since my last annual Message. Causes of coin
. plaint-se-that time existed tetw. en the United
Siete, and Great Britain, which, attended by irri
tating circumstances, threatened most seriously
the public peace. The difficulty of adjusting ain
•
/ably the questions at issue between the two
• :on:mines, was, in no small ungri e, augmented by
tbe-hipde of timenince they had their origin. The
opinions-entertained by the Executive on several
of the hailing topics in dispute, were frankly set
- forth in the Message at the opening of your late
session. The appointment of a speci,l minster
bY Great Britain to the U. States with power to
negotiate upon most of the points of differenee, in- -
. -dictated o desire on her part amicably to adjust
. them, and that minister was met by the Executive
tn the same spirit which bad dictated his ill I tqa D
The Treaty consequent thereon, having.been duly
;vilified by the twu Governments, t. copy, togeth •
cr. - with the cerreepondenee which accompanied it,
is, herewith, communicated. I trust that whilst
you may see in it nuth.ng cinema' nble, it may
be the means of preserving, for an indefinite pert
, ofi,the °lineable relations happily existing between
the two Governments. The question of peace or
war between the United states and Great Britain,
• is a question of the deepest interest nut only to
themselves, but to the civilized world, since it is
scarcely possible that a war could exist between
then' without endangering the peace of Christen.
ADIZI. The immediate effect of the Treaty upaa
• onmelves will be felt in the security affirded to
,mercantile enterprise, which, no linger apprehen
, • sive of interuption, adventures its speculations in
Abe-Most distant seas; and, freighted with the di.
versified productions ofevery land, returns to bless
our' own. There is nothing in the Treaty whic h ,
in the slightest degree, compromits the honor
: or dignity of either nation. Next to the settic m^nt
nf the boundary line, a hie!, must always be a mat
ter ofdiffieulty bet wi en Stales as well us individu,
ale, the question which seemed to threaten great,
est embar,assment, was that connected with the
African slave trade.
By the 10th article of the Treaty of Ghent, it
was expressly declaredjthat "whereas the traffic
in slaves is irrecoi ci able with the principles of
humanity and justice; an I whereas both His Ma
jesty and the United States are desirous of c - ntin
wring their efforts to pronioto its entire abolition,
it is hereby ogre. d that both the contracting par
film shall use their best endeavors to accomplish
IM - desirable as object." In the enforcement o f
the laws and treay stipulations of Great Britain,
a practice Mid threatened to grow upon the part
of its cruisers of sul jeetingao.visitati m ships sai
liog under the American flag, which, while it se
riously involved our maritime rights, would sub•
jest to vexation a brine h of our trade which wa.
- daily increasing, and which ri quirt(' the 10:tering
care of the Government. And altheui,h Lord A
herdeen, in his correspondence with the Amen
• can Envoys, at London, expressly d all
right to detain an A mericun ship nu the high seas,
4 fiiien - if found with a cargo of slaves en bourd,and
-"f 'mantled tbeßritish pretension to a r,iere claim to
and enquile, yet it eiruld not well be discern
-611 ::by the .Executive of the United States how
rvisitend enquiry could be made without de ,
*anti= at the voyage, and consequent interrup
' Won to`the trade. It was regarded as the right of
presented only in a new form, and centres
sied in different words; and 1 theref re felt it to
be my duty distinctly to declare, in my annual
message - to Congress, that no such concession
could be made, and that the United States had b.ttli
- ibe will and the ability to enreree their own laws,
and protect their flag fi am being u,ed tor purpoe.
,us wholly forbidden by those laws, and obnoxious
to the moral censure of the em Taking the
Message as his letter of instructions,our then MM.
titer at Paris felt himself required to assume the
same ground in a remonstrance which he felt it
obe his duty to present to M. Cu-izot, and thro'
him to the King of the French, against whit has
been. called the Quintuple treaty; and his conduct
lir this respect, met with the approval of tine Go
kieinment. Inclose conformity with these views,
tbeeighth article of the Tres. , y was framed,which
- provides that "each nation shall keep afloat in the
African seas a force not less than eighty guns, in
itot imparately and apart, under instructions from
cher respeeture Governments, and for the enforce
gient of their respective laws and obligations."—
Frani this it will he seen that the ground assumed
la the Messege a been fully maintained, at the
gam++ time that the stipulations of the Treaty of
Ghent are to be carried out in good faith by
the two countries, and that al/ pretence is removed
sir.ieterferenee with our commerce for any {Air
time whatever by a foreign Government. While,
therefore, the -United States have been standing
up for the freedom of the seas, they have not. tha't
'proper-to make that a pretext for avoiding a ful
filment of their 'Treaty stipulations; or a ground
forgiving countenance to a trade reprobated by
Our laws. A similar arrangement by the other
great posters, could not fail to sweep from the o.

greatly to retard pro;Visions for a just indemnity for loss

can thrive undsr it. The prudent capitalist will
never adventsre his capital in tn , strulacturing es
tablishments, er in any other leading pursuit in
life, if there exists a state of uncertainty as to
whesher the government will repeal tomorrow
what it has enacted Co-day. Fitful profits, how
ever high, if threatened with a ruinous reduction,
by a vacillating policy on the part of the govern.
ment, will scarcely tempt him to ti ust the money
which he has acquired by u life of labor, upon the
uncertain adventure. I, therefore, in the epiiit of
concliation, and influenced by no other considera
tion than to rescue the great interests of the coun
try from the vortex of political commotion, and in
the discharge of the high and solsmii duties of the
place which I now occup •, recommend moderate
duties imposed with a wise di•crimina.tion of their
several objects, as being not only most likely to be
durable, but advantageous to every interest of so
ciety.
The report of the Secretary of the War Depart
ment exhibits a full and very satisfactory account
of the various and important interests committed
to the charge of that officer. It is particularly
gratifying to find that the expenditures for the
military service are greatly reduced in amount—
that a strict system of economy has beeh introdu
ced into the-service, and the abuses of past years
greatly reformed. The fortifications on our ma
ritime frontier have been prosecuted with much
vigor, and at many points our defences are in a
very considerable state-of forwardness. The sug
gestions in reference to the establishment ofmeans
of communication with our territories on the Pa
cific, and to the surveys so essential to a know
ledge of the intermediate couritu, are entitled to
the most favorable consideration. While I would

In the solemn cenvicti, n of these trnths,
and with an ardent desire to meet the pres
sing necessities of the country, I felt it to
be my duty to cause to be submitted to
you, at the commencement of your late
session, the plan of an Exchequer, the
whole power and duty of maintaining
which, in purity and vigor, was to be ex
ercised by the Representatives of the Peo
p'c and the States, and, there ore, virtually
by the People themselves. It was propos
ed to place under the control and direction
of a Treasury Board, to consist of three
Commissioners, whose duty •it should ..1::!e
to see that the law of its creation was faith•
fully executed,"and that the great end - of
supplying a paper medium of exchange, at
all times convertible into gold and silver,
should be attained.
The board thus constituted, was given as much
prrmenency as could be im-parted to it, without en
angering the proper share of responsibility which
should attach to all public agents.: Tn crrder to in
sure all the advantages Of a well matured experience,
the Commissioners were to hold their offices for the
respective periods of two, four and six years, there
by aecuring at all times in the management of the.

The theory of our in.titiumns would lead us to a d 1.

proceeding so reckless, would op Inend to •ex'st io
the very nature of things. The political patty
which should be so blind , to the true interes'AOl the
country, as to reset tto such an expedient, wt
inevitably meet with a final mettutow in the-fact
that, the moment the paper ceased to be convertible:
into specie, or otherwise promptly redeeintd, it
would become worthless. and would, in the end, dis
honor the Government, imolve the people in ruin,
and such political patty in hopeless disgrace. At'the

There call he I,u• three kinds of public currency.
list • Gold and silver; 2d. The paper of State insti
unions; or, 3d. A representative of the pre.;ions
metals provided by the general Gove nment, -or tin
der its authority. The Sub-Treasury system re•
jected the last in any form; and as it was believed
that nn reliance could be placed on the issues of lo
cal institutions, for the purposes of genet al circula
tion, it necessarily and unavoidably adopted specie
a. the exclusive currency for its Own use. And
this mint ever be the case unless one of the other
kinds are used. The choice, in the preset state of
public seutiment,, lies between an exclusive 'specie
currency on the one hand, m.d Government issues of
gums kind on the other. That these isines cannot

.fircctly by Government agents. For several , years
