WIN the members Of Congress from the West
allow any compromise to be made BY our Gov
eminent with England? Shall the treacheIous
conduct o. Shannon revert in giving additional
territory 10 England! No Stree! If the Sec

Of the United States. And the discovery by
Lewis & Clark Of the sources of that river, and
the law Of Nations which gives to the Nation
discovering the mouth Of the river, the right to
all the Territory watcred by it, unoccupied, at
the time Of the discovery. The right establish
ed by Revolution, which gave us the same title
GreatBriiain had to all the territory from 9heAt-
lantic to the Pacific oceans. The cesson OF
Spain to the United States of her claim TO the
country north of42 deg. The right we acquired
from the French by the purchase Of Louisiana
AND the right of settlement, made by John jacob
Astor at the mouth of Columbia. These are our

and Church government have both sheen weigh

And across the Pacific ocean must the principles
by which we are governed extend their blessings
over the whole human race.

so clearly foreshadowed, has even now in our
