Other country, and all our rfreat interests are

In reviewing the great events of the past
year, and contrasting the agitated and disturbed
state of other countries with our own tranquil
and happy condition, we may congratulate our
selves that we are the most favored people on
the face of the earth. While the people of
other countries are struggling to establish free
institutions, under which man may govern him
self, we a reHn the actual enjoyment of them
a rich inheritance from our fathers. While en
lightened nations of Europe are convulsed and
distracted by civil war or intestine strife, we
fpftje all our political controversies by the
peaceful exercise of the rights of freemen at the
ballot box. The great republican maxim so'
deeply engraven on the hearts of our people,
that the will of the majority constitutionally ex

all professions and pursuits : of farmers, law.

the officers, but the private soldiers in the ranks.
Our citizen-soldiers aro unlike those of any
other country in other respects. They are arm

up to handle and use fire-arms ; and a large
proportion of them, especially in the western
and more newly settled States, are expert marks.

- The great results which have been develop

immeasurable importance in the future progress
of our country. They will tend powerfully to
preserve us from foreign collisions, and to ena.

policy of peace with all nations, eulangling
alliances with none."
Occupying, as we do, a more commanding
position among nations than at any former pe

selves and to posterity are correspondingly in

we consider the vast additions which have been

happiness. I am happy to inform you that our
relations with all nations are friendly and pa
citfe. Advantageous treaties of commerce have
been concluded within the last four years twith
New Grenada, Peru, the two Sicilies, Belgium,
I)tnorer,Oldenburg, and Mecklenburg SchxVer

tomer, hts been relaxed; a more liberal com
mercial policy bas been adopted by other en
lightened nations, and our trade has been great
ly enlarged and extended. Our country stands
higher in the respect of the world than at any
former period. To continue to occupy this
proud position, it is only necessary to preserve
Jtetco, and faithfully adhere to the great and
uhdamentft! principles of our foreign policy, of
lion. interference in the domestic concerns of
other nations. We recognize in all nations the
lights which we enjoy ourse!ves to change and
reform their pojjtjcji) institutions according to
their own will and pleasure. Hence we do not
look behind existing governments, capable of
maintaining their own. authority. We recog.
fttze all such actual governments, not only from
the dictates of true policy, but from a sacred re
gard for the independence of nations.
While this is our settled policy, it does not
follow that we can be iudilTererit spectators of
the progress of liberal principles. The govern

they do, a central and commanding position in

confederated government, securing at the same
lime to the citizens of each Slate, local govern

ed States to Mexico has been received and ac

(Mexico of eimilar rank has been received and
accredited by this government. ; The amicable
relations between the two countries wrhich has
been suspended have been happily restored, and
are destined, I Irust, lo be long preserved. The
two republics, both situated on this continent,
and vvith coterminous territories, have every
motive of sympathy and of interest lo bind them
together in perpetual amity.
This gratifying condition of our foreign tela
lions renders it unnecessary to call your alien

It has been ; my constant aim and desire to
cultivate peae and commerce with all nations.
Tranquility at hihe, and HMceful relations a

our country. War, the scourge ofnations, some
times become inevitable, but is always to be
avoided when it can be done consistently with

make it efficient, the commendation to which
they are entitled. The credit due to this class
of our officers is the greater, when it is consid
ered that no army in ancient or modern times
was ever better appointed or provided than our
army in Mexico. Operating in an enemy's
country, removed two thousand miles from the
seat of federal government, its HiifTereut corps
spiead over a vast extent of territory, hundreds
and even thousands of miles apart from each
other, nothing short of the untiring vigilance
and extraordinary energy of these officers could
have enabled them to provide the army at all
points, and in proper season with all that was
required for the most efficient service.
it is but an act of justice lo declare, lhat the
officers in charge of the several executive bu
reaus, all under the immediate eye and super
vision of the Secretary of War, performed their
respective duties with ability, energy, and effi
ciency. They have reaped less of the glory of
the war not having been personally exposed to
its perils in battle, than their companions in
arms ; but without their forecast, efficient aid,
and co-operation, those in the field would not
have been provided with the ample means
they possessed of achieving for themselves and
their country the unfading honors which they
have won for both.
When all these facts are considered, it may
cease to be a matter of so much amazement
abroad bow it happened that our noble army in
Mexico, regulars and volunteers, were victo.
rious upon every battle-field, however fearful
the odds against them.
The war with Mexico has thus fully devel
oped the capacity of republican governments to
prosecute successfully a just and necessary for
eign war with all the vigor usually attributed
to more arbitrary forms of government. It has
been usual for writers on public law to impute
lo republics a want of that unity, concentration
of put pose, and vigor of execution, which are
generally admitted lo belong to the monarchi
cal and aristocratic forms ; and this feature of
popular government has been supposed lo di&T
play itself more particularly in the conduct of a
war carried on in an enemy's territory. The
war with Ureal liritam, irr 1812, was to a great
say,
but it will be dealt out in
doses." This plan will suit us best,
and will, probably, be more agreeable to
the reader.

ing Oregon, nearly as great an extent of terri
tory as the whole of Europe, Russia only ex
cepted.. The Mississippi, so lately the frontier
of our country, is now only its entre. With
the addition of the late acquisitions, the United
States are now estimated lo be nearly as large
as the whole of Europe. It is estimated by the
superintendent of the coast survey, in the ac
corapanying report, that the extent of the sea
coast of Texas on the Gulf of Mexico is up
wards of four hundred miles ; of the coast of
Upper California, on the Pacific, of nine hun
dred and seventy miles ; and of Oregon includ
ing the Straits of Fuca, of six hundred and fifty
miles ; making the whole extent of seacoast on
the Pacific one thousand six hundred and twen
ty miles, and the whole extent on both the Pa
cific and the Gulf of Mexico two thousand and
twenty miles. The length of the coast on the
Atlantic from the northern limits of the United
States, around the Capes of Florida to' the Sa
bine, on the eastern boundary of Texas, is es
timated to be three thousand Oi.e hundred miles;
so that the addition of seacoast, including Ore.
gon, is very nearly two-thirds as great as all
we possessed before ; and excluding Oregon,
is an addition of one thousand three hundred
and sei-enty miles ; being nearly equal to one
half of the extent of coast which we possessed
before these acquisitions. We have now three
great maritime fronts on the Atlantic, the Gulf
of Mexico, and the Pacific malting in the
whole an extent of seacoast exceeding five
thousand miles. This is the extent of the sea
coast of the United States, not including bays,
sounds, and small irregularities of the main
shore, and of the sea islands. If these be in-

coast, could not long have remained in the

Mississippi must have sought a market through
these streams, running into and through our
territory ; ad the danger of irritation and 'col

State and ourselves would have been imminent,
