S.aie waa admitted into thu Union, ehfl re
lamed the ownership of all the vao.tnl lands
.within her limits. The government of that
Slate, it i understood, hns aligned no -portion
of her territory to tho Indians, but as
last as her sctlleinonts advance, lays it oil
'"i? uOUIiie, Proceefl I" survey and
ell ft. This policy manifestly tends, not
only to alarm and irritate the Indians, but
to compel them 10 resort to plunder for sub-
?tSla?Cn il l dePrive th' pnvernment of
that influence and control over them without
which no durable -peace can ever exist be
tween them and the whiles. I trust, there
lore, that a due regard for her own interests,
and from consideration of humanity and
justice, will induce that State to assign a
small portion of her vast domain for the pro
visional occupancy of the small remnants of
tribes within her borders, subject of eonise
A her ownership and eventual jurisdiction.
If she should fail to do thul, tho fulfilment
of our treaty stipulations wilh Mexico, nnd
ptir duty to tho Indians themselves, will, it
is feared, become a subjuct of serious em
barrasment to the Government. It is hoped
however, that a timnlv ni-il imtl provision hi
Texas may avert this evil.
No appropriations for fortifications were
.ruado at the two last sessions of Coneress.
The causa of this omission is, probably, to
be found in a glowing belief that tho 'sys
tem of fortifications adopted in 1816, and
heretofore acted on, requires revision.
The subject certainly deserves full mid
careful investigation, but is should rot bo
delayed longer than can bo avoided. In the
meatitinio Ihero am certain works which
have been commenced some of them near
ly completed designed to protect onr prin
cipal sesipoits from Bos'uu to New 0 leans,

Thu report from the Navy Department

which I ak your approval It exhibits an
UMUrU! fiegree of uciivity in th.i operations

The preparations for the Japan expedition,
to which I have already alluded, tho tn
langements made, for the explorations and
survey oi the Cuba Seas, the Northern Pa
L'i!o and Behriiig's Strait., tho incipient
measure taken towards a lecunnnisancej of

ia ; ihe preparation foi an early exmnina
iou of the nibutarics of the river Li Plata,
.vhich a lecenl deciea of the provisional
duel' of tha Arpsutine Confederation has
ipened to uavagaiiou all these enterprises,
md tho means by which they an) proposed
.0 be accomplished: have commanded my
: n 1 1 appiubatiun, and 1 havo 110 doubt will be
.Koduciive of most useful results.
Two officers of thu navy were heretofore
instructed to explore the whole extent of the
Amazon liver Imm the couliucs of Peru to
is mouth. The return of one of them has !
jlaed in the possession of the Government
in interesting and valuable account o the
haractur and rcsorccs of a country oboun.I
iu in Ilia materials of commerce, and
illicit, if opened lu the industry of the
.voild, will prove an inexhaustible lurid of
.vcal.h. Tha repoil of thio explication will
o commnnicated to jou as soon as it is
:ompleled.
Artong other subjects oirered lo your 110
ico by Itiu Secretary of the Navy. 1 select
or special cimimei.daiiiin, in view of its
annexion with thu interests of the navy,
he plan submitted by him lor the tstablisu
iioiti of a permanent coipsol seamen, and
lie suggestions ho has presented forho re-
rganizalion of tha Naval Academy.
In reference to the liist of these, I tako
iccasion to say that I think it will greatly
mprovo the eilicioncy of tho seiriee, and
hat I regard ils still more entitled lo favor
or tho salutary influence it must exert upon
lie naval discipline, now greatly dituibed
ly tha increasing spirit of insubordination,
estiliiug from our present system. The plan
ii-oposed for the oiyanftaliou of ihe seamen
jruishes a judicious substitute for the law
I September, 1850. abolishing copora: piui-
shmeut, and sutilaelonly sustains the poll
y of that act, under con litiou well adapted
0 maintain the. authority of command and
he order and seem it y of our ships. It is
lelieved thai any change which pi opuses
lermaueiilly to dispe.-.sa wilh this mode of
iiiiiishiueiil, should be proceded by a system
f enlistment which shall supply the navy
vith seamen of thu most meiitoiious class,
1 hose good deportment and pride of charac- '
.lay preuluda all occasion for a icsort to
leuallies of a harsh or degrading nature.
The safely of a ship and her crew is often ;
lepeiideiil upon immediate obedienco lo a
ominand, and tho authority to eufoice it
lust be oqually leady. The arrests of a
efraclory seaman in such moments, not
nly depiives the ship of indispensable aid,
01 imposes a necessity for double service
II others whose fidelity to their duties may
e relied upon in such an emergency. The
xposure to this increased nd arauous labor
iuce. the passage of the act of J850, has
Iready had, to a most ebservable and iuju
;ous extent, the elfecl of preventing Ihe en
stment of Ihe best seamen in tha navy
'ha plan now suggested is designed lo pro
inte a condition of service in wliica this
bjeclion will no longer exist.. The details
f this plan may be established in great part
" not altogether, by Ihe Executive, under
ie authority of existing laws but I have
tought it proper, iii acuordance with the
JSgeslion of the Secretary of ihe Navy, to
nbmil it to your approval.
The establishment of a corpse or appren
. iues for the navy, or boys to bo enlisted
mil ihev become of age, and to be em-
.loyed under such tegulations as the Navy
)epartment may devise, as proposed in the
eport, I cordially approve and commend 10
lour consideration ; and I also concur in the
uggeslion that this systerh for the early
rainin? of seamen may be most usefully
ngrafied upon the service of our merchant
narine. . .
The other proposition or the report lo
vhich I have referred the re-organiation
f the Nary Academy I commend to your
Item ion aa a project worthy or your en
ouragement and support. The valuable
srvices already rendered by this institution
ntille it to the continuance of your fostering
re.
Your attention is respectfully called lo the
report of ihe Postmaster General for Ihe
detailed operation of his Department during
the last lineal yoar, from which it will be
seen thai the receipts from postages for Mint
lime wore less by 91,430,696 than for Ihe
preceding fiscal year, being a decrease of
about 23 per cent.
This diminution is attributable to the re
duction in Ihe rates of postages made by
the act of March 3d, 1851, which reduction
look cll'ect at tho commencement of Ihe lust
fiscal year.
Although in its operation during the last
year, Ihe act referred lo has not fulfilled the
prediction of its friends, by increasing the
correspondence of the country in proportion
lo I ho reduction of postage, I should never
theless question iho policy of reluming lo
higher rales. Experience warrants tho ex
pectation that as iho community becomes
accustomed lo cheap postage, correspond
ence will increase. It is believed thai from
this canso, and from the rapid growth of the
country in population and business, the re
ceipts of tha Department must ultimately
exceed its expuuses, and that flie connlrv
may safely rely upon ihe continuance of the
present cheap rate of postage.
In former messages I have, among other
things, respectfully recommended to the
consideration of Congress the piopiiety and
necessity of further legislation lor the protec
tion and punishment of foreign consols resi
ding in ihe United Slates; lo revive with
certain modifications the act of I0;h March,
