New :tlexico, though situated in the interior, and without a tea coast. is known to contain much fertile land, to abound in rich mines of LIW precious metals, and to he copy:tide of sustaining a largo population.

A gloat emporium will doubtless speedily arise on the California coast, which may be deetined to rival in importance New Orleans itself. The depot of the vast commerce which most exist on the Pacific, will probably_ be at some point on the Bay of Francisco, will and will occupy the same relation to the whole western coast of that urban, as New Orleans does to the Valley of the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. To this de pot our 111.1111C10118 whale ships will resort,. with their car goes to trade, relit and obtain supplies. This of itself will lamely help to build up a city which would soon be come the center of a great and rapidly increasing com p-lore!. Situated on a safe harbor, sufficiently capacious for all the natives, as well as the marine of the world, and convenient to excellent timber for ship ,building, owned by the United States, it must become our great Western Naval l)opot. it was knower that miles of predous metals existed to a considerable extent in Califorsala at the time of its acqui sition. Recent discoveries render it probable that these mines ate more ettensive and valuable than was antici pated. The accountsof the abundance of gold in that territory are of melt an estraordmary character as would scarcely command belief, were they not corroborated by the , authentics reports of officers in the public service, } t ho hare visited the mineral districts, and derived the 'facts which they det.til trout - personal observation. Re linttent/to credit the reports in general circulation, as to the qua utity of gold, the officer commanding our forces n California visited the mineral districts in July last, for the porpos*o of obtaining correct information on the sub jrct. H is report to the War Departanont, ofthe result of his examination, and the ,f4cut ebt tined on the spot, is berew.th laid before Congruss. When ho visited the couniry. there were about lour thousand persona engag. ed in collecting gold. There ie evoiy reason to believe that the number of perstms so employed has since been augmented. The olipl..frations already made warrant the belief that the supply is Very large, and that gold is found at various places in au extensive district of country. Information received fronrofficersoT the Navy and oth er sources, though not so full and minute, confirm the accounts of the commander of,,ont'unlitary force in Vali fernia. It appears. also, from these reports, that mines ' of quickstlyea are found in the vicinity or the gold re gion. One of them is now being vt•orked, and it, ed to be among tho most productive-in the world: - The ell'octs producad by the discovery of these rich mineral deposits. and the success winch has attended the labors of these who have resorted to them, have produc ed u surprisiag change in the state 01 affairs in Californ ia. Labor commands a most .exhorbiant price, and all others pursuits but that of searching for-lho precious rue. are abandoned. Nuarly the whale of the male pop ulation of the country have gone to the gold district.— Ships arriving on they rentat are deserted by their crews, and their voyages suspended for the want of sailiire. Our coin mandi tg officer theraC entertains apprehensions that soldiers cannot be kept tit the public service without a large increase of pay. Desertions in his command have become frequent, and he recommends that that° %Nilo shall withstand the strong temptation, and remain faith; ful, shall be rewarded. This abundance of gold, and the all engrossing pur suit of it, hays already caused, in California, an unpre cedented rise in the price of the necessat iris of life. That we may the mote speedily and fully avail our- ve Tun only undeeeir inisaras v.:1101 have ',HI of our Olt 11 twice (mu the bre,li iog •otrt selves of the undeveloped wealth of these mines, it is deemed of vast importance that a branch of the mint of the United States be authorized to ho established, at your present session, in California,- Among other signal ad vantattes which would result from such an estoblishment, would be that of rrisiug the gold to its par valtio,in that territory. A branch mint of the United States at the great commercial depot on the west coast, would convert into our own coin not only the gold derived from our own rich mines, but also the bullion and specie which our i COIIIIIIEI[OO may bring from the whole west coast of Chn tral and South Atnerice. The west coast of America' and the adjacent interior embrace the richest and hest mines of Mexico, New Grenada, Central America, Chili and Peru. Tho bullion and epecio drawn front these 1 countries, and especially from those of Western Mexico and Peru, to nit amount in value of many millions of 6l late, are now 1611%1111y diverted and carried by the ships of (great Britain to her own ports, to bo coined or used to sustain her National Bunk,. and thus contribute to in crease her ability ty command so much of the cortirucce of the world. If n branch mint be established at the gacat commercial point-on.that coast, a vast amount of bullion and specie would flow 'thither; to be re-coined, and P i ntos thence to New Orleans, New York and the Atlantic cit ies. Tho amount of our constitutiondi -currency at hehne wotild be greatly, increased, while its circulation alu'oad would be promoted. It is well known to ous.meichet its trailing to China and the west coast of America.. that great iuconveitience and loss aro experienced from the fact that our coing ate not citrient at their par value in these countries. , n , The rowers of Europe, far rerouted om 'Wei vest`s coast of America, by they Atlantic Ocean, which inter cents, and by a tedious oed.dartgerous navigation around the Southern Cape of the .Continent of America, ,can never successfully compete with the United States in the ' rich and extensive commerce which, is opernurto uti, at so much less cost by the acquisition gf California. 'The vast importance and commercial advantages of California have heretofore remained undeveloped by the government of:the country of which it constitutes a part. Now that this fine province is a part of this country, all the States of the Union, some morednimediately and di, reedy than others, are deeply interested in the spectly de velopment of its wealth and resources. No section of our country is more interested, or will be more benefited than the commercial, navigating and manufacturing in tercets id the Eastern Stoles, Our planting and farming interests in every part of the ynion will be greatly ben— ' efited by it. As our commerce and navigation are en larged and extended, oar exports of agricultural products'" and .of manufacturesevill bo increased; an d in the new markets thus opened, they cannot fail 'to command roe Inutierating, and profitable prices. , 'rho acquisition of California and New MeXico, the settlemetit of the Oregon boundary!, and the onnexation of Texas, combined, are of greater iCensequenee, and will add more to the strength and 'wealth of the nation than any which have pr eekt -thtle.the adoPtion of the eonit.tittion. But to effect these great results, not l only California. but New Mexico must be brought under the conOrol of I regularly authorized governments. , The existing Condi tion of California, and of that part of New Mexico Icing 'west of the Rio Grande, and without the limits oft ein% imperiously demand that Congress should at •its , paesent session, organize territorial governmentf over thorn.

California, regularly orga nized territorial governments. The causes of the failure to do this at the last session ofCongress are well known, and deeply to bo regretted. With the opening prospects of increasedprosperity and national greatness which the acquisition of these rich and extensive territorial poses sinus afford, how irrational it would be to forego or to re ject these advantages, by the agitation of a domestic question which in doeval with the existence of Our gov ernment itself, and to endanger by internal strifee, gee graphical divisions. and heated contests for political pow er, or for any other canse, the harmony of the glorious union of our confederated Stales; that union which binds ns together as one people, end which for sixty years has been our shield and protectiou agaiust every danger. In the eyes of the would and of posterity, how trival and insignificant will be all our internal divisions and struggles compared with the preservation of this Union of these states in all its vigor and with all its countless blessings ! No patriot would foment and excite, geo graphical and sectional divisions. No lover Of country would deliberately • alculato the value of the Union Future generations would look in amazement on the folly of such a course. - Other tuitions at the present day would look upon us with astonislituent ; and such of them ea desired to maintain and proptigato thrones and monarchical or riris furiesl principles, will view it with exultation and delight, because in it they will see tiro - elements of faction, which they hope must uhi widely overturn our system. Ours is great example of a prosperous and free self-governed re public, commanding the admiration and imitation of all the levers of freedom tlirimghout the world. flow sol emn, therefore, is the duty, how impressive the mitt upon us and upon all parts of our country, to cultivate a patri otic spirit of harmony, of good ,fellowship, of compro mise, and mutual concession in the administration of the incomparable system of government formed by our fath om in the midst of almost insuperable difficulties, and transmitted to us with the injunction that we should en joy its blessings and hand it down uniniparell to those who may come after us. In view of the high and• respensiblo dirties which we ow•e to ourselves and to mankind. I trust you may ho able at year present session to approach the adjustment of the onlg• domestic question which seriously threatens or prob ably ever can threaten to disturb the harmony and sue cessfulyperation of our system. " The Immensely valuable possessions of Now Mexico • and California are already inhabited ('.a considerable population. Attracted by their . great fertility , their min eral wealth, their commereial `Wit vantages, - and Jrealu briety of tho climate, emigrants from the cider States, in great numbers, ere already preparing to seek new homes in these inviting rep,rioua. Shall the dissimilarity of the domestic institutions of the different States prevents us (ruin providing for them suitable goveruments f These institutions existed rattle adoption of the (;onstimtien, but the obstacles which they interposed were overcome by that spirit of compromise which is now invoked. In a conflict of opinions, or of interests, feat or imaginary, between different sections of our country, neither can justly demanded all which it might desire to obtain. Each, in the uuo spirit of our institutions should concede something to the other. Our gallant force in the Mexican war, by vliose pa triotism andanperalleled deeds of arms we obtained these 1/053131121101115 as an indemnity for our just demands ettainst blexim o. wore composed of citizens who belonged to no ono State or section of our Union. They. were tnen from slaveholding and non-slaveholding Suttee,- from the North and the South, from the East and tho West.— They were all companions in arms mad fellow-citizens of the saute common country, eugaged id the same com mon cause. When prosecuting the War they were broth ern and friends and Shared alike with each other common toils, dangers and suffering& Now,.witen their work is ended, when peace is-restored, and they return again to their homes, put off their habili nenta of war, take their places itfeeeipty. and resume their per nits in civil life, surely a spirit of harmony and concession, and of equal regard for (heir right of all, and of all sections of tho, Union ought to prevail in providing governments for the acquired territories—the fruits of their common, ser vice. The whole people of the United States and of every State contributed to defray the expenses of that war ; and it wcnild not be just, for any one section to ex clude,another from all participation itt the acquired terri tore. This would not 141 in consouance with the just, system of governioent which the farmers of th e Consti tution adopted. The question is believed to be rather abstract than ,practical, whetherolavery ever can or:would exist in any portion of the acquired territory, even if it were left to the option of the slave-holding States:lhemselves. From the nature of the climate and production, in much the larger portion of it, it is certain it could never exist ; and in the remainder the probabilities nro that it Would not. But however this may be, the question, involving, as it does, a principal of equality of rights of the seperato and several States, "as equal copartners in The confederacy; should not be disregarded. In organizing governments over these territories, no duty imposed an Congress by the Constitution requires that they should legislate on the subject, while ,their power to do so is not only seritiusly questioned, but denied by many of the soundest expounders of that instrument. Whether Congress shall legislate or not, the people of the acquired territories,when assembled in convention to form State Constitutions, will possess the sole and exciu sive power to determine for themselves whether slavery shall or shall not exist•within their limits. if Congress shall abstain from interfering with the question the peo ple of these territories will - be left free to adjust it as they may think proper when they apply for admission as States, into the Union. No enactment of Congress could restrain the people of any of the sovereign States of the Unium,uld or new, North or - Seuth, 'slaveholding or.non-slaveholding, from determining the churce-tor of their own domestic institutions, as they may.deein wise or proper. Any and all the States possesses this right, and Congress cannot deprive them of it. The people of Georgia might, if they chose, so alter , their Constitution us to !Abolish slave's' within its limits ; and the people of Vermont' might so alter their Constitution ns to athait slavery within its limits. Both States would possess .the right ; though, as all know, it is not probable that either would exert it. It ,a fortunate for the peace and harmony of the Union 'that this question is in its nature temporary, and can on ly continue for.the brief period which will intervene be fore California and New Mexico antsy bo admitted as States into tho Union. From the tido of population now flowing into them, it is highly probable that this will soon OCCIII% Considering the several States and the citizens of the several States as equal, and entitled to equal rights under the Constitution, if this - -were an 'original question, it might welll be insisted on that the,prineiple of non-inter ference is thetrue doctrine, and that Congress could not. in absence of any express grant of power, interfere with their relative rights.

Proper defences on land Will be necessary for the security and proteclion of our pmsessions ; and the establishment of Navy Yards, and a l)oelr for the repair and consUnctioasof vessels, will be important alike to .our Navy mud cominercial marina.— Without such establishments every vessel, whether of the Navy or the Merchant service requiring repair, IliUBl, at great expense, come round Cape Horn, to one of oar Atlantic yards for that purpose. With such establish ments, vessels, it is behoved, may ho built or repaired, as cheaply in California as upon the Atlantic coast.— They would give employment to litany of our enterptit ing ship buildiers and moirchats, and greatly. facilitate and enlarge our commerce to the Pacific. As it is ascertained that mines of gold, silver, copper quicksilver exhists in New Mexico and California, and that nearly all the lands where they ore found' belong to the United States, it is deemed important to ;the public interests that provision be made for a geologicitl and nii nerologicol examination of these regions. AleaSures sho'd be adopted to pieserve the •Mineral Lands,l especially such as contain the precious metals, for the use of the States; or, if brought into market, to separate them from the farming lands, and dispose of them in suchman ner a s to,secure alarge return of money to the treasury, and at the saute time lead to the development of their wealth by individual proprietors and purchasers. To do this it will be necessary to provide for an immediate sur vey and location of the lets. If Congress shankd deem it proper to dispose of the mineral lands, they shduld be sold in small quantities and at a fixed minimum price. I reccommend that Surveyor Generals' Offices be au thorized to be established in New Mozico and 'California, and provisions made for surveying and bringing the pub lic land into market at the earliest practical period. In disposing of these lands, I recommend that the right of 1 pre-emption be secured, and liberal grants intide to tha emigrants who have settled, or may settle upon them. It will be important fo extend our revenue! laws over these territories, and especially over California, at an early period. ,There is already a considerabld commerce with California; and until ports of entry sballhestablish ed and collectors appointed, no revenue can he received. If these and other necessary and proper measures be ad opted for the devetopement of the wealth and resources of New Mexico and California, and regular toy toilel goy.' ernments be established over them, such willlprobably bo the rapid enlargement of our commerce and I navigation, , and such the addition to the National wealth, hat the pre sent generation may live to witness the controling coni merchil and monetary power of the world, transferred from Londe, and other European emporiu ms; to the city of Nee/ York. The apprehensions which wero, entertainti t d by some of o u r statesmen, in the earlier periods of the government, that our system was incapable of operating with sullicient energy and success over largely extended territorial lim its. and that if this were attempted, it would fall to pieces by its own weakness, have been disappointed by our ex perietice: By the division of power between the State and Federal governments, the latter is found to operate with as much energy in the extremes as in the centre.— It is as efficient in the remotest of the thirty States which now compose the Union. as it was in the`thh teen States which formed our Constitution_ Indeed it niriv well be doubted, whether, if our present -populatien . had been confined within the limits of the original thirteen Statue. the tendencies to ceetralizatien and consolidation would not have been a ch as to have encroached up o n the es:sen- Biel reserved rights of the 'States, and ekes . t o have Made the Federal governMent a widely different Ane, practical iv, Trent what it is in the theory, and wits intedud to be by framers.

In pursuance of the provisions of the 13th oiticleofthe Treaty of Peace. hiendship, Limits, tied Settlement. with the Republic of Mexico, and of the Act of July 129th. 1818, claims of our citizens, which had been "already liquidated and decided against the Mexican' Republic. amounting. with the interest thereon, to $909.3,632 51c., have been liquidated and paid. Theta remains to be paid of these claims, v 4,192 26c. Congress, at its last session, having made no provision for the executing the 13th article:of the Treaty by which the United States assume to make satisfaction for, the "unliquidated claims" of our citizens against Mexico, to "an amount.not exceeding $3,550,000," the subject is agars recommended to your favorable consideration. The exchange of rattfientious of the Treaty with Alex ice took place on the 30th of iNlay 1848.* Within ono year after that time, the Commissioner, and Surveyor. which each Government stipulates to appoint, are requir ed to meet "at the post of San Die4o; and pranced to run and mark the said boundary in its whole course to the mouth of the Rio Bravo del butte:" It will be seen from 'this provision, - that the period within which a Commiss ioner arid Surveyor of tho respective Getvernmonta are required to meet at San Diego, will expire on the 30th of May. 18.19.

Measures were adopted at the earliestyracticable per iod to organize '• the Territorial Government of Oregon." as authorized by the act of the 14th of August last. The Governor and Marshal of the Torritosy,.accornpanied by a sme ll military escort, left the frontier of Missouri iu September last, and took the• Southern recto, by the way' of Saitta-Fo and the river Gila, to .California, , with the intention of prOceeding thence, in ono of our vessels' of, war, to their destination. The Government was fully advised of the groat importance of his early arrival in the country, and it is coutidently believed he niuy reach Oregon in the latter part of the present • month, oi early in the next. The other officers of the Territory have'Pro castled by sea. -In the month of May last, I communicated /derma tiowto Congress that an Indian war had broken out in Oregon, and recommended that authority be given to raise no adequate number of volunteers to proceed with= out delay to the assistance of ottr fellow citizens in • that Territory. Thacuthority not having been granted by C o ngress, as soon as their services could ho dispensed with in Mexico, orders wore issued to the Regiment of Mounted Riflemen to proceed to Jefferson Barracks, in Missouri. and to prepare to march to Oregon, as-soon as the necessary provision could ho mado. - Shortly before it was ready to march. it was arrested by the,provision of the act passed by Congress on the last day of the last session, which directed that all the non-commissioned officers, musicians and privates of that Regiment, who had ()emit' service, be discharged. - The effect of this provision Was to disband tho rank mid filo of the Regi went; and before their place's could be filled by recruits. the season had so far advanced,.that it was impracticable for hie proceed until the opening of the next Spring. In.the month of October last, the accompaii3 lug com munication was received from the Governor of the tern porary government of Oregon, giving inforination of the continuance of the Indian disturbances, and the destitu tion and defencelessmonditien *Ube inhabitants.
