    extent, will, necessarily, exist at different
ports—but that is altogether insignificant,
when compared with the conflicts in valua
tion, which are likely {o arise, From the diff
erences of opinion among the numerous ap
praisers of merchandize. In niany instan
ces the estimates of value must be conjectu
ral, and- thus as many different rates of val
ue may he estahliahedas. there are appraisers.
These difference? in valuation may also be
increased by the.ihcliriatioii, which, without
the slightest imputation on their honesty,
may arise on the part of the appraisers in
fiivor of’ their respective, ports of entry. . 1
recommend this whole subject to the consid
eration of Congress,-with a single additional
remark. Certainty arid permanency in any
system of governmental policy are,, in all
respects, eminently desirable; but more par
ticularly is this true in all tliut affects trade
and commerce, the operations of which de
pend much more on the certainty of their
returns, and calculations which embrace
distant periods of time, than on high bounties;
or duties, whichjuu liable to constant fluc
tuations.
At-your lato session,.! invited your atten
tion to the condition of lire currency and ex
changes, and .urged tlie necessity of adopting
such measures as were consistent with the
constitutional competency of the Govern
ment, in order to 'correct the unsoundness
of the one, and as far as practicable the ine
qualities of the other. • No country can be
in the enjoyment of its full measure of pros
perity, without the presence of a medium of
exchange, approximating to uniformityi of
value. What is necessary as between the
different nations of the earth, is also impor
tant aS between the inhabi'tants of different
parts of the same countryj with tlie first tlie
precious metals constitute the chief medium
of circulation, and Built also would be the
case-as to the last, but for the inventions,
comparatively modern) which have furnish
ed,in place of gold and silver, a paper cir
culation/ Ido not propose to .enter into a
comparative analysis of ’the merits of the
two systems. Such belonged more property
to'the pcriod of the'uvlroducHon of the paper
system. • The speculative philosopher might
find inducements : tp;prosecute’ theenquiry,
only lend him tq
'■c^ft^'^'thit.tKer.papeTsysiera.had proto;
-fily better' never_ have been introduced, and
that society. mighHti've'^^n*'(dbe& 1 happier
without it,. The practical statesman bas'd
very different task'to perform. • He has to
,'look at things as they are—to take them as
he finds them—to supply deficiencies, and
to pintle excesses as far.as in him lies., _The
.task of/urnisbing a corrective fur derange
■ ynents of the paper medium with us, is al
most inexpressibly great. The power exert
ed byjtjie States to charter banking corpora
tions, and which, having been carried to a
, great excess, has filled the country with, in
most of the Statesman irredeemable paper
' medium, is an evil which, in s’oitih way. or
other, requires a corrective. The rates at
which bills of exchange are negotiated be
tween different parts ot the country, furnish
an index of the value of the local substitute
for gold and silver, which is, in many parts,
so far depreciated, as not to be received, ex
ceptat a largo discount,in paymentof debts,
or in the purchase of produce: It could ear
nestly be desired that every bank, not pos
sessing the means of resumption, should, fol
low the example of the late United States
Bank of Pennsylvania, and go into liquida
tion, rather than by Refusing to do so to
continue" embarrassments in the the way, of
solvent institutions, thpreby augmenting the
difficulties incident to the present condition
of things. " Whether this Government, with
due regard .to the rights of the States, has
any power to constrain the banks, either to
resume specie payments, or to force them,
into liquidation, is an inquiry- which will
not fail to claim, your consideration. In
view of the great advantages which are al
lowed" the corporators, not" among tU el cast
of which is tlie authority contained in most
of their charters to.make loans to three times
the amount of their capital, thereby often
deriyiag three times as much interest on the
came.amount of-money ns any individual is
permitted by law to receive, no sufficient
apology can be, urged for along continued
suspension of specie payments. Such sus
pension is productive of the greatest detri
ment to the public, by expelling from circu
lation the precious metals, and‘seriously
hazarding the success of any effort that this
Government can make, to" increase commer
cial facilities,.and ,tb advance the public: in
terests.
This is the'more to be’regretted, amt tbe
indispensable necessity for a sound-currency
becomes - th'iTDiore manifest when \ye reflect
on the vast amount of tbe internal commerce
of-the-country. Of this w.e have-no-statis-
nor just data'for. forming adequate
opinions. -. But there can be no doubt, but
that the amount of transportation coastwise,
by sea, and the transportation inland ■by
railroads and canals,, and by steamboats and
other modes of conveyance, over tbe surface
of our vast rivers and immense lakes, and
the value of property carried and' inter
changed by. these means, form a general ag
gregate, to. which the. foreign commerce-of
the country, largo as it is, makes but a dis
tant approach.
In the absence of any controlling power
over this subject, which by forcing a general
resumption of'specie payments would at
once have the effect of rosferipg a sound
medium of exchange, anil wouldteave to the
country but little to what measure of
relief, falling within the limit of our consti
tutional competency, does it become this
Government to adopt? It was my painful
duty at your last-session, under the tveiglit
of most solemn, .obligations', ■ to differ' with
Congress on the measures which it proposed
for my approval, and which it doubtless re
garded as corrective coexisting evils. Sub
sequent reflectionjitml events since', occur
ring. have only served to confirm me in
the opinions then entertained, and frankly
expressed. <
I must be permitted to add, that no
governmental policy, unaided by.
individual exertions, ‘ can be available'for
ameliorating’ the present condition of tilings.,
Commercial modes of .exchange and a 'good
currency, are blit the necessary means of
commerce and intercourse, - not tile direct
productive sources of wealth. Wealth' ean

in. borrowing, ■ or.to a redundant
circulation, for the powcrofdißchargiog pe
cuniary obligations.. The country is full of
resources and the people full ol energy* and
the great and permanent remedy for present
embarrassments musf.be sought in industry,
.economy, the observance of good faith, and
the favorable-influence of time.
In pursuance of n pledge given; to you in
my last message to Congress, which pledge
I urge - as an apology for . adventuring to
present you the details of.any plan, the Sec
retary Of tbe-Troasury will be ready to sub
mit to you, should you require it,, a plan of
finance'which, while it throw's around the
public treasure reasonable guards for Its
protection, and-rests on-powers acknowl
edged in practice to exist from the origin of
the Government, will, at the same fime,_fur
nisli to the country a sound paper medium;
and afford reasonable facilities for regulating
the Exchanges. When submitted, you will
perceive in it a plan amendatory of the ex
isting laws in relation to the Treasury De
partment: —subordinate in all respects to the
will of Congress directly and the will of the
people indirectly—-self-sustaining, should it
be found in practice to realize its promises
in theory, and rcpealable at the pleasure of
Congress. It proposes by effectual restraints,
and by invoking the true spirit of our insti
tutions, ip separate the purse from theswprd;
or, more properly, to speak, denies any other
control to the President over the agents who
may be selected to carry it into execution,
but what may he indispensably necessary to
securcf-the fidelity of such agents; .and, by
wise regulations, keeps plainly apart from
each other, private and public funds. It
contemplates the establishment of a Board
of Control, at the-Seat of Government, with
agencies at proniinent comniercial points, or
wherever else Congress shall direct, for the
safe keeping and disbursement of the public
moneys, and ,-i substitution at the option of
the public creditor, of Treasury notes, in
lieu of gold and silver. It proposes to limit
the issues to an«amount not to exceed 315,-
000,000 —without the express sanction of
the LegTslative power- It also authorizes
the receipt of individual, deposites'df gold
aiid silver to-a limited /amount,' and the
•granting ccrtvf'.cales of deposite, divided in
to such sums.asinay be called fee by the de
positors. J.tJproceeils .a. step.furtfier, and'
authorizes the purchase and sale of Domes
tiboßills.'and drafts, resting on a 1 real and'
substantial, basis; payatyieat sight, or having
but a short lime to fun, and drawn.'on places
not lesk than one hundred miles apart—
which au(hority,’cxcept so - far as may be ne
cessary for Government purpose’s exclusive
ly, is only exerted upon the express
condition, that its exercise shall nut be pro
hibited by the State in which the agency is
situated. ’ •
In order.to cover the expenses incident to
the plan it will be authorized to receive mo
derate premiums for certificates issued on
deposites, and on bills bought anti Sold, and
thus as far es its dealings extend, to furnish
facilities tel commercial intercourse at the
lowest possible rate and to subduct from the
earnings of industry, die least possible sum.
It uses the State Banks, at a distance from
the agencies, as auxiliaries, without impart-
ing any power to trade in its name. It is
subjected tp such guards and restraints as
have appeared to be necessary. It is the
creature of law, and exists only at the plea-,
sure of the legislature. It is made to rest
on an actual specie basis, in order to redeem
the notes at the places of issue—produces no
dangerous redundancy'of circulation—af
fords no temptation to speculation—is at
tended by no inflation of prices—is equable
in its operation—makes the Treasury Notes,
which it may use along with the certificates
of deposit, and the notes of specie paying
banks—convertible at thc.place where col
lected, receivable in payment of Government
tlues-—and, without violating any principle
of the-Constitution, affords the Government
and die people such facilities as are called
for by the wants of both, Such.-it has ap
peared to me, are its recommendations, and
in view of them it will be submitted, when
ever you may,require it, to your coiisidera
tion. ■,
I am npt able to perceive that an; fair and
candid objection can be urged against the
-plan, the principal outlines of which 1 have
thus presented. 1 cannot doubt bill that the
notes which it proposes'to furnish at the vol
untary option of the public creditor,! issued
in lieu ofthe revenue and its certificates of
deposit, will be maintained at anequality
with gold and silver, every where. They
are redeemable in gold and silvcron demand,
at the places of issue, They are receivable
every where in payment of-Government
dues. The Treasury Notes are limited to
-an-nmouht-of-one-fourth-less than the; esti--
mated annual rcce’pts of the Treasury, and,
in addition, they rest upon the faith of. the
Government for’ their redemption. If all
these assurances are not sufficient to-make
' them available, then the idea, as it seems to
me, of furnishing a sound paper medium of
exchange, may be "entirely abandoned.—- r .
If a fear be indulged that the Government
may be tempted to run into excess in its is
sues*, at any future day, it seems to me that
no such apprehension can reasonably be en
tertained, untlLall confidence in therepre
sentatives of Hie States and of the people, as
well as of the people themselves, shall be
lost. The weightiest cohsiderations of pol
icy require that the' restraints now proposed
to be thrown around the measure should hot,
for light causes, be removed.. To argue a
gai'nst any proposed plan its liability to pos
sible abuse, is to reject every expedient,
sinceevcry thing” dependent on human ao
liun is liable to abuse. Fifteen millions of
Treasury notes may be issued us the nurjei
mum~, but a discretionary power is to be
given to the Board of Control, dnder that
sum, and every consideration will unite in
leading them to I ,feel their way with,caution.
For the eight'first years of the existence of
the lase Bank of the United States, its cir
culation barely exceeded $4,000,000) and|
for five of its tnost ,prosperous years, it was
about equal/to $16,000,000; furthermore,
the authority giveti to. receive,private depo
sits.tea limited amount, and to issue certifi
cate's in such .sums as may be called for by
the depositors, may so far All ’ up the. clmii
.nels of circulation asy;reatly to dimmish.the
necessity of'any considerable issue of Trea
sury nutesi.- A restraint upon the amount of
private deposits'has eeeineii to be indispen
sably necessary, front an aprehension thought
to be well ,founded that'in'm'ny emergency of,
trridei confiidence_might be Bu far ; Bhalten-in
the banks Us To induce frbn|:
themjif deposits,’
sure their unqUe»tionablesafety,whßndepb-,
«Ued with the Government, which might
prove eminently ' disastrous -to' the State
Banks. Is it objected that it is proposed to
authorize the agencies to deal in Bills of Ex
change? It is artswere'd, that such dealings
are to be carried on at the lowest possible
premium—are made to rest on an unques
tionably sound basis—rare designed to reim
burse merely the expanses which would oth
erwise devolve upon the'Treasury, and are
in strict subordination to'the decision of the
Supreme Count, in the case of the Bank of
Augusta against Earle, and other reported
cases; and thereby-avoids all conflict with'
State-jurisdiction which I hold'to be indis
pensably requisite. It leaves the hanking
privileges of,the States without interference
—looks to the Treasury and the Union,'—
and, while furnishing every facility jd tlie
first, is careful of the interests of the last.
But above all it is created by law, and is re-
peatable, by law; and .wedded as I am to no <
theory but looking solely to the advancer
inent of the public good. I shall be amongst
the very first to urge its repeal, if it be found
not to subserve the purposes and objects for
which,it may be created. Nor will the.plan
be submitted in any overweening confidence
in the sufliciency of my own judgement; but
wifh much greater reliance on the wisdom
and patriotism of Congress. 1 cannot aban
don this subject without urging upon you,
in the most emphatic manner, whatever may
be your action on Thesuggcstions which I
have felt it to be my duly to submit, to re
lieve the Chief Executive Magistrate by .any
and all constitutional means, from a control
ling power over the public Treasury.. If in
theplan proposed,should you demn.it worthy,
of-your eonsiderationythlit-separation is not
as complete as you may desire, you will,
doubtless, amend it in that particular. For
myself, I disclaimall desire to have any.con
trol over the public moneys, other than what
is indispensably necessary to execute the
laws which you niay pass.
Nor can.l fail to advert, in this connec
tion, to the debts-which maby of the States,
of-the Union have,contracted abroad, and
under which they continue to. labor. That
indebtedness amounts to a sum nqt-1 ess than
$200,060,000, and whichiliiS-“freVs'7fetnb.!tV
‘led to them, for the .most part in workp ;of
“internal iroprov|ment, which are destined tp.
pt-ove Of vast importance in. ult'n'qately ad- ; '
-vancing their prosperity arid wealth. , Fer
tile debts thus contracted, the States are a
lone responsible. . I can do‘no fnore than,
express the belief that each State will feel
itself bound by every consideration of honor,
as well as of interest, tp meet its engagements,
with punctuality. The failure, however, of
l\ny one .State Ip do so, should, in no degree
affect the'credit of the rest;, anil the foreign
capitalist will have no just cause to experi
ence alarm as to all the other Slate stocks,,
because any one or more of the States may
neglect to provide with punctuality the
means-of redeeming their engagements. —
Eyen such States, should there be any, con
sidering the great rapidity with which their
resources are developing themselves,' will
not fail -to have the means, at no very dis
tant day, to redeem their obligations to the
uttermost farthing; nor will I doubt but that
in view of that honorable conduct which has
evermore governed the Stales, and People
of this Union, they will each and all resort
to every legitimate expedient, before they
will forego a faithful compliance with their
obligations. '
From the report of the Secretary of War,
and other reports accompanying it, you will
be" informed of the progress which has been
made in the fortifications designed fur the
protection of our principal cities, roadsteads,
and inland frontier, during the present year;'
together withHheir true state and condition.
They will'be prosecuted to completion with
all thO expedition which the means placed
by Congress at the disposal of the Execu
tive will allow.
I recommend particularly to your consid
eration that portion of the Secretary’s re
port which proposes the establishment of a
chain of military posts, from Council .Bluffs
to some point on the Pacific Ocean, within
our limits. The benefit thereby destined
to accrue to our citizens engaged in the
fur trade, over that wilderness region, add
ed to the importance of cultivating friendly
relations with_ savage tribes inhabiting. it,
aird at the same time of giving protection, to
our frontier settlements, and of establish
ing the. means of safe intercourse between
the American settlements at the mouth of
tlie Gofolinariver, and - those on this side 01
the Rocky Mountains, would seem to sug
gest the importance of carrying, into effect
the recommendations upon this head with
asiittlcdclayna may be practicab!e.
The report of the Secretary of the Navy
will place you in possession of the. present
condition of. that important arm of the na-.
tional. defence. Every effort will he made
to add to its efficacy, and T 'cannot too
strongly urge upon you, liberal appropria-
that branch ofthe public service.—
Inducements of the weightiest character ex
ist for the adoption of this course of policy.
Our extended.and otherwise marititne fron
tier, calls for protection, to the furnishing
of which an efficient naval force is indispen
sable. We look to no.foreign conquests,
nor do we-proposelo enter.into competition
with any other nation for supremacy oii the
Ocdan,-—but it is due not only to the hp r
nor, but to the security.of the People of the
United States; that no nation should be per
mitted to invade our waters Ut pleasure, and
subject our towns and villages to conflagra
tion or pillage.
.Economy in all, branches of the public
service, is due from all the public agents to
the ‘ people—but parsimony alone would
suggest the' Withholding of the necessary
means: for the protection of our dojnestic
firesides from.’invasion, and our national
honuiTrom. disgrace. I would most
ly recommehd to Oongrcss. to abstain front
a 11 a p p ro p ri a tion s r ; for obj ec t s not absolute
ly necessary} butJ take upon myself, with
out aWinent of hesitancy, all the,respuiisir
bility of recommending ‘ the increase - anil
prompt ‘equipment .of .that gallant Navy}
which has lighted up every sea with its vic
tories, and .spread atf rimperishablc felpry,
oveethe Country. :
‘ The report of the Postmaster general
will claim your parUcular nttejitibn, not
only because of the valuable suggestions
which it contains,-but because of ;the great
importance 1 which; at : all- " times, attaches;-to
that interesting branch of the public aetyice.
Tlie'iffcmiscdexpense of transporting the
mail alohg' the prihclpal ruu ts, necessarily
erted a corresponding solicitude on the part
of the Government. The transmission of
the mail must keep pace wilh those fami
lies of inter-co’mmunication which are every
day becoming greater through the building
of railroads, and the application of steam
power—but it cannot, be disguised that, in
order to do so, ,the Post 'Office Department
is subjected to heavy The line
ofconnminication between distant Sparta of
the Union, are, to a great extent, occupied
by railroads, which, in the nature of things,
posses a complete monupolyj and the Depart
ment is therefoere liable to heavy and un
reasoimble charges. This evil is destined
to”great increase in future, and some timely
measure may become necessary to guard a
gaihst it.
1 feel it my duty to bring under your
consideration a practice which has grown
up in the administration of the Government,
and which, I am deeply convinccdought to
be corrected.' I allude to the exercise of
the power, which usage, rather than reason,
has vested in the Presidents of removing
incumbents from office, in order to substi
tute others more in favor with the dominant
party. .My own conduct in this respect has
been- governed by a conscientious purpose
to exercise the removing power, only in
cases of unfaithfulness or inability," or in
those in which its exercise appeared neces
sary, in order to discountenance and sup
press that spirit Practice .partisanship on
the holders of office, which not only with
draws them from the steady and impartial
discharge of their official duties, but exerts
an undue and injurious'influence over elcc
;tinns,_and degrades thecharactcr of the Go
vernment itself, inasmuch as it exhibits the
Chief Magistrate, as being a party, through
his agents, in the secret plots or open work
ings of political parties.
In respect to the exercise of this power,
nothing should, be left to discretion, \vhich
may be regulated by law; and it is of high
importance to restrain, as far as possible,
the stimulus of personal interests in public
elections. Considering the'great increase 1
\yhicli hasbeen Made in public officesi-in the
last quarfee pf a century/and the probabili
ty df.-fartherjncrease.'wh incur the bayard,
of .witnessing' violent contests'dirccted too
often to the single object of rctaining'officc,
by tho§e who arc ih,lprobtnihvfigit>.by thdsh*
who are-out.’ Under*th6-influence of these
convictions, Lsh'all .cordially concur in any
constitutional measures for regulating, and
by regulating, restraining, the power of re
moval. .
I suggest for yoyr consideration,.the pro
priety of making,, without further delay,
some pacific application of the funds derived
under the will of MrrSmilhson, of England,
for the diffusion of knowledge; and which
have, heretofore, been vested in public
stocksj-until tjucli time as;Congress should
think proper to give them a specific direc
tion. Nor will you, I feel confident, permit
any abatement of the .principal of the lega
cy to be madev should it turn out that the
stocks, in which the investments have been
made, have undergone a depreciation.-
In conclusion, I. commend to your care
the interests ol this District, for which you
are the ..exclusive legislators. Considering
that this city is the residences! the Go
vernment, and, for a large part of the year,
of Congress and considering, also, the great
cost of the Public Buildings, and the pro
priety of affording them at all limes careful
protection; it seems nut unreasonable.that
Congress should contribute towards the ex
pense ef an efficient police. .
