I •hall, therefore continue to direct that .the
hisrcpplied, «f> far as it can
be judiciously and oconomicttUy doDB to lho
redlicticb of; thei public, dibtj (be amount of
which at'the commebcctlieot df ihe lost fiscal
year,- mu 867,340, 038j0f". which there had
been paid on tbe'OOth-day of November,
IB34;the fum 'pf 83.2,363,172; leaving a
balaoce of butstahdihg public debl of only
844.975,436, redeemable at different periods
withimfdurieen years. There are also rent-
DQDls’of 01 her Government stocks, roosiol
which,ore already due, and on which the
interest has ceased, but which have not yet
been presented for payment, amounting to
8388,179. This sffetement exhibits the fact
that the annual income of the Government
greatly exceeds the amount of its public debt,
which la»er remains unpaid, only because
the time of payment has not >e| matured,
and it canuot be discharged- at once, except
at the option of public creditors, who prefer
to retain the securities of the United States ;
and the other fact, not less striking, that the
annual revenue from all sources exceeds, by
many, millions of dollars, the amount needed
for a prudent and economical administration
of the Government.
The estimates presented to Congress from
the different Executive Departments, at the
last session, amounted to thirty-eight million
four hundred and six thousand five hundred
and eighty-one dollars; and the appropria
tions made to the sum of fifty-eight million
four hundred and six thousand- five hundred
and eighly-ona dollars; and the appropria
tions made to the sum of fifty-eight million
one hundred and sixteen thousand nine hun
dred and fifly-eight dollars. Of this excess
of appropriations over estimates, however,
more thaa twenty-million was applicable to
extraordinary objects, having no reference to
the usual annual expenditures. A mong these
objects, was embraced ten million to meet the
third article of the treaty beteen the United
Slates and Mexico ; so (hat, in fact, for ob
jects of extraordinary expenditure, the appro
priations wore limited to considerably less
than forty millions of dollars. I therefore,
renew my recommendation (or a reduction of
the duties on imports. The report of the
'Secretary of the Treasury presents a series
of tables showing the operation of the reven
ue system for several successive years, and
as the general principle of reduction of du
ties, with a view to revenue and not protec
tion, may now be regarded as the settled pol
icy of the country, I trust that little difficulty
will be encountered in settling the details of
a measure to that effect.
In connection with this subject, I recom
mend a charge in the laws,-which recent ex
perience has shown to be essential to the
protection of the Government. There is no
express provision of law, requiring the rec
ords and papers of a public character, of the
several officers of the Government, to be left
in their offices for the use of their successors,
nor any provision declaring it felony on their
part to make false entries in the books, or re
turn false accounts. In the absence of such
express provision by law, the outgoing offi
cers, in many instances, have claimed and
exercised the right to lake into their own
possession important books and papers, on
the ground that these were their private
properly ; and have placed them beyond the
reach of the Government. Conduct of this
character, brought in several instances to the
notice of the present Secretary of the Treas
ury, naturally awakened his suspicion, and
resulted in the disclosure that at Tour ports,
namely, Oswego,Toledo,Sandusky, and Mil
waukee, ike Treasury has, by false entries,
been defrauded, within the four years next
preceeding March, 1853, of the sum of one
hundred and ninety-eight thousand dollars.
The great difficulty with which the detection
of these frauds has been attended, in conse
quence of the abstraction of books and pa
pers by the retiring officers, and the facility
with which similar frauds in the public ser
vice may be perpetuated, render the neces
sity of new legal enactments, in the respects
above referred to, quite obvious. For other
material modifications of the revenue laws
which seem to me desirable, I refer you to
the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury.
That Report, and the tables which accompa
ny it, furnish ample proofs of the solid
foundation on which the financial security of
the country rests, and of the salutary influ
ence of the Independent Treasury system
upon ootnmerce and all monetary opera
tions.
The experience of Ihe last year furnishes
additional reasons, I regret to say, of a pain
ful character, for the recommendation here
tofore made, to provide for increasing the
military force employed in the territory in
habited by the Indians. The settlers on the
frontier have suffered much from the incur
aions of predatory bands, and large parlies of
emigrants to our Pacific possessions have
been massacred with impunity. The recur
ernceof such scenes can oniy be prevented
by teaching these wild tribes the power of,
and their responsibility to, the United States.
From the garrisons of our frontier posts, it is
only possible to detach troops in small bodies ;
and though these have on all occasions dis
played a gallantry and a stern devotion to
duty, which, on a larger field, would have
commanded universal admiration they have
usually suffered severely in these conflicts
with superior numbers, and have sometimes
been entirely sacrificed. All the disposable
fores of the army is already employed on
this service, and is known to be wholly in
adequate to the protection which should be
afforded. The public mind of the country
bM been recently shocked by savage atroci
ties committed qpon defenseless emigrants
and border settlements, and hardly less by
the unnecessary destruction of valuable lives,
where inadequate detachments of troops have
undertaken to furnish the needed aid. With
out increase of the military force, these
scenqs.will be rageate'4, it is jo be/eared, on
a largbr scale, hnd with more disastrous con#
sequences. Congress,. I am sure; will peK
coin that plainest duties and responsible
ties of government ere involved in this qnea-'
confidently anfjefcated when- delay must
bo attended by. such fearfulfhasards. , \
The bill of the last session, providing \for
an increase of the pay of the rank ‘and file
oMhe army, has had beneficial' "results,, not ;
■only in facilitating enlistments, but in obvious
improvement, in the class of men who enter
■"li-.h'-i
the service. ! regret" that correspdhdmg

as the nucleus arrotind- which the volunteer i
forces of the nation can promptly gather in i
the hour of danger,-sufficiently attest the i
wisdom,of maintaining a military peace es- ;
tablishme.nl; but the theory of our system 1
and the wise.practice under it, require .that
any proposed augmentation, in tithe of peace,
be only commensurate with our extended
limits and frontier relations. While scrupu
lously adhering to this principle, I find, in
existing circumstances, a necessity for in
crease of dur military force and it is believed
that four new regiments, two of infantry end
two of mounted men, will be sufficient to
meet the present exigency. If it were neces
sary carefully to weigh the cost in a case of
such urgency, it would be shown that the ad
ditional expense would be comparatively
light. ■
With the increase of the numerical force
of iha army should, I think, be combined'
certain measures of reform in its organic ar
rngement and administration. The present
organization is the result of partial legisla
tion often directed to special objects and in
terests; and the laws regulating rank and
command, having been adopted many years
ago from the British code, are not always
applicable to our service- ft is not surpris
ing, therefore, that the system should be
deficient in the symmetry and simplicity es
sential to the harmonious working of its sev
eral parts, and require a careful revision.
The present organization, by maintaining
large staff crops or departments, separates
many officers from that close connection
with troops, and those active duties in the
field which are deemed requisite to qualify
them for tho varied responsibilities of high
command. Were the duties of the army
staff mainly discharged by officers detached
from their regiments, it is believed that the
spesial service would be. equally well per
formed, and the discipline and instruction of
the army be improved. While due regard
to the security of the rights of officers, and
to the nice sense of honor which should be
cultivated among them, would seem to exact
compliance with the established rule of pro
motion in ordinary cases, still it can hardly
be doubled that the range-of promotion by
soleclion, which is now practically confined
to the grade of general officers, might be
somenhat extended with benefit to the-public
service. Observance of the rule of seniority
sometimes leads, especially in lime of peace,
to the promotion of officers who, after merit
orious, and ever distinguished service, may
have been rendered by age or incapable of
performing active duly, and whose advance
went therefore, would lend to impair tho ef
ficiency of the army. Suitable provision
for this class of officers, by the creation of
a retired list, would remedy the evil, without
wounding the just pride of men, who, by
past services, have established a claim to high
consideration. In again commending (his
measure to the favorable consideration of
Congress, I would suggest that the power of
placing officers on (he retired list be limited
to one year. The practical operation of the
measure would thus be tested; and if, after
(he lapse of years, there should be occasion
to renew the provision, it can be reproduced
with any improvements which experience
may indicate. The present organization of
the artillery into regiments is liable to obvious
objections. The service of artilery is that
of batteries, and an organization of batteries
into a corps of artillery would be more con
sistent with the nature of their duties. A
large part of the troops now called artillery
are, and have been, on duty as infantry—the
distinction between the two arms being mere
ly nominal. This nominal artillery in our
.service is entirely disproportionate to (he
whole force, and greater than the wants of
the country demand. 1 therefore commend
the discontinuance of a distinction which has
no foundation in either the arms used or the
character of the service expected to be per
formed.
The recommendation of the Secretary of
the Navy, having reference to mere ample
provisions for the discipline and general im
provement in the character of seamen, and
for the reorganization and gradual increase of
the Navy, 1 deem eminently worthy of your
favorable consideration no. The principles
which have controlled our policy in relation
to the permanent military force, by sea and
land, are sound, consistent with the theory of
our system, and should by no means be dis
regarded. But, limiting the force to the ob
jects particularly set forth in the preceding
part of this Message, we should not overlook
the present magnitude and prospective exten
sion of our commercial marine, nor fail to
give due weight to the fact that, besides the
2,000 miles of Atlantic seaboard, we have
now a Pacific coast, attaching from Mexico
to the British possessions in the north, teem
ing with wealth and enterprise, and demand
ing the constant presence of ship of-war.—
The augmentation of the Navy has not kept
pace with the duties properly and profitably
assigned to it in time of peace and it is inad
equate for the large field of its operations, not
merely in the present, but still more in the
progressively increasing exigencies of the
wealth and commerce of the' United Stales.
I cordially approve of the proposed appren
tice system for our national vessels, recant
mended by the Secretary of the Navy.

The'cost of mail transportation, during the
(year ending-June 80,1854, exceeds the cost
of the preceding year by $495,074. I again:
call your attention-to the subject of mail;
transportation by ocean steamers, and com
mend the suggestions of the Postmaster Gen-,
eral to your early : attention.
During the last, fiscal year eleven million
seventy thousand nine hundred and thirty five
acres of the public lands have been surveyed,
and eight million one hundred and 'ninety
thousand and seventeen acrds brought into
market The number of acres sold is seven
millions thirty-five thousand seven hundred
and thirty-five,-and the amount received
therefrom nine million two hundred and eigh
ty-five thousand five hundred and
dollars. -The- aggregate amount of lands
sold, located under military scrip and land
warrants, selected as swamp lands by States
and by locating uhder 'grants for roads, is
upward'of twenty-three millions of acres.
The increase of lands' sold over the previous
year is about six millions of acres; and the
sales during the two first quarters of the cur
rent year present the extraordinary result of
five and a half millions sold, exceeding by
nearly four millions of acres the sales of the
corresponding quarters of the last year, thus
increasing to an extent unparalleled during
spy like period in our past history the am
ount of revenue provided from this sourse for
the Federal Treasury.'
The commendable policy of the Govern
ment, In relation to setting apart public de
main for those who have served their coun
tt-y in time of war, is illustrated by the fact
that since 1760 no less than 80,000,000 of
acres have been applied to this object.
The suggestions, which I submitted in my
.annual Message of last year, in reference to
grants of laAd in and of the construction of
railways, were less full and explicit than the
magnitude of the subject and subsequent de
velopments: would seem to render proper and
desirable. Of the soundness of the princi
ple then asserted with regard to the limita
tion of the power of Congress, 1 entertain no
doubt; but in its applicaiton it is not enough
(hat the value of lands in a particular locali
ty may be enhanced ; that, in fact,a. larger
amount of money may probably be received
in a given lime, for alternate sections, that
could have been realized for all the sections,
without the impulse aud influence of the pro
posed improvements. A prudent proprietor
looks beyond limited secretions of bis domain,
beyond present results, to the ultimate effect
which a particular lino of policy is likely to
produce upon all his possessions and inter
ests. The Government, which is trustee, in
(his matter, for the people of the States, is
bound to take the same wise and comprehen
sive view. Prior to and during the last ses
sion of Congress, upward of thirty millions
of acres of land were withdrawn from pub
lic sale with a view to applications for grants
of this character pending before Congress. —
A careful review of the whole subject ted
me to direct that all such orders be abroga
ted and the lands restoied to market; and
instructions were immediately given to that
effect. The applications at the last session
contemplated the construction of more than
five thousand miles of road, and grants to the
amount of nearly .twenty millions ol acres of
the public domain. Even admitting the right
on the pan of Congress to be unquestionable,
is it quite clear that the proposed grants
would be productive of good, and not evil]
The different projects are confined, for pres
ent, to eleven Stales of this Union, and one
Territory. The reasons assigned for the
grants show that it is proposed to put the
works speedily in process of construction.—
When we reflect that since the commence
ment of the construction of railways in the
United States, stimulated as (hey they have
been by lhe*large dividends realized from the
earlier works over great thoroughfares, and
between the most important points of com
i merce and population, encouraged by Slate
legislation, and pressed forward by the ama
zing energy of private enterprise, only 17,
000 miles have been completed in all the
Slates in a quarter of a century; when we
see the cripled condition of many works com
menced and prosecuted upon what were
' deemed to be sound principles and safe cal
' culations, when we contemplate the enormus
> absorption of capital withdrawn from the or
dinary channels oi business, the extravagant
rates of interest at this moment paid to con
tinue operations, (he bankrupts not merely in
money but in character, and the inevitable
effect upon finances generally—can it be
doubted that the tendency is to run to excess
in ibis matter? Is it wise to augment ;this
excess by encouraging hopes of spdden
wealth expected to flow from magnificent
schemes dependent upon (he action of Con
gress? Does the spirit which has produced
such results need to be stimulated or checked ?
Is it not (he better rule to leave all these
works to private enterprise, regulated, and,
when epedient aided, by the cooperation of
States? If constructed by private capital,
the stimulant and the check go together, and
furnish a salutary restraint against specula
tive schemes and extravagances. But is
manifest that with the most effective guards
of going 100 fast and too far.
1 have thus presented suggestions on such
subjects as appear to me to be of particular
interest of importance, and therefore most
worty of consideration during the short re
maining period allpted to (he labors of the
present Congress,
