Of these objects, the first has been in the course of accom plishment, in a manner and to a degree 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 of $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 Treasury, and have at the same time proved of signal utility in the relief they have incidentally afforded to the m one y mar k e t , an d t o th e industrial and- - commercial' pursuits of th e coun t r y. _ The second of the above-mentioned objects, that of the reduction of the tariff,lis 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 abundant proof of the entire adequacy of the pre sent fiscal system to meet all the requirements of the public service, and that, while properly administered, it operates to the advantage of the community in ordinary business relations. ECEMBER to, 1853. [PRICE SD. consideration of the case, I came to the conclusion that Koszta was seized without legal authority at Smyrna : that he was wrongfully detained on board of the Aus trian brig of war ; that at the time of his seizure he was clothed with the nationality of the United States ; and that the acts of our officers, under the circumstances of the case, were justifiable, and their conduct has been fully approved by me, and a compliance with the several I demands of the Emperor of Austria has been declined. 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 Go vernments upon this Continent , to aid them in preser v i ng a good understancang among themselves. With M ex i co , a di spute has arisen as to the true boundary line between our territory of N ew 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 Guadalonpe Hidalgo, made a serious mistake in determining the initial point on the._Rin Grande ; but, inasmuch ashis decision was clearly a departure fronilhe directions for tracing the boundary contained in that treaty, and was 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 i s no t concluded thereby ; but that oiMexico takes a different view of the subject. There are alsci' other questions of considerable magni tude pending hetkeen the two republics. Our Minister in Mexico has ample . instructions to adjust them. Ne gotiations have tee); opened but su ffi cient progress has not been made th ere i n 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 eXtect that an arrangement, mutually satis factory to bolt 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. 1 , 0 the CHARITABLE.—Members of Societies and othe.s, now preparing their customary gifts to the Poor at this inclement season, are advised that F LANNE LS, 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.

I respectfully ask your attention to sundry suggestions of improvement in the settlement of accounts, especiall,y as regards the large sums of outstanding arrears due to the government, and of other reforms in the administrative action of his 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 progress of the coast survey, and of the light house board. 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. comber. The following is a copy of the document 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 t o y our spec i a l a tt en ti on th e 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 Wasth fi s s 7 c , a 9 l B y 2 e , a 7 r s6 en ; 'Tune 30, ross lBs3the gross exp en dit ure receipts during the same , showing period $5,942,731 • • that the current revenue failed ending g d the gross to meet the current expenses of the department by the sum of $2,420,032 . Th e 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 mall steamers will be found peculiarly interesting, and o f a character to d eman d th e immediate acti on of Congress. Numerous and flagrant frauds upon the pension bureau have been brought to light within the last year, and in me a t i e n s c p t e e d d ; n t t h u r n o fuogrh tu some na instances ot tunately, e lyothers,in merited guilty unppartishies h the want of suffi c i en t ev id ence to warrant ; conviction, but in consequence of th e prov i sions of limitationin the existing laws. From the nature of these claims, the remoteness of the tribunals to pass upon them, and the mode in which the 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 s wamp l an d s, 1 6,684,253 acres ; ;elected 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 year 1853 was 1,609,919 acres; and the amount received, therefore, $2,226,876. The whole number of land warrants issued under exist ing laws prior to the 30th of September last was 266,042, 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 11th 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 of 25,384,640 acres. Considering the vast regions of this continent, and the number of states which would 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, 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.

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, whi c h h ave o f ten b een 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 lauds 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, lam not prepared to recommend any essential change in the land system, except by modifications in favour of the actual settler, and an extension o f th e p re - emp ti on pr i nc i p l e in certain cases, for reasons, and on grounds, which will be fully developed in th e 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 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 r oa d s w ithi n 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. Numerous applications have been, and no doubt will continue to be, made for grants 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 gr a nt s o f l an d t o a id i n th e construction of roads should be restricted to cases where it would be for the interest of a proprietor, under like circumstances, thus to contribute to the construction of these works. For the practical operation of such grants thus far in ad vancing the interests of the states in which the works are 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 domain, I refer you to the report of the Secretary of the Interior. A. careful exami nation, however, will s h ow that this ex perience ._ is the result of a just discrimination, and will be. far from affording encouragement to a reckless or indiscriminate extension eem m commend to your I p y r O l u n r c ifpa lveo'ur able ta c i onsideration the men of dis coveries in science and art, have contri bute d eir genius of our country who, b y inventions largely an to d th e securing for themselves ge, improvements of the age, without, in many instances, For many interesting de tails any th ing like an . adequate reward. to the appropriate The liberal .Istalaw reports, and especially upon this subject I refer you urge upon your early attention the ap pa rently modifications of ex' thereinelight' but really the act ion of which has so long marked 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 groat 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 experienc e furnished within the last few years in relation to the it nature and treatment of the d is e ase, that 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 • %as 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 un der the act first named. The best, if not the only plan calcula ted 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 work, and for its demands so far as appropriations are concerned, I refer you to the report 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 so familiar to the country, and acquired so entirely the public confidence, that if modified in any respect it should only be in those particulars which may adapt it to the increased extent, population, and legal business of the United States. In this relation, the organisation of the courts is now con fessedly inadequate to the duties to be performed by them ; in consequence of which, the States of Florida, Wisconsin, lowa, Texas, and California, and districts of other states, are in effect excluded from the full benefits of the general sys t em , by the functions of their circuit court being de volved on the district judges in all those st a t e -s, or parts of states. ightened 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. I am happy to inform you that the Bepublie 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 new league of amity, and mutual confidence, and support into which the people of the republic have entered, happily affords 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, and 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. I am deeply sensible of the immense responsibility which the present magnitude of the Republic, and the di vers it y and multiplicity of its interests, devolves upon me ;_ the alleviation of whi c h, so f ar as relates to the immediate conduct of the public business, is, first, in my reliance on the wisdom and patriotism of the two Houses of Congress and, secondly, in the directions afforded me by the princi ples of public polity, affirmed by our fathers of the epoch of 1789, sanctioned by long experience, and consecrated anew by the overwhelming voice of the people of the United states. The premium of 181. commencing at 23 years of age, a n d pa i d upon an ordinary Policy (As TT MUST se) every year till A.B. is 46 years old, will secure the same sum, viz., 1,0000., but if A B lives 17 years longer (which is the probable duration of life at the lime he effected the insurance) his Deposit Policy, for the same payments as for an ordinary Policy of 1,0001., will have increased to 1,5251. 6s.

MAT 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 Unfruitfhl 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, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its concequene es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or flinctional derangement to which the timely aid of sc ience cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT 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. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of It., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address, It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT hould first obtain a copy of his work on SELFPRESERVATION A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

The tribeof 'Quiet Byrnpa hiscrs,'and Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed; and if this book could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize— much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the empirical system of treating Bpermatorrhcea, and to place the treat ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852. London; 11. Baliere, 219, Regentitreet. TRUSTEES.

While the different branches of the Government are, to a certain extent, independent of each other, 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, er to be exempt from the re sponsibility, which allmfficial functions 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 devastating 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 som years past Great Britai n h as so construed the first arficle 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 th e U n it e d St a t es an d 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 fore in that quarter during the fishing season. Embarrassing questions have also ar i sen b e t ween th e 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 February la,st 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, 184 G, 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. Independently of 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 repre-s it. Several annoy ing occurrences have taken place at Havannah, 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 Havannah and the Captain-General of Cuba, ready explanations cannot be made, or prompt redress afforded, where injury has resulted. All complaint on the part of 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 provide for a direct appeal for redress to 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 upon the 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 onr 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. ment. 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 , on c . ame to this it tom Martin} Koszta,early an d a favourable n c o n h s y i d h e i r r a t t h i 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. While at Smyrna ho was f orc ibl y 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 place.nd Koszta was entitled to th e protect i on of this G o vernment, t mutual been role s took energ e ti c and prompt measures f o r his se release.

After a careful . Recurring to these principles, which constitute the or ganic basis of the Union, we perceive that, vast as are the functions and the duties of the federal government, vested in or entrusted to its three great departments —the legis lative, executive, and judicial—yet the substantive power, the popular force, and the large capacities for social and material development, exist in the respective states, w hich all being of themselves well constituted republics, as they preceded so they alone are capable of maintaining and per petuatingent the American Union. The federal government d e ffited has its appropriate line of action in the specific an fly as to powers conferred on it by the constitution, those things in which the states have a common ell in their relations to one another and to foreigninterest govern ments, while the °Teat mass of interests wh i ch „ lif e, the springs cultivated men, the ordina wh: , ch belong to of industry, all the diversified the general reserved af fairs of society, rest securely P°n btpiselrnseonal and domestic There is the powers of the people of the and there the vital ,;,,,, effective democracy of the naf7,,. seuverai states. es sence of its being and its grs 3 bu' — ' Of the practical cons e 9 the primary one is the equences which flow from the na ture of the fede ral g - t h integrity and fidelity the high duty of administering with trust reposed in it by th e constitution, especially in the lic funds, as drawn by taxation from application of the P A -Ub ropriated to specific objects bLdienl the Nee°, an d ny Ours is laEla've no occasion to suggest a gross.

Neither as managing it, does any grave manner of keeping and era' acquiescence the now prevail, there being a general controversy in the wisdom of thepresent system. The report of tho Secretary of the Treasury will exhibit in detail the state of the public finances, and the condition of the various branches of the public service administered by that department of the government. levied The revenue of the country, almost insensibly to ' the taxpayer, goes on from year i to yearncreasing beyond 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 endi ng J une 30, 1853, amounted to $58,931,865 from custom s , an d t o $2,405,708 from public lands and other miscellaneous sources, amount ing together to $61,337,571 while the public expenditure for the same period, exclusive of payments on account of the public debt, amounted to $43,554,162 ; leaving a balance of $32,425,447 of receipts 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 gurplu mom to the diAchino 9f the public debt, " W — Tl 2 e spirit of the constitution and a due regard to justice require that all the st a t es of the Union sh ou ld b e placed on the same footing in regard to the judicial tri bunals. I therefore commend to your consideration this important subject, which, in my judgment, demands the will present to you, if deemed speedy action of Congress. I desirable, a -plan which I am prepared to recommend, for the enlargement and modification of the present judicial system.
