He ended with, "And may He who searches the hearts of the children of men prosper your exertions to secure the blessings of peace and promote the highest welfare of your country."https://www.infoplease.com/primary-sources/government/presidential-speeches/state-union-address-john-quincy-adams-december-6-1825 State of the Union Address: John Quincy Adams (December 6, 1825) www.infoplease.com Notably, the President commented on the work of the West India Squadron of the Navy that was tasked with suppression of piracy and the African slave trade.
