The amount of the public debt to be contracted should be limited to the lowest practical SIMI, and should be extinguished as early alter the conclusion of , the war as the means of the treasury INN per mit. ' ' , With this view, it is recom mended that, as soon as the war shall ite over, all the surplus in the treasury, not needed for other indispen sable objects, shall consftute a sinking fund, to be applied to the pun has° of this funded debt, and that authority e conferred by the' law for that purpose. The act of the sixth of August, 18.16, "to establish a warehousing system," has been in operation more than a year, and has proved to he an important auxiliary to the tardier 1846, in augmenting, the revenue, and extending the commerce of the country. Whilst it has tended to enlarge commerce, it has been hen acial to our manufactures, by diminishing Weed sales at auction -of foreign goods at low prices, to-raise the duties to be advanced op !them, and by checking fluctuations in the ma'rket. The, system, although sanctioned by the ea:pc:llene° of othercountries, was en tirely new in the UniteffStates, and is sus ceptible of improvement in some of its provis ions. The Secretary of the Treasury, upon whom was devolved large discretionary pow orb in carrying this measure into abet, has collected, and is now collecting, the practical results of the system in other countries, where it has lung been established, and will report at an early period df your session such fur tln..r regulations suggested by the investiga tion as may render it still more effective and beneficial. ' By, the act to "provide for the better or ganization of the treashry, and for the colice tion,l safe-keeping and disbursement of the ! Bs mild' revenue," . all banks were discontinued ' as al agents of the government, and ',the paper\ ,, urrency issued by them was-no longer permitted to he received in payment of public, dues. The constitutional treason' ereatell by this act went into °legation on tho first of Jantia •iy last. Under the system established by it, the public nionlevs have been collected; .safe ly kept, and disbursed by the direct agency of officers of the government in gold and sil ver; and transfers of largo amounts have been made from points of collection to points of disbursement, without loss to the treasury, r injury, or inconvenience to the trade of tie country. - While the fiscal operations of the govern tired and thirty-one acres, The prove, it y'of the Wesiern Slates and Territories in %%Inch these lands lie %s ill be advanced byhheir speedy sale.— liy withholding them from market, their growth and increase of population would be retarded, \yliile thousands of our enterprising and inetitori -418 frontier popuhiliori would be deprived of the opportunity of securing freeholds for theinserves and their families. lint in addition to the' getter stf consideration which rendered the early sale of these lands 'proper. it was a leading object at this time to dertYc as large a sum - as possible front this :millet:. und'thus 111116111.11 by that amount, the public loan 'rendered necessary by the existence of a foreigo war. It is estimated that not less than ten millions of acres of the public lands will be surveyed and lie in a condition to be proclaimed for sale during , the year la mil. 7 , In Inv last annuli message I presented the rea -1 sons %%Sidi, in my judgment, rendered it proper ; t I o graduate and reduce the Price of such of the public lands as have remained urvfold btr tout pc riolis after they had hcen offered for sale at public unction. Many millions of acres of public lands lying arilstin the limits of several of the Western Stalest have been otreredlin the market, and been subject to gale at priyate;eittry for more than twenty years, and large Autintities for • more limn ,t rty years, at the lowest price prescribed by the existing laws, and it has been found that they will not command that price. They mu'fit remain unsold and uncultivated for an indefinite period, unless. thC price demanded for them by 'file government Shalt bd reduced. No satisfactorg reason is per- Ceived why they should be lonkr held at rates above their real value\ N't the present period an additional reason exists for adoptittg the measure recommended. When the country' is engaged in a foreign war, and we must necessprily resort fo loans, it would seem to be the ;bottle of wisdom that we should avail ourselves of all bell resources, and thus limit the amount of the public indebted ness to the lowest posstble sum.',. 1 recommend that the existing laws on' the subject of pie-emption rights be amended and modified so as to operate prospectively, and to embraCe all who may settle upon the public lands and make improvements upon :them before they are surveyed, as well as afterwards, in all cases where such settlements may be made after the Indian tale shall have been extinguished. If the right of pre-eruption be' thus extended, it will embrace a large and meritorious class of our citizens. It will increase' the number of small freeholders upon bur borders, who will be enabled thereby to educate their children, and othCrwise materially improve their condition, while they will be found at all times, as they have ever prov ed ihemselves to be, in the hour of danger to our country', ametig - our harillest and best volunteer soldiers, ever ready to tender their services in cases of emergencY, and among the last to leave the field as long as an enemy remains to be en countered. Such a policy will also impress these .patriotic pioneer emigrant• with deeper feelings of gratitude for the parental care of their govern inelit, when they find their dearest interests se cured to Melo by the permanent laws of the land,' and that they are no longer in danger of losing their homes and hard-earned improvements by being brought into competition with a- more wealthy class of purchasers at the land sales. t, The attention of Congre was invited, at the:4 last and the preceding sessi in, to the importance of establishing a territorial government over our posiessions in Oregon ; and it is to be regretted that there was no legislation on the subject.— ' Our citizens who inhabit that distant region of I country are still left without the protection of our laws, or any regularly organiZed government.— liete're the question of Inintsand boundaries of the territory of Oregon 'was definitely settled, from the necessity of theq condition, the inhabitants i had established a temporary government of their own. ( Besides the want of legal authority for I , con tinuing such a golierninentit is wholly inn& i vitiate to protect thcilit in their rights of person and pr4perty,,or to secure to tlibin the enjoyment of the privileges of otter citizens, to which they ' c are elittleil tinder 111.

In addition to the inhabitants in that territory, who had previously emigrated tp it, largii Darn'. hers of our citizens have followed them (hiring the present year;: and it is not doubted that (la- ire , the next iiiid . subsciptent years their numbers will be greatly increased. Congress, at its laSt session, established post routes leading to Oregon, and between different points within that territory, and authorized the establishmtiot of post-oflices at "Astoria and such other placca on the coast of the Pacific, withict the territory of the U. States, ns the public in terests may require." Post-offices have accord ingly been established,, deputy postmasters ap pointed, and proviition made for the traneportation of the mails, , . , The preservation of peace with the Indian j tribes residing West of the Rocky mountains will render it proper that authority should be , git en by law for tne eppointinent of , an adequate number of Indian agents to reside aiming them. I recommend that a surveyor general's office be t i o tu i l l e rk l e a t ud a r t t be m established itt that territory, and 'that the public Ends be surveyed and brought early day. 1 recommend, also, that grants, upon liberal t n e t r a l d n e 9' to of a i li n c li i t t e iz d eils ua o l l i ' i t i h t e ies UTit t e l d " States who have emigrated, or may hereafter with'in a prescribed period emigrate, to Oregon, and settle upon them. These hardy and adventurous citizens who have encountered the dangers and privations of adong and t o il so me journey, and have_at length found an abiding TI r@. for themselves and their families u p on th e utmost verge of our western limits, should be secured in the homes which they have . improved by their labor. I refer you to the accompanying report of the Secretary of War for a detailed account of the op erations of the various branches of the public ser vice connected with the department tinder his charge. The duties devolving. 011 this-depart cent have been unusually onerous and responsi.: ble during the post year, tied have been discharged with ability and success. Pacific relations continue to exist with the va rious Indian tribes, and most -of Mein manifest n strong friendship for the United _States. Some depredations were committed during the mist Year upon our trains transporting supplies for the army on the road between the western border of Mis souri and Sante Fe. These depredations, which !are supposed to have been committed by bands irons the region of New Mexico, have been ar rested by the presence of a military force, ordered out for that purpose. - Some outrages have teen (bands by a portion of the north-we tern bands upon the weaker and comparatively dc fenceless neighboring tribes. Prompt 111/./1811fC8 were InliCll 10 P revent smith ' 9CCUTlCllee3itilfuttne. Between one and two thousand Indians, belong ing to several tribes, have been removed during ( the year from the east of the 3114vissippi to the ountry allotted to them west of that river,. as 4heir permanent home ; and arrangements hare been made, lin others to follow. Since the treaty of 18.16 with the Cherokees, the feuds among them uproar to hare subsided, and they have become more united and contented th an th e y have been fur many yitirs Past. The commissioners appointed itt pursnance of,the net of Jun 6. 27th, 1846, to settle clouds arising under the treaty of 1815-36 with that tribe, have exe cuted Weir duties ; and after a patient investiga tion, and 'a fair eaniniunioncof all cases brought before them, closediithei labors in the month of July last. This is thel fourth board of commissioners which have been Orginnzod under this treaty. Ample opportunity has been atNrded to all those in tere3ted to bring forward their claims. No doubt is elite lamed that impartkaPistice has been done by, the late board, a id.thaat'all yalid claims embraced' by the treaty have been Tonsid ' ered and allowed. This result,- and the fi lia l set tlement to be made with this tribe under-the trea ty of 146, which will be completed and laid be ore you during your session, will adjust all roes ! lions of cord tit.ersy s between them mid the truited States,. and produee'a state of relations with them simple, well-defined and sattstnetory. Under the discretionary authority conferred by the, net of the 3d of Morch Iwo, the onnottics due to _Me various tribes have been, paid during •I he present year to the heads of hitailies instead of to their chiefs, or such persons as they might desig nate, as requited by the laws previously existing., Th, s _ w od o of payment hag , g vett general satisfac tion id - the great body of the Indians.

The four war steamers authorized by the act of the 3d of March, IN-li, arc in the course of construction. • In addition to the four War steamers authorized by this act, the Secretary of the Navy has, in pnr suance of its provisions, entered into contracts for the construction of live steamers to be employed in the transportation of the Hinted States mail " from New York to New Orleans, touching, at Charleston, Swann - fib and Havanna, and from Havanna to Chagres i"• for ' three steamers to 'be. employed in like manner from Panama to Oregon, -" so as to connect with the mail front Havanna to Chagres across the Isthmus ;" and for five steamers to be'employed in-like manner from New York to Liverpool.' These steamers will be the property of the contractors, but are to be built "under the superintendence anti &rem ion of a na val constructor its the employ of the Nat%y Depart ment, and to bail° constructed 718 tio,render them convertible at the least possible expense into war steamers of the first class." A prescribed number of naval oflicerS, nq well as a post office agent, arc to he on [mud of them, and authority is 'reserved to the Navy Depart ment at all times to " exercise control over said steaniship,," and "to have the right to take them for the exclusive use and service of the United Stares, upon making proper compensation to the contractors therelim" %Vhilst these steamships will he .employed in transportink the mails of the United §tates coast wise, and to foreign countries, minty an annual compensation to be paid to the owners; they will be always ready, upon no enwrgeney requiring it, to be convent(' Into war steautPrs ; and the right reserved to take them for public use, will add greatly to thetlliciency and strength of this de scription of our octal force. To Tot the steamers thus authorized under contracts made by the Sec retory of the Navy, should be added live other steamers, authorized 'wider contracts made in pur suance of law by the Postmaster GeMeral, making an addition, in the whole, ,of eighteen war steam ers, subject to be taken fine pußlie.hse. 'As k iller contracts for the transportatiOn of the mail to foreign countries may be authorized by Congress, ibis number may be enlarged indefinitely.
