of. the :United , Statea right of transit over it

also, the effects of the United States govern-
Merit and ite citizens which may be intended
for transit, and not . for distribution on the
Isthmus, free of custom-house or other charges
by the Mexican government."
These treaty stipulations with '.New Granada
and Mexico, in•addition to'the considerations
applideble .to the Nicaragua route seem to
require legislation for the purpose Of carrying
them' into effect.
The injuries which have been indicted upon
our citizens, in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, during
the last two' or three years, have received the
prompt attention of this government. Some
of these injuries were of the-most aggravated
&Mader; The transaction at Virgin Bay in
44; Add', when a company of unarmed Amer
icans, who were in no way connected with any
belligerent conduct or party, were fired upon
by the troops of Costa Rica, and numbers of
them killed and wounded, was brought to the
knowledge of Congress by my predecessor
soon after its occurrence, and was also presen
ted to the government of Costa Rica, for that
immediate investigation and redress 'which the
nature of the case demanded. ,
A similar coarse was pursued with reference
to other outrages in these countries, some of
which, were hardly less aggravated in their
character than the transaction at Virgin Bay.
At the time, however, when our present Min
ister to Nicaraugna was appointed, in Decem
ber, 1857, no redress had been obtained for
any of these wrongs, and no reply even had
been received to the demands which Lad
been made by this government upon that of
Costa Rica, more than a year before. Our
Minister was instructed, therefore, to lose no
time in expressing to those governments the
deep regret with which the President had wit
nessed this inattention to the just claims of the
United States, and in demanding their prompt
and satisfactory adjustment. Unless this de
mand shall be complied with at an early day,
it will only remain fur this government to adopt
such other measures as may be necessary,
in order to obtain for itself that justice which
it has in vain attempted to secure by peaceful
means from the governments of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica. While it has shown, and will con
tinue to show, the most sincere regard for the
rights and honor of those republics, it cannot
permit this regard to be met by au utter neglect
on their part, of what is due to the government
and citizens of the United States.
Against New Grenada we have long standing
causes of complaint, arising out of the unsat
isfied claims of our citizens upon that repub
lic ; and to these have been more recently ad
ded the outrages committed upon our citizens
at Panama, in April, 1856. A treaty for the
adjustment of these difficulties was concluded
by the Secretary of State and the Minister of
New Grenada, in September, 1857, which con
tained just* and acceptable provisions for that
purpose. This treaty was transmitted to So
gota, and was ratified by the government of
New Grenada, but with certain amendments.
It was not, however, returned to this city until
after the close of the last session of the Sepate.
It will be immediately transmitted to that
body for their advice and consent ; and should
this be obtained, it will remove all' ur exist
ing causes of complaint against New Granada
on the subject of claims.
Questions have arisen between the two gov
ernments, as to the right of New Granada to levy
a tonnage duty upon the vessels of the United
States in its ports of the Isthmus, and to levy
a passenger tax upon our citizens arriving in
that country, whether with a design to remain
there or to pass from ocean to ocean by the
ransit route ; and also a tax upon' the mail
of the United States transported over the Pan
ama railroad. The government of New Grana
da has been informed, that the United States
would consider the collection of either of these
taxas, as an act in violation of the treaty be
tween the two countries, and as such would
be resisted by the United States. At the same
time, we are prepared to discuss these ques
tions in a spirit of amity and justice, and with
a sincere desire to adjust them in a satisfacto
ry manner. A negotiation for that purpose
has already been commenced. No effort has
recently been made to collect these taxes nor
is any anticipated under present circumstan
ces.
With the empire of Brazil our relations are
of the most friendly character. The produc
tions of the two countries, and especially those
of an agricultural nature, are such as to invtte
extensive mutual exchanges. A large quan
tity of American flour is consumed in Brazil;
whilst more than treble the amount in value
of Brazilian coffee is consumed in the United
States. Whilst this is the case, a heavy duty
has been levied, until very recently, upon the
importation of American flour into Brazil. I
am gratified, however, to be able to inform you
that in September last this has been reduced
from $1.32 to about 49 cents per barrel, and
the duties on other articles of our production
have been diminished in nearly the same pro
portion.
I regret to state that the government of Bra
zil still continues to levy an export duty of
about 11 per cent. on coffee, notwithstanding
this article is admitted tree from duty in the
United States. This is a heavy charge upon
the consumers of coffee in our country, as we
purchase half of the entire surplus crop of that
article raised in Brazil. Our minister, under
instructions, will reiterate his efforts to have
this export duty removed ; and it is hoped that
the enlightened government of the emperor will
adopt this wise, just and equal policy. In
that event, there is good reasouto believe that
the commerce between the two centuries will
greatly increase, much to the advantage of
'both.
The claims of our citizens against the gov
ernment of Brazil are not, in the aggregate, of
very large amount ; bat some of these rest
upon plain principles of justice, and their set
tlement ought not to be longer delayed. A
renewed and earnest, and I trust a successful
effort, will be made by our minister to procure
their final adjustment.
On the 2d of June last, Congress passed a
joint resolution authorizing the President " to
adopt such measures and use such force as, iu
his judgment,may be necessary and advisable,"
" for the purpose of adjusting the differences
between the United States and the republic of
Paraguay, in connection with the attack on the
United States' stearrfer Water Witch, and with
other measures referred to " M his annual mes
sage. And on the 12th July following, they
made an appropriation to defray the expenses
and compensation of a commissioner to that
republic, should the President deem it proper
to make such au appointment.
In compliance with these enactments, I have
appointed a comissioner, who has proceeded to
Paraguay, with full powers and instructions
to settle these difference in au amicable, and
peaceful manner, if this be practicable. His
experience and discretion justify the hope,
that he may prove successful in convincing the
Paraguayan government, that it is due both to
honor and justice, that they should'voluntarily
and promptly make atonement for the wrongs
which they have committed against the United
States, and indemnify our injured citizens
whom they have forcibly despoiled of their
property.
Should our commissioner prove unsuccess
ful, after a sincere and earnest effort, to accom
plish the object of his mission, then no alter
native will remain, but, the employment of
force to obtain "just satisfaction" from Para
guay. In view of this contingency, the Secre
tary of the Navy, under my direction, has
fitted out and despatched a naval force, to ren
dezvous near Buenos Ayres, which, it is
believed, will prove sufficient for the occasion.
It is my earnest desire, however, that it may
not be found necessary to resort to this last
alternative.
When Congress met in December last, the
business of the country had just been crushed,
by one of those periodical revnlsions, which
are the inevitable consequence of our unsound
and extravagant system of bank credits and
inflated currency. With all the elements of
national wealth in abundance, our manufac
tures were suspended, our useful public and
private enterprises were arrested, and thou
sands of laborers were deprived Of employment
and reduced to want. Universal distress pre
vailed among the commercial, manufacturing,
and mechanical classes.
This revulsion was felt the more severely in
the United States, because similar causes had
produced the like deplorable effect throughout
the commercial nations of Europe. All were
experiencing sad reverses at the same moment.
Our manufacturers everywhere suffered severe
ly, not because of the recent reduction in the
tariff of duties on imports, but because there
was no demand at any price for their produc
tions. The people were obliged to restrict
themselves in their purchases, to the articles
of prime necessity. In the general prostration
of business, iron manufacturers, in different
States, probably suffered more than any other
class, and much destitution was the inevitable
consequence, among the_gmat number of work
men who had been employed in this useful
branch of our indbetry. ',There could be no
supply where there is no demand. To present
an example, there could be no demand for
- 1 -railroadsironrafter our magnificent system of
ittilmtadr, extending its benefits to every por
tion of the Union, had been brought to a dead
pause. The same consequences have resulted
from similar oanses to many other branches of
useful manufactures. • It is self-evident that
where there is no ability to purchase manufac
tured articles, these cannot be sold, and con
sequently must cease to be produced.
No government, and especially a government
of such limited powers as that of the United
States, could have prevented the late revulsion
The whole commercial world seemed for years
to-have been rushing to this catastrophe. The
ruinous consequences would have followed in
the United States, whether the duties upon
foreign imports had remained as they were
under the tariff of 1846, or had been raised to
a much higher standard. The tariff of 1857
had no agency in the result. The general
causes existing throughout the world, could
not have been controlled by the legislation of
any particular country.
The periodical revalsions which have exis
ted in our past history, must continue to return
at intervals, so long as out present unbounded
system of bank eredite shall prevail. They
will, however, probably be the less severe in
future; because it is not to be expected, at
least, for many years to come, that the com
mercial nations of Europe, with whose interests
our own are so materially involved, will expose
themselves to similar calamities. But this
subject was treated so much at large in my
last annual message that I shall not pursue it
further. Still, I respectfully renew th ',recom
mendation, iu favor of the passage of a uni
form bankrupt law, applicable to banking in
stitutions. This is all the power over the sub
ject which, I believe, the federal government
possesses. Such a law would mitigate, though
it might not prevent the evil. The instinct of
self-preservation might produce a wholesome
restraint upon their banking business, if they
knew in advance, that a suspension of specie
payments would inevitably produce their civil
death.
But the effects of the revulsion are now
slowly but surely passing away. The energy
and enterprise of our citizens, with our un
bounded resources, will, within the period of
another year, restore a state of wholesome in
dastry and trade. Capital has again accumul
ated in oar large cities. The rate of interest
is there very low. Confidence is gradually
reviving, and so soon as it is discovered that
this capital can be profitably employed in
commercial and manufacturing enterprises, 11
and in the construction of railroads and other
works of public and private improvement,
prosperity will again smile throughout the
land. It is vain, however to disguise the fact
from ourselves, that a speculative inflation
of our currency, without a corresponding in
flation in other countries whose manufactures
come into competition with our own, must
ever produce disastrous resultsrto our domes
tic manufactures. No tariff short of absolute
prohibition, can prevent these evil conse
quences.
In connexion with this subject, it is proper
to refer to our financial condition. The same
causes which have produced pecuniary distress
throughout the country, have so reduced the
amount of imports from foreign countries, that
the revenue has proved inadequate to meet
the necessary expenses of the government.—
To supply the deficiency, Congress, by the
act of the 23d of December, 1857, authorized
the issue of $20,000,000 of treasury notes ;
and this proving inadequate, they authorized,
by the act of June 14th, 1858, a loan of $20,-
000,000," " to be applied to the payment of
appropriations made by law."
No statesman would advise, that we should
go on increasing the national debt to meet the
ordinary expenses of the government. This
would be a most ruinous policy. In case of
war, our credit must be our chief resource, at
least for the first year, and this would be
greatly impaired by having contracted a large
debt iu time of peace. It is our true policy,
to increase our revenue so as to equal our ex
penditures. It would be ruinous to continue
to borrow. Besides, it may he proper to ob
serve, that the incidental protection, thus
aflbrded by a revenue tariff, would at the
present moment, to some extent, increase the
confidence of the manufacturing interests, and
give a fresh impulse to our reviving business.
To this, surely, no person will object.
In regard to the mode of assessing and col
lecting duties under a strictly revenue tariff, I .
have Long entertained and often expressed the
opinion that sound policy requires this should
be done by specific duties, iu cases to which
these can he properly applied. They are well
adapted to commodities which are usually sold
by weight or measure, and which from their
nature, are of equal or of nearly equal value.
Such for example, are the articles of iron of
different classes, raw sugar, and foreign wines
and spirits.
In my deliberate judgement, specific duties
are the best, if not the only means of securing
the revenue against the false and fraduleut
invoices, and such has been the practice adop
ted for this purpose by other commercial
nations. Besides specific duties would afford
to the American manufacturer the incidental
advantages to which he is fairly entitled under
a revenue tariff. The present system is a
sliding scale to his disadvantage. Under it,
when prices are high and business prosperous,
the duties rise in amount when he least re
quires their aid. On the contrary, when prices
fall, and he is struggling agains adversity, the
duties are dimished in the same proportion,
greatly to his injury.
Neither would there be danger that a higher
rate of duty than that intended by Congress,
could be levied in the form of specific duties.
It would be easy to ascertain the average value
of any imported article for a series of years ;
and instead of subjecting it to an ad valorem
duty at a certain rate per centum, to substit
ute in its place all equivalent specific duty.
By such an arrangement the consumer would
not be injured. It is true, he might have to
pay a little more duty on a given article in one
year; but if so, he would pay a little less in
another, and in a series of years these would
counterbalance each other, and amount to the
same thing, so far as his interest is concerned.
This inconvenience would be trifling, when
contrasted with the additional security thus
afforded against frauds upon the revenue, in
which every consumer is directly interested.
I have thrown out these suggestions as the
fruit of my own observation, to which Congress,
in their better judgment, will give such weight
as they may justly deserve.
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury will
explain in detail the operations of that department
Of the government. The receipts into the treasury
from all sources during the fiscal year ending 20th
June, 1853, including the treasury notes authorized
by the act of December 23d. 1857, were seventy
million two hundred and seventy-three thousand
eight hundred and sixty-nine dollars and fifty-nine
cents. ($70.273,060.59,) which amount, with the
balance of seventeen million seven hundred and
ten thousand one hundred and fourteen dollars and
twenty-seven cents, 1517,710.114.27,) remaining in
the treasury at the commencement of the year,
made an aggregate for the service of the year of
eighty-seven million nine hundred and eighty-three
thousand n inc hundred and chili Ty - three dollars
and eighty-six cents ($87,983,982.80).
The public expenditures during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1858, amounted to eighty-one
million live hundred and eighty-live thousand six
hundred and sixty-seven dollars and seventy-six
cents. ($81,385.667.76,) of which nine million six
hundred and eighty-four thousand five hundred
and thirty-seven dollars and ninety-nine cents,
($9,684.537.094 were applied to the payment of the
public debt, and the redemption of treasury notes
with the interest thereon, leaving in the treasury
on July 1, 1858, being the commencement of the
present fiscal year, six million three hundred and
ninety-eight thousand three hundred and sixteen
dollars and ten cents, ($6,398,316.10).
The receipts into the treasury, during the first
quarter of the present fiscal year, commencing the
Ist July. 1858, including one-half of the loan of
twenty millions of dollars, with the premiutn upon
it. authorized by the act of 1411, ,Tune. 1858, were
twenty-five million two hundred and thirty thou
sand eight hundred and seventy-nine dollars and
forty-six cents, ($25,230,879.46,) and the estimated
receipts for the remaining three quarters to the
30th June. 1559, from ordinary sources, are thirty
'eight million five hundred thousand dollars,
($38,500,000,) making, with the balance before
stated, an aggregate of seventy million one hun
dred and twenty-nine thousand one hundred and
ninety-five dollars and fifty-six cents, ($79,129.-
195.66).
The expenditures, during the first quarter of the
present fiscal year, were twenty-cue million seven
hundred and eight thousand one hundred and
ninety-eight dollars and fifty-one cents, ($21,708,-
198 51;) of which one million and ten thousand
one hundred and forty-two dollars and thirty-seven
cents ($1.010,142 37) were applied.to the . payment
of the public debt and the redemption of treasury
notes and the interest thereon. The estimated ex
penditures. ddring the remaining three quarters to
the 30th June, 1859, are fifty-two million, three
hundred and fifty-seven thousand six hundred and
ninety-eight dollars and forty-eight cents, ($52.-
357,698 48.) making an aggregate of seventy-four
million sixty-five thousand eight hundred and
ninety-six dollars and ninety-nine cents. ($74,06.5,-
806 99.) being an excess of expenditure. beyond
the estimated receipts into the treasury from ordi
nary sources, during the fiscal year to the 30th
Jane, 1859, of three million nine hundred and
thirty-six thousand seven hundred and one dollars
and forty-three cents, ($3.936.701 43.) Extraor
9iary means are placed by law within the com
mand of the Secretary of the Treasury, by the re
iAue of treasury notes redeemed, and by negotia
ting the balance of the loan authorized by the act
of 14th June, 1858, to the extent of eleven millions
of dollars, which, if realized during the present fis
cal year, will leave a balance in the treasury, on
the first day of July, 1859, of seven million sixty
three thousand two hundred and ninety-eight dol
lars and fifty-seven cents, ($7,063,298 57.)
The estimated 'receipts during the next fiscal
year ending 30th June, 1860, are sixty-two mil
lions of dollars '
- ($62,000,000,) which, with the
above estimated balance of soiree minions sixty-
three thousand two hundred and ninety-eight dol
lars and fifty-seven Cents, ($7 063 298 57) make
an aggregate for the service of the next fiscal
year, of sixty-nine million 'sixty-three thousand
two hundred and ninety-eight dollars and fifty
seven cents,(s69 063,298 57.) The estimated ex
penditures during the next fiscal year ending 30th
June, 1860, are seventy-three million one hundred
and thirty-nine thousand one hundred and forty
seven dollars and forty-six cents, ($73,139,147 46,)
which leave a deficit of estimated means, compa
red with the estimated expenditures for that year.
commencing on the Ist of July, 1859, of four
million and seventy-five thousand eight hundred
and forty-eight dollars and eighty-nine cents
($4.075,848 89.)
In addition to-this sum, the Postmaster General
will require from the treasury, for the service of
the Post Office Department, three millions eight
hundred and thirty-eight thousand seven hundred
and twenty-eight dollars, ($3,838.728) as explained
in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
which will increase the estimated deficit on the
30th June, 1860, to seven million nine hundred
and fourteen thousand five hundred and seventy
six dollars and eighty sine cents, ($7,914,576,89.)
To provide for the payment of this estimated defi
ciency. which will be increased by such appropria
tions as may he made by Congress. not estimated
for in the report of the Treasury Department, as
well as to provide for the gradual redemption,
from year to year, of the outstanding treasury
notes. the Secretary of the Treasury recommends
'such a revision of the present tariff as will raise
the required amount. After what I have already
said, I need scarcely add that I concur in the
opinion expressed in his report—that the public
debt should not he 'increased by an additional
Man. and would therefore strongly urge upon
Congress the duty of making. at their present
session, the necessary provision for meeting these
liabilities.
The public debt the let of July. 185 S, the
commencement of the present lisenl year, true
i5:!:,,15: - ,,977 66.
During the first quarter of the present fiscal
year, the sum of $10,000,000 has been negotiated
of the loan authorized by the act of 14th of June.
1858—making the present outstanding public debt.
exclusive of treasury notes $35,155,077 66. There
was on the Ist July, 1858, of treasury notes issued
by authority of the act of December 23, 1857, un
redeemed, the sum of sl9.7s4,Bo9—making the
amount of actual indebtedness, at that date. $54.-
910.977 66. T,, this will be added $10,000,000
during the present fiscal year—this being the re
maining half-of the loan of $20,000,000 not yet ne
gotiated.
The rapid increase of the public debt. and the
necessity which exists for a modification of the
tariff, to meet even the ordinary expenses of the
guvernment. ought to admonish no All, in our re
spective spheres of duty, to the_ practice of rigid
,eonomy. The objects of expenditure should be
limited in number, as fax as this may be practica
ble. and the appropriations necessary to carry them
into effect, ought to he disbursed under the strictest
aceountaidlity. Enlightened -economy does not
consist in the refusal to appropriate money for
constitutional purposes, essential to the defence.
progress and prosperity ut the republic., but in
taking care that none of this money shall be wasted
by mismanagement, in its application to the objects
designated by law.
Comparison between the annual expenditure at
the present time. and what it sync ten or twenty
years ago, are altogether fallacious. The rapid in
crease of our country in extent and population,
renders a corresponding increase of expenditure,
to some extent. unavoidable. This is constantly
creating new objects of expenditure, and augment
ing the ;Lumina required for the old. The true
questions then, are, have these objects been un
necessarily multiplied ur. has the amount expen
ded upon any or all of them, been larger than
comports with due economy? In accordance with
these principles, the heads of the different execu
tive departments of the government have been in
structed to reduce their estimates for the next fiscal
year to the lowest standard consistent with the
eftleieney of the service, and this duty they have
performed in a spirit of just economy.
The estimates of the Treasury, War. Navy and
Interior Departundits. have each been in some de
gree reddeed : and unless a sudden and unforeseen
emergency should arise, it is not anticipated that a
deficiency will exist in either within the present or
the next fiscal year. The Post Office Department
is placed inn peculiar position, different from the
other departments, and to this I shall hereafter
refer.
I invite Congress: to institute a rigid verutiny to
ascertain whether the expenses in all the depart
ments cannot he still further reduced and I prom
ise them all the aid in illy power in pursuing the
investigation.
I trallSlllit herewith the reports mode to me by
the Secretaries of War, of the Navy, of the Interior
and of the Postmaster General. They each contain
valuable info . rmation and important recommenda
tion,, to which r incite the alt,itii.o Conurci.s.
In my last annual mess:lg,, I took occazi.di to
recommend the immediate construction of ten
,deamers, of light draught. for the purpose of in
creasing the efficiency of the naVi. Congress re
sp.idol to the recommendation. by authorizing
the construction of eight of them. The progress
which has been made in executing this authority is
stated in the report of the Secretary of the Navy.
I concur with him in the opinhin, that a greater
windier of this class of ,ssels is accessary, for the
purpose of protecting in a more efficient manner
the persons and property of American citizens on
the high seas, and in f o reign eountries, us well as
in guarding more ellectually our own masts. I
:Lecordingly recommend the passage of an art, fur
this purpose.
The suggestions contained in the report of the
Secretary of the [nterior,espevially those in regard
to the disposition of the public domain, the pension
and bounty land system, the policy tow•arris the
Indians, nod the amendment of our patent laws.
are worthy of the serious consideration of Congress.
The Post Office Department occupies a position
very lifrervltt front that of the other departmen ES.
For many years it was the policy of the government
to render this a self-sustaining department and if
this vannot now be accomplished, in the present
condition of the country, we ought to make a , near
an approach to it as may be practicable.
The. Postmaster General is placed in a most .em
harrassing position by ih, existing laws. tie is
obliged to earn• these into effect. lie has no other
alternative. Ile finds, however, that this cannot
he done without heavy de 111 11,10 011 the treasury
over and above what he received for postage : and
these have been progressively increasing from year
to year until they amounted for the last. fiscal year,
etoiiug sin the 30th of June, 1555, To more than
four millions and a half of dollars: whilst it is es
timated that for the present fiscal year they will
amount to 56,290,000. The sums are exclusive of
the annual appropriation of $700,000 for. "compen
sation for the mail service performed 4.n the two
houses of Congress and the oilier departments and
offleers of the gover»meut in the transportation of
free matter."
The cause of these large deficits is mainly at
tributable to the increased expense of transporting
the !nails. In 1852 the sum paid for this service
was but a fraction above four millions and a quar
ter. Since that year it has annually increased until
in 1858 it has reached more than eight millions
and a quarter, and fur the service of 1859. it is es
timated that it will amount to more than ten mil
licns of dollars.
The receipts of the Post Office Department can
be made to approach or to equal its exptubliture,
only by means of the legislation of Congress. In
applying any remedy, care should be taken that
the people shall not be deprived of the advantages
which they are fairly entitled to enjoy from the
Post Office Department. The principal remedies
recommended to the consideration of Congress by
the Postmaster General. are to restore the former
rates of postage upon single letters to five cents :
to substitute for the franking privilege the delivery
to those now entitled to enjoy it, of post office
stamps for their correspondence, and to direct the
department, in making contracts for the transpor
tation of the mail, to confine itself to the payment
of the sum necessary for the single purpose, without
requiring it to be transported in post coaches or
carriages of any particular description. Under the
present system, the expense to the government is
greatly increased, by requiring that the mail shall
be carried in such vehicles as will accommodate
passengers. This will be done without pay from
the department, over all roads where the travel
will remunerate the contractors.
These recommendations deserve the grave con
sideration of Congress.
I would again call your attention to the construc
tion of a Pacific railroad. Time and reflection
have hut served to confirm me in the truth and
justice of the observations which I made on this
subject, in my last annual message, to which I beg
most respectfully to refer.
It is freely admitted that it would be inexpedi
ent for this government to exercise the power of
constructing the Pacific railroad by its own imedi
ate agents. Such a policy would increase the
patronage of the executive to a dangerous extent,
and introduce a system of jobbing and corruption,
which no vigilance on the part of federal officials,
could either prevent or detect. This can only be
done by the keen eye, and the - active and careful
supervision of individual and private interest.
The construction of the road ought, therefore. to
be committed to companies incorporated by the
States, or other agencies whose pecuniary interests
would be directly involved. Congress might then
assist them in the work by grants of land or money,
or of both, under such conditions and restrictions
as would secure the transportation of troops and
amunitions of war free from any charge, anti that
of the United States mail at a fair and reasonable
price.
The progress of events since the commencement
of your last session, has shown how soon dificulties
disappear before a firm and determined resolution.
At that time, such a read was deemed by wise and
patriotic men to he a visionary project. The great
distance to be overcome. and the intervening
mountains and deserts in the way, were obstacles
which, in the opinion of many, could not be sur
mounted. Now, after the lapse of but a single
year, these obstacles, it has been discovered, are
far less formidable than they were supposed to be;
and mail stages, with passengers, now pass and
repass regularly, twice each week, by a common
wagon road between San Francisco and St. Louis
and Memphis, in less than twenty-five days. The
service has been as regularly pertirmed, as it was,
in former years. between New York and this city.
Whilst disclaiming all authority to appropriate
money for the construction of this road, except that
derived from the war-making power of the constitu
tion, there are important collateral considerations
urging us to undertake the work as speedily as
as possible.
The first and most momentuous of these is, that
such a road would be a, powerful bond of union
between the States oast of and west of the Rocky
mountains. This is so self-evident as to require
no illustration.
Bet,,agaln, In a commercial point of view, I consider
WI the goat question of the day. With the easter:a
front of our republic stretching along the Atlantic. and
its western front along the Pacific. if all the parts should
he united by a safe, easy and rapid intercommunicatioa,
we must necessarily command a very large proportion
of the trade both of Europe and Asia.
Oar recent treaties with China and Japan will open
these rich and populous empires to our commerce ; and
the history of the world proves that the nation that hen
gained poseession of the trade with Eastern Asia, has
always become weal , hy and powerful. The peculiar
geographical position of California and our Pacific pos
sessions invites American capital and enterprise into
this fruitful field. To reap the rich harvest, however,
it is an indispensable pro-requisite, that we shall first
have a railroad to convey and circulate its products
throughout every portion of the Union. Besides, such
a railroad through oar temperate latitude which would
not be impeded by the frosts and snows of winter, nor
by the tropical heats of summer, would attract to itself
much of the travel and trade of all nations passing be
tween Europe and Asia-
On.the 21st of August last, Lieut. J. N.. Moat. of the
United States brig Dolphin, captnr"d the slaver •"Echo."
(formerly the Putnam of New Orleans) near Kay Verde.
on the coast of Cuba, with more than three hundred
African negroes on board The prize, under the com
mand of Lient Bra 'ford, of the United States navy, ar
rived at Charleston, on the 97th of August ; when the
negroes, three hundred and six in number, were deliv
ered into the custody of the United States marshal, for
the district of South Carolina. They were placed in
Castle Pinckney, and afterward in Port Sumpter, for
safe-keeping, and were detained there until the 19th of
September, when toe survivors, two hundred and sev
en Tone in number, were delivered onboard the United
States steamer Niagara, to be transported to the coast of
Africa, under the charge of the agent of the United
States, pursuant to the provisions - of the act of the 3rd
March, 1819, "in addition to the acts prohibiting the
slave trade."
Under the 2d section of this act, the President is "au
thorized to make such regulations and arrangemert.
as he may deem expedient for the safe-keeping, support
and removal beyond the limit of the United States, of
all ouch negro., mulattoes or persons of color" captur
ed by vessels of the United :gates, a, may be delivered
to the marshal of the district into which they are
brought. "and to appoint a proper person or persons
residing upon the coast of Africa, se agent or agents for
receiving the negroes, Mulatto., or persons of color,
delivered from on hoard vessels seized in the prosecu
tion of the slave trade by commanders of the United
States armed vessels."
A doubt immediately arose ae to the true construction
of this act. It is quite clear from its terms that the
President was authorized to provide " for the safe keep
ing, support and removal" tit these negroes op ti I the
time of their delivery to the agent on the coast of Africa;
hot no express provision men mule for their protection
and support after they had leached the place of their
destination. Still, an agent was to be appointed to re
ceive them in Africa; and it could not have been sup
poeed that Congress intended he should desert them at
the moment they were received, and turn them loose on
that inhospitable coast to perish for want of food, or to
become again the victims of the slave trade. Had this
been the intention of Congress. the employment of an
agent to receive them, who is required to reside on the
coast, wan unnecessary, and they might h .ve been land
ed by oar vessels anywhere in Africa,
and left exposed
to the sufferings and the fate which would certainly
await them.
Mr. M. ,, nroe, in his special message of I7th of Decem
ber, 1819, at the first session alter the act was passed,
announced to Congress what, in his opinion, was its
true construction. He believed it to be his duty under
it, to follow these unfortunates into Africa, and make
provision for them there, until they should be able to
provide for themselves. lu communicating this inter
pretation of the act of Congress, he said that some
doubt had been entertained as to its true intent and
meaning, and he submitted the question to them, so
that they might, "should it be deemed advisable, amend
the same before further proceedings are bad under it.
Nothing was done by Congress to explain the act,
and Mr. Monroe proceeded to carry It into execution
according to his own intrepretation. This, then, be
came the practical construction. When the Africans
from on board the Echo were delivered to the marshal
at Charleston. it became my duty to consider what dis
position ought to be made of them under the law. For
many reasons, it was expedient to remove them from
that locality as speedily as possible. Although the con
duct of the authorities and citizens of Charlestouin giving
countenance to the execution of the law, aao just what
might have been expected from their high character, yet
a prolonged continuance of three hundred Africans in the
immediate vicinity of that city, could not have failed to
become a source of inconvenience and anxiety to its in
habitants. Where to send them, was the question.—
There was no portion of the coast of Africa to which
they could be removed with any regard to humanity,
except to Liberia.
Under these circumstances, an agreement was entered
into with the Colonization Society on tne7th of Septem
ber last, a copy of which is hertwith transmitted, under
which the Society engaged for C 513 consideration of forty
five thousand dollar, to receive these Africans In Liberia
from the agent of the United States, and furnish them
during the period of one year thereafter, with comfort
able shelter, clothing, provisions and medical atten
dance, causing the children to receive schooling; and
all, whether children or adults to be instructed in the
arts of civilization life, suitable to their condition.
This aggregate of forty-five thousand dollars was
based upon an allowance of one hundred and fifty dol
lars for each individual, and as there has been consid
erable mortality among them, and may he more before
they reach Africa, the Society have agreed, In au equi
table spirit, to make such a deduction from the amount,
as under the circumstances may appear juet and rea
sonable. This cannot be fixed until we shall ascertain
the actual number which may become a charge to the
society.
It was also distinctly agreed, that under no circum
stances shall this government be called upon fur any
additional expenses.
The agents of the society manifested a laudable desire
to conform to the wishes of the government, throughout
the transaction, They assured me that, after a careful
calculation, they would be required to expend the sum
of one hundred and fifty dollars on each individual in
complying with the agreement. and they would have
m thing left to remunerate them for their care, trouble
and responsibility. At all events, i could make no bet
ter arrangemet and there was no Whet alternative—
During the period when the government itself, through
its own agents, undertook the test[ of providing for the
captured negro. lu Africa, the cost per head we,: very
much greater.
There having been no outstanding appropriation ap
plicable t this purpose, I could not advance any money
on the agreement. l therefore recommend that an ap
propriation may b- made, of the amount necessary to
carry it into effect.
tther captures of s similar character may, and prob
ably will, be mode by our naval forces. and I earnestly
recommend, that Congress may amend the second sec
tion of the act of March 3, 1839, so se to free its con
struction from the ambiguity which has so long exist
ed, and render the duty of the President plain in exe
cuting its provisions.
I recommend to your favorable regard the local in
terests of the District of Colombia. As the residence of
Congress and the executive departments of the govern
ment, we cannot fail to feel a deep concern in Its wel
fare. This is heightened by the high character and the
peaceable and orderly conduct of Its resident inhabi
tant,
I cannot conclude without performing the agreeable
duty of rxpre.siug my gratification, that C,ongreas eo
kindly responded to the recommendation of my lent au
until message. by affording me sufficient time before the
close of their late session fur the examination of all the
bills presented to me for approval. This change in the
practice of Congress, has proved to he al wholesome re
form. It exerted a beneficial influence on the transac
tion of legislative business, and elicited the general
approbation of the country. It enabled Congress to
adjourn with that dignity and deliberation 1,0 becoming
to the representatives of this great republic. without
having crowded into general appropri,iioll hills provi-
Flone foreign to their nature, .d of doubtful coustitit
tionality and expediency. Let me warmly and strongly
commend this precedent, established by themselves, as
a guide to their proceedings during the present session

DEAFNESS, TOTAL OR PARTIAL, ENTIRELY
- - -
DR. H. ENWOOD. SR., begs leave to call the attention o
those suffering under a partial or total lose of the sense of
bearing to the following facts: He treats diseases of the mid
die and Internal ear with medicated douches, such so la
practised in the Infirmaries of Berlin, Lepisic, Brussels,
Hamburg and Petersburg, and lately by the most distin
guished London aurists, with the most wonderful success;
indeed, it Is the only method that has been universally
imccessfed,
The best proof of the efficacy of thin treatment will be a
mffirence to nearly nine hundred names, residenta of the
United States. Canada, Now Brunswick and Nova Scotia,
who have been restored to acute bearing, and not a single
solitary case. to our knowledge, did wo fail to effect either
a partial or total restoration of the hearing, when our
advice and instructions were faithfully and punctually ad•
tiered tn. Many who could not hear the report of a pistol
at arm'e length, can now hear a watch beat at the distance
of four feet. In canoe of mucus accumulation In the Eusta
chian Tube and Tympanum, Inflammation of the macne
membrane, nervous affections, diseases of the membrane
tympard, railed the •• Drum," or when the disease can be
traced to the effects of foyers, or colds, the use of quinine
or =curial medicines, gatherings In the ears in chldbood,
&r., this treatment stands pro eminent. When the audi
tory canal is dry and scaly, with little or no secretion,
when the deafness is accompanied with noise In the ear,
like falling of water,chirping of insects. ringingof belltcrtust
ling of leaves, continued pulsations, a discharge of matter;
or when stooping, a sensation is felt as if a a rush of blood
to the head had taken place; when the hearing Is less
neut.. In dull, cloudy weather, or whets a cold hen been ta
ken, this method of treating the disease Is Infallible. In
deo( and dumb caste, my °anemone,. warrants me In saying
that If the Marine wo mod at any lime, much can be
areomplinhett In the o deaf and dumb schools air Lepelc,
out of a class of thurkein, I nuecetele.l in restoring four to
acute hearing
Dr. K. begs explcitly lo state that In those cases he un

ERY OF TILE AGE.—Dr. KcaNcuv. of Roxbury, ha
litionvored, in our or oar errurnon peat urn weedq, n remedy
that cures
from the worst ;Scrofula twin to a ~ , ammo,
Ile hos tried it iu over lbw cases, and never laded except
in twin rases, (both thunder humor.) Ile has now In Ills
possession inner two haminat certifirates or Its virtue, al
within twenty miles of Boston.
Two bottles are warranted to cure a nursing more mouth
One to throe bottles will cure the worst blind of Pimples
on the face.
Twu to three bottles will dear the system of Biles.
Two bottles are warranted to cure the worst cooker
the mouth or stomach.
Three to fire bottles are'warronted to curd the worst case
of Elrynipelas.
One or two bottle.. are warminted to cure all humor in
the Eyes.
Two laittles aro warranted to cure running of the earn
and blotches among the hair.
Four to six bottler are warranted to cure corrupt and
running ulcers.
One bottle will cure Healy eruption of tho skin.
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure the worst
cases of ringworm .
Two to three bottles are warranted to cure tine unmet des
perate onion of rheumatism.
Three to four bottles are warraoted to cure the sal
rheum.
Five to eight betties will cure the worst case of scrofula
A. benefit is always experienced front the first bottle, and
3 perfect cure is warranted irlion the above quantity Is
taken.
Header, I peddled over a thousand bottlee of this to the
vicinity of Boston. I know the effect of it in every caste.—
So sure as water will extinguish tire, no sure will this cure
humor. I never wild a tattle of It, but that sold another;
after a trial it always speaks for itself. There ore two
things about thin herb that appear surprising; first, that
It groove in our pastures, In SUMO places quite plentiful,
and yet Ito value has never been known until I discovered
it In 1846—second, that it should cure all kinds of humor
In order to give some idea of the sudden rise, and great
popularity of the discovery, T will Oate that in .April, 1A53,
I peddled it and sold about six bottled per day—in April,
1554, I sold over one thou-Hlld betties per day of It.
Some of the wholesale druggists who, have been in the
business twenty and thirty years, may that nothing iu the
annals of patent medicines was ever like it. There In tt
universal praise of it faun all quarters.
In my own praetiee I always kept it strictly for humors
—but since its intruder , iOll no a general family medicine,
Teat and wonderful virtues have been found in it that I
never suspected.
Several cases of epileptic tits—a disease which was always,
considered incurable, have been cured by a few bottles.—
11, what a merry if it prove effectual In nll otiose of that
awful malady—there are but few who have seen mere oflt
than I hove.
I know of several moms of Dropsy, all of them aged peo
ple, cured by it. For the various diseases of the Liver, Sick
Head:vile. Dyspepsia. Asthma. Fever and Ague, pain in
the side. Diseases of the Spine, and p rot icularly In dieeases
of the Kidneys, Ac., the discovery hits done inure good than
any medicine ever known.
No change of diet ever necessary—tat the beet you get
