REMAIN-DOM ROERIS'OF OONGREES, DECEMBER
POURER, 1954., •
Fellow-citizens of the mate and of the Rouse of
Repruentatiow
The past has bOttin eventful year, ani4P
be hereafter referred to as a marked epoch in
the history of -theworld. While we have been
happily presets:affront the calanoitiee of war,our
domestic prosperity has not been entirely unin
terrupted. The crops, in portions of the coun
try, have been nearly oat off. Disease has pre
vailed to a greater extent than usual, and the
sacaifice of human life, through casualtiesthy
sea and land, is without a parallel.: But
pestilence has swept by, and restored s o lehoity
Invitee the absent to their - homes, and the return
of business to its ordinary channels. If 'the'
earth has rewarded the labor of the husbandman
less bountifully than in pretiedlifg seasons, it
has left him with abundance for.Awnestics wants,
and a large surplus for UlPariation. In the
present, therefore, as in the past, - Ire findaimple
grounds for reverent thsukfulnetts to the God of
Grace and Providence, for his protecting care
and ntercifut.dealinge with us as a people.
Although our attention has been arreatod by
painful interest in passing events, yet our court,
try feslano more than the slight vibrations of the
convulsions widen have shaken Europe. As indi
viduals, ire cannot seeress sympaty with humao
suifeishig nor regret for the causes which pro
duce it. As a nation, we are reminded that
whatever interrupts the peace or checks the
prosperity of any part of Christendom, tends,
more or lees, to involve our own. The condi
tion of States is not unlike that of individuals.
They are mutually dependent upon each other.
Amicable relation between them, and reciprocal
good will, are essential for the promotion - of
whatever is desirable in their moral, social, and
political condition. Hence it has been my ear
nest endeavor to moisten pintos and friendly in
tercourse with all nations.
The wise theory of this government, so early
adopted and steadily pursued, of avoiding all
entangling alliances, has hitherto exempted it
from many complications, in which it would
otherwise have become involved. Notwith
standing this, our clearly defined and well sus
tained course of action, and our geographical
position so remote from Europe, increasing dis
position has been manifested by some of its
governments to supervise and, in certain respects
to direct our foreign policy. In plans for ad
justing the balance of power among themselves,
they have assumed to take us into account, and
would constrain us to conform our conduct to
their views. One or another of the, powers of
Europe bas, from time to time, undertaken to
enforce arbitrary regulations, contrary, in many
respects, to established principles of interna
tional law. That law the United States have, in
their foreign interoourise, uniformly respected
and observed, and they cannot recognize any
snob interpolations therein, as the temporary
Interests of others may suggest. They do not
admit that the sovereigns of one continent, or
of a particular community of States,: can legis
late for all others.
Leaving the transatlantic nations to adjast
their political system in the way they may think
best for the common welfare, the independent
powers of too continent may well assert the
right to be exempt from all annoying interfe
rence on their part. Systematic abstinence
from intimate political connection with distant
foreign nations, does not conflict with giving the
widest range to our foreign commerce. This
distinction, so clearly marked in history, seems
to have been overlooked or ifisregarded by some
leading foreign states. Our refusal to be brought
within and subjected to their peculiar system,
has, I fear, created a jealous distrust of our eon
imot, and induced, on their part, occasional acts
of disturbing effect upon our foreign 'relations.
Our present attitude and past course give as
sorancee which should not be questioned, that
our purposes are not aggressive, nor threatening
to the safety and welfare of other nations. Our
military establishment, in time of peace, is
adapted to maintain exterior defences, and to
preserve order among the aboriginal tribes with
in the limits of toe Union. Oar naval force is
Intended only for the protection of our citizens
abroad, and of commerce diffused, as it is, over
all the seas of the globe. The government of
the United thrift being essentially pacific in pol
icy, stands prepared to repel invasion by the vol
untary service of a patriotic people, and pro
vides no permanent means of foreign aggression.
These considerations should allay all apprehea
sion, that we are disposed to encroach on the
rights, or endanger the security of other states.
Such European powers have regarded with
disquieting concern, the territorial expansion of
the United States. This rapid growth has re
sulted from the legitimate exercise of sovereign
rights, belonging alike to all nation's!, and by
many liberally exercised. Under such circum
stances, it could hardly have been expected that
those among them, which have, within a crom•
parative recent period, subdued and absorbed
ancient kingdoms, planted their standards on
every continent, and now possess, or :claim the
control of, the islands of every ocean as their
appropriate domain, would look with unfriendly
sentiments upon the 'acquisitions of this country
in every instance honorably obtained,-or would
feel themselves justified in imputing our ad
vancement to a spirit of aggression, or to a pas
sion for political predominance
Oar foreign commerce has reached a mogul
tude and extent nearly equal to that of the first
maritime power of the earth, and exceeding that
of any other. Over this great interest, in which
not only our merchants, but all classes of citi
lens, at least indirectly, are concerned, it is the
duty of the executive and legislative ,branches
of the government to exercise a careful supervi
sion, and adopt proper measures for its protec
tion. The policy which I have had in view, in
regard to this interest, embraces its. future as
well as its present security.
Long experienee has shown that, in general,
when the principal powers of Europe are enga
ged in war, the rights of neutral nations are en
dangered. This consideration led, in the prog
ress of, the war of our independence, to the for
mation of the celebrated confederacy of armed
neutrality, a primary object of which was, to
assert the doctrine, that free ships make free
goods, except in the case of articles oohtraband
in war: a doctrine. which, from the very com
mencement of our national being, has been a
cherished idea of the statesmen of this country.
At one period or another, every martime power
has, by some solemn treaty stipulation,-recog
nized that principle; and it might have:been ho
ped that it', would come to be universally
received and respected ae a rale of international
law. Bnt the refusal of one power prevented
this, and in the next great war which ensued,
that of the French revolution, it failed to be re
spected among the billigerent states of Europe.
Notwithstanding this, the principle is generally
admitted ,to be a, sound and .salutary one; so
mucteso, - that, at the commencement of the ex
isting war in Europe, Great Britain and Franoe
announced their purpose to observe it for the
present; not, however, as a reeognized interna
tional right, but as a mare concession for the
tithe being.
The co- - operation, however, of these two pow
erful martime nations in the interest of neutral
rights, appeared to me to afford an occasion, in
viting and jastifylog, on the part of the United
States; a renewed effort to make the doctrine in I
question a principle of international law by means
of special conventions between the several Pow
era of Europe and America. Accordingly, a Pro
position, embracing :pet only the rule, that free
ships make free goods, except contraband articles,
but also the lees contested one, that neutral prop
erty, other than contraband, though 'on - band
enemy's ships, shall be exempt from confiscation,
has been submitted by this government to those
of Europe and America.
Russia acted promptly in this matter, and a
convention was concluded between that country
and the United States, providing for the observ
ance of the principles announced, not only as be
tween themselves, but also as between them and
all other-nations, which shall enterinto like stipu
lations. None o f the other powers haVe as yet
taken final action on the subject. lam net aware,
however, that any objections to the proposed stip
ulations has been made; but, on the contrary,
they are acknowledged to be essetatial to the se
curity of neutral commerce; and the only appa
rent obstacle to their general adoption,is in the
possibility that it may be encumbered by inadmis
sible conditions.
The King of the two Sicilies has expressed to
our Minister at Naples his readiness to concur
in our propositions relative to neutral rights,
and to enter into a convention on that subject.
The King of Prussia entirely approves of the
project of a treaty to the same effect, submitted
to him, but proposes an additional article, pro
viding for the renunciation of privateering.
Such an article, for most obvious reasons, is
much desired by nations having naval establish
ments, large in proportion to their foreign com
merce. If it were adopted as an international
the commerce of a nation having compara
tively a small naval force, would be very much
at the moray of its enemy, in case of war with a
Power of decided naval superiority. The bare
statement of the sionditio• in which the United
States would be placed, after having surrender

could not extricate our country from thi
tqual condition, with such an enemy, ante s e
at once departed from our present peaceful p 1-
Icy, and became a great naval power. Nor

the naval disparitz - Vould be less, the greater
extentand more elposed condition of our wide
.spread-aommeree;.would give - any of them w•
like advantage over us.
• The priiposition to enter into engagements to
forego resort to private,ers, in case this country
should be forced into war with a great naval
power, is not entitled to more favorable conside r
ration than would be a proposition to agree not'
to accept the services of volunteers for operatiens
on land. When the honor or the rights of our
country require, it to assume a hostile attitude,
it Coafidently relies upon the patriotism of its
citizens, not ordinarily devoted to the military
profession, to augment the army and navy, so
as to wake them fully, adequate to the emergen
cy which calls them into notion. The proposaL
to surrender the right to employ privaleers is
professedly founded upon the principle, that pri
vate property of unoffending non-combatants,
though enemies, should be exempt from the rav
aged of_ war; abut the proposed surrender
gees but little way in carrying out that princi
ple, which equally requires that etch private
property should not biz seized or molested by na
tional ships of war. Should the leading powers
of Europe concur in proposing, as a rule of in
ternational law, to exempt private property, up
on the ocean, from seizure by public armed crui
sers, us well as by privateers, the United States
will readily meet them upon that broad ground,
Since the adjournment of Congress, the ratifi
cations of the treaty between the United States
and Great Britain, relative to coast fisheries and
to reciprocal trade with the British North Amer
ican provinces, have been exchanged, and some
of ita anticipated advantages are already enjoyed
by us: although its full execution was to abide
certain acts of legislation not yet fully perform
ed. So soon as it was ratified, Great Britain
opened to-our commerce the free navigation of
the river St. Lawrence, and to our fishermen un
molested access to the shores and bays, from
which they had been oreviously excluded, on the
coasts of her North American provinces; in re
turn for which, she asked for the introduction,
free of duty, into the ports of the United States,
of the fish caught on the same coast by British
fishermen. This being the compensation, stip
ulated in the treaty, for privileges of the highest
importance and value to the United States, which
were thus voluntarily yielded before It became
effective, the request seemed to me to be a rea
sonable one; but it could not be acceded to,
from want of authority to suspend our laws im
posing duties upon all foreign fish. In the
meantime, the Treasury Department issued a
regulation, for ascertaining the duties paid or
secured by bonds on fish caught on the coasts of
the British provinces, and brought to our mar
kets by British subjects, after the fishing
grounds had been made fully accessible to the
citizens of the United States, I recommend to
your favorable consideration& proposition, which
will be submitted to you, for authorityto !stood
the duties and cancel the bonds thus received.
The provinces of Canada and New Brunswick
have also anticipated the fall operationbf the
treaty, by legislative arrangements, respectively,
.to admit, free of duty, the products of the Uni
ted States mentioned in the free list of the trea
ty; and an arrangement, similar to that regard
ing British fish, has been made for duties now
chargeable on the products of those provinces
enumerated in the same free list, and introduced
therefrom into the United States; a proposition
for refunding which will, in my judgment, be in
like manner entitled to your favorable consider
ation.
France was the early and efficient ally of the
United States in their struggle for independence.
From that time to the present, with occasional
slight interruptions, cordial relations of friend
ship have existed between the governments and
people of the two countries. The kindly senti
ments, cherished alike by both nations, have led
to extensive social- and commercial intercourse,
which, I trust, will eot be interrupted or checked
by any casual event of an apparently unsatisfac
tory character. The French Consul at Ban Fran
cisco was, not long since, brought into the United
States District Court at that place, by compul
sory process, as a witness In favor of another
foreign consul, in violation, as the French Gov
ernment conceives, of his privileges under our
consular convention with France. There being
nothing in the transaction which could imply
any disrespect to France or its consul, such ex
planation has been made as I hope will be satis
factory. Subsequently, a misunderstanding
arose on the subject of the French government
having, as it appeared, abruptly excluded the
American minister to Spain from passing through
France, on his way from London to Madrid. ,
But that government has unequivocally disa
vowed any design to deny the right of transit to
the Minister of the United States, and, after ix- .
planation to this effect, he has resumed his
journey, and actually returned through France
to Spain. I herewith lay before Congress the
correspondence on this subject between our en
voy at Paris and the minister of foreign rela
tions of enoh government.
The position of our affairs with Spain re-
mains as at the close of your last session. In
ternal agitation, assumi2g very nearly the char.
Wee of political revolinion, has recently con
vulsed that country The late ministers were
violently expelled from power, and men of very
different views in relation to Its internal affairs
have succeeded. Slime this change, there has
been no propitious opportunity to resume and
press on negotiations for the adjustment of se
rious questions of difficulty between the Span
ish government and the United States. There
is reason to believe that our minister will find
the present government more favorably inclined
than the preceding to comply with our just de
mands, and to make suitable arrangements for
restoring harmony •and preserving peace be
tween the two countries.
Negotiations are pending with Denmark to
discontinue the practice of levying tolls on our
vessels and their cargoes passing through the
sound. I do not doubt that we can claim ex
emption therefrom, as a matter of right. It is
admitted on all hands that this exaction is
sanctioned not by the general principles of the
law of nations, but only by special conventions,
which most of the commercial nations have en
tered into with Denmark. The fifth article of
our treaty of 1826, with Denmark, provides that
there shall not be paid on the vessels of the
United States and their cargoes, when passing
through the Sound, higher duties than those of
the most favored nations. This may be regarded
as an implied agreement to submit to the tolls
during the continuance of the treaty, and con
sequently may embarrads the assertion of our
right to be released therefrom. There are also
other provisions in the treaty which ought to be
modified. It was to remain in force ten years,
and until one year after either party should
give notice to tho other of intention to terminate
it... I deem it expedient that the contemplated
notice should be given to the government of
Denmark.
The naval expedition, despatched about two
years since for the purpose of establishing rela
tions with Japan, has been ably and skillfully
conducted to a successful termination by the of
ficer to whom it was intrusted. A treaty open
ing certain of the ports of that populous country
has been negotiated, and in order to give full ef
fect thereto, it only remains to exchange ratifi
cations, and adopt requisite commercial regals,
flans.
The treaty lately concluded between the Uni
ted States and Mexico, settled some of our moat
embarrassing difficulties with that country, but
numerous claims upon it for wrongs and injuries
to our, citizens remained anajusted, and many
new cases have been recently added m the for
tes list of planeness. ' Our lap ion his been,
- . „
There is difference of opinion between the Uni
ted Stated and Great Britain, as to the boundery
line of the Territory of Washington adjoining
the British poseevAons on the Pacific, which has
already led to difficulties ou the part of the sit
revs and" local authorities of the two govern
ments. I recommended that provision be made
for a commission, to be joined by one on the
of her Britannic Majesty, for the purpose of
running and establishing the line in controversy.
Certain stipulations of the third and fouth arti
cles of the treaty concluded by the United States
and Great Britain in 1846 regarding possessory
rights of the Hudson's Bay Company, and pro
perty of the Puget'e Bound Agricultural Compa
ny, have given rise to serious disputes, and it is
important to all concerned, that summary means
of settling them amicably should be devised. I
have reason to believe, that an arrangement can
be made on just terms, for the extinguishment
of the rights in qteation, embracing, also, the
right of the Hudson's Bay Company to the nav
igation of the river Columbia; and I therefore
suggest to your consideration, the expediency of
making a contingent appropriation for that pur
pose.

wards Mexico, but other foreign nations, I have
t
exerteall the powers with which I am i nvested
to defeat such criminal proceedings,and bring to
punishment these who, by taking part therein,
1
violated our laws.
The energy and activity of our civil and mil
itanisithorlties have frustrated the designs of
those who meditated expeditious of this charac
.ter,except in two instances. One of these, com-
110803 of foreigners, was ,at first countenaneed

The other, small in number, eluded the vigilance
of the magistrates. at San Francisco, and suc
ceeded in roaching . the Mexican territories ; but
the effective measures taken by this government
compelled the abandonment of the undertaking.
The commission to establish the new line be
tween the United States and Mexico, according
to the provisions of the treaty of the 80th of
December last, has been organized, and the work
is already commenced.
Our treaties with the Argentine Confederation
and with the Republica of Uraguay and Para
guay, secure to us the free navigation of the
river La Platte, and some of its larger tributa
ries, but the same success has not attended our
endeavors to open the Amazon, The reasons in
favor of the free use of that river, I had occa
sion to present fully in a former message; and,
considering the cordial relations which have
long existed between this government and
it may be expected that pending negotiations
will, eventually, reach a favorable result.
Convenient mesas of transit, between the sever
al parts of a oountry, are not only desirable for
the objects of oommerelvl and personal communi
don, but essential to its existence under one gee
ernment. Separated as are the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts of the United States by the whole
breadth of the continent, still the inhabitants of
each are closely bound together by community of
origin and institutions, and by strong attachment
to the Union. Hence the constant and increasing
intercourse, and vast interchange of commercial
productions, between therm remote divisions of the
Republic. At the present time, the most practi
cable and only commodious routes for communi
cation between them are by the way of the Ist.h..
mai of Central America. It is the duty of the
government to secure these avenues against all
danger of interruption.
In relation to Central America, perplexing
questions existed between the U. States and Great
Britain at the time of the cession of California.
These as well as questions which subsequently
arose concerning inter-oceanic communication
across the Isthmus, were, as it was supposed, ad
jaeted by the treaty of April 19, 1850 ; but, un
fortunately, they have been re-opened by serious
misandersteuxiing as to the import of some of its
provisions, a readjustment of which is new under
eonsideration. Our minister at London made
etrenuous efforts to accomplish this desirable ob
jeot, but has not yet found it possible to bring the
negotiations to a termination.
At incidental to these questions, I deem it pro-
per to notice an occurrence which happened in
Central America near theolose of the last session
of Congress.• 8o soon an the necessity was per
ceived of establishing inter•oceanic oommunica
fions across the isthmus, a company wee organ
ised, under authority of the State of Nicaragua,
but composed,,for the most part, of citizens of
the United States, for the purpose of opening
such a transit way, by the river San Juan and
Lake Nicaragua, which soon became an eligible
and much need route in the transportation of
oar eitlseos and property qetween the Atlantic
and Pacific.
Meanwhile, and in anticipation of the comple
tion and importance of this transit way, a nom-
ber of adventurers had taken possession of the
old Spanish port at the mouth of the river San
Juan, in open defiance .of the State or States of
Central America, which, upon their becoming
Independent, had rightfully succeeded to the
local sovereignty and jurisdiction of Spain.
These adventurers undertook to change the
name of the place from San Juan del Norte to
Greytown, and, though at first pretending to act
se the subjects of the fictitious sovereign of the
Mosquito Indians, they subsequently repudiated
the control of any power whatever, assumed to
adopt a distinct political organization, and de
clared themselves an independent sovereign
state.
If, at the tame time, a faint hope was enter
tained that they might become a stable and re
spectable community, that hope soon vanished.
They proceeded to assert unfounded claims to
civil jurisdiction over Punta Arenas, a position
on the opposite side of the river San Juan, which
was In possession, under a title wholly indepen
dent of them, of citizens of the United States,
interested in the Nicaragua Transit Company,
and which was indispensably necessary to the
prosperous operation of that route across the
Isthmus. The company resisted their ground
less claims; whereupon they proceeded to des-
troy some of its hulloing', and attempted vio
lently to dispossess it.
At a later period they organised • strong
foroe for the purpose of destroying the estab
lishment at Ponta Arenas, but this mischievous
design was defeated by the interposition of one
of our ships of war, at that time in the harbor
of San Juan. Subsequently to this, in May
last, • body of men from Greytown passed over
to Punta Arenas, arrogating authority to arrest
on the charge of murder, a captain of one of
the steamboats of the Transit Company. Being
well aware that the claim to exercise jurisdic-
tion there would be resisted then, as it had been
on previous occasions, they went prepared to as
sert it by force of arms.
Our minister to Central America happened to
be present on that occasion. Believing that the
captain of the steamboat was innocent, for he
witnessed the transaction on which the charge
was founded, and believing, also, that the intru
ding party, having no jurisdiction over the place
where they proposed to make the arrest, would
encounter desperate resistance if they persisted
in their purpose, he interposed, effectually, to
prevent violence and bloodshed. The American
minis er afterwards visited Oreytown, and whilst
he was there, a mob, including certain of the so
called public functionaries of the place, cur
rounded the house in which he was, avowing
that they had come to arrest him, by order of
some person exercising the chief authority.—
While parleying with them he was wounded by
• missile from the crowd— A boat, dispatched
from the American steamer Northern Light"
to release him from the perilous situation in
which he was understood to be, was fired into
by the town guard, and compelled to return.
These incidents, together with the known cha
racter of the population of Oreytown, and their
excited state ' induced just apprehensions that
the lives and property of our citizens at Punta
Arenas would be in imminent danger after the
departure of the steamer with her passengers
for New York, unless a guard was left for their
protection. For this purpose, and in order to
ensure the safety of passengers and property
passing over the route, a temporary force was
organised, at considerable expense to the United
States, for which provision was made at the last
session of Congress.
This pretended community, a heterogenoue
assemblage gathered from various countries, and
composed, for the moot part, of blanks and per
sons of mixed blood, had previously given other
indications of mischievous and dangerous pro
pensities. Early in the same , month property
was clandestinely abstracted from the depot of
the Transit Company, and taken to Oreytown.
The plunderers obtained shelter there, and their
pursuers were driven back by its people, who not
only protected the wrong doers and shared the
plunder, but trotted with rudeness and violence
those who sought to recover their property.
Such, In substance, are the facts submitted to my consid
eration, and proved by trustworthy evidence, I could not
doubt that the case demanded the interposition of ttde gov
ernment. Judice required that reparation should be made
for so many and such gross wrongs, and that a course of in.

THAI XIIII6IIAGE.
We were disappointed in not receiving a copy
of the President's Message yesterday, as it ap
pears, notwithstanding the telegraph, a messen
ger was not despatched with it to Pittsburgh.
In eonsequenoe of this neglect we hail to wait
for it nhtil the arrival of the Philadelphia cars
of Monday night. The Message was delivered
to the Press of that city, by the Postmaster, at
2} o'clock, P. u., and was in circulation in a
very short time afterwards. Why Pittsburgh
was not equally favored we cannot's'. It would
cost very little trouble for Mr. Pierce and his
(hiblitet to hub:doe. 'se, and have been a eon.
venienotiu the puss of no small amount.
As it Is brief we bops every dne will give It a
reading, and judge for himself of its merit/
The message was received at precisely tea min
utes before three, P. 35., and the last type set up
at ten minutes before five, P.
- We will issue the Post this evening, to
g ive all our subscribers a chance of reading the
-President's Message, and as it is the all absorb
ing document, we will not distract their &Mo
tion with any other reading mattei. It is some
satisfretion to know that we beat all our contem
poraries out more than two hours ; and that too,
without having it set up in a brawling manner.
A Cozzderws occurred yesterday afternoon, on
the Pittsburgh •ad Cleveland Zinn*, near &
Hance, between the Express train and - a fee* ht
or contraction train, by which Mr. Seymour, the
conductor of the Pi:press, and another person,
were budastly-itilled.
