nations in a single year. Such is the un-
exaggerated picture ofotir-cotiditiou, under :1
constittition foundeds upon the R.epublica‘n
principle of equal rights; To admit l.ltat.this
picture has its sliades, is btit to say that It I5

disease ; often, liy the, wrongs atid ‘itijtlstice
ofother nations, ev'en to tlte extremities of
war; and, lastly, by dissensions among our-
selves——dissensions, perhaps, inseparable fm.
the ‘enjoyment of freedom, hutwlitcll ltavfi,
more than once, appeared to threaten the dis-
solution ofthe Union, and, with it, the over-
throw of all the enjoymeiits of our present
lot, and all our earthly hopes ofthe ftiture.—-
The causes of these dissensions have been
‘various : founded upoii difi"erences of specu-
lation iti thetheory of Republican Gov’t. ;—
_‘t.tpon conflicting vi'ett'?'s ofpolicy, in otir rela-
tions with foreign ‘natioiis ‘; upon jealousies of
partial and sectional‘ in'terests, aggravated by
pmjtidices and prepossessiofis which strangers
to each other are ever apt to eiitertaiti.
_ ' It is a sotirce of gratification and encour-
agement to me, to observe that the great re-
sult ofthis experitnetit upon the theory of hu-
man rights, has, at the close of that genera-
tion by which it was forineti, been crowned
with success’ equal to the most sanguine ex-
pectations ofits founders. Union, jtistice,
tratiquility, the common defence, the general
welfare,a’nd the blessings of liberty,—all have
been protnoted by the gov’t tititier which we
have lived. Stalidllngllt this point of time ;
looking back to that generation which has
gone by,&z. forward to that which is advanciiig,
we niay_, atonce, indulge in grateful exulta-
tion,a’ndi_n ‘cl'ieeri_ng.hope., F'rotii the expe-
.ri‘enc'eoftl'ie past,we derive instructive lessons
for the ftittire. Oftlie two great politic,al,par-
ties whicli have divided_ the opinions and feel-
ings ofoitr country, tltelcandid and just will
now admit, that both have coiititibt_ite.d splen-
rlitlitalents, spotless ill‘.t“gl'il_V, ardent patriot-
ism, and disittterested sacrifices. to the forni-
ation and adtiiinistration ofthis gov’t.; -81. that
both have required ajliberal ititltilgetice for a
portion of liuman infirmity and error. The
revolutionary wars of Europe, ctiiiiirieitcitig
precisely at the inonient wlieti the Go‘v’tof
the U. S. first went itito operation under this
Conktiilliifill, excited a collision of sentiment
and sympathy,wlticlt kindled all the passions.
and einbittered the conflict ofparties, till the
nation was;involved in war, 31. the Union was
shaken to its centre. This time of trial em-
braced a period of 95 years, during Witi(‘ll,ille
policy oftlte Union, in its relations-witli Eu-
rope, consiittited the principal basis ofour po-
litical divisions, and the most ardtious part of
the action of otir Federal Gov’t. With the
catastrophe in tthich the wars ofthe French
Revolution terminated,&. otir own subseqtieni
peace with Great Britain, this baneful weed
ofparty strife was uprooted. From ‘that time
"no differeiice of principle, connected eitliet’
with the theory ofgov’t,or with out intercoiirse
with foreign nations, has existed, or been call-
ed forth, in force sufiicieiit to sustain a con-
-tinued combination of parties, or to give more
titan wholesome animation to ptiblic senti-
jlléfiii, or legislative ,debate. Our political
creed is withotit a dissenting voice that can be
“heard. That the will of the people is the
source,&. the happiness ofthe people the end,
of all'le-gitimate Gov’t npoti earth—Tliat the
best security for the betieficeuce, and the best
guaranty against the abtise, ofpower,consists
in the freedoin, the purity, and the frequency
of poptilar' electious,—-That the general gov’t.
of the Union, and the separate governineuts
of the State, are all sovereignties of limited
powers ; fellow servants of the saute masters;
uncontrolled within their respective spheres ;
_uncon\nollable by eucroaclitnents tipoti each
other——Tliat the firtnest security of peace is
the preparation, diiring peace, ofthe defences
of war—That a rigorous economy, & accoun-
t_ability of ptiblic expenditures, sliottld guard
against the aggravation, and alleviate, when
possible, the btircietr, of.taxatioti———Tliat the

.military should be' kept in strict subordination

tothe civil power-——That the policy of our
'_country ispeace, and the ark of otir salvation
-_union, are articles of faith upon which we are

” all now agreed. Iftliere have been those who

' doubted whether a confederated representative
deinocracy were a government competent to
the wise and orderly‘ managenieiit ofthe com-

"mon concerns ofaniiglity iiatioii,those dotilits

_have been dispelled. lfthere have been pro

jjects of partial confedei'acics to be erected up-

on the rtiins of the ‘Union, they have been
scattered to the winds-—If there have been
dangerous attacltinents to one foreign nation,
 antipatliies against another, they have been
extingtiislietl. Ten years of peace, at home
and abroad, haveiassuaged the auiniosities of
-political contention, and blended into harmo-
ii'y- the most discordant elements of public 0-
'piuion. There still remains one effort oftiiag-
.'r_ianir'nity, one sacrifice of prejudice and pas-
siou,to be made by the individuals throughout
rtheiiation, who have ltert-ttufo-re followed the
‘standard ofpolical party-—It is that of dis-
‘carding'cvet'y remnant of rancor against each
~'other ; of embracing. as friends and country-
men, and ofyieldiugto talents and virtue a-
lone, that confidence which, in times of con-
‘t;en't‘ioii forrpriticiplc, was bestowed only upon
1liltl_Se:\\"ll() ‘bore the badge ofpartyconitiiungiii.
‘ The collisions of party spirit, which origin-
-ate in ‘speculative opi-nious, or in different
‘views ofadniiuist.rati_ve policy, are, .in their

, nat'iiit=., transitory.‘ Those which are founded

am geographical divisioiis, adverse interests
’0fs0_il, clitiiate, anti modes of domestic life,
are more perinaneiit, and therefore perhaps
more tlaiigerous. It is this which gives ines-
limahle value to the character of otir Gov’t.,
at once federal and national. It holds out to-
tis a perpetual admonition to preserve alike,
and with equal anxiety, the rights ofea,ch in-
dividual State in its ‘own governtnent, SJ. the
rights ofthe whole nation in that ofthe Un-
ion. 'Whatsoever is of tiotncstic concern-
inent,’tinconnected with the other members
of the Union, or with foreign lands, belongs
exclusively to the administration ofthe State
Governments. Whatsoever directly involves
the rights anti interests of the federative fra-
ternity, or of Foreign Powers, is of the resort
of this General Government. The duties of
botii are obvious infthe general principle, tho"
sometimes perplexed with difiicultiegin the
detail. -To respect the rights of the State
Governments, is the‘ii’iviolable ditty oftltat oi
thc.Union ; the gov’t. of every state will feel
its own obligation to respect and preserve the
Lights ofthe whole. The prejudices, every

where too commonly entertained against_dis-
taut strangers, are. w0I'tI away, and the jeal-
ousies ofjarriiig i_nterests‘at'e allayetl, by the
composition and ftinctioiis ofthe great Na-
tional Councils, aniitiallyfasseinbied .frotn all
qtiarters oftlte Utiion, at this place. _l~Iere
tlfdistiiiguislietl men from every section of
oiiii"couiitry,tvliile meeting to deliberate upon
the great interests ofthose by whom they are
depttted, learn to estimate the talents, and do
justice to the virtues, of each other. The
harmunv oftlte tiatinn is promoted, and the
whole Union is knit together, by the semi-
ments of mutual respect, the habits of. social
intercottrse, 8:. the ties of personal friendship
formed between the representativesofits"sev-
eral parts", in the performance of their service
at this metropolis,

Passing fr. this general review ofthe pur-
poses aiid injunctions of the fetleral constitu-
tion, and their results, as indicating thefirst
traces of the path ofdti_ty, in the discharge of
my ptiblic trust, I turn to the aduiintstration
of my immediate predecessor, as the second.
it has passed away in a period'of' prolotind

ures ofitsptilicy, in general conctirrence with
the will of the legislature, have lieen—To
cherish peace while preparing for deletisive
tvar—To yield exact justice to otlter nations,
and maintain the rights of our own---—To

andl—To proceed in the great system ofiii-

tetnal itiiproveiiieiits, witliiit the limits of the

constit't_iti_oii;ii power of'thetinion. Under the

pledge ofthese pijoniises, made by that enti-

tieiit t-itizen, at the tiitie of his first induction

to this oll‘it'e, in his career of eight years, the

ititemal taxes have balm repealed ; sixty util-

lions ofthe plii)li(‘..t'it"l’)l have been discharged;
provision_ has been made for the comfort and

rcliefoftlte aged and _indigent,aiiiong the sur-
viving warriors of the revolution; the regular
armed force has been l'€tlllC8(l,,al')(l its consti-
tution 'reviscd and perfected ; tlieaccou tita-
bility for the expenditures of public moneys
has been made tiiore effective; the Floridas
have been peaceably ac.quired,, and our boun-
dary has been extended to tile Pacific ocean ;
the independence of the southern natioiis of
this lieiiiispliere has been recognized, and re-
couiiiiended, byjexauiple and by council, to
the potentate.-t ofEuropc; progress has been
iiiadeiri the defence tiftlie country, by fortifi-
cations and the increase ofthe navy—towards
the effectual suppression ofthe African traffic
in Sl2IVC.‘;—ill alluring the aboriginal hunters
ofour land to the cultivation of the soil and
of the tiiiiid——in exploring the interior regions
of the tiiiion, and in preparing, by scientific
researches and surveys, for the further appli-
cation of our national resources to the inter-
nal iniprovemeiit ofour country. ,

In tliisbriefotitlitie ofthe proiiiise and per-
formance of my immediate predecessor, the
line of dtity, for his successor, is clearly dcliii-
eated. 'I‘o pursue to their consttiiiation those
purposes of improvement in our common con-
dition, iiistittited or recoitiiiietitled by him,
will embrace the whole sphere of my obliga-
tions. To the topic ofinternal improvement,
emphatically urged by him, at his inaugura-
tion, I recur with peculiar srttisfaction. It is
that frotii which I am convinced that the tin-

ages to. people this coiitinctit, will derive their
tiiost fervciit gratitude to the founders of the

its government will be most deeply felt antl
acknowledged. The iiiagttiftcclice and splen-
dor of their public works are among the im-
perishable glories of the ancient republics.-—
The i'oads.and aqttetlucts of.Rome have been
the admiration of all after ages, and have
survived, thousands of years, after all her coh-
qttests have been swallowed tip in despotism,
or become the spoil of barbarians. Some di-
versity of opinion has prevailed with regard
to the powers of congress for legislation upon
objects of this nattiie. The most respectful
tleference is dtie to doubts,origiiiating in pure
patriotism, and sustained by veiieratetl au-
thority. Btit nearly twenty years have passed
since the coiistrticiion of the first national
road was coiiitiieiiced. The authority for its
construction was then iiiiqtiestiotied. ’I‘o how
many lltoltsimtls of our countrymen has it
proved a benefit ? To what single individual
has it ever proved an injury ? Repeated lib-
eral ‘and candid discussioiis in the legislature
have conciliated the seiitiiiienls, and approxi-
mated the opitiioiis of enlightened minds,
tip_on the question ofcotistitutional power. I
caiiuot but hope, that by the same process of
friendly,patient and persevering deliberations,
all constitutioiial objections will ultimately
be removed. The extent anti limitation ofthe
powers ofthe general government, in relation
to this transceudently important interest, will
be settled and acknotvletlged, to the common

will be solved by a practical public blessing.
,Felluw citizens, yott are acqtiaintcd with
the peculiar circttmstaiices ofthe recentelec-
tion, which ltave resulted in afi'ording me the
opportunity ofaddressing yoti at this tinie.——
You have heard the expositions ofthe princi-
ples which will direct itic in the fulfilment of
the high and soleinti trust iiuposed upon me

TUESDAY. MARCH 3, is2:%.,;
The Presi'.dcnt’s flccoimis.-—The Rich triond

iiiuiiication, written, as is well understood, by

iuipeaching the correctness of some of the
accounts passed to the credit of Mr. Monroe
oti the books ofthe proper Department. The
articles being ofa nature to excite ptiblic in-
terest and general inquiry, the Senate, a few

at rest the caluiiinies it contained, removed
the injunction of secrecy from the proceed-
ings which ‘took place in the Senate, in Nov.
I81 I, upon“lhe notnination of Mr. Monroe to
that body, by Mr. Madison, as Sec’ry of State.
it appears from these proceedings that (under
a rule of the Senate requiring that before any
noiniuation ofa person who has been engaged _
in the tlisbutseineiit of pttblic monies can be
accepted, his accounts shall be examined and
approved,) a full investigation ofthe very ac-
counts now alluded to by Mr. _Giles,was then
gone into by a select cotniiiittee of which Mr.
Giles was chairman, and that this committee,
through Mr. Giles, reported that they saw no
reason why the nomination should be reject-
ed, and it was accordingly tmmiiniously con-
firmed. Mr. Giles is now at liberty to write
another six columns in order to remove from
hiniself the obloquy he has taken so much
pains to cast upon another. ,

I-Great State Road through N. York.--.-The
recoirinieiitlation of GOV. Clinton for opening
a state road from some point on the Hudson
to the head ofthe Cayuga lake, to be nearly
central between the Erie Canal & the Penti-
sylvania liiie,is likely to be carried into effect.
Oti the £7.-lth ult. avery large meeting was
held at Albany to consider the question, and
a coiiitnittee of niiie,(aiiiong wliotii was Eras-
tus Rootiappoitited to report resolutions and
their opinion on thesubject. On the Elfitli,
another meeting was held when the conitiiit-
tee reported in favor of the object,and recotii-_
mended the legislature to appoint a ‘joint
couiniittee to take the subject into coiisidet'a-
tion,and to report the measures necessary and
proper‘ for the great work. -The report was
accepted ; and on the 28th, the Assembly, on
their part,appoitited a committee accordingly‘.

More Canals.—The inhabitants of Catskill
atid ()ll-lei” towns interested, have entered se-
riously into a project for constructing a canal
from the Hudson river at Catskill alongthe
Scholiarrie-kill to the most eligible point of
junction with the Erie Canal ; and thellegis-
lature of Massacliusetts have passed a bill au-
thorizing the appointment ofConimissioners
to make surveys of scites for Canals from the
Hudson River to the Harbour qf Boston, and
appropriating $5000 for the purpose. ,

’I‘he»cotninittee of the "N. York Assembly
to whom were referred the applications for
Banks, &c. have made a report in which they
express an opinionthat an increase of£2,000,-
000 of capital in the city of NetvYork may be
safely allowed ; and that the following restric-
tions ought to be imposed upon all_future in-
corporations, namely : The whole ofthe cap-
ital to be paid in without the power toincrease
it; no loans or discounts to be made on liy-
pothecation ofthe stock ofthe bank; no div-
idends proclaimed unless out of neat profits
over and above losses and expenses; iti case
of loss no dividend to be made ttiitil the whole
capital stock be made good ; thcbauk to be
located without the power to establish branch-
es ; and no loan to be itiade to a director but
on the same endorsement and _sccurity as are
reqtiired for otlier-loans.

On the 26th ult. the President ofthe U. S.
in presence ofa number ofgentieuien assem-
bled at his house, presented the residue ofthe
Medals voted, by Cotigress to certain military
ofiicers, in testimony of the sense entertained
by the nation oftlteir services during the late
war. The President accompanied the pre-
sentation iti_ each case with an appropriate
address, which was followed by a reply oti
the part ofthe individual by whom the ined-
al was received. The medals were present-
ed in the following order :—-Major General
Brown. Major General Scott. Major Gen-
eral Macomb. Gen. Jesup, for Major Gen-
eral Harrison. Mr. Houston, of’I‘eiiu. for
Ll/Iaj. General Gaines. Mr. Marvin, ofN. Y.

not lost a man since she left the U. States.

In the House ofRepresentatives of Petiti-
sylvania, a resolution has passed, by a vote of
58 to 26, for instructing the Senators, and re-
questing the Representatives oftliat State in
Congress, to use their endeavors to have the
Constitution ofthe United States so amend-
ctl, as to enable the people to vote directly for
President and Vice President of the United
States, and also to prevent the electioti froui
being referred to Congress at any event.

On the 22d inst. Mr. McDuffie laid before
Congress resolutions ofthe saine import.

The Legislature of Maryland have passed
a bill for aiiieiitling the constitution of the
state, so as to relieve the Jews from the dis-
qualilications titider which they now labor in
that state. The bill ltas again to pass the legis-
lattire before the atriendinetit is constiuiuiated.
The legislature also passed a law providing
that iiujimialc should be iuiprisoiied for debt.

The Missouri legislature lately passed a

law to prevent duclling, annexing to the of-
fence the punisliuiciit ofwhipping'. The gov-
ernor returned the bill with objections, when
tire Senate again passed it, but it having fail-
eti in the house it has not becotne :1 law.
