It was resolved, by a great majority,—That the inde pendent and impartial ptinciples on which the Lancet was first established, have been preserved by Mr. Wakley at all risks; and as it was acknowledged at•thelate trial, that, the legal expences of some of his opponents, on another occasion, were defrayed by certain Hospital Physicians and Surgeons, it is further resolved, That a Subscription be opened for the purpose of defraying the expencee of the late action. It was unanimously resolved,—That in accordance with the feelings which this Meeting has expressed, Mr. Wakley be invited to attend a Public Dinner, and that a Coarmittec be forthwith appointed to arrange the same, with power to add to their number.

The President of the United States transmitted, this clay, to both Houses of Congress the following Message : TO TIIE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE'VNITED STATES. L•'ELLOW CITIZENS OP THE SENATE, AM) OF TITS HOUSE OF ILEFRESENTATI TES If the enjoyment in profusion of the bounties of Providence forms a suitable subject of mutual gte tulation and grateful acknowledgment, we are ad monished at this return of the season, when the Re presentatives of the Nation are assembled to deliber ate upon their concerns, to offer up the tribute of fervent and grateful hearts, for the never-failing mercies of Him who ruleth over all. He has again favoured us with healthful seasons and abundant , harvests. He has sustained us in peace with foreign countries, and in tranquillity within our borders. He has preserved us in the quiet and undisturbed pos session of civil and religions liberty. He has crowned the year with his goodness, imposing on us no other conditions than of improving for our own happiness the blessings bestowed by his hands ; and in the fruition of all his favours, of devoting the faculties with which we have been endowed by Him, to his glory and to our own temporal and eternal welfare. In the relation of our Federal Union with our brethren of the human race, the changes which have occurred since die close of your last session, have generally tended to the preservation of peace, and to the cultivation of harmony. Before .your last separation, a war had unhappily been kindled between the Empire of Russia, one of those with which our intercourse has been no other than a constant exchange of good offices, and that of the Ottoman Porte, a nation from which geographical distance, religious opinions, and maxims of Govern ment on their part, little suited to :the formation of those • bonds of mutual benevolence which result from the benefits of commerce, had kept us in a state, perhaps too much prolonged, of coldness and alienation. The extensive, fertile, and populous dominions of the Sultan, belong rather to the Asi atic, than the European division of the human family. They enter but partially into the system of Europe ; nor have their wars with Russia and Austria, the European States upon whieb they border, for more than a century past, disturbed the pacific relations of those States with the other great Powers of Europe. Neither France, nor Prussia, nor Great Britain, has ever taken part in them ; nor is it to be expected that they will at this time. The declara tion of war by Russia has received the approbation or acquiescence of her allies, and we may, indulge the hope that its progress and terMination will be signalized by the moderation and forbearance, no less than by the energy of the Emperor Nicholas, and that it will afford the opportunity for such col lateral agency in behalf of the suffering Greeks, ae. will secure to them ultimately the triumph of huma nity and of freedom. The state of our particular relations with France has scarcely varied in the course of the present year. The commercial intercourse between the two countries has continued to increase for the mutual benefit of both. The claims of indemnity to 'numbers of our fellow citizens for depredations upon their property, heretofore committed, during the Reyol;,4tionary Governments, still remain unad justed, and still form the subject of earnest repre sentation and remonstrance. Recent advises from the Minister of the United States at Paris en courage the expectation that the appeal to the justice of the French Government will ere long receive a favourable consideration. The last friendly expedient has been resorted to for the decision of the controversy with Great min, relating to the North-eastern boundary of the United States. By an agreement with the British Government, carrying into effect the provisions of the fifth article of the Treaty of Ghent, and the Convention of 29th September, 1827, his Majesty the King of the Netherlands has by common consent been selected as the umpire between the parties. The proposal to him to accept the designation for the performance of this friendly office will be made at an early day, and the United States, relying upon the justice of their cause, will cheerfully commit the arbitrament of it to a Prince equally distinguished for the independence of his spirit, his indefatigable assiduity to the duties of his station, and his inflexi ble personal probity. , Our commercial relations with Great Britain will deserve ;he serious consideration of Congress, and the exercise of a conciliatory and forbearing spirit in the policy of both Governments. The state of them has been materially changed by the act of Congress passed at their last session, in alteration of the several acts imposing duties on imports, and by acts of more recent date of the British Parliament. The effect of the interdiction of direct trade com menced by Great Britain, and reciprocated by the United States, has been, as was to be foreseen, only to substitute different channels for an exchange of commodities indispensable to the Colonies, and pro fitable to a numerous class of our fellow citizens. - The exports, the revenue, the navigation of the United States have suffered no diminution by our exclusion from direct access to the British Colonies. The Colonies pay more dearly for the necessaries of life, which their Government burdens with the charges of double voyages, freight, insurance and commis sion, and the profits of our exports are somewhat impaired, and more injuriously trarsferred from one portion of our citizens to another. The presump tion of this old and otherwise exploded system of Colonial exclusion has not secured t o the shipping interest of Great Britain the relief which, at the expense of the distant Coloniea, and of the •United States, it was expected to afford. Other measures have been' resorted to,.more pointedly bearing upon the navigation of the United States, and which, un less modified by the construction given to the recent Acts of Parliament, will be manifestly incompatible with the positive stipulations of the commercial convention existing between the two eountries. That convention, however, may he terminated, with twelve months' notice, at the option of either party. A treaty of Amity, Navigation, and Commerce, between the United States and his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohe mia, has been prepared for signature by the Secre tary of State, and by the Baron de Ledreder,_in trusted with full powers of the Austrian Govern ment. Independently of the new and friendly rela tions which may be thus. commenced with one of the most eminent and powerful Petioles of the earth, the occasion has been taken in it, as in other recent treaties concluded by the United States, to extend those principles of liberal intercourse and of fair re ciprocity which intertwine with the exchanges of commerce the principles of justice, and the feelings. of mutual benevolence. This system, first pro chtimed•to the world in the first commercial treaty ever concluded by the United States, that of 6th February, 1779, with France, has been invariably the - cherished policy of our Union.. It is by treaties of commerce alone that it can be made ultimately to irevail as the established system of all civilized pa ' tions.—With this principle our fathers extended the hand of friendship to every nation of the globe, and to this policy our country_ has ever since adhered— ' whatever of regulation in our laws has ever been adopted unfavourable to-the interest of any foreign nation, has been essentially defensive and counter acting to similar regulations of their's operating against us. Immediately after the close of the war of inde pendence, Commissioners were appointed by the Congress of the Confederation, authori zed to con clude treaties with every nation of Europe disposed to adopt them. Berme the Wars of the French re volution, such treaties had been consummated with the United Netherlands, Sweden and Prussia.— During those wars treaties with Great Britain and Spain had been effected, and those with Prussia and France renewed. In all these, some concessions to the liberal principles of intercourse proposed by the United States had been obtained ; but as, in all the negotiations, they came occasionally in collision with previous internal regulations, or exclusive and ex cluding compacts of monopoly, with which the other parties had been trammelled, the advances made in them towards the freedom of trade were partial and imperfect. Colonial establishnients, chartered com panies, and ship building influence, pervaded and encumbered the legislation of all the great commer cial States; and the United States, in offering free trade and equal privilege to all, were compelled to acquiesce in many exceptions with each of the par ties to their treaties, accommodated to their existing laws and anterior engagements. The colonial system, by which this whole hemis phere was bound, has fallen into ruins. Totally abolished by revolutions, converting colonies into in dependent nations, throughout the two American Continents, excepting a portion of territory chiefly at the northern extremity of our own, and con fined to the remnants of dominion retained by Great Britain over the insular Archipelago, geogra phically the appendages of our part of the globe. With all the rest we have free trade—even with the insular colonies of all the European notions, ex cept Great Britain. Her Government had also manifested approaches to the adoption of a free and liberal intercourse between her colonies and other nations, though, by a sudden and scarcely explained revulsion, the spirit of exclusion has been revived for operation upon the United States alOne. The conclusion of our last Treaty of Peace with Great Britain was shortly afterwards followed by a Commercial Convention, placing the direct inter course between the two countries upon a footing of more equal reciprocity than had ever befoie been admitted. The same principle has since been much farther extended, by Treaties with France, Sweden, Denmark, the Hanseatic Cities, Prussia in Europe, and with the Republics of Colombia, and of Central Amelien, in this hemisphere. The me mat abolition of discriminating duties and charges upon the navigation and commercial intercourse be tween the parties, is the general maxim which cha racterises them all. There is reason to expect that . it will, at no distant period, be adopted by other nations, both of Europe and Americu, and to hope, that, by its universal prevalence, one of the fruitful sources of wars of commercial competition will be extinguished. Among the nations upon whose governments many of our fellow citizens have had long pending claims of indemnity, for depredations upon their pro perty during a period when the rights of neutral commerce were disregarded, was that of Denmark. They were, soon after the events occurred, the sub ject of a special mission from the United States, at the close of which tine assurance was given, by his Danish Majesty, that at a period of more tran quillity, and of less distress, they would be con sidered, examined, and decided upon, in a spirit of determined purpose for the dispensation of justice. I have much pleasure in informing congress that the fulfilment of this honourable promise is now in pro gress; that a small portion of the claims has already been settled, lo the satisfaction of the claimants; and that we have reason to hope that the remainder will shortly be placed in a train a equitable adjust ment. This result has always been confidently ex pected, from the character of personal integrity anti of benevolence, which the Sovereign of the Danish Dominions, has through every vicissitude of fortune, maintained. The general aspect of the affairs of our neigh bouring American nations of the South, has been rather of approaching than of settled tranquillity. In ternal disturbances have been more frequent among them titan their common friends would have desired. Our intercourse with all has continued to be that of friendship, and of mutual good will. Treaties of commerce and of boundaries with the United Mex ican States have been negotiated, but from various successive obstacles, not yet brought to a final con clusion. The civil war which unfortunately still prevails in the Republic of Central America, has been unpropitious to the cultivation of our commer cial relations with them; and the dissections and re volutionary changes in the Republics of Columbia and Peru, have been seen with cordial regret by us, who would gladly contribute to the happiness of both. It is with great satisfaction, however, that we have witnessed the'recent conclusion of a peace between the governments of Buenos Ayres and Brazil, 'and it is equally gratifying to observe that indemnity has been obtained ter some of the injuries which our fel low-citizens had sustained in the latter of those countries. The rest are in a train of negotiation, which we hope may terminate to mutual satisfaction, and that it may be succeeded by a Treaty of Com merce and Navigation upon liberal principles, propi tious to a great and growing commerce, already im portant to the interests of our country. The condition and prospects of the Revenue are more favourable than our most sanguine expectations had anticipated. The balance in the Treastn•y on the Ist of January last, exclusive of the monies re ceived under the convention of the 13th November, 1826, with Great Britain, was five millions eight hundred and s;xty-one thousand nine hundred and seventy-two dollars, and eighty-duet cents► The receipts into the Treasury from the Ist of January to the 30th September last, so far as they have been ascertained to form the basis of an estimate, amount to eighteen millions six hundred and thirty-three thousand nine hundred and eighty dollars and twenty- Seven cents, which, with the receipts of the present quarter, estimated at five MillionS four hundred and sixty-one thousand two hundred and eighty-three dollars and forty cents, form an aggregate of receipts during the year of twenty-four millions and ninety four thousand eight hundred and sixty-three dollars and sixty-seven' cents. The expenditures of the year may probably amount to twenty-five millions six hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred and eleven dollars and sixty-three cents ; and leave in the Treastny, on the Ist of January next, the sum of five millions one hundred and twenty-five thousand six hundred and thirty-eight dollars, four teen cents. The receipts of the present year have amounted to near two millions more than was anticipated at the commencement of the last session of Congress. The amount of duties secured on importations from the Ist of January to the 30th September was about twenty-two millions nine hundred and ninety-seven thousand, and that date estimated ac cruing .revenue is five millions ; leaving an aggre gate for the year of near twenty-eight millions. This is one million more than the estimate made last December for the :scenting- revenue of the present year, , which with allowances for drawbacks and contingent deficiencies was expected to produce an actual revenue of twenty-two millions three hundred thousand dollars. Had these only _been realized, the expenditures of the year would have been nig() proportionally \ reduced. For of these twenty-four millions received, upwards of nine millions have been applied to the extinction of public debt bearing an interest of six per cent. a year, and of course reducing the burden of interest annually payable in future, by the amount of more than half a million. The payments on account of interest during the current year exceed three mil lions of dollars ; presenting an aggregate of more than twelve millions applied during the year to the discharge of the public debt, the whole of which remaining due on the first of January next will amount only to fifty-eight millions three hundred and sixty-two thousand one hundred and thirty-five dollars and seventy-eight cents. That the revenue of the ensuing year will not fall short of that received in the one now expiring, there. arc indications which can scateely prove de ceptive. In our country, an uniform experience of forty years has shown that whatever the tariff of du ties upon articles imported from abroad has been, the amount of importations has always borne an average value nearly approaching . to that of the ex ports, though occasionally differing in the balance, sometimes being more, and sometimes less. It is, indeed, a general law of prosperous commerce, that the real value of exports should, by a sr-s.ll, and only a small balance, exceed that of imports, that ba lance being a permanent addition to the wealth of the nation. The extant of the prosperous com merce of the nation must be regulated by the amount of its exports ; and an important addition to the value of these will draw after it a correspond ing increase of importations. It has happened, in the vicissitudes of the seasons, that the harvests of all Europe, have,' in the late summer and autumn, Lao short of their usual average. A relaxation of the interdict upon the importation of grain and flour from abroad has ensued; a propitious market bus been opened to. the granaries of our ecuntry ; and a new prospect of reward presented to the labours of the husbandman, which, for several years has been denied. This accession to the profits of agriculture in the middle and western portions of our Union is accidental and temporary. It may continue only for a single year. It may be, as has been often ex perienced in the revolutions of time, but the first of several scanty harvests in succession. %Ve may consider it certain, that, for the approaching year, it has added an item of large amount to the value of our exports, and that it will produce a correspond ing increase of importations. It may, therefore, sonfi dently be foreseen that the revenue of 1829 will equal, and probably exceed, that of 1828, and will afford the means of extinguishing ten millions more of the principal of the public debt. This new element of prosperity to that part of our agricultural industry which is occupied in pro ducing the first article of human subsistence, is of the most cheering character to the feelings of patriot ism. Proceeding from a muse which humanity will view with concern, the sufferings of scarcity in di;- tent lands, it yields a consolatory reflection that this scarcity is in no respect attributable to as. That it comes from the dispensation of Him who ordains all in wisdom and goodness, mid who permits evil itself only as an instrument of good. That far from con tributing to this scarcity, our agency will be applied only to the alleviation of its severity ; and that in pouring forth, from the abundance of our own garners, the supplies which will partially restore plenty to those who are in need, we shall ourselves reduce our stores, and add to the price of our own bread, so as in some degree to participate in the wants which it will be the good fortune of our coun t y to relieve. The great interests of up agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing nation, are so linked in union to gether, that no permanent cause of prosperity to one of them can operate without extending its influence to the others. All these interests are alike under the protecting power of the legislative authority; and the duties of the representative bodies are to conciliate them in harmony together. So far as the object of taxation is to raise a revenue for discharg ing the debts, and defraying the expenses of the community, it should as much as possible suit the burden with equal hand upon all, in proportion with their ability of bearing it without oppression. But the legislation of one nation is sometimes inten tionally made to beer heavily upon the interests of another. net legislatithi, adapted, as it is meant to be, to the special interests of its own people, will often press most unequally upon the several compo nent interests of its neighbours.' Thus, the legisla tion of Great Britain, wh en , as h as recently been avowed, adapted to the d e p ress i on o f a r ival nation, will naturally abound w ith regu l at i ons of interdict upon the producti ons o f t h e so il or industry of the other which come in competition with its own ; and will peseta encouragement, perhaps, even bounty, to the raw material of the other state, which it can not produce itself, and which is es'e"li"l f o r the use of its mem:facilites, competitors in the markets of the world wi t h t h ose o f i ts commercial rival. Such is the st a t e o f t h e comme rcial legislation of Great Britain as i t b ears a pex ou r interests. It excludes, ith interdi ct i ng duties, all importation (except in w time of approaching famine) scribes, with equal of the great staple pro ductions of our Middle and Western States; it pro rigour, the bulkier lumber and live stock of the same portion, and also of the Nor thern an Eastern pH., t of our Union. I t re f uses even the rice of the South, unless aggravated with a charge of duty upon the Notthern carrier, who brings it to them. But the cotton, indispensable for their looms, they will receive almost duty free, to weave it into a fabric for our own wear, to the destruction of our own manufactures, which they are enabled thus to undersell. Is the sclf-protecting energy of this nation so helpless that there exists, in the political institutions of our country, no power t o cou nteract the bias of this foreign legislati on ? t h at the growers of grain must submit to this excl u si on Borst the foreign un.rkete of their produce; that the shippers must dismantle their ships, the trade of' the North stagnate at the what vest, awl the manufac turers starve at their looms, while the whole people shall pay tribute to foreign industry to be clad in %a foreign garb ; that the Congress of the Union are impotent to restore the Isdunce in favour of native industry, t'estro)e4by the - statute of anothar realm ? • More just and Moregeneeteus sentiments, will, I trust, prevail. If the tariff adopted ut, the last sea -6:0I1 of Congress shall he found by experience to bear oppressively upon the interests of any one-see tion of our Union, it ought to be, and I cannot doubt will be, so modified as to alleviate its burden. To the voice of just complaint from any portion of their constituents, the Representatives of the States and People will never turn away their ears. But so long as Me duty of the foreign shall operate only as u bounty upon the domestic article—while the planter, and the merchant, arid the shepherd, and the husbandman, shall be found thriving in their occupa tions under their duties imposed for the-protectiou of domestic manufactures, they will not rep;rie at the pros perity shared with themselves by their fellow-citizens of other professions, nor denounce as violations of the Constitution, the deliberate acts,ef Congress to . shield from the wrongs of foreign laws the native in dustry of the Union. While the tariff of the last session of Congress was a subject of legi s lative de liberation, it was foretold by some of its opposers that one of its necessary consequences would be to impair the revenue. It is yet too aeon to pronounce with confidence, that this prediction was.erroneous. The obstruction of one revenue of trade not eerie• guiltily opens an issue to another. The cousequenc e of the tariff will be to increase the exportation, lied to diminish the importation of some specific ert des. But, by the general Jew of trade, the increase of exportation of one article will be followed by an increased importation of others, the duties upon which will supply the defieiences, which the dimi nished importation would otherwise occasion. The effect of taxation upon l'llep;le.cap seldom be for, with certainty. It mutt abide the test of ex perience. As yet 110 symptoms of (limit - intim' are perceptible in the receipts of the Treasury. As yet, little addition of cost has even been experienced upon the articles burthened with heavier duties by the last tariff. The domestic manufacturer supplies the same or a kindred article at a diminished price, and the consumer pays the same tribute to the labour of his own countryman, which he must otherwise have paid to foreign industry and toil. The tariff of the last session was, iu its details, not acceptable to the great interests of any portion of the Union, not even to the interest which it was specially intended to subserve. Its object was to balance the burdens upon native industry imposed by the operation of foreign laws; but not to aggravate the burdens of one section of the Union by the relief afforded to another. To the great principle sanc tioned by that Act, one of thezie. open whi c h the Constitution itself was formed, I hope and trust the authorities of the Union will adhere. But if tiny of the duties imposed by the Act only relieve the manufacturer by riggravatieg the burden of the planter, let a careful revisal of its provisions, eh lightened by the practical experience of its effects, be directed to retain those which impart protection to native industry, and remove or supply the place of those which only alleviate one great national ieterest by the depression of another. The United States of America, and the People of every State of .which they are composed, are each of them Sovereign Powers. The legislative autho rity of the whole is exercised by Congress under authority grunted them in the common Constitution. The legislative power of each State is exercised by assemblies deriving their authority from the Consti tution of the State. Each is sovereign within its own province. The distribution of power between them pre-supposes that these authorities will move in harmony with each other. The members of the State and General Governments are all wider oath to support both, and allegiance is due to the one and to the other. Thu case of a conflict between these two powers has not been supposed ; nor has any provision been made for it in our isatitution3; as a virtuous nation of ancient times existed more than five centuries without a law for the punishment of parricide. More than once, however, in the progress of our history, have the People and the Legislatures of one or more States, in moments of excitement, been in stigated to this conflict, and the means of effecting this impulse have been allegations that the acts of Congress to be resisted were unconstitutional. The People of no one States have ever delegated to their Legiilative the power of pronouncing an Act on Congress unconstitutional ; but they have delegated to them powers, by the exercise of which the ex' cution of the laws of Congress within the States may be resisted. If we suppose the case of such conflicting legislation sustalued by the corresponding Executive and Judicial Authmitics, Patriotism and Philanthropy turn their eyes from the condition in which the parties would be placed, and from that of the people of both, which must be its victims. The Reports from the Secretary of 'War, anti from the various subordinate offices of the resort of that. Department, present an exposition of the public ad ministration of affairs connected with them, through the course of the current year. - The present state of the army, and the distribution of the force of which it is composed, will be seen from the Report of the Major-General. Several alterations in the disposal of the troops have been found expe dient in the course of the year, and the discipline of the army, though not entirely free from:exception has been generally good. The attention of Congress is-particularly invited to that part of the Report of the Secretary of w" which concerns the existing system of our relations with the Indian tribes. At the eStablislnnent of the Federal GOvernment, under the present constitu tion of the United States, the principle Was adopted of considering them as foreign terl independent, powers : and also as proprietors of lands. They' were, moreover, considered as savages, whom it was our policy and our duty to use our influence in con verting to Christianity, and bringing within the pale of civilization. prevail u p on t h em to As independent Powers we aegociuted w i t h t h em all rude a n d i goo . by treaties;- as proprietors, we purcha se d of them l e d ge o f re ligion and of lett ers .

In the practice of European States before oar Revolution, they had been con sidered as children to be governed; as tenants at discretion, to be disposr , essed us occa,ion might re quire; as hunters, to be indemnified by trifling con cession 2 for removal, from the grounds upon which their game was extirpated. In changing the system it would seem as if a full contemplation of the con sequences of the change had not been taken. We have been fur more successful in the acquisition of their lands than in imparting to them the principles, or inspiring them with the spirit of civilization. But in appropriating to ourselves their hunting-ground, we have brought upon ourselves the obligation ot providing them with subsistence; and when we have bad the rare good fortune of teaching them the arts of civilization and the doctrines of 'Christianity, wo have unexpt(etedly found them forming, in the midst of ourselves, communities claiming to be in dependent of ours, and rivals of sovereignty within the territories of the members .of our Union. This state of things requires that a remedy should be pro• vided; a remedy which, while it shall do jinqice to those unfortunate children of nature, may secure-to the members of our confederation their rights of sovereignty and of soil. As the outline of ;a pro. jest to that effect, the views presented in the Report of th e Secretary of War a recommend at i on to the consideration of Congress.
