October 8,---Last night we had an eccen-

the orchestra, which is really a very fine

They stem

and rapped, as if they would

imilU the orcl tra heeded not. At length
the bell rang and the curtain went up, The

Wince of nearly three fourths of a century
at airee and ~iiidependent Republic. the
problem, an longer remains; to bey-oulied
whether man is capable of.self-premment.
Tice success of our admirable ryetein is a
complete refutation of the theories of shoal
in, other countries who maintain — that a fa-
voted few are born to ride, and thee the
mass of mankind must be governed byrfurce.
Subject to no no arbitrary or hereditary au
thority, the people ! are the only sovereigns
recognized by our,constitution. Nutnerous
emigrants of every lineage and language,
attracted by the civil and religious freedom
we enjoy, and by our happy condition, an
nually crowd to our ;shore', and transfer
their heart not less than•tieeir allegiance, to
the tiouutry whose dominion - heloisgs alone
•
to the s people.
Dlo country has been so much favored, or
should acknowledge with deeper reverence
the manifestations of Divine protection. An
ell-wise Creator directed and guided us in
bur infant struggle for freedom, and .has
constantly watched over our surprising pro
gress, until we have become one of the great
patious of the earth.
It is in a country thus favored, and under
a government in whicllrthe executive and
legislative branches hold their authority for
limited periods,'nlike from the• people, and
where all are responsible to their respective
constituentcies, that it is again my duty to
communicate with Congress upon the state
of the Union, and the present condition of
pblic affairs.
Iburing the past year the most gratifyi g
proofs are presented that our country
been blessed with a wide spread and uaiv
sal prosperity. There has been no pe
since the government was-founded, when
he industrial ,pursuits of our people h
been more successful, or when labor in
its branches of business has received•a f
with the
Doodle
.er or. better reward. Front Our abunda
we have been enabled to per(Orm the ple s
ing duty of furnishing food to the starving
millions of less favored countries
It the - enjoyment of the bounties of Prov
idence at home, such as have rarely fallen
to the lot of any people, it is cause of con-
gratulation, that our intercourse with all the
powers of the earth, except rico, condo
nes to be of au amicable eh& cter.
It has ever been our cheris ed policy to
cultivate pence and good wi with all na
tions; and this policy battle steadily par
sued by. me. ,
No change has taken place in our rela
tions with "Utica since the adjouratuent of
the last Congress. The WV—in which the
United States , were forced to engage with
the government of that country, still.contin
.
I ues.
I deem it unnecessary, after the full ex
position of them contained in my message
of the 11th May, 1846, and in my -annual
inessape at the commencement of the ses
sion of Congress in December last, to reit
erate the serious causesof complaint we had
against Mexico before she commenced hos
tilities.
It is sufficient on the present occasion to
say, that the canton violation of the rights
of person until property of our citizens com-
Mined I,)Y MCzico, her repeated acts of had
faith through , / a long series of yeas, anther
disregard ut folemn treaties, stipulating for
indemnifying;to our injured citizens, not on-
ly coustitutidi l ample cause of war on our
part, but wer e. of such nn aggravated char
acter as woidd'haire justified us before the
world in rearming to this extreme remedy.,
With an anxious desire to avoid a ruFiihre
between the two,countpes, we forbore fur
years to exercise our , clear rights by glee,
and contiticied
. to seek redress from the
wrongs we 'had itiffereil by amicable nego
tiation, in the hope that Mexico might yield
to the pacific conned, and the demands of
justice. In lbilfhope 'we were disappointed.
Our Minister of peace sent 'to Mexico was
insultingly rejected. The Mexican goeern-
Mem even refuted to hear the terms of ad
justmentirhich he was authorized to pro
pose; nnfi finally, under :wholly unjustifia
ble preteita, involved the two countries in
war, by invading the territory of the State
of Texas, striking the first blow, end
shed
ding the blood of our citizens ou our own
soil. •
- Though . the United States were the ag
grieved nation, Mexico commenced the war,
and we were cinispelleil, in self-defence; to
repel - the invader, and to vindicate the mi
dmost honer and interests by prosecuting it
with vigor, until we ,eould obtain a just and
honorable peace.- •
