ce which has never forsaken us as a nation in all our past trials. Our foreign relations.great Britain. Our relations with Great Britain are of the most friendly character. Since the commencGreat Britain are of the most friendly character. Since the commencement of my administration, the two dangerous questions, arising from the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, and from the right of search claimed by the British government, have been amicably and honorably aitizens, and especially to those engaged in foreign commerce, that the claim, on the part of Great Britain, forcibly to visit and search American merchant vessels on the high seas in time of peace, hes of the two countries. This was most fortunately prevented by an appeal to the justice of Great Britain, and to the law of nations as expounded by her own most eminent jurists. The only questto China in obedience to his instructions, has remained perfectly neutral in the war between Great Britain and France and the Chinese empire; although, in conjunction with the Russian minister, he wa

It would be the wisest thing for Congress to divide the public property fairly after paying the public days. My people are not terrified. We have more territory than the Colonies had when they began war with Great Britain, and four times the population. Our imports last year were $30,000,000 --10 per cent, duties had given this. Northern gentlemen say our Institutions are a disgrace to the national family, and say it is a sin. If we separate, their consciences are clear. I argue with the President that there is no right to force a State.--The most offensive aggression is the levying of tribute. If a separation comes, we are carrying out the policy of the fathers of the Revolution. Mr. Crittenden,
