The PRESIDENTS MEssAGEs-7-It cannot
fail to be source of qualification to every
true friend ofthe principles of democracy,
and all whoProperly appreciate those meas
urcs which are calculated to promote the
glory and,ProsPerty of our country, to per-
ceive the enthusiastic reception this inn.
portant document has received in every di.
rection, and the demonstrations of appro-
val with which it has been greeted in all
parts ofthe Union. 1t has received the
sanction and approval ofthe entire demo-
cratic press, and there are but few whig
journals who win not accord to it dignity
and ability.
Never has document originating from
the Chief Magistrate of the nation breath
ed purer sentiments of patriotism, or incul-
Gated doctrines more accordant to the prin.
ciPles upon which was reared our present
free and happy form OfgOvernment.
In reference to our foreign relations the
President has spokepas becomes one who
Presides over the destinies of a prosperous
people, who being blessed with the privi-
lege of selEgovernment have thereby grown
to power and greatness. He declares that
our government is upon terms the most
peaceable with all the nations of the earth
except Great Britain and Mexico, and that
our former friendly relations with the latter
power will soon, unless by the interposi-
lion OF some unforeseen event, be re.estab-
lished. Towards Great Britain he shows
hat in the attempt to adjust the Oregon
question our government has been actuated
by spirit ofcompromise, and by desire
o avoid the consequences of war, when it
Gould be done without too great a sacrifice
If our rights, and national honor-that our
.ndeavors have been in vain, and that Great
3ritian ambitious and grasping has refused
. accept The liberal terms which have been {
roposed, He declares that in view of this
lct, the propositions have en.withdrawn,
nd our title to the whole of Oregon assert :
d, He also declares that it is the duty of
congress to provide means for the protec.
on and defence Of our country.men who
ave settled in that region, and also for the
maintenance of our just title to that terri
ry." p
In its relations with other nations our Il
has acted as nation consci.
$ its power and greatness should act D
lely according to the principles of Justice,
ID not by the fear which their threats
ere intended TO inspire. 1
In regard to our domestic affairs he has :,
oxen the sentiments ofthe great body of
Q democratic party. The present Tariff
ne declares, is unjust, bearing too op-
essively upon some classes, and favoring Y
hers, and should therefore be modified or
Peaed, and another established with the
ew not of enriching any portion of the
and impOverishing the remain
II under the specious and false pretext of
protection to home industry" but for the -
Ike of revenue, imposing upon all equal d
lrthens, and iavoring them with equal 1
essings. He has strenuously urged the n
of a treasury system found u
in accordance with the meaning and "
'irit of our constitution, and thereby cans. .
g divorce of the government from bank. :,
g institutions. y
The Presidents position upon the ques- 7
on of the public domain is patriotic, and :
ust certainly elicit the appreciation Of all. q
e has strongly urged the policy of extern
ngfurther facilities to settlers, by reducing =
E price Of public lands and continuing !"
e policy Of granting pre-emptiins in its II
Ost liberal extent" W
