Con. FAREWELL ADDRESS Of Andrew Jackson io the People of the United IStates. Fellow citizens: Being about to retire finally from public life, I beg leave to offer you my grate- ful thanks for the many proofs of deepest emotions of gratitude that I acknowledge the continued and unbroken confidence with which you have sustained me in every trial. My public life has been a long one, and I cannot hope that it has, at all times, been free from errors. But 1 have the consola tion of knowing that, if mistakes have been committed, they have not seriously injured the country I so anxiously endeavored to serve; and, at the moment when I surrender my last public trust, 1 leave this great people prosperous and happy; in the full enjoyment of liberty and peace; and honored and respected by every nation of the world. If my bumble efforts have, in any degree, contributed to pre- .i . ' OUYC lo yUU mese uK"!iiiLrs, have been more than rewarded by the honors you have heaped upon me; and, above all, by the gene rous confidence with, which you have continued to animate and cheer my path to the closing hour of my political life. The time has now come, when advanced age and a broken frame warn me to retire from public concerns, but the recollection of the many favors you have bestowed upon me is en graven upon my heart, and I have felt that I could not part from your service without making this public acknowledgment of ihe gratitude I owe you. And if I use the occasion to offer to you the counsels of age and experience, you will, 1 trust, receive them with the same indulgent kindness which you have so often extended to me; and will, at least, see in them an earnest desire to perpetuate, in this favored land, the blessings of liberty and equal laws. We have now lived almost fifty vears under the Constitution fra med by the sages and patriots of the iievolution. 1 he conflicts in which the nations of Europe were engaged during a great part of this period; the spirit in which they waged war against each oth er; and our intimate commercial connexions with every part of the civilized world, rendered it a time of much difficulty for the Govern ment of the United States. We have had our seasons of peace and of war, with all the evils which precede or follow a state of hosti lity with powerful nations. We encountered these trials with our Constitution yet in its infancy, and under the disadvantages which a new and untried Govern ment must always feel when it is called upon to put forth its whole strength, without the lights of ex perience to guide it, or the weight of precedents to justify its mea sures. But we have passed tri umphantly through all these diffi culties. Our Constitution is no longer a doubtful experiment; and, at the end of nearly half a century, we find that it bus pre served unimpaired the liberties of the people, secured the rights of properly, and that our country has improved and is flourishing beyond any former example in the history of nations. In our domestic concerns there is every thing to encourage us; and if you are true to yourselves, nothing can impede your march to the highest point of national prosperity. The States which had so long been retarded in their improvement, by the Indian tribes residing in the midst of them, are at length relieved from the evil; and this unhappy race the origi nal dwellers in our land are now placed in a situation where we may well hope that they will share in the blessings of civilization, and be saved Irom that degradation and destruction to which they were rapidly hastening while they remained in the States; and while the safety and comfort of our own citizens have been greatly promo ted by their removal, the philan thropist will rejoice that the rem nant of that ill-fated race has been at length placed beyond the reach of injury or oppression, and that the paternal care of the General Government will hereafter watch over them and protect them. If we turn to our relations with foreign Powers, we find our con dition equally gratifying. Actu ated by the sincere desire to do justice to every nation, and to preserve the blessings of peace, our intercourse with them has been conducted on -he part of this Government in the spirit of frank ness, and I take pleasure in say ing, that it has generally been met in a corresponding temper. Dif ficulties of old standing have been surmounted by friendly discus sion, and the mutual desire to be just; and the claims of our citi zens, which had been long with held, have at length been acknow ledged and adjusted, and satisfac tory arrangements made for their final payment; and with a limited, and, I trust, a temporary excep tion, our relations with every for eign Power are now of the most friendly character our commerce continually-expanding, and our flag respected in every quarter of the world. These cheering and grateful prospects, and these multiplied fa vors, we owe, uuder Providence, to the adoption of die Federa Constitution- It is no longer a question whether this great c'oun- try can remain uappuy uuncu, and flourish under our present form of government. Experience, the unerring lest of all human un dertaking, has shown ihe wisdom and foresight of those who formed it; and has proved, that in the U nion of these States there is a sure foundation for the brightest hopes of freedom, and for the happiness of the people. At every hazard, and by every sacrifice, this Union must be preserved. The necessity of watching wilh jealous anxiety for the preserva tion ot the Union, was earnestly pressed upon his fellow citizens by the Father of his country, in his farewell address. He has there told us, that "while experience shall not have demonstrated its impracticability, there will always be reason to distrust the patriot ism of those who, in any quarter, may endeavor lo weaken its bonds;" and he has cautioned us, in the strongest terms, against that formation of parties, on ideogra phical discriminations, as one of the means which might disturb our union, and to which designing men would be likely to resort The lessons contained in this invaluable legacy of Washington to his countrymen, should be che rished in the heart ofevery citizen to the latest generation; and, per haps at no period of time could they be more usefully remember ed than at the present moment For when we look upon the scenes that are passing around us, and dwell upon the pages of his part ing address, his paternal counsels would seem to be not merely the offspring of wisdom and foresight. j but the voice of prophecy furetell j ing events and warning us of the evil to come. Forty years have passed since this imperishable do cument was given lo his country men. The Federal Constitution was then regarded by him as an experiment, and he so speaks of it in his address, but an experiment upon the success of which the best hopes of the country depended, and we all know that he was pre pared to lay down his life, if ne cessary, to secure to it a full and a fair trial. The trial has been made. It has succeeded beyond the proudest hopes of those who framed it. Every quarter of this j widely extended nation has felt its blessings, and shared m the gene ral prosperity produced by its a- doption., But amid this general prosperity and splendid success, tne dangers ol which he warned us are becoming every day more evident, and the signs of evil are sufficiently apparent to awa ken the deepest anxiety in the bosom of the patriot. We behold systematic efforts publicly made to sow the seeds of dicord between different parts of the Uni ted States, and to place parly di visions directly upon geographical distinctions; to excite the south a gainst the north, and the north a gainst the south, and lo force into the controversy the most delicate and exciting topics; topics upon which it is impossible that a lare I portion of ihe Union cau ever speak without strong emotion. Appeals, loo, are constantly made to sectional interests, in order to influence the election of the Chief Magistrate, as if it were desired that he should favor a particular quarter of ihe country, instead of luihlling the duties of his station with .impartial justice to all; and Ihe possible dissolution of the U nion has at length become an or dinary and familiar subject of dis cussion. Has the warning voice of Washington been forgotten? or have designs already been formed lo sever the Union? Let it not be supposed that I impute to all of those who have taken an active part in these unwise and unprofit able discussions, a want of patriot ism or of public virtue. The honorable feeling of State pride, and local attachments, find a place in the bosoms of the most enlight ened and pure. But while sucfi men are conscious of their own integrity and honesty of purpose, they ought never to forget that the citizens of other States are their 1 : political brethren; ana mat, nu- i . i .... ever mistaken they may be: m their views, ihe great body oi them are equally honest and up right with themselves. Mutual suspicions and reproaches may in time create mutual hostility, and artful and designing men will al ways be found, who are ready to foment these, fatal divisions, and to inflame the natural jealousies of different sections of the country The history of the world is full of such examples, and especially the history of republics. What have you to gain by divi- si on mid dissenlion? Delude not yourselves with the belief lhat a breach once made may be after wards repaired. If the Union is once severed, the Tine of separa tion will grow wider and wider, nnd the controversies wliicn are now debated and settled in the halls of legislation, will then be tried in fields of battle, and deter mined by the sword. Neither should you deceive yourselves wilh the hope, that the first line of separation would be the perma nent one, and that nothing but harmony and concord would be found in the new associations for med upon the dissolution of this Union. Local interests would still be found there, and tinchas tened ambition. And if the re collection of common dangers, in which the people of these United Slates stood side by side against the common foe; the memory of victories won by their united val or; the prosperity and happiness they have enjoyed under the pre sent Constitution; the proud name they bear as citizens of this great republic: if all these recollections and proofs of common interest are not strong enough to bind u to gether as one people, what lie will t 1 ,t :.. .f- . ... r mull milieu ine new divisions oi empire, when these bonds haveiim. var old Col's.

There is too much at stake lo allow pride or passion to influence your decision. Never for a mo ment believe that the great body of the citizens of any State or States can deliberately intend to do wrong. They may, under the influence of temporary excitement or misguided opinions, commit mistakes; they may be misled for a time by the suggestions of self interest; but in a community so enlightened and patriotic as the people of the United Slates,argu ment will soon make them sensi ble of their erroiS! and tlion convinced, they will be readv m V eaay IO repair them.
