The estimates ior special objects under the con trol of this Department amount to $2,684,220 ,89, against $2,2 1Q,980 for the present year, the in crease being occasioned by the additional mail service on the Pacific coast and the construction the dock in California, authorized at the last ressioh of -Congress, and some slight additions under the head of improvements and., repairs in navy yards, buildings and machinery. I deem it of much importance to a just econo' my, and a correct understanding of naval expen ditures, that there should bean entire separation of the appropriations for the support of the naval service proper from those for permanent improve ments at navy yards and stations, and from ocean steam mail service, and other special objects as signed to the supervision of this Department. The report of the Postmaster General, herewith communicated, presents an interesting view of the progress, operations, and condition of bis Depart ment. At the close of the last fiscal year, the length of mail routes within the United States was 196,- 290 miles; the annual transportation thereon 272,552 miles; and the annual cost of such trans*, portation $3,421,754. . The length of the foreign mail route is 'esti mated at 18,349 miles; and the annual transport tation thereop at 615,206 miles. The annual cost of this service is $1,472,187, of which $448,937 is paid’by the Post Office Department, and $l,- 023,250 is paid through the Navy Department. The annual transportation tcithin the United States (excluding the service in California and Oregon, which is now, for the first time, reported and embraced in the tabular statements of the Department) exceeds that of the preceding year 6,162,855 miles, at an increased cost of $547,110. The \9hole number of post offices in the United States, on the 30th day of June last, was 19,796. There were 1,698 post offices established, and 256 discontinued, during the year. The gross revenues of the Department for the fiscal year, including the appropriations for the franked matter of Congress,, of the Departments, and.officers of Government, and excluding the foreign postages' collected for and payable to, the; British post office, amounted to $6,727,866 78. ’ ; The expenditure for the same period (excluding $20,599 49, paid under an award of the Auditor, in pursuance of a resolution of the last Congress, for mail service on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in 1832 and 1833, and the amount paid to the British post office for foreign postages collected for and payable to that office) amounted to $6,- 024,566 79; leaving a balance of revenue over the proper expenditures of the year of $703,299 99. The receipts, for postages during the year(ex eluding the foreign postages collected for and payable to the British post office) amounted to $6,345,747 21, being an increase of $997,610- 79, or 18, 65-100 per cent, over the like re ceipts for the preceding year. The reduction of postage, under the act of March last, did not take effect until the com mencement of the present fiscal year. The ac counts for the first quarter, under the operation of the reduced rotes, will nor be settled before January next ; and no reliable estimate of the receipts for the present year can yet be mode. It*is believed, however, that they will fall far short of those of the last year.’. The surplus of the revenues nowon hand is, however, so large that no further appropriation from the treasury, in aid of the revenues of the Department, is re quired for the current fiscal year; but an addi tional appropriation for the year ending June 30,' 1853, will probably he found necessary when the re eipts of the first two quarters of the fiscal year are fully ascertained In his last ahuunlreport the Postmaster Gen eral recommended a reduction of postage to rates which he deemed as low as could be pru dently adopted, unless Congress was prepared to appropriate from the treasury, for the sup port of the Department, a sum more than equi valent to the mail services performed by it for the Government. Therecommendntionsofthe Postmaster General, in respect to letter post oge/exeept on letters from qtvi to California and Oregon, were substantially adopted by the last Congress. He nojv reeommends adher ence to the present letter rates, and advises a gainst a further reduction until justified by the revenue of the Department. He also recommends that the rates of postage on printed matter be so revised as to render •them more simple 1 , and, more uniform in their operation upon all classes of printed matter. I submit the recommendations of report to your favorable consideration. The public statutes of the United States have now .been accumulating for more than sixty years, and, interspersed with private acts, are scattered through numerous volumes, and, from the cost of the whole, havo become almost in accessible to the great mass of the community. They also exhibit much of the incongruity and imperfection of hasty legislation. As it seems to be generally conceded that there is no ‘'com mon law” of the United States to supply the defects of their legislation, it is most important that that legislation should bo as perfect as pos sible defining every power intended to be con ferred, every crime intended to be made pun ishable, and prescribing the punishment to be inflicted. In addition to some particular cases 2 * spoken of more at length, the whole criminal code Ib now lamentably defective. Some of fences are imperfectly described, andothersare entirely omitted; so that flagrant crimes may be committed with impunity. The scale of 1 cases graduated accor l nature of the offence i tore unequal by the dif, unment, or penitentiary ferent States. •manent character have ppropriation bills, and it ermine whether the par with the temporary act punishment is not in q ding to the degree and and is often rendered i ferent modes of impris confinement, in the diff Many laws of a per been introduced into at is often difficult to dete ticular clause expires j continues in force, of which it is a part, oi has also frequently happened that enactments and provisions oflaw Have been introduced in to bills, with the title or general'subject of which they have little|or no connection or re lation. In this modeoflegislationso many en actments have been heaped upon each other, and often with but littlje consideration, that, in many instances, it is difficult to search out and determine what is the lhw. The Government of the United f States is emphatically * government of written laws. — The statues should, therefore, as far as practi cable, not only be made accessible to all,, but be expressed in language so plain and simple as to be understood by all, and arranged in such method as to give perspicuity to every subject. Many of the States have revised their public acts with great and manifest benefit; and 1 re commend that provisions be made by law for the appointment of a edmmission to revise tho public statutes of the Ijnited States, arranging them in order, supplying deficiencies, correct ing incongruities, simpjlyfying their language, and reporting them to Congress for its action. An act of Congress approved 30th Septem-' her 1850. contained a p ovission for the exten sion of the Capitol, according to such plan as might.be approved by the President, and ap propriated one hundrec thousand dollars to be expended under his direction, by such architect as he should appoint to execute the same. On examining the various plans which had been submitted by different rrchitects, in pursuance of an advertisement by a committee of the Sen ate, no one was found o be entirely satisfac tory, and it was therefore deemed advisable to combine and.adopt the Advantages of several. The great object to >e accomplished was to make such an addition as would afford ample and convenient halls or the deliberations of the two Houses of C accommodation for spt partments for the comn two branches of the I Dngress, with sufficient ctators, and suitable a litteefc and officers of the egiblature. It was also desirable not to mar the harmony and beauty of the present structure, which, as a specimen of architecture, is so universally admired. — Keeping these objects in view, I concluded to make the addition by wings, detached from the present building, yet connected with-it by corridors. This mqde of enlargement will leave the present Capi ol uninjured, and afford great advantages for ventilation and'the ad mission of light, and will enable the work to progress without interrupting the deliberations of Congress. To carrMhis plan into effect I have appointed an experience and competent architect. The corne-stone was laid on the 4th day of Juiy last, with suitable ceremonies, since which time the w ork has advanced with cbmmendable rapidity, and the foundation of both wings are now nejarly complete. ; ,'v- I again commend to your favorable regard the interests of the District of Columbia,-and deem it only necessary to remind you, that although its inhabitants have no voice in the choice of representatives in Cojigress, they are not the less entitled to a just and liberal consideration .in your legislation. My opinions on this sub ject were more fully expressed in my lost an nual communication. Other subjects were of Congress in my 1 (brought to the Attention ast annual menage, to ‘which I would there was one of more than ordinary interest to which I again irivire yourspecial"attention. X allude to the recommendation'for the appointment of acommsision to settle private claims against the United States. Jusjice to individuat es well as to the Goyernm'ent imperatively de mands that some more, convenient and expedi tious mode than an appeal to Congress should be adopted. " i It is deeply to be regretted that .n several instances officers of the Government, tin at tempting to execute the jlaw for the return of fugitives from labor, have been openly resist ed, and their efforts frustrated and defeated by lawless and violent mobs; that in one case such resistance resulted in the death of an es timable citizen, and in {others serious' injury ensued to those officers and to individuals who were using their endeavors to susieinthe laws. Prosecutions have been instituted against the alleged offenders, so far as they could be iden tified, and are still pendipg. X have regarded it as my duty, in these ca!ses, to give all aidle ein my power to the enforcement of the . and I shall continue to so wherever and whenever their execution may be resisted, The act of Cbngress for the fugi tives from labor is one required and demanded by the express words of the Constitution. The Constitution declared, “Thot no person ‘held to service or laborj in one State, under ‘the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, ‘jn consequence of any law or regulation there ‘in, be discharged from such service or labor, ‘but shall be delivered up on claim of the par ‘ty to whom suchserviceSor labor may be due.” Thfs constitutional provision is equally obliga tory upon the Legislature, the Executive, and Judicial Departments of jthe Government, and upon every c tizen of the United States. Congress, however, must, from necessity, first act upon the subject, by .prescribing the proceedings necessary to ascertain that the person is a fugitive, and jthc means to be used for hia restoration to the;-claimant. This was done by an act passed during the. first terra bf President Washington, \which was amended by that enacted by the )ast'Con'gressfand it now remains for the Executive and Judicial Departments to take care that these laws be faithfully. executed. This injunction of the Constitution is as peremptory and aS' binding as any N oiher; it stands] exactly on the same foundation os that clause which provides for the return of fugitives from justice, or that no bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed, or that which provides for an equality of taxation, according to the census, or the clause’declaring that all duties shall be uniform throughout tha United States, or the import ant provision that the trial of all crimes shall bebyjnry. These several articles and claus es of ibe Constitution, all resting on-the same authority, must stand orlfall together. Some objections have been against the details of for the return of fugitives from labor; but it is worthy of remark that the main oppo sition is aimed against the Constitution itself, and proceeds from persons and classes of per sons, many of whotu declare their wish to see that Conetitution overturned. They avow their hostility to any law; which shall give full and practical effect to this requirement of the Constitution. Fortunately, the number of these persons is comparatively small, and is believed to be daily diminishing, but the issue which they present is on‘e which involves the supremacy and even thejexistence of the Con stitution. | Cases have heretofore] arisen in which indi viduals hove, denied thej binding authority of acts of Congress, and even States have propo sed to nullify such acts,|upon the gronnd that the Constitution was the supreme law of>th e land, and that those acts] of Congress were re pugnant to that instrument ; but nullification is now aimed, not so much {against particular laws as being inconsistent with the Constitution, as against the Constitution {itself; and it is not to be disguised that a syirit exists and bos been actively at work to rend asunder this Union, whic.h is our cherished! inheritance from our revolutionary fathers. | In-my last annual message I stated that I considered the series of jmeasures, which had been adopted at the preyious session, in refer ence to the agi/ation growing out of the Terri torial and slavery questions, os a final settle ment in principle and substance of the danger ous and exciting subjects which they embrac ed ; and I recommended adherenoe to the Ad justment established by those measures until time and experience should demonstrate the necessity ol further legislation toguard against or abuse. I was not induced to make this re commendation because I thought thore meas ures perlect, for no human legislation can be perfect. Wide differences and jairingopinions can only be reconciled by yielding something on all sides, and this result had been searched after an angry conflict] of many months, in whic one pat t of the country was arrayed against another, and violent convulsions seemed to be imminent. Looking at the interests of the whole country,] I felt it;tb be my duty to seize upon this Compromis as the best that could be obtained amid conflictinglinterests, and to insist upou it as a final settlement, to(be adhered toby all who value the peace and welfare of the coun try. A year hasnow elapsed since that recom mendation was made. To that recommenda tion I still adhere, aid I congratulate you .and the country : upon the generai acquies cence inches “measures of peace, wqich has been exhibited in all the Republic. And not only is there this generel acquiescenoe in these measures, ; but the spirit of conciliation which has been manifested in regard to tham in all parts of the country, has removed doubts and uncertainties in the| mind of thousands of good man concerning the durability of our poe ular institutions, and gitarf renewed assuranco that onr Liberty and our. Union may subsist te gether for the benefit of this and all succeeding generations. MILLIARD FILLMORE. Wshaington, Dec. 2, 1851.
