The amount of the prblio debt of all classes was on the fourth, of March, _ 1852, sixty nine millions ouo hundred and ninety thousand . apd thirty f evsn dollar?, payments oa acoount-of which have been made.siaco that period to tho amount of twelve million seven hunared and throo thousand three hundred and twenty nine dollars, leaving unpaid and in a continuous course of liquidation the sum of fifty six million four hundred ond eighty six thousand seven hundred and oight dollars. These payments, although made at tho market price of tho respective classes of stocks, have been cffcoted readily, and to the general advan tage of tho treasujy, and have at the same time proved of signal utility in the relief they have incidentally afforded to tho money market, and to the industrial and commercial pursuits of the country. The second of tho above named objects—that he reduction of the tariff of >s• ».*: ‘ - s r \ stricter to cases where it would be for the interest of a pro rnotor under hk&circQmst&nccs thus to contribute to the construction of these works. - V • For the practical operation of such grants thus fir In ad* ranting the interests oj the States in which the: works aro tOOu at the same time the substantial interest* of ail tne other states, by enhancing tho value and promoting the rapid sale of public domain, I refer you to the report of scojotary of the Interior.-' .A careful exam fuatfen, how ever, will snow that tills experience is tho result of a just discrimination, and will he fir from aiTordlng encourage* meet to a reck] ess or indiscriminate extension of. principle- I commeml to your favorable.consideratlonth© men of genius of our country, who, by their inventions and-dis coveries In science and art, have contributed largely to the improvements of the age; without, in many instances, secu ring for themselves anything like an adequate reword. For many interesting details upon this subject, I refer you to appropriate reports, and especially urge upon your early attention the apparently flight, but really important modi-' fleations of existing laws therein suggested. The liberal spirit which hasso lontreharacterixcd the ac tion of Congress in relation to: the District of Columbia, will. I have no doubt, continue to be manifested. . The erection of an Asylum for the Insane of the District of Columbia, and of the Army and Navy of the United States,' has been somewhat retarded bythe great demand for main materials and labor during tho past summer, but full preparation for-tho reception -of patients before the re .turn of another winter, is anticipated, anil there is tho best reason to believe, from the plan and contemplated arrange monte which have'been'devised, with the laTgoexperience farhished-within the last foir years inrclation to the nature ,and treatment of the disease, that it will provo an. asylum indeed to this most helpless ond afllicted class of sufferers, and will stand as a noble monument of'wisdom end mercy. Under tho Acte of Congress of August 31st. 1852, and of March 3d,1853, designed to securo for tlm cities of Wash ington and Georgetown an abundant .supply of good and wholesome water, it became nr duty to examine tho report and plnns.of tho Engineer who had charge of the Burvoys under the first Act named. The best, if not tho only plan calculated to securo permanently the object Bought, was that which" contemplates the taking the water from the great.Falla of the Potomac, and consequently I give It my approval. . Fotthoprogrcss arid present condition of this important work, and for its demands, so far as appropriations are con* cerncil, I refer you to tho report of the Secretary of War. Tho present judicial system of the U. StatCß has..been in operation for so long a period of time,- and has in its general theory, and mnoh of its delays become so familiar to the conntry and acquired so entirely the public confidence, that if modified in any respeot, it shonld only be in those particulars which may adapt it to the in* creased extent of population and legal business of the TTaited States. In this relation the orga nization of tho courts is now confessedly inade quate to the duties to be performed by them, in consequence of which the statos of Florida, Wis consin, lowa, Texps end California, and districts of other states, arc in effect excluded from tho fall benefits of the general system, by the-fanc tions of the Circuit Coart being devolved on the district judges in all those States, or parts of States. Tho spirit of the Constitution nnd a doe regard to justice require that all the States of the Union shonld be placed on the sntne footing in regard to the judicial tribnnals. I therefore commend to your consideration this important subject, which, in my judgment, demands the speedy ac tion of Congress. I will present to yon, if desirable, a plan which I cm prepared to reoommend for tho en largement and modification of the present judi cial system. The net of Congress establishing the Smithsonian Institution provided that tho President of tho United States and other per sons therein designated, should constitute an institution by that name, and that the mem bers should bold stated and special meet ings for the supervision. of tho affairs of tho Institution. The organization not having taken place, it seemed to me proper that it should bo effected without delay. This bos been done and nn occasion was thereby presented for Inspect ing the condition of tho institution Rnd ascer taining its successful progress thus fnr. and its high promise of great and general usefulness. I have omitted to ask .ynnr favorable consideration for tho estimate of works of a local cbarncter in twenty-seven of tlio.thirfy-one States,amounting to one million seven hundred nnd fifty-four thou sand five hundred doilnra, because, independ ently of tho grounds which have so often been urged ngninst tho application of the federal re venue for works of this character, inequality with consequent injustice is inherent in the na ture of the proposition and because tho plan hns proved entirely inadequate to the accomplish ment of the object sought. ' The subject of internal improvements claiming nlike the interest and good will of all, hns ne vertheless been tbo basis of ranch political dis cussion, nnd hns sto-d ns n deep graven line of division hetween statesmen of eminent ability nnd patriotism. The rnic of street construction of ail powers delegated by the States to the General Government, has arrayed itself from time to time against the rapid progress of ex penditures from the national treasury on works of a local character, within ibo Btatee. Memor nblo as -an epoch in the parties of this subject is themessaro of President Jackßon of the 27th of May, 1830, which met the spirit of internal im provements in its comparative infancy, fcht eo rapid had been its growth,.that, the projected appropriations in that year for works of this character, had risen to the alarming nmonnt of more than one hnndred millions of dollars. la that message the President admitted tbo diffi culty of bringing beck the appropriations of the government to the construction of the Consti tution set up in 1708, and marked it ns an ad ministrative proof of tho necessity of guarding that instroment with sleepless vigilance ngnlnsl the authority of precedents which had not the Ejection of most plaioly defined powers. Oar Government exiets under a written contract between sovereign States, uniting for Bpccifio objects and with specific grants to their general agent. If then in tho progress of its administration there have been departure from tho terms and inlrnt of the compact, it is. and will over bo, proper to refer back to the fixed standard which our fathers left ns, and to make,a strong effort to conform our action to it. It would seem that the fact of principle, having been resisted from the first, by mnny of tho wisest and most patriotio men of tho republic, and a policy hnving proTokt-n constant strife without arriving at a conoinsion which enn he regarded na (satisfactory to its most earnest admirers, should suggest the in quiry, whether there may not bo a plan more likely to bo crowned by happier rcsnltß, without perceiving any onund distinction or evidences to assert any principle ns opposed to improvements needed for the protection of internal commerce i which does not equally npply to improvements I upon tho sea-board for tho protection o X 1 commerce; I submit to you whether it be safely anticipated that if the po ones settled against appropriations b eral Government for Local Improvemo - benefit of commcrce.tocalities requiring expendi tures would not by modes and nuonscleariy Icgi i tlmato and proper, roiso tl o fund necessary for i snoh constructions as tho surety arother interests iof their commerce may require If that cau ho i regarded asa system which, in the experience of more than thirty years has at no timo so com manded the public judgment os to give it the character of a settled policy which, though it has producod somo works of conceded import ance, has been nttended with an. expenditure quite disproportionate to their value, and has resulted in squandering largo sums upon objects which have answered no valuable purpose, tho interests of all Btatcs require it to lie abandon ed unless hopes may be indulged for the future which find no warrant in the past. ’ With an anxious desire for the completion of the works which arc regarded by all good citi zens with sincere interest, I have deemed it my duty to ask at your hands a deliberate rccon sideration oftho question, .with a hope that ani mated by a desire to promote the '.-.permanent and substantial interests of the country, your wisdom may prove equal to the task of devis ing and maturing a plan which if applied to this subject may,, promise something better than constant strife, the suspension of the powers of local enterprise, the exciting of vain hopes, end the disappointment of cherished expectations. In expending appropriations made by tlie last Congress, several cases have arisen in relation to works for the improvement of Harbors, which involves questions os to the right of local juris diction, and have threatened conflict bet ween 1 the authority of the general Governments. The right to construct a breakwater, jetty or dam would seem necessary to carry with it the power to protect and preserve such construc tions. This can only bo effectually done by having jurisdiction over the soil. But no clause in the constitution is found on which to rest the claims of tho United Slates to exercise juris diction over the soil of a State, except that con ferred by the eighth section of tho first article of the constitution. It is then submitted whe ther in all cases where constructions are to be erected by the General Government the right of soil should not be first obtained, and legislative provision be made to cover all such cases. For the progress made in the construction of roads within the appropriations of the last Congress, 1 refer you to the report of the Secretary of War. Thereis one object of a domestic mtnro wmch from Uv intense importance and the many interesting questions of fbtare policy which It Involves, cannot foil to receive your early attention. I allude to the means of communication 1 by which different parts of the witlo cxp&neo of our country' I are to be placed in closer connection for purposes, both or I defence and commercial intercourse, and moro especially such as appertain to the communication of tbore great dt visions of the Union which lie on tho opposite aide of the Rocky Mountains. That the government has not been tit*, mindful heretoftro, Is apparent from tbo aid it has afforded through appropriations ftr mall facilities and other purpo ses, bnt the subject will soon present itself undor-unccts mompunly national by reason of the surveys ordered by Opngmefc a&dnow in the process of completion for ooramo nteUoa Vy EsUiraj* «roa the copUncni, and wholly within thelimitsof the United States, ■ The power to declare war, to raise and suppox t armies, to -provide and maintain a navy, and to call fin th the military to execute the laws; suppress Insurrections and repel inva filons, was conferred upon Congress, as a turans to provide ; fbr the epmmojj defence, andto protect a tenitery&ada t population far WtdWpr&dand Taitiy multiplied. jfv * *-' *. •» r -J*-*j*-•«£?<»»•»- -<J- ~ * »• "'-'.'r.-J'^.f r - “* r-.-~.

The heavy expense ■the great delay, anil at times fatality attending travel 1# oilhcr of the Xrihm us routes, have demonstrated the Advan tage which would result from international communication "by .such safe and rapid means as a railroad would supply. These difficulties which have been encountered in n period of peace, would be magnified and still farther increased in time of war, but while the embarrassment already cnconntercd, and others under new contingencies to be anticipated, may serve strikingly to exhibit the Importance of snch a work, neither these, nor all considera tions combined, can have an appreciable value when weighed against the obligations strictly to adhere to the constitution, and faithfully to ax-- eoate the powers it confers. Within ibis limit, and to the extent of the interest of the Government involved, it would seem both ex pedient and proper if an economical and practica ble route shall be found to aid by all constitution al means in the construction of a road which will unite by speedy transit the populations of the Pacific and Atinntio States.’ To guard against misconception, it shonb! bo rotmrkwl that although the power to construct or old in the construc tion of a ro ?uV within the limits of a toriitarvyls nottunbor rnwed by that question of jiulfdlctJon wbidi . would nriy* ■withlntna limits of A State, Is nevertheless bell to be of doubtful power, and more than doubtful propriety, oven within tho limits of a territory* for the general government to nndertako toadminlstei the affaire of arallroail or canal, or other similar, construct inn, and therefore that its connec tion with a work of this character should he incidental, rather than primary. I will only rtdd, at present, that fully appreci atiDg the magnitude of the subject, and solicit ous that the Atlantic .nnd Pacific shores of the republic may be bound together by inseparable ties of common interest, ns well as of common fealty and attachment to the Union, I shall be disposed, ns far ns my own action is concerned, to follow the lights of the constitution as ex pounded nnd illustrated by those whose opinions and expositions constitute the standard of my political faith. In regard to the powers of the federal government, it is, I trust, not. necessary ■ to say that no grandeur of enterprise and no present:urgent inducement promising popular favor, will lead me to disregard these lights or to depart from that path which experience has -proved to bo safe, nnd wbich is now radiant with the glow of prosperity nnd legitimate conßlitn tionnl progress. We can afford to wait, bat we cannot afford to overlook the nrk of onr security. It is no part of my purpose to give prominence to any subject which may properly bo regarded ns set at rest by the deliberate judgment ■of the people. But while the. present is bright with promise, and the fnlnre foil of demand and indneemont for the exercise of active intelligence, the past can never be without useful lessons of admonition and instruction. If its dangers serve not ns beaconff, they will evidently fail to fulfil tho object of a wise de sign. .When the grave shall have .closed over all who are now endeavoring to meet the obligations of duty, tho year 1850 will be recurred loos , a period filled with noxious apprehension. A successful war had just terminated. Peace brought with it a vast augmentation of territory. Disturbing questions arose, bearing upon the domestic institutions of one portion of the con federacy, and involving tho constitutional rights of the States, but notwithstanding difference of opinion and sentiment, which" then existed in re lation to details nnd specific provisions, the ne quicsenco of distinguished citiaens whose devo tion to the Union can never he doubled has given renewed vigor to our Institutions nnd restored a sense of repose and security to the public mind throughout the Confederacy. That this repose is to suffer no shock during my official term, if I have the power to avert i», those who have placed me here may be assured. Tho wisdom of the men who knew what inde pendence cost, who had put nil at stako upon the issue qf the revolutionary straggle, disposed of the subject to which I refer in the only way consist ent with the Union of theso States, and with the march of power and prosperity which has made us what we are. It is a significant fact that- from the adoption of the constitution, until the officers and soldiers of the KcvoUuion lm<J passed to their graves, or through the infirmities of ape. and wounds, had ceased to participnts i actively in public affairs, there was not mrrelya quiet acquiescence, hut a prompt vindication of the constitutional rights of the States. The reserved vights Were scrupu lously respected No Statesman put forth the narrow doctrine ofcausists to justify interference and agitation, bnt the spirit of the compact was regarded as sacred in the eye of honor, and in dispensable for the great experiment of oivil liberty, though environed hy inherent difficulties; was yet home forth in; apparent weakness by a power superior to nil obstacles. There is no condemnation in which the voice of the people trill not pronounce upon us. should we prove faithless to this great trust White men inhabiting different purls of this vast continent can no mare be expccied to hold the snmo opinions or entertain the same sentiments, than every variety of soil or climate can he expected to furnish the samo agricultural products; they can unitp to a. common object and sustain common principles essential to the maintenance of that object. . Tho gallant men of the south nnd the north couldsland together during tho strug gle of the revolution. Th-y could stand together in tho more trying period which succeeded the clangor of arms. As their united valor was adequate to nil the trials of the cams and dangers of tho field, so their united wisdom proved equnl to tho greater task of founding upon a deep and broad basis, institutions which it Iras .been our privilege to enjoy, and will ever be our most sacred duty to sustain, it is but a feeble expression of a faith strong and universal; to say, that their sons, whose blood mingled so often on the same field during the war of 1812. and who have more recently borne in triumph the flow of thecountry upon a foreign soil, will ne'ver permit nlienntion of feeling to weaken the power of their united efforts, nor interiral dissentions to paralyze tho great arm of free dom uplifted for tho vindication of self-gov ernment. . I have thus briefly presented snch sug gestions a 3 seem to me especially worthy of your consideration. Tn providing for the •present, you can hardly fail to avail your selves of the light which lira experience of the past easts upon the future. The growth of our population has now brought us in the destined career of our Na tional history to a point at which it well be hooves ns to expand our vision over the vast prospective. The successive decimal returns of the census since the adoption of the constitution have revealed a law of steady progressive’ development, which may be stated in gen eral terms as a duplication every quarter oentury. Carried forward from tho point already reached for a short period of time, as applicable to tho’existenco of the nation this law of progress, if unchecked will bring us to almost incredible results. A large al lowance for a diminished proportional effect of emiOTation.would not very materially re duce the estimate, while the increased average duration of human life known to have already resulted from the scientific and hygienic improvements of the -past fifty years, will tend to keep np through tho neat fifty and perhaps a hundred, the same ratio of growth which has bean just revealed in our past progress, md to the influence of these causes may be added the influx of la boring musses from casternAsia to the Pacific side of our possessions; together with tho pro bable accession of the populations already existing ip other parts qf our hemisphere which, within the period in question, will feel with increasing force the natural at tachment ofso vast, powerful and prosper ~qT ._.- IF" '•^l ous a confederation of self governing re-, publics, and will seek the privilege of being admitted within its safe and happy bosom, transferring with themselves by a peaceful and healthy process of incorporation, spa - cious regions of virgin and exuberant soil, which' are,des»ined to Swarm- with the fast growing and fast spread ing mi 11 tons of ou r ■.race..- These considerations seem fully to justfy the presumptioi#*that the law of popula tion above stated, will continue to act with und brushed effect through at least the half century, and that thousands of persons who have already arrived nt maturity, and are now exercising the rights of freemen, will close their eyes on the speatacle of more than k one hundred millions of population embraced within the majestic proportions of the American Unipn. It is notmerelv as an interesting topic of speculation tliat l present these views for your consideration They have important practical bearings upon all the political duties wo are called upon to perform. Heretefore our system of Government has worked on what may be termed a miniature scale in comparison with the development which it must thus assume : within a future so near nt hand as l scarcely to bo beyond the present of the existing generation. It is evident that a confederation so vast and so varied, both in numbera and in territorial extent, in hab its and interests, could only be kept in na tional [cohesion by the strictest fidelity to the principles of. the Constitution, ns under stood by those who have adhered to tho most restricted constructions of the powers granted by the people and the States. In terpreted and applied according to those principles, the great compact adopts itself with healthy ease and freedom to an tin limited extension of that benign system of federative self-government of which it is our glorious, and I trust immortal charac teristic.; \ . ■ * Let us, then* with redoubled vSgilence be on our guard against yiedlng to the temptation of the exercise of doubtful row' era, even under the pressure of the motiv es °f conceded temporary advantage and aD . parent expedience. The mimimum c',{ fgj. oral Government compatible wit h tb« ma i n . tonance of National Unity and efficient nc tion in our relations with the Nest or ihn world should the of construction of our powers under the general clauses of the Constitution. A spirit of strict adherence to the sovereiffn rights and dignity of every State, rather than a disposition to subordinate the Slates in a provincial relation to the central au thorities should characterize all our oxer cise oi the respective powers, temporarily vested in us as a sacred trust, from the generous confidence of our constituents. . hi like manner, as a manifestly insepar able condition of the perpetuation of the Miiion, and of the realization of that mag nifieent national future adverted to, does ‘ho duty become yearly stronger and clear or upon us, ns citizens of the several Slices to cultivate a fraternal and affectionate spirit, language and conduct, in regard to other States, and in relation to the'varieil interests, institutions, and habits: of senti ment and opinion, which may respectively characterize them.
