CHOSEN BY the body of the people under the
assurance that my administration would bo
devoted to the welfare Of the whole country.
and not TO the support Of any particular sec
uon or merely local Interest," this adsy renek
the declaration | have hitherto made, and pro.
claim my determination to maintain, TO the
extent oil my ability, the government in II.
original purity, and to adopt as the basis of
my public policy, those great republican doc.
TIMES which constitute the strength Of our
national exlstence; In reference to The arinIv
and navy lately employed with 80 much dis.
Junction In active service, care shall be taken
to secure the highest condition of efficiency:
and in the furtherance Of that object. the mil
i'oTy and naval schools sustained by the lib.
erallty Of Congress, shall receive the espec,sl
o%ttenIion Of the Executive.
As American %ireomen, we cannot but sym.
Pathize in all efforts to extend lie blsss-
ings of civil and political liberty; but at
the same time we are are warned by the
admonition of history and the voice of our be.
loved Washington, to abstain from ali ensahp.
ling alliances with foreign nations. In an
disputes between conflicting governments, il
} Is our interest no less than our duty, to remain
perfectly neutral while our geographical
positions. and, above all, the doctrines OF re.
iigion, direct us to the cultivation Of peaceful
and llendly relations with oil other powers.
It's to be hoped that no international CUES.
ton can soon arise, which a government con.
ndent OF is own strength, and resolved 10 pro.
tect Its own rights, may not settle by wise
" NA1l
negotiations; and it emInently becomes a gov.
errmenI like our own, founded on the NOR
atty and intelligence Of It's citizens, and no.
5 held bv their affections. to exhaust everv ra.
sort of honorable diplomacy before appealing
to arms. =
In the conduct of our foreign affairs, . ali
e conform to these principles, as | believe them
I essential to he best interests and true nonor
> Of the country.
The appointing power vested in the President
imposes delicate aud onerous duties. 10 far
as is possible to be informed, / shall make Lno.
esty' capacity and fidelity indispensable re.
quisltes to the bestowing Of offices; and the
r absence Of either OF the qualities, shall be-
deemed sufficient cause fo~rtsmoval.
1t shall benny duty to recommend such con.
Q sntutional measures to Congress, as NAV be-
necessary aud proper to secure the encour-
i 0gement and protection Of the great interests
OF agriculture, m and manufactures:
to improve our rivers and harbors; to provide
tor the speedy extinguishment of the public
debt; to enforce a strict accountability onthe
part of the officers of the government, and the
ptmoat economy in the public expenditures;
but it rs for the wisdom of Congress tselE, in
which all legislative powers ate invested BY
by the constitution, to regulate these and 9th
er matters of domestic policy. l shall look
u with confidence to the enlightened patriotism
of that body to adopt such measures as NAV
harmonize the conflicting interests and tend to
PeFPetuate the Union which should be the
paramount object Of our hopes and affections.
Al II any action on my part can be calculated
'S TO promote an object so near the heart Of every
one who truly loves his country, l will zeal
d ously unite with the coordinate branches of

In conclusion, | congratulate my fellow.

no denco and moderation in our councils, by wei
