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. -

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

points within that territory, and authorized the
establishmtiot of post-oflices at "Astoria and such

The preservation of peace with the Indian j

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. Just ice has
been_ done to them, and they are grateful to the
government for it. A few chiefs and interested
persons mny object to this mode of payment, but
it is believed to be the only mode of preventing
frniuLand imposition from being prat:tired upon
•
the great body' of common Indians, cunstitnting a
majority of all the tribes.
it is gratifying to perceive thiit a number of the
tribes have recently manifested nn increased in•
terest in the establishment of schools among
Meth, and arc mak.ing rapid advances tit agricul

tity of litod Mr th 4 support, and au some cases a
surplus to dispose of to their neighbors. The
comfit' is by which those who have received vet
a very limited education, and have engaged in ng.•

The aecomp?ny rag report of the Secretary of
the Navy presfoit a satisfactory and gratifying
account of the (Malition and operations of the un
it
Nal service during he. past year. Our comMerce
has jib
in
activity, no:-
with safety nod sitecel.s, tit evety quarter or the
,dobe under the protection of our !Lig; which the
navy has caused to be respected in the most &s
-mut seas.
lii the Gtdf of Mexieu a n d in the Palifiec the
officers and met) 01 our squadron d top! iyed
distinimi.sheil gallantry, cud performed valuable
services. In the early stages of the, war with
Mexico, her portS on hoth roasts were blockaded,
and more recently many of theM have be e n cap.
mall and held by the navy. Men - acting in co
operation with the laud furies, the naval officers
and men have performed gallant and distinouished
services on tondos well us on water. and deserve
the high commendation of the country.
While other 'maritime pail•,ers are adding to.
their navies large nunibers;of war steamers, at .was
a wise policy.on our part to make similar addil ions
to our navy. 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.
