the great principle of our federative union. If we consider the extent of territory involved in the annexation, Its prospective influence on America, the means by which it has
been accomplished, springing purely from the cholice of the people themselves to share the blessings of our union, the history of the worid may be challenged to fumish a
parallel .. We may rejolce that the tranquil and pervading inftuence of the American principle of self-government was suffcient to defeat the purposes of Britlsh and French
interference...From this example European Governments may learn how vain dplomatic arts and intrigues must ever prove upon this continent against that system of self-
government which seems natural to our soll, and which will ever resist forelgn interference.-James Polk, from the State of the Union Address, December 2, 1845

Oupheld as a model for the idea and implementation of Manifest Destiny
