In behalf Of these suggestions,l can
not forbear repeating the wise pre-
cepts of one whose counsels cannot be
forgotten: "The United States ought
not TO indulge persuasion that, con-
trsry to the order Of human events,
they will forever keep at a distance
those painful appeals to arms, with
which the history Of every other nation
abounds. There is a rank due to the
United States among nations which
will be withheld, il not absolutely lost,
by the reputation Of weakness. If we
desire to avoid insult, we must be able
TO repel il. If we desire to secure
peace. one Of the most powerful instru.
ments Of our rising prosperity, ii must
be known that we are at all times,
ready for war;"
