Attiong 'the resolutions Which it is my

posits, in your behalf and mine, to disavow.,
inAlte.tnest positive manner, any desire,l
on our part,. to acquire any foreign territo
ry whatever, for the purpose of introducing
sliverY into it. Ido not know t h at any
citizen of the United States entertains such
a Wish. Brit such a motive has often been I
itutned In the Slave States, and I there-I
fore iltinCit necessary to notice it on this
ocCitaion. 'NI!, opinions on the subject of I
slaverY arc well known. They hare the!
merit, if it be one. of consistency, uniform-I
duration. 1 have ever regard-
ettaravery'ste a great evil, a wrong, for the'
present, an irremediable wrong to its un-:
forttniate victims. I should rejoice if not!
a single slave breathed the air or was
withitt the limits of our country. But i
Itere they are, to be dealt with as well as
we can,, with a due consideration of all
ciititustatices,atfecting the security, safety.;
:toy', happiness of both races. Every I
Slate lies the supreme, uncontrolled and
exelusire power to decide for itself wheth
er plavery shall cease or continue within
its limits, without any exterior intervention
from soy quarter. In States, where the,
shiimi outnumber - the whites. as is the;
case with several, the e- -r - lacks mild noe,
be emancipated, and invested with all the I
right& of freemen, without becoming the)
governing rare in those States. Collisions.
andcuatlicts between the two races would
be inertial:do; and, afer shocking scene* of
carnage,, the extinction or ex
oulAi,tif the blacks would certainly take

ty
.7, 00 r0 kilm. F thonglit the proportion of
Marra, an einiparison with the whites,
was so inconsiderable that we might safe-
ly*adopt a syStem of gradual emancipation
that' wiluld ultimately eradicate this evil in 1
out Shire.” That system was totally diff-;
erthti Irani the immediate abolition of elav
ery- for which the party of the Abolitionists i
of the present day contend. Whether
they have intended or not, it is my calm',
and deliberate belief. that they hare done
inearMilafile mischief even to the very
cause wind' they espoused, to say nothin,'
of die discord which has been
.. produrea
between different parts of the Union. Ac
cording to the system we attempted, near
the close of the last century, all slaves in
being - were to remain such, but, all
who might be born subsequent to a cer
tain 'day, were to become free at the
age'of twenty4ight, and during their ser
vice: Were to be taught to read, write, and
cypher.. Thus. instead of being thrown
upon thit'etionutiity, ignorant and unpre
patet4 as would be the case by immediate
•entatietpathin, they would have entered up
on thepueseibion of their freedom,‘capa.

It is a philanthropic and consoling re
flection that die moral and physical condi
tion of the African race in the United
States, even in a state of slavery, is far
better than it would have been if their
!ancestor. had never been brought from
their native land. And if it should be the
. decree of the Great 'Ruler of the Universe
that their tbeseemlants shall be made instru
ments in His hands in the establishment
of Cirilirttion and the Christian Religion
throughout Attica. our regrets, on account
!of the original wrong, will be greatly mid
gated.
It may he argued that, in admitting the
injustice of slavery, I admit the •necessity
of instantaneous reparation of that injustice.
;'Unfortunately, however, it is not always
safe, practicable or possible, in the great
movements of States and public affairs of
nations, to remedy or repair the infliction
of previous injustice. In the inception of
it, we may oppose and denounce it, by pur
most strenuous exertions, but, after its con
summation, there is often no other alterna
alive left us but to deplore its perpetration,
and to acquiesce, as the only alternative, in
its existence. as a less evil than the frightful
i consequences which might ensue from the
, vain endeavor to repair it. Slavery is one
!of those unfortunate instances. The evil
' of it was inflicted upon us, by the parent
country of Great Britain against all the
' entreaties and remonstrances of the colo
nies. And here it is amongst and amidst
, us, and we must dispose of it as best we
-can ender the circumstances which intr.
round us. 'lt contmactl, by the imports
non of slaves from Atriel: in spite of colo
nial resistance , for a period of more than
! a century Ind a half, and it may require
an equal or longer lapse of time before our
country is entirely rid of thp evil. And in
the mealtime, modevation, prudence and
discretion among ourselves, and the bless-
One of Providence may be all necessary to
I accomplish our ulditate deliverance-treat
1 it. Examplei of similar infliction of irre
parable national evil and injustice might be
multiplied to so indefinite extent. The
` case of the annexation of Texas to the U.
&massif a- recent sod anobvioneows-wliialt,-
if it were wrong, cannot now be repaired.
, Texas is now an integral part dour Union,
1 with its own veluntay consent. Many
of us opposed the annexation with honest
zeal and most earnest exertions. But who
. would now think of perpetrating the fully
of casting Texas out of the confederacy
and throwing her back upon her indepen•
deuce. or into the arms of Mexico ! Who
,! would now seek to divorce her from this
I Union ! The Creeks and the Qherokee
i Indians were, by the most exceptionable
1 means, driven from their 'country., ,and
transported beyond the Mississippi river.-
;'''heir lands h ave - been fairly purchased
I and occupied by inhabitants of Georgia,
1 Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.--
Who could now conceive the flagrant in
justice of expelling those inhabitants and
restoring the Indian country to the Chero
kees and Creeks. under color of repairing
original injustice ! :During the waruf
revolution, millions of paper money were
issued by our ancestors as the only curren
cy with which they could achieve our lib
erties and independence. Thousands and
hundreds of thousands of families were
stripped of their homes' and their all and
brought to ruin, by giving credit and eon
* lidencc to that spurious currency. - - Stern
necessity has prevented the reparation of
' that great national injustice.

If I have been at all inieresafall in the ex
position of the views and opinions 1 enter
tain.l have shown,
Ist. That the present war *as brought
about by the annexation of Texas and the
subsequeut order of the President, without
the previous conseat and authority of Cod
-
gram.
2d. That the President being unenlight
ened and uninstructed, by any public de
claration of Congress. as to the objects for
,chirp it ought to be prosecuted. in die con
duct of it is. necessarily. left to his ow n
see of what the national intermit and
honor mac require.
3d. That the whole war making pow-,
er of the nation, as to motives, causes and
objects. is confided to the discretion and
judgement of Congress.
4th. That it is, therefiwe.-the. sight-of-
Congress. at the commencement or during
the progress of any war. to declare for
a hat objects and purposes the war ought
to be waged and prosecuted.
sth. That it is the right and duty of
Congress to announce to the nation for
what Objects the.present war shall be lon
ger continued; that it is the duty of the
President. in the exercise of all his official
functions:Su conform to and carry nut this
declared will of Congress, hv the exer
cise, if necessary, of all the high powers
with which hew clothed ; and that. if lie I
fail or refuse to do so. it becomes the im
perative duty of Congress to arrest the fur
ther progress of the war by the most ef
ketoal means within its power.
Let congteas announce to the nation
the ellees fix which this war shall be
pro Warted and imblic suspense and
public inequietede will no longer remain.
If it is to be a war of conquest of all, or
any part of Mexico. let the people know it
and they will be no longer agitated by a
dark and uncertain future. But, although I
. might have forborne to express any opinion
whatever as to purposes and objects for
' which the war should be continued, I have
not thought proper to conceal my opinions,
I whether worth any thing or not, from the
! public examination. Accordingly I have
stated,
6th. That it seems to me that it is the
duty of our country, as well on the score
of moderation and magnanimity, as with
the view of avoiding discord and discon-
I tent at home, to abstain from seeking to
conquer and annex to the United States,
! Mexico or any part of it; and, especially,
tto disabuse the public " din any quarter
of the Union of the impression, if it any
where exists, that a desire for conquest is
cherished fur the purpose of propagating
or extending slavery.
I have embodied, Mr. ('resident and fel
low citizens, the sentiments and opinions
which I have eudeavored to captain and
enforce in a series of resolutions, which I
now beg to submit to your consideration
and judgement. [The resolutions were
publuihed in the "'tar' of November 28.]

must stand aloof from all entangling alliances with

Whig men, and a distinctive Whig organization.
We look with suspicion upon those who counsel

American War, uttered the following noble senti
ments, which will apply as well to the rabbid ad
vocate. of War at this; day, as they did to the par,
tisane of Lord North in 1776. It seems that in
those days, as now, there were not wanting Servile
sycophants to crouch around the footstool of
Tower, and hiss "treason" at ever manly denun

by their royal masters:

pride and arrogance, calling for battles
which he is not to fight, contending for a
violent dominion wbwh he can never ex
ercise," &c. "If you and I find our talents
hot of the great ruling kind, our conduct at
least is conformable , to our faculties. No
man's life pays the forfeit of our rashness.
No desolate widow weeps teas of blood
over our ignorance. Efenipulous and sober
in a well-grounded distrust of ourselves,
we would keep in the port of peace and
security; and perhaps, in recommending
to others something of the same diffidence,
we should show ourselves more charitsble
to their welfare than injurious to their

LESSONS OF lIISTORY.-POLAND was,
not many generations buck, the bulwark
of Christendom against the dreaded ap
prorches of the followers of the False
Prophet. She . fell from her high estate
through the fierce dissensions exerted by
her Military caste, absurdly designated no
ble. and at last became the prey of three
surrounding Powers. They crushed and
divided her. How have they enjoyed
their spoil I Leut the terrible retribution
meted out to them through the agency of
Napoleon. and in part by the aid of Poland;
let the bloody fields of Polish strolglo for
independence; let the uneasiness, appre
hension, and expense still excited by the
unconquerable aversion of the Poles to the
destroyers of their national existence,
make answer.
Idle-,-worse than. idle,-calamitous—are
the efforts of nations to subvert or'overrun
the boundaries which 'would seem to be
fixed by a law far above the petty ambi
tions and agititiens of men. Fasmcit has
sent forth magnificent armies to conquer
and appropriate throughout the last five
centuries : she has sung her re Dewar for
the victories of her chivalry at Jerusalem,
Constantinople, the Pyramids ; among the
Alps, in Spain, in Italy, in Germay, Po
land, and at the gates of Mescow. Yet
her boundaries are now almost precisely
where they stood when she became a na
tion; they have often advanced, but a few
'years saw them recede again. Of all her
mighty efforts for conquest, a grinding na
tional debt is the only practical result
re
maining to her.
And do we know all this and never
think of profiting by it I What is kisto

TO PRACTISING PHYSICIANS.—Let me
impress upon conscientious physicians the impor
tance of a trial of the Brandretlis Pills. Let them
make only a Mr trial of them, and they will con•
cede the medicine - is the best esscuant of the bow
els hitherto discovered. The ingredients are all
prepared 'sprawly for the manufacture of the
Brandreth Pills, and it is impossible to obtain a
purgative of the same properties except from Dr.
11. Brandreth. Let physicians and the world at
large bear in mind that the Brandreth Pills may
he taken, if necessary, for any length of time dai
ly. not only without injury, hut with a certainty
of beneficial results.
This universal medicine mildly , but Surely
cleanses the whole extent of the alhoentary canal.
it then gives increased power to the enctdation of
she blood, by which it deposits any impurities it
may contain in the bowels, which organ expels
them from the body.
This action may continuo for days, weeks, or
inbtftha as the mildness or urgency 'of the disease
may demand. or - until the entire - body has been e•
scooted and re•made from the food consumed.
How important is it that persons of feeble frame,
of
.impure constitutions, should, without delay,
commence with this pure and wholesome medicine.
No time ought to be loin by using Lozenges or
Candies as medicines, which are better adapted
for the destruction of the teeth, than for the cure of
any disease. Experience has sufficiently tested
that these remedies contain invariably calomel and
other active a-honked agents that have a very de
structive effect, of which there Ire too many indi
vidually convinced to their cost.
The testimony• in favor of the Brandreth pills,
and the numb,* who are daily raised from a bed
..of misery by their use, render it imperative that all
