volunteer as the van-guard of civilization.
So little did the idea of acquiring mo"e
territory in t he south-west occupy the at
tention of the government, that when Mr.
Monroe, in the year 181t), wasettling the
terms of I he Florida treaty, he conceded.
as is well known, to the claims of Spain,
the river Sabine aspur,wp$icrn boundary,
although it was admitted that that bound
ary had .hitherto been indeterminate, and
the U:iifed States might have asserted an
unacknowletlgetl claim to trrritory'.-w est
of that river. And this concession of the
Sabine as a boundary was not objected
to-af. the time,. nor has if since been ribjec
ted to. except by those who cherished
schemes. of acquisition antl extension of
territory such as those, and growing out
of those, which owe their oriirin to the
plottings of Colonel Burr.
At length the Mexican provinces de
clared atid achieved their independence
of S(aiu, and established a constitution
formed upon the modeLof our own. The
government of the United States was the
first to take the new-born Republic by the
hand, antl hid it velcome into the family
td nations. However subsequent events
have tended to cast suspicion upon l he
motives of this conduct and show of -cordiality,"
there "can be no doubt that by the
administration then in power. by Congress,
and by the people, o.' ihe whole country,
there was a sincere, hear: y and disinter
ested regard. for the. welfare of a natiojr,
which, tinder the tlisad van! ages of a re
tarded civilization, had followed so suc
cessfully, our example, as well in the bat
tles of freedom, as in the kindred form of
its government. The founding of a new
empire in Mexico, on republican princi
ples, was accepted as a pledge and omen
of the progress over theTworld til' thecause
of constitutional libertv. If it hail been
represented tothe Mexicans that we were
cheering them on, in their struggle, for in
dependence, merely that, having detached
tTiem from Spain and her-protection, we
might take advantage of their weakness,
in the infancy of their government, domes
tic tlissentiims, and their inexperience of
the forms and usages of free republican
institutions, ourselves to seize and appro
priate a part of their territory, the obvious
and atrocious perfidy o I the scheme would
have rendered it as incredible to them, as
it would have been abhorrent to the feel
ings and principles of the American peo
ple. The idea of colonization has been not
unfamiliar to the world in all times, but
it has seldom been adopted as a means of
conquest. G ecce, early sent tint many
colonies, and founded cities and villages
in Asia Minor, in Sicily, in Italy; and else
where upon the shores of the Medteerra-
nean Sea. TheGrecian colonists, like the
early settlers of our ow n land, left their
native country on account of the oppres
sions antl tyranny they were subjected to,
and they sought freedom and an ampler
field for the exercise of their powers and
faculties iu oilier lands.- They were look
ed upon by their molherjcountry as eman
cipated children. They soon became great
and prosperous and. as has happened in
a less degree in modern times, in the case
of these American Sratrs, the example of
their prosperity under their free forms ol
governmeiit, reacted upon theparent coun-.
tryvin ameliorating and liberalizing her
institutions, and moulding them into those
)opular forms which' were ihejountjation
and support of her glory; and winclr have,
attracted so much ot the admiration of
freemen in the succeeding periods.'- It was
the policy of Rome first to suUIue, and
Ihen to colonize introducing her own . cit
