The present insurrection shows, I think,
that the extension of this distribt across the
Potomac Diver, at the time of esbibli t shing the
• capital here, was min en tly Wise'; and, rouse-
, nentlY. that the relinvishment of that pm•-
tion
of it which lies in 'thnState of Virginia
was unwise and dangerous. 1 submit for j
y our consideration the expediency oNegain
lag-that part - of the district, and the restora
tion of the original boundaries thereof, through
negotiations with the State of Virginia.
The report of the Secretary of the Interior,
with the accompanying document ~exhibits
the condition of the several branches of the
public business pertaining to that department.
The depressing influences of 'the insurrection
havelbeen especially-felt in the operations of
. the Patent and General Land-Uflices., The
cash receipts from the sales of public I.nds
during the past year have excFeded the c.x
.penses of our land system only •about $200.-
000. The sales have been entirely suspended
in the Sotithern States, while the intl..rruptions
to the business of the country and the diver
sion of large numbers of men Rani labor to
military service have obstructed settlements
in the new States and Territories of the North-
West. The receipt's of the Patent 011 ice have
declined in lune months ahem sloo,ooo. ren
dering a large reouctiou of the force emplo3-
cd necessary to make it self-sustaining.
The demands upon the Pension-Office will
he largely increased 1. y the insurrection.'
Numerous npplieations for pensions based]
upon the casualities of the existing war have;
nlrendly been made. There is reason to believe I
that many who are now upon the pension -roll,
and in receipt of .the bounty of the Govern
went, are in the racks of the insurgent army,
Air giving them aid and comfort. The Secre- •
tary of the Interior has directed a suspension
of the payment of the pengions of such per-1
sons. upon proofof their disloyalty.. I recom
mend that
,Cov,ress authorize that officer to'
n
cause thenames of such pelicans to lie strick
en from the pensbm-roll.
The relations of the tiorfernment with the
Indian tribes have been grqatly disturbed by
the insurrection, especially Ia the Sontitern
rtiperintendency, and in that of New 'Mexico.
.The Indian country South of Kansas is in
possession of the insurgents Irma and
ArkanSas. The Agents of the United StateS,
appointed since the 4th of March for this su
perintendency, have been linable to renal
their posts, waffle the most of those who were
in office before that time have espoused, the
insurrectionary cause and assume to exercise
the powers of agents by x;irtue of commissions
from the insurrectionists, it has been stated
in the public press that a portion of these In
dians have been organized as a military force,
and attached to the army of the insurgents.
Although the Government has no official in
formation upoii the subject, letters have been
written to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
IT several prominent chiefs, giving stssnrance
of their loyalty to. the United States, and ex
pressing a wish for the presence 'of the red
.-rat, troops to protect them. It is believed
that, upon the repossession of the country by.
Inc Federal forces, the Indians Will rapidly
cease all hostile demonstrations, and resume
their former relations to the Government.
Agriculture, confessedly the largest interest
of the nation, has not a department nor a bu
reau, but a clerkship only, assigned to it-in
'the Government. While it is lortnuate that
This peat interest is so independeOt, in its Ha
ture.as not to have demanded and extorted
more front the Government. 1 respectfully ask
Congress to consider whether something more
cannot be given Voluntarily with general nd
t altage. Annual reports exhibiting the con
dition of our agriculture, commerce, ond man
ufactures would present a fuml of information
of great practicalvalue to the country-. While
I make no suggestion as to detail;,-1 veoture
the opinion that an Agricultural anil
_tics! Bureau might profitably be organized.
The execution of the laws for. the suppres
sion of the African slaveJtrade has been con
fided to the Department of the Interior. It is
a subject of congratulation that t: e efforts
which have been made for the suppression of
thisinhutnan traffic have been recently attend
ed with unusual sueces. Five vessels being
fitted out for.the'•slave-trade have been seized
and condemned. Two Mates engaged in the
trade and one person in equipping a vesA•l as
n slaver have been tonvicted :Ina subjected
to the penalty of fine and imprisonment, and
one captain taken with a cargo, of Africans on
board hiryessel has been. convicted 'of the
highestigrade of offense under our laws, the
punishment of which is death.
The Territories of Colorado, Dakota rt‘ld
Nevada, created by the last Congress have
been organized, and civil administration has
been inaugurated therein under atispiees es
pecially gratifying when it is consider:A that
the leaven of treason was found existing in
some of these new countries when the Federal
officers arrived.there. The abundant natural
resources of these Territories, with the seeuri4
ty and protection afforded by orgtinized gor.
erntnent, will doubtless invite to th.m a large
immigration when peace shall restore time
business of the country to its accustomed
channels. I submit the: resolutiOns of the
Legislature of Colorado, Which evidence the
patriotic spirit of the people of that Territory,
So far,.the andtority of the 'United Stites haS
been upheld in all tit& Territories, as it is
hoped it will be in the . future. I commend
their interests and - defense tethe enlightened
and generous care of Congress.
I recommend to the layorable consideration
of Congress the interests of the District of
Columbia. The insurrection has been the
cause of much sitfibili)g hnd,sacrifce Co its

At your late session's joint resolution hi•tis
adoptcd anthoriling, the President to take
measures fur facilitating a proper representa
tion of the industrial interests of the United
States ni the Exhibition of the Industry of all
Nations.: to be holden ;at London in the year
1802. 1 regret to sari' have been unable to
give persSonal attention to this subject; a sub
ject at once so interesting in itself, and so ex,
tensively and intricately connected with the
material prosperity of the world.' Through
the'plan
of State and,of the Interior, a
plan or system has' been devised and partly,
matured, which will be laid before you.
Under and by virtue of the act of Congress,
entitled : an act to confiscate nrOperty used for
insurrectionary purposes, approved Aug. 6,
.1801, the legal claims of certain persons to the I
labor and services of ;certain other persons
hare been forfeited, ,and numbers of.the
thus liberated, are already dependent 'on
the United States, and must he provided for
in 'some, way. Besides this, it is not impossi
bly that:some of the States will pass similar
enactments for their own benefit respectively,
and by the operation of which persons of the
same cases will be throWn upon them for dis
posal. ;In melt case, I recommend that Con-
cress piovidp /for accepting such persons from
States according to some mode of valuation
in li e n pro/anto of direct taxes, or upon some
Other'plan to be agreed upon with such States
respectively that such persons; en such ac
cept:men by the General Governtneut, be at
t imer , deemed-free, and that in any event steps
he taken for colonizing:both . classes,: or the
one first mentioned if the other shall not be
brought into existencei at some place or places
in a elithate congenial to them. It might he
well to consider, too, Whether the free colored
people already in the :United States could.not,
so flit- as individuals may desire, be included
in such; colonization. To carry out the plan
of colonization may involve , the acquiring ofd
territory, and also the hppropriatton of: money
beyond that to be expended in the territorial
acquisition. Having practised the acquisition
of territory for nearly GO years, the question
of constitutional power to do so is longer
an open one with its. The power was at first
:questioned by Mr. TelTers‘m, who, however,
In the Purchase of Lonllllfna, yielded his scru
ples on; the plea of great expediency. If it be
said that the only legitimhte object of acquir
ing territory is to furnish homes for white men
this measure effects that object, for the emi,
gration of colored.men, leaves additional room
for white !nen . remaining or corning here.
Mr.iletterson, however, placed the iniportanect
of procuring Louisiana more on, and
cuuauercial ground, than on providing room
for population: On this whole proposition, - ;
includi'n; the appropriation of money with thel
acquisition of territory, does not the expedi-:'
out it tnonnt to absolute necessity that - with—,
out which the Government cannor be perpet

lu ecinsidt•iintr,. the policy to be adopted for
suppreving the Insurrection, 1 have heen anx-;
ions cud careful that the inevitable conflict fOr.
this pu'rpose shall not degenerate into a violent
and rethorstlcs revolutionary struggle I have
therefore. in every ease. thought it proper to
keep the integrity of thi. Union prominent as
the primary object of the contest on our part.,'
leaving . all questions which arc nut of vital
military imports nci., to the more deliberate'
action of the legislature.
In the exercise of ny best discretion I have
adhered to the blockade of the ports held by
the hiSurgents instead of patting force by
proclamation ;he law of Congress enacted at
the litte session for closing these ports. Sci
also, obeying the dictates of prudence as well
the obligations of law, instead of transeendin l i
I have' adhered to the act of Congress to con
liscateiproperty used for insurrectionary purl
poses. If a new lao upon the same subject
;'tall be proposed, its propritty will be duly
considered. ,
The linicui must be preserved, and hence all
indispt•nsabfe means 'Must be employed. We
shall not be in haste to determine that radical
and extreme measure, vl ich may reach, the
loyal as well as the dislcyal, are indispensable.
The : lnaugural address at the beginning of
the Administration and the message to Corr
ress at the late special session, were both
mainlikdevoted to the domestic controversy
out of 'Adel] the insurrection and consequent
war hnve sprung.
Nothing more occurs to add or subtract to
pr froM the principles of general purpos.esstai
ed and expressed in that document. The last
ray. of hope for preserving the Union, peacea
bly, qpired at the assault upon Fort Sumter,
and general review of what has occurred
since mar not be unprofitable.
What was painfully uncertain then, is much
bettet defined and more distinct now, and the
progress of events is plainly in the right di
rectiOn. The insurgents confidently claimed
a strong support front North of Mason and Dix
on's line, and the friends of the Union were
not free from apprehension on that point.-4
This, howeVer, was soon settled definitely arid
on tfre right side. -
South of. the line, noble little Delaware led
off right fraiii the first. Marylarrd was made
to seem against the Union. Our soldiers were
assaulted, bridges wer burned, and railroads:
torn, itp within her liMits, and we were many'
days,"at one time; without the ability to bring
a single regiment over her soil to the Capital.
Now her bridges and railroads are repaired
and Open to the Government. She airendy,
;gives seven regiments to the cause.of the Union
;old none to the enmity, and her people at a
regular election have sustained the-Union- by!
a large majority, and a larger. aggregate vote ;
than they- ever before gave to any candidate
on any question.
Kentucky too, for some time in doubt, is
now idecidedly, and, I think, unchangeably,
ranged ou the side of the Union. Missouri is
comparatively quiet, and I believe cannot again'
be overrun by ll the Insurrectionists. These!
three States. orMaryland, Kentucky and Mi.'s
souri, neither. of which would promise a sin-1
gle soldier at first, have now an aggregate of
not less than forty . thousand in the field for]
the Union while of their citizens, certainly not'
mord than a third of that number, and they.of
doubtful whereabouts and doubtful existence,,j
are in arms against it. After a somewhat
bloody strugttle of months winter closes on
the Union people of WestertrVirginia, leaving
then masters of their own country. •
' An insurgent fifteen
the narrow peninsular
reginn of the counties of Accomac and North
. amplon, and known as the Eastern Shore -of
Virginia, together with some contiguous parts
of Maryland, have laid down:fi r ieir arms, and
the people there have' rennivcd their alle
giance to and accepted :the protection of the
old hag. This leaves no armed insurrection
north of the Potomac or east of the Chesa
peake.
Also, we have obtained a footing at each of
the isolated points:on the southern coast of
Hatteras, Port Royal, Tybee Island, near Sa
vannah, and Ship Island; and we' likewise
haVe some general accounts.of popular move
ments in behalf of the Union, in North Hare-
Una ; and - Tennessee. These thing's demon-
strata that the - eauso - of the Union is now ad-
Lancing steadily southward.
Since your last' adjournment, Lieutenant
'General : Scott hat retired from the bead of
the army. During, his long life the nation
has not been -unmindful of his merit. Yet,
on calling, to mind liow faithfully, ably', and
he has served!the country front a
time far back in our history, when few of the
now living had' been Urn, and thenceforward
continually, I cannot but think we are still
his debtors. I submit, 'therefore, for your
consideration,- what farther mark of recogni
tion is due Whim and W. ourselves, as a grate
ful people.
With the -retirement of General Scott, came
the executive duty of appointing in his stead a
General-in-Chief of the army.- Jt is a fortu
nate circumstance that 'neither in council or
country was there, so far as-I know any dif
ference of opihion as to the proper person to
be selected. The retiring Chief repeatedly
expressed his judgment in favor of General
11leyellan fur the position, and this the nation
decreed to give a unanimous, concurrence.
The designation of General :McClellan: is
therefore inn considerable degree; the selec
tion of the country as well. , as the , Executive,
arid hence there is better reason to hope that
there will be given him the confidence and
Cordial support thus, by fair implication,plom—
iced, and without which he candot with so full

that one bad general is better than two good
ones, and the saying is true, if taken to mean
ho more than that our army_is better directed
by a single mind, though inferior, than by
:two superior ones at, variance and cross pur
poses with each other. And the same is true
in all joint observations wherein those engaged

It continues to develop that the insurrection
,is lrirgely,.if not exc]nsively,• a war upon the
first principles' of popular' government—the
rights of the people; Conclusive evidence of
this is found in the most grave and maturely
considered public documents, as well as• to
the general tone of the insurgents...
. -
In these documents we Had the.abridgement
of the existing right of suffrage, and the denial
to the people of all-right to participate in the
selection of public officers. except the Legisla•
ture, boldly advocated with hiliored argu
ments., to prove that large control of the peo
ple in. Government is the source of ad politi
cal evil. Monarchy itself is sometimes limited
ed at as a possible refuge from the power of
the people'.
.In my present position I could scanty be
justified were I to omit raising a warning
voice against this approach of returning des-
It is not needed nor fitting here that a gen
en:l arzument should be made in J'arof of pop
ular institutions. 4ut,there is one point with
its connections, of so hackneyed as most oth
ers. to which I asic-a brief attention.
It is tile ell'ort to place capital on an equal
footing with if not above labor, in the true
tore of the Government. It is assumed that
labor is a vaila Pde only in connection with' cal -
ita I that nobody labors unless somebody else
owning capital,i somehow by the use of it, in
duces him to labor. This resumed. it is next
considered whether it is best that capital shall
hire laborers, and thus induce them to work
by their own consent, or buy them and drive
them to it without their consent.
Baring proceedethso far, it is naturally con
cluded that alOaborers ate either biredlabor
ers or what weTeall slaves. And further, it is
assumed, that whoever is once a hired labor
er is fixed in that condition for life. • Now
there is no such relation between capital and
labor. as assumed, nor is there any such thing
as a free man hieing fixed for life in thelrendi
tion of a hired labdrer. Both these assamp,
tions are'false, and all inferences from, them
are groundless: Labor is prior to and inde.
pendent of capital. Capital is only the fruit
of labor and could never have existed if laboc
had not first existed.
Labor is - the superior of capital and deserres
Much higher eonsideration.f Capital hate its
rights, Which are as wortki of protection as
any other rights. Nor is it denied 'that there
is and probably always will . be a relation be
tween labor and capital. producing mutual
benefits. The error is in assuming that. the
whole labor of the community exists within
that relation._
A few meu.own capital, and that few avoid
labor, or buy another - few to labor fur them.
A large majority, belong to neither elazss,
neither 'work /pr others nor ha-ye others work
.ing fur them.
Et most of the Southern States a majority
of the whole people, of ali colors, are neither,
slaves nor masters, while in the Northern . , a
large ma j ority, are neither hirers nor hired.—
Men witv their families, wives, eons and
daughters, work for themselves on their farms.
in. their houses, andin their shops, taking the
whole product to theinselve!i, and asking, no
favors of capital on the one hand nor of hired
laborers or slaves on the-other.
It is not forgotten that a conslirerable num
ber of persons mingle their own labor with
their capital—that-is, thos• labor will; their
own hands and also buy or hire others to la
bor fur them : but this is only a mixed and
not a distinct class. No principle. stated is
disturbed by the existence of this mixed class.
Again, as has already been said, there - is not
of necessity any snch thing as the free hired
laborer being fixed to that condition. for life.
Many independent men everywhere -in these
States, c few years back in their lives, were
hirdd laborers:
The pruderit,penuiless beginner, in the world,
labors fog wages: a while, sates a surplus with
which to buy tools or land for himself, then
labors on his own account another While, and
atlengthhiresavother new beginner to help him.
This is the just, and generous and prosper
ous-system winch opens the way to all, gives
hope to all; and consequenlly energy and pro
gress and improvement of condition to all.—
No men living are More Worthy to he trusted
than those who toil up- from poverty.
None less inclined to take or touch aught
which they have not hon'ealy earned. Let
them beware of surrendering a political pow
er which they already possess, and which,
surrendered, will surely be used to close the
door of.advancement against such as they,
and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon
them till all liberty shall be lost.
Fr.olll the first taking of our national census
to the last one, seventy years, and we find our
population at the end of the period eight times
as great as it was at the beginning. The in.-
crease of ttoSe . other things which men deem
desirable has. been greater. .
We thus have at one view what thepopular
principle applied to Government through the
maehineri•. of the :States and the Union 'has
produced in a given time, and also what, if
firmly maintained, it promises for the future.
These are already among us those who, if
the Unjon be pret.erved, will live to see it con
tain tWo hundred and fifty million=. The
struggle of to=day is not altogether for to-day;
it is for a vast futiire also. 'With a reliance
on ProvidenCe, all the more firm and earnest
let us proceed in the great task which events
have devolved Upon us. A. LINCQLN.
