feelings respe citing all the members of the govern
ment under the administration OF President Monroe,
John Quincy Adams, and General Jackson; tor
these gentlemen, and the other statesmen previously
mentioned, treated me with q confidence, truth
fulness, kindness, and hospitality, sucn as | must
always remember with pleasure not easily to be
expressed It exceeded every thing could anticl-
pate in conduct TO a stranger visiting them unac-
credited.
These statesmen must, indeed, have been much
surprised to have read such a paragraph, which
rnmor, which at all times, respecting public men,
is OF most uncertain origin; for one and all OF these
statesmen had, during all my intercourse with them,
evlnced, without the slightest deviation, the most
such as enabled me, by. the extraordinary conf
dence which they placed in me, to effect entire
change IN the spirit OF diplomacy, between Great
Britain and the United States, in the year 1880
the extent Of the Misunderstanding, and the hostile
correspondence which had, for some years pre-
vlously, taken place between the two governments,
and the adverse spirit with which II was conducted,
was surprised, and greatly pleased. to discover,
from my intercourse, first with Mr.. Van buren,, as
Secretary OF State, and President Jackson, on the
side of the Atlantic, and the Earl OF Aberdeen
on the other, that these parties could be induced so
willingly 10 accede TO the proposals which hrst
preached to Mr.. Poinset, whenlM in Mexico,
afterward to MIR. Van Buren, and General Jackson
at Washington, and then TO Lord Aberdeen In
London,-to abandon this spirit and hostile attl-
tude, and agree to adjust, and finally settle, in
just manner and amlcable spirit, every point OF
difference then existing between the two countries,
with determination 10 meet each other honestly
and fairly half way. This was Immediately done
between the ministers OF the respective govern
ments, and the best feeling continued TO prevail
between them for several years aiterward.
One OF the chief objects OF my present visit to
the United States, is to discover the means by
which these feelings may be renewed and perpetu-
ated advantageOusly tor both countries, and to
make such facts known as will convince the gov
eminent and people Of the United States and
Great Britain that 1t is yet their paramount interest
to be come and remain cordially united, and to
assist each other IN promoting the extension OF the
arts and sciences and OF every useful knowledge.
The two countries are now IN possession OF the
most ample means 10 ensure high degree OF iIn-
mediate prosperity, which may be made continu-
ally to progress without retfogression sufficient to
secure gradually the we-belng and happiness OF
every individual in both these extended and ex-
tending empires Each OF these countries possesses,
within its own domain, more Of those requisites
for permanent progressive happiness than either
requn es but, cordially united, they would pro-
grees fourfold more rapidly. But you Americans
have all the appliances, even IN wanton and waste
full superhuity, to enable you to attain higher de-
gree Of prosperity and happiness than any nation
has ever yet achieved. Your government Is not in
your way, nor yet are any OF your institutions 40
tne-honored as TO present any very serious OBJ
stace to the right application OF these means.
The real difficulties which you have to encoun-
ter arise from your early impaired preJudices from
Europe these and will be difficult to be over
come. But patience and perseverance, will enable
yon to succeed in due time to give you the untold
advantages OF your locality and present position in
the world. That which is necessary, Is now to
have the public mind convinced that your impaired
European preudices are the natural results OF erro
neous first principles-of principles with which the
human race has been afflicted from the earliest
period of their known history.
These may be stated shortly to be the impression
made on our minds from infancy through lite: -
qualities physical mental moral, and practical-to
exercise by his will upon what he shall believe or dis
believe, and upon what he shall like dislike
love or haten
These being suggestions all contrary 10 facts,
can now be demonstrated TO be early imbibed pre-
JUDGES OF our ancestors and for which no one can
be Justly or nationally blamed.
But we have now to discover the means by
which society can overcome these so early and
deeply received prejudlces, without injury to indi
vlduals of any class in any country.
To effect this change in this manner, it is neces-
sary that the following measures should be speedily
introduced into practice in every country, as the
progress OF civilization TO overcome these preJu-
dicss by government and people will, without vlo-
lence or disorder, admit. They may be immediate
ly adopted in the United States;-
