being changed into an aristocracy. The ten-

is to monarchy; and the antagonist principleto

It isin pcrioilslike this that it behoves the
people to be most watchful of those to who they
v._have entrusted pow_er.- And although there is
at times much difiicnlty in distinguisliing the
false from the true spirit, a calm and dispafsioii-
ateinvestigation will\detect the. cotinteneit as
well by the character ofits operations. as the re-
' gulls that are produced. Thetrue spirit ofliberty,
although devoted, persevering, bold and uncom-
promising in principle, that secured.is mildand
tolerent. and scrupulous as to the means it em-
"plays: whilst the spirit of party, assuming to be
that of.liberty.is harsh.vindiciive,antl intolerant,
and totally reckless as to the character ofthe al-
lies which it brings tothe aid ofits cause. VVben
_tlie genuine spirit of liberty animates the body
ofa people to a thorough examination of their
* affairs. it leads to the excision of every excres-
cence which may have fastened itselfupon any
of the departments ofthe Government, and re-
stores the system to its prestine health and bean-
tv. But the reign of an intolerant spirit of party
amongst a free people. seldom fails to result in
a dangerous accession to the Executive power
introduced and established amidst unusual pro-
fessions of devotion to democracy.
_The foregoing remarks relate almost exclu-
sively to matters connected with our domestic
concerns. It may be proper however,that Isliould
give some indications to my fellow-citizens ofmy
proposed course ofconduct in the management of
our foreign relations. I assure them, there-
fore. that it is my intention to use every means
in my power to preserve the friendly intercourse
which now so happily subsists with every fo-
reign nation; and fthat, ofcourse, not well in-
formed as to the state of any pending negiotia-
tious with any of them. Isee in the personal
cliaractcrs ofthe Sovereigns. as well as in the
mutual interest of our own and of the Govern-
ments with which our relations are most inti-
mate, a pleasing guaranty that the harmony so
importantto the interests of their subjects. as
well as our citizens, will not be interrupted _by
the advancement of any claim. or pretenston
upon their part to which our honor would not
-permit usto yield. Long the defender of my
country's rights in the field. I trust that my fel-
low-citizetis will not see in my ea-rnest desire to
preserve Peace with foreign Powers any jndica
tiou. that the rights will ever be sacrificed,or the
honor ofthe nation tarnislied, by any admission
on the part oftbeirCl1ief Magistrate unworthy of
their former glory. '
In our intercourse with our Aboriginal neigh-
bors. the same liberality and justice, which
'mii’rked the course prescribed to me by two of
I my illustrious predecessors, when acting under
theirdirection in the discharge ofthe duties of
Superintendent and Commissioner. shall be
strictly observed. I can conceive of no more
sublime spectacle—none moyeliliely to propiuate
’an impartial and common Creator. than a rigid
adherence to the principles ofjustice on the part
or a powerful nation in its transactions with a
weaker and uniiivilized people‘. whom circum-
stances have placed at its disposal.
Before concluding, fellow-citizens. I must say
something to you on the subject of the parties
at this time existing in our country. To me it
appears perfectly clear. that the interest ofthat
country requires that the violence 0f|ll6 59""
by which those parties are atthis time governed.
must be greatly mitigated. if {'01 e“‘”°lY 5”“
tinguished, or consequences will ensue which
are appalling to be thought of.
If parties in a Republic are pccessry to se-
cure a degree of vigilance sufficient to keep the
public functionaries within the bounds of law
and duty, at that point their usefulness ends.-.-
Beyoiidthat they become destructive of public
virtue, the parents ofa spirit autagnonist. to that
o'f3*_lib'e’rty,’and. eventually. its inevitable con-
--'quo’ror.' ’ We have examples of Republlcfia
where the love of country and liberty, at
one time. ‘were the dominant passions cf the
whale mass ofciiizens. And yet. with the con-
tiuuance‘of the names.-. formsa free"Gov., not a
vestage ofqualities remaining ‘in the bosom of
any one ofits citizens. It was the beautiful remark
ofa distinguisliedEnglisli writer that "in the Ru-
mau Senate. Octavius had a party. and Antho
by a party, but the Commonwealth had none."
Yet the Senate continued to meet in the Terri-
Ple Of Liberty. totalk of the sacretlness and
beauty ofthe Commonwealth. and gazeat the
statutes ofthe elder Brutus and ofthe Curtli and
Decii.
And the people assembled in the forum. D0!
as in the days of Camilus and the Scipios, to
cast their free votes for annual Magistrates or
pass upon the acts ofthe Senate. but to receive
from the hands ofthe leaders» of the respective
parties tlieirsharerofthe spoils. and to shout for
one. or the other. as those collected in Gaul, or
Egypt. and the Lesser Asia. would furnish the
larger dividend. The spirit of liberty had fled.
and", avoiding the abddes of civilized man. had
sought protection in the wilds of Scylbin Of
Scandinavia; and so. under the operation ofthe
same causes and infltienccs, it will fly‘ from otir
Capitol and forums. A calamity so awful. not

their flatterer, it becomes my duty to say to
them from this high placeto which their partial-
ity has exalted me, that there exists in this land
a spirit hostile to their best interests--hostile to
liberty itself. It isa spirit contracted in its views,
selfish in its object. It looks to the agrandise-
ment of a few, even to the des'ruction oftlie
interest ofthe whole. The entire remedy is
with the People. Something however, may be
effected by the means which they have placed
in my hands. It is union that we want, not ofa
party fortlie sake ofthat party. but a union of
the “hole country for the sake of the whole
country—for the defence of its interests and its
honor against foreign aggression. for the defence
ofthose principles for which our ancestors so
gloriously coriientled.
As far as it depends upon me. it shall be ac-
complished. All the iiifliiencc that I possess.
shall be exerted to prevent the formation at least
of an Executive party in the liallsofthe Legis-
lative body. I wish for the support of no mem-
ber of'tliat body to any measure of mine that
does not satisfy hisjudginent and his sense of
duty to those from whom he holds his appoint-
ment; nor any coiifi-lence in advance from the
People, but that asked for by Mr. Jefferson. “to
give firmness and effect to the legal administra-
tion of their affairs.”
I deem the present occasion sufiiciently im-
portant and solein tojustify me in expressing to
my fellow citizens a profound reverence for the
Christian religioii.arid a thorough conviction that
sound morals, religious liberty. a just sense of
religious responsibility, are essentially connect-
ed with all trtie and lasting happiness; &. to that
great Being who has blessed us by the gifts of
civil and religious freedom, who watched over
and ‘prospered the labors of our Fathers, and has
hitherto preserved to us institiitious far exceed-
ing iii excellence those of any other people, let
us unite in fervently commending every inter-
est ofour beloved coiimry in all future time.
Fellow-citizens: Being fully invested with
that high ollice to which the partiality of my
r.-ountymen has called Ire. [now take an af-
fectionate leave of you. You will bear with
you to your homes the remembrance of the
pledge I have this day given to discharge all
the high duties of my exalted station. according
to the best of my ability; and I shall enter tip-
on their performance with entire confidence in

Brooks was left to his fate, which perhaps may
account for the lightness and freedom ofthe-ed-
itor's pinion. We have no olijectionsto leaving
the- subject, so far as the Standard is concern
ed, but before doing so we wish to have it_under-
stood by those who deny us the right of calling
on Capt. Brooks for an explanation of his con-
duct—liis breach of duty as a public carrier-—
Iliat the community, in whose behalf we spoke.
liaveiiever signified the opinion that we had
assumed more than we were by their expressed
wishes warranted in doing. Until this was alone,
modesty, and a. proper deference for the rights
and feelings of a neighboring community should
have restrained any iiisiiiuatioris ol' the kind
on the part of brother Pettingill. Our people
thought, however erroneously, that an riutrage
apparently so gross, had not been committed
without some palliating circumstances. and that
Capt. Brooks, w ould as a matter of justice to
himself, as well as courtesy to them. give his
reasons through their only proper medium of
communication, the public press. But they have,
it seems misjudged the man, and the matter now
rests between them and the gentlcmauly Capt.
ofthe steamboat Nimrod.
