Reference ia alsol undo in the report to the ueccssity of providing for a uniform militia system, and to the propriety of making suitable provision for wouuded and disabled of ficers and soldiers. The revenue system of the country is a subject of vital iuterest to its honor and prosperity and should cointnaud the earn est consideration of Congress. The Se crctury of the Treasury will lay before you a full and detailed report of the receipts and disbursements uf the last lical year, f the first quarter of the present fiscal V'Wr. of the probable receipts and ex penditures for the other three quars, an i estimates for the year following the 30th of June, 1860. I might content ny.-slf with a reference to that report, in which you will find ali the informa tion required for your deliberations and decision. But the paramount im portance of the sub'oct to press itself on my own miud, that 1 cannot but lay lefnrcj'ou my views of the measure-; which are required for the good charac tcr, and I might almost say, for the exis tcue of his people. The life of a re public lies certain y in the energy, vir tue and intelligence of its citizens ; but it is equally true that a good revenue fystcm is the life of an organized gov ernment. I meet you at a time when ihe nation has voluntarily burdened itsell with a debt unprecedented in our annals. Yast as its amount, it fades away iuto nothing when compared with the count less blessings that will be couferred upon our country and upon men by the preservation of the nation's life. Now, on the first occasion of the meeting of Congress since the return ol pci:e, it is of the utmost importance to ru'irate a just policy, which shall at once be put in motion, and which shall romrand itself to those who conic after nis for its coutinuaucc. We must aim at .iicthrng less than the complete cft'acc racnt of the fiuancial evils that necessari ly fallowed a state of civil war. We must cnleivor to apply the earliest remedy to the deranged state of the currency, aud n )t shrink from devising a policy which, without being oppressive to the people, shall immediately begin to effect a re duct;, 'ii of the debt,. and, if persisted in, discharge it fully within a definitely fixed uuml'T of years. I i our lirst duty to prepare ia earn est f jr our recovery from the ever increas ing evils of an irredeemable currency. without a sudden revulsion, and yet with out uutimely procrastination. lior that end we must, each in our respective posi ti n?, prepare the way. I hold it the duty of the Executive to insist upon fiu ga'.'.iy in the expenditures; aud a spaiing jCC'"u-my is itself a great national resource. Of the banks to which authority has been given to issue notes secured by buuus of the United States, we may re quire the greatest moderation and pru Jcncc, and the law must be rigidly en force I when its limits are exceeded. "Ve irny each of us, counsel our active and enterprising countrymen to Le con stantly on their guard, to liquidate debts ecu Uncled in a paper currency, and by conducting business as nearly as possible ou a system of each pay-incuts or short crtd.fs, to hold themselves prepared to return to the standard of gold and silver To aid our fellow citizens in the prudent management of their monetary affairs, the duty devolves upon us to diminish by law the amount of paper money now o escalation. Five years ago the bank Uut circulation of the country amounted o ni much more than two hundred mil lions; Uow the circulation, bank and na vLujI. exceeds seven hundred millions. Tl. simple statemeut of the fact recom mends more strongly than any words ol mine could do the necessity of our res Iraiuing this expausion. The gradual reduction of the currency is the only inca?urc that can save the business of the c:untry from disastrous calamities ; and This can be almost imperceptibly aeeom plished by gradually funding the national circulation in securities that may be made redeemable at the pleasure of the Gov ernment. Our debt is doubly secure first in the actual wealth and still greater uodevelep ed resources of the country ; and next in the character of our institution. The most intelligent observers anion? politi cal economists have not failed to remark, Shut the public debt of a country is safe T1;p cPnri)f nf.i,;.

This amount, or so much as may be deemed sufficient for the pur pose, may be applied to the reduction of the public debt, which, on the 31st day of October, 1S65, was 82,7-10,854,750. Every reduction will diminish the total amount of iuterest to be paid, and so en large the means of still further reductions until the whole debut shall be liquida ted ; and this, as will be seen from the estimates of the Secretary of the Treas ury, may be accomplished by annual pay ments cveu within a period not exceed ing thirty years. I have faith we shall do all this within a reasonable time ; that as we have amazed the world by the sup pression of a civil war which was thought to be beyond the control of any Govern mcnt, so we shall equally show the supe riority of our institutions by the prompt and faithful discharge of our national ob ligations. The Department of Agriculture, under its present discretion, is accomplishing much in developing and utilizing the vast agricultural capabilities of the coun try, and for information respecting the details of its management refereucc is made to the aunual report of the Com missioner. I have dwelt thus fully on our domes tic affairs because of their transcendant importance. Under any circumstances, our great extent of territory and variety of climate, producing almost everything that is necessary for the wants, aud even the comforts of men, make us sing nlarly'imdcpcn'dent of the varitig policy, of foreign powers, and protect us against every temptation to "entangling allian ces," while at the present moment the re. establishment of harmony, and the strength that comes from harmony, will be our best security against "nations who feel power aud forget right." For my self, it has been and will be my constant aim to promote peace and amity with all foreign nations aud powers ; aud I have every reason to believe that they all, without exception, are animated by the same disposit on. Our relations with the ICmperor of China, so recent in their or igin, are most friendly. Our commerce with his dominions is receiving new de vclopmcuts ; and it is very pleasing to find that the Government of that, great Empire manifests satisfaction with our policy, aud reposes just confidence in the fairness which marks our intercourse The unbroken harmony between the Un'f ted states and the Emperor of ltussiais receiving a new support from an enter prise designed to carry telegraphic lines across the continent of Asia, through his dominions, and so to connect us with all Europe by a new channel of intercourse Our commerce with South America is about to receive encouragemeut by a direct line of mail steamships to the ris ing Empire of Brazil.. The distinguished party of men of science who have recen tly left our country to make a scientific exploration of the natural history and rivers and mountain ranges of that region, have received from the Emperor that generous welcome which was to have been expected from his constant friend ship for the United States, and his weli known seal in promoting the advance ment of knowledge. A hope is enter tained that our commerce with the rich and populous countries that border the 3Icditerranean sea may be largely increas ed. Nothing will be wanting, on the part of this Government, to extend the protection of our flag over the enterprise of our fellow-citizens. Arc receive from the Powers in tint region assurances of good will ; and it is worthy of note that a special envoy has brought us messages of condolence on the -death of our l ite Chief Magistrate from the Day of Tunis, whose rule includes the old domiuion o!

The United States did linf nrnonni. ll. - tlement is essential to the-peace of na tions ; and though pecuniary reparation to their" iujured citizens would have fol lowed incidentally on a decision against Great Britaiu, such compensation was not their primary object. They had a high er motive, aud it was in the interest of peace and justice to establish important principles of international law. The cor respondence will be placed before you. The ground on which the British minis ter rests his justification is, substantially, that the municipal law of a nation aud the domestic interpretations of that law, arc the measures of duty as a neutral; and t feel bound to declare my opiniou, be fore you aud before the world, that that justification cauuot be sustained before the tribunal of nqtious. . At the same time I do not advise to any present at tempt at redress by acts of legislation. For the future friendship between the two countries must rest ou the basis of mutual justice. From the moment of the establishment of our free Constitution, 'the eivilizcd world has been convulsed by revolutions in the interests of democracy or of mon archy ; but through all these revolutions the United States have wisely and firmly refused to become propagandists of repub licanism. It is the only government suit ed to our conditiou ; but we have never sought to impose it on others; and we have consistently followed the advice of Washington to recommend it only by the careful preservation and prudent use of the blessing. During all the interven ing period the policy of European Powers and of the United Suites has, on the whole been harmonious. Twice, indeed, rumors of the invasion of some parts of America, in the interest, of monarchy, have prevail ed ; twice my predecessors have had oc casion to announce the views of this na tion in respect to such interference. On occasions the remonstrance of the United States was respected, from a deep convic tion, on the part of European Govern ments, that the system of non-interference aud mutual abstinence from propagandism was the true rule of the two hemispheres. Since those times we have advanced in wealtlutnd power; but we retain the same purpose to leave the uationa of Europe to choose their own dynasties and form their own systems of government. This con sistant moderation may justly demand a corresponding moderation. We should re gard it as a great calamity to ourselves, to the cause of good governmeni, and to the peace of the world, should any European Power challenge the American people, as it were, to the defence of republicanism against foreign interference. We cannot I'orcsee and are unwilling to consider what opportunities might preseut themselvos, what combinations might offer to protect ourselves against designs inimical to our form of government. The United States desire to act in the future as they have ever acted heretofore ; they will be driven from that course butbv the aggression of buropean Powers; and we rely ou the wisdom and justice of those Powers to re spect the system of noa-interference which has so loug been sanctioned by time, and which, by its good results, has approved itself to both continents. The correspondence between the Uni ted States aud France, iu reference to questions which have become subjects of discussion betwecu the two Governments, will, at a proper time, be laid before Con gress. When, on the organization of our Govern ment under the Constitution, the President of the United States delivered his inaugural address to the two houses of Congress, he said to them, and through them to the coun try and to mankind, that "the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican mode of government are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staKed.on the experiment entrusted ta Amer ican people." And the House of Represen tatives answered Washington by the voice of Madison: We adore the invisible hand which has led the American people through so many difficulties, to cherish a conscious re.-ponsibility for the destiny of republican liberty."

Here, under the combined influence of a fruiiful soil, genial climes, and happy insitutions, population has increased fifteen fold within a century. Here,' through the easy development of boundless resources, wealth has increased with two-fold greater rapidity than numbers, so that we have be come secure against the financial vicssitudes of other countries, and alike in business and opinion, are self-centred and truly independ ent. Here more and more care is given to provide education for every one born on our soil. Here religion, released from political connection with the civil government, re fuses to subserve the craft of statesmen, and because, in its independence, the spiritual life of the people. Here toleration is extend ed to every opinion, in the quiet certainty that truth needs only a tair field to secure the victory. Here the human mind goes forth unshackled in the pursuit of science, to collect stores of knowledge and acquire an ever-increasing mastery over the forces of nature. Here, the national doman is offered and held in millions of separate freeholds, so that our fellow-citizens, beyond the occu pants of any other part of the earth, consti tute in reality a people. Here exists the democratic form of government; and that form of government, by the confession of European statesmen, "gives a power of which no other form is capable, because it incorpor ates every man with the State, and arouses every thing that belongs to the soul." Where, in past history, does a parallel exist in the public happinnss that is within the reach of the people of the United States 1 Where, in any part of the globe, can institu tions be found so suited to their habits or so entitled to their love as their own free Cou-stitution-3 Every one of them, then, in what ever part of the land he has his home, must wish its perpetuity, Who of them will not now acknowledge, in the words of Washing ton, that "every step by which the people of the United Stales have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of Providential agency." Who will not join with me in the prayer, that tin invisible hand which has led us through the clouds that gloomed around our path, will so guide us onward to a perfect restoration of frater nal affection, that we of this day may be a bl" to transmit our great inheritance, of State Governments in all their rigliip. of the General Government in its whole constitu tional vigor, to our posterity, and they to theirs through countless generations.
