Within the Provinces themselves tran Il
guilty is restored, and on our frontier, t
that misguided sympathy IN favor Of what c
was deemed to be general effort in behalf i
OF popular rights, and which, in some in 9
stances, misled few of our more mex /
perienced citizens, has subsidized into II
rational conviction strongly opposed to all S
intermeddling with the internal affairs of
our neighbors. The people of the Unit I
ed States feel. as it is hoped they always
will, warm solicitude for the success of
all who are endeavoring to improve the
political condition of mankind This
generous feeling they cherish towards the
most distant nations; and 1t was natural
therefore, that it should be awakened with
more than common warmth in behalf of |
their immediate neighbours. But it does
not belong 10 their character as a COM
mnnity, to seek the qualification of those
feelings in acts which violate their duty
as citizens, endanger the peace OF their
country. and tend to bling upon it the
stain of violated faith towards foreign
nations. If Jealous to confer benefits on
others, they appear for moment to lose
sight of the permanent obligations impos-
ed upon them as citizens. they are seldom
long misled. From all the information |
receive. confirmed TO some extent. by per-
sonal observation, | am satisfied that no
one can now hope to engage in such en-
terprizes without encounterng public in
dignation. in addition to the severest pen
allies of the law.
e Recent information also leads me to
hope that the emigrants from her Males
: tvs Provinces, who have sought refuge
$ within our boundaries, are disposed to
q become peaceable residents, and to abstain
from all attempts TO endanger the peace OF
that country which has afforded them an
g asylum. On a review of the occurrences
s on both sides of the line, it is satisfactory
$ to reflect, that in almost every complaint
e against our country. the offence may be
