yectlr involves the rights and
interests of the federative fra
ternity, or of foreign Powers,
s of the resort of this Genera
Government. The duties o
Tbcjth are obvious in the general
principle, though sometimes
perplexed with difficulties .in
the detail. To respect the
rights of the State Governments
is the inviolable duty of that of
the Union: the Government oi
every state will feel its own ob
ligation to respect and preserve
the rights of the whole. The
prejudices every where too
commonly entertained against
distant strangers, are worn a-
way, and the jealousies oljarr
ins: interests, are allayed by the
composition and functions of
the Great National Councils,
annually assembled from all
quarters of the, Union at this
place. Here the distinguished
men from every section of our
Country, while meeting to de
liberate upon the great interests
of those by whom they are de
puted, learn to estimate the
talents, and do justice to the
virtues of each other. The
harmony of the nation is pro
moted, and the whole Union is
knit together by the sentiments
of mutual respect, the habits of
social intercourse, and the ties
of personal friendship, formed
between the Representatives of
its several parts, in the perfor
mance of their service at this
Metropolis.
Passing from 'this general re
view of the purposes and in
junctions of the Federal Consti
tution, and their results, as in
dicating the first traces of the
path of duty, in the discharge
of my public trust, I turn to the
administration of my immediate
Predecessor, as the second. It
has passed away in a period of
peace; how much to the satis
faction of our country, and to
the honor of our country's name,
is known to you all. The great
features of its policy, in general
concurrence, with the will of
the Legislature, have been- To
"cherish peace, while preparing
for defensive war To yield
exact justice to other nations,
and maintain the rights of our
own To cherish the principles
of freedom and of equal rights,
wherever they were proclaimed
lo discharge, with all pos
sible promptitude, the JNahonal
debt To reduce, within the j
narrowest limits ol efficiency,
the military force To improve
the organization and discipline
of the army To provide and
sustain a school of military
science - To extend equal pro
tection to all the great interests
of the Nation To promote the
civilization of the Indian Tribes,
and To proceed in the great
system of internal improve
ments, within the limits of the
Union. Under the pledge of
these promises, made by that
eminent citizen, at the time of
his first induction to this office
in his career of eight years, the
internal taxes have been repeal
ed; sixty millions of the public
debt have been discharged; pro
vision has been made for the
comfort and relief of the aged
and indigent, among the survi
ving warriors of the Revolution;
the regular armed force has
been reduced, and its constitu
tion revised and perfected: the
accountability for the expendi
bles oi puciic moneys has been
made more effective; theFlori
das have been neaceahlv acn Hir
ed, and our boundarv has been
extended to the Pacific ocean;
e dependence of the south-
uauonsofthis- hemisnhero
has b
en recognised, and re
t
commended, by Sample, and
j by counsel, to the Potentates ofi
Europe, progress has been made
in the defence of the country,
by fortifications and the increase
of the navy towards the effec
tual suppression of the African
traffic in slaves in alluring the
aboriginal hunters of our land
to the cultivation of the soil
and of the mind in exploring
the interior regions of the Un
ion, and in preparing, by scien
tific researches and surveys, for
the further application of our
national resources to the inter
nal improvement of our county-
In this brief outline of the
promise and performance of my jcept the Lord keep the city, the
immediate predecessor, the line! watchmen waketh but in vain,
ol dilty, tor his successor, is
clearly delineated. To pursue
to their consummation, those
purposes of improvement in our
common condition, instituted or
recommended by him, will em
brace the whole sphere of my
obligation. To the topic of in-
ternal improvement, emphatic
ally urge(' by him at his inaug
uration, I recur with peculiar
satisfaction. It is that from
which I am convinced that the
unborn millions of our posterity
who are in future ages to people
this continent, will derive their
most fervent gratitude to the
founders of the Union, that in
which the beneficent action of
will be most
deeply felt and acknowledged.
I he magnificence and s'pendor
of their public works, are a
mong the imperishable glories
of the ancient republics. The
roads and aqueducts of Rome,
have been the admiration of all
after ages, and have survived
thousands of years, after all her
conquests have been swallowed
up in despotism, or become the
spoil of barbarians Some div
ersity of opinion has prevailed
with regard to the powers of
Congress for legislation upon
objects of this nature. The
most respectful deference is due
to doubts originating in pure
patriotism, and sustained by ve
nerated authority. But nearly
twenty years have passed since
the c'onstrution of the first na
tional road was commenced.
The authority lor its construc
tion was then unquestioned.
To how mnny thousands of our
countrymen has it proved a
benefit? To what single indi
vidual has it ever proved an in
iiuryf Repeated liberal and
candid discussions in the legisla-
ture, have conciliated the sen
timents and approximated the
opinions of enlightened minds,
on the question of constitutional
power. I cannot but hope that
by someprocess of friendly, pa
tient, and persevering delibera
tion, all constitutional objections
will ultimately be removed.
The extent and limitation of
powers of the General Govern
ment, in relation to this trans-

will be settled and acknowledg

of all; and every speculative
scruple will be solved bv aprac-

ATLANTIC,
IS a beautiful chesnut sorrel, full
five feet four inches in height, and
eight years old the ensuing spring:
For, elegance of form, as well as
activity and spirit, not surpassed
by any horse in the United States.
His reputation as a sure foal getter

his Colts remarkable for their

who are desirous of raising horses
for the Turf, or for any other pur
pose that requires activity or du
rability, would do well to embrace
this opportunity.

Miss Halifax, by the imported
horse Phoenix, his grand dam Miss
Jefferson, by. the imported horse
Diomed, out of Mr. Marmaduke
Johnson's Medley and Sentinel

racers. Miss llalitax was raised
by Mr Thomas B.Hill, and distan

when three years old. The im
ported horse Phcenix was gotten by
the imported horse Dragon, m Eng

colts after she was fourteen years
old; her dam, sister to Sting and
Bordeaux,by Cygnet, and also dam
of the imported horse Flimnap; her
