ONO. JACOIW & CliEribenP NV. 619. GtTTYSBURG, PA., DEC. 18, 1868 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 bers 'f.lTri the unrepre-tenteel States, adoptiel a ssaasu of measures winch ar rested Ilia progrf as of restoration, frus trated all that hit ',eel/ so diva, -sfully aceoinpladied, I id, after hi ..are of agitation and strife, has , t the coun try 'tallier from the attainment of union ai ii traterual feeling than at the Incepti •if the congressional plan of recopvtruetion I! needs no argument to show that kg.fol., lan widen sae pre !Wed alum banelei tames - t , 4 We 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 ous, and in many respects obnoxious on account of their tuquisitnrlal ehar• aster.

Fur the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, it is estimated that the receipts will amount to $.327,000,000, and the expen. ditures to $803,000,1.100, leaving an waled surplus of 924,0014 We, It becomes proper, ill this connec tion, to make s WWI reference to our public Indebtedness, which has accu mulated with ench alarming rapidity and nominee such colossal proportions. in /7811, when the Uoverument coat i/IL-Sued operations under the Federrl Constitution, it was burdened with an indebtedness of seventy-five millions 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 against 131 Tat Britain, The three years' struggle that followed largely increased the national obligations, and in 1818 they had attained the sum of one hundred and twenty-seven mil lions. \Vise and economical legisla tion, howeTrY Wilitireirthe Govern meat to 9 41 Y the entire amount within a period of twenty years, and the ex tinguishruent of the national debt till ed the hind with rejoicing, and was one of the great events of President Jackson's administration. After Its redemption a large fund remained in the Treasury, which was deposited for safe-keeping with the several States, on condition that it should be returned wlicti required by the public wants. lu 1849—the year after the termina tion of an expensive war with Mexico —we found ourselves involved In a debt of sixty-Four millions; and this wan the amount owed by the Govern meta iu 1660, Just prior to :he out break or the rebellion. In the spring of 1 8 64 our dill war_ commenced. Each year of its continuance made an enortninia addition to the debt; and when, is the 'wring of 18BS, this satins asooessfully emerged frots the conflict, die eirilgatioas K the Oefereatea4 ME 51st Year--No. 12 had reached the Immense sum of $2, 873,992,900. The Secretory of the Tremory shows that on the Ist clay of November, 1867, this amount had been reduced to St; 491,504,45f1 t hut at the name time hie report exhibits an Increase during the past year of $11,025,102; for the debt on the Ist day of Novemi or hod I+ sta ted to have been $2,527,129,5.52 It 14 estimated by the Secretary that the returns for the past month will add to our liabilities the further mum of elev en millions—maki rm a total Increase during thirteen months of forty-six and a half millions 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 lenders the toasters of the pt)ple We now pride our-eke, mien having given freedom to four millions of the colored race; it will then be nut shame that forty millions of people, by their own toleration of n•urpation and profligacy, have sulTered themselves to become enslaved, and mei eV ex changed slave-on ners for new ask masttr+ in the shape of bondholders and tax-gatherers. Besides, patlla nen t debts pertain to monaia lucid governments, and, tending to monop olies, perpetuities, and class legieta lion, RTC totally irreemicilalde with free institutions, Introduced Imo our republican system, they would gradu ally but surely sap its foundations, eventually subvert our governmental fabric, and erect upon its ruins a 111011- ed aristocracy. It Is out sacred du ty to transmit unimpahed to our pos terity the blessings of liberty which 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 tri the hands or the holders. We lima Lave en aggregate of cover/ - teen percent., which may be received upon each dollar by the owners of Government securities. A system 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 al credit should be sacredly observed; but in waking provision for our credi tors we should trot forget w hat is due to the 11111. s 4 of the people. It may 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 alent to the payment of the debt one and a halt times hi a fraction less, titan seventeen years. This, in connectiou with alt tits Irate? advirirtages derived (row their inventavent, would afford to the public creditors a fair aud liberal compensation for the use or their capi tal, and with this they should be satis fied. The lessons of the past admon ish the lender that It Is not , well to be over 4411XiOn1 in exacting, from the borrower rigid coniphance with the letter of the bond. InIIOVISiOII be made for the pay ment of the Indebtedness of the Guy ernmen t irreales-manner suggested, our nation will rapidly recover Hs wonted prosperity.

Our commerce, which at one time success fully rivalled that of the great mari time Powers, has rapidly diminished, and our industrial interests are in a depressed and languishing condition. The development of our inexhaustible resources is checked, and the fertile fields of iiii - TeCTMaing, waste for want of means to tilt them. \VW] the release of capital, new life would be ;nfused into the paralyzed energies of oar people, and activity and vigor imparted to every branch of industry.

If we cannot M6e the burdens Rom theirlioulders we should at least manifest a willingness help to bear them .referring to the condition of the circulating medium, r shall merely relterate, * stadantially, that pot lion of my last annual mesage whirl' relates to that subject The proportion which the eu, rvtioy of new country should hear to the whore value or the annual produce cir culated by its means lea question up on which I , rol ideal economists have not ntrreed. ',Nor em it be controth.d by I , gi.latrom but must be left to the Ir revocable laws which everywhere reg u lute commerce and Imre. The etc culating medium will ever Irreslsta lily flow to tho , e points where It Is In greatest demand, and bupply Is as unerring, as that which regulates the tides of the ocean ; and Indeed curren cy, Idle the hides, has its ebbs and flows throughout the commercial world. At the beginning of the rebellion the bank note circulation of the coon try amounted to not much more than two hundicd million. of dollar.. Now the circulation of National Bank notes and those known 119 "legal tend er." is nearly seven hundred mil lion.. While it is tirgtd by some that tilt. ,nuount should be in creased, other. contend shit a de• I hied reduction is tie,olutely es.entlal to the be , : interest. of the enuatry. In view of these diverse opinions, it may he well to ascertain the real value of our paper when compared with metilie or convertible currency. For thlc purpose, lot trt Inquire ho% nitwit gold and silver could be [Mr chased by the seven hundred millions of paper money now In chmulation ? Probably not more than half the amount of the latter—showing that when our parer currency is compared with gold ;not silver, Its commercial value t, compressed Into three hundred and fifty million.. This striking fact makes it the obvioiN ditty of the gov ernment, 114 eat ly as (nay he con.l.tent with the principles of sound political economy, to take such nu nstires a. will enable the holder of Its notes and those of the National Ranks to cow tut them, without los., into .peck or it. equivalent A reduction of our paper circulating medium need tint neces.,a rdy follow Thk, however, would de pend upon the law of eletnand and sup ply, though It should lie borne in mind that by making legal tenders and b ink notes convertible Into min or'its equiv alent, their preecnt specie value - in the hands of their holders wutild be en haneed one hundred percent. 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 gal-tender notes, issued by the C'nßed States, - aud widen the law requires shall be received as well in payment of all debts between citizens as of all Gov 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 preciated paper. Notwithstanding a coinage by our mints, slam 1849, of eight hundred and seventy-fear mil fioe% of dollars, the people are now 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 ued as nie permanent currency of the 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 tion the care and expense incident to such eatablialiments, anti let all our precious metals be exported in bullion. The time Las come, however.when the government and national baultashould no required to take the most efficient Iteps and make all necessary arrange mentc for a resumption of specie lay• mente.
