Washington in his Farewell Address to hi

washington his fhftWtI Auute5n0 10 HIS
countrymen, September II, 1876, said
"The great rule Of conduct for us, in regard TO
foreign nations, il, in extending CONNER
cial relations, to have with them little connex-
ion possible. Why quit (asked he)
our own to stand on foreign ground? Why, by in
terweaving our destiny with that Of any part of
Europe, entangle peace and prosperity in the
tolls of European ambition, rivaship, interest, hu
NOR, caprice9
"The unity Of government, which constitutes
you one people, is dear to you. Much
pains will be taken, many articles employed, to
weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.
- 1t is OF infinite moment that you should
properly estimate the immense value of your ma
tonal union to your collective and individual hap
piness that you should cherish cordial, habitun,
and immovable attachment to it, accustoming
yourselves to think and speak Of it of the pala
dunn of your political safety and prosperity watch
ing for its preservation with jealous anxiety, dis
countenancing whatever may suggest even
picion that in any event it can be abandoned, and
Indignantly frowning upon the first dawning OF
every attempt to ALLEVIATE any portion OF our coun-
try from the rest, to enfeeble the sacred ties
which bind together the various parts"
Members of Congress- DESTROYS of celebrating the
anniversary of Washington's birthday upon prin-
cipes thus set forth in his Farewell Address, are
respectfully invited to meet on Wednesday even
ing in the Hall of the House of Representatives, at
seven o'clock, TO take the preliminary steps
therefor.

The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-01-20

The subjoned excellent declaration Of prn-
cples on the subject of Intervention has been
adopted by the House of Representatives OF
Georgia, and we believe will be found to ex-
press the sound opinion of great majority of
the Southern people. The finest oratory i'm
agnabe will be Of little avail against the clear
conception Of the interests and duty Of the
country which is manifest in these resolutions,
and others of a kindred character previously
adopted by other Southern States:
at has been the policy of the American Govern
men from its earliest existence 10 maintain friend
ly relations with all, but enangling alliances with
none. Our true mission is not to propagate our
opinions, or impose upon other countries our form
of government by artihce or force; but to show by
our success, moderation, and jusce, the blessings
of self government and the advantages Of free in
stituions. Let every people choose for themselves
and make and alter their political institutions to
suit their own condition and circumstances. In
proclaimiDg and adhering to the doctrines of neu
trality and non intervention, the United States
have not followed the lead of other civilized natone
but have taken the lead and been followed by
others. These great principles, proclaimed in
the days of Washington and Jefferson, are the
great American principles upon which our Gov
ernIueUt has ever stood. Inc lame and dlStlnC
ton to which we have attained az people, the
great blessings which wo have dispensed to the
world, in afIording asylum for the oppressed
everywhere, forbid that we should, for moment,
cherish the idea of abandoning these principles
We sympathize with the oppressed-we tender
them home; but never will we join with the am
bilious or the revengeful in crusade against
other nations, whatever may be their domestic
policy. departure from this safe and correct
rule would involve our Government in endless
disputes and endless wars-the result Of which the
wisest craftsmanship cannot forcsee. Our policy
should be to observe good faith and justice towards
all nations, cultivate peace and harmony with
all; against the insdious wiles Of foreign influ-
the Jealousy of free people ought to be con-
stantly awake; since history and experience prove
that foreign influence is one of the most baneful
foes of republican governments
'In extending our commercial relations, we
should have as little political connexion possible
with foreign nations Why by Intervening our
destiny with that Of any part of Europe, entanglc
peace and prosperity in the broils of European
ambition, revaship, interest, humor, or caprice?
"Resolusd, That his excelleucy the Governor be
requested to forward the foregoing declaration of
principles to our Senators and Representatives in
the Congress Of the United States, with the request
that they may be laid before their respective houses
as the opinions OF the people of Georgia, as the
policy Of our Government; and that copy be sent
also to the President of the United States"

MIR. Wise.

We learn from Richmond that the Democracy Of
the west have it in serious contemplation to elect
Mr.. Henry A. Wise to the United States Senate.
Should this be their real purpose, we may look out
for ferce struggle between the west and Mr.
Hunters friends in the east. Should this struggle
take place, we sincerely hope that the Wings of
the Legislature will let the Democracy fight it out
among themselves, and refrain from throwing the
weight of a feather into either scale. The Wings
have never made any thing by voting for Demo-
Gratis. Mason and Hunter both their seats in
the Senate to the Wings, and, verify, the Wings
have had their reward for thus elevating them.
Floyd owed his election to the executive chair to
the Wings; and we all know that that chair was
never filled by more bitter partisan than Gov
crnor Floyd proved to be. Lett then, the Wing
party of the Legislature profit by experience, and
act on the motto "NOn nostrum componne tantas
lites - et1sburg (Va.) IntsIligencr.

THE COLLINS STKAMIRs.-We are truly sorry TO
learn, as we do by on article in the Herald this
morning, that the Collins line from New York to
Liverpool greatest, probably, in the worlds
threatened with failure and extinction, arising
from the enormous expense attending it, and from
the refusal of Congress to afford it national sup
port; and the company is actually celebrating as
to the expcdicncy Of surrendering the enterprise,
and disposing of their magnificent vessels to the
Emperor Of Russia, who wants TO purchase them,
and have them converted into war steamers 1t
seems. too, that the Bremen line scarcely poys
penses, and the New York and Havre line is still
lees able to maintain itself. and its managers are
considering the propricty of giving up, and
fcrring their vessels to the California trade.
These are facts of which the general public arc
not at all aware.--Noc York Echo

wood and the Compromise.

The Governor of Ohio in his inaugural ad-
dress, declares in favor Of maintaining the
Compromise undisturbed, not because he APP
proves of 1t, but in order that the slavery ag-
tation may be forever closed. At the same
time, he opposes any extension of the area of
slavery, and regards the Colonization Society
as 50 the most effective organized agency TO
eradicate and finally wipe away the institu-
ton"
The ground taken by Governor WooD in re-
ference to the maintenance of the Fugitive
Slave law has incensed many of the Democratic
leaders of Ohio, who aver that his election was
attributable mainly to his recorded hostility to
that measure. In the State Senate, on the 9Th,
several of his supporters contrasted his present
language with that used by him year ago, and
opposed the circulation of the address in conse-
quence Of the change it exhibits. We note the
fact, not with the view of exulting over this adj
dition to the family quarrels of the Democracy,
but to prove that the ground taken by Wing
journals at the time Of Governor WooD's cleo
ton was fully warranted by his own avowas.
With his consistency we have nothing TO do.
1t is enough for MS that, having gained the
honors Of high office, he is disposed to respect
its responsibilities, irrespective of the prediec-
tions of friends and allies.
