SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfig Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequent es may be avoided, and above all, that there is e cjreely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MEET has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the are of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated üblications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues f their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

For a more full account of this transaction and my my views in regard to it, I refer to the correspondence between the Charge d'Affaires of Austria and the Secre tary of State, which is herewith transmitted. The principles and policy therein maintained on the part of the United States will, whenever a proper occasion occurs, be applied and enforced. The condition of China at this time renders it pro bable that some important changes will occur in that vast empire which will lead to a more unrestricted inter ! course with it. The commissioner to that country, who has been recently appointed, is instructed to avail him self of all occasions to open and extend our commercial relations, not only with the empire of China, but with other Asiatic nations. In 1852 an expedition was sent to Japan, under the command of Commodore Perry, for the purpose of open ing commercial intercourse with that empire. Intelli gence has been received of his arrival there, and of his having made known to the Emperor of Japan the object of his visit ; but it is not yet ascertained how far the Emperor will be disposed to abandon his restrictive policy, and open that populous country to a commercial intercourse with the United States. It has been my earnest desire to maintain friendly in tercourse with the Governments upon this Continent,and to aid them in preserving a good understanding among themselves. With Mexico, a dispute has arisen as to the true boundary line between our territory of New Mexico and the Mexican State of Chihuahua. A for mer commissioner of the United States, employed in running that line pursuant to the treaty of Guadaloupe Hidalgo, made a serious mistake in determining the d in e i c t i i s a i l on po w in a t s o cl n ea t r h ly e tracing the boundary contained in that treaty, and was a n d i e o p G a r r t a u r n d o e fr ; b m u t t , h inasmuch i n a s s f h o i r s not concurred in by the surveyor appointed on the part of the United States, whose concurrence was necessary to give validity to that decision, this Government is not concluded the re by ; b u t th a t o f Mexico takes a different view of the subject. There are also other questions of considerable magni tude pending between the two republics. Our Minister in Mexico has ample instructions to adjust them. Ne gotiations have been opened, but sufficient progress has not been made therein to enable me to speak of the pro bable result. Impressed with the importance of main taining amicable relations with that republic, and of yielding with liberality to all her just claims, it is rea sonable to expect that an arrangement, mutually satis factory to both countries, may be concluded, and a last ing friendship between them confirmed and perpetuated. Congress having provided for a full mission to the States of Central America, a Minister was sent thither in July last. As yet he has had time to visit only one of these States (Nicaragua), where he was received in the most friendly manner. It is hoped that his presence and good offices will have a benign effect in composing the dissensions which prevail among them, and in esta blishing still more intimate and friendly relations be tween them respectively, and between each of them and the United States. Considering the vast regions of this continent, and the number of states whichmould be made accessible by the free navigation of the river Amazon, particular atten tion has been given to this subject. Brazil, through whose territories it passes into the ocean, has hitherto persisted in a policy so restrictive, in regard to the use of this river, as to obstruct, and nearly exclude, foreign commercial intercourse with the states which lie upon its tributaries and upper branches. Our minister to that country is instructed to obtain a relaxation of that policy, .iro the CIIARITABLE.—Members of Societies „IC and others, now preparing their customary 'gifts to the Poor at this inclement season, are advised that F CANNEL S, BLANKETS, and all similar materials, calculated to give not merely an empty appearance, but the actual warmth and usefulness intended by benevolent donors; such are SELLING OFF at a great reduction from their actual value, in consequence of the recent dissolution 'of Partnership, at Warwick House, 142 and 144, Regent-street.

THE UNITED STATES-. • THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. In The Sun of yesterday we published only the more important passages of the First Message of President Pierce to the 'Congress of the United States, convened at Washington, on the sth De cember. The following is a copy'of the document - - in extenso : . Fellow-Citizens of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives The interest with which the people of the Republic anticipate the assembling of Congress, and the fulfil ment, on that occasion, of the duty imposed up on a new President, is one of the best evidences of their ca pacity to realise the hopes of the founders of a political system at once complex alpd symmetrical. While the different branches of the fl-overnment are, to a certain extent, independe n t o f e ac h o th er, the duties of all, alike, have direct reference to the source of power. For tunately, under this system, no man is so high, and none so humble, in the scale of public station, as to escape from the scrutiny, or to be exempt from the re sponsibility, which all official fanctioni imply. Upon the justice and intelligence of the masses, in a Government thus organised, is the sole reliance of the confederacy, and the only security for honest and earnest devotion .to its interests, against the usurpations and encroachments of power on the one hand, and the as saults of personal ambition on the other. The interest of which I have spoken is inseparable from an inquiring, self- governing community, but stimulated, doubtless, at the present time, by the un settled condition of our relations with several foreign Powers ; by the new obligations resulting from a sudden extension of the field of enterprise ; by the spirit with which that field has been entered, and the amazing energy with which its resources for meeting the demands of humanity have been developed. Although disease, assuming at one time the charac teristics of a wide-spread and devastatin g pestilence, has left its sad traces upon some portions of our country, we have still the most abundant cause for reverent thank fulness to God for an accumulation of signal mercies showered upon us as a nation. It is well that a con sciousness of rapid advancement and increasing strength be habitually associated with an abiding sense of de pendence upon Him who holds in his hands the destiny of men and of nations. Recognising the wisdom of the broad principle of ab solute religious toleration proclaimed in our fundamental law, and rejoicing in the benign influence which it has exerted upon our social and political condition, I should shrink from a clear duty did I fail to express my deepest conviction that we can place no secure reliance upon any apparent progress, if it be not sustained by national in tegrity, resting upon the great truths affirmed and illus treated by divine revelation. In the midst of our sorrow for the afflicted and suffering, it has been consoling to see how promptly disaster made true neighbours of dis tricts and cities widely separated from each other, and cheering to watch the strength of that common bond of brotherhood which unites all hearts, in all parts of this union, when danger threatens from abroad, or calamity impends over us at home. Our diplomatic relations with foreign Powers have undergone no essential change since the adjournment of the last Congress. With some of them questions of a disturbing character are still pending, but there are good reasons to believe that these may all be amicably ad justed. For some years past Great Britain has so construed the first article of the convention of the 20th of April, 1818, in regard to the fisheries on the north-eastern coast, so as to exclude our citizens from some of the fishing grounds, to which they freely resorted for nearly a quarter of a century subsequent to the date of that treaty. The United States have never acquiesced in this construction, but have always claimed for their fishermen all the rights which they had so long enjoyed without molestation. With a view to remove all diffi culties on the subject, to extend the rights of our fisher• men beyond the limits fixed by the convention. of 1818, and to regulate trade between the United States and the British North American provinces, a negotiation has been opened, with a fair prospect of a favourable result. To protect our fishermen in the enjoyment of their rights, and prevent collision between them and British fishermen, I deemed it expedient to station a naval force in that quarter during the fishing season. Embarrassing questions have also arisen between the two Governments in regard to Central America. Great Britain has proposed to settle them by an amicable arrangement, and our Minister at London is instructed to enter into negotiations on that subject. A commission for adjusting the claims of our citizens against Great Britain, and those of British subjects against the United States, organised under the conven tion of the Bth Februarylast is now sitting in London for the transaction of business. It is in many respects desirable that the boundary line between the United States and the British provinces in the north-west, as designated in the convention of the 15th ofJune, 1846, and especially that part which sepa rates the territory of Washington from the British pos sessions on the north should be traced and marked. I therefore present the subject to your notice. With France our relations continue on the most friendly footing. The extensive commerce between the United States and that country might, it is conceived, be released from some unnecessary restrictions, to the mu tual advantage of both parties. With a view to this subject some progress has been made in negotiating a treaty of commerce and navigation. Independe n tly o f our valuable trade with Spain, we have important political relations with her, growing out of our neighbourhood to the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. I am happy to announce, that since the last Congress no attempts have been made by unauthorised expeditions within the United States, against either of those colonies. Should any movement be manifested within our limits, all the means at my command will be vigorously exerted to repress it. Several annoy ing occurrences have taken place at Havannab, or in the vicinity of the island of Cuba, between our citizens and the Spanish authorities. Considering the proximity of that island to our shores, lying as it does in the track of trade between some of our principal cities, and the suspicious vigilance with which foreign intercourse, par ticularly that with the United States, is there guarded, a repetition of such occurrences may well be apprehended. As no diplomatic intercourse is allowed between our consul at Havannab and the Captain-General of Cuba, ready explanations cannot be made, or prompt redress afforded, where injury has resulted. All complaint on the part bf our citizens, under the present arrangement, must be, in the first place, presented to this Government, and then referred to Spain ; Spain again refers it to her local authorities in Cuba for investigation, and postpones an answer till she has heard from those authorities. To avoid these irritating and vexatious delays, a proposition has been made to.eprovide for a direct appeal for redress 4 - n the captain-general by our consul, in behalf of our injured fellow-citizens. Hitherto, the Government of Spain has declined to enter into any such arrangement. This course on her part is deeply regretted ; for, without some arrangement of this kind, the good understanding between the two countries may be exposed to occasional interruption. Our Minister at Madrid is instructed to renew the proposition, and to press it again up on th e consideration of her Catholic Majesty's Government. For several years Spain has been calling the attention of this Government to a claim for losses, by some of h er subjects, in the case of the schooner Amistad. This claim is believed to rest on the obligations imposed by our existing treaty with that country. Its justice was admitted, in our diplomatic correspondence with the Spanish Government, as early as March, 1847 ; and one of my predecessors, in his annual message of that year, recommended that provision should be made for its pay writ. In January last it was again submitted to Con gress by the executive. It has received a favourable consideration by committees of both branches, but as yet there has been no final action upon it. I conceive that good faith requires its prompt adjustment, and I present it to your early and favourable consideration. Martin Koszta, a Hungarian by birth, came to this country in 1850, and declared his intention, in due form of law, to become a citizen of the United States. After remaining here nearly two years, he visited Turkey. 1 While at Smyrna he was forcibly seized, taken on board an Austrian brig of war, then lying in the harbour of that place, and there confined in irons,. with the avowed design to take him into . the dominions of Austria. Our consul at Smyrna and legation at Con stantinople, interposed for his release, • but their efforts were ineffectual. While thus imprisoned, Commander Ingraham, with the United States ship of war St. Louis arrived at Smyrna, and, after inquiring into the circum stances of the case, came to the conclusion that Koszta was entitled to the protection of this Government, and took energetic and prompt measures for his release. Under an arrangement between theagents of the United States and of Austria he was transferred to the custody of the French consul-general at Smyrna, there to remain until he should be disposed of by the mutual agreement of the consuls of the respective Governments at that place. Pursuant to that agreement ho has been released, and is now on his way to the United States. The Emperor of Austria has made the conduct of our officers who took part in this transaction a subject of grave complaint. Regarding Koszta as still his subject, and claiming a right to seize him within the limits of the Turkish empire, he has de manded of this Government its consent to the surrender of the prisoner, a disavowal of the acts of its agents, and satisfaction for the alleged outrage, After a careful and to use his efforts to induce the Brazilian. GO: vernment to open to common use, under proper safe guards, this great natural highway for international trade. Several of the South American States are deeply in terested in this attempt to secure the free navigation of the Amazon, and it is reasonable to expect their co operation in the measure. As the advantages of free commercial intercourse among nations are better under stood, more liberal views are generally entertained as to the common rights of all to the free use of those means which nature has provided for international communication. To these more liberal and en lightened views, it is hoped that Brazil will con form her policy, and remove all unnecessary restrictions upon the free use of a river which traverses so many states, and so large a part of the continent. lam happy to inform you that the Republic of Paraguay and the Argentine Confederation have yielded to the liberal policy still resisted by Brazil in regard to the navigable rivers within their respective territories. Treaties, em bracing this subject among others, will be submitted to the Senate at the 'present session. - A new branch of commerce, important to the agri• cultural interests of the United States, has, within a few years past, been opened with Peru. Notwithstand ing the inexhaustible deposits of guano upon the islands of that country, considerable difficulties are expe rienced in obtaining the requisite supply. Measures have been taken to remove these difficulties, and to secure a more abundant importation of the article. Unfortunately there has been a serious collision between our citizens who have resorted to the Chincha Islands for it, and the Peruvian authorities stationed there. Redress for the outrages committed by the latter was promptly demanded by our Minister at Lima. This subject is now under consideration, and there is reason to believe that Peru is disposed to offer adequate indem nity to the aggrieved parties. We are not thus only at peace with all foreign coun tries, but, in regard to political affairs, are exempt from any cause of serious disquietude in our domestic relations. The controversies, which have agitated the country heretofore, are passing away with the causes which pro duced them, and the passions which they had awakened ; or, if any traces of them remain, it may be reasonably hoped that it will only be perceived in the zealous rivalry of all good citizens to testify their respects for the rights of the States, their devotion to the Union, and their common determination that each one of the States, its institutions, its welfare, and its domestic peace shall be held alike secure under the sacred mgis of the Constitu tion. The new league of amity, and mutual confidence, and support into which the people of the republic have entered, happily aftbrds inducement and opportunity for the adoption of a more comprehensive and unembarrassed line of policy and action as to the great material interests of the country, whether regarded in themselves or in connexion with the Powers of the civilised world. The United States have continued gradually and steadily to expand through acquisition of territory which however much some of • them may have questioned, are now universally seen and admitted to have been wise in policy, just in character, and a great element in the advancement of our country, a n d with it, of the human race, in freedom, in prosperity, and in happiness. The 13 States have grown to be 31, with relations reaching to Europe on the one side, and on the other to the distant realms of Asia. lam deeply sensible of the immense responsibility e Nvh . h the present magnitude of th e R epu bli c, and the diversityl and multiplicity of its interests, devolves up alleviation of which, so f ar as re l ates to thrmme the conduct of the public b us i ness, i s, first, in my reliance the wisdom and pat r i o ti sm o f the twoßousesnlanedcejeoten of and, secondly, in the di rec ti ons affordedb ongress; me ples of public polity, affirmed by our fathers y the princi - of the epoch of 1789, sanctioned by long experience, and consecrated anew by the overwhelming voice of the people of the United States. Recurring to these principles, which constitute the or ganic basis of the Union, we ° perceive that , functions and the d u ti es of the federal vast as are the in or entrust e d t o it s three great government, vested d e p ar t m ents —the legis lative, executi ve , an d j udi cial—yet the substantive power, the popular force, and the large capacities for social and material development, exist in respective states, which all being of themselves well constituted republics, as they preceded so they alone are capable of maintaining and per petuating the American Union. The federal government has its appropriate line of action in the specific and limited powers conferred on it by the constitution, chiefly as to those things in which the states have a common interest in their relations to one another and to foreign govern ments, while the great mass of interests which belong to cultivated men, the ordinary business of life, the springs of industry, all the diversified personal and domestic af fairs of society, rest securely upon the general reserved powers of the people of the several states. There is the effective democracy of the nation, and there the vital es sence of its being and its greatness. Of the practical consequences which flow from the na ture of the federal government, the primary one is the duty of administering with integrity and fidelity the high trust reposed in it by the constitution, especially in the application of the public funds, as drawn by taxation from the people, and appropriated to specific objects by Con gress. Happily, I have no occas i on t o sugges t an y r adical changes in the financial poli c y o f th e govern ment. Ours m I almost, if not absolutely, the solitary power of Christendom having a surplus revenue, drawn immediately from impostso on commerce, and therefore measured by the spontaneoussuch enterprise and national prosperity of the country, indirect relation to agriculture, pro ducts of the earth and sea, as to violate no constitutionalinanufactives, and the eral welfare. doctrine, and yet vigorously promote the g Neither as to the sources of the public treasure, en nor as to g it, does any grave the manner of keeping n - g ln a general acquiescence controversy now prevail, a t n h d erTb mi ei in the wisdom of the present system. The report of the S e cretary of the Treasury will exhibit in detail the state of the public finances, and the condition of the various branches of the p ublic service administered by that department of the government. The revenue of the country, levied almost insensibly to the taxpayer, goes on from year to year increasing b eyond either the interests or the prospective wants of the govern ment. At the'close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1852, there remained in the Treasury a balance of $14,632,136. The public revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1853, amounted to $58,931,865 from customs, and to $2,405,708 from public lands and other miscellaneous sources, amount ing together to $61,337,574 while the public expenditure for the same period, exclusive of payments on azcount of the public debt, amounted to $43,554,162 ; leaving a balance of $32,425,447 of re ce ipt s above expenditure. This fact, of increasing surplus in the Treasury, became the subject of anxious consideration at a very early period of my administration, and the path of duty in regard to it seemed 'to me obvious and clear—namely, first, to apply the surplze mom to the discharge of the Public (1448 so .4 . 4 ' " 416jt ;1 7 '- ' • • ,-- - -r far as it could judiciously be done ;and, secondly, t o d ev i se ' , , means for the gradual reduction of th e revenue to the stun ' . 'VI: - dard of th e p u bli c ex i genc i es . s: - Of these objects, the first has been in the course of accom- ''. -, - -- pli '' shment, in a manner a nd t o a d egree highly satisfac- tory. The amount of the public debt, of all classes, was, on March 4, 1853, $69,190,037 ; payments on account of which have been made, since that period, to the amount of $12,703,329, leaving unpaid, and in the continuous course of liquidation, the sum Qf $56,486,708. These payments, although made at the market price of the respective classes of the stocks, have been effected readily, and to the general _ . , advantage of the T reasury, an d h ave a t th e same time , . proved of signal utility in the relief they have incidentally afforded to the money market, and to the industrial and commercial pursuits of the country. The amnia of the above-mentioned objects, that of the- reduction of the tariffjis of great importance, and the plan suggested by the Secretary, which is to reduce the duties on certain articles, and to add to the free list many articles now taxed, and especially such as enter into manufactures, and are not largely, or at all, produced in the country, is commended to your candid and careful consideration. You will find in the report of the Secretary of the Trea sury also abOndant proof of the entire adequacy of the pre sent fiscal system to meet all the requirements of the public service; and l that, while properly administered, it o p era t es to the advaletage of the community in ordinary business relations. I respectfully ask your attention to sundry suggestions of improvement in the settlement of accounts, especially as regards the large sums of outstanding arrears due to the government e - and of other reforms in the administrative action of hie department, which are indicated by the secre tary ; as also to the progress made in the construction of marine hospitals, custom-houses, and of a new mint in California and assay-office in the city of New York, here tofore provided for by Congress, and also the eminently successful profess of the coast survey, and of the light house board. Among the objects meriting your attention will be im portant recommendations from the Secretary of War and Navy. lam fully satisfied that the navy of the 'United States is not in a condition of strength and efficiency com mensurate with the magnitude of our commercial and other interests, and commend to your special attention the suggestions on the subject made by the Secretary of the Navy. I respectfully submit that the army, which, under our system, must always be regarded with the highest in terest, as a nucleus round which the volunteer forces of the nation gather in the hour of danger, requires augmentation or modification, to adapt it to the present extended limits and frontier relations of the country, and the condition of the Indian tribes in the interior of the continent ; the ne cessity of which will appear in the communications of the Secretaries of War and the Interior. In the administration of the Post-office Department for the fiscal year ending June 30,1853, the gross expenditure was $7,982,756 ; and the gross receipts during the same period $ 5 ,942,734; showing that the current revenue failed to meet the current expenses of the department by the sum of $2,420,032. The causes which under the present postal system and laws led inevitably to this result, are fully ex plained by the report of the Postmaster General ; one great cause being the enormous rates the department has been compelled to pay for mail service rendered by railroad companies. The exhibit in the report of the Postmaster-General of the income and expenditure by mail steamers will be found peculiarly interesting, and of a character to demand the immediate action of Congress. Numerous and flagrant frauds upon the pension bureau r, and in have been brought to light w ithi n t h e last yea some instances merited puni s h men t i n fli cted ; but unfor tunately, in others, guilty parties have escaped, not through the want of sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction, but in Consequence of the provisions of limitation in the existing laws. From the nature of these claims, the remoteness of the tribunals to pass upon them, and the mode in whi c h th e proof is, of necessity, furnished, temptations to crime have been greatly stimulated by the obvious difficulties of de tection. The defects in the law upon this subject are so apparent and so fatal to the ends of justice, that your early action relating to it is most desirable. Daring the last fiscal year, 9,819,411 acres of the public land have been surveyed, and 10,363,891 acres brought into the market. Within the same period, the sales by public purchase and private amounted to 1,083,495 acres ; located under military bounty land warrants, 6,142,360 acres ; located under other certificates, 9,427 acres ; ceded to the states as swamp lands, 16,684,253 acres ; selected for railroad and other objects, under acts of Congress, 1,427,457 acres. Total amount of land disposed of within the fiscal year, 25,346,992 acres ; which is an increase in quantity sold and located under land warrants and grants of 12,231,818 acres over the fiscal year immediately pre ceding. The quantity of land sold during the second and third quarters of the year 1852 was 334,451 acres. The amount received, therefore, was $623,687. The quantity sold the second and third quarters of the v - ear 1853 was 1,609,919 acres; and the ameunt received, therefore, $2,226,876. The whole number of land warrants issued under exist ing laws prior to the 30th of September last was 266,012, of which there were outstanding at that date 66,947. The quantity of land required to satisfy these outstanding war rants is 4,778,120 acres. Warrants have been issued to 30th of September last, under the act of Ilth February, 1847, calling for 12,879,280 acres : under acts of September 28, 1850, and March 22, 1852, calling for 12,505,360 acres; making a total o f 25,384,640 acres. It is believed that experience has verified the wisdom and justice of the present system, with regard to the public domain, in most essential particulars. Yon will perceive, from the report of the Secretary of the Interior, that opinions, which have often been ex pressed in relation to the operation of the land system, as not being a source of revenue to the federal treasury, were erroneous. The net profits from the sale of the public lands to June 30,1853, amounted to the sum of $53,289,465. I recommend the extension of the land system over the territories of Utah and New Mexico, with such modifica tions as their peculiarities may require. Regarding our public domain as chiefly valuable to pro vide homes for the industrious and• enterprising, I am not repared to recommend any essential change in the land - system, except by modifications in favour of the actual settler, and an extension of th e p re - emp ti on pr i nciple in certain cases, for reasons, and on grounds, which will be fully developed in the re p or t s t o b e laid before you. Congress, representing the proprietors of the territorial domain, and charged especially with power to dispose of ...p territory belonging to the United States, has, for a long course of years, beginning with the administration of Mr. Jefferson, exercised the power to construct roads within the territories ; and there are so many and obvious dis tinctions between this exercise of power and that of making roads within the states, that the former has never been considered subject to such objections as apply to the latter, and such may now be considered the settled con struction of the power of the federal government upon the subject. -1 1 Numerous applications have been, and no doubt will continue to be, made for g rants of land, in aid of the con struction of railways. It is not believed to be within the intent and meaning of the constitution, that the power to dispose of the public domain should be used otherwise than might be expected from a prudent proprietor, and, therefore, that grants o f l an d t o a id i n the construction of roads should be restricted to cases where it would be for the interest of a proprietor, un d er like circumstances, thus to contribute to the construction of these works. For the practical operation o f suc h grants thus worksar in ad vancing the interests of th e s t a t es in which the f located, and at the same time the substantial interests of all the other states, by enhancing the value and promoting the rapid sale of the public do report of the Secretary of the Interior.Daain, I refer you to the nation, however will show that this e A xpe c rie f n ul ce ex is aut the result of a just, discrimination, and will be far from affording encouragement to a reckless or indiscriminate extension of the principl I commend t o your favOurable consideration the men of genius of our country who, by th • inventions and dis coveries in sci ence and art, have contributed r largely to the improvements of the age, without, in many instances, securing for th emselves anything like an adequate reward. For many interesting details upon this subject I refer you to the appropriate reports, and especially urge upon your early attention the apparently slight, but really important modifications of existing laws therein suggested. The liberal spirit which has so long marked the action of Congress in relation to the district of Columbia will, I have no doubt, continue to be manifested. The erection of an asylum for the insane of the district of Columbia, and of the army and navy of the United States ' has been somewhat retarded by the great demand for materials and labour during the past summer ; but full preparation for the reception of patients before the return of another winter is anticipated; and there is the best reason to believe, from the plan and contemplated arrange ments which have been devised, with the large experience furnished within the last few years in relation to the nature and treatment of the disease, that it will prove an asylum indeed to the most helpless and afflicted class of sufferers, and stand as a noble monument of wisdom and mercy. Under the acts of Congress of August 31, 1852, and of March 3, 1853, designed to secure for the cities of Wash ington and Georgetown an abundant supply of good and wholesome water, it became my duty to examine the re port and plan of the engineer who had charge of the sur veys under the act first named. The best, if not the only plan calculated to secure permanently the object sought, was that which contemplates taking the water from the Great Falls of the Potomac, and consequently I give it my approval. For the progress and present condition of this important are ant work, and for its demands so far as appropriations concerned, I refer you to the repor t of the Secretary of War. The present judicial system of the United States has now been in operation for so long a period of time, and has in its general theory and much of its details become s o s familiar to the country, and acquired so entirely the p u bli c confidence, th a t if modified in any . respect it should only be in those par ti cu l a rs which may adapt it to the increased ex tent, population, and legal business of the:United States. In this relation, the organisation of thepe corfurtormsedis la v b °\v them con fessedly i na d eq uate to the duties t o b e in consequence of which, the States of Florida, _isoonsin, l o wa, Texas, and California, and di s t r i cts Of other states aro in effect excluded from th e f u ll b enefits of the general system , by the functions of their circuit court being de volved on the district judges in 41 those states, or parts of states. The spirit of the constitution and a due regard to justice require that all the states of the Union should be placed on the name footing in regard to the judicial tri bunals. I therefore commend to your consideration this important subject, which, in my judgment, demands the speedy action of Congress. I will present to you, if deemed desirable, a plan which I am prepared to recommend, for the enlargement and modification of the present judicial system. The act of Congress establishing a Smithsonian Institu tion, provided that the President of the United States and other persons therein designated should constitute an " establishment" by that name, and that the members should hold stated special meetings for the supervision of the affairs of the institution. The organisation not having taken place, it seemed to me proper that it should be effected without delay. This has been done ; and an occa sion was thereby presented for inspecting the condition of the institution, and appreciating its successful progress thus far, and its high promise of great and general useful ness. I have omitted to ask your favourable consideration for the estimates of works of a local character in 27 of the 31 states, amounting to $1,754,500, because, independently of the grounds which have so often been urged against the application of the federal revenue for works of this cha racter, inequality, with conseq uen t i n j ustice, is inherent with the nature of the proposition, and because the plan has proved entirely inadequate to the accomplishment of the objects sought. The subject of internal improvements, claiming alike the interest and goodwill of all, has, nevertheless, been the subject of much political discussion, and has stood as a deep graven line of division between statesmen of great ability and patriotism. the rule of strict construction of AU _ SECOND EDITION.—WITII ADDITIONS.
