    ' PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
C Concluded J ram third page. J
Within tho last few years, events have
uppealod to them too strongly to be disrc
Carded, j i,cv liaVo seen that the constitu
tion, thougli theoretically adhered to, is sub
Tertcd in practice; that while on the statute
books there is no legal tender but cold and
-II - I 7 .1 II!.. .
Mivcr, no law impairing uie oongauons o
contracts yet that, in point of fact, theptiv
iicges cornered on uaiiKingcorporations havi
made their notes thccurroi-oy of tho country
that the obligations imposed by these note
arc violated under tho impulses of interest
or convenience, ana that mo mini
oer anu power ot the persons connect
ed with these corporations or place
under their influence, civc them a fearful
weight when their interest is in opposition
to the spirit of the constitution and jaws.
1 o the people it is immaterial whether these
results are produced by open violations of
the latter, or by the workings of a system
oi wined tlio results is tho same. An in
flexible execution even of the existing alal
utes of most of tho states, would rcdicss
many evils now endured : would cflcctual
ly show the banks the dangers of mis-man
ngement, which impunity encourages them
to repeat; anil would teach all corporations
me useiui lesson tnat they arc the subjects
of the law, and tho servants of tho people.
"What is still wanting to effect these objects
must be sought in additional legislation; or
if that be inadequate, in such further con
amunonai grants or restrictions as may
bring us hack into tho path from which we
nave so widely wandered.
In the mean lime, it is tho duty of the
general government to co-operate with the
states, by a wise exercise of its constitution
si powers, and the enforcement ol its exist
ing laws. The extent to which it may do
o by further enactments, I have already ad
verted to, and the wisdom of Congress may
yet enlarge them Hut, abovo all, it is in-
enmbent upon us to hold erect the princi
plosof morality and law.constantly excciil
ing our own cantracls in accordance with
the provisions of the constitution, and thus
ecrving as a rallying point by which our
whole country may be brought back to that
sate and honored standard.
Our people will not long bo inrcnsiblo to llic ex
lent of tho burdens entailed upon them by the false
system that has been operating on their sanguine,
energetic and industrious charactci; nor to tho
.means necessary to extricate themselves from these
-tmuairassmcnts. i lie weight which presses upon
a large portion ol the people and tha Stales, is an
enormous debt, foreign and domestic. The foreign
debt of our States, corporations and men of'lmsimss
can scarcely be less than two hundred millions of
dollars, requiring moro than ten millions of dollars
a year to pay tho interest. This sum has to be paid
out of the exports of the country, and must of neces
sity cut oft'imports to that extent, or plunge the
country tnoro deeply in debt from vcar to year. It
is easy to sso that tho increase of this foreign debt
must augment the annual demand on the exports to
pay the interest, and to tho same extent diminish
the imports, and in proportion to the enlargement
of the foreign debt, and tho zonsoqucnt increase of
interest, must be the decrease of tho import trade.
jn lieu ot the comlorts which it now brings us, we
wight have our gigantic banking institutions, and
splendid, but, in many instances, prolitless,raiIroad.s
and canals, absorbing, to a great extent, an interest
upon tho capital borrowed to construct tucm, tho
surplus fruits of national industry for years to come,
and securing to posterity no adequate return for the
comforts which the labor of their hands might oth
erwise have secured. It is not by tho increase of
uusucui mat reiiel is to lie sought, hut in its dimi
nution. Upon this point,thcro is I am happy to say,
tope before us;not so much in ths return nl'confidcnco
abroad, which will enable tho States to borrow
more money, as in a change of public feeling at
home, which prompts our people to pause in their
career, and think of the means by which debts aro
to bo paid before they are contracted. If wo would
escape embarrassment, public or private, wo must
cease to run in debt except for objects of necessity,
or such as will yield a certain return. Let the faith
of the States, corporations and individuals, already
pledged, bo kept wiih tho mo3t punctilious regard.
It is duo to our national character, as well as to jus
tice, that this should on each In a Used principle of
conduct. Dut it behooves us all to bo mora chary
in pledging it hcroaflcr. By ceasing to run in debt,
and applying tho surplus of our crops and incomes
to the discharge of existing obligations, buying less
and selling more, and managing all affairs, public
.and private, with strict economy and frugality, wo
shall ere our country recover fiom,a temporary de
preseion.'arising not from natural and permanent
causes, but from those I have enumerated, and ad
vance with renew! vigor in her career of prosper
ity. Fortunllcly for us, at this moment, when the
balanco oftrade is greatly against us, and tho diffi
culty ol meeting it enhanced by tlic disturbed state
ofour money airairs,the bounties of I'rovidonco havo
come to relievo us from the consequences of past
errors. A faithful application of tho iinmcnso re
sults of tho labors of the last season will afl'uid par
tial relief for the present, nnd perseverance in tho
same course will, in duo soason.accomplish the rest.
Wo havo had full experience, in times past, of iho
extraordinary results which can, in this respecfc bo
brought about in a short period, by the united and
well directed efforts of a community like ours.
Our surplus profits, the energy and industry ofour
population, anu tlio woutlerlul advantages which
Providence has bestowed upon our country, in its
climate, its various productions, indfspcnsablo to
ether nations, will, in due time, ah'urd abundant
means to perfect the mot useful of those objects for
which the States havo beon plunging thomselvcs of
laiein emoanassments and debt, without imposing
on ourselves or our children eueh fuarful burdens.

m
stStutlons and policy of tho General Government so
as to pron.ote, as far as it can with its limited pow
ers, thc90 important ends, you may rely on my most
cordi.il co-operation.
That there should havo been, in tlio pro
gress of recent crcnts,duubls in many quar
ters, and in some a heated opposition in eve
ry change, cannot surprise us. Doubts arc
properly attendant on all reform; and it is
peculiarly in tho nature of sueh abuses as
we are iiowcncounleiiiig, to seek to perpet
uate their power by means of tho influence
they hate hcen permitted to acquire. It is
their result, if not their object, to gain for
the few an ascendency over the many, by
securing to them a monopoly of the curren
cy, tho medium through which most of iho
wants of mankind ate supplied to pro
duce iiirougiiuut society a chain ol ilopeutl
ance which leads all classes to look to pnvi
icgcd associations lor the means of specu
lation and extravagance to nourish,
preference to the manly virtues that civ
dignity to human nature, a craving desire
for luxurious enjoyment and sudden wealth
which render those who seek them depend
ant on those who supply them to substi
lute for tcpuhlican simplicity and econoini
eal habits a sickly appelito for effeminate
indulgence, and an imitation of that reck
less extravagance which impoverished aud
enslaved the industrious people of fnreinn
lands; and at last, to flx upon us, instead of
thoso equal political rights, the acquisition
ol which was alike tho obicct and suppos
cd reward of our Revolutionary struggle, a
system ol exclusive privileges conferred by
partial legislation. .1 o remove (he million
ccs which had thus gradually grown tip a
mong us to deprive them of their deeep
live advantages to lest them by tho light
of wisdom and truth to oppose the force
which inev concentrate in ineir support
all this was necessarily thn work of time,
even among a people so enlightened and
pure as that of tho United States. In most
other counties perhaps, it could only be ac
complished through that soiies of revolt
nonary movements, wlucli aro too oltcn
found necessary to effect any great and rad
ical reform; but it is the crowning merit of
our institutions, that they create and nour
ish in the vast minority ol our people, i
disposition and a power peacably to renin
dy lahuscs which havo elsewhere caused
the effusion of rivers of blood, and the sac
rifice of thousands of the human race.
j he lcsult thus far is most honorable to
tho self denial, trie intelligence, and the pat
riotisui of our citizens; it justifies the con
lidont hope that they will '-arrv through the
retorm wiucii has been so well begun, ami
lliey will go still tarther than they have yet
one in illustrating the important truth, that
people as frco and enlightened as ours,
will, whenever it becomes necessary, show
themselves to be indeed capaclo of self-gov
ernment by voluntarily adopting appropri
ate remedies, for every abuse, and submit
ting to temporary sacrifices, however great,
to ensure their permanent welfare.
My own exertions for the furtherance of
these desirable objects have been bestowed
throughout my official career with a zeal
hat is nourished by ardent wishes for the
welfare of my country, and by an unlimited
reliance on the wisdom that marks its ulti
mate decision on all great and controverted
questions. Impressed with the solemn oh-
gattons imposed upon me by the Constitu
tion, desirous also of laving before my fel-
ow-uitizctis,' with whose confidence and
upport I have been so highly honored such
measure? as appear to mo conductive to their
prosperity and anxious to submit to theii
ullestconsirieration the grounds upon which
my opinions are formed, I, have on this, as
on preceding occasions freely offered my
lows on those points ot domestic policy
rat seem, at the present time, most promi
nently to requite tho action of tho Govern
ment. I know that they will receive from
Congrcs that full and able consideration
which tho importance of the subjects met

Conjugal Harmony. A man in Gcr
many advertised that ho had an organ that
wouiu piay any tunc out ol an enumerated
set at the command of any one of the audi
ence ; this made a great noise at tho time,
and puzzled all the conjurors and philoso
phers of the place. Tho organ was placed
on a table with its bacft against the wall,
the company were invited to examine it,
then ask for a tune, which was immediately
played, and if any one desired it to stop it
was itislainly silent ? This went o.i for a
long lime,, and the ingenious inventor was
making a rapid fortune, and tho secret
would have been buried with him, had he
not behaved most iiiharmoniously towards
his loving wife one day, just beforo the
performance was about to commence. The
room was crowded, as usual and a tunc
was called for, but not a nolo was heard ;
the owner hscamo unensy, and said, in a
soothing coaxing tone, "do blay, my coot
organs," still not a sound was heard : he
got out of patience, and threatened to
smash the instrument to pieces, when a
hoarse female voice was heard to glow out
"Ay, do, you tyvel, preak do organs, as
you proko my head dis morning." This
was too much for tho cholcrick German ;
ho took :t chair and gave tljc instrument
Mich a whack, that it diovo it through a pa

another organ, which had been placed

cine that has yet been used in America. If every
family could become acquainted with ihctr Sover

The Jicsurrcclion, or Persian Pills.
The name of theso pills orginated from the cir
cumstance of tho medicine being found only in Hie
ccinctaries of Persia. This cgctablo ptoduction
being of a peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ila medicinal qualities and virtues. In half a cen
tury it became an established medicine for tho dis
eases of that country. The extract of this singu
lar production was introduced into some parts of Ku
rope in the year 1,8.'), and used by ma-iy celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all oth
er medicine has been used in vain. Karlv in the
year 170'.', the extract was combined with a certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura llaea, in
Iho llast Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir
able cfi'cct of this compound upon the human sys
tem, led pliysucans and families into its general !
use. Their long established character their imivcr.
