rected and furnished, to give efficiency to
that branch of the service. While this har-
mony existed in directing the preparation
OF the navy as Of the army, there was con-
cert ofaction and purpose between the hands
0: the two arms Of the service.
BY the orders which were from time to
time issued, our vessels of war, on the
Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico, were sta
toned in proper time, and in proper posi-
ton, to CO operate efficiently with the army
BY this means, their combined power was
brought to bear successfully upon the enc
my. The great resulte which have been
developed and brought to light by this war,
will be of immeasurable imp ortance in the
future progress of our country. They will
tend powerfully to preserve us from foreign
collisions, and enable us to pursue uninter-
ruptedly; our cherished policy-peace with
al! nations, entangling alliance with none.
occupying, as we do, more command
ing position among nations than at any for
mer period, our duties and our responsible
ties to ourselves and our posterity, are cor
respondingly increased. This will be the
more obvious when we consider the vast ad.
ditIons which have recently been made to
our territorial acquisitions, and their great
Importance and value.
! Within less than four years, tho annexa-
ton Of Texas TO The Union has been con.
summated, and conflicting titles to the Ore.

north latitude, being all that was insisted

IN the midst Of almost insuperable diff
culties, and transmitted to US with iniunc-
ton that we should enjoy its blessing,
and hand it down unimpaired to those
that may come after us.
In view Of the high and responsible du-
ties we owe to ourselves and mankind,
trust you may be able 10 approach the ad-
justment Of the only domestic question
which seriously threatens, or probably
ever can threaten, to disturb the harmo-
ny and successful operation Of our sys-
tenn. ~,
The immensely valuable possessions of
New Mexico and California, are already
inhabited by considerable population,
attracted by their great fertility-their
mineral weath--their commercial ad-
vantages, and the salubrity Of the climate.
Emig rants from the older States, in great
numbers, IRE already preparing to seek
new homes, in these inviting regions. III
Shall the dissimularity Of domestic in
situations in the different States prevent
US from providing for them suitable gov
ernments? These institutions existed at
the adoption Of the constitution; bat the
obstacles which they interposed, were
overcome by that spirit Of compromise
which is now invoked. In conflict Of
opinions or Of interest, real or imaginary,
between different Sc ctions Of our country,
neither can justly demand all which it
might desire to o. t,in; each, in the true
spirit Of our institutions, should concede
something to the other. # .. %. -.
Our gallant forces in the Mexican war,
by whose patriotism and unparalleled
deeds Of arms we obtained these posses
sions as an indemnity for our just de-
mands against Mexico, were composed Of
citizens who belonged TO no State or sec
ton or our Union; they were men from
slaveholding and non-sIaveholding States,
from the north and from the south, from
The east and from the west. They were
companions in arms, and feIlow-citizens
Of tho same common country, engaged 10
the same common cause. When prose-
cutting that war, they were brethren and
friends, and shared alike with each 9th.
