Treaties embracing this subject, among
others, have been negotiated with these
governments, which will be submitted to
the Senate at the present session.
"A new branch OF commerce, i'm ,ortani
TO the agricultural interests of the United
States has, within few years uast been
opened with Peru Notwithstanding the
mexhaus,able deposits Of guano upon the
islands oi that country, considerable diff
|cui'ies have been encountered in securing
more abundant importation Of the arti.
tcie. Unfortunately there has been Sc
nous collision between our citizens. who
have rcsorted to the Chincha Islands for
1t, and the Peruvian authorities stationed
there. Redress Tor the outrages conrmt-
ted by the latter was promptly demanded
by our Minister at Lima. This sabicc,
IS now under consideration, and there is
a reason to believe that Peru is disposed
to eoncede adequate indemnity TO ag-
Igrieved parties
We are thus not only nj peace with all
foreign countries. bit III regard to politi-
cal affairs, are exempt from any cause Of
d,squletude IN our domestic relations.-
! The controversies which have agitated
our country heretofore, are passing away
with the causes which produced them, and
the passions they have awakened, or if
any trace OF them remains, il may be rea-
sonaby hoped that i, will quickly be per-
celyed IN the generous rivalry of all good
citizens to testify their respect for the
right of States, their devotion to the Un-
ion, and their common determination ,ha,
leach one ol the States, It's institutions, its
welfare, and It's domestic peace, shall be
held alike secure under the sacred agis
OF the constitution. This new league OF
ami,y, Of mutual confidence and comfort,
into which the people Of this republic
have entered, happily affords induce
ments and opportunities for the adoption
OF more compact union and une nbar-
rassed line of policy and action as to the
great material interests Of the country
whether unguarded in themselves or in
common with the powers Of the civilized
world. The L. S. have continued grad
ually their acquisition OF territory which
how muchsoever some OF them may have
been questioned, are now universally
seen and admitted to have been wise ia
policy, just in character. and a great ad-
lrancement oi our country, and with il oi
the human race in freedom in prosperity
and in happiness.
