The Postmaster General's report film
ishes a full and elo.ir exhibit of tho op
orations and condition of the postal
service. The ordinary postal revenue
for tho Used year ending Juno 30, 1808,
was $10 .202,000, and tho total expend!
tures, embracing "11 tho scrvico for
which special appropriations liavo been
made by Cougresj.uinounted tof-iijoU,
502. showing an excess of expenditures
of $0,137,991. Deducting from expen
dltures tlm sum of $1,800,523, tho
amount of appropriations for ocean
btcauishtp and otherspeclalser vice, the
excels of expenditures was $1,511,400.
By ming an unexpended balunco In
th Treasury of $3,800,000, the actual
sum for which a special appropriation
is required to meet thu deficiency is
$711, 1C0. The causes which produced
this largo excess of cxpendlturo over
revenue were the restoration of service
in the late Insurgent States, and tho
nuttin'' Jnto operation of new service
established by acts of Congresl, which
amounted, within tho last two years
aad a half, to about -13,700 miles equal
to more than one-third of the whole
amount of the service at the close of the
war.
MEXICO.
Our ralatlons with Mexico daring the
yaar have been marked by an lncrea
ing growth of mutual confidence. The
Mexican Government has not yet acted
upon the three treaties celebrated htrt
last summer for establlshlnc the rights
of naturalized citizens upon n liberal
and just bails, for regulating consular
powers, nnd for the adjustment of mu
tual claims.
1IAYTI AND HT. D011ISGO.
I hivobecn reluctantly obliged to ask
explanation and satisfaction for nation
al Injuries committed by tho President
of llayll The political and sociil con
dition of tho Republics of llayll and
St Domingo Is very unsatisfactory and
pilnful. Tho abolition of slavery,
which lias been carried into effect
throughout tho island of SI. Domlntfo
nnds.hu entire West Indies, except the
Spanish Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico,
has been followed by a profound popu
lar conviction of tho rightfulness of re
publican Institutions, and an Intense de
sire to secure them. The attempt, how
ever, to establish republics there en
counters many obstacles, most of which
may be supposed to result from long
ludulgcil habits of colonial stiplneness
and dependence upon European mon
archical powers. While tho United
States have, on all occasions, professed
n decided unwillingness that any part
oi this continent or of Its adjacent Is
lands sliull ! made a theatre for a new
establishment of monarchical powers,
too little has been tlono by us, on thu
other baud, to attach tho communities
by which wo are surrounded to our own
touutry, or to lend even amoral sup
port to the efforts they aro so resolutely
and to constantly making to secure re
publican institutions for themselves. It
Is, Indeed, a question of grnvo consider
ation whether our recent and present
example is not calculated to cheek tho
growth and expansion of free principles,
and mute those communities distrust,
If not dred, a government which at will
consigns to military domination States
that are Integral parts of our Federal
Union, and, while ready to resist any
attempts by other nations to extend
to this hemisphere thu monarch
ical Institutions of Kurope, assumes to
establish over a Isrgo portion of Its peo
ple n rulo more absolute, harsh and tyr
anlcal l han any known to civilized
powers.
MOKR TinWTOKT.
Tlis acquisition of Alaska was made
wllli a view of extending national Ju
risdiction and republican principles In
the American hemisphere. Bcllovlng
that a further step could bo taken In
the samo direction, I last year entend
iiuo a treaty with thoKIngofDcnmaik
for tlie purchnsu of the Islands of ..
Tlioina3 ami St. John, on tin1 best isun's
then attainable, nnd with the express
consent of tho people of thoce Island.
This treaty .still remain uudrr consiu
oration in tho Senile. A now conven
tion hue been entered Into with Den
mark, enlarging tho time filed for final
ratification of the original treaty, Cora
prvhetisive national policy would teem
to sanction the acquisition and Incorpo
ration into our Federal Union of the
several udjacunt continental and Insular
communities as speedily at It can be
done peacefully, lawfully, and without
any vlolslion of national Justice, faith,
or honor, Foreign possession or eontrol
of those eoiuinui lllibhns hitherto hin
dered tho growth and Impaired tho in
fluence of thu United Slates. Chronic
revelation and anarchy there would be
equally Injurious. Kach oue of them,
when (Irmly established as nn Indepen
dent republic, or when Incorporated In
to tlio.Unlted Slates, would be a now
ouice of strength and power. Confor
ming my administration to these prin
ciples, 1 have on no occasion lent sup
port or toleration to anlawful expedi
tions n't on font upon the plcaof repub
lican propagaudlsm, or of national ex
tension or A(f rnndlzcmcnt. The ne
cessity, however, of repressing such un
lawful movements ele.irly indicates the
duty which rests upon us of adapting
our legislative action to the now cir
cumstances of a decline of European
monnrchlat power and influence, nnd
lie increase of American republican
I leas, Interests, nnd sympathies. It
. sunot he long before it will become no
crssary for this government to lend
omeeffectlvc aid to the solution of tho
oolltici! and social problems which nro
continually kept before tho world by
thetworepabllcsof tho Island of St.
Domingo, nnd which aro now disclos
ing t hems t Ives moro distinctly than
heretofore In tho Island of Cuba. The
subject Is commended to your consider
ation with all the moro earnestness, be
came I nm satisfied that tho time has
arrived when oven to direct a proceed
ing as a propo-ltlon for an annexation
of tho Island of St. Domingo would
not only reccivo tho consont of the peo
ple Interested, hot would also glvo sat
isfaction to alt other foreign nations. -I
am awaro that upon tho question of
urthcr extending our possessions It is
apprehended by sonic that our political
system cannot successfully bo applied to
an area more oxtended tha'i our conti
nent; but tho conviction is rapidly
gaining ground in tho American mind
that, witli the Increased facilities of in
tercommunication between all portions
of the earth, tho principles of free gov
ernment at embraced In our Constitu
tion, If faithfully maintained and car
ried out, would provo of sufficient
strength mid breadth to comprehend
within their sphere and intlucnco the
civilized nations of the world.
THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Tho attention of the Senate nnd of
Congress is afiitn respectfully called to
the treaty for tho establishment of com
mercial rociproslty with tho Hawaiian
Kingdom, ontered Into last year, and
already ratified by that government.
The attitude of tho United Slates to
wards these islai.ds is not very different
from that In which they stand towards
the West Indies. It Is known and felt
by the Hawaiian Government and peo
ple that their government nnd Institu
tions aro foeblo and precarious; that the
United States being so near a neighbor,
would bo unwilling to tee tho Islands
past uader foreign control. Their
prosperity is continually disturbed by
expectations and alarms of unfriondly
political proceedings, a:, well from the
United States as from tho foreign pow
ers. A reciprocity treaty, while it could
not materially diminish tho revenues of
tho United States, would bo a guaran
teoof tho good will naa forbearance of
all nations until the people of tho islands
shall of themselves, at no distant day,
voluntarily apply for admission into
the Union.

The Emperor or Russia has acceded
totho treaty negotiated hero in January
last for th security of trade-marks In
the interest of manufacturers and com
merce. I havo invited his attention to
the Importance of establishing, now
whlltf It seems easy and practicable, a
fair and equal regulation of tho vast
fisheries belonging to tho two nations
In the waters of tho North Pacific ocean.
RIGHTS OF NATURALIZED CITIZBNS.
The two treaties between tho United
States and Italy for the regulation of
eon-u'nr powers and the extradition of
criminals, n rgotlatcd and ratified here
duri iik tho lust session of Congress, havo
been accepti-d nnd confirmed by tho
Itallaa government. A liberal consular
conventlon which has boen nogotl.ited
with Belgium will bo submitted to the
Senate, the very important treaties
which wert) negotiated between the
United States nnd North Oermany and
Bavaria, for the regulation of the right,
of naturalized citizens, have been duly
ratified and exchauged, and similar
treaties havo been enteral into with tho
Kingdoms of Belgium nnd Wurtem
berg, and with tho Grand Duchies of
Had en and Hesse-Darmstadt. I hope
soon to bo sblo to submit equally satis
factory convsnttons of tho same charac
ter now in the courso of negotiation
with the respective Governments of
Spain, Italy, and the Ottoman Emplie.
Examination of claims against the
United States by the Hudson't Day

provisions of tho treaty between tho
United States and Great Britain of June
15, 1310, has been diligently prosecuted,
under the direction of the Joint Inter
national commission to which they
were submitted for adjudication by
treaty between tho two governments of
July 1, 1803, nnd will, It Is expected, bo
concluded at an early day.
(MEAT HWTAIK.
No practical regulation concerning
colonial trade and the fisheries cau bo
accomplished between thu United States
and Great Britain until Congress shall
havo exprctrcdtholr Judgment concern
ing tho principles involved. Throo oth
er questions, howovcr, between the U.
S., and Oreat Britain remain open for
adjustment. These ore tho mutual
rights of naturalized citizens, the boun
dary question Involving tho tlUo to tho
island of San Jnan, on thoPncillc ecost,
and mutual claims arising sinctt the
year 1853, of tho citizens and subjects of
the twocountrlos for injuries nnd dop-
i editions committed under authority of
their respective governments. Negoti
ations upon thoso subjects are pending,
and 1 am not without hopo of being
able to lay before tho Senate, for its con
sideration during tho present session,
prou cols calculated to bring to an end
inme justly-exclting'snd long-existing
controversies.
I'ltOl'OSKD AMENDMrKTHTO T1IKCON
STITUTIOM I renew the recommendation contain
ed In my communication to Congress
dated tho ldth July last a copy of
which uccnmpanlett this message that
the Judgment of thopeoplo should bo
taken on the proprloty of bo nmcndlng
tho Federal Constitution that it shall
provide
1st. For an election of President and
VIco-PrcnIilent by a direct vote of the
people, Instead of through tho agency
of electors, and making them Ineligible
for re-election to a second terra,
2d. For a distinct designation of the
person who shall discharge theduticHof
I'MwIdeut, In the event of a vacancy in
that ofllce by the death, resignation or
removal of both tho President nnd Vice
President. 3d. For the election of Senators of tho
United States, directly by tho pcoplo of
tho several States, Instead of by tke
Legislatures; nnd
1th. For tho limitation of period of
years of tho terms of Federal Judges.
Profonndly Impressed with the pro
priety of making theso Important modi
fications In the Constitution, I respect
fully submit them for tho early nnd
maturo consideration of Congress. We
should as far as possible rcmovo all pre
text for violations of the organic law
by remedying such Imperfections as
tlmo nnd oxperleiico may develop, ever
remembering that ''the Constitution
which ntnny time exists, until changed
by an explicit nnd authentic net of tho
wholo people, Is tacredly obligatory up
on all."
In the performance of n duty Imposed
upon mo by the Constitution, I have
thus communicated to Congress Infor
mation of tho stato of tho Union, and
recommended for Its consideration sncli
measures as have seemed to mo necess
ary and expedient. If carried Into ef
fect, they will hasten the accomplish
ment of thu great and beneficent pur
pones for which the Constitution was
ordained, and which it comprehensively
states wero "to lorm a moro perfect
Union, establish Justice, iusuro domes
tic tranquility, pro vide for tho common
defence, promote tho general welfare,
and secure tho blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our posterity." In Con
gress aro vested all legislative powers,
ami upon them dcvols-es tho responsi
bility as well for framing unwiso and
expensive laws, ns for neglecting to do
vlso and adopt measure absolutely de
manded by the wanttof tho country.
Let us earnestly hopo that before the
expiration of our respective terms of
service, now rapidly drawing to a close,
an all-wise Providence will so galdo our
eounscls ns to strengthen and preserve
the Federal Union, inspire roTcrcnce
for tho Constitution, rettoro prosperity
and hnpp ness to our wholo people, and
promote "on earth peace, good will to
ward men." Anduew Johnson.

The President's .Jttcssafo, and the
Finance.
Last week wo gavo a synopsis of
this Important document, and this week
we give it entire, with tho exception of
a small portion giving details of ex
penditures in tke Depart incuts, and rc
vlowlng our foreign relations.
Andrew Johnson has not been intim
idated by tho success of tho minority
Itadical party. Ho arraigns them moro
strongly than ever for their extrava
gance, corruption, und disobedience to
the Constitution. His last annual mes
sage is a complete vindication of him
self, and the petty efforts made In Con
gress to suppress It, will only eauao it
to bo moro widely read.
That portion of it which claims tho
most attention is his so-called "Repu
diation scheme." Thy President says
that "it cannot be donied that we nre
paying nn extravagant percentage
for tho money borrowed, which
was paper currency greatly do
picciated below tho vuluo of
coin. This fact Is made apparent when
wo consider that bondholders receive
from the Treasury, upon each dollar
lioy own in government securities,
feix per cent, in gold, which is nearly or
qtilto equal to nine per cent. In curren
cy; that the bonds aro then converted
Into eapllul for tho national banks, up
on which thoso institutions Issiio their
circulation, bearing six percent, inter
est; und that they aro exempt from
taxation by tho government nnd tho
States, and thereby enhanced two per
cent, in tho hands of tho holders. Wo
thus havo an nggregnto of seventeen
per cent, which may bo received upon
each dollar by tho owners of govern
ment securities. A system that produ
ces such results is Justly regarded as
favoring a few at the expense of tho
many, nnd has led to tho further inqui
ry whether our bondholders, In view of
tho largo profits which they havo enjoy
ed, would themselves be nverso to a
settlement of our indebtedness upon a
plan which would yield them n fair re
muneration, and nt tho samo tlmo bo
Just to tho tax-payers of tho nation. Our
national credit should bo Hncredly ob
served; but In making provisions for
our creditors wo should not forget what
Is duo to tho masses of tho people. It
may Ik) assumed that tho holders of our
securities hnvo already received upon
tneir liomls a larger amount than their
orlglnnl investment, measured by n
gold standard. Upon this statement of
facts It would seem but Just and equita
ble that tho six per cent, interest now
paid by tho government should bo np
piled to tho reduction of thu principal
beml-annual Instalments, which lu six
teen years and eight months would
liquidate thu entiro national debt. Six
per cent, in gold would nt present rates
bo equal to nino per cent, lu curroncy,
and equivalent to tho payment of tho
debt one und n half times inn fraction
less than seventeen years. This, in con
nection with all tho other advantages
derived from their Investment, would
afford to tho public creditors a fair nnd
liberal compensation for the use of their
capital, nnd with this they should bo
satisfied."
Wo nro not prepared to endorse this
scheme, but havo no hesitation In say
ing thut tho proposition of paying off
tho principal of the 6-20 bonds In gold
Is a monstrous fraud on tbo people.
These bonds were bought and paid for
In currency, and by what right, either
legal or equitable, do their holders
claim gold ? Lot us illustrate i In 1801
a British nobleman tent to this country
$10,000 in gold. Itwasthonat a pre
mium of 2.75, and with it ho bought
$27,500 In greenbacks. With theso ho
bought $27,600 of 5-20 bonds. The In
terest recelvod to this time alono
amounts to $10,000, and yet that Eng
lishman prated about repudiation, aud
days ho must have besides this enor
mous Interest $27,600 lu gold for the
principal, which ut pre sent rotes would
be in currency $30,123,001 AAA $10,000
for I tcrest received and t his bond-holder
by his Investment In gold four years
ago of $10,000 realizes $40,123,00.
TaKonnothcrllluslrntlon, Just previous
to fho war, nnd boforo the passage of tho
Legal Tender Act, ft man purchased n
farm for $30,000 In gold. The vendor
not wishing tho money Immediately,
took n nolo therefore. In 1803 he called
upon thopurehascrforhls$30,000. That
gentleman quietly sold the coin for $00-
000 In currency, compelled tho vender
to tnko $30,000 of currency In paymont
and had Just $30,000 left I This we
shotiltl call rank rcpadlatlon,yct it was
legalized by an act of Congress.
Again, Pennsylvania had, previous to
the war, n number of bonds outstand
ing payablo In gold, many of them bo
Ing held by widows and orphans, When
tho Legal Tender Act was passed, our
Legislature not only paid tho Interest
in currency, but the principal. If that
was fair andjust then, ft i'j now.
Wo aro In favor of ouo currency for
tho pcoplo and tho bondholder. If tho
one gets gold, let tho other have it, if
the one pays taxes on his property, lot
the other do so. All that we nsk is equal
nnd exact Justice among all men, and
we shall oppose to the uttermost all
legislation creating a moneyed monop
oly. Minerity Representation.
The Sunbury Gazette has n very time
ly arttclo on the subject, advocating its
application to the election of members
of tho Legislature. Wo do not think
the remedy consist! in trebling tho
present number of Representatives.
Senator Buckalcw's plan of Cumulative
Voting Is the only one that seoms to
us practicable and fair. It gives to each
party, representation In proportion to
its numbers, and voters In minority
districts do not throw away their votes
as Is now the case. Wo nre glad to seo
tho opposition press discussing the sub
ject, becauso tho reform must be inau
gurated by them.
We would not limit the prlnelplo to
tho election of members of tho Legls
laturo; but would extend it to County
Commissioners, to tho election of U. S.
Senators, and of members of the lower
House of Congress.
