To my Friends throughout the Union. The reasons which influenced me in accepting the nomination for the Presidency, made by a Con- vention of my friends in last, at Baltimore, have lost much of their original force. 1 been, not only most violently assailed by the Ultraists of both parties, but had been threatened with impeach- ment for having negotiated a Treaty proposing the annexation of Texas to the Union, as a portion of its tertitory, and for having adopted, precautionary measures, clearly falling within the range of exe- cutive discretion, to ward off any blow which might have been seriously aimed at the peace and safety of the country in the event of the ratification of the treaty by the Senate. The epinion of a per- son, once ranked amongst the distinguished jurists of the country, found its way into the newspapers, apparently as the precursor of such proceeding. A report had also been made, at a previous session of Congress, by a committee of the House of Repre- sentatives, which proceeded from the pen ofa man who filied no limited space in the eye of the world, in which—because of the exercise of the Vete power in arrest of the unconstitutional and perni- cious measures of a United States Bank, and a do- nation to the States of so much of the public re- venne as was derived fromthe public lands, ata moment of great embarrassment to the Treasury, and when loans were necessary to sustain the Go-. vernment—1 was charged with the commission of cave offences in the above particulars, and with leserving all the Fees and disgrace flowing from the high power of impeachment, a measure, as it was intimated, only not resorted to by the House because of a doubt entertained whetherthe preceed- ing would be sustained by public sentiment. I had, it is true, protested aginst that report as origi- nating in wrong, and dictated by party rancor and malevolence; but my protest was refused a place on the journals of the House, and thus, in future times, my name might have been tarnished by the fact of a solemn declaration highly implicating my character, remaining uncontradicted and unre- versed on the public journals. The party majorit} which had sanctioned a proceeding #0 unjust had, it is true, been swept out of existence by the elec- tions which shortly afterwards followed; but at the time of my acceptance of the nomination, although a large and overwhelming majority of the opposite party had been brought into power by the people, as iffor the express purpose of sustaining me in what I had done, yet that very party had made no public movement indicative of a friendly feel- ing, and a portion of its members, who seemed to control the rest, exhibited the bitterest hostility, and the most unrelenting spirit of opposition. Un- der these circumstances, there was but one course left to me consistent with honor, which was, to maintain my position unmoved by threats, and un- intimidated by denunciations. Those of my coun- trymen, who had come to my support, had done so ina selt-eacrificing spirit, without the mdulgence of itt other expectation than that my character should be vindicated, and that the policy of my administration should be sustained.; and J felt that it would better become me to abide the most sig- nal defeat than to incur the disgrace of deprecating the action of a party, the chief object of whose leaders seemed to be to fasten upon me disgrace. Thad also an indistinct hope, that the great ques- tion of the annexation of Texas might, in some degree, be controlled by the position 1 occupied.— These motives induced my acceptance of the no- mination made by my friends Betore the close of the session ot Congress, however, developments were so clvarly and distinctly made as to the threa. tened impeachment, that no trace of such a m sure was left. Mr.J. Q. Adams’ report, implicat- ing my motives and conduct in my Vetoes of the Bank ‘and other bills, was deprived of all of its force and furtive effect, by a Report made by a committee, of which Mr, Ellis, of New York, was$hairman, accompanied by resolutions, which passed the House of Representatives some few davs before the close of the session by a large and commanding majority, not only rescuing my mo- tives from all imputation, but justitying and uphol- ding my policy. The voice ot the People in the elect‘ons of 1842 was thus directly responded to by that of their Representatives, and but litte re- mained for me personally, either to expect or de- sire. Since the adjournment of Congress, the lan- guage of manv of the leading presses of the coun- try, and resolutions adopted by large assemblages of the People iu their primary meetings, have still further endorsed the proceedings of the House in approbation of the acts of the Administration. | could not, however, look exclusively to my own wishes, which would have led me immediately to retire from a contest which seemed no longer to be possessed of an object worthy of much further attention. But [was not at liberty todo so with- out first consulting with such of my most promi- nent and steadfast friends as [ could most readily conter with; men who had shared with me in much of the abuse which I had encountered, and would partially have participated in all the obloquy, if any, which might, in the future, attach to me. So far asl have been able to consult them, they have yielded their assent tothe course which my own judgment suggusts as proper; and 1_now an- nounge to them and the country, my withdrawal from the Presidential canvass. | _ i T cannot omit to accompany this public annun- ciation with a few remarks, addressed to the re- publican portion of what was called the whig party of 1840. | make no appeal to that other portion, which was formerly known during the early period of our political history, as federalists, at a later day as national republicans, and now pass under the general appellation of whigs. Such an appeal would be wholly out of place, since their political principles are entirely at war with those I have ad- vocated through life. I mean no imputation on their motives or their patriotism. I doubt not that the old federal party, in the lead of which stood the elder Adams, were as aod and sincerely con- vinced of the necessity of the alien and sedition lawa, as the present is of that of a bank of the Uni- ted States, with other measures equally latitudi- nous, along with the abolition of the veto power, whereby to convert the government into a mere majority machine—to make it the government of a single nation, instead of what itis, a political cam- act between free, sovereign and independent tates, by which so much power, and no more, has been granted to a common agent of all the States, as they esteemed to be necessary for the romotion of their nvutual happiness. No; to them have nothing to say. Ii I have received their support at any time, it has been, not from attach- ment to me or my political (hla but from some supposed influence which I might bring to bear, as a secondary agent, in advancing their pur- oses. All the obligations which I have received ‘or such reasons, have been more than counterba- lanced by the untiring opposition which I have en- countered at their hands since | attained my pre- sent station, and the constant and unmitigated abuse which their leaders have poured out ina tor- rent upon my head; designed, as I verily believe in the first instance, to drive me from t ne Rovere ment ; and in the last to overwhelm me with oblo- quy andreproach. But I have « right to address myselt to those, who, like myself, co-operated with them in the contest ot 1840—who were, and always had been, the advocates of the principles of the old republican party—whose strenuous efforts have al- ways been directed to preserving the compact of union, unbroken and inviolate—who have eustain- ed at all times the principles of the republican par- ty of 1793-'9—who have participated, from time to time, in all, Republican triumphs—whose fathers were victorious over the elder Adams in the elec tion of Mr. Jefferson, as they themselves were over the younger in the election of General Jack- son. To this portion of the Whig party of 1840, I feel that I have ajfull right to address myself ; and T now seriously put it to them to say, whether any expectation of good to the country which they had formed in the election of General Harrison and myself to the Presidency and Vice Presidency has been disappointed? Many of us had been thrown into opposition to General Jackson during his last term, having voted for him upon his first and se- cond election, because of certain doctrines put forth in his Proclamation, and because of certain measures which followed that celebrated State pa- per. Our nh met proceeded from no spirit of taction, but from what we esteemed it to be, a sa- cred regard to the high and essential principles of the Republican party—and regarding hie successor agin a great degree identified with what we es teemed as errors in General Jackson’s Administra- tion, our opposition was continued to him. The state and condition of the country also seemed to require change in the general Administration. Alave you been disappointed in the reform which you promised yourselves by going into that con- test? You demanded a rigid economy to be ob- verved in the public expendjtures. Have you in this been disappointed? You required account- ability on eRe g of all publig agents. Has it not been fulfilled? Let the fact that a defaulter has become almost unknown for the last three years answer the question. You asked that a course of ING, AUGUST 22, 1844. policy sheuld be adopted which should pu reform the currency. Was the currency, of the cauatry ever in a better condition? Let the rate ot the Exchanges between all parts of the country answer the inquiry. Hasthe day ever been, when the enrrency was sounder or the rates of Exchange lower? You sought once more to put the mechan- ical arts in active operation, and to relieve com- merce from the blight which had tallen upon it. ‘The first has revived, and the last has unfurled is saile, which’ now whiten almost every sea, The paralysis which had fallen on public credit, to an extent so great that the poor sum of $5,000,000 of Government Stock was d to European and American capitalists without our being able to tind for it a purchaser, has d away, and a weil supplied Exchequer gives evidence not only of the expansion of trade, but of the stable basis on which tests the public credit. The very stock for which no bidders could at one tine be found, now readily commands in the market an. « vance of fitteen or twenty dollars in the hundred.

Beginning by increasing the derange- menis of businessfor years, atiended in its mid career with comparative prosverity, then resorting to efforts by all its large means to force # recharter, and ending ifs existence umid: the cures aud de- nunciations of the many it had ruined, Most of you had, like myself, through all time, pronounced the Bank to be unconstitutional, Hud your opinions on this subject undergone a change in 1840, and did- you contemplate that General Harrison and myself—who during the whole contest avowed our opinions to be unchanged in that respect, im numerous addresses to the public, would be de- serving of denunciation if either of usshould refuse to perjure ourselves by sanctioning a Bank cbarter, which, believing it to be unconstitutional, our solemn oath of office required us to vote against or veto? Tell me, moreover, brother Republicans of 1940, had you then brought yourselves to the con- clusion that, even admitting a possible abuse of the Veto power, it Was proper to erase from the Con- stitution that great barrier and check to unconsti- tutional and highly inexpedient legislation, thereby making the will of Congress supreme and installing, the majority of that body in the full po-session of all the powers of Government? Or did you, or do you now still cling to the opinion in which the qualified Veto originated, that a Government with out checks and balances isthe worst form of Oligar chy—and that too many guards, in order to secure public Lida te cannot be thrown over its different departments? If, indeed, you are advocates of a change so vita! as that proposed, then may not only the Garrisons end. Tanpans of ourown country re- pice, but a shout should ascend from the Abolition lonvention ‘fof the whole world,” at the tact that our Federal system bad given way before the power of a consolidated govern- ment, whose will uttered torth by sectional ma- jorities was absolute, admitting of no check or re- sistance from any quarter whatever. It, indeed, these be your opinions, then have I most grievously disappointed the hoyes.in which you indu'ged in connection with my election and my administra- tion. I must, nevertheless, most solemnly aver that had I been aware that such would have been expected and required ef me—if I could have be- lieved that you, whose candidate I was peculiarly considered, and to conciliate whom I was nomi~ nated tor the Vice Presidency, would have requir- ed-of me in the contingency which unhappily oc curred, that 1 should commence my administration with aa act of perjury, and sanctioned measures abhorent to every principle of my past life and at war with the pecmwestt of the) country and the continuance of Jiberty, 1 would not have suflered my name, humble as it was, to have been breathed in the canvass. No, I claim the-proud privilege of an American citizen, to think or myeelf on all subjects,and to act in pursuance of my own convic- tions—and it would require a total change of my nature in order to convert me into a mere instru- ment of party, or of party dictation. { would appeal not only to yourselves but to all my countrymen to say, whether in the matters ap- pertaining to our foreign aflairs, they anticipated more success in the oeeeee difficulties, and in the formation of highly important ‘Treaties than it has been my province to cause to be negotiated Long standi difficulties have been seine ait ficulties which threatened most seriously the peace of the couniry. Nor has apy opportunity been lost tor enlarging the commerce of the country, and giving new markets to our agricultural and manu- factured products. If the country has not reaped full iruition of benefit from all the Treaties thus negotiated, it surely has not been the fault of the administration. The loss of two of those Treaties through the action of the Senate, cannot but. be deplored by me as great public calamities, By the Treaty with the German States, we had opened the way to a more extended commerce with 27,- 000,000 of people, in our cotton, tobacco, rice and lard, at duties on tobacco, rice and tard greatly re- duced, and with a stipulation forthe free admis- sion of cotton ; while we had agreed to receive at somewhat reduced duties articles from those States which entered into the most limited competition, if at all, with a few similar articles of American product. The Treaty was bea ill interesing from the fact, that for the first time, after repeated struggles on the part of my predecessers to accom- plish a reduction of duty on tobacco, the Govern- ment had succeeded in doing so. It was nego- tiated under resolutions originating with the to- bacco States, and with the presumed sanction of Congress, who hud raised, as it is believed, the mission to Vienna, from a second to a first rate mission, with direct reference to the tobacco interest, and had also appropriated asum of money, some years ago, to enable the bxecutive to em- ploy an agent in Germany to acquire information as to the tobacco trade, the services of which agent hed only ceased a short time prior to the negotiation of the Poh A My hope stili however is, that the benefits of the Treaty and the Treaty itself may not be lost to the country. I think it proper to add that there was no design to deprive the House of Representatives of any rightful and constitutional action over the subject, which it might properly exercise. It was, on the contrary, my intention to have submitted the treaty, and all apers calcalated to elucidate it, to the House of Representatives, if it had been ratitied by the Sen- ate, for such action as they might have deemed it proper to adopt—a course pursued in all cases in which the action of the House is required to vote supplies of money, or fulfil any other object falling within the scope of their power. In negotiating the Treaty for the annexation of Texas, which was rejected by the Senate, motives have been ascribed to the Administration which had no place in ite mind or heart. One gesiiamny, occupying a prominent place in the Democratic party, whether for good or evil it does not become me to say, has assigned in an address recently de- livered in Missouri, two prominent motives for its negotiation; Ist, Personal ambition, and, 2dly, a purpose to dissolve the Union. Mr. Clay also, ina recent letter written to the editor of a newspaper in Alabama, has called the Treaty infamous, and ascribed to in its origin, sinister objects. 1 repel both their agsaults upon the Treaty and its negotiators. What object of mere personal am- bition in any way connected with office could have influenced the Admimstration in negotiating the Treaty? The public archives furnished the strongest reasons to believe that the Treaty would have met the unqualified appioval of both Mr. Clay and Mr. Van Buren. While the one was Secretary of State to Mr. Adame, and the other to General Jackson, each in his turn attempted to obtain the annexation of Texas. Mr. Clay’s negotiation was carried on with Mexico in the third year of her revolutionary strug- gle, while in regarded her as a revolted Province, and her armies were in possession of many of the strongholds of the country. What reason, then, could I huve had for supporting for an instant that a Treaty with Texas, after eight years of actual independence, with no Mexican soldier within her territory, and subject only to occasional border interruptions, could or would have met with opposition from him or his friends? and meeting with no such opposition on the part either of Mr.Van Buren or Mr Clay, and their friends, it would puzzle @ sounder casuist than | profess to be,to conceive in what possible way it could have interrupted the Telations of those two gentlemen, who stood at the moment at the head of their Tespective partirs, and were looked upon by all as competitors for the Presidency. {tis well known that, when the ne- gotiation for the acquisition of Texas was com- menced, and up to a period succeeding the signing of the Treaty, it was my confident conviction, ex- pressed to many, that it would, from the circum- stances [have stated, receive the support both of Mr. Clay aod Mr. Van Buren, so that neither would be affected by its negotiation. Mf it had been charged that the Administration was prompted by the ambition of securing the great- est boon to the country, and the whole country, in the acquisition of a territory so important in itelt, and so inseparably connected with the interests of every State in the Union, and every interest of the Union, t would have ticea guilty, without a mo- ment of hesitation. 1 confess I felt ambitious te add another bright star to the A t have been a source of pride to me, if that measure had been carried, to have witneseed from, the retirement that awaits me, the annual ex- twise and foreign trade, and the of our agriculture and manu- rapid growth of Texas, which would have lollowed the ratification of the Treaty.

This was the kind of ambition which gotiation of the Treaty. sole honor which | coveted, and all that [ now de- sire. What sinister motives could have originated the negotiation at this time, that did not exist in 18272 What was there now to have rendered @ Treaty infamous which did not exist then? If it had a Treaty of Limits with Mexico, I ask if, in 1827, we had not also a Trea- ty of Limits with Spain? We had recognised the independence of Mexico, and, theretore, vir- tually claimed that we had a_ perfect right to treat with her for the annexation ot Texas, and in fact, if we had so pleased, for M years ego we recognised Texai endent, and surely our right to negotiate with er, implied no worse faith than in 1827 to vego- tiate with Mexico for her. The idea that because the existence of any nation, of our Federative country in the wot rommpted the ne- ication was 1 be said that we must forever after deny to all parts of the terriuory of such nation the right cf revolution or change, can only excite, with an American ci:izep, a emile. ‘Wasit deemed necessary, in 1827, to consult the States, to consult the Senate, or to consult the House of Representatives, or the People? Was it considered necessary to obtain the atsent of every State, as would seem now to be proposed, before forming a Treaty of Annexation? If the essent of every State is necessary, then may we bid adieu to the prospect of annexation, now or hereafter. The Constitution devolves the treaty-making power on two-thirds of the States, through their Senatore, and it is altogether a new doctrine that a 1 should not be negotiated without the ascent of all. Danger to the Union through the exercise of the power of a constitutional majority in the moking of a Treaty, is a doctrine for the, firet, time ad- vanced, and having no foundation in point of fact.
