, t ,n,e exltu that specific duties aro necessarily pro tective duties. Nothing can bo more fallacious. — i Great Britain glories in free trade, and yet hr whole revenue from imports is at tho present mo ment collected under a system of specific duties. It is a striking fact in this connection that, iu the commercial treaty of 23d January, 186(1, between France and England, one of the artick s provides that the ad valorem duties which it imposes shall be converted into specific duties, within six months Ironr its date, and these are to lie ascertained by making an average of the prices for six months previous to that time. The reverse ot the propo sition would be nearer the truth, because a much larger amount of revenue would be collected bv merely couvertfng tho ad valorem duties of a tariff into equivalent specific duties. To this extent the revenue would be increased, and iu the Same pro portion the specific duty might be diminished. Specific duties would secuie to the American manufacturer the incidental protection to which be is fairly entitled under a revenue tariff*, and to this surely no {icrsuri would object. The framers of the txisling tariff" have gone further, and, in a lib eral spirit, discriminated in lavor of large aud useful branches of our manufactures, not by ra.s mg the rate cf duty upon the importation of simi lar articles trom abroad, out wh.t is the same in ef fect, by admitting articles free of duty which enter into the composition of their fabrics. Under the preseut system it has been often truly remarked that this incidental proteetiou decreases when the uiuuufac'urer needs it most, aud increases when he ueeds it least, and con stitutes a sliding scale which always operates against him. The revenues of the country are subjected to similar fluctuation. Instead of approaching a steady staudard, as would the case under a system of specific duties, they sink and rise with the sinktug and rising prices of articles in foreigu countries. It would not be difficult for Congress (o arruuge a system of specific duties which would afford additional stability both to our revenue aud our manu factures, and without, injury or injustice to any interest of tho country. This might be ac complished by ascertaining the average value of aDy givvu article for a series of years, at the place of exportation, and by aiuiply con verting tho rate of ad valorem duty upon it which might be deemed necessary tor reveuuc purposes, into the form of a specific duty.— Such an arrangement could net injure the cou suinct. If he should pay a greater amouut of duty one year, this would he counterbalanced by a lesser amouut the next, and in the end the aggregate would be the ucue. I desire to call your immediate attention to the present conditiou of the Treasury, so ably aud clearly presented by the Secretary iu his report to Uongross ; and to recommend, tb it measures be promptly adopted, to enable it to discharge its pressing obligations. The other recommendations of the icportaie well worthy of your favorable consideration. 1 herewith transmit to Oougress the reports of the Secretaries of War, of the Navy, of the Interior, and of tho Fos-master General. The recoujiueudaiions auu suggestions which ibe\ con'a iu are highly vaiua Ic, aud deserve your cartful attention. The report of the Postmaster Geuerul de tails the circumstances under which Cornelius Vaoderutlr, on tuy request, agreed, iu the mouth of J u]y lur, to carry the ocean mails between the Atlantic and Pacific coast-. Had he not thus acted, this important intercommu nication must have been cuspeuded, at least lor a season. The Postmaster General had uo power to make him any other compensation than the postages on the mail u.a ter which he might carry. It was known, at too lime, that these postages would fail far short of an aue qaatc compensation, as well as of the sum ahich the same service had previously oot the Government. M.. Vanderbilt, iu a commc... rialde spirit, was willing loieiy upou the justice of Congress- to make up the deficiency ; and I, thetefore, recommend that au appropriation may bo granted lor this purpose. t should do great injustice to the Attoruej' Geu eral, wore I to omit Cue mentiou of his distinguished services iu the measures adopted and prosecuted by him ior the defence of the Government against nu merous and unfounded claims to lands in CaLfurnia, purporting to have been made by the Mexican gov inuumt, previous to the treaty ot cessiou. The successful opposition to these claims has saved to tho United States public property worth many mil lions ot dollars, and to individuals hoi img titles un der tlicm to at leas', an equal amount. It has been represented to mi-, from sources which I deem reliable, that the inhabitants in seve ral portions of Kansas bt.ve been reduced nearly to a state ot starvation, on account of the almost total tailure of the crops, whilst the harvests iu every other portion of the couutry have been abundant. Toe prospect before them, for the approaching win ter, is well calculated to enlist tbe sympathies of every heart. The destitution appears to be so gen eral that it cannot be relieved by private contribu tions, and they are iu such indigent circumstances as to be unable to purchase the necessaries of life for themselves. I refer the subject to Congress. If any constitutional measure for their relief can be devised, £ would recommend its adoption. I cordially recommend to your favorable regard the interests of tbe people of this District. They are emineutly entitled to your consideration, espe cially since, unliae tbe people of 'he States, they can stipeal to no Government ixcept that of the Union, JAMES BUCHAaS'AN.
