The oath taken in the present of the people becomes a mutual covenant ; t he officer covenants to serve the whole body of the oeoDle bv a faithful execution of i he laws, so that tney may oe an uniauing defiance and security of those who re spect them ; and that neither wealth, sta tion nor power of combinations shall lie Able to evade their iust penalties or to wrest them from beneficent public pur pose to serve the ends of cruelty or s If-ishness.

Our people will not f..;i o. this im to recall the incidents which accompanied the institution ol the government under the constitution, or to find inspiration and guidance in the teachings and example of Washington nnd his gTeat associates, and the hoe and courage in contrast which thirty eight populous and prosperous Mutes our people.

The diver gent interests of peace speedily demanded a mtr0 fwrfept union. " The merchant. shipmaster and manufacturer discovered and disclosed to our statesmen and to the people that commercial emancipation must be added to politicBlfrsedom, which had been so bravely won, The commer cial policy of the mothcrcountry had not relaxed any of its hard and oppressive features to hold in check the development nfnnr commercial marine, to prevent or re ard the establishment and growth of manufactures in the itates, and so to se cure the American market for their shops and carrying trade for their ships, was iIm- iKilicv of European statesmen, and nt iinrsnrd with most selfish vitror, The orivileircs of American citizenship are so great and its duties so grave that we may well insist upon the good knowledge ot every person applying ior ciiiKnanip, and the cood knowledge bvhimof ouriu stitti tions.

We have happily main tained the policy of avoiding all interfer ence with Euroicuii affairs. We have only been interested iectators of their contentions in diplomacy "'id in war, reaily to use onr friendly offices to pro mote peace, hut never obtruding our ad vice and never attempting, unfairly, to coin the distresses of other powers into commercial advantages to ouru-'lves. We have n just right to expect that our Eu ropean policy will be tlie American policy of the Euroiiean courts. It is so mani festly incompatible with those precau tions for our .peace and safety which all treat powers habitually ooserve ana en- lorce in matters iuicvuuk umu, mi shorter water way between our eastern and western sentioards should be domi nated by the European governments, thai ut mnvponhdentlvexnect that SUCH a purpose will not lie entertained" by ny trie ml I v power. We shall in future, as in tlie past, se every endeavor to maintain and enlarge our friendly relations with all the great powers, but they will not expect n to look kindly uimhi any protect that would leave us subject to the dangers of hostile observation or environment. We have not souuht to dominate or to absorb any of our weaker neighbors, but rather to "aid and encourage them to establish Free mid staole covernments. resting up on the consent of their own people. Vi e have a clear naht to expect, therefore that no European government will seek to establish colonial dependencies upon the territory of these independent Mates. That which a sense of justice restrains us from seeking they may be reasonably ex netted willinulv to forego. It must not be assumed, however, that all our inter ests are so exclusively American that our entire inattention to any events that may transpire elsewhere can be taken for granted. Onr citizens, domiciled for the purpose of trade in all countries and in many of the Islands ofthe sea, demand, and will have our adequate care in their personal and commercial right. The necessities of our navy require convenient coaling stations, and dock and harbor privileges which we will fcel free to obtain only by means that do not in any degree partake of coercion, however teebler the govern- mmi frnm which wc ask such concessions. But havine fairly obtained them by methods and for purpose entirely con sistent with the most friendly disposition towatds all other powers, our consent will be necessary to any modification or impairment ol the concession. We shall neither fail to respect tne nag oi any friendly nation or the just right of its citizens, nor to exact like treatment for our own, calmness nnd lustiee and con rderation should chai ncterize our diplo macy. The othce of intelligent diplo macy are to a peaceful adjustment of all international uimcullies. uy sucn mein od w will make our contribution to the world's peace, which no nation valncs more highly, and avoid the opprobium which must fall upon a nation that need lessly break it. Tlie duty devolved by law upon the President to nominute, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint all public officers whose appoint ment is not otherwise provmea ior in idc Constitution or by tiic act of Congress, has become verv burdensome and its wise nnd efficient discharae. full of difficulty. The civil list is so large that a personal knowledge of any latge number of appli cants is mi)osailjle. The President must relv Uvn the representations of others, and they are ofien made inconsiderately aud without any just sense; of responsi bility. 1 have a right, I think, to insist that those who volunteer or are invitci! to give advice a to appointment, shall exercise consideration und fidelity. A high sense of duty and ambition to improve tlie service should characterize all public officers.

Petitions poured in upon Congress, urging the imposition of discriminating duties thnl should encourage the produc tion of needed things ut home. The pa triotism of the people, which no longer found a field of exercise in war, was en ergetically directed to the duty of equip ing the young republic for the defense of ils independence by making its people self-deeiident. cnjcieties for the promo tion ol home manufacture and for en couraging the use of domestic in the dress of the jieople were organized in many of the State.

How long will those who I rejoice that slavery no longer exists, i cherish or tolerate the incapacities it put j upon their communities.

Men wna have invested their capitut in these enter prises, farmers who have (clt the benefit of their neighboi hoods, and men who work in the shop or field will not fail to find and to defend community of interest.
