MESSAGE.
Fellow citizens Of the Senate,
and House of RepresentGiires:

We have reason to renew the expression of
our devout gratitude to the CIV II OF ALL Coop for
his benign protection Our country presents ON
every side the evidences ofthat continued favor
under whose auspices it has gradually risen from
few feeble and dependent Colonies to pros.
porous u powerful Contederacy. We are blessed
with domestic tranquility, and all the elements Of
national prosperity. The pestilence which inva
ding, for time some hourishng portions Of the
Union, interrupted the general prevalence of un.
natural health, has happily been limited in extent
and arrested in its fatal career. The industry
and produce of our citizens are gradually reliev-
ing them from the pecuniary embarrassment I'M
der which portions of them have laboured Judi.
cious legislation, and the natural and boundess
resources OF the country, have offered wise and
timely aid to the pirate enterprise and the ac-
tlvity always characteristic Of our people has al
ready, in great degree, resumed its usual and
profitable channel.
The condition of our foreign relations has not
materially changed since the last annual mes
sage Of my predecessor. We remain at peace
with all nations and no efforts on my part, con.
sstentcnt with the preservation of our rights and
the honor of the Country, shall be spared 10 main
tain position so consonant to our institutions.
We have faithfully sustained the foreign policy
with which the United States, under the quiz
ance of their first President took their stand
in the family of nations-that of regula.
ting their intercourse with other powers by the
approved principles ofpr ate life asking and
according equal rights and equal privileges, len
dering and demanding justice in all cases; adj
vancing their own, and discussing the precn-
sions OF others, with candor, drsctness, and SIN
cerity; appealing at all times to reason, but new
or yielding to hrce, or seeking to acquire any
thing Cor themsoh IS by its exercise.
A rigid adherence to this policy has left this
Government with scarce a claim upon It's jus.

JoHN FoRsYTH, Secretary Of State.

Information is hereby given that, during the con.
tinuance Of the present unfortunate suspension Of
specie pay ments by many Of the banks, the Treasury
Department will continue to issue warrants, Tor the
payment of which drafts or checks will be given by
the Treasurer banks officers in the nelghbor-
hood where the creditor resides the debt was in
cured. The checks will, according to former prac-
tlce, be issued separately from the warrants, and in
such anounis as may he convenient.
The treasurer will draw these checks only on such
banks or officers have heretofore received ample
funds 10 meet them and it is therefore hoped that
they will be promptly paid in manner satisfactory TO
the hoders; but if they shall not be paid when pre-.
sened the collectors of customs and the receivers OF
the publ lands, will bo instructed to redeem them IN
behalf OF the Treasury, by receiving them for duties
and lands.
lfthey not paid in either Of these modes aud
notice OF the fact is communicated to the Department
no reasonable efforts will be spared TO preserve the
public faith nviolae, and to them to be other
wise discharged as soon possible IN specie or its
equivalent, as the existing laws require and il
turned TO the Department and remaining uupad
I'LL tho next session Of Congress, II will feel bound
earnestly TO request authority for early means to sat
iSfy them in manner acceptable to the holders
Circulars to the proper officers, containing partic
'lar instructions this subject will be prepared and
publish in few days.

Treasury Department Nay l2th 1887.
To the Collectors Ct Customs the

+" BY my word :" added the lady Jemi-

by my word J" added the lady Jemi-
ma, but here is a new lover !"
BY mine honour" responded the lady
Bridget but he is an old one J"
By my word and honour too," contii-
ued the lady something else, :" suspected
it Iong ago."
And by my grey head" concluded the
old lord, 81 wish ! had done SO too -
Look you, Sir Lubin, Sibyl is my only child
and must be made happy her own way.
! really thought she had been pining and
dying for you, but since it appears ] was
mistaken, why cen let us make the best of
ii. You can be brides man still, though
you cannot be bridegroom, and who knows
bat in our rcvels tonight, you may find n
lady less liable to change her mind 7"
Sir Lubin did not understand this mode
of proceeding, and would have come to high
Childe Wilful's eye, which kept them hub
bling in his throat. He could by no means
decide upon what to say. He gave two or
three pretty considerable hens, but he
cleared the road in vain, for nothing was
coming; and so, at last, he made up his
mind TO treat the matter with silent con-
tempt. He bowed to the company with a
naughty dive, kicked his long sword, as he
turned, between his legs, and strobe, OF
rather rode, out of the church as fast as his
dignity would permit. The crowd on the
outside, not being aware of what had pas
sed within, and taking it for granted that il
was all right that the bridegroom on such
great occasions should go home alone
wished him joy very heartily and clamor-
onsly, and the six horses went off st n long
trot, which was quite grand.
Sibyl and her cavalier looked breathless-
ly for what was to come next.
"The wedding feast must not be lost,
said the old lord will nobody be mar
riedl"
Sibyl was sganed placed at the altar
and in the room of Sir Lubin, was handed
the Cavalier WilfuI.
4" Will thou take this man for thy welded
husband 7" demanded the priest.
Sibyl blushed, and still trcmbled, but her
Paintings did not return and If her voice
was low when she spoke the words :" will, "
it was distinct and musical as the clearest
note of the nightingale.

President, in another column, that an ex-
ira session of the 25,b Congress is called on

yides, that "if, at any time, any one oI
said banks shall fail to perform any of said
duties, as prescribed by this act, and stipu-
lated to be performed by its contract or
if any of said banks shall at any time, re-
fuse 10 pay its oUn notes in specie if deman-
ded," &c. it shall be the duty Of the Sec
retary Of the Treasury to discontinue any

The funds Of the Post Office Department

Specie Cireuidr.-Respecting the right
and duty of government to protect the pub
lie revenue, we give an authority which the
opponents Of the administration will not
question, (suys the New York Post.) We
shall not offer any preliminary observations,
but leave the matter tor the reflection Of
those who clamor so loudly sga:ns, the spe-
Gle circular.
Mr.. Webster in 1916, in a speech, con-
tended that
"This government has q right, in all
cases, to protect its own reven ues, and to
guard them against defalcation by bad or
deprecated paper"
Again, he says: the only power which
the general government possesses Of re-
straining the issues Of the state banks, is to
refuse their notes in the receipts oil the
treasury"
The duty Of government 10 thus pointed
out ia another part Of the same speech
at is easy for portion Of the people to
imagine that the Government may properly
continue to receive deprecated paper, be-
cause they have received it, and because il
is more convenient to obtain it lIan to OBJ
tain other paper, or specie. But on these
subjects it is that Government ought to ex-
ercise its own peculiar wisdom aud caution.
IL is bound to forsec the evil before every
man feels il, ard to take al necessary meas
