ceivc ilictii, who is required to reside on the const, was unnecessary, and they might have been landed by our vessels any whore in Africa, and left exposed to the sufferings and the fate which would certainly await theui. Mr. Monroe, in his special message of 17th of December, 1819, at the first session after the act was passed, announced to Congress what in his opinion, was its true construction. lie believed it to be his duty under it, to follow these unfortunates into Africa, and make pro vision for them there, until they should be able to provide for themselves. In communicating this interpretation cf the act of Congress, ho stated that some doubt had been entertained as to its true intent and meaning, and ho submit ted the question to them, so that they might, 'should it bo deemed advisable, amend the same before further proceedings aro had under it.' ~ | Nothing was done by Congress to cxpiaiu the act, and Mr. Monroe proceeded to tarry it in to execution according to his own interpreta tion. This, thou became the practical con structs n. When tlie Africans firm on board the Echo were delivered to the marshal at Charleston, it leccuic my duty to consider what disposition ought to be made of tbcui uii dci the law. For maoy leasons, it was expedi ent to remove them from that locality as speedi ly as possible. Although the conduct of the authorities and citizens of Cbailestcn, in giv ing countenance to the execution of tlie law, was just what might have been expected frcm their high character, yet a prolonged con tinuance of three hundred Africans in the immediate vicinity of that city, could not have failed to become a source of inconvenience and anxiety to its inhabitants. Where to send theui, was the question. There was no portion of the coast of Afriea, to which they could bo removed with any regard to huuiauiiy, except to Li beria. Under theso circumstances, an agreement was cnteied into with the Colonizatioo Society on the 7th of September last, a copy of which is herewith transmitted, under which the Socie ty engaged for the considcratin of forty-five thousand dollais, to receive these Africans in Liberia from the agent of the United States, and furnish them during the period of one year thereafter, with comfortable shelter, clothing, ptovisious, and medical attendance, causing the children to receive schooling; and all, whether children or adults, 10 be instructed in the arts of civilized life, s-ui'iiblc to their condition. This aggregate of forty-live thousand dollars was based upon an allowance of one hundred and fifty dollars for each individual, and us j there has been considerable mortality among theui, aud in .y be more before they reach Afri- | oa, the society have agreed, in an equitable | spirit, to make such a deduction from tho j amount, as under the circumstances may appear j just and reasonable. This cannot be fixed un- ! til we shall ascertain the actual number which may become a charge to the society. Jt was also distinctly agreed, that under no circumstances shall this government be called upon for any additional expenses. The agents of the society manifested a lau dable desire to conform to the wishes of the government, throughout the transaction. They as.-ured me thai, after a caretul calculation, they would be required to expeud tho sum of one huiidrcdaud fitly doliaia ou ctoli ind'.riUuel in complying with the agreement, and they would have notlir-g left to remunerate them for their care, trouble, and responsibility. At all , events, I could make DO better arrangement, and there was no other alternative. Duriug the period when the government itself, through 1 its own agents' uudertook the task of providing for the captured negroes in Africa, the cost per head was very much greater. There having been no outstanding appropria tion applicable to this purpose, I could not ad vance any money on the agiecmout. 1 there fore recommend that an appropriation may be made, of the amount necessary to carry it into i effect. Other captures of a similar character may, : and probably will, be made by our naval forces; and I earnestly recommend, that Congress may amend the second section of the act of March 3, 1539, so us to free its construction from j the ambiguity which has so loDg existed, aud j render tho duty of the President plain in exe cu ing its provisions. I recommend to your favorable regard the local interests of the District of Columbia.— As the residence of Congress aud the executive departments of the government, we caunot fail to feel a deep concern in its welfare. This is heightened by the high character and the | peaceful and orderly conduct of its rcsidcut in habitants. I cannot conclude without performing the agreeable duty of expressing my gratification, that Congress so kindly responded to the re commendation of my last annual message, by i affording uio sufficient time before the close of ! their late session for the examination of all the ; hills presented to me for approval. This j charge in the practice Congress, has proved to be a wholesome reform. It exerted a beneficial iufluence on the tiansaetion of legislative busi- | ness, and elicited the general approbation of , the country. It enabled Congress to adjouru j with that dignity and deliberation so becoming to the representatives of this great republic, without having crowded into general appro priation bills provisiuus foreign to their nature, j and of doubtful constitutionality and expedi ency. Let me warmly and strongly commend \ this precedent, established by themselves, us a guide to their proceedings during the present j session. JAMES BUCHANAN. WASHINGTON CITY, December 6, 1858.

Sworn statement of David McCreary, of Napicr Township, Bedford county : In April, 1850. as near us I can remember, a .small pimple made its appearance on uiy upper lip, which soon became enlarged and sore. I used poltices of sotrel, anil a wash of blue" vitriol, with out effect. Finding the sore extending, 1 culled on Dr. Ely, of Schellsburg, who pronuunced it CAN CER, and proscribed a wash of sugar of lead and tread poultices. Finding these remedies of no avail, I called upon Dr. Shaffer, of Davidsville, Somerset county, who also pronounced the disease Cancer, and gave me Internal and external remedies —the latter consisting principally of caustic; tut all to no purpose, as the disease continued spread ing toward the nose. I next used a preparation of arsenic, in the form of salve. This for a time do eked the disease, but the inflamation soon in- ! creased. I next called upon Dr. Staller of St. Clairsville, Bedford county, who also pronouueed tiw disease Cancer, and applied a salve said to be a never failing remedy, but it had no effect whatever in checking the spread of the sore. In December, I of the same year, tli i disease had eaten uway a ! greater nart of my upper lip, and had attacked the i nose, w hen I went to Cincinnati, where I consulted Prof. R. S. Newton,of the Electic Medical College. He pronounced ilie disease "a cutaneous Cancer, 1 superinduced by an inordinate use of mercury.— He applied mild zinc ointment, and gave internal lemedies. My faoe healed up. but the inflamalion was not thoroughly removed. In Febuary, 185*, lie pronounced me cured, and I left for home. In April the disease again returned and so violent was the pain that I could not rest at night. Late in May I returned to Cincikuati, and again placed myself under the charge of Dr. Newton, with whom I remained until September, during which time he used every known remedy, and partly succeeded in checking the disease, hut when I returned home there were still three discharging ulcers upon ray face. I continued using Newton's preparations, and also medicine that I got from Dr. Ely, but the Cancer continued growing until it hud cat off the left silt of my nose, the greater portion of my left cheek, and had attacked my left eye. I had given up all hope of cvei being cured; since Dr. Ely said lie could only give relief; but that a euro was impos sible. lu March, 1858, 1 bought abcttic of 'Blood Sce-archer,' but I must confess that 1 had uo faith in it- I was very weak when I commenced taking it; but 1 found that I gained strength day by day, and also thai the ulcers commenced drying up. 1 continued, and when the third bottle was taken my face was healed as if by a miracle. I used a forth bottle, and 1 have been healthier since than 1 have been for the last seven years.
