It it now quite evident that the financial
tilber.to ties of •the Government will require a
modllication:of the tarill during your present
SeMSIOII, for the purpose of mareasing the
revenue In this aspect, I
desire to reiter
ate the recommendation contained in my
last two annual messages, in tavor of tutpos
rug specific nosiestl of ad valorem 'duties on
all important articles to which the4e can ho
properly applied. From long observation
and expentnee L am convinced that specific
duties ■r6 necessary, both to protect the
revenue and secure to our manufacturing
❑ttereeus that amount of incidental encour
agement which unavoidably results from a
revenue tariff.
As an abstrsct roposition it may he ad•
' mitred that ad valorem duties would, in
theory, he the most just and equal. But if
the rxpertence of this and all other commer
cial nations has demonstrated that such du
ties ea - oriel be assessed and collected without
great fran upon the revenue, then it is the
part of wisdom to resort to specific duties.
Indeed. from the very nature of an ad valor
- CID duty, iiiikinusUe the result. Under it
lire inevitable conlfkluenee is, that foreign
goods will be entered at less than their true
value. The treasury will, therefore, lose
the duty on the diflerence between their real
and fictitious value, and to this extent we
are defriaudtd
The temptations which ad valorem duties
present to a dishonest importer arc irresisti
ble. His object-is to puss his goods thibut
the custom house at the very lowest valua
tion necessary to save then/ from contisca
den Ih that he too often fill cca.(l.4 in spite
of the vigilance of the revenue elliverii.-d
Hence the resort to false nivoices t 0110 (or
the purchaser and another fur the custom
house, an il to tither, expedients to defraud
the floverninint:` The honest importer pro.'
duces lits invoice to the collector, stating the
actual price at which he pid•ohafied the arti
cles abroad. Net so the dishonest importer
and the agent of the foreign Manufacturet..
And here it may bo observed that a very
large ineportiou of the manufactures impost
tell from abroad are consigned for solo to
commission merchants who are mere agents
employed by the menulacturers. In such
cases no actual Fide has been made to fix
'heir - value. The Toreigii mairufaclurer;
Ire he dishonest, prepares an invoice of the
goods, not at their actual value, bed at the
very lowest sale necessary to escape detec
lion. In this manner the dishonest. import
er and the, foreign manufacturer enjoy a de
cided advantage over the honest merchant.
They arc thus enabled to undersell the fair
trader, and drive him nom the market. In
fact, the operation of this system has al
ready driven from the pursuits of honorable
commerce many of that class of regular and
conscientious merchants whose charaCter,
throughout the world, is the pride of our
country
The:remedy for these evils id to be found
in specific dot s , B ' o far as this mar be prac•
f l y a bl e . They ill..petise with any iiiipitry,at
the custom ttoit4 trite the actual cost or
value of the article nod it pot a the precise
amount of duty previously fixed by law.
They present no temptations . to tie apprim•
ers of foteign goods, who receive but small
rftleries, and might, by unilei valuation in a
few eases, render themselves independent.
lb aiden, specific ditties best conform to the
requisition in the l'onstitution that •` no
prefelente !:hall be given by any tegiliation
of commerce or revenue to the ports or one
Stale over those of anothir '' hider out
ar11.171,,,emn .system such referencia ore to
some extent inevitable, arid co:aphints have
often le en mode that the spirit of this pro
vision has hi l n violated by alool.r apprai.e
ment of ilicsarne 111 tleki nt 14.1' port than
at another.
An impro,sion strangely enough peel ails
to some extent that the Btweilie duties are
necesNarilv protective dutii , Nothii.g can
Is• more falacious nrrat Britain glories in
free trade. and yet her white revenue from
imports Is at the present moment collected
under a uystem ul 4ipeeifle duties It 18 a
tanking fact in this connection that, in the
commercial treaty of the 231 of January,
between ' , mere and England, one of ,
the articles pi ov idi that OM Si! va/on en
duties Villich it imposes shall he Goverted
him specific duties within six monthp from
Its date, and these are to he ascertained by.
making an average of the prices for six
mouths previous to that till e The reverse
of the proposition would be nearer to the
truth, bealltre a MUM liNef - ISITIOUIit of
revenue would he collected by merely con-
verting the an ea/or,ra &Welt of a thrift into
equivalent specific duties. To this extent
the revenue would be increased. and in the
proportion the specific duties might be di
nmaimbed
Specific duties would secure to the Amer
ican manufacturer the incidental protection
to which he is-fairly entitled under a reve
nue tariff, and to this surely no person would
object The framers of the existing tariff
have gone further, and in ■ libelsl spirit
have discriminati-d in favor of large and use
ful branches of our 11161111factures, not by
ratsing the rate of ditty upon the importation
of Similar articles from abroad, but what is
the an me tp eflect
their fabrics
Under the pri sent system it has been of
ten truly ri marker] that. this incidental pro
tection decrees, a when the manufacturer
needs it most and incroase4 when he needs
it least and constiiutes a :doling scale
which •I vi aye operates against him The
revenues or the country ere subject to sun
Oar thictation Instead of approaehing a
steady standard, as would be the ease under
a syau m of specific dupla thej sink and
rise with the sinking and rising prices of
al tscles in foreign countries It would not
be difficult for dongres.i to arrange a system
of specific duties which would afford addi
tional stability both to our revenue and our
manufactures, and without injury or injus
tice to any interest of 'he coLintry This
might be accomplished by ascertanung the
average value of any given article for a series
of years at the place of exportation, and by
simply converting the rate of ad valorem ditty
upon it which might he deemed necessary
ir revenue purpoitra. Into tile form of •
itieciflc duty Such an arrangement could
not injure the consumer If he should pay
a greater amount of duty one year, this
would be counterbalanced by a lesser amount
the next, and in the end the aggreate would
be the Maine.
I desire to call your immediate attention
to the present condition of the Treasury co
ably and clearly i prg seated by the Secretary
in his report tokingress . and to [(commend

The report-of the Postmaster tienerel de
lade the circumstances under which Cornel
ius Vanderbilt, on my mount, agreed, in
the nionC• of July last, to carry the ocean
mails Metween our Atlantic ard Pacific coasts.
Ilad he not thus acted, thin important inter
communication must have been suspended,
at least for a season •The Postmaster lien
eral had no power to make him any other
compensation - than the postages on the mail
matter which he might carry. It was known,
at the time, that these potitages would fall
far short of an adequate compensation, as
Well as of the sum which the 8111110 service
had previously cost the Uevernment. Mr.
Vanderbilt in pp commendable spirit, was
willing to rely ffpon the Justice of Congress
to wake up the deficiency ; and I, therefbre.
recommend that an appropnation,..maY be
granted for this purpose.
I should do great injustice to the Attorney
General, were I to omit the mention of his
duitingussihed services in the measures a
dopted and prosecuted by him for the de
fence of thi• (iovernment against numerous
and unfounded clahns. to land in California,
purporting to have been made by tin Mexi
can government previous to the treaty of
cession. The successful opposition to these
claims has saved to the United States public
property worth many million• of dollarsoand
to Individuals holding title] under them •at
least an equal amount.
It has been represented to me, from Bootee
which I deem reliable, that the inhabitants
in several portions of Kansas ; have been re•
duced nearly to a state of starvation, on
account of the almost total failure of their
crops, whilst the harvests in every other
portion of the country have been abundant.
The prospect before them for the approaching
winter is will calculated to enlist the sym
pathies of, every heart. The destitution ap
pears to be so geooral that it Lannot be re
lieved by private contributions, and they aro
in such indigent circumstances as to be un
able to purchase the necessaries of life for
themselves. I yefer the subject to Congress.
If any constitutional means for their relief
can be devised, I would recommend its adop

I cordially commend to your favorabje
gard the interests of the people 'of this

your coasideration, especially since, unlike

President's Message
the last Annual Message' of President
is before the people. It is an able
'iloruon•nt, and is wort liy.n attentive, sober
investigation, by men of all political parties.
It is r►lm, and so far as possible, takes . a
middle course between the two extremes
The abstract right of secession has been die
cu,-et, claiming that It is neither more nor
I 8,4 than revolution. l The President asks the
South to pause and bear the ills they hero
Bern complaining about, rather than rush into
others which they know not of Ile suppli
cates the North to retrace its steps, and sup.
gabs a practical remedy In an amendment to
the Constitution for the Territorial ques
tion. .
This explanation would be Intended to
settle the true uucrpret!►tlon of the Consti

pointx
1 An express recognition of the fish!
of property in slaves in the States where it

fugitive slave law enacted for this purpose,
together with a declaration that all State
laws impairing or defeating this right are

Peace and harmony prevails among the dd . -
ferent efirintian denomination's The mime
tern living together, not only. as neighbors,
but apparently on terms of intimate frieud• •
ship, It WRY the good fortune of your cor
respondent, on the evening or the sixth inst.,
to see the above named ininisters and ladies
together with a Inrge company of friends and
neighbors, assembled at the holm of Capt.
Jamis Dunlap, who is (as you very well
know) one of the cleverest men living.
The occasion of this meeting, was to wit•
ness the marriage of the, Captain's shiest
daughtes Miss SUSAN J. to a Mr btu Hans,
a fine looking, and very respectable young
man of this neighborhood. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. 1) Mosier, after
which we surounded the Captain's table, a
discriptioit of which I will not attempt, 80- '
lice to say, it was loaded with an abundance
of everything good and taking all things to
gether, from the fair bride, down to the most
tiny cake, there seemed to be but one opis•
ion --that it was one of the nicest weddings
ever attended
We would add, that accompanying the
above notice we received from the happy
couple a meet delicious sponge cake, for
wpich they will please except the heart felt
thanks°, the editor--aye, overly hand in the
office We Onjoyed this little luxury as the
compliments of hearts glowing in the very
sunshine and summer of their existence.—
We are not to old to forget the pleasant inci•

were as sunny chapters in our life's history
as in theirs. May the stream of time bear
them gently onward. We hope their connn•

Col. Curtin, Governor elect, seems to be
favorable to the,ropcal of the laws of this
State which conflict !rah the Fugitive Slave
Law. In a speech delivered in Philadelphia,-
on last Saturday, at a dinner given by the
ReFublicans of that city to. Col. Alexander
McClure, Mr. Curtin said :
"The law-making power of this state bas
never designedly plaoed upon our statute
book laws to contravene or obstruct the exe
cution of any act of the Federal Government:
but if there 'fie any statutes on our book
which in effect, du contravene, or confliet
with any legislation of the National Govern•
ment, or obstruct the execution of any law
,of the United States, upon being fully satis•
fled that such 18 the fact, let us repeal them.
Lot us show to the South, and to the North,
and all the world, that while Pennsylvania
vindicates her own interests and rights, she
is faithful-to the Union ; 'and that the tight
of no State or man in the nation shall everibe
interfered with, restricted, dr limited by any
act of the people of Pennsylvania.
Vire want some of our aubori 'era who
are indeiVd to thin office, to bring tut a fat
hog and few loads of Oval.
