Mr.. Donezstn's speech to his Iuner;o7
Highness Tie Grand Ncarie of the Ger
manic Empire, on presenting his ere.
! deMia7s.
No higher honor could be conferred
upon me than that Of presenting the let
ter which | now do, accredilinq me
as the minister Of the United States to
your Imperial Highness. On former
occasion, anticipating the decision of the
President when he should be informed Of,
the existence OF the central power es,ab-
llshed by the German States, ventured
to express in advance the friendship and
sympathy he would feel for its success.
The letter which now deliver will show
that 1t was not possible Tor me to over
state the warmth and sincerity Of his sem
timents.
Permit me, in addition, to assure your
Imperial Highness, that no effort shall be
spared on my part to render the perform
ance acceptable.
The United States, having no interest
which can lie opposed to tina: Of Germa.
ny, Will look with a steady friendship 10
the great work which has been intrus,cd
to the guardianship of the provisory gov
eminent and the national assembly. That
this work may be successful, that it may
unite the German States in a just federal
government which will make them, US a
Union, stronger and greater, and Il pco-
pie more free, prosperous, and happy,
VIII he the anxious wish Of every true
American.
Allow me also to express on this occa
sion the confidence reposed by my coun-
'rymen ia the personal character Of Your
H'ghness They respect it as guaran-
tee that the objects proposed by this Union
OF the German States may be attained
without war or civil commissions. Hav-
ing been aided themselves by u kind
Providence, which gave them a WASH
'nSton, to show how much stronger is
political fabric which rests upon the spirit
OF fralernal concord and lorbearunce than
upon the riyalrles of separate interests
and conflicting nalionaIitics, they indulge
the hope that u similar blessing awaits
Germany. They rejoice in the wish that
the generations which are TO come may
place the name Of your Iiighness by the
side OF Washington, not Cor glory gained
IN fields OF battle, but for services as a
statesman who persuades his countrymen
to continue together in brotherIy coun-
sci, to bury their local differences and
sectional prejudices, and to establish, bv
patriotic compromises, a government
uniting public order and private right
with individual liberty and national in
dependence.
MY government and countrymen are
aware that it is their example, and not
their advice, which may engage the at
tenlion Of foreign States, when seeking
to amend their political systems. Hence
they studously abstain from becoming
partisans 10 :he internal differences Of
other nations respecting their forms Of
government They know that whatever
is good in itself will be useful only as
political example, as it becomes known
by its peaceful and unpretending pres
ence to the exchanges Of commerce, and
in those friendly Offices which belong to
the spirit Of an aye that makes knowl- !
edge and virtue the condition Of national
greatness and private happiness. 1t is
not, therefore, in the spirit Of oparand
lolI thoI iuC oClllillct:tS OF WDlcn am the
organ are offered. 1t is in that Of SIN
cere respect for the German States and
people, whose origin, numbers, in1eIi-
gence, position and productions, enli,le
them TO be ranked amongst the first ma
rreas Of the earth.
