The whole territorial question being thus
settled upon the principle of popular sovereign-
ty-r-a principle as ancient as free government
itself everything' of a practical nature has
been5 decided. No other question remains for
adjustment; because all agree that under the
constitution, slavery in the States is beyond
as much as may be, for actual settlers, and this
at moderate prices. We shall thus not only
best promote the prosperity of the new States
and Territories by furnishing them a hardy
and independent race of honest and industrious
citizens but shall secure homes for our children
and our children's children, as well as for those
exiles from foreign shores who may seek in this

itation on this subject is approaching its end,
and that the geographical parties to which it
has given birth bo much dreaded by the Father
ui ma uuuiry, win speeaiiy become extinct:
Moshappy will it be for the country when the
public mind shall be diverted from this question
to others of more pressing and practical impor
tance. , Throughout thewhole progress of this
agitation, which has scarcely known any inter
mission for more than twenty years whilht it
has been productive of no positive " eood to any
human being, it has' been the prolific source of
great evils to the master, to the slave, and to
it - t- .1 i Ti l 1" . i
tue wuoie t-ouuiry. is nas anenaiea and es
tranged the people of the sister States from each
other, and has even seriously endangered the
very existence of the Union. IS or has the dan
ger yet entirely ceased. Under -our system,
there is a remedy for all mere political evils in
tho sound sense and sober judgment of the
people, vj Time is a great corrective. Political
subjects which but a few years ago excited and
exasperated the public mind have passed away
and are now nearly forgotten. " But this ques
( tion of domestic slavery is of far graver impor
tance than any mere political question, because
should the agitation continue, it may eventually
endanger tho personal safety of a large portion
of; our countrymen where the institution exists.
In that event, no form of government, however
aVlnvirable in itself, and however productive of
material benefits, can oompensate for the loss
of peace and domestic security around the fami
ly altar. Let every Union-loving man, there
fore, exert his best influence to suppress . this
agitation,' which, since the recent legislation of
Uongress, is without any legitimate object. .
It is an ev il omen of the times that men have
undertaken to calculate the mere material yalue
of the Union. Reasoned estimates have been
presented of the pecuniary profits and local ad
vantages which would result to different States
and sections from its 'dissolution, and of the
comparative injuries which such an event would
inflict on other States and sections. Even des
cending to this low and narrow view of the
mighty question, all such calculations are at
fault. The bare refenee to a single. considera
tion will be conclusive on this point. We at
present.enjoy a free trade throughout our ex
tensive .and expansive country, such as the
world has nevejr witnessed. Thisiradeis con
ducted" on railroads and canals on noble rivers
and arms of the sea which bind together the
North and the South, the East and the West
of our confederacy. Annihilate this trade, ar
rest its free progress by the geographical lines
of jealous and hostile btates, and you destroy
the prosperity and onward march of the whole
and every part, and involve all in one common
ruin
' But such considerations, important as they
are in themselves, sink into insignificance when
we reflect on the terrific evils which would re
suit from disunion to every portion of the con
federacy to the North not more than to the
South, to the East not more than to the WcbI.
These I shall not attempt to portray ; because
I feel an humble confidence that the kind Pro
vidence which inspired our fathers with wisdom
to frame the most perfect form of government
and in this character they should ever he kind
ly recognised.
The federal constitution is a .grant from the
States to Congress of certain epecifie powers;
and the question whether this grant should be
liberally or strictly constructed, has more or
less divided policital parties from the begining.
Without entering into the argument, 1 desire
to state, at the commencement of my adminis
tration, that long experience and observation
have convinced me that a' strict construction of
the powers of the government is the only true
as well as the only safe theory of the constitu
tion. Whenever in our past hi.stary doubtful
powers have been exercised by Congress these
have never failed to produce injurious and unhappy-
consequences. ' Many such instances
might be adduced, if this were the proper occa- " . e .
sion. Neither is it necessary for the public ,u?,en" t0
service to strain the language of the constitu
tion ; because all the great and Useful powers
required for successful administration of gov
ernment, both in peace and in war, have been
granted in express terms or by the plainest im
plication. : . , . i
Whilst deeply convinced of these truths, I
yet consider it clear that, under the war mak
ing power, Congress may appropriate money
towards the construction of a military road,
when this is absolutely necessary for the defence
of tne country against foreign invasion.

When Mr. Buchanan went to Washington,

the boarders-ss the story goes conceived the
idea that they ought to be disposed of effectu
ally before the day of inauguration. According
ly he procurd extra large doses of arseuic, which
be disposed of in the most tempting manner
about the house. The rats ate the poison. It
is well known that when rats partake of arsenic
they put directly for water. There is a Isrge
