advancement, and will Le limitless as mira
tion. Hence, a sound and comprehensive
policy should embrace, not less the distant
future than the urgent present.
The great objects of our pursuit, as a peo
ple, are be.-t to be attained by peace, and
are entirely consistent with the tranquility
and interests of the rest of mankind. With
the neighboring nations upon our continent,
we would cultivate kindly and fraternal re
lations. Wit can desire nothing in regard to
them so much as to see them consolidate
their strength and pursue the paths of pros
perity and happiness. If, in the course of
their growth, we .should open new chimin Is
of trade, and create additional facilities for
friendly intercourse, the benefits realized will
: equal and mutual. i'l the complicated
ui'opeali sv.-teiii of national polity we have
heretofore been independent. From their
wars, their tumults nud anxieties, we have
been, happily, almost entirely exempt.
Whilst the.-e are confined to the nations
which gave them existence, and within their
legitimate jurisdiction, they cannot alVectus,
excej t as they appeal to our sympathies in
the t '.gc of human freedom and universal
adv ancumeiit. lint the va.-t interests of com
merce are common to all mankind, and th.
advantages of trade and international inter
course must always present a noble lie-Id for
the mural influence of a great people.
With these views firmly and honestly car
ried out, we have a right to expect, and shall
under ail circumstances- require, prompt re
ciprocity. The rights which belong to us as
a nation are not alone to be regarded, but
tho-e which pertain to every citizen in his
individual capacity, at home and abroad,
mii-t be sacredly maintain!' .. Sj long as
he can di.-cern evory star in its place upon
thai ensign, without we;tlth to pun:ha?c for
li-'n preferment, or title to secure lor hi in
place, it wiil be his privilege, and mu t be
his acknowledged right, to stand umlashed
even iu the presence of princes, with a proud
i consciousness that he is himself one of a mil
! lion of sovereigns, and that he cannot, iule-,
: gitimate pursuits, wander so far from home
that the agent whom he shall leave behind,
in the place which 1 u .vv occupy, will not see
' that no rude baud of power or tyrannical
passion is laid upon him wiih impunity, lie
must realize that upon every sea and on ev
ery soil, where our enterprise may rightful
ly seek the protection of our flag, American
citizenship is ni. inviolable panoply for the
security of American rights. And , iu this
connexion, it can hardly be necessary to re
afhrm a principle which should now be re
garded as fundamental. The rights, steii
ritv, and repose of this Confederacy reject
the idea of interference or c .Ionization on
this side of the ocean by any foreign power!
beyond present jurisdiction as utterly inad-j
ini-sible.
The opportunities' of observation, furni-h-c
1 by my brief experience ai a soldier,
confirmed in n y mind the opinion, enter
tained and acted upon by others from the
for in at i ui of the (iovcrnment, that the main
tenance of large standing armies in our,
country would be not only dangerous, but
unnecessary. Thcv also iliustrated the im-
portance, 1 might well say the absolute
necessity, ot the military science and prac
tical skill furnished in such an eminent de
gree by the institution which has made your
army what it is, under the discipline and
in-truction of officers not more distinguish
ed for their solid attainments, gallantl y, and
devotion to the public service, than for un
obstrusivo bearing and high moral tone.
The army, as organized, must be the nu
cleus around which, in every time, of need,
the strength uf your military power, the
sure bulwark of your defence a national
militia may be readily formed into a well-lii-eii'lincd
and eliicieiit organization. And
the skill and self-devoiion of the navy as
sure you that you may take tlie pcrlormaiice
of the past as a pledge for the future, and
may confidently expect that the Hag, which
has waved its untarnished folds over every
sea, will still flout in undiminished honor.
Iiut these, like many other subjects, will be
appropriately brought, at a future time, to
th.: attention of co-ordinate branches of
the liovci'iimont, to which I shall always
look with profound rc-peet, and with trust
ful conlideiiee that they will accord to me
the aid and support which I shall so much
need, and which their expcriciice and wis

; the harmony and happiness of our people

- rights and obligation' under tho General
1 Government. And hi re, in in v opinion, are the
considerations which should firm the true
' ba.-is of future concord in regard to the
questions which have mo t seriously dis
turbed public tranquility. If the Federal
Government will confine itself to the cx-cn-isp

stitution, it can hardly happen that its action
upon any question should endanger the in
stitutions of the States, or interfere with
their right to manage

people.
' In cxprcs.-ing briefly my views upon an
important subject, which has recently agi
tated the nation to almost a fearful degree,
am moved by no other impulse than a mo.-t
can. iet desire for the perpetuation of that
nio:i which has made us what we are
showering upm us blessings, an 1 conferring
a power and influence which our fathers
could hardly have anticipated, even with
their nest sanguine hopes directed to a far
oil' future. The sentiments I now announce

From that radiant con-tellation, which both
