ro via HOW* of fiepresentatires of the U. Stoles :
I transmit to the House of Representa
tives in answer to a resolution of that body,
passed on the 81st of December last, the
wecompaying reports of Heads of Depart
vents, which contain ail the official infor
mation in the possession of the Executive
asked for by the resolution.
On coming into office I found the mili
tary commandment of the department of
California exercising the functions of Civil
Governor in that Territory, and, left as I
was to act under the treaty of Guadalupe
llidalgo, without the aid ninny legislative
provision establishing a Government in
that territory, I thought it beat not to dis
turb that arrangement, made under my pre
decessor, until Congress should have ta
ken some action on that subject. I there- t
fore did not interfere with the powers of
the military commandant, who continued
to exercise the functions of civil governor
as before, but I made no such appointment,
conferred no such authority, and have al
lowed no increased compensation to the
commandant for his services.
With a view to the faithful execution of
the Treaty, so far as lay in the power of
the Executive, end to enable Congress to
act at the present session with as full know
ledge and as little difficulty as possible on
all matters of interest in these Territories,
I sent the Hon. THOMAS Strrtza Kftvo as
bearer of despatches to California, and cer
tain officers in California and New Mexico,
whose ditties are particularly defined in the
accompanying letters of instruction, ad
dressed to them severally by the proper
Departments.
I did not hesitate to express to the people
of those Territories my desire that each
Territery should, if prepared to, comply
with the requisitions of the Constitution of
the United States, form a plan of a State
Constitution, and submit the same to Con
gress, with . a prayer for admission into the
a
Union as State ; but I did not anticipate,
suggest, or authorize the establishment of
any such Government without the assent
of Congress, nor did I authorize any Gov
ernment agent orofficer :o interfere with or
exercise any influence or control over the
election of Delegates, or over any conven
tion, in making or modifying their domes
‘lrtniiiitutions. or any of the provisions of
their proposed constitution. On the con
trary, the instructions given by my orders
were that all measures of domestic policy
adopted by the people of California, must
originate solely with themselves; that
while the Executive of the United States
was desirous to protect them in the forms
tion of any Government, republican in its
character, to be at the proper time submit
ted to Congress, yet it was to be distinctly
understood that the plan of such a Govern
ment, must at the same time be the result
of their own deliberate choice, and origi
nate with themselves, without the interfer
ence of the Executive.
J am unable to give any any information
as to laws passed by any supposed Gov
ernment in California. or of any census
taken in either of the Territories mention,
ed in the resolution, as I have no informa
tion on those subjects.
As already stated, I have not disturbed
the arrangement which 1 found had exis
ted under my predecessor.
In advising an early application by the
people of these Territories for admission
as States, I was actuated principally by an
earnest desire to afford to the wisdom and
patriotism of Congress the opportunity of
avoiding occasions of bitter and angry
dissensions among the people of the United
States.
Under the Constitution every State has
the right of establishing, and from time to
time altering, its municipal laws and domes
tic institutions, independently of every oth-
er State and of the General Government. I
subject only to the prohibitions and guar
antics I!
expressly set forth in the Constitu
tion of the United States. The subjects
thus left exclusively to the respective
States, were not designed or expected to
become topics of national agitation. Still,
as, 'under the Constitution, Congress has
power to make all needful rules and regu
lations respecting the Territories of the
United States, every new acquisition of
Territory has led todiscut;sions on the ques
tion whether the system ofin:•oluntary eer
y itude, which prevails in many of ti:C States,
should or should not be prohibited in that
Territory. The periods of excitement from
this cause which have heretofore occurred
have been safely passed, but during the in
terval, Of whatever length, which may e
lapse before the admission of the Territor
ies ceded by Mexico as States, it appears
probable that similar excitement will pre
vail to an undue extent.
Under these circumstances, I thotigbt,
and still think, that it was my duty to en-1
deavor to put it in the power of Congress,
by the admission of California and New
Mexico as States, to remove all occasion
for the unnecessary agitation of the public
mind.
It is understood that the people of the
western part of California have formed a
plan of a state Constitution, and will soon
submit the same to the judgment of Con-
Fres*, and apply for admission as a Slate.
Phis course on their part, though in accor
dance with, was not adopted exclusively
in consequence of any expression of my
wishes. inasmuch as measures tending to
this end had been promoted by the officers
sent there by my predecessor, and were'
already in active progress of execution be
fore any communication from me reached
California. If the proposed constitution
shall, when subinimed to Congress, be found'
to be in compliance with the requisitions
of the Constitution of the United States, I
earnestly recommend that it may receive I
the sanction of Con gress .
The part of California not included in
the proposed State of that name, is belies
c+! tobe uninhabited, except in a settlement
of our (vestrymen in the vicinity of Salt
Lake.

has formed a plan of a State Government
for that Territory,_ as ceded by the treaty
, of Guadalur'Hidilgo, and had been ad
-1 mined by Congress as t State, our Con
ititnt;.ou would: have afforded' the means
of Obtaining an adjustment of of the ques
tion of boundary With Texas by a judicial
'decision. At present, however, no judi
i Mal tribunal has the power of deciding that
l question, and it remains for Congress to
I devise some mode for its adjustment.
1 —
Meanwhile, I submit to Congress the ques
tion, whether it would be expedient, before
such adjustment, to establish a Territorial
Government, which, by including the dis
trict so claimed, would practically decide
' the question adversely to the State of Tex
as, or, by excluding it, would decide it in
her favor. In my opinion, such a course
would not he expedient, especially as the
people of this Territory still enjoy the
benefit and protection of their municipal
laws, originally derived from Mexico, and
have a military force stationed there to
protect them against the Indians. It is.un
doubtedly true that the property, lives,
liberties, and religion of the people of New
Mexico, are better protected than they ev
er were before the treaty of cession.
Should Congress, when California shall
present herself for incorporation into the
Union, annex a condition m her admission
as a State, affecting her domestic institu
tions contrary to the wishes of her people
and even compel her temporarily to com
ply with it, yet the State could changeher
constitution at any time, after admission.
when to her it should seem expedient.—

A FOREIGN MARKET A HUMBUG!
One of the inert Striking illustrations of
the fallacy of the toe oloeo doctrine of
looking to foreign nations for a market for
our agricultural productions, is afforded in
the present position of the neighboring
provinces of Canada and New,finmswick.
They have always had the trek:dem of the
British market on terms far more favor
able than the farmers of the United
States. In return they receive: all their
manufactures from abroad—and thus bar•
ing no home market, wheat, corn, and oth
er agricultural products are generallY one
third cheaper in Canada than in the .United
States. It is this which makesthe farmers
of Canada so anxious for annexation to the
United States. They desire to get rid of
this very British influence which the Lo
cofoco party are striving to fasten upon
this nation. They long fora participation
in the benefits of the home market, created
by the growth of manufacturee in the Vui.

Ate poEcy of their goverment, tgiestiblish
manuraztures and create a marfet
their own b o ;ders, by which they will be
rendered independvit of foreign influence,
and hence they are Innzbly knoelting for

THE JACKSON STATILIILThe equestrian
statue of Gen. Jackson will soon be corn
pleted and pared on a pedestal In 'Daisy
end square, opposite the President's house
at IVashington. The propogions of this
statue are colossal, and the figure is thrown
into a very striking attitude. It differs
from other equestrian statues in the partic
ular of the horse being sell-poised. In
that of Peter the Great the horse is sup
ported in his position by fastening the tail
to the pedestal. This statue is the first
of bronze ever made in this country, and, it
is said, will reflect great credit on the artist,
who is a young American of great genius,
Mr. CLARK Mims. The work was order
ed by the Democratic Association of Wash
ington, and the goverment furnished the
material in several pieces of cannon that
were taken from the British at New

Massa& Entrees:—Toe State Treasurer Is
elected and the Democracy have cooled down to
their 'original disposition." This contest exhib.
its the uncertainty of political movements. The
friends of Mr. Plumes. were confident of his suc
cess t Mr. Penniman was satisfied that the office
sou his, and Mr. Kane felt sure that he could
beat them both. Mr. Miller, fortunately for him
self, early in the week discovered the futility of
his effort, and gave up in despair. I think it not
unlikely, had Mr. Plumer been on the ground in
person, that he would have been accessfu I --his
friend!, however, acted for loin. As it was, mem•
ben were very much divided in their preferences—
and twelve ballots were necessary before a major
-1 ity was secured in caucus, 38 votes being requisite
for a choice. On one ballot Mr. P. bad 28 votes,
and the faltering of the members from two dis
tricts. whose votes wore confidently relied upon
by his friends, prevented his seleition. On the
twelfth ballot, by compromise, John M. Bickel, of
Scbaylkill, late of Berke county, received a ma
jority of all the votes, and was duly declared the
Democratic candidate. On Monday the two boil.
is. of the Legislature met in the Hall of the House,
and proceeded to the election of Treasurer. But
one ballot was bad, the vote standing—J. M. Bick
el, 74 : Gideon J. Ball, 50. Mr. Bickel takes
charge of the office in May. It is rumored that
Asa Dimock is to be his Cashier.
The hill to increase the salaries of certain offi
cers of the Government, passed the Senate on Sat
urday by a vote of 18 to 12. it was discussed in
that body for several days, and several efforts
were made to amend IL Had this been avow
plished and the bill have gone beck to the Henn,
it would have &tiled. Several members of the
letter body expressed a desire to change their
votes on the journal, from affirmative to negative,
after the bill bad gone to the Senate, but it was
decided out of order. The Bill is now a law. It
takes effect is to the Auditor General and State
Treasurer from the date of the passage of the act
creating a sinking fond, and as to the other two
officers from the present time.
The Senate and Howe met in the Hall of the
House to-day. for the purpose of allotting the
State Printing to the lowest bidder, for thogi years
from the first of July next. An act of 1844 fixes
the price of printing at • certain amount and re
quires the allotment to be made to the person who
will do the work at the greatest deduction from
that amount. IfKinfey and Lemont, who have
the Stets Printing now, do it eta deduction of 85
per cent. They this year bid at a deductien of 76
per rent, as it was desirable the job should be in
the hands of a Gemocritic company. Their per.
poses were however ?nitrated, as it appeared that
Thee: Fenn & Co. bid et a deduction of 81 per
cent, and caniequently were entitled to the eon
tract. Gan. PIIISLIM however, did not relish this
proceeding, and moved to postpone the allotment
for two weeks, hot it was decided out of order,
and Mr. Lean gave the moire() securities.
The Litton, Committee made report on Timm

The Senate, as usual, adjourned over from
Thursday to Monday, and did not sit on Friday
and Saturday. The Hosea of Representatives, on
Friday, put an end to the straggle for the offices
by adopting a resolution oTered by Mr. °Regimen
that the election of Doorkeeper and Poet-Master
be powponed until the Ist of March, MI. This
was agreed to by a vow of 100 to 99. Mr. Ash
man immediately moved to reconsider the vote,
and then moved to ley his owe motion on the ta
ble--his object being to male the matter at once.
The Lot:dotes, with a view of postponing a final
vote to give time for absent mambas to come in,
moved a call of the House, pending which the
House adjourned.

Mr. Ashman objected to the resolution as being
out of order. The Speaker decided that it was in

Mr. Carignan gave notice of hie intention to
debate the mange on Tuesday.
In the Senate, on Monday, Mr. Foote's remain
lion declaring that it is expedient for Congress to
establish territorial governments for California,
sent and New Mexico, was taken up.
Mr. Cava spoke at length on the subject. He
defined the duty and power of Cowers over ter
ritories. end the difference between instituting a
territorial government and legislating for a terri
tory. The v;oril territory, as' used in the Consti.
ution, Wee intended to be •ppled to poll, and not
to communities springing op on it. The power
to make needfial rules and regulations applied to
territory as property. Exclusive jurisdiction over
land did not imply a right to make laws for people,
or to dispose of people or property.
The doctrine carried ns back to the middle ages,
where the right of lord was every thing, end the
right's of man nothing.
The ehiu4, in the eonstjtation gave Congress
simply the right to sell the hind. Re did not be-
liesu that Congress had power to cede territory
;Weis in settiiiig a boundary line; but if the doc
trine of absolute and unlimited jurisdiction would
permit Congress to sell and alieniate territory, the
powers of the new States depended no mono on
Congress than the power. of the old Suites; both
depended on the constitution.
Congress could under the constitutional power
to mike needful rules and regulations, establish
territorial governments ; but when the laud was
sold, the U. 8. Government had no wow power
over it. If power over public land gave Congress
power over the people, then Congress would have
power over the States, where the Government hid
'pablic land. Mr. Cass, without concluding, gave
way to a motion to adjourn.
On Tuesday Mr. Cam relearned his speech. ar
guing the uneonatitutionalily and impollicy of the
Wilmot Proviso, and declaring his intention to
resign his seat in the Senate rather than vote for
its application to any of the territories. tie had
been instructed by the Legislators of Michigan to
vote for the Proviso, and be believed in the right
of imernetion, but be could not act in opposition to
his own convictions of right. When, therein, the
time shall come, when the question for the adop
tion of Ms Wilmot Proviso is presented, he will
know bow to reconcile his duty to the Legit;haunt
with his duty to himself by surrendering a trod he
can no lonpr fulfil
Mr. Cam having concluded, Mr. Butler secured
the Boor, and the subject was passed over.
Mr. Seward pee notice eir his intantion to more
an amendment to Mr. Foote's Territorial Mll, so
es to incorporate in it the Wilmot Proviso.
In the Home, Mr. Clingmen opened the debate
on the President's California ineseege, and ad
dressed the House in a violent pro Slavery speech,
in which he recited the wrongs of the South and
called upon the Southern members to stand up with
hint and reline to do any thing until this Slesery
question is decided. In this way the wheels of
Government would be stopped, and the Noah be
compelled to yield !
Mr. Howard, of Two. followed 011 the Nana

Resolved. That the decease, by his un
iformly kind and courteous deportment
towards the Court and the Bar, and hie
frank and gentlemanly bearing in social
intercourse, had won a high place in our
regard and affection, as his eminent qual
ities as a jurist had acquired for him a die

he was a brilliant ornament.

MRS. ADAMS, 126th street, Harlem, stiffer
ed a year with s cough, pain in the chest, night
sweats, and all the aggravated symptoms of Con
sumption ; nothing relieved her till she tried
Shermanhir - Bateirn—half a bottel cured her.
ULCERATED LUNGS AND LIVER.
M. E. T. Lawrence, Jackson street, Brook
lyn, alter years of suffering, and treated by va
rious physicians, was pronounced incurable from
ulcerated lunge and liver.
DYING,
is was supposed. he tried the Balsam ; its effects
were most miraculous ; two bottles cured him.
PLEURISY AND CONSUMPTION.
Mrs. Aeggas, residing at 88 Sheriff:street, 70
years old, has been subject to attacks of pleurisy
and consumptive eougha for years. The Balsam
has saved her from very great suffering.
ASTHMA AND CONSUMPTION.
L. J. Peels, 19 Delaney street, gave it to hie
sister-in law who had been an invalid for years
from asthma ; to another considered as in con
sumption. It relieved them at once, so that they
travelled several hundred miles.
SPITTING BLOOD
Is alwes alarming. It leads to the worst kind
of Consumption, and unless arrested in time is
generally fatal. Sherman's All-Healing Balsam
is the best remedy known; it heals the wound•
eil or ruptured blood vessels of tie lungs, and
:hereby effects a permanent cure, while other
remedies only stop the blood for the time. A
few doses of this Balsam will satisfy the most
skeptical that it is the medicine required. It has
been successful in many cases, and that, too,
where they had run into a rapid decline, or, as
more generally expressed,"HASTY CONSUMP
TION." Young persons. or those of middle age,
are more subject to these attacks than the aged.

THE BEST LARD LAM .

riltllE subscribers take this method of
I informing the public, that they are
manufacturing a new style :of' L:A R D
L A M P—the invention of the seniotfiart
ner. and for which they are about °blinking
a Patent. This Lamp, it is confidently
predicted, will satisfy the wants of the
public, in the "light' line, and the atten
tion of those using lard for this purpose is
asked to it. It yields a brilliant and steady
light, while the consumption of birdie' re
markably small—its construction is neat
and does not require the contend attention
bestowed upon those heretofore used.—
So that, taking the economy:of the light.
&c., into consideration, this lamp stands
above all others, and should command the
attention of every housekeeper.
Many of our citizens have this lamp in
title, and all cordially unite in ptonduncing
