Under any ahrr President we sbmld probably have

The lso oceans through Niearaaua. This dispute wac.

ize6s Of The United Sianes had obtained n cpnces- i'm for

aud at heir designation The Sovereign of the Mosquito
lndiaos. who appear with good reason To be merely a tool
Of British policy, opposed the execution uf thai enterprise.

There is reason t. believe that the excellent spirit Of
this message. with regard Ia foreign policy, will moderate
the ferIings of the people ot the frontier States, who
have encouraged and excited IDEAS of ANNEXATION among
the i~nhabilsnts OF Canada; and fl sill stronger reasons
should the desires of The Canadian anncXationists be-
GA aimed. They cannot conceal from themselves that SO
long as General Taylor's Presidency lasts, they cannot
rely up support. direct OF indireci, from the auIhori-
ties of the United 5 ates. The readiness aud energy
which he has d splayed in putting down The expedition
which had b. en- prepared in the Southern p1rIs for the in
