" SLAVERY IN THE TERRITORIES. cordially congratulate ;you •upon the ,final ment, by the Supreme court of the United States, of the question' of slavery in the Territories, which had preeented an, aspect so truly formidable :at the, coin ; Mencement of my administration. The right has been established of every elitism th. take his property of any, kind, including dale., into,the common Ter :ritories, belonging aqui - 41o' all the States of the; Confederacy, and to have it prtestedi,there under the • Federal constitutipn,,ATeither pongn,se, nor a Territorial Legislature, nor any'human power, has oany authority 'to annul• or impair this vested right.' 1 , „The supreme judiejal tribunal of the country, which co-oidialite branch of the government, has sane. 'finned and affirmed these principles of constitutional law, so manifestly just in themselves, and so weli v ne,loalated to promote peace and harmooy emong the • States., It is a striking, proof of the sense nf Justice which is inherent in our people, that the property in slave; has never been disturbed to my knowledge in any of the Territories., Even throughout the late troubles in Kansas, there has not been any attempt', as , Lana credibly informed„to it4erFare, in a• single Instance, with the•r,ight ‘ or the master. Had any such attempt' been made, the jfidiciary would doubtieis have affordedan adequate remedy, Should they fai r to do this hereafter, it will then be time enough to strengthen their bandit by farther legislation. Had it . been decided that either Congress or the Territorial Legislature possesses the power to annul or impair' tbe•right of property in slaves, the evil wiuld•be in.a tolerable. In the latter event there would be a 'dup.,. gle for a majority of the members of the legislatuni , at each suoceseive, electioa, and the sacred rights o,c property held under the federal oonstitntion would de,, pend, fur the time being,. on the result. The lights', don would thas s be rendered incessant, whilss. the ter wtorial condition remained, and its baneful influence would keep alive a`dangerotur excitement_among the people of • the several States. Mins has the status of a Territory during the inter , mediate period, from its first settlement until it shall become,kßutte,,been irrev ocably fixed by,the final • dielsien of the Baprime'Hourt 7ortunate has this . been foi•the prosperity of 'the Territories, as wallas ; the tranquility of the States. Now, emigrants from tbe,North and ,the South, the East and the West, will meet in the Territories on a common Platform, having brought with them that' species of property best adapted, in their own opin-, ion, to promote their welfare. From natural Gaines the i slavery question ,will in each MUM soon t virthalky„, settle itself, and before the Territory iti,prepare'dfor admission as a , Staie into this Union, this decision,t. one vrayor Abe o,ther, will„have been kfererrtne,oon elusion. Meanwhile, the settlement of the mix Ter': ritory will proceed without serious interruption, and its progress and prosperity will not be endangered or retarded by violent politioarstrugglea. When, in the program of events, the inhabitants of any territory shall , have reached the number requir ed to form a State;they will then proceed in a vegu , ler manner, and in the exercise of , the rights of pop.,. ular sovereignty, to form a constitution preparatory ' to admission into the Union. After this .has been, lone, to employ the language , of the. Kansas Ns. eraska Act, "they shall be received into the Union,. . with or without slavery, as their conetittition may , prescribe at the time of their admisiiion." This sone/ prineiple has happily been recognised in some form t or other by an almost unanimous vote of both hours of the last Congress. THE AFRICANBLANS All lawful means at my command have been ern. - ployed aid shell continue to be employed to execute the laws against the African Slave.trade. After a most careful and rigorous examination of oar coast and a thorough investigation of thb subject, we have not been able to discover that any slaves have been imported into the United States, except the cargo by the Wanderer, numbering between three and four hundred. Those engaged in this unlawful enterprise have been rigorously prosecuted, but not with as , much success as their crimes have deserved.

The navy department is entitled to great credit for the promptness, effi•• :• eienoy iand economy with which this expedition was fitted out and _conducted. it consisted of nineteen armed vessels, great and small, carry ' ing 200 guns and 2500 mad, all under the corn mand.of. the veteran and , gallant She:rick.

The appearance of so large a force, fitted out in such a prompt manner, in the far distant wa ters of the La Plata, and the admirable conduct. of the officers en,d.nten:employed, in it, have had 1 , a happy effect iu favor of our country through out all that- remote portion of the world. RELATIONS WITH 99NTLNENTAL EUROPE. Our reiationewith the great empires of France and Russia`, as well as with all other govern : ments on _the continent of Europe, unless we Mayexceptlhat of Spain, happily continue to be of ' the, most friendly altimeter.

In common with two, of my, predecessors, I entertain. no doubt that this is required by our treaty with Spain or the 27th of October, 1795. The hail ' 'nre to discharge this obligation has been empyy ed by the Cabinet of Madrid as a reason against the settlement of our claims. OUBA- I need not repeat the arguments which I urged in my last anneal message, in favor of the acqui sitiop, of Cuba ,by fair purchase My opinions ...nt that measure remain unchanged. I therefore ..'agaiit invite the serious attention of Congreee .to this : Am - portant subject.

While indulging the, hope that no other sub ject remained which could disturb the good un derstanding between the two countries, the question arising out of the adverse claims of the, parties, to the . ,islaud of San o Tuan, under, the Oregon treaty ' orthe 15th of June, 1846, sud- • denly assumed a thresieniog position. In order;. to prevent an, nutortunate collision on that. re- . • mote froiltier, the late Secretary of State, on the ' I.7th-July; addressed a note to Mr.Cramp ton, then British Minister at Washington, com municating a copy of the instruotions_which he, Marcy, had given. on the 14th of July, to thiv.
