pl,o 10 state that the resolutions passed al the
l,stsession of the Legislature relalIIg TO Slh-
very and the Mexican War, transmitted by
me 10 The Executive of Virginia. were recon
vcrod TO me in accordance with order Of
the LEGISLATURE of that State, directing the
Executiye 10 ''return them forthwith" This
IS not announced TO YOU because any action
IN regard 10 il is supposed to be necessary,
but as Vermont can have no fears that her
hunoi will be dimmcd by The contrast III the
respccrve positions of the two STATES it Is
deemed due TO her that a recOIC oil the trans
Rclion should he in her own safe keeping.
believe that The position Of Vermont is
distinctly understood IN regard TO all those
great gnestIons OF national policy, which are
from Time 90 lime agita;ing our national cOun-
ellis, aud in which Vermont in common with
the other States of the Union has so deep an
interest. II affords occasion for the most
profound regret that the unhappy war with
a ncicLbornG Rel ublic has not yc; been ter
minated, but, on the CONTRARY. lie making still
greater and greater demands upon the blood
and treasure of the nation. 1T is believed
that Vermont has seen nothing in The prog
ress Of the contest, to change her sentiment,
either in regard to the iusuliiCiency ofthe
grounds Oh W hich the war was commenced.
or the unwolhiness Of the purposes Tor which
II has been waged. She cannot recognize
the general government as committed to any
career of conc, est, nor will she regard any
unaccomplished schemes oflerriorial aggran-
dzcnent as presenting IN obstacle TO the
speedv adjustment of existing difficulties.
Peace sheunequivocally and earnestly desires,
and asks for no ierritofy, whether slave oriree,
as a condition of its establI. hment and secu-
rty.
II remains for me to pledge you my cordial
co-operarion in all your efforts TO promote the
public welfare. And impressed wirh CRATE
iul sense Of our obligations TO those " no have
generously committed their interests to our
care-suided by firm convictions oftruth and
right, and aided by that Divine Favor which
alone can ensure success 10 the best devised
rlaus. we NAV hope that our labors for the
session will advance the substantial prospect
iy and happiness Of the people of the State.
