e It has been the. Uniform policy Of this goy
' anima from its foundation to the present
- riay, to abstain faint all interference in the 'do
mestic affairs of other - nations. The cense
' quenie has been that the 'nations of Eu
rope have been engsged in desolating wari,our
country has pursued its peaceful course to un
-eatiipted prosperity'and bappines. The wars
in which we have been compelled to eng,Uo,
in defence of the rights and honor of the coun
n, have been fortunately of
. short duratien.
'7During the terrific contest of nation against na
-: tion, which succeeded "the French revolution,
we were enabled by the wisdom
-and firmness
of.President:Wishyigton to inairitairi„our tieu
%ratty. _ '
- •
' _While other nations were drawn into this
„ wide sweeping whirlpool,wri sat quiet and un
moved upon our own shores. While the flow:.
er of ,their. armies was wasted bv diSease or
pen s shed'by hundreds of thousands npoii the
'battle field,the vouth - Of this'favored land were
permitted to enjoy the - blessings of peace
'math the paternal roof. -While the &steel of
Europe incurred enormous debts, undere
burden of which their subjeets still groan, tod
whieb must absorb ari smillpart of the Pte.
duet of the honest industry of those countries
for generations to come,the United Statesl4ve
once been enabled to exhibit the. proud spec
tacle of a nation free from public debt; and, if
permitted fir pursue our prosperous ivny for a
few yearsilonger in peace,we may do the same
again.
But it' is now said by some that this policy
must bechanged.- Europe is no longer separa
ted from us by a voyage of months, but steam
•naviption has brought her within a few days
sail, of our shores. We see more of her Move
mezits,'and'take a deeper interest in her con
troversies. Although no one proposes that we
should join the fraternity of potentates ,who
have for ages lavished the blood and treasure
of their subjects in maintaining 'the balance of
Power, yet it is said that we ought to interfere '
between contending sovereig,ns and their, sub
jects,for the purpose of overthrowing thetnon
tirchies :of Europe and establishing ~ in their
',lace 'republican institutions. It is • alleged
that we have heretofore pursued a different
course from a sense of our weakness;hut that
,
DOW our conscious strengtha dictates change
of policy, and thatit is consequently. ciiir 'duty
to mingle in these contestsand aid those who
are struggling for liberty. •
.!
This is a most seductive but dangerous op.'
Eeal to the generous sympathies of freemen.
njoying as we do the blessings of a free gov
ernment, there is no man who has an Amen:l
can heart that would not • rejoice to see these
• blessings extended to all other nations. We
cannot witness the 103=1o : between - the op.
pressed and tho oppressor anywhere without
the deepest sympathy for the former, and the
most anxious desire for his triumph. plever
theless, is it prudent er is it wise to involve
ourselves in these. foreig,ri wars? Is it true
that we have heretofore refrained• from•doing
so merely from the degrading motive of a con
scions weakness. For the honor of the patri
ots who have gone before' us, I cannot admit
it. Men df the Revolution who drew the
sword against the oppression of •the mother
country, and - .pledged Jo Heaven their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor' to main
tain their freedom, could never have been ac
tested by so unworthy a motive. They knew
no weakness or fear where right or duty point
ed the way, and it is a libel upon their fame
for us, while we enjoy the blessing,s for Which
they so nobly fought and bled, to insinuate it.
The truth is that the course which they Pei.-
sued was dictated by a stern, sense of interna
tional justice, by a statesmanlike prudence Cud
a far seeing wisdom, looking not merely to
the present necessities Ant to the permanent
safety and interest of the country. They knew
that the world is governed less by sympathy
than by reason and_force; that it was not pas ;
sible fur this nation tobecome a 'propagandist
of free principles without arraying against it
the combined powers of Europe; and that re-
cult was more likely to be the overthrow of
republican liberty hero than its establishinent I
there. History has been written in vain for
, those who 'can doubt this., Franca -had' no
sooner established a republican form of gov.
ornment than she manifested a desin3 to force
its blessings on all the world. Her own'his
torkn informs us that, hearing of some petty
acts of tyranny in a neighboring _principality.'
.The National Convention declared that
would afford succor and fraternity to all na-i
tions who wished to recover their liberty; and
sic gave it charge to, the, executive power
to give orders to the genorals of the French
armies to aid all citizens , who'might have been
or should he oppressed in the cause of liberty:,
Here was the false step which led taher sub
- sequent misfortunes. 'Sbe,soon found herself
involved in war with - all the rest of Europe- In
. less than, ten years her government was dung,.
ekfrout a republic to an empire ;.rtrfinally,
after... Shedding rivers of blood, foreign powers
restored her exiled' dynasty,and exhausted. Ell.
rope sought peace and repose in the tinques
timed ascendency of monarchial principles.--

his resignation went into effect, Mr. Clay de
eeased,and the Governor of Kentucky nppuint
ed Mr. Meriwether to suppiythe immediate
vacancy thus made. Had Mr. Clay liVed no
question would have arisen as to Mr. Dixon's
title to the sott;• but now some of. the Demo
crats maintain - that the death of Mr. Clay ren
dered his prospective resignation null and void
and that Mr. Meriwether, has been duly ap
pointed by the Governor to occupY the seat,

visions of "the .Constitution, until the Legisla.:
