GENIKIA
PRESIDENT'S . MESSAGE.
Fe/ 41 ,4.4dt.. cf the Senate
and of the Roust of Reirresen wave :
The brief , vibe Which has elapsed since the
close of your last season has been marked by no,
ex trattillimy* - The-spasirennial
election of Chief Magistretehas passed off with
teas than the usual excitement. However individ
uals and parties may have been disappointed in the
result, if resieverateless a subject ot national ece
gretulationthat-the choice has been effected by the
independent mdfesges of a free people, undisturbed
by those influences-which in other countries have
too often 'affected the pitrity of popular elections.
Our grateful thanks are ,due to an Albmereiful
Providence' , dot mil f, for atayin- the; pestilence
which in differeni fintria has desolated gime of our
cities, but for crowning the labors of the husband
man with an abundant harvest, and the nation gen
erally with the blessings re', pears and prosperity.
Within a few weeks the public mind has been
deeply affected by the death of Daniel • Webster,
filling at his decease the office of Secretary of State.
His associllet the'Executive. Government have
sincerely-sympathized with his family and the pub
lic generally on this mournful occasion. His com
manding talents, his great political and professional
eminence, his well tried patriotism, and his long
and laithtbl services, in the most imptirtant public
trusts,•have caused his death to be lamented threat
out the country, and have earned for , him a lasting
place in 'our history. '
In the course of the last summer -considerable
anxiety was caused for a short time by an official
intimation from the government of Great Britain
that orders had been given for the protection of the
fisheries upon ttre coasts of the British provinces in
North America against the alleged encroachments
of the fishing vessels of thstUnitedStsaestaad France.
The shortoess of this notice and the season of the
year seethed to snake it a matter of urgent impor
tance. 'lt was at first apprehended that an increas
ed naval` force had been ordered to the fishing
grounds to carry into effect the British interprets
lien of those-provisions in the Convention of 1818,
in reference to the true intent of which the two got ,
erements differ. It was soon discovered that such
was not the design of Great Britain, and satittfac
tory explanations of the real objects of the measure
have been given both here and in London. • •
The unadjusted difference, however, between the
two governments as to the interpretation ofthe first
article of the convention of 1818 is still a matter
of importance. American fishing vessels within
nine or ten years have been excluded from waters
to which they had free access for twenty-five years•
after the negotiation of the treaty. In 1845 this
exclusion was relaxed So tar as concerns the Bay
of Fundy, but the just and liberal intention of the
'Home government, incompliance with what we
thinkthe true construction , of the' convention, to
open all the other outer hays to our fishermen, was
abandoned, iu consequence of the opposition of the
colonies.* Notwithstanding this, the United States
• have, since the Bay of Fundy was reopened to our
fishermen in 1845, pursued the most liberal course
toward the colonial fishing interests. By the rev
enue law 0f11346, the dittimi on colonial fish enter
ing our ports were' very greatly reduced, and by
the warehousing act it is allowed to he entered in
bond without payment of duty. In this way colo
pint fish has acquired the monopoly of the export
trade in our market, and is entering to some ex
tent into the home consumption. These facts were
among those which increased the sensibility of our
fishing Interest, at the movement in question.
These circumstances end the incidents above al
luded to have led me to think the moment favora
ble for a reconsideration of the entire subject of the
fisheries on the coasts of the British Provinces,
with a view to place them upon a more liberal
footing of reciprocal privilege.. A willingness to
meet us in some arrangement of' this kind is un
derstood to exist, on the part of Great Britain, with
a desire on her part to include in one comprehen
sive settlement, as well this subject as the com
mercial intercourse between the United Suites and
the BritisPprovinces. I have '.thought that what
ever arrangements may be made on these two sub
jects, it-is expedient that they should be embraced
in separate conventions. The illness and deatn
.of the late Secretary of State prevented the con.
mencement of the contemplated negotiation. Pains
have been taken to collect the information required
for the details of such an arrangement. ..The sub
ject is attended with considerable difficulty; If it is
found practicable to come to an agreement mutual
ly acceptable to the two parties, conventions may be
concludes' , in tic: course of the present winter.—
The mould of Congress over all the provisions of
such an arrangement, affecting the revenue, wilt of
course be reserved.
, The affairs of Cuba 'formed a prominent topic in
my, fact annual. message. They, remain in an tin.
easy condition, and a feeling of alarm and irritation,
od the part of the Cubea authorities appears to ex
ist. This keling has interfered, with the regular
commercial intercourse .between the United States
and the island, and led to some acts of which we
have aright to complain.; Bin the Captain-Gener
al of Cuba is cliched with no power to treat with
foreign governments, nor is he in any degree under
the control of tbe Spanish Minister at Washington.
Any communication Which he may-bold with an
agent of a foreign power is informal and matter of
courtesy. Anxious to put an end to the existing al
conveniences, (which seemed to rest on a miscoti,
ception,) 1 directed the newly-appointati
to Mexico to visit Havana, on his way'to Vera
Cruz., He was respectfully received by the Cap
tain eneral, who eourerred with him freely on the
recent occurrences; hut no permanent-arrangement
Was effected.
• ,In the mean time, the refusal of the Captain-Gen
eral to allow passengers and the mail to be landed
in certain cases, for a reason which does not fun
ish in the opinion of this Government even a good
presumptive ground for such a prohibition, has been
made the subject of a serious remonstrance at Ma
dnd ; and I have no reasion to doubt that due re
spect will be paid by the government of Her Cath
olic Majesity to the representations which our Min
ister has been instructed to make on the subject.
It is but justice to. the Captain General to add,
that 'his conduct towards the steamerrem_ployed
to carry the mails of the United Stateh to Havana
has, with the exceptions above alluded to; been
marked with kindness anc. liberality, and indicates
no general purpose of -interfering with the com
mercial correspondence and intercourse between
the island and tins country.
Early in the presentyear official notes were re
ceived from ihelqinisters of France and England,
inviting the Government of the United States to
become. a party with Great Britain. and France to
a tripartite Convention, in virtue of which- the
three powers should severally and collectively dis
claim, now 'and for the future, all intention to ob
tain possession of the Island et Cull, and should
bind themselves to discountenance all attempts to
that effect on the partof any power or individual
whatever. This invitation has, been respectfully
declined, for reasons which it would occupy too
much space in this Communication to state in de
tail; but which led me to think that the proposed
measure would be of doubtful constitutionality, im
politic, and unavailing. t I have, however, in com
mon with several of my. predecease ,rs directed the
Ministers of France and England to be assured that
the United States entertain no designs against Cu
ba ; but that, on the contrary, I should regard its
incorporation into the Union at the present time as
fraught with - serious peril.
Were this island comparatively destitute of in
habitants, ortupied by a kindred race, I should
regard it, if t- untanlY ceded by Spike, as a most
desirable actin . • ion. , But, Wider existinguiream
stances, I shouldlciok upon its irprporation into
our Union as a very liktardonsmerjsure. It would
'bring into the Confederacy a population of a differ
ent national stock, speaking a different language,
and not likely tb harmonize with the other mem
bers. It would probably affect in'a prejudicial man
neustie industrial interests of the South ; and it
miiht revive those conflicts of opinion between the
different sections bf the 'country. which lately shook
the Union to its centre, and which have been so
happily compromised. .
The rejection by the Mexican Congress' of the
Convention which had been concluded between
that Republic and the United States, for the protec—
tion of "transit way across the Isthmus of Tehuan
tepec.- and of the interests of those citizens of the
'United States who had become • proprietors of the
rights 'which Mexico had conferred on one of her
own citizens in regard to that transit; has thrown a
serious_obstacle the way of the attainment of a
very tieltirable national object. '1 nut still willing to
hope that the differences on the subject which ex
ist, or may hereafter , arise between 'the govern
meets, will be` amicably - adjusted. This subjeci,
I heinever, has already engaged the • attentiod of the
Senate of the United. States; and requires no anther
comment in this coinumicatioa. ,
The settlement of the question respecting the
port of San Joan de Nicaragua, and of the, contro
versy between the republics of Costa Rica and
cams& in iegard to their boundaries, was consid
ered indispensable to the commencement 'of the
ship canal between the-two oceans, Which was the
subject of the convention between the Uniteo States
,and Great Britain nt the 19th of April, 1850. AC
'ct=ly a proposition for the same purposes sa
ar to the two governmentkin thin ellanev. and
to the Mo4qi. rito Indians, was agreed to in April
last by the Secretary of State and the Minister ef
her Britannic Majesty.• Besides the wish to aid
in reconciling the differenees of the two . republics,
I engaged is the negotiation from a desists , to place
the great srork of a atiip canal. between the two
airlines under one jurisdiction, and. to establish the
important port of San Juan de Nicaragua wider the
government ora civilized power.. ,The proposition
In question Wei, assented to, by . Costa Rica and the

this purpose' to the.. United States, that we might

compliance with this invitation; oar Minister at
Rio Janeiro and our Charge d'Affaires at Buenos
Ayres have berm fully authorized to conclude trea
ties with the, newly-organised Confederation, or
the States composing it. The •delays'which have
taken place in ;be formation of the new govern

these van co ries will, be eventually - opened to

A treaty of amerce his been concluded be

hitherto been &Most wholly excluded.

Minister here by, an arrangement which is believed
to be advantageous to the parties in interest.
Our settlements °tithe shores of the Pacific have
already given a Weir extension, and its some les-,
pees a new, direction, to our commerce in that
ocean. A direct and rapidly-increasing intercourse
has sprung up with Eastern Asia. T waters of
the Northern - Pacific, even into the Arcti teishave
of late years been frequented by our whale en.—
The application of steam to the general purposes
of navigation is weoming daily more common, and
makes.. it desirable to obtain fuel and other necessa
ry supplies at convenient points on the route be
tween Asia andour Pacific shores. Our uafonti
date countrymen who front time to time stiffer
shipwreck on the coasts of the eastern seas are en
titled to protection. Besides these specific objects,
the general prosperity of our States on she Pacific
requires that an, attempt should be made to open
the opposite regions of Asia to a mutually benefi
cial intercourse.l It is obvious that this attempt
could be made vno power to so great advantage /
as by the Unit ed States, whose constitutional sys
tem excludes evry idea of distant colonial &Ten.
dencies. I hay accordingly been leito order an
appropriate naval force to Japan, under the coin
maul of a discreet and intelligent officer of the
highest rank known to our service. He is laetrile
ted to endeavor i i to obtain from the government of
that country soi e relaxatiim of the inhospitable
and anti-social system which it has pursued for
about two centucies. 'He has been directed par
ticularly to remonstrate in the strongett, language
against the cruel treatment to which our ship
wrecked marindm have often been subjected, and •
to insist that they shall be treated with humanity.
He is instructed however at-the same time to give
that governmel t the amplest assurances that the
objects of the U ited States are such and Rich ou
ly as I have indicated, and that the expedition is .
friendly and peul. Notwithstanding the jeal
ousy with whic h the governments of Eastern Asia
regard all overt from foreigners,l ern not with
out hopes of a beneficial result of the expedition.—
Should it be crowned with success, the advanta
ges will not be confined to the United States, but,
as in the case oflChina, will be equally enjoyed by
all the other maritime powers. I have much sat- '.
isfaction in stati g that in all the steps preparatory :,
to this expediti the Government of the United
t
States has been materially aided by the good ere
ces of the King of the Netherlands, the only Eu
ropean power aving any commercial relations
with been. h
In passing fro this survey of our foreign rela
tions, I invite t attention of Congress to the con
dition of that department of the Government to
which this bmniih of the public business is entrust
ed. Our interconrse with foreign powers has ot
late years greatly, increased, both in consequence
of our own groit and the introduction of many
new States
rtment State has become overburdened.
into t e family of nations. In this way
I n
the Depa
It has , by the re t establishment of the Depart
ment of the Interior. teen relieved of some portion ,
of the domestic business. If the residue of the ,
business of that t kind, such as the distribution of /
Congressional documents, the keeping, publishing
Sind oistribution of the laws of the United States, ,
"the execution ofthe copyright law, the subject of •
reprieves and pardons, and some other subjects re
lating to interior administration, 'should be trans- •
(erred from the Department of State, it would un- .
questionablybe for the benefit of the public service.
I would also s gest th at the building appropria
ted to the State, partmentis not fire proof; that
T ie
there is reason t think there are defects in its con
stmetion, and that the archives of Government in
charge of the 'Department, with the precious collec
tions of the maresseript papers of Washington, Jef
ferson, Hamiltote.hladisen and Monroe, are expos- .
ed to destruction by fire. 'A
similar remark may ,
be made of the uildings appropriated to the War I
and Navy Depa meets. , ,
The condition,of the Treasury is exhibited in the I
annual report from that Department.
' The cash receipts into the Treasury for the fiscal

in my first an Lel message to Congress f called
your attention t what seemed to me some defects
in the present ta)all, and recommended such modifi
cations' as in .my judgment were best adapted to
remedy its eviltdand promote the prosperity of the
country. Nothing has since occurred to change
my trews on lb ii important mlestion.
Without repeating the arguments contained in my
- Conner message in favor of discriminating, protec
tive duties, I deetti it my dins to tall - your atten
tion to one or tiro other considerations affecting
thissnbject. Tie first is, the effect of large impor
tations of foreign goods upon our currency. Most
ofthegold of Cliforma, as fast as it is coined, finds
I
its way directly to Europe in payment for goods
purchased. in he second'place, as our Maflaile-'

For fullind detailed information in regard tethet... :,;
general condition of our Indian affairs, I respectful:,
ly refer you to the report of the Secretary Of,
Interior and the accompanying documents. .
The Senate not having thought proper to ratify. , .
the treaties; which had been negotiated witlt.tbet.,:: F
tribes of Indians in California and Oregon, our,relfis
tiona with them have been left ma very unsaUsfitc•;
tory condition. . .
In other parts of our territory particular districts....„
of our country have been set apart for the exclusive,
occupation of the Indians, and their right to *A.,.
lands within these limits has been acknowledged
and respected. But in California and Oregon there
has been no recognition by the Government of the „
exclusive right of the Indians to any part oldie , •
country. They are therefore mere tenants at stirs
femme, and liable to be driven from place to place,, „
at the pleasure et the whites.
The treaties which have been rejected proposed...,
to remedy ;this evil by, allotting to the different
tribes
districts of cdtuery suitable to their habits of ,
life, sad sufficient for their support.' This pewit- •
sion, more than 'any other, it is believed, led to ,
their rejection; and as no substitute for it has seen
adopted by Congress, it has not been deemed iadvi;
sable to attempt to enter into new treaties of eyer
maneut character,althoug,h no effort has been awed
by temporary arrangements to preserve friendly re
lations with them.
it it be the desire of Congress to remove them
front the country altogether, or to assign. to them
particular districts more remote from the• settle- •
meals oldie whites, it will be proper to set apart -
by law the territory which they are to occupy, and
to provide he means necessary for removing them
to it. Just* alike to our own citizens and to the
Indians requires the prompt action of Congress on
this subject:
The amendments proposed by the Senate, to the
treaties which were-negotiated with the Sioux In
dians of Minnesota, have been submitted to the
tribes who were parties to them, and have received
their assent: A large tract of valuablelerritory has
thus been'opened for settlement and cultlvetion. and
all danger of collision with these powerful and war
like bands has been happily removed. •
The rem:teal of the remnant of the tribe of Semi
nole Indians from Florida has long beep a eherithed
object of the Government, and it .is one, to which
my attention has been steadily directid. Admon
ished by past experience of the difficulty and cost
of the attempt to remove them by military force,
resort has been had to conciliatory , measures: By
the invitation of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
several of the principal chiefs recently visited Wash
ington, and ;whilst here acknowledged in writing
the obligation of their tribe to remove with the least
possible delay. Late advices from the special agent
of the Government represent that they,. adhere to
their promise, and that a council of their people
has been called to make their preliminary arrange
ments. A general emigration may therefore be
confidently expected a, an early day. .
The report from the General Land Office shown
increased activity in its operations. The survey
of the northern boundary of lowa has been comple

Much the larger portiori of the e labor of arranging
and classifying .the returns of the last census has
been finished, and it will now devolve upon Con
gress to make the necessary provisions for the pub.
lication of the results in such form as shall bedeem
ed best. The apportionment of .representation, on
the basis of the new census, hni'been.made by the
Secretary of the Interior in conformity with the
provisions of law relating to t h at subject, and the
recent elections' have been made `in accordance
with it.
I commend to youriavomble regard the sugges
tion contained in the repart"of the Secretary of the
Interior that provision be made by law for the pub
lication and distribution, periodically, of en analy
tical digest of all the patents which have been, or
may hereafter be, granted for useful inventions and
discoveries, with such descriptions and illustrations
as may be o to present an intelligible :view
of their nature an operation. The cosi of such
publication could easily be defrayed out of the pa
tent fund, and I not persuaded that it could be ap
plied to no object morel acceptable to inventors and
beneficial to the publie, at large-
An appropriation of $lOO,OOO havlng been made
at the last session for the purchase of a suitable
site, and for the erection, furnishing, and fitting Up
of en Asylum for the Insane of the District of C'ol
umbia, and of the Army and Navy of the United
States. the proper measures have been adopted to
carry this beneficent purpose into effect.. -
By the latest advises from the Mexican Bounda
ry Commission it appears that the survey of the.
river Gila, from its confluence with the Colorado to
its supposed intersection with the western lino of
New Mexico, has been completed_ The survey of
the Rio Grande has also been finished from the
point agreed on •by the Cominissloners as- " the
point where it strikes the southern boundary'of
New Mexico" to a point one hundred and thirty
five miles , below Eagle Pass, which is about two
thirds of the distance along the course 01 the river
'to its mouth.
The appropriation which Was made at the last.
session of Congress for the continuation of the sur
vey is subject to the following proviso : •
" Provided, That noloart of this appropriation
shall be teed or expended until it shall be m-.de sa- -
tisfactorily to appear to the President of the United.
States 'het; the southern boundary of Neer Mexico
is not established by the Commissioner add surrey.
or of the United States farther north of the town.
called Paso' than the same is laid down in Maur
nell's map, which is added to the treaty." •
My attention was drawn to this subject by -a re.
port from the Department of the Interior, which
reviewed all thefacts of the case, and submitted for •
my declaim' the question whether. under existing .
circurnstruicee, any parrof the appropriation could
be lawfully used or expended for the further prose.' •

of the subject,Teame to the conclordon that hooted

Orders were immediately Imued by him le the com
missioner and surveyor to make no further requisi
tions on the Department, as they could not be paid ;
and to discontinue all operatinns - on the southern
line of New Mexico, But milts: Department had
no exact information as to the amount of proyialette

the river, vruh information that the fends subject to
his control ;were exhausted, and that the officens
and others employed in the service were destitute

The object of the proviso was dinibtleas to-anest

New Alcamo, in to whisk differeat opinions

that there d be any objection to that part of the

to forbid the:n..‘e of anyone of the money. for the
