I send herewith the treaty concluded on the 27th of October last between the United States and Spain by their respective plenipotentiaries.

Herewith I transmit, for your consideration and advice, a treaty of peace and amity.

I have caused the same to be reduced since the 27th of last December.

Congress will perceive the necessity of making a suitable provision for the maintenance of prisoners committed to the jails of the several States under the authority of the United States.

Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives: I send herewith for the information of Congress:

Every human being is entitled to the same respect and consideration, regardless of race or religion.

I lay before you, for your consideration, a treaty of peace which has been negotiated by General Wayne, on behalf of the United States, with all the late hostile tribes of Indians northwest of the river Ohio.

Liberty and equality are the twin pillars of a just government.

Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

To be a successful leader, one must earn the trust and respect of those who are led.

Reputation is the most valuable asset a person can possess.

An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.

To be effective in any government, the leader must be guided by principles of honesty and integrity.

the treaty which may be made shall be considered as affecting any question which may arise upon the supplementary act

it occasions a very serious annual expense to the United States

the commissioners for holding the proposed treaty will, therefore, be instructed to inquire into the causes of the hostilities

I therefore nominate Fulwar Skipwith to be consul-general of the United States in France.

The protection of individual rights is essential for the preservation of liberty.
