exists. Ia that event, no form of government, however admirable in itself, however productive of material benefits, can compensate for the loss of peace and domestic security aronnd tho family altar. Let every Union-loving man, therefore, exert his best intlncnco to suppress this nptta tion, which, sinco the recent legislation of J-;""-gress, is without any legitimate object. It js an evil of tho times that men havo undertaken to calculate the material value of tho Union. Koa soned estimates havo been presented of tho pecn niary profits and local advantages which would result to different States and sections from its dis solution, and of tho comparative injnnes winch snch an event would inflict on other States and sections. Even descending to this low ami narrow view of tho mighty question, all snch calculations are at fault. Tho baro referenco to a single con idcration will be conclusive on this point. Y o t present enjoy a freo tr.-ulo throughout onr ex tensive and expansivo country, such as the world never witnessed. This trade is conducted on railroads and canals, on noblo rivers nnd arms of tho sea, which bind together the North and tho South, tho East and the West of our confederacy. Annihilate this trade, arrest its free prepress by the geographical lines of jealous and hostile States, and yon destroy the prosperity and on ward march of tho wholo and every part, and in volve all in one common rain. Bnt such consid erations, important as they are in themselves, sink into insigniricanco when wo reflect on tho terrific evils which would result from disunion, to every part of tho confederacy to tho North not moro than to the South to the East uot more than to the West. These I shall not attempt to portray, because I feci an hnni'ilo confidence that tho kind Providence which inspired out fa thers with wisdom to frame tho most perfect form of government and union ever devised by man, will not suffer it to perish nntil it shall havo been peacefully instrumental by its example in the ex tension of civil and religious liberty throughout tho world. Next in importance to tho maintenanco of tho constitution and tho Union is the duty of preser ving tho government free from tho taint or even the suspicion of corruption. Public virtno is tho vital spirit of republics, and history proves that when this has decayed, and tho love of money has usurped its place, although tho forms of free gov ernment may remain 'for a season, tho substance has dep&itcd forever. Our present financial condition is without a par allel in history. No nation has ever before lcci! embarrassed from too largo a surplus in its treas ury. This almost necessarily gives birth to ex travagant legislation. It produces wild schemes of expenditures, and begets a race of speculators and jobbers whose ingenuity is exerted in contri ving and promoting expedients to obtain the pnlv lie money. The party, through its oiViei.-il agents, whether rightfully or wrongfully, is suspected, nnd the character of tho government snnvrs in the estimation of the people. This is in itself a very great evil. The national mode of relief from this embarrassment is to appropriate the surplus in the treasury to great national objects for which a clear warrant can be fonnd in the con stitution. Among these I might mention the ex tinguishment of the public debt ; a reasonable in crease of the t avy, which is at present inade quate to the protection of onr vast tonnage ailor.t now greater than that of any other nation as well as the defence of our extended sea coast. It is beyiMid all question the true printiple that no more revenne ought to 1 collcctcj from the people than the amount tieecessary to defray the rxpciiac 01 a wise, economical and cihVicnt administration fcf the government. T. reach this point it was necessary to resort to a modification of the tariff", and this has been done in snch a manner as to do as little injury as may have been practical !e to onr d imestic manufactures, es pecially those necessary f-w the defence of the country. Any discrimination agaiiv-t a particular branch for tlie purpose of benefitting favored corporations, individuals or interests would have bced nni'M to the rest of the community, and inconsistent with tli.it spirit of fairness and equality which ought to govern ia the adjutincut of a revenue tariil". Bnt the 9qnanderinir of the public money "inks into coreparitive tasiniuVancc, as a temptation to comipliim when compared I the squandering of tue public lands. No nation in the tide of time has ccrl-cen blessed with so rich aad noble aa inheritance as we enjoy in the p.iv lic lands. In administering this imp jrtaiiitrnst. whilst it may be wise to grant portion of them for the im provement of the remainder, ytt wr should ra ver for get that it is onr cardinal policy to reserve there lands, as much as may be, for actual settler, and this at mod crate prices. Wc shall thus mt oniy 1-est promote the prosperity of the new states, by famishing a hardy and Independent race of honest and indrr-trions citizens, bnt shall secure homes for our children a-.nl onr children's children, as well as for those exiles from foreign shores who may seek in this country to impTt.ve their condi tion, and to enjoy the blessings of civil and religions liberty. Snch emigrant have done much to promote the growth ami pnsperity of the country. Tliey have proved faithful both in peace and in war. Alter be coming citizens they are entitled, nndcr the constitu tion and laws to be placed on perfect equality with na tive born citizens, and ia this character they should ev er be kindly reemi.-eL The federal constitution is a errant from the States to Comrrc- of certain sicciae owers. and the qncstion whether this grant Mia II be liberally or strictly construed has, more or less, divid ed political parties from the beginning. Without entering into the argument, I do-Ire t- state at the commencement of my adrnini-lrati-m. that Ions experience and observation have convinced me that a rtrict construction of the powers or the government is the only true as well as the only safe theory of thecon titution. Whenever in our past history douhtiiil pow ers hare been exercised by Congress, they have never failed to produce injurious and unhappy consequences. Many snch instances might bo adduced if this were the proper occa-ion. Neither is it necessary for the public service U strain the langirage of the constitution, be cause all the great and useful powers required for asnc cevful administration of the government, both in prace and in war, have lieen granted either in ex;re3 terms or by the plainest implication. Whilst di-cply convinc ed ot these truths, I yet consider it clear that nndcr the war making power. Congress may appropriate money towards the construction of a military road, when this Is JtbsoInU-lr nerrsrry for the ilefence of any Str:tc r Territory of the Union again- foreign invasion. Under the eon-titation. Congress has jvower to declare war, to raise and snpport armies, to provide and maintain a navy, and to rail forth the militia to repel invasion. Thus endowed in an ample manner with the war mak ing power. the corresponding duty is required, tint the United States shall protect each of them (the States) against invasion. How is it possible to afford this pr.v ti-ction to California and enr Pacific possessions except by means of a military rosd throngh I lie territory of the United States, over which men and munitions of war Tray be speedily transported from he Atlantic SLites to ' meet and repel the invaders? In cue of a war with a naval Power much stronger than tsnr own, we should then have no other available access to the raeitic coa-t. becansesncha Power would instantly clone the route Across the L-thinus of Central America. It is impossi ble to conceive that whil-t tlie con-titntion Ims c.pie Iv renaired Congress to defend all the States, it should yet deny to them, by any fair construction .the only pos sible .means by which 'one -of these States cat le de fended. Besides, the government, ever since its origin, has been ia t!ie constant practice of constructing mili tary roads. It mirht also be wise to consider whet Iter the lore for the Union which now animates our fellow citizens on the Pacific coast, may not be impaired by onr neglect or refusal to provide for tliera in their re ' mote and isolated condition, the only means l.y which the power of the States on this Bide of the Kncky moun tains can reach them in sufficient time to protect then gainst invasion. I forbear for the present from ex pressing an opinion as to the wisest snd most eeonomi mi mmlff in which the government can lend its aid in wmmolL-hitHr this great and necessary work. 1 believe ' that many difficulties in the way, which now appear "formidable, will in a great degree vanish as soon as the nearest and best route shall have been satisfactorily as certained. It may be right that on this occasion I should make noroe brief remarks as to our rights and duties as a mcm beaof the great family of nations. In our intercourse with them there are Bomenlam nrincinlco. approved mr own exncTienre. from which we sho-il.l never de- nart. We on'-ht to f-nltivate tiea'-e. commerce and friendship with aM nations ; and this not merely as the best means of promoting onr own matfria1 interest. but In a (tint-it of Christian lienevolem-e towards onr felliw men, wncrever t icir i may no ru i mr uii"io i Mhonld he direct and frank neither neck ins to obtain more nor accenting less than is onr due. We ou'lit to cherish a sacred re'rard for the iiid-cndeiicc or all na tioos. and never attemot to interfere in the dome-tie concerns of any, unless this shall lie imperatively re nuired by the great law of self-preservation. To avoid i-ntanclin? alliances hss bu a mavim or our nonci M-er inv tlio davit nT Waihin"ton. and its wisdom no one will attempt to dispute. In short, we ought to do justice in a kindly spirit to a! I tuitions, and require jus tice from them m return. It is our glory th-.it while other nations have extended their dominions by fu1 sword, we have never acquired any terriu-y except by rir nnrehase. or. as in the case or luxas, ly tue voiun tary determination of a brave, kindred and imlcjiend ent neonlc to blend their destinies with our own. Kven onr acquisitions from Mexico form no exception ; un willing to take advantage of thcJrtune of war against sister republic, wc purchased these possessions under tue treaty or ncaee, ior a sum wuku wuiwuvrtu at the time a fair equivalent. Oar past history forbids that we shall in tho future aviuire territfiry cnless this be sanctioned by the law of justice and honor. Acting on this principle, no nation will have a rfc'ht to interfere or to complain if. in the nimrmsa of events, we shall still further extend onr pos sessions. Hitherto, in all our acquisitions the people under the protection o( tho American 11 tg have enjoyed civil and religious lilxirty.ns well ascpbland just laws, and have been contented, or Mwronsaud happy . Their trade with the rest of the world has raoiill v increased. and thus every commercial nation haa shared largely in their Hnceeflxful prompts. x'lai; now jir.x-d to take the oath prescn.jed by tue constitution, win! 4 uuinbiy invoking the blo&iug of diviiie 1'ruviUeiicc ou this rcat neopio.
