fruit of such a plan would richly
fepay any, temporary advantage which
might be -lost by a steady adherence
to it? Can it be that rovidence has
not jtonnected the permanent felicity
of a nation with Its virtue? The ex

by every sentiment which ennobles
human nature. Alas! is it rendered
impossible by its vices?.
In the execution of such a plan
nothing more essential than that
permanent, inveterate antipathies

good faith. Here let us stop.
Europe has a set of primary inter

engaged in frequent controversies, the
causes of which are essentially for

when we may choose peace or war,
as our interest, guided by justice,
shall counsel.
Why forego the advantages of so
peculiar a situation? Why quit our
own to stand upon foreign ground.
Why, by interweaving our destiny
with that of any part of Europe, en
tangle our peace and prosperiey In the
toils of European ambition, rivalship,
interest, humor, or caprice?
It is our true policy, to, steer clear
of permanent alliances , with any
portion of, the foreign world., so, far,
mean, as. we are now at liberty to
do it; for let me not beunderstood
as capable of patronizing Infidelity to
existing engagements. I hold the
maxim no less applicable t public
than to private affairs that .honesty
is the best policy. I repeat therefore
let those engaejnents; be observed In
tneir genuine sense. But in my op
inion it is unnecessary and would be
unwise to extend them.
Taking care always to keep our
selves by suitable establishments on
a respectable defensive posture, we

In offering to you, countrymen, these
counsels of an old and affection
friend I dare not hopqf they will make
the strong and lasting impression
could wish that they will control the
usual current o the passions or pre
vent our nation from running the
course which has hitherto marked
the destiny of nations But if I may
even flatter myself that they may be
productive of some partial benefit,
some partial benefit, some occasional
good that they may now and then
recur to moderate the fury of party
spirit, to warn against the mischiefs
of foreign intrigate, to guard against
the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to
guard against the impostures of pre
tended patriotism this hope will be
a full recompense for the solicitude
for your welfare by which they have
been dictated.
How far in the discharge of my
official duties I have been guided by
the principles which have been de
lineated the public records and other
evidences of my conduct must mit
ness to you and to the world. To
fmyself, the assurance of my own
conscience is that I have at least be
lieved myself to be guided by them.
In relation to the still subsisting
was in Europe my proclamation of the
22 of April, 1793 is the index of my
plan. Sanctioned by your approving
voice and by that of your repre
sentatives in both Houses of Con
gres, the spirit of that measure has
continually governed me, uninfluenc
ed by any attempts to deter or divert
me from it.
After deliberate examination, with
the aid of the best lights I could ob
tain, I was well satisfied that our
country, under all the circumstances
of the case, had a right to take, and
was Dound m duty ahd interest to
take la neutral position. Having tak
en it, I determined as far as should
depend upon me to maintain it with
mederation. perseverance, and firm
ness.
Thex considerations which . respect
the right to hold this counduct It is
not necessary on this occasion to de
tail. 1 will only observe that, accord
ing to my understanding of the mat
ter, that right, so far from being de-J
nled by any belligerent powers, has
been virtually admlted by all. :
The duty of holding a neutral con
duct may be inferred, without anj
thing more, from the obligation
which justice and humanity impose
on every nation, in cases- in which
it is free to act,, to maintain invio
late the relations of peace and amity
toward other nations.
The Inducement of interest for ob
serving that conduct will be referred
to your own reflections and exper
ience. With me a predominant motive
has been to endeavor to gain time
