure of its duty as a neutral: and I feel bound to declare my opinion, before you and 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, friend ship between the two countries must rest on the basis of mutual justice. From the moment the establishment of our free Constitution, tho civilized world has been convulsed by revolutions to the interests of democracy or of monarchy; bat through all those revolutions the United States have wise ly and firmly refused to become propagandists of republicanism. It is the only government suited to our condition; but we have never sought to impose it on others; and we have cousistly followed the advice of Washington to recommend it enly by the careful preser vation and prudent use of the blessing. Dur ing all the intervening period the policy of European Powers, and of the United States, has, on the whole been harmonious. Twice, indeed, rumors of the invasion of some parts of America, in the interest of monarchy, have prevailed; twice my predecessors have had occasion to announce the views of this nation in respect to such interference. On both oc casions the remonstrance of the United States was respected, from a deep conviction, on the part of Uuropean Governments, that the sys tem of non-interference and mutual absti nence from propagandises 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 na tions of Europe to choose their own dynasties acd form their own systems of government. This consistent moderation may justly demand a corresponding moderation. We should re gard it as a great calamity to ourselves, to the cause of good government, and to the peace of the world, should any European power challenge the American people, as it were, to the defence of republicanism against foreign interference. We cannot foresee and are un willing to consider what opportunities might present themselves, what combinations might offer to protect ourselves against designs in imical to our form of government. The Uni ted States desire to act in the future as they have ever acted heretofore; they never will be driven from that course but by the aggres sion of European Powers; and we rely on the wisdom and justice ot those Powers to res pect the system of non-interference which has so long been sanctioned by time, and which, by its good results, has approved itself to both continents. The correspondence between the United States and France, in referrence to questions which have become subjects of discussions be tween the two Governments, will, at a proper time, be laid before Congress. When, on the organization of our Govern ment, under the Constitution, the President of the United States delivered his inaugural address to the two Houses of Congress, he said to them, and through them to the coun try and to mankind, that "the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are just ly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked on the experiment intrusted to the American people." And the House of Rep resentatives answered Washington by the voice of Madison: "We adore the invisable hand which has led the American people, through so many difficulties to cherish a con scious responsibility for the destiny of repub lican liberty." More than seventy-six years have glided away since these words were spo ken; the United States have passed through severer trials than were foreseen; and now, at this epoch in our existence as one nation, with our Union purified by sorrows and strengthened by conflict, and established by the virtue of the people, the greatness of the occasion invites us once more to repeat, with solemnity, the pledges of our fathers to hold ourselves answerable before our fellow-men for the success of the republican form of Gov ernment. Experience has proved its suffi ciency 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 in the heart of the people. At the inauguration of Washington, the for eign relations of the country were few, and its trade repressed by hostile regulations; now all the civilized nations of the globe welcome our commerce, and their Governments pro fess 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, and with historic tra ditions extending over very few years: now intercourse between the States is swift and iatimate: the experience of centuries has been crowded into a tew generations, and has crea ted an intense, indestructible nationality. Then our jurisdiction did not reach beyond the in convenient boundaries of the territory which had achieved independence; now, through cessions of lands, first colonized by Spain and France, the country has acquired a more complex character, and has for its natu ral limits the chain of Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico, and on the eastand west the two great oceans. Other nations were wasted by civil wars for ages before they could establish lor themselves the necessary degrees of unity; the latent couviction that our form of government is the best ever knowmto the world, has ena bled us to emerge from civil war within four years ; with a complete vindication of the con stitutional authority of the General Govern ment, and with our local liderties and State institutions unimpaired. The throngs of em igrants that crowa to our shores are witnesses of the confidence of all peoples in our perma nence. Here is the great land of free labor, where industry is blessed with unexampled rewards, and the bread of the workingman is sweetened by the consciousness that 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 activity as a natural right. Here, under the combined iuflueuce of a fruitful soil, genial climes, and happy institutions, population has increased fifteen fold within a ' century. Here, through the easy develop ment of boundless resources, wealth has in creased with two-fold greater rapidity than numbers, so that, we have become secure 1 against the fiuanctal vicissitudes of other countries, and, alike in business and in opin ion, are self-centered and truly independent. Here more and more care is given to provide education for every one born on our soil. Here, religion, released from political connec tion with the civil government, refuses to subserve the craft of statesmen, and becomes, in its independence, the spiritual life of the people. &ere toleration is extended to eve ry opinion, in the quiet certainty that truth needs only a fair field to secure the victory. Here the human mind goes forth unshaken in the pursuit of science, to collect stores of knowledge and acquire an ever increasing mastery over the forces of nature. Here the national domain is offered and held in mil lions of separate freeholds, so that our fellaw citizens, beyond the occupants of any other part of the earth, constitute in reality a peo ple. Here exists the democratic form of gov ernment; and that form of government, by the confession of European statesmen, "gives power of which no other form is capable be cause it incorporates every man with the State, and arouses every thing that belongs to the soul." , ~ . Where, in past history, does a parallel ex ist to the public happiness which is within the roach of the people of the United States? Where, in any part of the globe, can institu tions be found so suited to their habits or so entitled to their love as their own free Con stitution? Every one of them, then, in what ever part ot the land he has a home, must , wish its perpetuity. Who of them will not 1 now acknowledge the words of Washington, that "every step by which the people of the Uuited States have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by seme token of Providential agency?" Who will not join with me in ihe prayer, that the invisible hand which has led us through the clouds that ..gloomed around our path, will so guide us onward to a perfect restoration #f fraternal affection, that we of this day may be able to transmit our great in heritance of State Government in all their rights, of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor, to our posterity, and they to theirs through countless generations?
