It IS by ... ., u ....... a thorough knowledge of the whole subject that our fellow- citizena are enabled to judge cor rectly of tbe past, a*nd to give a proper direction to the future. Just before the commencement of the last term, the United States had concluded a war with a very powerful nation, on conditions e tjnal and honorable to both parties. The events of that war are too re [rent, and too deeply impressed on the memory of all, to require a de- velopetnent froanrac. Our com merce had been, in a great meas- orc, driven from llu» «ea ; our At lantic and inland frontiers wen- invaded in almost ev «*ry part ; the waste of life abms; our coast and on soma inland fiuritier*. to the do- fence of which our gallant and pa triotic citizens were called, wa< immense ; in addition to which nut less than one From tlie J\'atioual Intel of Tuesday. Yesterday,at 12 o'clock, on taking the «,ath to support the Constitution ot the United States, the following .Speech was delivered by JAMBS MONKOK, IVesi dent of the United States * F ellow- C itizens : 1 shall not attempt to describe the grateful emotions which the new and very distinguished proof <of tbe confiudenc© of ray fellow citiztns, evinced by my re-election lo this high trust, has excited in 01 y bosom. The approbation which it annennces of my conduct, in the preceding term, affords me a con solation which I Uiall profoundly will be detained there by a small regular force, a auffi-ient time to enable our militia to collect, and repair to that oti which the at tack is made. A force adequate to the enemy, collected at that single point,suitablc preparation lor such others as might be me naced, is all that would be re quisile. But, tbrtiucations, tbep the - enemy might go where he pleased, and, changing his position, ond sail ing from place to place, our force must be called out and spread in vast numbers along the whole coast, and om both sides of eve ry bay and river, &8 high up in each as it might b- navigable for sliips of war. By these Fortifi cations, supported by our navy, to which they would afford like support, we should present to other powers an armed front from St. Croix to the Sabine, w hich would protect, in the e- vent of war, our whole coast .md interior from invasion; and even in the wars of other pow ers, in which we wore neutral, they would bo found eminently useful, ni, by keeping their pub lic \.hips at a distance from our ciiios. peace and order in them hundred and would be preserved, and the go- dot I ira were vermnent be-protected\ from in- parts of tj «iae communi which otl powers fered, wi >ot affected by their ac- commodi a*. _ This < »test was considered, at an ei r stage, by my prede cessor, ivil war, in which the parties pre entitled to equal rights i ur ports.
