Largo numbers of our citizens have been arrested aud imprisoned without any form of examination or Buy opportunity for a hearing* aud even when released have only ob tained their liberty after much suffering and in nry and without any hope of redress. The wholesale massacre of Crabbe and his associates without trial iu Sonora, as well as the seizure Mid uiurder of our sick Americans who had tckco shelter in the bouse of an Amer ican, upon the soil of the Uuitftd States, was cotbinuiticnicd to Congress at its lust session. Murders of still more atrocious character have beta committed in the very heart of Mexico, under the authority of Miramon's government, during the present year. Sonic of these were only worthy oF a barbarous age, and, if tboy had not been clearly pioven, would have seem ed impossible in a country which claims to be civilized. Of this description was the brutal massacre ia April last, by order oi Gen. iVlar quez, of three American physicians, who were seized in the hospital at Tacubava while attend ing upon the siok aad the dying of both parties and without trial, as without crime, wero hur ried away to speedy execution. Little less shocking was the recent fate of Ormond Chase, who was shot in Tepio on the 7th of August by older of the same Mexican General, not only without a trial, but without any conjecture by his friends of fhe cause of his arrest. He is represented as i young unit of good character and intelligence, who had made numerous friends in Tepic by the coutageuuJ humanity which be bad displayed on several tryiug occasions, and his deatu itas as unexpected as it was shocking lo the whole community. Other outrages might bo enumerated, but t'uesc are sufficient to illus trate the wretched state of the country and the unprotected condition of the persons and pro perty of our citizens in Mexico. Ju all these cases our ministers have been constant ami faithful in their demands for re tires?, but both they and this Government, which toev have successively represented, have been wholly powerless to ntiko thoir demands cffec tiee. Their testimony in this respect, and in reference to the only remedy which, in their judgements, would meet the exigency, has beon Loth uniform and emphatic. "Nothing but a manifestatioc of the p>wor of the Government of theX T .

The case presented, however, -s not merely a ' case ot individual claims, although our just claims against Mexico have reached a very large amount. Nor i> it merely the ocsc of protee tiou to the lives and property of tho few Amer icans who may still remaiu in Mexico, uitbongh the life and property of every American citizeu ought to be sacredly protected in every quartet .of the world. liut it is-a question which re dates to the future us well as to the pre3eut and the pasv, uud which involves, iudirectly at least, ffco whole subject of car duty to Mexico as a neighboring State.

Mexico ought to be a rich and pruspeious and powerful repub lic. She possesses an extensivo tcriitory, a fertile soil, aud incalculable store wealth. She occupies an important position botwecn die Gulf and the occao for transit routes at i for commerce. J it possible that each a country as this can be given up to an archy and ruin without au rffurtfroai any quar ter for us rpscue and i: safely? Will the coro merci ws buttons of the world, which have eo m*ny interest* connected with jt f remain whol ly indifferent to such a testtlt? (,'an the United kjtatcs, especially, which ought to share most largsiy iu its commercial intercourse, allow their immediate neighbor thus to destroy itself U ud injure them? Yet without support from some quarter it is impossible to perceive bow Mexico can resums Lor position among natione, end enter up ou a career which promises any good results. The aid vfbicti she requires, and which the interests of all commercial countries reqaire thai she should have, it belongs to this government •to render, uot only by virtue of our neighbor hood to Mexico, along whose territory we Lave frontier of nearly a thousand miles tbut by virtue, also, of our established policy, wbieb is ii consistent wi:h the interveniioo of •Dy European power in the domestic coacoras of 'hat republic. The wrongs which w? have suffered from Mex ico are be fore the world, and must deeply impress every American citizen. A government which is either uuabl or unwilling to redress such wrongs, is derelict to Us highest duties. The di&odlty coUjists in selecting uud enforcing the remedy. We mar ia v.iin app'y to the consti tutional government at Vera Crux, although it ii well disposed to do us justice, for adequate X#dress. Whilst its authority is ackuowlcd2ed in ail the important ports and throughout the sea coasts of the licpnhlio, its power does not ostend to the City of Mexico and the States in jtM vioioify, where noarly all the recent out rages have been committed, on Aiuorican citi *iu,s. We must penetrate into the interior be fore Wo can reach the offenders, and this can ouiy he dooe by pa .sing through the territory jn the occupation of the constitutional govern ment. The roost acceptable and least difficult roodo of accomplishing the object, will he to net j.n eonoeit with that government. Their con sent and their aid might, 1 believe, be obtained; but if not, our obligation to protect our own citizens tr their just tights, secured by treaty, would not be the less imperative. For tbeso . reasons, I recommend to Congress to puss a law ] authorizing the President, under sucu condi- j lions as they may deem expedient, to employ a sufficeut military force to euter Mexico, for the ! purpose of obtaining indemnity for tho past, j and security for the future. 1 purposely re frain from auy sugges'i-.u as to whether this force shall consist of regular troops or vol on- j teers, or both. This question may be most ap- 1 propiiateiy left to tho decision of OoDgress. I would merely observe, that should volunteers be selected, suob a force could be easily raised iu this country, among those who sympathize ; with tho sufferings of our unfortunate fellow.; citizens iu Mexico, aud with the unhappy con- \ dition of that Republic. iSuch an accession to the forces of tho constitutional government ! would enable it soon to reach the Oity of Mox ico, aud extcud its powers over the wholo Re public. in that event, there is no reason to doubt that the ju-'t claims of our citizens would be satisfied and adequate redress obtained for the injuries inflicted upon them. The consti tutional government have ever evinced a strong desire-to do us justice, and this might be secured in advance, by a preliminary treaty. it nny be said (list these measures witl, at least indirectly, be inconsistent with our wise and sett leu policy not to interfere ia the do mestic concerns ct toreiga nations, but dees not the present ease faiiiy coaiitutc an exception? An adjoining republic is in a sutc of anarchy and confusion, trom which sbe has proved whol ly utiatdo to extricate herself; she is entirely destitute of the power to maintain peace upon | her borders, or to prevent the incursions of ban uiiti a.to our territory. Ju her fate, her for- , tunc, and her power to establish and maintain a settled goverumeuwe have a fat deeper in- : terest, socially, commercially, and politically, than any other nation. She is now a wreck , upor. the ocean, drifting about as she is impell ed by differeut tactions. As a good neighbor, shall we not lend to her a helping band to save her? If we do not, H would not be surprising snould some other nation undertake the tusk, j and thus force us to interfere at last, under ctr- j cumstances of increased difficulty for the main tenance of our established policy. I repeat the recommendation contained in uiy ' last annual message that authority may bo giv- | eu to ihe President to establish one or more temporary military posts across the Mexican ; line in Sonota aud Chihuahua, where these may i be necessary to protect the lives aud property of American and Mexican citizens against the . incursions and depredations of the Indians, as i well as of lawless rovers iu that remote region. The establishment of otic such post, at a point called Ai ispe, tu Sonora, in a country now ai most depopulated by the hostile inroads of the i Jndtans from our side of tuo line would it is j jx'Uaved, have prevented uiuub injury and many i crUet'.'e? during the past season. A state of , lawlessness 6n<l violence prevails ou that dis- [ tnt frontier- Lite -nd property are thero wool- ; iy tnS'tcure. population of Arizona, now numbering wore tba' 1 ten souu, aie practically destitute n.'

The treaty wi:ii Nicaragua of the 16tb Feb ruary, 1857, to wbich I interred iu iuy b*st annual message, railed to receive the ratifica* lion of the government of that republic, for reasons which 1 need not euumerate. A simi lar treaty has been since concluded between the parties bearing date on the 16th March, 1859, which has already been ratitic I by the Nicaragua:! Congress. This will be immedi ately submitted to the senate for their ratili cattou. its provisions cannot, i tiuuir, fail to be acceptable lo the people of both countries- Our claims against the government of Co— ta itisa uiid Nicaragua remain unredressed, thou.,'.i they are pressed >n aa cirueit manner, and not without nope of success. 1 deem it to be my duty ouae more earnestly to recommend to Congress the passage cf a law authorizing the President to employ the Daval force at his command for tie purpose of protecting the lives and property of American citizens pushing iu transit across the Panama, Nicaragua and i'ehauatepeo routes, against sudden and lawless outbreaks and depred tiins. I shall not repeat the arguments employed iu former messages in support of this measure. Buihoo it to *iy that the lives of many of our people, ar.d the sccuiity of vast amounts of treasure passing uud repassing over ouo ot tncrc of iiiese routes between tho Atlantic and Pacific, may be deeply involved in the action of Congress on this subj .at. I would also agiiu recommend to Congress that authority bo given to the President to employ the nave! iorce to protect American merchant vessels, their crews and cargoes, against violent ancl lawless seizure and confis cation iu the ports of Mexico ana tue Spanish American States, wuca these countries may be in a disturbed and revolutionary 'condition.— The mere knowledge that such an authority had oecn soufcrred, us ] have already stated, would, of Itself, iu a great degree, prevent tho evil. Neither would this require uny addi tional appropriation tor the naval service.— The chief objection urged against the grant of this authority is, that Congress, by couftrriog it, would violate tho Constitution; that :t would be a transfer of tho war-making, or strictly speaking, uie war declaring power, to the Executive, if this were well founded, it would, of course, be conclusive. A very brief exaiuiuatton, however, will place this ob jection at rest. Congress possesses the sola uud exclusive power uuder the Constitution, to declare war. They alone can raise and sup port armies, and provide and maintain a uavy. But after Congress shall have declared war, and provided the force necessary to carry itou, the President, is commander in chief of tho army ami uavy, can alone employ this force iu making war agaiust tho enemy. This is the plain language, aud history proves that it wus the well known iuteutton of tho trainers of the constitution. ll wi:l uot be denitd that th general power to declare war is without limitation, nni em braces within iiseli, not only what ivriterc on the L-.w ot iVFutons iorai n public or perfect War, hut also uu imperfect war, and in short every species of hostility, however oonhnod or limited. Without the authority of Congress, the President cannot fire a hostilo gun in any | ease, except to repel the attacks of an enemy. 1 it will not be doubted, that under this power, Congress could if they thought proper, author ize the President to employ the force at his command to seize a ve s *! belonging to an American citizen, which has been illegally eta ployed and captured in a foreign port, and re store it to its owner, but can Congress only •<:t after the fact—after the mischief has been done? Have they not power to eonfer upon the President the authority iD advance, to fur nish instant redress, should such a case after wards occur? Muet they wait until tho mis chief has been done, end can then apply the remedy, only when it is too late? To confer thi; authority, to meet future eases under cir cumstances strictly specific, is as clearly with in the war declaring power as such an authori ty conferred upon the President by act of Congress after the deed has been doue. ID the progress of a great nation, many exigencies must raise, imperatively requiring ii:at Con gress should authorize the President to act prompiiy ou certaiu conditions which may not afterwards uriso. The 'Thirty Fifth Congress terminated on the 3d day of March, 1859, without having passed the set making appropriations for the seivice of the Post-<t)ffioe Department during the fiscal year ending the 30rli .Tune, 1800.— This act also contained an appropriation to ■ supply deficiencies in the revenue of the PoSt Office Department for the year ending the 30tb Juno, 1859. 1 believe that this is the first in stance siuce the origin of tho Federal Govern ment, now more than seventy years ago, wbcu any Congress went out of existence without having pa.ssed all the genera! appropriation bills necessary to carry on the government un til the regular pcried for the meeting of a new Congress. This event imposed on the execu tive a crave responsibility. I; presented a choice of evils. Had this omission of duty occurred at the first sessiou of tho last Con gress, the remedy would have been plaio. 1 might then have instantly recalled them to complete their work, and this without expense to the government. Rut ou the 4th of March, list, there were fifteen of the thirty three States which had uot elected any representa tives to the present Congress. Had Con gress been called together immediately, these States would hove been virtually disfranchised. It an intermediate period had been selected, 3'iveral of the States would Lave been com pelled to hold extra sessions of their legisla tures, aud at great iucouveoience and expense to provide for eiectious at au earlier day than that previously fixed by law. In the tegular course, ten of these States would not elect until after iue beginning of August, aud five of these ton not until October aud November. Ou the other hand, when 1 came to examine carefully the condition of tho Post Office De partment, I did not meet as many or as great difficulties as I had apprehended. Had the tuil which failed been confined to appropria tions for the fiscal year ending on the 30th of June next, there would have been no reason of pressing importance for the call of uu ex tra session. Nothing would become due on oootraeis, those with railroad companies Ofliy excepted, for carrying the mail for the Brat quarter of the present fiscal vo ir, commencing on the Ist of July, until the first of December, less thau oi)c week before the meeting of the present Congress. The reason is, -hat the rn.il contractors, for ibis, the current year, did uot complete their first quitter's so.vice until the 3Utu of September last, and, by the terms of tbeir contracts, sixty days more sre ailowed for the settlement of their accounts, Department could he called upon f or '.ayrneut. The great difficulty and the ->reat hardship consisted in the failuro to pro lific for thd* payment of the deficiency ia the fiscal year cue.'.'-? ' fu,,e 3Uth, 1859. The De partment bed iul<> contracts, in obedi ence to existing !sw, fo r >n services >t that fiscal year, and (he coUi. rac,jrs were fairly eu tiiled to their compensation w became due. The deficiency as stated ia 'be W amounted to §3,838,728, bii: after a careful sett,uncut all these accounts, u his bceu that it amounts tv §1,296,0fi9. With luc tC3U'y means at hi? command, the Postmaster Gefio ra! has managed to pay that portion of tl.it." de ficiency which oocurtcd in the first two quit ters of the past fi-cal year, endiug ou the 31ft December last. In tho meantime the Contractors them selves, under these trying eircuixHtauoes, have behaved iii a maimer worthy of all cmrueuda tioi>. Tney had yte re-ourcc in the midst of their omburassmeots. After the amount due to each of tuem had been a.-e(-rtuin< i and 3- nally settled according to law, this became a specific clout of record against tho United States, which enabled them to borrow money ou this unquestionable security. Still tbuy were obliged pay interest in consequence of the default of Congress, and on every prinoi pl of justice ought to receive iuierctt from the government. This interest should com mence from t iie date when a warrant wouid uavo i.-saed for the payment of the ntiueipal hid an appreciation been made for tifis pur pose. Calculated up to Ist of December, it it will not exceed §96,660, a sum not to bo taken into account, when contrasted aith the great <iifficulties aud cmbarassnieots of a pub lic and private chaructci, both with tho peo ple and the Stales, which would uave resulted front convening and holding a special session of Congress. For these reasons I recommend tho passage ; of an act at as early a day as may be practi- ! cable, to provide for rho paynieut of the ] amount, with interest, due to these last men tioned contractors, as woll as to mike the ne ecssary appropriations tor flbo ser r iccs of the Post Office JLteparimeot for the current fiscal year. Tbe failure to pass tho Post Office bill necessarily gives birth to eerious reflection.— Congress, by refusing to piss lbs geuerai ap propriation bill NEOESS'iry to carry ON the IJOV erntuent, any not only arrest u s action, but might uestroy its cxisteucc. Tue urujy, the nary, the judiciary, in short, every department of the government can uo longer perform ihtrr function* if Congress refuses tho money ne cessary for their support. If this failure should teach the country tho necessity of eloctiug a full Congress iu sufficient time to enable the President to convene ihetn ir. any emergency, even immediately at tor tho old Congress has expired, it wiit have been pro ductive of groat good. Iu u time of sudden aud alarnrog dauger, foreign or domestic, which all nations must expect to encounter iu their progress, the very salvatiou of our jusntutkms mny ba staked upon the assembling of Con gress without delay. If Under such ciioum tiuucos the President should hod himself in the oimaition iu which iio was placed at the close of tho lust Congress, with nearly halt tho States of the liniou destitute of representa tives, the couscquencc might be disastrous. 1 therefore recommend to Congress to carry into effect the provisoes of the Constitution on this subject, and to pass a law' appointing some day previous to the 4th of March in each year of odd number, for the election of representa tives throughout all tho States. They have already appointed a day for the election of doctors for President and Vice-President, and this measure has been approved by the country. 1 would again express a most decided opinion in favor of the construction jf a Pacific rail road, for the reasons stated in my two last an nual messages. When 1 reflect upon what would be tho defenceless condition of our States and Territories west of the Rocky Mountains, in esse of a war with a naval power sufficiently strong to intemipt all intercouise with them by the route across the Isthmus, I am still more convinced than ever of me vast impor tance of this railroad. I have never doubted the constitutional competency of Congress to provide for its construction, but this is exclti; sivcly under the war making power, besides, tho Constitution expressly tequires, as an im perative duty, that the United States shall protect each of the States against invasion. I am at a loss to canceivo how this protection can be offorded to California and Oregon against such a naval power by any other means. I repeat the opinion contaiued in my la a t. annual toes sago that it would be inexpedient for tne government to undertake this great work by agents of its own ap.poiutmsnt, and under its direct aud exclusive control. This would in crease the patrotiago of the executive to a dan gerous extent, and would foster a system of jobbing and corruption which no vigilance on the part of federal officers could prevent. The construction of this road ought there fore to be eutrnsted to incorporated coutpauies, or other agencies, who would esereiso that ac tive and vigilant supervision over which can he inSprcd alone by a sense of corporate ?.od individal inte.udt. 1 venture to assert that the additional cost of transporting troops, muni tions of war, and tieicssaiy supplies for the army, across the vast intervening plains to our possessions on the Pacific coast, would bo greater in such a war than the whole auaouut required !o construct the road. And yer this resort would after all be inadequate for their defeuco aud proiection. We have yet scarcely recovered from the habits of extravagant ex penditure produced by our overflowing treasury during several years prior to the commencement of toy administration. Tho fiuancial reverses wl ich we have since experienced ought to teach us ail to scrutinize cur ospcudrturi with the greatest vigilance, aud to reduce them to the lowest possible point. Tho executive depart ment have devoted themselves to the aocoua pLshment of this object with Considerable success, as will appear from their different reports and estimates. To these I invite the scrutiny of Congress, for tho purpose of re ducing tbetii bti'l lower, if this bo practicable, ocnsieicat with the great public intermits of the country. Ic aid of tho policy of retrenchment, i pledge myself closely the htil, appiopt uliug lund.s or money, o that if any of i thoe should inadvertantly pass both Houses, i as must sometimes be the case, 1 may affi-d j them aa opportunity for reconsideration ; at tho j sari'i time, we ought never to forget that irue j public economy consists, not io withholding the j means ucocssary to acoouipiush important na tional objects confided to us by the Constitu tion j !,"il iu lakiug care that the money appro priated for these purposes shall be faithfully aud frugally expended. It will appear f rolu the report ot tho Secretary of the Treasury that it ts extremely doubtful, to say the least] whether wo shall be able to pass thro<t"ii the present and tuc next fiscal year wi'uout provi ding additionai revenue. Tiiis oaa only be ac complished by atrictiy confining the a| propria tions within the estimates of the differcut de partments, without m iking an allowance for any additional expenditures, which Congress may think proper iu their discussion to author ize and without providing for the redemption of any portion of the $20,000,000 of treasure jiotes which have besu already r*sued. Ij the oySul of a JtuCieucy, which 1 consider proba ble, this ought never to bo supplied by -i resort to additional loins. I* tuW be a ruinous practice, ia the days of peace tiu'.d p> psperity to go on increasing the national debt rO :D wct f' l J ordinary expenses of the government. Jhis policy would cripple our resources and iiopa.'S ° !ir credit, in case the existence of war shaalw reudcfic necos-ar; to borrow money. Should snub a deficiency occur at 1 appre hend, l„woy.id recoium nd that tbo necessary revenue ba raised Dy an increase of our present d'Unfs.oo imports. I need po! repeat thaopin ions expressed in my list annual message <*s to the besi modo and manner of accomplishing the object aad shall now merely observo that ibeae have since undergone no change. TLe report of the Secretary of the Treasury will explain iu detail the operations of that de partment of the government. The receipts into the Treasury, from all sources, during the fiscal year ending SOtu June, 1859, including the loan authorized by the act ol 14th Juno, 1858, and the issues of Treasury notes author— iaed by existing laws, were §81,092,471,01, which sum, with the balance of $6,398,316,10 remaining in the treasury at the commencement of that fiscal year, made an aggregate for tho service of the year of §88,090,777,11. Tho public expenditure during the fiscal year eniliug 30ib June, 1859, amounted 10 §83,751,511,57. Of this sum §17,405,285,11 wore applied to the payment of interest on the public debt aud tbo redemption of the issues of treasury notes. Tbo expenditures for ail other blanches of ine public service during that fiscal year were therefore §66,346,220,16.

The title to this articlo wiil uo coufct at tract the attention if cur readers. in the vaift hopn that we have aoui" remedy to suggest fcr the evils upon cs. That the present times are uaru, meat emphatically and d hare axing! j bard, DO one w:!! venture to deny, however much onr readers may differ n? to the causes which have produced them, or the remedies re quired to Dieud theEi. Such a scarcity ef money, and universal complaint, Lire not been in the country within car recollection; and wo regret to say, that so far a® we od see, there is no prospect of immediate relief. When the orasb r.f 1856 occurred, we wero told that it was only a panto in the inoEcy market, ted that it would soon p-ss by and all he well again. We predicted at the time that such was not the fact; that the country was not on ly panic-stricken, but suhstantully broken down, under the m&l-administration and mis government of free-trado ahaui democracy, and tint these could, in the nitare of things,bono permanent relief, until there was "*a change ia the tiriff, and in the policy tso practices of <ur rulers. Every recciit recurrence fe:-s but confirmed cur convictions a* fo leth the cause nod remedy for the evil which burst upon cs in 1857. More than two years bave elapsed sicoe then, and the panic is uaremoved, arid times are getting worso and worse; and for the reasons that free trade still exists, the tariff is unchanged, lecofceii-m is working out its legitimate fruit.' , and llr j manifold evils occa sioned thereby sir spread over the f-.ce cf our whole country, like sii invisible curse. The oulv relief promised is in the f.rt tho{ •be t ccpla are beginning to ir.quiie into rL3 causes cf the evil, end to show unmistakable s'gD? that sham democracy and free trade have had 1 1:i r day, and arc numbered amongst the things that urc passing away, and ih-t prctee livu to American labor and thu lights of the white men arc about to be regarded by the power' that Lol N.-.uly til the elections with in the past ye&r Lave repudiated the so-called democracy of modern times. Every Nor.hern and Was'ern S'atc, • xeept California and Ore gon have declared for the rights and intorrsts of ihr people; and not a few sen'horn States have nobly followed their example. In tba popular branch cf the present Congress the Adininistia'.too of James Buchuiiti are it l a minority, but -thhougb they cannot come near electing a Speaker, yet true to their interests, if they tre unabie to do any good, they are determined nobody eise shall, snd hence they Lave ic a factious opposition to ail organization, by refunng to permit a vote en the plurality • uie, and thus prevent any remod eling of the present iaiiff, or any legislation wsnfed by the Tvople. liut sn organization •will be effected era long to 6pite of theoi.— The House will amend the tariff, and vote to adi\ ; ' Kansas into the Union as a tree St: c, and to t!:e locofoco Senate will bo placed the responsibility cf defeating these *reat uiei-.s ure-, and others of a'tnor* equal moment.— Although there is to immediate prorpect of reiief for the hard times, thero is "a good time CDiting''—and it we #ll but do our duty, it is close at hand. Tho impending change of rulers, and thr.t only, can produce the de sired chauge of times.
