ADDRESS.
| SIR: The Republic Of Colombia this day enjoys
high honor, in offering to that OF the United States,
through the humble voice OF her Representative,
the homage Of her respect and friendship. Admi-
ring, in common with the Universe, the virtues of
people made great and happy by liberty and order,
she is anxious to contract with them relations OF
mutual utility, end hopes that sentiments OF recipro-
cal good will may be coextenslve with the two coun'
tries, and of equal permanence.
Al the termination OF the struggle which she
maintained in her defence Of her rights. Colombia
saw with pleasure that this llluslious nation the
first to recognize her Independence-a noble act of
Justice, coming with peculiar aptitude from the
United States, and an example to other nations
worthy of imitation.
/ The moment America heretofore Spanish per-
ceved that the time had arrived Tor the exercise of
sell government, operating in concert without any
inter communication, and as it were by an impulse
OF nature, the cry OF Independence resounded from
one extremity TO the other. The civilized world
as they looked on at the origin progress, and ter

garding it act OF rebellion, saw in it only the
those important events of the age, which have
trbuted to change the face of the earth, s melio
rate the condition OF the human race. Hence it is
that our commercial relations have been unbroken,
that our !iag has been respected upon the seas, and
That the principles OF neutrality have been acknow-
lodged and pracliSed contormaby to the law of ma
tons.

This generous conduct was in conformy with
true policy. Colombia believes herself worthy Of
being admitted into the great community ofnalions,

from the principles she processes. While the doc
