44 I lay befora Congress copies of the Treaty of
Peace and amity between the Uriited States and his
Britannic M•tjest), which was signeu by the Com-
missioners of both patties at Ghent, on the 24th of
December, and the rafifications of which have
been duly exclottigist. Vs' idle performing this act, I
congratulate you stint our constituents upon an event
is hich is highly hottourab:e to 1::e nation, and termi-
nates with peculiar felicity a campaign signalized by
the most brilliant successes.
" The late war, althoup,h rfluctantly declared by
Congress, had become a necessary resort, to assert
the rights and independence of the 'swim'. It has
been w sged with a success w Itch is the natural re-
sult of the Let;islative counsels, of the patriotism of
the people, of the public spit it of the militia, and
of the valour of the military and naval forces of the
country. Peace. at all tittles a itlessiog, is peculi.
arl y welcome, thetefore, at a period when the
causes of the war hate ceases! to operate; when the
Government has demonstrated the efficiency of its
powers of defence: and whets the nation can review
its conduct without regret and without reproach.
•• I recommend to %our care and beneficence the
gallant men whose achievements, in every depart-
ment of military service, on the land and on the
water, have essentially contributed to the American
name, and to the restoration of pease. The feel-
ings of conscious patriotism and worth will animate
each men, under every chnnge of fortune and par-.
suit; but their country performs a duty of itself,
when it bestows those testimonials of approbation
and applause, which are, at once, the reward and the
incentive to great actions.
" The reduction of the public expenditures to the
demands of a peace establishment, will doubtless
engage the immediate attention of Congress. There
are, however, important considerations which forbid
a sudden and general revocation of the measures that
have been produced by the war. Experience has
taught us, that neither the pacific dispositions of the
American people, nor the pacific charact,-
politacnl institutions, can altogether e;
frt m that strife which appears, beyond t
lot of stations to be incident to the actus
the world ; and the same faithful moult
strafes that certain degree of preparation
not only indispensable to avert disaster it
but atfords also the best security for the t
csf peat?. The wisdom of Congress, wit'.
I am confident provide for the untintenai
adequate regular force; for the gradual
