DR. 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 ecjreely 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.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It is desirahle that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MEET
hould first obtain a copy of his work on
SELF •PRE SERVATION
A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and
Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des-

[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
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 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
dineictiisailonpowinats oclneatrhlye
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 is not
concluded thereby ; but that of 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,

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 upon 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, 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, 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 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 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.
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 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 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 her
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

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, 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.

Recurring to these principles, which constitute the or-
ganic basis of the Union, we °
perceive that,functions and the duties of the federal
vast as are the
in or entrusted to its three
great government, vested
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 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 occasion to suggest any radical
changes in the financial policy of the government. Ours m

The report of the 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.
The revenue of the country, levied almost insensibly to
the taxpayer, goes on from year to year increasing 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 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 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 surplze mom to the discharge of the Public (1448 so

far as it could judiciously be done ;and, secondly, to devise' , ,

shment, 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 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 Treasury, and have at the 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 operates
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
governmente -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

yea
some instances merited punishment inflicted ; 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 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 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 of
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 the pre-emption principle
in certain cases, for reasons, and on grounds, which will
be fully developed in the reports to be 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.

-11

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 grants of land to aid in the 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

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
areant
work, and for its demands so far as appropriations
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
s
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.

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 consequent injustice, is inherent
with the nature of the proposition, and because the plan
has proved entirely inadequate to the accomplishment of
the objects sought.
