and significant symbol OF a future confluence and
alliance between themselves inevitable IN their des-
tiny two OF the greatest nations kindred IN origin,
language, and principles Of government, for the
accomplishment of still higher objects for mankind.
These objects can be nothing less than the civil and
religious freedom and nvlolable peace OF the world.
Well and pointedy did you declare IN England your
devotion TO the perfect freedom and equality OF fei
gous privileges between Prosestants aud Catholics,
and every other phase and form of human faith. 1t
unnecessary for to say how congenia and vital
is this principle TO the spirit of our republicsnism
and how deadly to bigotry IN every land. The ex-
IRENE bigots of neither of these prominent theories
of faith would extend to each other the perfect
tolerance which and you would vigilantly
maintain for boih. For religious intolerance, IN
every age and cline has beeen the dark and perify
ing fountain of political despotsm Commencing
by interdictng free inquiry and rational conviction
upon matters OF faith It has prepared the ener'ated
mind for passive obedience and non-resisance TO
the established prerogatlyes of civil government,
however oppressive and malen. Doctrines OF THIS
evil tendency and aim, have lately been obtruded
u.on The patience of the American people, by avowed
partisans of Austria Rome and Russia, IN connec'
ton with your name as their iustrious and and In
fuential opponent. The American people will sus-
tain you in the declaration OF those higher and better
principles so Identical with their own. But with
preemir ent eanestness OF conviction and approval,
DO We adopt your sublime doctrines Of international
policy and moral obligation. They are the doctrines
Of our immortal Washington, and the established
policy Of our country. You declare that every ma.
uOB has an indefeasbe right to establish or change
ITS own government, without the interference OF an
other ard that such an interference is an aggres-
sion a6alnSthe common rights OF all nations, which
all are equally bound To resist. This doctrine EVIL
IDENTIFY tends directly to the suppression Of aggression

smaller communities to preserve the peace and pun
