MESSAGE
OF TUE
PRESIDENT IE THE UNITED SLATES,
MEM
Commencement of the Second Regular
Session of the 40th Congress.
Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and House
of Representatives
Upon the reassembling of Congress,
It again becomes my day Lo call your
attention to the state of the Union,
and to its continued disorg.inlzed con
dition under the various laws Which
have been passed upon the subject of
reconstruction.
It may be safely assumed, as an axi
om in the government of States, that
thegreatest wrongs inflicted upon a
people are caused by unjust and arbi
trary legislation, or by the unrelenting
decrees of despotic rulers, and that
the timely revocation of Injurious and
oppressive measures Is the greatest
good that can be conferred upon a na
tion. The legislator or ruler who hue
the wisdom and maguanimity to re
trace his steps, when convinced of er
ror, a ill Conner or later be rewarded
with the respect and gratitude of an
intelligent and patriotic people.
Our own history—although embrac
ing a period less than a century—
affords abundant proof that most, if
not all, of our domestic troubles are di
rectly traceable to violations of the
organic 4W and excessive legislation.
The moati,striking Illustrations of this
fact are furnished by the enactmente
bf the pant three years upon the ques
tion of recoustructiou. After a fair
trial they have substantially failed
and proved pernicious in their results,
and there seems to be no good reason
why they should longer remain upon
the statute book. States to which the
Constitution guarantees a republican
forum of government have been reduced
to military dependencies, in each of
which the people have been made
subject. to the arbitrary will of thecom
m nd n g general. Although the Conan
tution requires that each state shall be
represented in Congress, Virginia.
Misaiseippi aud Texas are yet excluded
from the two Houses, and contrary to
the expre,provi-ions of that instru
ment, were denied participation in the
recent election (or a President and
Vice Presideut of the Cuited States.
The attempt to place the white Impute
lion under the domination of persons
of co.or in the South liar, impaired, if
nut destroyed, the kindly relations
that had previously existed between
them ; and mutual distrusc has engen
dered a feeling if animosity which,
leading in &line instances to collision
and bloodshed, has prevented that co
operation between the two races so
essential to the SUCee 9 A of Industrial
enterprise in the Southern States.—
Nor have the inhabitants of those
States alone sulTered from the disturb
ed conditiou of ads irs growing out of
these Congressional enactment.. The
entire Union has been agitated by
grave apprehensions of troubles which
might again Involve the wee of tire
nation ; its Interests have been iejur
lonely affected by the derangement of
business and labor. and the consequent
wont of prosperity throeghoet that
portion of the chuutry.
The Federal Constitution—the map
na charter of American rights, under
whose wise and salutary provisions we
hare successfully conducted All our
domestic and foraign spline., sustained
ourselves Iu peace and in war, and be
come a great nation among the powers
Of the earth—must assuredly be now
adequate to the settlement of questions
growing out of the eivil war waged
alone for its vindication. This great
fact is made most manifest by thecon
ilillon Of the country when Congress
toseinbledin the month of December,
Civil strife had ceased ; the spir
it of the rebellion had spent its eutire
force; in the Southern States the peo•
phi had warmed into national life, and
throughout the whole country a
healthy re-action in plait! , sentiment
had taken place. fly the application
af the eirgple yet effective proviaions of
the Constitution, the P,xemitive Do.
partment, with the voluntary aid of
the States, had brought the work of
reetoration as near completion us was
within the scope of its authority, raid
the nation was micourged by the pros
pect of an early and satisfactory ad
justment of all its difficulties. Con
grees, however, intervened, aud, re
lueitig to perfect the work so nearly
consummated, declined to admit mem

stealth{ he ad qinAted, or else !mole to
chnform to the geaulue priticipin, of
republican government,
Under the Intim-nee of party passion
and seetitmal prejudice, other acts
have been {leased not warranted by the
Constitution. Congress luau already
been made faminer with my views re
specting the ""tentire-orbfflea bill."
I:xperlenee hag pawed that Its eqpeal
is demanded by , the best interests of
the country, and that wnile it Temente
in fame the President cannot enjoin
that rigid accountability of public of.
!leers so essential to an honest and
eflselemst executiop of the laws, Its
revotation would enable the etre-entice
Department to exercise the power of
appointment and removal in accord
ance with the original design of the
Federal Constitution.
The sot of March 2, lad?, making
appropriatictue for the support of the
army let theyear ending June 30, 1868,
and for other purposes, contains pro
visions which Interfere with the Presi
dent's constitutional fu netions lit eom
mainder-imebief of the army, and deny
to States of the Cuion the right to pro
tect themselves by means of their own
militia. These pmvisimis should be
at &me annulled; Air while the firht
might, in times of great emergency,
seriously embarrass the Faseetalve iu
etlorts to employ and direct the com
mon strength of the nation for its pro
tection and preservation, the other Is
contrary to the express dettlaration of
the Constitution, that "a well regula
ted militia being necessary to the se
curity of a free State, the right or. the
people to keep and bent arms shall not
infringed."
It is behaved that the repeal of all
such laws would be accepted by the
American People as at least a partial
'return to the fundamental principles
of the Government, awl an ledloatioa
thathereafter the Constitution is to be
made the Nation's safe and unerring
guide, They can be productive of no
permanent benefit to the country, arid
should not be permitted to ',rand as so
many monbnients of the deficient
wisdom which has characterized our
recent legislation.
The condition of our finances de
mands the early and earliest oonaider
ation of Congress. Compared with
the growth of our population, the pub
lic expenditures have reached an
amoupt unprecedented in our history.
Theltopulation of the United States
in 171* was nearly four millions of
people. Increasing each decade about
thirtythree per cent., it reached in
11500 thirty-one increase
of seven hundred per cent. as the pep
ulatio* in IMO. In 110 it isestimated
that It will reach thirty-eiigh
COMPILER.
or an Increase of eight hundred and
sixty eight per cent. In seventy-nine
years.
The annual expenditures of the Fed
eral Government in 1781 were four
millions two h undred thousand dollars;
In 1820, eighteen millions two hundred
thounand dollars; in laso, forty-one
millions; in 1.;60. sixty-three million.;
in lita, nearly thirteen hundred in il
lions, and in ISBO it is estimated by the
Seeretary of the Treasury, in his
annual report, that they will he three
hundred and eieventy-two mllhons.
By comparing the public disburse
ments of 18611,118014tIlaatell, si lilt those
of Mil, it will be seen that the in•
crease of expenditure since the begin
ning of the Government has been eight
thousand six hundred and eighteen
per centum, while the increase In popu
lation of thesame period waii only eight
hundred and sixtpeight ner centum
Again : the expenses of the Govern
ment la IS6O, the ear of pelee muned l
ately preceding the war. mere on ly six
ty-three ; while in 150, the
year of peace three years after the
war, It is estimated they with lie
three hundred and seventy-two 11111-
11011.4—an increase of four hundred and
eighty-nine per centum, while the In
crease of population was only twenty
one per centum for the same period.
These statistics further show that in
1791 the annual national expenses,
compared with the population, a ere
little more than one dollar per capita,
and iu ISIi but two dollars pet capita ;
while in 19(9 they will reach the ex
travagant sum of nine dollars and see
en ty.eigh t cents per capita.
It will be observed that all of these
statements refer to and exhibit the
dusbutseineuta of pease periods It
may, therefore, be of interest to com
pare the expenditures of the three war
periods—the war with Great Britain,
the Mexican war, and the war of the
rebellion.
In ISI3 the annual expenses inci
dent to the war of 1812 reached their
highest amount—about thirty-one
millions; while our population slight
ly exceeded eight millions, showing
an expenditure of only three dollar+
and eighty cents per capita. In 1447
the expenditure -growing nut of the
war with Mexico reached fifty-five
millions, and the population was
about twenty-one mtlliunv , giving only
two dollars and sixty melts per capita;
the war expenditures called for by
the rebellion reached the vast since it
of twee lukiatiedred and ninety m i I I ion,,
ohien,comparedwith u population of
thirty-four millions, gives thirty-eight
dollars and twenty rent. per capita
From the fourth day of Mandl, 1789,
to the thirtieth day of June, ISel, the
entire expenditures of the (Meet ument
were seventeen hundred million, of
dollars. Duidng diet period we were
engaged in wart' with Great Britain
and Mexico, and were involved
in hostilities with powerful Indian
tribes; Leui , lana Wai punliaied
from France at a cost of fifteen
millions of dollars ,• Flo' ida was eerie,'
to us by Simi n for , Ce I for
nia was acquired from Mexico for
fifteen millions, and the Territory of
New Mexico was obtained front Texas
for the suiu of ten million,. E at 1.), to
11181 the warof the rebellion ‘otn
tneneed ; and from the first of July of
that year to tbeithirtiettiot June, 1 , 165,
the public expenditure reached the
enormous aggregate of thirty-three
hundred minions. Three years of
peace have intervened, end dur
ing that time the diabureements of the
Government have successively been
five hundred apd twenty 121 1 Irons
three hundred and forty-six millions
and three hundred and ninety-three
millions. Adding ,to these amounts
three hundred and seventy-two mil
linus, estimated as necessery for the
fiscal year ending the 30th of June,
1809, we obtain a total expenditure of
sixteen hundred millions of dollars
during the four years immediately
suceeedlng the war, or neatly as much
as was expended during the seventy
two years that preceded the rebellion,
and embraced the extraordinary ex
penditures already named.
These startling facts clearly illus
trate the necessity of retrenchment in
all branches of the public service.—
Abuses which were tolerated during a
war for the perservatinn of the nation
will not rid endured by the people,
now that profound peace prevails.—
Toe receipts from internal revenues
and customs have, during three years,
gradually diminished, and the con
tinuance of useless and extravagant ex
peuditures will involve us in natioual
bankruptcy, or elas-usiate inevitable
au inorease of 01)1E4, already tuo oner

on account of their tuquisitnrlal ehar•

ly are expend fur the iudtary force, a

of dollars, crested during the war of
the Revolution. This amount had
been reduced to forty-five millions
dollars when in 11312 ear was declared

In my message to Congress of De
cember 4, 1 , 1;5, it a as suggested that
policy should be devised a Welt, with•
out being oppressive to the people,
would at once begin to etTeet a reduc
tion of the debt, and, if persisted In,
discharge it fully within a definite
number of years. The Secretary of
the Treasury forcibly recommends
legislation of this character, and justly
urges that the longer it Is deferred the
more difficult must become Its accom
plishment. We should follow the
wise precedents eatabilshed in 1789
and 1810, mid without further delay
make provision for the payment of
our obligatiorn, at AS early a period as
nifty be practicable. The fruits of
their labors should be enioy bv our
citizens, mthor than usea to build up
and sustain moneyed monopolies in
our own and other lambi. Om foreign
debt Is already computed by the Sec
retary of the Treasury at eight hun
dred and fifty millions; citizens of
foreign cmint ries receive interest upon
a large portion of our securities, nod
American tax-payers are made to ~ont
ribute large sums for their support.
The Idea that such a debt is to become
permanent should be at all times tils
carded, as involving taxation tin
heavy to be borne, and payment once
in every sixteen Yeats, at the present
rate of interest, of all amount equal to
the original sum, This vast debt, If
permitted to become permanent and
Increasing, must eventually be gath
ered into the hands or a few, and ena
ble them to exert a dangerous and
rontrolllng power in the affairs of the
Government. The borroaers would
become servants to the lenders—the

were bequeathed to us by the founders
of the Republic, and by our example
teach those who ate to follow us care
fully to avoid the dangers which
threaten a free and independent peo
ple.
Various plans have been proposed
for the payment of the public debt.
However they may have varied as to
the time and mode iu which it should
be redeemed, there cents to be a gen.
eral concurrence an to the propriety
and justice of a reduction to the pre
t rate of interest. The Secretory of
the Treasury ro his report recm
mends five per cent. Congress, In it
bill passed prior to adjournment on
the 27th of July last, agreed upon
four arid a half per cent.; while
by wetly three per cent. has been laid
to be an amply sutrlcient return for
the Investment. The general impres
*lon as to the exorbilancy of the exis
ting rate of interest has led to au in
quiry in the public mind respecting
the consideration which the govern
ment has actually received for its
bonds, and the conclusion Ia becom
ing prevalent that the amount which
it obtained was in real money three or
four hundred per rent. less than the
obligations whipli it tanned in return.
It cannot he denied that we are pay
ing an extravagant per centage for the
use of the money Immo% ed, w Rich was
paper currency, greatly depreciated
below the value of coin. This fact to
made apparent when we consider that
liondbulders receive from the Treasu
ry, upon each dollar they own to gee
ernment securities. six per cent, in
gold, which is nearly or quite equal to
nine per cent. in currency ; that the
bonds are then convented into capital
(or the national banks, upon wutoli
those institutions issue their circula
tion, bearing six per cent. interest ;
and that they are exempt from taxa
tion by the Government and the
StaWs, andaireichy cu heaped two per

We lima Lave en aggregate of cover/ -
teen percent., which may be received
upon each dollar by the owners of

that produces such results Is justly re
garded as favoring a few at ;dip via
peuse of the ntany, mid lies led to the
further' inquiry 'whether our bond-
Indders, in view of the large notate
a rich they have enjoyed, would
themselves be a ver-e to a settlement
of our indebtedness upon a plan which
would yield diem a full remuneration,
and at the same time bejust to the
tax•payers of the tuition. Our nation

but in waking provision for our credi

he assumed that the holders of our se
curities have already received upon
their bonds a larger amount than
theLr original investment, mea , ured
by a gold standard. Upon this state
ment of facts It noold seem but just
and equitable that the six per cent.
firt..reat now paid by the Government
should be applied to Ow ret144104 of
the principal In semdannual Instal
ments, which in sixteen years and
eight months would liquidate the en
tire national debt. Six per cent. in
gold would at present rates be equal to
nine per cent. in currency, and equiv

with alt tits Irate? advirirtages derived
(row their inventavent, would afford to
the public creditors a fair aud liberal

At the beginning of the rebellion

that by making legal tenders and b ink

Legislation for the necomplishtnent
of a result so desirable is demanded by
the highest public con.lilerationA.
The Con.fltution contemplate,' that
the eirculating moth= of the country
shall be unitorm in quality and I :due.
At the time of the formation of that in
strument, the country had Just emerg
ed from the war of the itevolutlmi,
and ua_. , ulfering, from the effects ofa
redundant and worthless papercurren
cy. The sages of that period were
anxious to protect their posterity from
the evil. which they themselves had
experienced. Hence, In providing a
circulating, medium, they conferred
upon f'ougres. the power to coin mou
e,. and regulate the oalae thereof, at
the 88111 C time prohibiting the States
from making anything but gold and
silver a tender in payment of debts.
The amens lout eondition of our cur
reney is in striking contrast with that
which was originally designed. Our
circulation now embraces, first, norem
of the National Banks, which ore
made receivable for all dues td the
Government, excluding Imposts, and
by all its creditors, excepting In pay
ment of Interest upon Its bonds and
the securities themselves; lieeond, le

States, - aud widen the law requires

eminent dues, excepting imp - fats; and
third, gold and silver coin: Br the op
eration of our present system of finance,
however, the metalfc currency, when
collected, is reser% ed only for one class
of Government creditors, who, hold
ing its bonds, semi-annually receive
their interest In coin from the Nation
al Treasury. There lane reason which
will be accepted as satisfactory by the
people, why those who defend us on
the land and protect ue oa theses; the
pensioner upon the gratitude of the na
tion, bearing the sears and wounds re
ceived while in its service ; the public
servants in the various Departmeotsof
the Goren , sent ; the farmer who eup
plies the soldiers of the army and the
sailors of the navy ; the artisan who
tolls in the itation'a workshops, or the
mechanics and laborers who build Its
edifices and construct its fort, e t o4 vus
sOis of war—should, In payment of
their just anti hard earned dues, receive
depreolated paper, While another class
of their countrymen, no more deserv
ing. are paid In coin of gold end silver,
Equal anti (-pet, justlee requires that
the creditors of the Government
should be paid In a currency possess
ing a uniform value. This can only
be accomplished by the restoration of
the currency to the StrililitiN
oalabihh
ed by the Constitution; and by this
magna we would remove a tilscrimltia
tiou which may, if it has not already
done so, create a prejudice that may
beeqthe deep rooted and wide spread,
and Imperil the national credit.
The feasibility of making our cur
rency correspond with the constitu•
thaws! etanclarit may be seen by refer
ence to a few facts darned from Our
commercial statistics.
The licgreciite product of precious
metals in the Fluted States from 1849
to liar) amoutited to .91,173,040,i50,
while, fur the same period, the net
exports of specie were 4441,900,000.
This shows an excess of product over
net exports of $t32.00U000. There ere
in the Treasury 5.108,71A,945 in coin;
in circulation In the Htates on the Pa
cific Conn about $10,000,900, and a few
millions In the National and other
lianks—in all less than $160,000.000.
Taking into consideration the specie
In the country prior to 1849, and that
pmduced sines 1867, and we have more
than 5800,000,000 not accounted for by
exportation or by the returns of the
Treasury, and therefore most probably
remaining in the country.
These ale important facts and chow
how completely, the luferiorreurreney
will sopercede the better, forcing It
from circulation among the. mamas,
and ceasing it to be ex portetl as a mere
article of trade, to add to the money
capital of foreign land.. They show
the necesaity of retiring OW' paper
money, that the return of gold and
sliver to the avenues el trade may be
invited, and a demand created which
will mum the retention at home of at
least so much of tire productions of our
rich and haexhanatible gold-bearing
tied& as may be suillcientsfor pureness
of circulation. It is unreasouabis to
expect a return to a sound currency so
long as the Government and banks, by
continuing to issue irredeemable note.,
All the channels of circulation with de

coinage by our mints, slam 1849, of
eight hundred and seventy-fear

strangers to the currency which 1.1114
designed for their nee and benefit, and
speatinees of the peening, installbear
ing the natbsitel devises are seldom
seen, except when produced to gratify
the interest excited by their novelty.
If depreciated paper is to be contin

country, and all our coin la to become
a mere article of traffic and speculation.
to the enhancement in price of all that
is Indispensable to the comfort of the
people, it would be wise economy to
abolish our mints, thus saving the na
