lowances for the transportation of fieo mail
matter. proJnced $8,0.53,951; and the remain
der tras supplied by the appopriatiou from the
treasury of 1,250,000, griutd by the act of
Congress approved August 18, 185G, and by
the. appropriation of $666,883 made by the act j
of .March 3, 1857, leaving §252,763 to be car- j
tied to the ciedit of the department in the ac- '
counts of the current year. I commend to !
your consideration the report of tne department
in relatiuu to the establishment of the overland
j.wiJ riiu'e from the Mississippi river to San
Francisco, California. The route was selected
with icy full concurrence, as the one, in toy
judgment, best calculated to attaiu the impor
tant objects contemplated by Cong-ess.
An overflowing treasury has led to habits of
prodigality and extravagance in our legislation,
it has induced Congress to make large appro
priations to objects for which they never would
have provided had it been necessary to raise
the auiouut ©l revenue required to meet them
by increased taxation or by loans. We are
in w compelled to pause in our career, and to
scrutinize our expenditures with the utmost
vigilance: and in performing this duty, 1
pledge my co-operation to the extent of cry con
stitutional competency.
It ought to he observed at the same time that
true public economy does not consist iu with
holding the means necessary to accomplish im
portant national objects intrusted to us by the
constitution, and especially such as may be oe
cessaay tor the common defence. In the pres
ent crisis of the country it is our duty to coo
tine our impropriations to objects of tuis char
acter, unless in cases where justice to individu
als miv demand a different course. In cil j
ea-s care ought to be taken that the money j
granted by Congress shall be faithfully and ecc- j
uotukally applied.
Under the federal constitution, "every bill which j
shall have passed the House of Representatives !
and litu b-O, Uir. w ," b- j
approved and signed by the President; and. if not
ap; roved, "he t-hall return it with his objecttons j
|.. thi>' house i' which it originated." In order j
ro jicrform this high and responsible duty, suffi
cient lime must be allowed tne President to read
and examine every bill presented to him for appro
val. Unless this be afforded, the constitution be
comes a dead letter in this particular; and even
worse it uecomes a means of deception. Our
constituents, string the P.eMdeot's approval and
sigtiiture attach' d to each act of Congress, ate in
duced t.i believe that he has actually performed
this duty, when, in truth, nothing is, in many ca
ses. more unfounded.
From fie practice of Congress, such an exami
nation of each bill as the constitution requires,
has been tendered impossible. The most impor
tant business of each session is generally crowa.- 1
into its last hours, and ihe alternative presented i
to the President is either to violate the constitu. j
ti'cai duly which lie owes to the people, ane ap- j
prove nibs which, for want of time, it is iinpossi- i
tie he should have examined, or, by h'is refusal to j
do-this, subject the coi ntry and individuals to;
great bss an I inconvenience.
Besides, a practice has grown np of hte years
toiegi-litein appropriation bills, at the bat hours
of the session, on new and important subjects.—
This practice core trains the President -ith Vto suf
fer u.e is tires to bceoroe latrs which he does r.- .t ap
prove, or l(J ;,, cur t [j e 0 p sto the wheels
o: gov' rmcnt by vetoing an appropriation bill.—
1 iimer.y bi lis were confined to specific appro
priations for car*; ; r g ; n t o c t existing laws and
the we: -estai lisbew. l/ 0 C Y 0 p t> lo coiintay, and lit
t.e time was then reqwjj-ed by the President for
their examination.
lor my own part, 1 liave drljhentelv determined
that I shall approve no I,H wlm-q I have not exam
iDcd. ufid.it 55i1l oii a c ise of jjid most ur
pent necessity which shall everindu -, m e to depart
from this rule. I therefore respect!ac, y bttt earn
estly, recommend that tlie two houses would allow
the President at least two daj s previous t o th<' ad
journment of each session within which t.o new bill '
6'- ill be presented to him for approval. Undr the
existing joint rub one day is allowed; but tnis rule
hat been hitherto so constantly suspended iuprac
tice. tliat important bills continue to be presevted
to him up til! the very last moments of the session.
In a. large majority of cases no great public incon" i
veuiencv- can arise from the want ct time to exam-'
ine their provisions, because the constitution ha* j
dec;. - <1 that if a hill be presented to the President
within the last ten days ef the session he is not
required to return it, either with an approval or
with a veto, "in which case it shall not We a law."
It may then He over, and be taken up and passed
at the next sesa ion. Great inconvenience would
on y be experienced in regard to appropriation bills,
ant fortunately, under the late exceliei.t law allow
i.lowing a salary, instead of a per diem, to mem
bers of Congress, the expense and inconvenience
of a called sestiou will be greally reduced.
I cannot conclude without commending to ytmr
favora: !<■ co-ddemtion the interests Of the peo
plc of ,h: - Dictri it. Without a representative on
"' jOT *'f Congress, tbey have for this very rec
on peculiar claims npon our just regard. To this

PRKi'IDENT'S MESSAGE.
IVe publish '.liis week, to the exclusion of nearly
everything els.-, the long ant! wiudy message of
James Buchanan. On the Kansas question he j
goes the full length with the South, lie is in fa-j
vor of the € 'institution of the late bogus Con- ]
ventioa, and against allowing the people of the;
territory, the privilege of voting upon its pro- j
visions. On this question, he is opposed by 1
Douglas. Forney and muv of the I.ocofoco mem- j
hers of Congress, and leading politicians in differ
emt parts of the countr*. X7 c have al>o heard
the President condemned in uameannred terms by
soma ol the purest and best Democrats in this
plaee. The s rung probability is, that this Kan
t:ts question will cause a serious split in the 1.0-cotoeo
cotoeo party. We have no room for further com
ments. I.et evety one read the message and see
how far a ".NorThern man with Southern feelings" i
jan go.
APPOINTED,
j Our readers are no doubt aware that Georee W. |
j Bowman, the lite infamous editor of the Bedford
! Gaztile, has been rewarded with a $3,500 office,
j V'til. , ,1. 18, IW —t LY Clio . TSIm
; is, vre presume, on account of Bowman's deser
j tion of him in 18d", and support of Dallas. Thu j
| President has been accused, with justice, of re- j
warding his enemies and deseiting his friends, and j
Hits is a case in point. Bow man, the Slanderer ol i
the livin? and the dead, -f tbe old and the young, |
of some of the best people of ihe County, and ;
among tlieni innocent and respectable females, is |
now rewarded by this dirty, corrupt and wicked ;
administration. For a nun to be a dirty, low ;
blackguard, is a sufficient passport to office from
Buchanan. The respectable portion of our com-!
muiiiiy are glad to get rid of the slanderous black- i
guard, Bowman, however, in any manner.
The Baltimore Clijiper has the following in rela- j
| Con to the appointment i
■ BTWAFDFU. —Geo. W. Bowman, of the Bed-j
: ford (Pa.) Gazette —one of 'he lowest ami most j
scurrilous lot-ofoco sheets in the Union, has been
•dieted Superintend -nt of the public printing.— ;
it only remains for Congress to hail two fellows, !
a- dl met, to elect Banks ot the Sottthaide (Va.) i
Democrat as printer. A tetter span of blackguards
eoull not be trotted out."

' tage to the people of Bedford County. He was j

with more confidence than Prof. Wood's Hair

States. This preparation possesses the most

IMORiTOR,
OR LIVER REMEDY
TS AN ARTICLE THAT EVERT BODT
A needs who is not in a perfect state of health
for the Liter is second oulv to the heart in our
human economy, and when that is deranged tho
'whole vital machinery runs wrong. To Cud a
medicine peculiarly adapted to this iLsease has
been the study of one of the proprietors, in a
large and extended practice for the past twenty
years,and the result of his experiment is tho
Invigontor, is a never-failing remedy where
medicine has any power to help. As a Liver
Remedy it bts no c*;Ual, as all testify who use
it.
A lady writing front Brooklyn, says, -Would
;'1 I Coul.l express in this short letter the val
ue your Invigorate, has been to me in raising
a largo family of children, for it has never tail
ed to relieve all affections of the stomach, bow
vis or attacks of worm*. If mothers ouce had
this remedy placed within their reach, and were
taught how to use it, a fearful and untold a.
mount of agony might be saved."
One of our pioniiDent bankers says, "Five or
six years since I found myself running down
with a liver difficulty ; resorting to your Invig
orator, was greatly relieved, and, continuing
for a season, was entirely restored."
A clergyman called at onr office the othet
day and said he had given a poor woman a bot
tle, who was suffering very badly from Liver
Complaint, and before she had taken the whoU
oi it she was at work aiming bread for her fam
ily.
A gentb-man, recently from the West, savs,
while at Chicago, lie was attacked with a slow'
lingering fevsr, that baffled toe skiff , 0 f pbysi
c: 'is, bat the Invigorator cured him in a few
days.
One of our city merchants said, while on a
vi.-i: to Troy, a new days since, ho was attacked
v. itb bowel and stomach disorders, sons to con
tine hiin to his room, he sent to the drug stoio
for a hottle of Invigorator, took one dose, which
relieved him so that he was aide to attend hit
uu&incss.
An aennaint Alice, whote basiuess conpeli
oim to write most of the time, says, he became
so weak as to be unable at times to hold hi*
pen, at others, sleep would overpower
him. but Uie iuvigorator rarud liim-
A gentleman irom Brooklyn called on us a
week or two since, i-jiting but the shadow of a
with .lii.ju yellow, pile and deathlike.
He had boon i-r a leg lime suffering from
Jaundice snd Dyspepsia, and unable to attend
to hi* business. \\\ >; v him again to-days
changed man, and to use his expression, ho has
i.-jt seen uie bottom of the first bottle, and fur
ther adds "it saved my life, for I was fast go
ing to a consumptive's g-n.e."
Among tho hundreds of LiVor Remedies now
offered to i.ie public, there are none we can so
tuliy. reooitii-: I as Dr. Santord's lnvigorator,
or Liv.r Reeled: so generally known now
throughoui the Union, 'this preparation is tru
