ers, is obvious The feeling of the whole ci-
vlized world is excited, in high degree, in
their favour. May we not hope that these
sentiments, winning on the hears of their res.
pectiSe governments, may lead to more de-
cisive result, that they may produce an accord
among them, to replace Greece on the ground
which she formerly hed, and to which her he
roic exer:ons, at this day, so emincn,ly emit
tie her?
With respect to the contest, to which
our neighbours are party, is evident
that Spain, as a power, is scarcely felt in
it. These new States had completely a.
chievcd their independence, before it was
acknowledged by the United States, and
they have since maintained it, with little
foreign pressure The disturbances which
have appeared in certain portions of that
vast territory have proceeded from inter-
nal causes, which had their origin III their
former governments and have not yet been
thoroughly removed. 1t is manifest that
these causes are daily losing their effect,
and that these new States are settling down
under governments elective and reprcsen-
tati"e in every branch, similar two our own.
In this course we ardcntly wish them to
perseverc, under firm conviction that it
will promote their happiness In this,
their career, however, we have not inter-
fcrcd, believing that every people have a
right to institute for themselves the gov
crnmcnt which, in their Judgment, may
s,it them best. Our example is before
them, of the good effect of which, being
our neighbours, they are competent judg-
es, and to their Judgment we leave it, in
the expectation that other powers will pur-
sue the same policv.-The deep interest
which VIC take in nthcir independence, which
we have acknowledged, and in their en-
! joyment of all the rights, incident thereto
especially in the very important one OF in
stituting their own governments, has been
declared, and is known to the world. Sc
paiated as we are, from Europe by the
great Atlantic Ocean, we can have no con-
ccrn in the wars of the European govern
mcnts, nor in the causes which produce
them. The balance OF power between
them, into whichever scale it may turn,
in its various vibrations, cannot affect us. 1t
I is the interest of the United States to pre-
serve the most friendly relations with ev-
cry power, and on conditions fair, equal,
and applicable to all. But in regard to
our neighbours, our situation is different.
1t is impossible for the European govern
mcnts to Interfere in their concerns, espe-
cially in those alluded to which are vital,
without affecting us indeed, the motive
which might ntlacc such interference in
the present state of the war lctwecn the
parties, if war it may be called, would
appear to be equally applicable to us. 1t
is gratifying to know that some OF the pow
crs with whom VIC enjoy very friendly
intercourse, and to whom these views have
been communicated, have appeared to ac-
quicscc iii them.
The augmentation of our population,
with the expansion of our Union, and i'll

effects in certain branches OF our system,
which merit the attention of Congress

acquired avast extent of territory; eleven
new States have been admitted into tho
Union, and territories have been laid oil
for three others, which will likewise bc
admitted at no distant day. An organlza-
