Unless persons every way trustworthy

ton Of Congress 10 such measures Is in
my judgment win be best calculated TO
regulate and control the Executive pow

subject.
fshail also, at the proper season, in
yite your attention 10 the statutory enact
ments for the suppression Of the slave
trade, which may require TO be rendered
more efficient in their provisions. There
is reason TO believe that the traffic is on
the increase. Whether such increase is
10 be ascribed to the abolition Of slave la
Dor in the British possessions in our vici-
nifty, and an attendant diminution in the
supply Of those articles which enter in
to the general consumption Of the word,
thereby angmenting the demand from 9th
er quarters, and thus calling for additional
labor, il were needless TO inquire. The
highest considerations Of public honoa, as
well as the strongest promptings Of hu-
mainly, require resort 70 the most vigor-
Gus efforts 10 suppress the trade.
In conclusion, beg to invite your par
ticular attention to the interests Of this
District Nor do I doubt that, in libe-
raj spirit Of Legislation, YOU win seek 10
advance Its commercial as well as its To-
cal interests. Should Congress deem it
to be its duty to repeal the existing sub
Treasury law, the necessity Of providing
a suitable place of deposite for the pub
lie moneys which may be required with
in the District must be apparent to all.

to present the foregoing topics TO your
consideration and reflection. Others, with
which itmight not seem proper to irou-,
Bile you at an extraordinary session. viii
be laid before you al a future day. I ana
happy in committing the importantaffairs
of the country. into your hands. The
tendency Of public sentiment am pleas
ed to believe, is towards the adoption, in
a spirit Of union and harmony, of such
measures as win fortify the public inter
ests. To cherish such a tendency Of
public opinion is the task Of an elevated
patriotism. That differences Of opinion
as TO the means Of accomplishing these
desirable objects should exist, is reason
ably to be expected. Nor can all be made
satisfied with any system Of measures
But | fatter myself with the hope that
the great body OF the people viii readily
unite in support Of those whose efforts
spring from disinterested desire to pro-
mote their happiness; to preserve the Fe-
deral and State Governments within
their respective orbits; to cultivate peace
with all the nations Of the earth, Oh Just
and honorable grounds; to exact obedi-
ence TO the laws; to entrench liberty and
