While the magnitude of their interests convinces me that no thanks can be adequate to the honor they have conferred, it admonishes me that the best return I can make is the zealous dedication of my humble abilities to their ser

4、 States, to superintend their foreign and their confederate relations, to manage their revenue, to command their forces, and, by communications to the Legislature, to watch over and to promote their interests generally. And the principles of action by which I shall endeavor to accomplish this circle

9、匯霧。The management of the public revenue-that searching operation in all governments-is among the most delicate and important trusts in ours, and it will, of course, demand no inconsiderable share of my official solicitude. Under every aspect in which it can be considered it would appear that advanta

10、ge must result from the observance of a strict and faithful economy. This I shall aim at the more anxiously both because it will facilitate the extinguishment of the national debt, the unnecessary duration of which is incompatible with real independence, and because it will counteract that tendency

11、to public and private profligacy which a profuse expenditure of money by the Government is but too apt to engender. Powerful auxiliaries to the attainment of this desirable end are to be found in the regulations provided by the wisdom of Congress for the specific appropriation of public money and th

13、ects of impost with a view to revenue, it would seem to me that the spirit of equity, caution and compromise in which the Constitution was formed requires that the great interests of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures should be equally favored, and that perhaps the only exception to this rule s

16、that salutary lesson of political experience which teaches that the military should be held subordinate to the civil power. The gradual increase of our Navy, whose flag has displayed in distant climes our skill in navigation and our fame in arms; the preservation of our forts, arsenals, and dockyard

17、s, and the introduction of progressive improvements in the discipline and science of both branches of our military service are so plainly prescribed by prudence that I should be excused for omitting their mention sooner than for enlarging on their importance. But the bulwark of our defense is the na

18、tional militia, which in the present state of our intelligence and population must render us invincible. As long as our Government is administered for the good of the people, and is regulated by their will; as long as it secures to us the rights of person and of property, liberty of conscience and o

19、f the press, it will be worth defending; and so long as it is worth defending a patriotic militia will cover it with an impenetrable aegis. Partial injuries and occasional mortifications we may be subjected to, but a million of armed freemen, possessed of the means of war, can never be conquered by

20、a foreign foe. To any just system, therefore, calculated to strengthen this natural safeguard of the country I shall cheerfully lend all the aid in my power.?深打欺械姥嘱壓才峠扮豚斤徭喇屓軒更撹議璃于厘音嬉麻脹箔制寄嘱錦嗤議園崙匆音氏策篇屓嵶将刮侭験嚠議匯訳嗤吩縮儺嘱錦哘輝船奉噐猟郊屓軒厘忽今嘱厮聞徭失議縄崢闘剌壓劭垓議今囃婢幣阻厘断議砂今室宝才嘱並蕗李書朔珊倬幟化制秀。略擦厘断議勣毘、嘱諮垂才鷹遊壓厘断曾倖汚嶽議嘱並儺膳才嘱並室宝圭中哈

27、sors, and with veneration to the lights that flow from the mind that founded and the mind that reformed our system. The same diffidence induces me to hope for instruction and aid from the coordinate branches of the Government, and for the indulgence and support of my fellow-citizens generally. And a

32、hat by the accession of a Republican Administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. Indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been open to their inspection.

33、 It is found in nearly all the published speeches of him who now addresses you. I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that: I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do

34、 so, and I have no inclination to do so.掴何幗巒議繁酎心軟栖贋壓彭夘打慌才騎峇屓吭龍彭麿断議夏恢、才峠才繁附芦畠繍氏竃裡。宸嶽夘打蒸涙苧崘議尖喇。寔議並糞頁恷嗤薦議屬象工寄社肇殊篇。低断辛參貫麿叱窄侭嗤議處讐嶄窟宸匯泣！祥頁壓壓低断中念處讐議宸繁。厘峪嬬貫宸乂處讐嶄薬僉匯鐙輝扮厘窟燕傚冱！厘旺音二夕岷俊仇賜寂俊仇肇孤膚們笛巒議降箭。厘佚厘短嗤宸劔恂議栽隈幡薦厘匆音買宸劔肇恂。Those who nominated and elected me did so with full knowledge that I had made this and many

35、 similar declarations and had never recanted them; and more than this, they placed in the platform for my acceptance, and as a law to themselves and to me, the clear and emphatic resolution which I now read:戻兆才僉訟厘議宸乂繁頼畠賠萱厘厮恂阻宸倖蕗苧才俯謹窃貌蕗苧遇拝畳音個延音叙泌緩壓屓跨傚冱嶄厘俊追僉訟繁議匯賠漣苧鳩議畳咏宸斤麿断、斤厘脅頁匯倖隈舵厘壓傚響匯演畳咏Resolved, Th

38、I only press upon the public attention the most conclusive evidence of which the case is susceptible that the property, peace, and security of no section are to be in any wise endangered by the now incoming Administration. I add, too, that all the protection which, consistently with the Constitution

39、 and the laws, can be given will be cheerfully given to all the States when lawfully demanded, for whatever cause - as cheerfully to one section as to another.厘壓嶷賦宸乂麼嫖峪頁巷巉燕苧匯倖恷亙苧議並糞短嗤陳倖仇曝議夏恢、才峠才芦畠氏鞭欺軸繍貧販議屓軒議們吭盃係。厘珊勣紗貧匯鞘音胎竃噐採嶽尖喇峪勣光巒議勣箔栽隈屓軒脅氏互佶仇公嚠嚥隈才隈舵匯崑議隠擦！斤光巒音氏搾緩院泳。There is much controversy about th

40、e delivering up of fugitives from service or labour. The clause I now read is as plainly written in the Constitution as any other of its provisions:斤噐撚卦毛閲捲汚叨才捲斥叨宀宸倖諒籾嗤載謹蛍灘。壓厘傚下匯倖訳錘宸倖訳錘才販採凪麿訳錘匯劔脅頁炎苧壓隈戦No person held to service or labour in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, sha

42、provision was intended by those who made it for the reclaiming of what we call fugitive slaves; and the intention of the lawgiver is the law. All members of Congress swear their support to the whole Constitution - to this provision as much as to any other. To the proposition, then, that slaves whose

43、 cases come within the terms of this clause shall be delivered up their oaths are unanimous. Now, if they would make the effort in good temper, could they not with nearly equal unanimity frame and pass a law by means of which to keep good that unanimous oath?坐涙夘諒宸匯訳錘議匡羨宀頁勣箔拷珊厘断宥械侭傍議毛蘭笛船隈舵崙匡宀議朕議祥頁隈舵。

45、red, it can be of but little consequence to him or to others by which authority it is done. And should anyone in any case be content that his oath shall go un-kept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how it shall be kept?宸匯訳錘頁喇忽社珊頁喇巒屓軒栖糞仏嗤彭音揖議心隈徽糞縞貧宸旺掲焚担載嶷勣議諒籾。泌惚宸倖笛船勣撚卦椎担音砿陳倖郊圭栖糞仏斤麿賜凪麿繁栖傍脅頁短

During that period

51、fifteen different and greatly distinguished citizens have in succession administered the executive branch of the Government. They have conducted it through many perils, and generally with great success. Yet, with all this scope of precedent, I now enter upon the same task for the brief constitutiona

It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination. Continue to

57、範協葎郡菟賜醐凋。Descending from these general principles, we find the proposition that in legal contemplation the Union is perpetual confirmed by the history of the Union itself. The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed, in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured an

58、d continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It was further matured, and the faith of all the then thirteen States expressly plighted and engaged that it should be perpetual, by the Articles of Confederation in 1778. And finally, in 1787, one of the declared objects for ordaining and esta

59、blishing the Constitution was to form a more perfect Union.But if destruction of the Union by one or by a part only of the States be lawfully possible, the Union is less perfect than before the Constitution, having lost the vital element of perpetuity.It follows from these views that no State upon i

60、ts own mere motion can lawfully get out of the Union; that resolves and ordinances to that effect are legally void, and that acts of violence within any State or States against the authority of the United States are insurrectionary or revolutionary, according to circumstances.I therefore consider th
