STAMPED revision of the revenue laws, prepared under the direction of the Secretary to the Treasury, and also legislation upon some special questions affecting the business of thac depart ment, more especially the enactment of a law to punish Lite abstraction of official books or papers from the files of the Government, and requiring all such books and papers, and Lherall public prop er t y, t o b e turne d over b y th e ou t- go ing °MI. to his successor : of a law requiring disbursing officers to deposit all public moneys in the vaults of the Treasury, or in other legal depositories, where the same are conve niently accessible ; and a law to extend exi.tiug penal pro visions to all persons who may become possessed of public money, by deposit or otherwise, who shall refuse or neglect, on due demand, to pay the same into the Treasury. I invite your attention anew to each of these objects. THE ARMY AND NAVY. The army during the past year has been so constantly employed against hostile Indians in various quarters that it can scarcely be said, with propriety of language, to have been a peece establishment. Its duties have been satisfac torily performed, and we have reason to expect, as a re sult of the year's operations, greater security to the fron tier inhabitants than has been hitherto enjoyed. Extensive combinations amongothe hostile Indians of the territories of Washington and Oregon at one time threatened the de vastation of the newly-formed settlements of that remote part of the country. From recent information, we are permitted to hope that the energetic and successful opera tions conducted there will prevent such combinations in future, and secure to those territories an opportunity to make steady progress in the development of their agricul tural and mineral resources. Legislation has been recommended by me on previous occasions to cure defects in the existing organisation, and to increase the efficiency of the army, and further observa tion has but served to confirm me in the views then ex pressed, and to enforce on my mind the conviction that such measures aro not only proper, but necessary. I have in addition to invite the attention of Congress to a change of policy in the distribution of troops; and to the necessity of providing a more rapid increase of the military armament. For details of these and other subjects re lating to the army, I refer to the report of the Secretary of War. The condition of the navy is not merely satisfactory, but exhibits the most gratifying evidences of increased vigour. As it is comparatively small, it is more important that it should be as complete as possible in all the elements of strength; that it should be efficient in the character of its officers, in the zeal and discipline of its men, in the re liability of its ordnance, and in the capacity of its ships. In all these vations qualities the navy has made great pro gress within the last few years. The execution of the law of Congress of February 28, 1855, " to promote the efficacy of the navy," has been attended to by the most advanta geous results. The law for promoting discipline among the men is found convenient and salutary. The system of granting an honourable discharge to faith ful seamen on the expiration of the period of their enlist ment, and permitting them to re-enlist after a leave of ab sence of a few months, without cessation of pay, is highly beneficial in its influence. The apprentice system recently adopted is evidently destined to incorporate into the ser vice a large number of our countrymen hitherto so difficult to procure. Several hundred American boys are now on a three years' cruise in our national vessels, and will return well trained seamen. In the Ordnance Department there is a decided and gratifying indication of progress creditable to it and to the country. The suggestions of the Secretary of the Navy, in regard to further improvement in that branch of the service, commend to your favourable action. The new frigates ordered by Congress are now afloat, and two of them in active service. They are superior models of naval architecture, and, with their formidable battery, add largely to public strength and security. I concur in the views expressed by the Secretary of the Department in favour of a still further increase of our naval force. PUBLIC LANDS. The report of the Secretary of the Interior presents facts and views in relation to internal affairs over which the supervision of his department extends, of much interest and importance. The aggregate sales of the public lands, during the last fiscal year, amount to 9,227,878 acres ; for which has bee❑ received the sum of 8,821,414 dols. During the same pe riod there have been located with military scrip and land warrants, and for other purp%es, 30,100,230 acres; thus making a total aggregate of 39,328,10 S acres. On the 30th September last surveys had been made of 16,873,690 acres, a large proportion of which is ready for market. The suggestions in this report in regard to the complica tion and progressive expansion of the busines&of the differ ent bureaux of the Department ; to the pension system; to the colonisation of Indian tribes, and the recommendations in relation to various improvements in the district of Co lumbia are especially commended to your consideration. THE POST-OFFICE. The report of the Postmaster-General presents fully the condition of that department of the Government. Its ex penditures for the last fiscal year were 10,478,868 dols ; and its gross receipts 7,628,801 dole—making an excess of expenditure over receipts of 2,787,046 dols. The deficiency of this Department is thus, 744,000 dole greater than for the year ending June 30, 1853. Of this deficiency, 330,000 dols. is to be attributed to the additional compen sation allowed Postmasters by the act of Congress of J one 22, 1854. The mail facilities in every part of the country have been very much increased in that period, and the large addition of railroad service, amounting to 7,808 miles, has added largely to the cost of transportation. The considerable augmentation of the income of the Post Office Qepartmeut under the reduced rates of postage, and its increased expendittires must, for the present, make it dependent to some extent upon the -areasury for sup port. The recommendations of the Postmaster-General in relation to-the abolition of'the franking privilege, and his views on the establishment of mail steam-ship lines, peserve the consideration of Congress. I also call the special at tention of Congress to the statement of the Postmaster- General respecting the sums now paid for the transporta tion of mails to the Panama Railway Company, and com mend to their early and favourable consideration the sug gestions of that officer in relation to new contracts for mail transportation upon that route, and also upon the Tehuan tepec and Nicaragua routes. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The United States continue in the enjoyment of amic able relations with all foreign Powers. When my last annual Message was transmitted to Con gress, two subjects of controversy, one relating to the en listment of soldiers in this country for foreign service, and the other to Central America, threatened to disturb the good understanding between the United States and Great Britain. Of the progress and termination of the former question you were informed at the time ; and the other is now in the way of satisfactory adjustment. The object of the convention between the United States and Great Britain of the 19th of April, 1850, was to secure, for the benefit of all nations, the neutrality and the com mon use of any transit way, or interoceanic communica tion across the Isthmus of Panama which might be opened within the limits of Central America. The pretension subsequently asserted by Great Britain to dominion or control over territories in or near two of the routes, those of Nicaragua and Honduras, were dee me d by the United States not merely incompatible with the main object of the treaty, but opposed even to its express stipulations. Occasion of controversy on this point has been removed by an additional treaty, which our Minister at London has concluded, and which will be immediately submitted to the Senate for its consideration. Should the proposed supplemental arrangement be concurred in by all the par ties to be affected by it, the objects contemplated by the original convention will have been fully attained. The treaty between the United States and Great Britain, of the sth June, 1854, which went into effective operation in 18_5, put an end to causes of irritation between the two countries, by securing to the United States the right of fishery on the coast of the British North American pro vinces, with advantages equal to those enjoyed by British subjects. Beside the signal benefits of this treaty to a largo class of our citizens engaged in a pursuit couneeted to no inconsiderable degree with our national prosperity and strength, it has had a favourable effect upon other inte rests, in the provision it made for reciprocal freedom of trade between the United States and the British provinces in America. The exports of domestic articles to those provinces during the last year amounted to more than 22 millions of dollars, exceeding those of the preceding year by nearly seven mil lions of dollars ; and the imports therefrom, during the same period, amounted to more than 21 millions—an in crease of six millions upon those of the previous year. The improved condition of this branch of our commerce is mainly attributable to the above-mentioned treaty. Provision was made in the first article of that treaty for a commission to designate the mouths of rivers to which the common right of fishery on the coast of the United States and the British provinces was to extend. This commission has been employed apart of two seasons, but without much progress in accomplishing the object for which it was insti tuterd, in consequence of a serious difference of opinion be tween the commissioners, not only as to the precise point where the rivers terminate, but in many instances as to what constitutes a river. These difficulties, however, may be overcome by resort to the umpirage provided for by the • treaty. The efforts perseveringly prosecuted since the commence ment of my Administration to relieve our trade to the Bal tic from the exaction of Sound Dues by Denmark have not yet been attended with success. Other Governments have also sought to obtain a like relief to their commerce, and Denmark was thus induced to propose au arrangement to all the European Powers interested in the subject; and the manner in which her proposition was received war ranting her to believe that a satisfactory arrangement negotiations he with them could soon be concluded, she made a strong r with the United peal to this Government for temporary suspension of a). de finite action on its part, iu consideration of the embarrass ment condition an immediate which adjustment might result t of o t her he Europeanquestion of June last, and States. This request has been acceded to, upon the that the sums collected after the 16th until the 16th of June next, from vessels and l cargoes ered as paid be longing to our merchants, are to be cona tt arrangement between Denmark under protest and subject to future adjustment.

These were not presented as new rules of international law, having been generally claimed by neutrals, though not always admitted by belligerents: One of the parties to the war—Russia--as well as several neutral Powers, promptly acceded to these propositions ; and the two other principal belligerents—Great Britain and France—having ' consented to observe them for the present occasion, a fa- LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING-, DECEMBER, 16, 1856. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. [A summary of the following appeared in our impree. sion of yesterday.] Follow-citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Re presentatives,—Tho Constitution requires that the Presi: dent shall, from time to time, not only recommend to the consideration of Congress such measures as be may judge necessary and expedient, hut also that he shall give infor mation to them of the State of the Union. To do this duty fully involves exposition of all matters in the actual condition of the country, domestic or foreign, which essen tially concern the general welfare. While performing his constitutional duty in this respect, the President does not speak merely to express personal convictions, but as the Executive Minister of the Government, enabled by his position, and called upon by his official obligations, to scan with an impartial eye the interests of the whole, and of every part of the United States. Of the condition of the domestic interests of the Union, its agriculture, mines, manufactures, navigation, and com merce, it is necesvry only to say that the, internal pros perity of the country, its continuous and steady advance ment in wealth and population, and private as well as public well-being, attest the wisdom of our institutions, and the p , ['dominant spirit of intelligence and patriotism which, notwithstanding occasional irregularities of opinion or actio❑ resulting from popular freedom, has distinguished and characterised the people of America. In the brief interval between the termination of the last and the commencement of the present session of Congress the public mind , has been occupied with the care of select ing, for another constitutional term, the President and Vice-President of the United States. Tho determination of the persons, who are of right, or contingently, to preside over the administration of the Go vernment is, under our system, committed to the States and the people. We appeal to them, by their voice pronounced in the force of law, to call whomsoever they will to the high post of Chief Magistrate. And thus it is that as the senators represent the respective States of the Union, and the members of the House of Re• prescntatives the several constituencies of each State, so the President represents the aggregate population of the United States. Their election of him is the explicit and solemn act of the sole sovereign authority of the Union. It is impossible to misapprehend the great principles which, by their recent political action, the people of the United States have sanctioned and announced. They have asserted the constitutional quality of each and all of the States of the Union as States ; they have affirmed the constitutional equality of each and all of the citizene of the United States as citizens, whatever their religion, whatever their birth, or their residence; they have maintained the inviolability of the constitutional sights of the different sections of the Union; and they have proclaimed their devoted attachment to the Union and to the Constitution, as objects of interest superior to all subjects of local or sectional controversy, as the safe guard of the rights of all, as the spirit and the essence of the liberty, peace, and greatness of the Republic. In doing this they have at the sable time emphatically condemned the idea of organising in these United States mere geographical parties ; of marshalling in hostile array toward each other the different parts of the country, north or :south, east or west Schemes of this nature, fraught with incalculable mis chief, and which the considerate sense of the people has rejected, could have had countenance in no part of the country had they not been disguised by suggestions plau sible in appearance, acting upon an excited state of the public mind, induced by causes temporary in their cha racter, and, it is to be hoped, transient in their influence. THE SLAVERY AND KANSAS AGITATION. Perfect liberty of association for political objects and the widest scope of discussion are the received and ordinary conditions of government in our country. Our institutions, framed in the spirit of confidence in the intelligence and in tegrity of the people, do not forbid citizens, either indivi dually or associated together, to attack by writing, speech, or other methods short of physical force, the constitutionand the very existence of the Union. Under the shelter of this great liberty, and Protected by the laws and usages of the Government they assail, associations have been formed, in some of the States, of individuals, who, pretending to seek only to prevent the spread of the institution of slavery into the present or future inchoate States of the Union, are really inflamed with desire to change the domestic in stitutions of existing States. To accomplish their objects they dedicate themselves to the cdious task of depreciating the Government organisa tion which stands in their way, and of calumniating with indiscriminate invective, not only the citizens'of particular State', with whose laws they find fault, but all others of their fellow-citizens throughout the country who do not participate with them in their assaults upon the constitution framed and adopted by our fathers, and claiming for the pri vileges it has secured, and the blessings it has conferred, the steady support and grateful reverence of their children. They seek an object which they well know to be a revolu tionary one. They are perfectly aware that the change in the relative condition of the white and black races in the slaveholding States, which they would promote, is be yond their lawful authority ; that to them it is a foreign object ; that it cannot be effected by any peaceful instru mentality of theirs ; that for them, and the States of which they are citizens, the only path to its accomplishment is through burning cities, and ravaged fields, and slaughtered populations, and all there is most terrible in foreign, com plicated with civil and servile war ; and that the first step in the attempt is the forcible disruption of a country em bracing in its broad bosom a degree of liberty, and an amount of individual and public prosperity to which there is no pargllel in history, and substituting in its place hostile governments, driven at once and inevitably into mutual de vastation and fratricidal carnage, transforming the now peaceful and felicitous brotherhood into a vast permanent camp of armed men like the rival monarchies of Europe and Asia. Well knowing that such, and such only, are the means and the consequences of their plans and purposes, they endeavour to prepare the people of the United States for civil war by doing everything in their power to deprive the constitution and the laws of moral authority, and to undermine the fabric of the Union by appeals to passion and sectional prejudice, by indoctrinating its people with reci procal hatred, and by educating them to stand face to face as enemies, rather than shoulder to shoulder as friends. It is by the agency of such unwarrantable interference, foreign and domestic, that the minds of many, otherwise good citizens, have been so inflamed into the passionate condemnation of the domestic institutions of the southern States, as at length to pass insensibly to almost equally passionate hostility towards their fellow-citizens of those w St i a th te t s ile ar a c v l o t w ht e i d s fi a n n a d ll a y to eti fall into veeneniies t o e f m t p h o e rar c y on f s e t l i lo tu w t s i h on ip . Ardently attached to liberty in the abstract, they do not stop to consider practically how the objects they would attain can be accomplished, nor to reflect that, even if the evil were as great as they deem it, they have no remedy to apply, and that it can be only aggravated by their violence and unconstitutional action. A ques tion which is one of the most difficult of all the pro blems of social institution, political economy, and states manship, they treat with unreasoning intemperance of thought and language. Extremes beget extremes. Violent attack from the North finds its inevitable consequence in the growth of a spirit of angry defiance at the South. Thus in the progress of events we had reached that consummation, which the voice of the people has now so pointedly rebuked, of the attempt of a portion of the States, by a sectional organisation and movement, to usurp the control of the Government of the United States. I confidently believe that the great body of those who inconsiderately took this fatal step are sincerely attached to the constitution and the Union. They would, upon deli beration, shrink with unaffected horror from any conscious act of disunion or civil war. But they have entered into a path, which loads no .vhere, unless it be to civil war and disunion, and which has no other possible outlet. They have proceeded thus far in that direction in consequence of the successive stages of their progress having consisted of a series of secondary issues, each of which professed to be confined within constitutional and peaceful limits, but which attempted indirectly what few mon were willing to do directly; that is, to act aggre-sively against the consti tutional rights of nearly one-half of the 31 States. In the long series of acts of indirect aggression, the first was the strenuous agitation, by citizens of the Northern States, in Congress and out of it, of the question of eman cipation in the Southern States. The second step in this path of evil consisted of acts of the people of the Northern States, and in several instances of their Governments, aimed to facilitate the escape of per sons held to service in the Southern States, and to prevent their extradition when reclaimed according to law and in irtue of express provision s of the constitution. To pro mote this object, legislative enactments and other means were adopted to take away or defeat rights which the constitution solemnly guaranteed. In order to nullify the then existing act of Congress concerning the extradition of fugitives from service, laws were enacted in many States for bidding their officers, under the severest penalties, to partici pate in the execution of any act of Congress whatever. In this way that system of harmonious co-operation between the authorities of the United States and of the several States, for the maintenance of their common institutions, which existed in the early years of the Republic, seas d e . stroyed ; conflicts ofjurisdiction came to bo frequent; and Congress found itself compelled, for the support of the constitution, and the vindication of its power, to authorise the appointment of new officers charged with the execu. tion of its acts, as if they and the officers of the States were the Ministers respectively of foreign Governments in a state of mutual hostility, rather than follow magistrates of a common country, peacefully subsisting under the pro tection of a well•constitutioned union. Thus, here also' aggression was followed by reaction ; and the attacks upon the constitution at this point did but serve to raise up new barriers for its defence and security. The third stage of this unhappy controversy was in connec tion with the organisation of territorial governments, and the admission of new States into the Union. When it was proposed to admit the State of Maine, by separation of ter-, ritory from that of Ilassachusetts, and the State of Missouri formed of a portion of the territory ceded by France to the United States, representatives in Congress objected to the admission of the latter, unless with conditions suited to particular views of public policy. The imposition of such a condition was successfully resisted. But, at the same time, the question was presented of imposing restrictions upon the residue of the territory ceded by France. That question was for the time disposed of by the adoption of a geographical line of limitation. In this connection it should not be forgotten that France, of her own accord, resolved, for considerations of the most far-sighted sagacity, to eerie Louisiana to the United States, and that accession was accepted by the United States ; the latter expressly engaged that " the inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incor porated in the Union of the United States, and ad mitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the Federal Constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages, and immunities of citizens of the United States; in the meantime they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the religion which they profess"—that is to say, While it remains in a territorial condition, •its inhabitants are maintained and protected i❑ the free enjoyment of their liberty, with a right then to pps into the condition of States on a footing of perfect ecivality with the original States. The enactment which established the restrictive geogra phical line was acquiesced in rather than approved by the States of the Union. It stood on the statute book, how , ever, for a number of years ; and the people of the respec. tive States acquiesced in the re-enactment of the principle as applied to the State of Texas; and it was proposed to acquiesce in its further application to the territory ac quired by the United States from Mexico. But this pro position was successfully resisted by the representatives from the Northern States, who, regardless of the statute line, insisted upon applyizg restz iction to the new territory generally, whether lying north or south of it—thereby re pealing it as a legislative compromise, and, on the part of the North, persistently violating the compact, if compact there was. Thereupon this enactment ceased to have binding virtue in any sense, whether as respects the North or the South ; and so in effect it was treated on the occasion of the ad mission of the States of California, and the organisation of the territories of New Mexico, Utah, and Washington. Such was the state of this question when the time arrived for the organisation of the territories of Kansas and Ne braska. In the progress of constitutional inquiry and re flection, it had now at length come to be seen clearly that Congress does not possess constitutional power to impose restrictions of this character upon any present or future State of the Union. In a long series of decisions, on the fullest argument, and after the most deliberate considera tion, the Supreme Court of the United States had finally determined this point in every form under which the ques tion could arise, whether as affecting public or private rights—in questions of the public domain, of religion, of navigation, and of servitude. The several States of the Union are, by force of the con stitution, coequal in domestic legislative power. Congress cannot change a law of domestic relation in the State of Maine; no more can it in the State of Missouri. Any statute which proposes to do this is a mere nullity ; it takes away no right, it confers none. If it remains on the statute book unrepsalod, it remains there only as a monument of error, and a beacon of warning to the legislator and the stat esman . To repeal it will be only to remove imperfection from the statutes, without affecting, either in the sense of permission or of prohibition, the action of the States or of their citizens. Still, when the nominal restriction of this nature, already a dead letter in law, was, in terms, repealed by the last Congress, in a clause of the aot organising the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, that repeal was made the occa sion of a wide-spread and dangerous agitation. It was alleged that the original enactment being a com pact of perpetual moral obligation, its repeal constituted an odious breach of faith. An Act of Congress, while it remains uiirepealed, more especially if it be constitutionally valid in the judgment of those functionaries whose duty it is to pronounce on that point, is undoubtedly binding on the conscience of each good citizen of the Republic. But in what sense can it be asserted that the enactment in question was invested with perpetuity and entitled to the resfiat* of a solemn Wm pact ? No distinct contending powers of the theyeynment; no separate sections of tha Union, treating as each, en tered into treaty stipulations on the subject. It was a mere clause of an Act of Congress, and, like any other con broverted matter of legislation, received its final shape, and was passed by compromise of the conflicting opinions or sentiments of the members of Congress. But if it ha d authority over men's consciences, to whom did this autho rity attach ? Not to those of the North, who had repeat edly refused to confirm it by extension, and who had zea lously striven to establish other and incompatible regula tions upon the subject. And if, as it thus appears, the sup posed compact had no obligatory force as to the Nortk, of course it could not have had any as to the South, for all such compacts must be mutual and of reciprocal obligation. It has not unfrequently happened that law-givers, with undue estimation of the value of the law they give, or in the view of imparting to it peculiar strength, make it per petual in terms ; but they cannot thins bind the conscience, the judgment, and the will of those who may succeed them invested with similar responsibilities, and clothed with equal authority. More careful investigation may prove the law to be unsound in principle. Experience may show to be imperfect in detal and impracticable in execution. And then both reason and right combine, not merely to justify, but to require its repeal. The constitution, supreme as it is over all the depart ments of the Government, legislative, executive, and judi cial, is open to amendment by its very terms; and Congress or the States may, in their discretion, propose amendment to it, solemn compact though it in truth is between the sovereign States of the Union. In the present instance, a political enactment, which had ceased to have legal power or authority of any kind, was repealed. The position assumed that Congress had no moral right to enact such repeal, was strange enough, and singularly in view of the fact that the argument came from those who openly re fused obedience to existing laws of the land, having the same popular designation and quality as compromise acts —nay, more, who unequivocally disregarded and con demned the most positive and obligatory injunctions of the constitution itself, and sought by every means within their reach, to deprive a portion of their fellow-citizens of the equal enjoyment of those rights and privileges gua ranteed alike to all by the fundamental compact of our Union. This argument against the repeal of the statute line in question, was accompanied by another of congenial charac ter, and equally with the former destitute of foundation in reason and truth. it was imputed that the measure origi nated in the conception of extending the limits of slave. labour beyond those recently assigned to it, and that such was its natural as well as intended effect; and these base less assumptions wore made, in the northern States, the ground of unceasing assault upon constitutional right. The repeal in terms of a statute which was already obso lete, and also null for unconstitutionality, could have no influence to obstruct or to promote the propagation of con flicting views of political or social institution. When the act organising the territories of Kansas and Nebraska was passed, the inherent effect upon that portion of the public domain thus opened to legal settlement was to admit set tlers from all the States of the Union alike, each with his convictions of public policy and private interest, there to found in their discretion, subject to such limitations as the constitution and acts of Congress might prescribe, new States, hereafter to be admitted into the Union. It was a free field, open alike to all, whether the statute line of assumed restriction were repealed or not. That re peal did not open to free competition of the diverse opi nions and domestic institutions a field, which, without such repeal, would have been closed against them ; it found that field of competition , already opened, in fact and in law. All the repeal did was to relieve the statute-book of an objectionable enactment, unconstitutional in effect, and injurious in terms to a large portion of the States. Is it the fact that in all the unsettled regions of the United States, if emigration be left free to act in this re• spect for itself, without legal prohibition on either side, slaye labour will spontaneously go everywhere in prefer ence to free labour ? Is it the fact, that th e peculiar do mestic institutions of the Southern States possess relatively so much of vigour, that wheresoever an avenue is freely open to all the world they will penetrate to the exclusion of those of the Northern States ? Is it the fact that the former enjoy, compared with the latter, such irresistible superior vitality, independent of soil, and all other acci dental circumstances, as to be able to produce the supposed result, in spite of the assumed moral and natural obstacles to its accomplishment, and of the more numerous popula tion of she Northern States ? The argument of those who advocate the enactment of new laws of restriction, and condemn the repeal of old ones, in effect aver their particular views of government have no self-extending or self-sustaining powers of their own, and will go nowhere unless forced by act of Congress. And if Congress do but pause for a moment in the policy of stern coercion—if it venture to try the experiment of leav ing men to judge for th9mwelves what institutions will best suit them—if it be not strained up to perpetual legislative exertion on this point—if Congress proceeded thus to act in the very spirit of liberty, it is at once charged with aim ing to extend slave labour into all the new territories of the United States. Of course these imputations on the intentions of Con gress in this respect, conceived as they were in prejudice, and disseminated in passion, are utterly destitute of any justification of the nature of things, and contrary to all the fundame n t a l d oc t r i nes an d principlesi of civil liberty and s 31 f - government. While, therefore, in general, the people of the Northern States have never, at any time, arrogated for the feudal government the power to interfere directly with the do mestic condition of persons in the Southern States,' but, on the contrary, have . disavowed all such intention and have shrunk from conspicuous affiliation with those few who pursue their fanatical objects avowedly through the contemplated means of revolutionary change of the go vernment, and with 'acceptance of the necessary conse quences--a civil and servile war—yet many citizens have suffered themselves to be drawn into one evanescent politi cal issue of agitation after another, appertaining to the same set of opinions, and which subsided as rapidly as they arose when it came to be seen, as uniformly it did, that they were incompatible with the compacts of the constitu tion and the existence of the Union. . Thus, whets the . acts of some of the States to nullify the existing extradition law imposed upon Congress the duty of passing a new one, the country was invited by agitators to enter into party orga.nisation for its repeal ; but that agita tion speedily ceased by reason of the impracticability of its object. So, when the statute restiction upon the institu tions of new States, by a geographical line, had been re pealed, the country was urged to demand its restoration, and that project died almost with its birth. Then fol lowed the cry of alarm' from the North against imputed Southern encroachments, which cry sprang in reality from the spirit of revolutionary attack on the domestic institu tions of the South, and after a troubled existence of a few months has been rebuked by the voice of a patriotic people. Of this last agitation one lamentable feature was, that it was carried on at the immediate expense of the peace and happiness of the people of the territory of Kansas. That was made the battle-field, not so much of opposing factions or interests within itself, as of the conflicting pas sions of the whole people of the United. Stases. Revolu tionary disorder in Kansas had its ntigin in projects of intervention, deliberately arranged by certain members of that Congress which enacted the law for the organisation of the territory. And when propagandist colonisation of Kansas had thus been undertaken in one section of the Union, for the systematic promotion of its peculiar views of policy, there ensued, as a matter of course, a counter act on with opposite views in other Sections of the Union. In consequence of these and other incidents many acts of disorder, it is undeniable, have been perpetrated in Kansas, to the occasional interruption, rather than the permanent suspension, of regular sovernment. Aggressive and most reprehensible incursions into the territory were undertaken, both in the North and the South, and entered it on its northern border by way of lowa, as well as on its eastern by way of Missouri; and there has existed within it a state of insurrection against the constituted authori ties, not without countenance from inconsiderate persons in each of the great sections of the Union. But the diffi culties in that territory have been extravagantly exagge rated for purposes of political agitation elsewhere. The number and gravity of the acts of violence have been magnified partly by statements entirely untrue, and pai tly by reiterated accounts of the same rumours or facts. Thus the territory has been seemingly filled with extreme vio lence, when the whole amount of such acts have not been greater than what occasionally passes before us in single cities to the regret of all good citizens, but without being re garded as of general or permanent political consequence. Imputed irregularities in the elections bad in Kansas, like occasional irregularities of the same description in the States, were beyond the sphere of action of the Executive. But incidents of actual violence or of organised obstruction of law, pertinaciously renewed from time to time, have been met as they occurred, by such means as were a vailableand as the circumstances required ; and nothing of this charac ter now remains to affect the general Peace of the Union. The attempt of a part of the inhabitants of the territory to erect a revolutionary government, though sedulously en couraged and supplied with pecuniary aid from active agents of disorder in some of the States, has completely fa led. Bodies of armed men, foreign to the territory, have been prevented from entering or compelled to leave it. Preda tory bands, engaged in acts of rapine, under cover o f th e existing political disturbances, have been arrested or dis persed. And every well-disposed personin now enabled once more to devote himself in peace to the pursuits of prosperous industry, for the prosecution of which he un dertook to participate in the settlement of the country. It affords me nnmingled satisfaction thus to announce the peaceful condition of things in Kansas, especially consider ing themeans to which it was necessary to have recourse for the attainment of the end, viz., the employment of a part of the military force of the United States. The withdrawal of that force from its proper duty of defending the country against foreign foes or the savages of the frontier to employ it for the suppression of domestic insurrection is, when the exigency occurs, a matter of the most earnest s olicitude. Oa this occasion of imperative necessity it has been done with the best results, and my satisfaction in the attainment of such results by such means is greatly enhanced by the con sideration that through the wisdetn and energy of the pre- Ben t Executive of Kansas, and the prudence, firmness, and vigilance of the military officers on duty there, tranquillity has been restored without a drop of blood having been shed in its accomplishment by the forces of the United States. The restoration of comparative tranquillity in that terri tory furnishes the means of observing calmly, and appre ciating at their just value, the events which have occurred there, and the discussions of which the Government of the territory has been the subject. We perceive that controversy concerning its future do mestic institutions was inevitable; that no human pru dence, no form of legislation, no - wisdom on the part of C"ZEQl464aaldiserevented this. 'ft itielle to supposelbat r thisrparticular provisions of their organic law were the cause of -.agit,aticm,:,,,,Xtioje proyisions were but the occasion, or the pretext, of an agitation whieb was inherent in the nature of things. Congress legislated upon the subject in such terms as were most consonant with the principle of popular sovereignty which underlies our Government, It could not have legislated otherwise without doing violence to another great principle of our institutions, the iniprescriptibl e right of equality of the several States. We perceive, also, that sectional interests and party pas sions have been the great impediment to the salutary opera tions of the organic principles adopted, and the chief cause of the successive disturbances in Kansas. The assumption that, because is the organisation of territories of Nebraska and Kansas, Congress abstained from imposing restraints upon them to which certain other territories had been sub ject, therefore disorders occurred in the latter territory, is emphatically contradicted by the fact that none have oc curred in the former. Those disorders were not the con sequence in Kansas of the freedom of self-government conceded to that territory by Congress, but of unjust in terference on the part of persons not inhabitants of the ter ritory. Such interference, wherever it has exhibited itself, by acts of insurrectionary character, or of obstruction to processes of law, has been rep e ll e d or suppressed, by all' the means which the constitution and the laws place in the hands of the Executive. In these parts of the United States, where, by reason of the inflamed state of the public mind, false rumours and misrepresentations have the greatest currency, it has been assumed that it was the duty of the Executive not only to suppress insurrectionary movements in Kansas, but also to see to the regularity of local elections. It needs little argu ment to show that the President has no such power. All government in the United States rests substdiatially upon popular election. The freedom of elections is liable to be impaired by the intrusion of unlawful votes, or the exclu sioe of unlawful ones, by improper influences, by violence, or by fraud. But the people of the United States are the all-sufficient guardians of their own rights, and to suppose that they will not remedy in due season any such incidents of civil freedom, is to suppose them to have ceased to be capable of self-government. The President of the United States has not power to in terpose in elections, to see to their freedom, to canvass their votes, or to pass an opinion upon their legality in the terri tories any more than i n th e St a t es. If I ,had such power theEGovernment might be republican in form, but it would be a monarchy in fact ; and if he had undertaken to exer cise it in the case of Kansas, ho would have been justly subject to the charge of usurpation and of violation of the dearest rights of the people of the United States. Unwise laws, equally with irregulai ities at elections, are, in periods of great excitement, the 000asional incidents of even the freest and best political institutions. But all ex perience demonstrates that in a country like ours, where the right of self-constitution exists in the completest form, the attempt to remedy unwise legislation by resort to re volution is totally out of place, inasmuch as existing legal institutions afford more prompt and efficacious means for the redresS of wrong. I confidently trust that now, when the peaceful condition of Kansas affords opportunity for calm reflection and wise legislation, either the Legislative Assembly of the territory, or Congress, will see that no act shall remain on its statute book violative of the provisions of the constitution, or sub versive of the great objects for which that was ordained and established, and will take all the necessary steps to assure to its inhabitants the enjoyment, without obstruction or abridgment, of all the constitutional rights, privileges, and immunities of citizens of the United States, as con templeted by the organic law of the territory. Full information in relation to recent events in this ter ritory will be found in the documents communicated here with from the Departments of State and War. FINANCE. I refer you to the report of the Secretary of the Treasury for particular information concerning the financial condi tion of the Government, and the various branched of the public service connected with the Treasury' Department. During the last fiscal year the receipts from customs were for the first time, more than 64,000,00 a dols., and all sources, 73,918,141 dols. ; which, with the balance on hand up to the Ist of July, 1855, made the total resources of the year amount to 92,850,117 dols. The expenditures, in cluding 3,000,000 dollars in execution of the treaty with Mexico, and excluding sums paid on account of the public debt, amounted to 60,172,401 dole.; and, including the lat ter, to ;2,941,798 dols., the payment on this account hav ing amounted to 12,776,390 dol. On the 4th of March, 1853, the amount of the public debt was 69,129,937 dols. There was a subsequent in crease of 2,750,000 dols. for the debt of Texas—making a total of 71,879,937 dols. Of this sum 45,525,319 dollars, including premium, has been discharged, reducing the debt to 30,737,129 dols., all of which might be paid within a year without embarrassing the public service; but being not yet due, and only redeemable at the option of the holder, cannot be pressed to payment by the Government. Oa examining the expenditure of the last five years, it will be seen that the average, deducting payments on ac count of the public debt and $10,00.1,0110 paid by treaty to Mexico, has been but about $18,000,000. It is believed that, under an economical administration of the Govern ment, the average expenditure for the ensuing five years will not exceed that sum, unless extraordinary occasion for its increase should occur. The acts granting bounty lands will soon have been executed, while the extension of our frontier sottlernents will cause a continued demand for lands and augmented receipts, probably, from that source. These considerations will justify a reduction of the revenue from v customs so as not to exceed $48,e00,030 or $50,000,030. I think the exigency for such reduction is imperative, and again urge it upon the consideration of Congress. The amount of reduction, as well as the manner of effect ing it, are questions of great and general interest ; it being essential to industrial enterprise and general prosperity, as well as the dictate of obvious justice, that the burden of taxation be made to rest as equally as possible upon all classes and all sections and interests of the country. I have heretofore recommended to your consideration the Z' ' 'h 7/ I C /, `- / I 9- , _ , A a } fir_: _ .. ~~~ ~.~._~. ~r: vourable opportunity seemed to be presented 4jr obtaitting a general recognition o f th em b oth in Europa' axict*tneraca. lint Great Britain and France, iu common ielarinosteof the States 'of Europe, while forbearing to reject,' au tot - affirmatively act upon the overtures of the United State!. While the question was in this position, the repleientaa lives of Russia, France, Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, and Turkey, assembled at Paris, took into con sideration the subject of maritime rights, and put forth a declaration containing the t wo p r i nc i p l es which this Go verumeet had submitted. nearly two years before, to the consideration of the maritime Powers, and adding thereto the following propositions :—" Privateering is and remains abolished," and "Blockades, in ord er t o b e bi n di ng, must be effective—that is to say, maintained by a force suffi cient nosily to prevent access to the coast of the enemy," and to the declaration thus composed of four points, two of wirich had already been proposed by the United States, this Gev ernment has been invited to accede by all the Powers represented at Paris, except Great Britain and Tut key. To the last of the two additional propositions—that in relation to the blockades —there can certainly be no objec tion. It is merely the definition of what shall constitute the effectual investment of a blockaded place, a definition for which this Government has always contended, claim ing indemnity for losses where a practical violation of the rule thus defined has been injurious to our commerce, As to the remaining article of the declaration of the Confer ence of Paris, " That privateering is and remains abo lished," I certainly cannot ascribe to the Powers repre sented in the Conference of Paris any but liberal and phi lanthropic views in the attempt to change the unquestion able rule of maritime law in regard to privateering. Their proposition was, doubtless, intended to imply ap proval of the principle that p r i va t e property upon the asto give full e ff ect to the ocean, although it might belong to the citi zens of a belli gerent State, should be exempte from capt ure • an d had principle, that it proposition w ou would haveen s s received framed my ready as sen t on b ehalf of the United States. But the measure proposed is inade quate to that purpose, It is true that if adopted private property upon the ocean would be withdrawn from nue mode of plunder, but left exposed meanwhile to another mode, which could be used with increased effectiveness. The aggressive capacity of great naval Powers would be thereby augmented, while the defensive ability of others would be reduced. Though the surrender of the means of prosecuting hosti lities by employing privateers, as proposed by the Confer ence of Paris, it is mutual in terms, yet iu practical effect it would be the relinquishment of a right of little value to one class of States, but of essential importance to another and far larger class. It ought not to have been anticipated that a measure so inadequate to the accomplishment of the proposed object, and so unequal in its operation, would re ceive the :agent of all maritime powers. Private property would be still left to the depredations of the public armed cruisers. I have expressed a readiness on the part of this Govern ment to accede to all the principles contained in the decla-. ration of the Conference at Paris; provided that relating to the abandonment of privateering can be so amended as to effect the object for which, as is presumed, it was intended, the immunity of private property on the ocean from hos tile capture. To effect this object, it is proposed to add to the declara tion that "privateering. is and remains abolished," the following amendment :—" And that the private property of subjects and citizens of a belligerent on the high seas shall be exempt from seizure by the public armed vessele of the other belligerent, except it be contraband." This amend ment has been presented not only to the Powers which have asked our alsont to the declaration to abolish privateering, but to all other maritime States. Thus far it has not been rejected by any, and is favourably entertained by all which have made any communication in reply. Several of the Governments, regarding with favour the proposition of the United States, have delayed definite action upon it only for the purpose of consulting others, parties to the Conference of Paris. I have the satisfaction of stating, however, that the Emperor of Russia has en tirely and explicitly approved of that modification, and will co-operate in endeavouring to obtain the assent of other Powers, and that assurances of a similar purport have been received in relation to the disposition of the Emperor of the French. ul+~ ~.,~ The present aspect of this important subject allows us to cherish the hope that a principle so humane in its character, so just and equal in its operations, so °auntie] to the prosperity of commercial nations, and so consonant to the sentiments of this enlightened period of the world, will command the approbation of all maritime Poe ers, and thus be incorporated into the code of international law. My views on the subject are more fully set forth in the reply of the Secretary of State, a copy of which is herewith transmitted, to the communications on the subject made to to this Government, especially to the communication of France. MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA. The Government of the United States has at all times rag trded with friendly interest the other States of America, formerly, like this country, European colonies, and now independent members of the great family of nations. But the unsettled condition of some of them, distracted by fre quent revolutions, and thus incapable of regular and firm internal administration, has tended to embarrass occasion ally our public intercourse, by reason of wrongs which oar citizens suffer at their bands, and which they are slow to redress. Unfortunately it is against the Republic of Mexico, with which it is our special desire to maintain a good under standing, that such complaints are most numerous; and although earnestly urged upon its attention, they have not as yet received the consideration which this Government had a right to expect. While reparation for lowa injuries has been withheld others have been added. The political condition of that country, however, has been such as to de mand forbearance on the part of the United States. I shall continue my efforts to procure for the wrongs of our citizens that redress which is indispensable to the conti nued friendly association of tho two republics. The peculiar condition of affairs of Nicaragua in the early part of the present year rendered it important that this Government should have diplomatic relations with that State. Through its territory has been opened one of the principal thoroughfares across the isthmus connecting North and South America, on whicha vast amount of pro perty was transported, and to which our citizens resorted in great numbers in passing between the Atlantic and Paci fic, coasts of the United States. The protection of both re quired that the existing power in that State should bore- gal ded as a responsible Government, and its Minister was accordingly received. But he remained here only a short tine. Soon thereafter the political affairs of Nicarag ua under went unfavourable change, and became involved in much uncertainty and confusion. Diplomatic representatives from two contending parties have been recently sent to this Government ; but, with the imperfect information possessed, it was not possible to decide which was the Government de facto ; and awaiting further developments I have refused to receive either. Questions of the most serious nature are pending be tween the United States and the Republic of New Gra nada. The Government of that Republic undertook, a year since, to impose tonnage on foreign vessels in her ports, but the purpose was resisted by this Government, as being contrary to existing treaty stipulation with the United States, and to rights conferred by charter upon the Panama Railroad Company, and was accordingly relinquished at that time, it being admitted that our vessels were entitled to be exempt from tonnage duty in the free ports of Panama and Aspinwall. But the purpose has been recently revived, oa the part of New Granada, by the enactment of a law to subject vessels visiting her ports to the tonnage duty of 40 cents per ton; and, although the law has not been put in force, yet the right to enforce it is still asserted, and may at any time be acted on by the Government of that Republic. The Congress of New Granada has also enacted a law, during the last year, which levies a tax of more then $3 on every pound of ma il transported across the isthmus. The sum thus required to be paid en the mails of the United States would be nearly $2,000,000 annually, in addition to the large sum payable bycontract to the Panama Railroad Company. If the only objection to this exaction were the exorbitancy of its amount, it could not Le sub mitted to by the United States. The imposition of it, however, would obviously contra vene our treaty with New Granada, and infringe the con tract of the Republic with the Panama Railroad Comp any. The law for providing for this tax was, by its terms , s 1,0 take effect on the let Sept. last, but the local authorities on the isthmus have been induced to suspend its execution, and to await further instructions on the subject fr om the Government of the Republic. I am not yet advised of the d e t erm ination of that Government. If a me asure so extra ordinary contraryto in its character, and so clearly rc a Rail road c itizens, s p e cul c a o ti m on p s an a y n , d eo t to he no c e o e n d tra in c o t e ri tl g y ht o s f ofAthe American e Panam a should be persisted in, it will be the duty of th e U n it e d States to resist its execution.

The present for th e p ro p er ty p illag ed . Y Condition of the Isthmus of Panama, in so far as regards the secuetof e rsons and property passing over it, r equ i res serious l c on sideration. Recent incidents tend to show that the local authorities cannot be relied on to maintain the public peace of Panama, and there is just ground for apprehension that a portion of the inhabitants are meditatin g further outrages, without ade q uate mea sures for the security end protection of persons or propert having 6 been taken either by the State of Panama or by the general Government of New Granada. Under the guarantees of treaty, citizens of the United States have, by the outlay of several millions of dollar% constructed a railroad across the isthmus, and it has be come the main route between our Atlantic and Pacific pos sessions, over which multitudes of our citizens and a vast amount of property are constantly passing—to the security and protection of all which, and the continuance of the public advantages involved, it is impossible for tug Govern. ment of the United States to be indifferent. I have ceeuaed the danger of the recurrence of scenes of lawless violence iu this quarter so imminent as to make it my duty to station a part of our naval force in the Ear: boors of Panama and Aspinwall, in order to protect the persons and property of the citizens of the United States in those ports, and to insure to them safe passage ac ross the isthmus. And it would, in my judgment, b e unw i se to withdraw the naval force now in those ports until, by th e s pontaneous action of the Republic of NewGrened e or otherwise, some adequate arrangement shall have been 11° ave been made for the protection and security of a line ns of 4 i .ere oceanic communication se important at this ti me, the United States only, but to all oth • not to other maritime States both of Europe and America.
