Freeman And Messenger (Newspaper) - January 9, 1840, Lodi, New York I FREEMAN HOUGH AND A a ft i c u t T r n L i T K n A T r n K N T H K r r B L D V VOL I LODI PERSIA JANUARY IS 10 WHOLE NO 53 I designated before the of dispute and I our j have arisen nut of that ration U OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNI- Government of ch it is one commercial intercourse all app j observe will no ITU STATUS boundaries takes u place in of ike i Union as a State and I rely upon the and Hotue of cordial jf the British l regret that 1 cannot on this occasion to effect that object congratulate you that the putt year has There is every to believe that been one of unalloyed prosperity The ravages of fire and disease have fully otherwise flourishing tions of our and yet derange the trade of many of our cities But notwithstanding these adverse circumstances that eral prosperity which has heen fore so bestowed upon us by the Author of all good still continues to call for have we reason to rejoice in the tea indu like those which lately the neighboring British Provinces will not again prove the sources of der or interpose obstacles in the continuance of that good under- standing it is the mutual interest of Great Britain ami the United States to preserve and maintain Within the Provinces themselves 13 restored and on our frontier that misguided what waa sympathy be in favor of recompensed well industry and given to it that sure reward which is vainly sought in speculations I cannot indeed view without peculiar satisfaction the evidences afforded by the past season of the benefits that spring from the steady devotion of the bandman to his honorable pursuit No means of individual comfort is more tain and no national ty is so sure Nothing can compensate n people for a dependence upon others for the bread they eat and that ful abundance on which the happiness of every one so much is to be looked for nowhere with such sure mice as in the industry of the ist and the bounties of the earth With foreign countries our relations exhibit the same favorable aspect which was presented in my last annual sage and aiford continual proof of the wisdom of the pacific just and ing policy adopted by the first tration of the Federal Government and pursued by its successors The extra- ordinary powers vested in me by an act of Congress for the defence of the country m an emergency considered so far probable as to require that tho should possess ample means to meet it have not been They have therefore been attended with no other result than to increase by the con- thus proposed in me my gations to maintain with religious ex- the cardinal principles that ern our intercourse with other nations in our questions with Great Britain out of which this unusual grant of authority arose nothing has occurred to require its exertion and as it is about to return to the Legislature I trust that no future necessity may call for its exercise by them or its lion to another department of thu For the settlement of our ern boundary the proposition promised by Great Britain for a commission of exploration and survey has been re- and a counter project including also a provision for the certain and final adjustment of the limits in dispute is now before tho British Government for its consideration delicate state of proper respect for the natural impatience of the State of Maine not less than a conviction that tho negotiation has been already protracted longer than is dent on the part of either Government have led me to believe that the present favorable moment should on no account be suffered to pass without putting the question forever at rest I feel confident that the Government of her Majesty will take the same view of this subject as 1 am persuaded it is ed by desires equally strong sincere for the amicable termination of tho con- To tho intrinsic difficulties of tions of boundary lines especially described in regions unoccupied and but partially known be added in our country the embarrassment arising out of our by which the General Government is the gan of negotiating and deciding upon the particular interests of the States on whose frontiers these lines are to be traced To avoid another controversy in which a State Government might rightfully claim to have her wishes con- previously to the conclusion of conventional arrangements concerning her rights of jurisdiction or territory I have thought it necessary lo call the at- tention of Government of Great Britain to another portion minous dominion of winch the division Mill to be adjusted I to the line from the entrance of ent A regard to the this question and n which in some instances misled a few of our more inexperienced citizens subsided into a rational conviction ly opposed to all intermeddling with the internal of our neighbors people of the U S feel as it is hoped they always will a warm solicitude for the success of all who are sincerely en- to improve the political tion of mankind This generous feel- ing they cherish towards the most dis- tant nations and it was natural fore that it should be awakened with more than common warmth in behalf of their immediate neighbors But it does not belong to their character as a com- munity to seek the gratification of those feelings in acts which violate their duty as citizens endanger the peace of their and tend to bring upon it the stain of a violated faith towards foreign nations If zealous to confer benefits on others they appear for a moment to lose sight of the permanent obligations imposed upon thorn as citizens they are seldom long misled From all the information I receive confirmed extent by personal observation I am satisfied that no one can now hope to en- gage in such enterprises without en- countering public indignation in tion to the several penalties of the law Recent information also leads me to hope that the emigrants from her ty's Provinces who have sought refuge within our boundaries are disposed to become peaceable residents and to ab- stain from all attempts to endanger the of that country which has offered them an asylum On a review of the occurrences on both sides of the line it is satisfactory to reflect that in almost every complaint against our country the may be traced to emigrants from the Provinces who have sought refuge here In the few instances in which they were aided by citizens of the U IS the acts of these misguided men were not only in direct contravention of the Kws and well known wishes of their own Government but mot with the decided disapprobation of the people of the U S I regret to state the appearance of a different spirit among her Majesty's sub- in the Tho sentiments of hostility to our people and institutions which have been so frequently ed there and the disregard of our rights which have been manifested on some occasions have I arn sorry to say been applauded and encouraged by the ple and even by somo of tho nate local authorities of the The chief officers in Canada fortunately have not entertained the and have probably prevented excesses that must have been fatal to the peace of the countries I look forward anxiously to a period when all the transactions which have grown out nf this condition of our n and which have been made the subjects of complaint and remonstrance bv two Governments respectively shall bo fully examined and the proper tion given where it is due from Nothing has occurred to disturb harmony of our witli tria Belgium Denmark France ples Portugal Prussia or den The internal stile nf Spain has sensibly

not presented by the President of Mexico for the approbation of Congress from a belief that the King of Prussia the ar- in case ol disagreement in the joint commission tn be appointed by the United States and Mexico would not consent to take upon himself that ly office Although not entirely eJ with the course pursued by Mexico I felt no hesitation in receiving in the most conciliatory spirit tho explanation odd red and alto cheerfully consented to a new convention m order to arrange the payments proposed to bo made to our in a manner which while e- qually just to them less on- erous and
