dent Of the u. S.:
20 the Senate and House Of Representations ef@e u. S..
Recent experience on the Southern boundary of the
u. s., and The events NOW daily occurring on our North.
ern frontier, have abundantly shown that the existing
laws are insufficient to guard againot hostile invasion
from the U. 5. of the territory Of friendly cad ~neighbor.
ing nations.
The laws in force provide sufficient penalties for the
punishment of such offences, after they have been CON-
suA,ed, and provided the parties can be found but the
Executive is p~owerless in many cases e prevent the com.
mission Of them, even when in possession of ample evil
dencs Of an intentioR on the part ct evil-disposed per-
sons 70 violate oor laws.
Your attention is called to this defect in our Legisla.
tioa. Il u appssent, that the Executive ought 10 be
clothed with adequate power edectuslly to restrain all per-
sons within ons jurisdiction from the commission Of acts
Of this character. Theytead to disturb the peace Of the
country, and inevitably involve the Government in per.
picking controversies With foreign Powers. l recon-.
mend ! careful revision Of all tie laws now in force, and
