The condition of the navy is not merely sat
factorv, hut exhibits the most gratifying evi
dences of increased vigor. As it is compara
tively small, it is more important that it should
he as complete as possible in all the elements
of strength ; that it should be efficient in the
character of its officers, in the Real and disci
pline of its men, in the reliability of its ord
nance, and in the capacity of its ships. In all
these variona qualities the navy has made great
progress within the last few years. The exc
retion or the law of Congress, of February 28
1855, "to promote the efficiency of the navy,"
has been attended by the most advantageous
results. The law for promoting the discipline
among the iueu is found convenient and sslu-
tarv.
the system of granting an honorable dis
eliiirjre to faithful seamen on the expiration of
the period of thrir enlistment, and permitting
them to reinlist after a leave of absence of a
few mouths, without cessation of pay, is high
|v lieiirficial in its influence. The apprentice
system recently adopted is evidently destined
to incorporate into the service a large number
of our countrymen hitherto so difficult to pro
cure. Several hundred American boys are
„ow on a three years' cruise in onr national
vessels, and will return well trained seamen.—
in the Ordnance Department there is a decid
ed and gratifying indication of progress credi
table to it and to the country. The sugges
tions of the Secretary of the Navy, in regard
to further improvement in that branch of the
service, I commend to your favorable action.
The new frigates ordered by congress are
now afloat, and two of thein in active service.
Thi-v are superior models of naval architecture,
ami with their formidable battery, add largely
to public strength and security.
i concur in the views expressed by the Sec
retary of the Department in favor of a still
further increase of our naval force.

•"•nig the same period, amounted,
to more than twenty-two millions—an increase
of six millions upon those of the previous year.
The improved condition af this branch of
our eemmerce is mainly attributable to the
above mentioned treaty.
Provision was made in the first article of that
treaty, for a commission to designate the
mouths of rivers to which the common right of
fishery, on the coast of the United States and
the British Provinces, was to extend. This
commission has been employed part of two sea
sons, but without much progress in accomplish
ing the object for which it was instituted, in
consequence of a serious difference of opinion
between the commissioners, not only as to the
precise point where the rivers terminate,but in
many instances as to what constitutes a river.
These difficulties, however, may be overcome
bv resort to the umpirage provided for by the
treaty.
The efforts perseteringly prosecuted since
the commencement of my Administration, to
relieve our trade to the Baltic from the exac
tion of sound dues by Denmark, have not vet
been attended with success. Other Govern-
ments have also sought to obtain a like relief
to their commerce, and Denmark was thus in
duced to propose an arrangement to all the
European powers interested in the subject; and
the manner in which her proposition was re
ceived, warranting her to believe that a satis
factory arrangement with them could soon be
concluded, she made a strong appeal to this
Government for temporary suspension of defi
nite action on its part, in consideration of the
embarassment which might result to her Kuro
|can negotiations by an immediate adjustment
of the question with the United States.
This request has been acceded to, upon the
condition that the sums collected after the llitli
of June last, and until the lfith ol June next,
from vessels and cargoes belonging to our mer
chants, are to be considered as paid under pro
test and subject to future adjustment. There
is reason to believe that an arrangement, be
tween Denmark and the maritime powers of
Europe on the subject, will be soon concluded,
and that, the pending negotiation with the
United States may then be resumed aud term
inated in a satisfactory manner.
With Spain no new difficulties have arisen,
nor has much progress been made in the ad
justment ef pending ones.
Negotiations entered into for the purpose of
relieving our commercial intercourse with the
Island of Cuba of some of its burdens, and
providing for the more speedy settlement of lo
cal disputes growing out of that intercourse,
have not yet been attended with any results.
Soon after the commencement of the late
war in Europe, this Government submitted to
the consideration of all maritime nations, two
principles for the security of neutral commerce:
one that the neutral flag should cover ene
mies' goods, except articles contraband of war;
and the other, that neutral property ou board
merchant vessels of bclligrants should be ex
empt from condemnation, with the exception
of contraband articles.
These were not presented as new rules of in
ternational law ; having having been general
ly claimed by neutrals, though not always ad
mitted by belligerents. One of the parties to
the war—Russia—as well as several neutral
powers, promptly acceded to these propositioi s;
and the two other principal belligerents, Great
Britain and France, having consented to ob
serve them for the present occasion a favorable
opportunity seemed to be presented for obtain
ing a general recognition of them both in Eu
rope and America.
But Great Britain and France, in common
with most of the States of Europe, while for
bearing to reject, d : d not affirmatively act up
on the overt ires of the United Slates.
While the question was in this position, the
representatives of Russia, France, Great Bri
tain, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia and Turkey,
| assembled at Paris, took into consideration tin*
i -mliject of maritime rights, ami p .t forth a declaration
containing; the two prin iples which this Government had
I submitted, nearly tw > years liefore, to the consideration
i of maritime powers, and suhling thereto the following
j propositions: '• Privateering is and remains aboli-hed,"
| and " Blockades, in oriior to fie Binding, must be effective
| •' —that is to say. maintained by a force sufficient really
! •• to prevent access to the roast of the enemy," and to the
| declaration thus composed of four points, two of which
had already been proposed by the i'nited States, the Go
vernment has i een invited to accede ly all the Powers
r.- presented at Paris, ex ej t Great Britain and Turkey.
To the la-t of the two additional propositions—that in
relation to blockades—there can certainly be no objection.
It is merely the definition of what shall constitute the ef
fectual investment of a b ooknded place, a definition for
which this Government has always contended, claiming
indemnity for 1 isses where a | radical violation of tlie rule
thus defined has been injitriot sto our commerce. As to
the remaining declaration of the Conference of Paris,
" That | rivati ering is and remans abolished"—l certain
ly cann >t a-rrilK.- to tiie Powers represented in the Confe
rence of Paris, any but lilioral and philanthropic views in
the attempt to change the unquestionable rule of maritime
law in regard to privateering.
Their proposition was doubtless intended to imply ap
proval of the principle that private property upon the
ocean although it might U-l mg to the citizen's of a belli
gerent state, sliould be exempted from capture : and had
that proposition been so framed as to give lull effect to the
principle, it would have received my ready assent on lie
half of the I'niled States. But the measure proposed is
inadequate to that purpose. It is true that if adopted,
private property upon tiie ocean would he withdrawn from
one mode of plunder, but left exposed, meanwhile, to an
other mode, which could be used with increased effective
ness. The aggressive capacity of gieat naval powers
would be thereby augmented, while the defensive ability
of others would lie rcdueed.
Though the surrender of the means of prosecuting hos
tilities by employing privateers, as proposed by the Con
ference of Paris, is mutual in terms, yet, in praetical ef
fect, it would the relinquishment of a right of little value
to one class of states, but of essential itnp utatice to ano
ther and far larger etas-. It ought not to have been anti
cipated that a measure so inadequate to the accomplish
ment of the proposed object, and so unequal in its opera
tion. would receive the assent of all maritime powers.—
Private property would lie still left to the depredations of
the public armed cruisers.
I have expressed a readiness on the part of this Govern
ment to accede to all the principles contained in the dec
laration of the Conferem e at Paris, provided that relating
to the abandonment of privateering can be so amended as
to effect the object for which, as is presumed, it was in
tended, the immunity of private property on the ocean
from hostile capture.
To effect this object it is proposed to add to the decla
ration that " privateering is ami remains abolished," the
following amendment: " Ami that the private property of
'• subjects and citizens of a belligerent on the high seas,
" shall be exempt from seizure by fhe public armeil ve--
" eis of the other belligerent, except it be contraband.''
This amendment has iieen presented not only to the pow
ers which has asked our assent to the declaration to abol
ish privateering, but to all other maritime States. Thus
far it has not lieen rejected bv any, and is favorably enter
tained by all which have made any communication in reply.
Several of the Governments, regarding with favor the
proposition of the United States, have delayed definite ac
tion upon it. only for the purpose of consulting with oth
ers, parties to the conference of Paris. I have the satis
faction of stating, however, that the Emperor of Russia
has entirely and explicitly approved of that modification,
and will co-operate in endeavoring to obtain the assent ot
other powers ; and that assurances of a similar purport
have been received in relation to tlie disposition of the
Emperor of the French.
The present aspect of tlii< itnp >rtaut subje t allows us
to cherish the hope that a principle so humane in its cha
racter, so just and equal in its operation, so essential to
the prosperity of commercial nations, and so consonant to
the sentiments of this enlightened period ol tiie world,will
command the admiration of all maritime Powers, and thus
be incorporated into the code ot international law.
My views on the subject are more fully set forth in the
reply of the Secretary of State, a copy of which is here
with* transmitted, to the communications on the subject
made to this Government, especially to the communica
tion of France.
The Government of the United States has at all times
regarded with friendly interest the other States ot Ameri
ca, formerly, like this country, European colonics, and
now independent members of the great family of nations.
But the unsettled condition of some of them,distracted In
frequent revolutions, and thus'incapable ot regular and
firm internal administration, has tended to embarrass oc
casionally our public intercourse, by reason ot wrongs
which our citizens sutler at their hands, and which they
are slow to redress.
Unfortunately, it is against the Republic of Mexieo.with
wh < h it is our special ctesire to maintain a good under
standing, that such complaints are most numerous ; and
although earnestly urged upon its attention, they ha7e not
as yet received the attention which this Government had
a right to expect. While reparation for past injuries has
been withheld, others have been added. The political con
dition of that country, however, has been such as to de
imind forbearance on the part of the United Spates. 1 shall
continue my efforts to procure for the rougs of our citi
zens that redress which is indispensable to the continued
friendly association of tire two Republics.
Ihe peculiar condition of uffairs in Nicaragua in the
early part of the present year, rendered it Important that
this Government should have diplomatic relations with
that State, Through its territory had been opened one of
the principal thoroughfares across the isthmus, connect
ing North and South America, on which a vast amount of
property was transported, and to which our citizens re
sorted in great numbers, in passing between the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts ot the United States. The protection
o( both required that the existing power in that State
should lie regarded as a responsible Government; and its
Minister was accordingly received. Hut lie remained here
only a short time.
Soon thereafter Hie political affairs of Nicaragua under
went unfavorable change, and became involved i much
uncertainty and confusion. Itipiuufatir representatives
front two contending parties have been recently scut to
this Government; but with the impcrfeet Inifonnatiou
possessed, it was not possible to decide which was the Go
yerument dc facto; and awaiting further developments, I
have refused to receive either.
Questions of the most scriows nature are pending be
tween the United States and the Republic of New Grana
da. The Government of that Republic undertook, a vear
since, to impose tunnage duties on foreign Vessels in" her
ports, but the purpose was resisted bv this Government
as being contrary to existing treaty stipulation with the
United States, and to rights eonlVrfeil by charter upon the
I auama Railroad Company, aud was accordingly relin
quished at that time, it being admitted that our "vessels
were exempt from tunnage duty in the free ports of Pan
ama and Aspinwall. Hut the purpose has been recently
revived, on the part of NY\f Granada, by the enactment of
a law to subject vessels visiting her ports to the tunnage
d"t\ ot 40 cents per tuu ; and, although the law has not
la-en in force, yet the right to inforce it is still asserted,
and may, at any time, be acted on by the Government of
that Republic.
Hie < ongress of New Granada has also enacted a law
during the last year, which levies a tax of mm* than Jit
on every pound of mail matter transported across the Isth
mus. The sum thus required to lie paid on the mails of
the United States, would be nearly i 2,000,000, annually,
in addition to the large sum payable by contract to the
Panama Railroad Company. It tiie only objection to this
exaction were the exorbitancy of its amount, it could not
be submitted to by the United States.
The imposition of it, however, would obviously contra
vene our treaty with New Granada, and infringe the con
tract of that republic with the Panama Railroad Compa
ny. The law providing for this tax was, bv its terms, to
take effect on the first of September last, but the local au
thorities on the Isthmus have been induced to suspend its
execution, and to await further instructions on the sub
ject from the Government of the republic. lam not yet
advised of the determination of that Government. If a
a measure so extraordinary in its character,and so clearly
contrary to treaty stipulations and the contract of the Pa
nama Railroad Company, composed mostly of American
citizens, should be persisted in, it will be the duty of the
United States to resist its execution.
1 regret exceedingly that occasion exists to invite vonr
attention to a subject of still graver import in our relations
with tiie Republic of New Granada, tin the lath day of
April last, a riotous assemblage of the inhabitants of Pan
am i committed a violent and outrageous attack on the
premises of the Railroad Company, and the passengers
aud other persons in or near the same, involving the death
of several citizens of the United States, the pillage of ma
ny others, ami the destruction of a large amount of pro
perty belonging to the Railroad Company.
cau-ed full inve tigation of that event to be ni ideamd
the result shows satisfactorily tint complete responsibili
ty for what occurred attaches to the Government of New
Granada. I have, therefore, demanded of that Govern
ment that the perpetrators of the wrongs in question
should be punished : that provision should be made for
the families ot citizens ol the United States who were kill
ed, with full indemnity for the property pillaged or des
troyed.
The present condition of the Isthmus of Panama, in so
far as regards the security of persons or property passing
over it, requires serious consideration. Recent "incidents
tend to show that the local authorities cannot be relied on
to mniiita.il the pu'ilc peace of Panama, and there is just
ground tor apprehension that a portion of the inhabitants
are meditating further outrages, without adequate meas
ures tor the protection and security of persons or proper
ty, having been taken, either bv tiie state of Panama, or
by the General Government of Sew Granada.
Under the guaranties of treaties, citizens of the United
States, have by the outlay of several millions of dollars,
constructed a railroad across the Isthmus, and it has be
come the main route between our Atlantic and Pacific
possessions, over which multitudes of our citizens aud a
vast amount of property arc constantly passing—to the
security and protection of all which, and the continuance
of the public advantages involved, it is impossible for the
Government of the United States to be indifferent.
I have deemed the danger of the recurrence of scenes of
lawless violence in this quarter so imminent as to make it
my duty to station a part of our naval forces in the harbors
>i Panama and Aspiuwall, in order to protect the persons
and property of the citizens of the I'nitcd States in t!m>e
pons. and to insure tliem'safe passage across the Isthmus.
And it would, in my judgment, lie unwise to withdraw the
nov.il force now in iho-e ports, until, by the spontaneous
action of the Republic ol New Rrauada"oroth>-'i wise.sonie
ad quale arrair.emeut shall have been made for the pro
tection and security nt a 1 ino of iuter-oceanic communica
tion so important at thi- time, not to the I'nitcd State-,
only, lint to all other Maritime States both of Europe and
America.
Meanwhile, negotiations have been instituted by means
of a special commission, to nb'an from New (iruuad i full
indemnity for injuries sustained by our citizens on the
I st! i mus. and satisfactory security for the general interests
of the raited States.
In addressing to you my la-t annual message, the occa
sion seems to ni - a i npprnpriatc one to express my coti
gratulatious in view ol the peace, greatness and felicity
which the L nited States now possess and enjoy.
To point you to the state of the various Departments of
the fiov'eminent, and of ail the great brunches of the pule
lie service, civil and military, in order to speak of the in
te'ligence ai d integrity which pervades the whole, would
he to indicate but imperfectly the administrative condition
of the country, and the beiiclioia! effects of that on the
g moral welfare. Nor would it suffi-c to say that the na
tion was actually at peace at home and abroad ; that its
industrial interests are prosperous : that the canvass of
its mariner- whitens every .-c.a ; and the plough of its hus
h in.linen is mar liing onward to the hi conquest of
tos Continent ; that cities and populous States are spring
i g up. as it hy enchantment, from the bosom of our west
er i wilds, and that the courageous energy of our people is
making of these I'nitcd States the (ireat'ltepnblic of the
world.
'1 hese results hive not been attained without passing
through trialsaml perils, hy experience of which, and thus
only, rations can harden into manhood. Our forefathers
were trained to the wi-d-on which conceived, and the cou
rage which achieved independence, by the circumstances
which surrounded them, and they were thus made caps
ble of the creation of the Itepublic. It devolved on the
next generation to consolidate the work of the Revolution
to deliver the country entirely from the influence of con
flicting transatlantic partialities or antipathies, which at
tached to our colonial history, and to organize the practi
cal opera i ui of the constitutional and legal institutions of
the I'liiou.
To us, of this generation, remains the not less noble task
of maintaining and extending the power of the Cuited
States. \\ eh ve, at length, reached that stage of the na
tional car-XT, in which the dangers to be encimiitered,aiid
the exertions to be made, are the incidents, not of weak
ness, but of strength. In our foreign relations we have to
atti mper our power to the less happy condition of other
republics in America, and to place ourselves in the calm
ness and c ns i u-dignity of right by the side of the great
est and wealthiest of the empires of Europe.
In our domestic relations, we have to guard against the
•shock of the di c .ntents, the ambitions, the interests, and
the exuberant, and, therefore, sometimes irregular impul
ses of opinion, or of action, which are the natural product
of the present political elevation, the self-reliance and the
restless spirit of enterprise of the I'nitcd States.
1 shall prepare to surrender the Executive trust to my
successor, and retire to private life with sentiments of pro-1
found gratitude to the good Providence which,during the I
p iiod of iny Administration,has vouchsafed to carry the
country through many difficulties, dome-tie and foreign, -
and to enable me to contemplate the spectacle of amicable j
and respectful relations between ours and all other (!ov- '
erninents, and the establishment of constitutional order j
and tranquility throughout the I'uion.

THE TRIBUNE FOR 1857.
Ttie Election is past, and its results proves that the
work devolved on the Republican party is not yet cow
; pleted. In all the Eastern and Northern portions of the
I country—in New-England. New-York,Ohio and the Xorth
, West—the Republican banner (loots in triumph : while in
Southern Jersey. Pennsylvania. Indiana and Illinois—in
j short, wherever few newspapers are taken, and where
] common schools are too new and too feeble to have edu
cated the present generation of voters—the black flag of
Slavery obstructs the sunshine. A stranger to America
' might distinguish those portions of our country most
! blessed with Education, Intelligence, Thrift and Virtue,
by scanning the returns of the Presidential contest of 1856.
j We have failed of present success, not because the Peo
ple are against us. but because that large portion who did
not hear or read the argument, and do not know what
were the real questions at issue, went almost solid against
us, reversing the verdict which the great majority of the
educated ami intelligent endeavored to pronounce.
These facts indicate the path of pressing dutv. With
no unmanly repiuings over what is irrevocable—with no
abatement of heart or hope because the triumph of Liber
tv in her new ordeal is not won at the Long Island and
White Plains of her struggle—witl shadow of regret
that the responsibility of governing is not confided to her
champions before the People were fiillr ready to sustain
them—we begin afresh the work of diffusing that vita!
truth which, in regard to tlie concerns of this world as
j well as of the next, makes Free indeed. Now. in the
I Slave Power's heyday of victory. when its ministers and
j servitors are gathering and plotting to make the most of
their triumph and " crush out" the spirit which they vain
| ly believe to be crucified and entombed -now. when the
j faint-hearted or cold-hearted who lately basked in the
i sunshine of our premature hopes are hauling off to repair
! damages and talking of abandoning the rugged arena of
! Politics*for more quiet aud flowery fields—now. in this
hour ol weariness and shadow. THK TIUBI NK renews its
vows ol eternal hostility to every form of tyranny over
; the bodies or souls of men—to the shameful assumption
that the benighted and feeble, whether in soul or body,
are to In? regarded ami treated as the convenience or the
prey of their wiser or stronger brethren—to the doiniua
| lion of dospots and oligarchs, whether of empires or plan
■ tations—to the enslavers ol cities and kingdoms in Europe
! or the breeders of children for the auction-block aud the
cotton-field in Virginia or Alabama.
' The doctrine that no human being was ever created for
the lienetit or advantage of another—that all service be
tween man and man should be free and reciprocal that
the laborer should not toil and sweat to pamper others'
pride or minister to others' luxury, but for the sustenance
and comfort of those near and dear to him—is destined to
certain triumph. It must prevail, for God reigns, and
Earth was not created to be a theatre of injustice, oppres
sion and misery for ever. It must triumph ; tor all true
prophecy affirms and the vindication of the Divine benig
nity imperatively requires it. It must triumph ; for De
mocratic America cannot always remain the scoff of aris
tocrats and the shame of reformers and liberals through
out the Old World. It must triumph ; for Man's history
is not a chaos or a riddle, hut everywhere instinct with
meaning ; and no heroic effort ever failed of its effect—no
drop of martyr blood was ever shed in vain.
But even if we Republicans were disposed to fold our
arms in slumberouradversaries would not permit it. They
ure busy to-day in lengthening their cords and strength
ening their stakes with a vigilance and activity which re
veals a consciousness on their part that their dominion
must he made sure forthwith or their sceptre will have
forever departed. To-day, myrmidoms of the Slave Pow
er threaten and harass Northern Mexico, are encamped
in the heart of t 'entral America and waging a war of ex
termination on the distracted inhabitants of its petty Re
publics, while it by turns leers and scowls at Cuba, while
its most ruthless bands are precipitated oil devoted Kan
sas, nnder the protection and smiles of the Federal Ad
ministration. Even as we write, the telegraph informs
us that twenty Free-State men, guilty of attempting to
defend their homes against the rapine and violence of Bu
ford's and Titus' blood-thirsty bandits, have lieen convic
ted by Leeompte's Court of manslaughter! and sentenced
to five years' imprisonment at hard l.ilior as felons.* This
is but a fair specimen of what has long passed for "jus
tice' in Kansas—a justice which takes the criminals into
pay and aids them in limiting down, plundering and
" wiping out" the innocent, whom it consigns to the
State prison if they are ever goaded into the m adness of
resisting their oppressors. Such crimes and wrongs as
unhappy Kansas has for twelve months endured, even
Hungary or Poland has never known ; and the Power at
whose instigation these villainies were and are perpetra
ted sits enthroned in the White House, and has just
achieved another four years' ascendancy in the Federal
Government. Who, in view of these facts, can say that
Republicans may now pile their arms, even for an "hour ?
THE Titißt-NK will l*,as it has been, a Political Jour
nal avowedly, though not exclusively so. It recognizes
the truth that !• recdom and Slavery are here grappled in
deadly conflict, and tliat in the result one of them must
lose all control over the Federal Government. But, while
it gives prominence and emphasis to the discussion and
elucidation of the great issue of the day, it sinks none of
tlie characteristics of a Business ami family Newspaper.
The proceedings of Congress, like those in* Kansas, will
be watched ami reported by an able and fearless corps ol
Correspondents, while from I-ondon, Paris. Constantino
ple, Havana, San Francisco, Albany and other centres ol
interest, our special advices will be, as they have been,
fresh and reliable. A member of our Editorial corps—
Bayard Taylor—is now in Northern Europe, and will
spend the Winter in Sweden. Lapland, Russia, thence
making his way next season across Siberia and Tartary
to the mouth ot the Amour, ami thence homeward by the
Pacific and California, unless some change of route shall
pfomise greater interest and profit to our readers, for
wh m alone he wdi w rite regularly throughout his adven
turous journey, which is likely to require two vears for
its completion. Our reports of the most interesting Lec
tures. Public Meetings, ,Vc., will be full and reliable, and
our Foreign and Domestic News made up with a careful
regard to the condensation into our ample columns of the
greatest amount of intelligence tliat is consistent witli
the use of type of a geuerons size. In short, if we fail to
make iHE 1 mitrxi: worth its cost, it shall not be for want
of expenditure or effort.
IF it be deemed desirable by Republicans that THE TRI
BI'XK should he circulated in their several localities, we
urge them to sec tliat Clubs be made up and forwarded
iu due season. The Postmasters are serni-officially ad
monished not to aid our circulation, hut to urge instead
tliat oi journals deemed " sound" and " National" by the
compatriots of Atchison and Stringfellow. We ask live
Republicans everywhere to take care that these efforts be
not effectual to quench the light of Freedom in the mur
ky mists of Slavery.
