Tho revenue svstcni of tho country is a
mibjeot of vital intcrost to its honor and
prosperity, and should oomuitvnd tho earn
est consideration of Congress, The Sec
retary of tho Treasury will lay boforo you
a full and detailed report of tho receipts
and disbursements of tho last fiscal year,
of the first quarter of tho present fiscal
yoar, of the piobablo receipts and expen
ditures or othc ther thrco quarters, and
the estimato for tho year following the
aOth of June, 1800. I might contont my
self with a rofereuco to that report, in
which you will Cnd all the information re
quired for your deliberations and decision,
But tho paramount importance of the sub
ject so presses itiolf on my own miud,that
X cannot but lay boforo you my views of
the measures which arc rcqtnreu tor tuo
good charaotcr, and, I might also say, for
the existence ol this pooplo.
Tho life of a republio lies certainly in
. the energy, virtuo and intelligence of its
citizens, but it ia equally true that a good
revenue system is the life of an orgauized
novernmeut. I meet vou at a time when
the nation has voluntarily burdened itself
with a debt unprecedented in our annals.
Vast as is its amount, it. fades away into
nothing when compared with tho countless
blessings that will be conferred upon our
country and upon man by tho preservation
of the nation's life. Now, on the first oc
casion of tho meeting of CoDgrcss sinco
the return of peace, it is of the utmost im
portanoo to inaugurate n just policy ,vhich
shall at onco be put in motion, and which
shall commend itself to thoso who oome
after us for its continuance,
We must aim at nothing less than tho
complete effaccment of tho financial evils
that necpssari v tolloweu a taic 01 civil
lb
war. Wo must onuoavor 10 appiy mo i
earliest rcmody to the deranged state of tie
currency, and not shrink from devising a
policy which, without bring oppressive to
the people, shall immediately begin to ef
fect a reduction of the debt, and, if per
sisted in, dischargo it fully within a defi
nitely fixed number of years.
It is our Grst duty to preparo id earnest
for our recovery from the over-increcsing
evils of an irredeemable curroney, with
out a sudden revulsion, and yet( without
untimely procrastination. For that end
wo must, each in our respective positions,
prepare tho way. I hold it the duty of
the Executive to insist upon frugality in
tho expenditures ; and a sparing economy
is itself a great national, resource Of tho
banks to which authority has been givon
to issue notes secured by bonds of the
United States, wo may requiro tho great
est moderation and prudenco, and the law
must be rigidly enlorced when its limits
aro exceeded.
Wo may, each ono of us, counsel our
active and enterprising countrymen to be
constantly on their guard, to liquidate
debts contracted in a paper currency, and,
by conducting business as nearly as possi
ble on a system of cash pay menta,or short
credits, to hold themselves proparod to ro
turn to tho standard of gold and silver.
To aid our fellow-citizens in the prudent
management of their monetary attain, the
amy uevoivcs on us to uimtnicti, uy iaw,
the amount of papor money now in circu
lation. Five years ago tho bank nolo circulation
of tho country amounted to not much
more trfan two bundr.cd millions. Now tho
circulation, bank and national, exceeds
seven hundred millions. Tho simple state
ment of tho fact recommends moro strong
ly than any words of mine could do, the
necessity of our mlrainingthis expansion.
The gradual reduction of tho currency ia
. . -, , . ... .if- ! i. i , i
the oaly measure that oan save the busi '
nest of tho country from disastrous calam
Hies; and this cau.be almost impercepti
bly accomplished by gradually funding Iho
national circulation in securities that may
bo made redeemable at tho pleasure of the
Government.
Our debt is doubly secure Grit in tho
actual wealth and still greater undeveloped
resources of tho country ; and next in tho
character of our institutions. The most
intelligent observers among politioal econ
omists havo not failed to remark, that the
public debt of a country is salo in propor
tion as its peoplo nro free ; that tho dobt
of a republio is tho safest of all, Our
history confirms and establishes tho theo
ry, and is 1 firmly believe,- destined to
givo it a still more signal illustration.
The secret of this superiority springs
not merely from th fact that in a republio
tho national obligations aro distributed
more widely through countless numbers in
all classes of society ; it has its root in tho
character of our laws. Hero all mca con
tribute to the public wclfare,and bear their
fair sbaro;of tho public burdeni. During
tho war, under the impulses of patriotism
tha men of tho great tody of tho people,
without regard to their own comparative
want of wealth, thronged to our armies
and filled our fleots of war, and held them
selves ready to offer their lives for tho pub
lic good, Now, in their turn, the proper
ty and income of tho country should bear
their just proportion of tho burden of tax
ation, whilo in our impost system, through
moans of which inoreased vitality is inei-
dently imparted to all tho industrial inter
ests of the nation, the tlutios shou d be so
adjusted as to fall most heavily on articles
of luxury, leaving the necessaries of life
as (reo from taxation as the ab.'oluto wants
of tho Government, economically admin
istered, will justify. No favored class
should demand froedom from assessmout,
and the taxes should bo so distributed as
not to fall unduly on tho poor, but rather
on tbo accumulated wealth of the country.
Wc should look at the national debt just
as it u not as a national blessing, but as
a heavy burden on tho industry of the
country, to bo discharged with unnecessa
ry delay.
It is estimated by tho Secretary of the
Treasury that the expenditures for tho fis
cal ytar ending the 130th of June, 1800,
will exceed tho racolnts $113,104,017 Itl
is gratifying, however, that It Is also rsii-
inatotl tli tt tuo revenuo lor tho yoar end
ing tho UOth of June, 1807, wlllcxcocd'
the expenditures in tho uiu of lll,0'28,
818. This amount, or sn much ns may
be deemed sufficient for the purpose, may
bo applied to tho rcduoltou of tho public
debt, which, on the 81st day of October,
1805, was 2,740, 854, 750.
Evory reduction will diminish tho total
amount of interest to bo paid, and so on
largo tho moans of still further reductions,
until tho wholo shall bo liquidated ; and
thii, as will bo scon from tho estimates of
tho Secretary of tho Treasury, may bo
accomplished by annual payments even
within a period not exceeding thirty years.
I have faith that we shall do all this with
in a reason alio timo, that, as we havo
amazed the world by tho suppression of a
civil war which was thought to bo boyond
tuo oontrol ot any iiovrrumcnt.so wo will
equally show tho superiority of our insti
tution by tuo prompt and faithful dis
charge of our national obligations.

I have dwelt thus fully on our domestic
affairs becauso of their transccudant im
portance. Under any circumstances, our
great extent ol territory and variety of
climate,- producing almost everything that
is necessary for thu wants, and even tho
comforts of man, mako us singularly in
dependent of tho varying policy of foreigu
Powers, and protect us against every tempt
ition to "entangling alliances," while at
iho present niomont tho re-establishment
of harmony, and tho strength that comes
from harmony, will bo our best security
against "nations who feel power aud for
get right."
For myself, it has been and it will bo
my constant aim to iromolo peace- and
amity with all foreign nations aud power.-;
and I have every reason to believe that
they all, without exception, arc animated
by tho sntno disposition, Our relations
with tho Emperor of China, so recent in
their origin, aro mot friendly. Our com

Tho unbroken harmony between tho
United States and tho Emperor of Russia
is 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 now channel of intercourse.
Our commcrco with South America is
about to receive encouragement by a di
rect lino of mail steamships to the rising
empiro of Brazil. The distinguished par
ty of men of soienco who have recently left
our country to inake a scientific csplora
t on of the natural history, and rivers and
mountain ranges of that region, have re
ceived from the Emperor that generous
welcome which was to havo been cxpeot

United Statc3, and his well-known zial in
promoting tho advancement of knowlcdgo.
A hope is entertained that our commerce

I waa called to tho administration of tho
Government. The sinccro desire for peaco
by which I am animated led mo to ap
prove tho proposal, already mado, to sub
mit the questions which had thus arisen
bctweon tho two cduntrics to arbitration:
These questions aro of such moment
that thoy must have commanded tho atten
tion of the groat powers, and aro ao inter
woven with tho peaco and interest of every
ono of them as to havo insured an impar
tial decision. I regret to inforn you that
Great Uritain declined tho arbitrament,
but; on tho other hand, invited us to tho
formation of a joint commission to settle
mutual claims between tho two countris.
(from which thoao for tho depredations beo-
foro mentioned should be excluded, 'Iho
proposition in that very unsatisfactory
form, has been ueclincu.
Tho United Statos did not present this
object as an impeachment of the good
faith of a power which was prolossmg tuo
most friondly dispositions, but as involving
questions of publio law, of winch tho set
tlement is essential to tho peace of a uaiion;
and although pecuniary reparation lo thir
injured citizens would havo followed inci
dentally on a dicision against Groat Brit
ain, Biioh compensation was not their pri
mary object. Thoy had n higher inotivo,
and it was in tho interests of peaco and
justice to establish important principles of
international law. The oorrcspondcaoo
will be plaood befoio you.
Tho ground ou which the British Min
ister rests his justification Is substantially,
that tho municipal law of a nation, and tho
domcstlo interpretations of that law, aro
tho measure of Its duty as a neutral, and
1 feel hound to declare my opinion beforo
you aud beforo the world; that that jiistiQ
catlou oanuot bo sustained before tho tri
bunal of nations. At tho same timo I do
not adviso to any present attempt ut ro
drcss by aots of legislation. For thu fu
ture, friendship between tho two oonutrics
must rest on tha basis of mutual justice.
From tho moment of tho establishment
of our frco Constitutionals civilized world
has boen oonvulsed by resolutions in tho
iniercits of democracy or of monarchy ;
but through all thoso revolutions the
United States have wisely and (irmly re
fined tobecomo propagandists or republi
canism. It is the only govornmcnt suited
to our condition; but wu have novcr sought
to impose it on others : and we have con-
sistcutly followed the advico of Washing
ton to recommend it only by tho carolul
preservation and prudent use of the blocs
ing Buring all the intervening period
tho policy of Europeau Bowers aud of
the United States has, on tho wholo, been
harmonious. Twice indeed rumors of tho
invasion of somo part' of America to the
iutcrest of monarchy have prevailed; twice
my predecessors have had an occasion
to anuounco tho views of this nation in
tospect to such interference. On both
occasions tho remonstrance of tho United
States was rcspct'-d from a deop convic
tion on tho part of Euro; can Governments
that the hystuui of lion interference and
mutual abttinenco from propagandise was
the truo rule for tha two hemisphere.
Since times wo havo advauccd in woalth
and power ; but wo retain the same pur
pose to leave tho nations of Europo to
choose their own dynasties aud form thoir
own s)6tPius of government. This con
sistent moderation may justly demaud a
j enrrotponding moderation. Wo should
regatd it as a great calamity to ourselves
to the cause ol good government and to
the peace of tho world should any Euro
pean Power challengo tho American poo
plo as it wero to the defence of ropublio
ism against foreign interference. Wc can
not foresee and ate unwilling to consider
what opporlunili' s might present them
, solves what oomb. nations might offer to
protect ourselves against designs mimical
to our form of government. The United
States desire to act in the futuro as they
havo ever acted herclolorej they never will
I bo driven from that course but by the ag
gression of European Power.1; aud wo rely
on the wiidom and justice ot thoso lV.v
ors to respect tho system of nou-iutcrfcr-enco
which has so long been sanctioned
by time and whioh by its good results,
has approred itself to both continents.
Thu correspondence between the United
States aud France in relureocc to questions
which havo become subjects of discussion
between thu to Governments will at a
proper timo ho laid before congress.
When ou the organization of ouv govern
ment under the Constitution the President
of the United States delivered his inaugu
ral address to the twu Houses of Congress
ho said to them and thiough them to the
country and to mankind that ''the preser
vation of tho suered fire ot liberty and
the destiny of tho republicau model of
government are justly considered deeply
perhaps as finally staked on tho experi
ment intrusted to tho American people. '
And the House of lleprasentitives answer
ed Washington by the voico of Madison :
" We adoro tho invisible hand which has
led the American peoplo through so many
difficulties to ohorisb a conscious respon
sibility for the destiny of republican lib

olcar, striking scnlonoes, tho untli.'guiscd
utterances of n4man who thus approcitca
his position aud dutius. Tho stylo of tho
mcsaago pUocs it very far abovo anything
of its kind for many years. It is ablo,
viger6us, aud, us it approaches tho conclu
sion, rises lo eloquence seldom equaled,
pcrhapj never surpassed in any Amcrioan
Stalo paper. It will take rank among
tho noblo documeuls of our history, and
we may bo pardoned tho expression of a

to that style of mcssagu which lias not for
a long peiiod been in uso at Washington,
but whieh will bo acceptable to all cultiva

Tho tono of tho message ia in a high
dogroo satisfactory to patriotic men. Wo
look uithsiucere pleasure on tho repeated
rclercnccs to and quotations from Wash

has fixed his eyes on, aud learned well

He means to bo a disciple and follower of

tho propriety of silenco or speech on ouch

at the firm determination indicated by tho
President; so far as in him lios,to preserve
both the Union and tho States which
iorm the Uuion.
Upou tho Bubjeet of reconstruction he'
draws tho line very plainly between the!
duties) of the Executive nnd tho duties of
Cungross, Ho informs the two Houses of
I Congress that ho has adopted a ccituiti
I geueral hnj of policy, aud liu gives the
fOaSOUS
for it. He does uot say, but ho
leaves it
to be mferred, that the whole
subject of uiilitary(rulc in the Southern
j tstatcs is within his discretion, and that
he tho aots of tho peoplo of the States
The President makes kuowu on what
terms aud under what) guarantees ho pro
puses to withdraw military rule and per.
mit the.exorciae of sclf-governmuut. With
reference to representation in Congress, he
submits that matter to tho Houses where
.( M It ig ,lot within his depart-
... - ..... , .,
ment, and it is within theirs. It would
1 ment, and it is
seem ai if this was about all that is left for
them to attend to.
Ou tho negro question ho states dis
tinctly thu doctrine that tho Oenural Gov
ernment has nothiing to do with tho i lut us
of the negro in tha States, but that this is
purely within tho control of tho peoplo of
mo several otaii.
-)u the great question of tho day, that
whioh throws tho negro into tho shade
(Mr. Sumner aud Mr. Stevens to tho cod-
trary notwitbtauding), the fiuances, tho
, , . , .
tho debt, Mr. Johnson
speaks words ol soberness aud wisdom,
Such words coming from a President
uavo a 500(i 0& s,0uud that is pleasant to
our ears- Wc need not point out to our
readers how thoroughly ho expresses ideas
and iueuloates duties which wo have been
for months urging as tho necessary and
practicable steps toward a redeomablo cur
rency. Stop extravagant expenses, check
tho outgoing stream aud show an income
greater than tho necessary disbursements
ol tbu government. This is tho first groat
step in tho right direction.
Upou our foreign relations the message
is suggestive. When we havo the corres
pondence with France, to whioh allusion is
mado, wo shall know more about that.
Tho oourso of Great Britain is character
ized in a few strong sentences which arc
j legible and intelligible to nil who know the
language. In theso few clear phrases he
sums up the whule story of tho long cor
respondence. Wo shall not attompt any digest of tho
inossago. Every one will read it carfully
and thoroughly. Tho concluding portions!
aro eloquent and imprcssivo, full of prom
ise, hope-giving and oheerful. Wc do
uot look 011 tho bright side so steadfastly
as to adopt tlio views or accept tho proph
ecics of Iho President in all their length j
and breadth. But wo hope with him and 1
aro ready to work with him, for their ful-,
filuiout. May he bo correct, und realize ,
his expectation!, .Ho will not, unless sua-'
taincd iu the course ho has marked out,
by the people of tha wholu country. Wo I
foresee that ho will need support against 1
some of tho moo who placed him in power,
If he pursues tho general policy laid down ,
in this message, firmly adhering to tho
Conititution, and opposing with oalm front
tho revolutionists who would still divido
tho Union, ho will not lack that support 1
from many of his own party and from tbo
men who opposed his election,
