1 have omitted to ask your favorable
consideration for the estimates of works
of a local character in twenty-seven of!
the thirty-one States, amounting to one
million seven hundred and fifty-four!
thousand five hundred dollars, because, '
independently of the grounds which have
soLotteu .been urged against the applica
tion of the federal revenue for works of
this character, inequality with consequent
injustice is inherent in the nature of the
proposition, and because the plan has
(proved entirely inadequate to the accom
plishment of the objeets sought.
The subject of internal improvements,
claiming alike the iuterest aud good will
of all, has, nevertheless, been the basis
of much political discussion, and has
stood as. a deep graven lino of division
between statesmen of eminent ability and
patriotism. The rule of strict construc
tion of ail powers delegated by the States
to the general government has arrayed
itself, from time to time, against the rap
id progress of expenditures from the na
tional treasury on works of a local char
acter within the States. Memorable as
an epoch in the history of this subject it
the message of President Jackson, of the
27th of May, 1330, which met the system
of internal improvements in its compara
tive infancy: but so rapid had been its
gr.o.wth, that the projected appropriations
in that year lor works of this character
had risen to the alarming amount of more
than one hundred millions of dollars.
In that- message the President admit
ted the difficulty of bringing back the
operations of the government to the con
struction of the constitution set up in 1798,
iiud marked it as an admonitory proof
-of the necessity of guarding that instru
ment with 'sleepless vigilauce against the
authority of precedents, which had not
the sanction of its most plainly defined
power's
pur government exists under a written
compact between sovereigu States, unit-
mg&for specific objects, and . with specific
.grants to their general agent. JLf then in
the progress of its administration there
have been dephrtu res from the terms and"
luientof the compact, it is,and will ever be,
jroper to refer hack to the fixed standard
which our fathers left us, and to make a
Urn effort to conform our action to it.
It would seem that the fact of a princi
ple having been resisted from the first
by ,manv of the wisest and most patriotic
men ofjhe. republic, and a policy having
-provoked constant strife, without arriving
at a conclusion which can be regarded as
satisfactory to its most earnest advocates,
fchonkl suggest the inquiry whether there
may not be a plau likely to be crowned
Tjy happier results. Without perceiving
::nry sound distinction, or intending to as
sert any principle as opposed to improve
ments needed for the protection of in
ternal commerce, which does not cquallj-
apply to improvements upon the seaboard
for the protection of foreign commerce, I
asubmit to you, whether it may not be
safely anticipated that, if the policy were
once settled against appropriations by the
.ge.neral government for local improve
ments for the benefit of commerce, local
ities requiring expenditures would not,by
modes aud means clearly legitimate and
proper, raise the fund necessary for such
trflfurtructions ae the safety or other in
terests of their commerce might require.
If that can be regarded as a system,which
mi the experience of more than thirty years,
'has at no time so commanded the public
judgment us to give it the character of a
settled policy, which, though it has prq
ducctisome works of conceded importance,
lias been attended with an expenditure
quite disproportionate to their value,
.ana" has resulted in squandering large
isums upon objects which have answered
zio valuable purpose, the interests of all
-the States require it be abandoned, un
less hopes may be indulged for the future
which -find no warrant in the past.
With an anxious desire for the com
pletion of the works which are regarded
by all good citizens with sincere interest,
1 have deemed it my duty to ask at your
bandx a deliberate consideration of the
jquastion, with a hope that, animated by a
dsnre to promote the permanent and sub
stantial interests of the country, your
mtidow may prove equal to the tasi; of
3yjing and maturiug a plan, which,ap
pl&d to this subject, may promise some
thj&g b titer than constant strife, the sus
pension of the powers of local enterprise,
tfcfextmiftg of vain hopes, and the dis
&0fflkmBb of cherished expectation.
"n fexpendiug the appropriations made
bfilie last Congress, several cases have
aqjtn fn relation to works for the iin
pgprcihieni of harbors, wliich involve
qujjpii as to-ihe right of soil and juris
ciptfj&U aud have threatened conflict be
two itfee authority of the State and gen
eral governments. The right to construct
a fak water, jet(y, or dam, would seem,
necessarily, to carry with it the power to
pijokot and preserve such constructions.
Tins' can only be effectually done by
haffgjmsdiction over the soil. But no
roluift, 4?f he constitution is found, on
which to rest the claim of the United
SttHfe't exorcise jurisdiction over the
soii of a State, except that conferjod-by
the 8th section of the first article of the
constitution. Itisythen, submitted,wheth
ef, in allcases where constructions are to;
be erected by the general government, the
right of soil should not first be obtained,
and legislative provision be made to
cover all such cases. ,
For the progress made in the con
struction of roads with the territories, asl
provided xor m the appropriations of the
last Congress, I refer you to the report of
the Secretary of war.
TJipre is one subject of a domestic na
turcwhicb, from its intrinsic importance
and the many interesting questions of fu
ture policy which it involves, cannot fail
to receive your early attention. I allude
to the means of communication, by'which
different parts of the wide expanse of our
country are to 4be placed, in closer con?
nex'ipu for purposes both of defence and
commercial intercourse and more especi
ally such as appertain to (lie communica
tion of those greaiviionlFllKcJuion,
which lie on tlfo opposite sides ofcthe
liocKV iuouniaina. d
' That the government has, not been un
mindful of this heretofore, is apparent
from the aid it has afforded, through ap
propriations for mail facilities and other
purposes. But the general subject will
now present itself under aspects more im
posing and more purely national, by rea
son of the surveys ordered by congress,
aud now in the process of completion, for
communication by railway across the con
tinent, and wholly uithiu the limits of the
United States.
The power to declare war, to raise and
Support armies, to provide and maintain
a navy, and to call tor the militia to exe
cute the laws, suppress insurrections, and
repel invasions, was conferred upon Con
gress, as moans to provide for the com
mon defence, arid to protect a territory
and a population now widespread and
vastly multiplied. As incidental to and
indispensable for the exercise of this pow
er, it mu?t sometimes be necessary to
construct military roads and protect har
bors of refuge. To appropriations by
Congress for such objects, no sound ob
jeetion can be raised. Happily for our
country, its peaceful policy aud rapidly
increasing population impose upon us no
urgent necessity for preparation, and
leave but few trackless deserts between
assailable poiuts, aud a patriotic people
ver ready and generally able to protect
them. These necessary links the enter
prise and energy of our people are stead
ily and boldly struggling to supply. All
experience affirms that wherever private
enterprise will avail, it is most wise for
the general government to leave to that
and individual watchfulness the loca
tion and execution of all means of com
munication.
The surveys before alluded to were de
signed to ascertain the most practicable
nnd economical route for a. railroad from
the river Mississippi to the Pacific ocean
Parties are now in the field making ex
plorations, where previous examinations
had not supplied sufficient data, and
where there was the best reason to hope
the obiect soucrht miirht be found. The
v j t --
moans and time being both limited, it is
not to be expected that all the accurate
knowledge desired v. ill be obtained, but
it is hoped that much and important
information will be added to the stock
previously possessed, and that partial,
if not full reports of the surveys or
dered will be received, in time for trans
mission to the two Houses of Congress,
on or before the first Monday in Februa
ry next, us required by the act of appro
priation. The magnitude of the enter
prise contemplated has aroused, and will
doubtless continue to excite, a very gener
al iuterest throughout the country. In
its political, its commercial, and its mili
tary bearings, it has varied, great, and
increasing claims to consideration. The
heavy expense, the great delay, and, at
times, fatality attending travel by either
of the isthmus routes, have demonstrated
the advantage which would result from
in tor territorial communication by such
safe and rapid means as a railroad would
supply.
These difficulties, which have beeu en
countered in a period of peace, would be
magnified and still further increased in
time of war. But whilst the embarrass
ments already encountered, and others
under new contingencies to be anticipated
may serve strikingly to exhibit the ini
portance of such a work, neither these,
uor all considerations combined, can have
an appreciable value.when weighed against
the obligation stncly to adhere to the con
stitution, and faithfully to execute the
powers it confers. Avithin this limit and
to the extent of the interest of the gov
ernment involved, it would seem both ex
pedient and proper, if an economical and
practicable route shall be found, to aid,
by all constitutional means, in the con
struction of a road, which will unite, by
speedy transit, the populations of the Pa
cific and Atlantic States. To
gainst misconception, it should be remark
ed that, although the power to construct,
or aid in the construction of, a road with
in the limits of the territory is not embar
rassed by that question of jurisdiction
which would arise- within the limits of a
State, it is nevertheless held to be of
doubtful nower, and more than doubtful
propriety, even within the limits of a ter
ritory, for the general government to un
dertake to administer the affairs of a rail
road, canal, or other similar construction,
and therefore that its connexion with a
work of this character should be inciden
tal rather than primary. I will only add
at present, that, fully appreciating the
magnitude of the subject, and solicita
tions that the Atlantic and Pacific shores
of the republic may be bound together by
inseparable ties of common interest, as
well as of common fealty and attachment
to the Union, I shall be disposed, so far
as my action is concerned, to follow the
lights of the constitution, as expou tided
and illustrated by those, whose opinion?
and expositions constitute the standard
of my political faith in regard to the pow
ers of the government. It is, I trust, not
necessary to say, that no grandeur of en
terprise, and no presenturgentinducemcnt
promising popular favor, will lead me to
disregard those lights, or to depart from
that path, which experiqice has proved
to be safe, aud which is now radieut with
the glow of prosperity and legitimate con
stitutional progress. We can afford to
wait, but we cannot afford to overlook the
ark of our security.
It is no part of my purpose to give pro
minence to any subject, which may prop
erly be regarded asset at rest by the de
liberate judgment of the people. But
while the present is bright with promise,
aud the future full of demand and in
ducement for the exercise of active intel
ligence, the past can never be without
useful lessons of admonition and instruc
tion. If its dangers serve not as beacons
they will cveidently fail to fulfil the object
of a wise design. When the graye shall
havp closed over all, wjio are now en
deavoring to "meet the obligations of duty,
the year 185?) will bejecurred to as a pe
riod filled wiOi anxious apprehension. A ;
successful war-had just terminated. Peace
broht with it a vast augmentation of
territory. J Disurbing questions arose,
Bearing lipon the domestic institutions of
onVpoftwn of the. confederacy, and in
volving the constitutional rigths ot the
States. But, not withstanding ainorences
of opinion- and sentiment, which then ex
isted in relation to details and specific
provissions, theacquiesence of distinguish
ed citizens, whose devotion to the uni
on can never be doubted, has given re
newed vigor to our institutions, and re
stored a sense of repose and security to
the public mind throughout the confed
eracy. That this repose is to suffer no
shock during my official term, if I have
power to avert it, those who placed me
here mav be assured. Tho wisdom of
men, who knew what independence cost
who had put all at stake upon the issue
of the llevolutiouary struggle disposed of
the subject to which I refer, m the only way
consistent with the union ot tliese atates,
and with the march of power and pros
perity which has made us what we are.
It is a significant fact, that from the a
doption of the Constitution until the offi
cers and soldiers of the Revolution had
passed to their graves, or, through the in
firmities of age and wounds, had ceased
to participate activly in public affairs,
there was not merely a quiet acquiesence
in, but a prompt vindication of, the con
stitutional rights of the States. The tc
served powers were scrupulously respect
ed. No statesman put forth the-narrow
views of casuists to justify interference
and agitation, but the spirit of compact
was regarded as sacred in the eye of hon
or, and indispensable for tho great ex
periment of civil liberty, which, environed
with inherent difficulties, was yet borne
forward in apparent weakness by a pow
er superior to all obstacles. There is no
condemnation whicli the voice of Free
dom will not pronounce upon us should
we prove faithless to this great trust.
While men inhabiting different parts of
this great continent can no more be ex
pected to hold the same opinions, or en
tertain the same sentiments, than every
variety of climate or soil can be expected
to furnish the same agricultural products
they cau unite in a common object and
sustain common principles essential to
the maintenance ot thfft object. I he gal
lant men of the South and the North
could stand together during the struggle
of the Revolution; could stand together
in the more trying period which succee
ded the clangor of arms. As their uni
ted valor was adequate to all the trials
of the camp and dangers ot the field, so
their united wisdom proved equal to the
greater task of founding, upon a deep and
broad basis, institutions, which it has been
our privilege to enjoy, and will ever be
our most sacred duty to sustain. It is
but the feeble expression of a faith-strong
and universal, to say that their sons,
whose blood mingled so often upon the
same field , during the war of 1812, and
who have more recently borne in triumph
the flag of the country upon a foreign soil
will never permit alienation of feeling to
weaken the power of their united efforts,
nor internal dissentions to paralyze the
vindication of self government.
I have thus briefly presented such sug
gestions as seem to me especially worthy
of your consideration. In providing for
the present, you can hardly fail to avail
yourselves of the light, which the experi
ence of the past casts upon the future.
The growth of our population has now
brought us, in the destined career of our
national history, to a point at which it
well behooves us to expand our vision o
ver the vast prospective.
. The successive decennial returns of the
census since the adoption of the constitu
tion have revealed a law of steady pro
grcssive development, which may be sta
ted, in general terms, as a duplication ev
ery quarter-century. Carried forward,
from the point alreacy reached, for only
a short period of time as applicable to the
existence of a nation, this law of progress,
if unchecked, will bring us to almost in
credible results. A large allowance for
a diminished proportional effect of emi
gration would not very materially reduce
the estimate, while the increased average
duration of human life, known to have al
ready resulted from the scientific and by
gienic improvements of the past fifty years
will tend to keep up through the next
fifty, or perhaps hundred, the same ratio
of growth which has been thus revealed
in our progress; and to the influence of
these causes may bo added the influx of
laboring masses from eastern Asia to the
Pacific side of our possessions, togcthor
with the probable accession or the popu
lations already existing in other parts of
our hemisphere, which, within the period
in question, will feel, with nearly increas
ing force, the natural attraction of so vast
powerful and prosperous a confederation
of self governing republics, and seek the
privilege of being admitted within its safe
and happy bosom, transfering with them
selves, by a peaceful and healthy process
of incorporation, spacious regions of vir
gin and exhuberant soil, which are des
tined to swaruiwith the fast growing and
fast-spreading millions of our race.
These considerations seem fully to jus
tify the presumption, that the law of pop
ulation above stated, will continue to act
with undiminished effect, through at least
the next half century; and that thousands
of persons who have already arrived at
maturity, aud are now exercising the
rights of freemen, will close their eyes on
the spectacle of more than one hundred
millions of population embraced within
the majestic proportions of the American
Union. It is not merely aS an interest
ing topic of speculation that I present these
views for pour consideration, They have
important practical bearings upon all the
political duties we are called upon to per
form. Heretofore, our system of govern
ment ha8 worked on what may be termed
a minature scale, in comparison with the
development, which it must assume, with
in a future so near at hand, as scarcely,
to be beyond the present or the existing
rrnnornf ?'nn
Itis evident that a confederation so
vast and sb,yarfed, both in numbers and
in territorial extent, in habits:aud'in in-
terests.could only-he kept in natibnl,co-
Hesion by the strictest fidelity to the.prin
oiplcs of the constitution, as understood
by those who haye adhered to tho most re-
tnoted construction ot the powers grant
ed by the people and the States. It in
terpreted and applied accoramg to tuose
principlus, the great compact adapts it
self With healthy ease, and freedom to an
unnmitea extension oi mac uumgu Byo
tem of federative self-government, of
which it is our glorius and, I trust, im
mortal charter. Let us, then, with re
doubled vigilcnce, be on our guard against
yielding to the temptation of the exercise
of doubtful powers, even under the press
ure of the motive of conceded temporary
advantage and apparent temporary expe
diency.
The minimum ot federal uovernment
compatible with the maintenance of na
tional unity aud efficient action in our
relations with the rest ot the world, should
afford the rule and measure of construc
tion of our powers under the general clau
ses of the Constitution. A spirit of strict
deference to the sovereign right and dig
nity of every State, rather than a disposi
tion to subordinate the States into li pro
vincial relation to the central authority,
should characterize all our exercise of the
respective powers temporarily . vested to
us as a sacred trust from the generous
confidence of our constituents.
In like manner, as a manifestly indis
pensable condition of the perpetuation of
Union, aud of the realization ot that mag
nificient national future adverted to, does
the duty become yearly stronger and
clearer upon us, as citizeus of the several
States to cultivate a fraternal and affec
tionate spirit, language, aud conduct, in
regard to other States, and in relation to
the varied interests, institutions, and hab
its of sentiment and opinion, which may
respectfully characterize them. Mutual
forbearence, respect, and noninterference
in our personal action as citizens, and an
enlarged exercise of the most liberal
principles of county in the public dealing
of State with State, whether in .Legisla
tion or in the execution of laws, are the
means to perpetuate that confidence and
fraternity, the decay of which a mere po
litical union, on so vast a scale, could no
i
oni
survive.
In still another point of view, is an im
portant practical duty suggested by this
consideration of the magitude of dimen
sions to which our political system with
its corresponding machinery of govern
ment, is so rapidly expanding. With in
creased vigilance does it require us to
cultivate the cardinal virtues of public
frugality and official integrity and purity
Public affairs ought to be so conducted
that a settled convicted shall pervade the
entire Union, that nothing short of the
highest tone and standard of public mor
aiity marks every part of the adrainis
tration and legislation of the general gov
eminent. Thus will the federal system,
whatever expansion time and progress
raay give it, continue more and more
deeply rooted in the love and confidence
of the people.
That wise economy, which is as far re
moved from parsimony as from corrupt
and corrupting extravagance that single
regard for the public good, which will
frown upon all attempts to approach the
treasury with insidious projects of private
interest cloaked under public pretexts-
that sound fiscal administration, which,
in the legislative department, guards a
gainst the dangerous temptations inci-
dent to overflowing revenue, and, in the
executive, maintains an unsleeping watch
fulness against the tendency of all nation
al expenditure to extravagance while
jhey arc admitted elementary political
duties, nay, I trust, be deemed as prop
erly adverted to and urged, in view of
the more impressive sense of that ncces
sity, which is directly suggested by the
considerations now presented.
Since tho adjournment of Congrcss.the
Vice President of the United States has
passed from the scenes of earth, without
having entered upon the duties of the
station, to which he had been called by
the voicaof his countrymen. Having oc
cupied, almost continously, for more than
thirty years, a seat in one or the other of
tho two Houses of Congress, and having,
by Ills singular purity and wisdom, se
cured unbounded confidence and univers
al respect, his. failing health was watched
by the nation with painful solicitude.
llis loss to the country, under all the
circumstances, . has been justly regarded
as irreparable.
In compliance with tho act of Cangress
of March 2, 1853, the oath of office was
administered to him on the 24th of that
month, at Ariadne estate; near Matanzas
in the island of Cuba; but his strength
gradually declined, and was hardly suf
ficient to enable him to return to his
home, in Alabama, where, on the eigh
teenth day of April, in the most calm
and peaceful way, his long aud eminently
useful career was terminated.
Entertaining unlimited confidence in
'Our inteligent and patrioitic devotion to
the public interest, and being conscious of
no motives on my part which are not in
separable from the honor and advance
ment of my country, I hope it may be my
privilege to deserve and seoure, not only
your cordial co-eperation- in great public
measures, but also those relations of mu
tual donfidence and regard, which it is
always so desirable to cultivate between
members of co-ordinate branches of the
government.
