PITTSBURGH GAZETTE. PUBLISHED.SY VIHTE - Itr ! CO raTIEIXI3:I TUESDAY MORNING. DEC. 3, MO 'P.RESIDENT'S MESSAGE . . Fellow Cleans rJ the Sonars, mid Howe d Repfuentatms 'Being suddenlycalled, in the midst of the last session of by a painful dis pensation of divine Providence, to the re• sponsible station which I now hold, I con tented myself with such communications to, the Legislature as the exigency of the moment aeerned to require. The country was shrouded in mourning for the loss of its 'venerated Chief lylamahate end all hearts were penetrated with rgief. Neither the time nor the occasion appeared to re quint or justify, on my part, any general expression of political opinions, or any an nonnuement of the principles which would govern me in the discharge of the duties to the performance or which I bad been so un expectedly called. 1 trust therefore that it may not be deemed inappropriate, if I avail myself of this opponunity nt the assem bling of Congress to make known my eenti manta, in a general manner, in regard to the policy which ought to be pursued by the tiovetomentf both in its intercourse with toteign nations, and it, its management and adminisuauonol internal stints Nations, like indivoluele to.a state at nn tore, are Neal and indeleLuelent,possesaing -certain rights, end owing Certain duties to each other, arising from their necessary and unavoidable rotenone which rights and dn. • ties there is no common human authority to 'protect and enforce. Still, they are rights ; Auld duties, binding in morals, in and in honor, although there is no tribunal •to which an injured party' can appeal ' , but the disinterested judgement of mankind, and ultimately the arbitrament of the sword. • • Among the acknowledged rights of na tions, is that whictreach possesses of eatab fishing that form of government which it may deem most conducive to the happiness and prosperity of its own citizens; of chug• mg that form, as circumstances may require; and of managing its internal affairs accord ing to its own will. The people of the Uni ted States claim this right for themselves, and they readily concede it to others. Hence it becomes an imperative duty not to inter fere in the government or internal policy of other nations; and, although we may sym • pathite with the unfortunate or the oppress ed, every where, in their struggles for free. dom, our principles turbid us from taking any lie in such foreign contests We make no ware to promoteor to prevent nieces:dons to thrones; to maintain way the nay of a balance of power; or to suppress the actual government which any country chooses to establish lot itself. We loannina no revolutions, nor sutler any hostile milita ry expeditions to be tutted out in the United States to invade the territory or provinces of a iriendly nation. The great law of moral ity Might to have a national as well as a personal runt individual application. We should net towards other nations as we wish them to act towards us; and justice nod con science should form the rule of conduct be tween governmerdA, instead of mere power, self interest, or the desire of awrandizemeut. To maintain a strict neutrality in foreign wars, to cultivate triendlVrelatione, to recip rocate every noble and generous WS, and to perform punctually and scrupulously every treaty onhnntou—these are iheduties Which we owe to other Stales, and by the perform ance of wnich we beat entitle ourselves to like treatment loom them Ur, if that, in any Once, ha refused, we can enforce our own rights with justica and a clear conscience. lu ithr demotic porter, me Comnitution wit he .y go .1 sad in one awns of dont.t, I shall tool for Its intorprelation to tee iudioal deendeof cf that tetional. whien Wan eptablithed. to expound it, and to the usage or th e yoVarn wont, .unction ed by to sego:cane:leo of toe ono ..tra erg tot till no prosuedna on eqoally au all do parts it is the w,ll of Lilo people. expressed to the woe 'Memo fine, and the coustauted cuthori.

The Government of the United States is a lini• lied Oaverninent It i s confined to the exercise ot powers eaprously granted, and such others as may tic necassary far carrying those powers into edery, and ft is at all tunes on especial deny to guard against any infringement on the just tights of tl o States Over the objects and einbjects intrusted to Congress, its leg Motive authority is supren.e. But hare that authority ceases, and every citizen who truly loves the Constituboa ' sod desires the roil. tinuanco of its existence and its blessings, will re solutely and firmly resist any interference to those domestic •Ilairs, which the Constitution hat Masi'. ly end mournivoraliy lett to the exclusive author ity of tbu-Saates.

The beauty or MU loyal./ 01 of Government contista, and ns safety sail durs• bility meat consist, in •voollog mutual collinams and eneraachntents, mod to the regular *entrain adieu of all. while mach It revolving in Its own distinct-orbit. The Constitution has made it the deity of the President to take cam that the law. be faithfully executed - to a Government like ours, in which all area ere panted by a majority of the Represn, tatters 01 the peop'e,s nd these representatives err chosen for 10011 short periods, that soy tolll,low or obnosinus law can very soon be repealed, it would appear unlikely that an* great numbers should be bond ready to resin the execution or the laws.

The law Is the only sore pro• teellon of the weak, and the on y efficient fc. Wang upon the strong.

We are at peace wen .It nations, and we enjoy in all eminent drirree the biesilep of that peace, in &prosperous' and grow ing commerce, and in all the Emma of amicable national intexcourse. The unexampkil growth of the ma'am, the present amount of its population, and its limpid moaned self protection, assure for it the respect of all nations • while Ills trusted that its character forjastice, itnd ' • regard to the rights of other States, will cause that respect tabs readi. ly and cheerfully paid. • A Convention was negotiated between the Coi led States and Great Britain, In April last, for ft titillating and protecting the construction of • ship canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Deese', and for purposes.

What thamanufacturer Mani., is uniformity and permanency, that he may keel s sonfulcoca that he is not to be ruined by sudden changes. But to make a tariff uniform and per. moment, It is not only ticceswiry that the low should not be altered, but that the duty should nut ducalate. To effect this, all duties uhouldbe spe cific wherever the nature of the article Is suet, Ist to admit of it. Ad valorem duties fluctuate wnb the price, and once strong temptaitiona to fraud and perjury. Specific denies, on the cordrarry, ew equal and uniform in all ports, and at all times, and oder a wrong inducement to the imparierio bring tan best article, an he gays no more duty up ea 'h al than upon One Of ioraior quality) I therefore strongly recommend a moth fication of the present tariff, which has Prostrated some of oar most important and necessary manufactures, and that specific duties be imposed sufficient to raise tho requisite revenue, making such diacrimine• tion in favor of the industrial pursuits of our OWlTcoonuy as to encourage home produc ' tion without excluding foreign competition. It is also important that an unfortunate pro visicm in the present tariff which imposes a much higher duty upon the raw material that enters into oar manufactures, than up. cm the manufactured article, shou ld be rem edied. tbThe papers aceoutpanying the report of e Secretary of the Tresstuy, will in frauds attempted upon the revenue, in vari ety and extent ao great, as to jtuitify the con. elusion that it is impossible, under any sys tem of ad valorem duties levied upon tte foreign cost or value of the article, to secure an honest observance and an effectual se ministration of the laws. The fraudulent devices to evade the law, which have been detected by the vigilance of the appraisers, leave no room to doubt that similar impositions, not discovered, to a' large amount, have been successfully prat. need since the enactment of the law now in force. This state of things .has already bad a prejudicial in fl uence upon those en gaged in foreign commerce. It has a tea- th l in denc yto drive the hones t trader fr the business of importing, and to throw - int; portant branch of employment into the • de of unscrupulous and dis' honest .nuteF are alike regardless - of law and the • • tiara of an oath. By dune means plain intentions of Congress, as expressed n the Law, are deny defeated. Every mot,Ve of policy and duty, therefore, impel me o ask the earnest attention of Congrem to thiliarb ject. If Coupe's should deem it =Wise to attempt any important dumps in the ®stem of levying duties, at this session, it VII be. come indispensable, to the protectionFof the revenue, that such remedies, as in thequdg -ment of Congress may mitigate *begonia complained of, should be at once applied. As before stated, specie duties woul d ' In option, afford the moat perfect remedpfor tine evil; but, If you should not concur in this view, then, ne a partial remedy, I beg leave respectfully to recommend that, Instead i f taking theinvoice of the allele abroad as • means of determining Its vane here, the Correctiteve of which beetle., it i• la many cues Impartible to verify, the law be as changed as to require a home valuation or appra lad, to be regulated In such manner as to give, as 'far as practicable, uniformity in the several ports.
