irg this great and necessary w)k. believe ttGs
many difficulties IN the wsy which Ii appear for oil

Il may be right thst. on this occasion, should
make some brief remark, az 10 our rights aud duties
as meube Of the great Family Of NGt.ons In osr
intercourse with them, there some plain principles
approved By our e1peI!en from shca ge sh0ul
never depart. We ought 20 cultivate peace,
and friendship with all cations and this not merely 90
Il best of promoting ratiocal interest,
but IN apirit Of Christian benevoence toserd fellow
men, wherever their lot may be cast Oar
diplomacy should be direct and frank, neither
seeking to obtain more nor accepting less
than is our due. We ought 20 cherish
sacred regard for tho independence Of oil matt ms and
never attempt interfere in the domestic Of
ary. unless this shall be impers,ivey reqgied By tue
s,.at law of ssltpreSeTvation. To avoid entsngIng
alliances has been maxim Of policy since .ne
deys of Washington, and its wisd,m will
atttmp. to dispute. In short, ought to 10 justce
in kindly spirt TO all nations AID require justice from
them in return 1t cur glory that while other nations
have extended their dominons by the sword We have
never acquired any territory except BY fair purchase
or a. in the case Of Texas, by tho voluntary determ
nation of a brave kindred and independent people to
blend their destinies with our owo. Even cur acqu-
sltions from Mexico form no exception Cawilhng 10
take advantage Of the fortune Of war az AIMS elster
Republic, We purchased these possessions under the
treaty of peace for which considered az TIC
tine fair equivalent Our past history fOrbds that
we shall in the future acquire territory unles. this be
sanctioned BY the laws Of justice and honor. Acting
on this principle 10 nstion will right to later

It'll further extend our possessions. Hitherto, In all
cur acquisitions the people under the protect on OF the
American flag have enjoyed civil and religious liberty,
- well as equal and just laws, and have been con-
tented, prosperous and happy. Their trade with tue
rest of the world has rapidly increase and tn every
commercial nation has shared largely in their success
