tiling for numberless blessings conferred upon us a a people Blessed -nial seasons the husbandman has his garners filled witn abundance and the necessaries of life not to spear: of its luxuries abound in every direction While in some other nations steady and industrious labor can hardly find the means of subsistence the greatest evil which we have to encounter is a surplus of production beyond the home demand which seeks and wit1 difficulty finds a partial market in other regions The health ol the country with partial exceptions has for the past year been well pre served and under their free and wise institutions the United States are rapidlv advancing towards the consummation of the high destiny which an overruling Providence eems to have marked out for them Exempt from domestic convulsion and at peace with all the world we are left free to consult as to tlie best means of securing and advancing the happiness of the people Such are the circumstances under which yoH now assemble in your respective chambers and which should lead us to unite in praise and thanksgiving to that great Being who made us and who pieserves us as a nation I congratulate you fellow citizens on tlie happy change in the aspect of our foreizn affairs since my last annual Message Causes of complaint at that lime existed between the United States and Great Britain which attended by irritating circumstances threatened most seriously the public peace The difficulty of adjusting amicably the questions at issue between the two countries was in no small degree augmented by the lapse of time since thy had their origin The opinions entertained by the Executive on several of the leading topics in dispute were frankly set forth in the Message at the opening of your late session The appointment of a special minister by Great Britain to tlie States with power to negotiate upon most of the points of difference indicated a desire on her part amicably to adjust them and that minister was met by the Executive in the same spirit which had dictated his mission The Treatv consequent thereon having been dulv ratified by the two Governments a copy together with the correspondence which accompanied it is herewith communicated I trust that whilst you may see in it nothing objectionable it may be the means of reserving for an indefinate period the amicable relations appily existing between the two Governments The question of peace or war between the United States and Great Britain is a question of the deepest interest not only to themselves but to the civilized world since it is scarcely possible that a war could exist between them without endangering the peace of Christendom The immediate effect of the Treaty upon ourselves will be felt in the security afforded to mercantile enterprise which no longer apprehensive of interruption adventures its speculations in the most distant sea and freighted with the diversified productions of every land returns to bless our own There is nothing in the Treaty which in the slightest degree coinproruits the honor or dignity of either nation Next to the settlement of the boundary line which must always be a matter of difficulty between States as between individuals the question which seemed to threaten the greatest embarrassment was that connected with the African slave trade By the 10th article of the Treaty of Client it was expressly declared that "whereas the traffic in slaves is irreconcilable with the principles of humanity and justice and whereas both His Majesty and the United states are desirous of continuing tlieir efforts to promote iu entire abolition it is hereby agreed that both the contracting parties shall use their best endeavors to accomplish so il liable an object" In the enforcement of the laws and treaty stipulations of Great Britain a practice had threat-el to urow irp on the part of in cruisers of subjecting t-i Visitation sliijis sailing under the Arm-ricau flag which while it seriously involved our maritime right would subject to vexation a branch of our trade which was diil'y increasing and which required the fostering care of this Government And although Lord Aberdeen in his corresrionilenee with the American Knvoys at London cpres-lv drselaimed all ni'lit to detain an American ship on the lireli -eas even if found with a cargo of staves on board and restricted the British pretension to a mere claim lo visit slid enquire yet it could not well he discerned by lire Executive of the United States Innv such visit and enquiry could be made without detention on the voy ae and consequent interruption to the trade It was rc-g ir'k'd as the rrhl of seareli presented only in a new nu and expresud in different words and I therefore it it t' i in duty distinctly to declare my annual message to Congress that no sueh concession could be i'le and that (he I ruitcd States had both the will and lie ability to enforce their own laws and to protect their l'ej from heme

there be taken into account the immense losses sustained in the dishonor of numerous banks il is less a matter of surprise that insolvency should have visited many of our fellow citizens than that so

Indemnities) was ijr2304c3 68 The receipts into the Treasury during the three first quarters of the present year from all sources amount to 78 of which more than fourteen million were received from customs and about one millionfrom tlie public lands The receipts for the fourth quarter are estimated at nearly eight millions of which four millions are expected from Customs and three millions and a half from Loans and Treasury notes The expenditures of the first three quarters of the present year exceed twenty six millions and those estimated for tlie fourth quarter anionntlo about eight millions and it is anticipated there will be a deficiency of half a million on the 1st January but that the amount of outstanding warrants (estimated at will leave an actual balance of about in the Treasury Among the expenditures of the ear are more than eight millions for the public debt and on account of the distribution to the States of ihe proceeds of sales of the public lands The piescnt tariff of duties was somewhat hastily and hurriedly passed near tlie close of the lale session ot Congress That il should have defects can therefore be surprising to no one To remedy such defects as may be found to exist in many of iu numerous provisions will not fail to claim your serious attention It may well merit enquiry whether the exaction of all duties in cash does not call for the introduction of a system which has proved highly beneficial in countries where it has been adopted I refer to the Warehousing System The first and most prominent effect which it would produce would be to protect the market alike against redundant or deficient supplies of foreign fabrics) both of which in the long run are injurious as well to the manufacturer as the importer The quantity of goods in store being at all limes readily known it would enable the importer with an approach to accuracy to ascertain the actual wants of the market and to regulate himself accordingly If however he should fall into error by importing an excess above the public wants he could readily correct its evils by availing himself of the benefits and advantages of the system thus established In the storehouse tlie goods imported would await the demands of the market and their issues would he governed by the fixed principles of demand and supply Thus anapproximation would be made to a steadiness and iiiiilormily of price which if attainable would conduce to the decided advantage of mercantile arid inechanicil operations The apprehension may be well entertained that without something to ameliorate the rigor of cash payments the entire import trade may fall into the hands of a few wealthy cepitalists in this coifntry and in Europe The small importer who requires all the money he can raise for investments abroad and who can but ill afford to pay the lowest duty would have to subduct in advance a portion of his funds in order to pay the duties and would lose the interest upon the amount thus paid for all the time the iods might remain unsold which might absorb his pro-tits The rich capitalist abroad as well as al home would thus possess after a short time and almost exclusive-monopoly of the import trade and laws designed lor tlie benefit of nil would thus operate for the benefit of tlie few a result wholly uncongenial with the spirit of ourinstitutions and anti republican in all Its tendencies The Warehousing? systeui would enable the importer to watch the mar- k-t and to select his own time lor offering liia goods for sile A profitable portion of tlie carrying trade in arti- Pickens are candidates and our informant states that the friends of all four candidates appear quite sanguine of the election of llicir favorite Tlie general impression ap pears to be that there will

supplying a paper medium of exchange at all times convertible into gold and dicial tribunal which imposed the fine the remission at this day may be regarded as not unjust or inexpedient The voice of the civil authority was heard amidst the glitter of arms and obeyed by those who held the sword thereby giving additional silver should be attained The Board thus constituted has eiven as much

which may be br iken Imt union founded in an attachment of States and individuals for each other This union in sentiment and feehnc can only be preserved by the adoption of that cour-e of policy which neither givm- exclusive benefits to some nor imposing unnecessary burdens upon others shall consult the interests of all by pursuing a course of moderation and thereby seeking to harmonize public opinion and causing the people every where to feci and know that the Government is careful of the interests of all alike Nor is there any subject in regard to which moderation connected with a wise discrimination is more necessary than in the imposition of duties on imports -Whether reference be had to revenue the primary object in the imposition of taxes or 10 the incidents which necessarily tlow from tlieir imposition ihis is entirely true Extravagant duties defeat their end and object not only by exciting in the public mind an hostility to the manufacturing interests but by inducing a
