Peace

Let us pray with earnest fervor that He, the Dispenser of All Good, may speedily remove from us the untold afflictions of war and bring to our dear land the blessings of restored peace

There shall be, as there have always been, peace and friendship between the United States of America and the Ta Tsing Empire, and between their people respectively.

We are at peace with all other nations.

Peace with all nations has been maintained unbroken, domestic tranquillity has prevailed, and the institutions of liberty and justice which the wisdom and virtue of our fathers established remain the glory and defense of their children.

How much better for you and for your people to take the step which at once shortens the war and secures substantial compensation for that which is sure to be wholly lost in any other event!

I trust that they may be enrolled without delay, so as to bring this unnecessary and injurious civil war to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion.

Our country is at peace with all the world.

Peace is the true policy of nations

I congratulate the country upon so happy a termination of a condition of things which seemed at one time seriously to threaten the public peace.

It is by such acts of good will by one to another of the family of nations that fraternal feelings are nourished and the blessings of permanent peace secured.

It is time that this war had ceased.

Peace with all the world is the true foundation of our policy, which can only be rendered permanent by the practice of equal and impartial justice to all.

I can not consent to do so at the sacrifice of the peace and harmony of the country and the clearest convictions of public duty.

With all the powers of the world our relations are those of honorable peace.

A squadron has been maintained, as heretofore, in the Mediterranean, by means whereof peace has been preserved with the Barbary Powers.

Peace and amity are preserved with all by a strict observance on both sides of the rights of each.

The instructions to those plenipotentiaries, disclosing the grounds on which they were authorized to negotiate and conclude a treaty of peace, will be the subject of another communication.

I lay before Congress communications just received from the plenipotentiaries of the United States charged with negotiating peace with Great Britain, showing the conditions on which alone that Government is willing to put an end to the war.
