shamcially departed from the principles of its
fathers.
An Executive Message was received, withdraw

the Senate adjourned.
Notwithstanding the iudiscriminatc retrench-
ment of the expenditures for the Navy aud Army
in the House, you must allow me TO iners You
that the Senate will, in the exercise OF wise
economy restore the estimates nearly To ,hcr orisi-
nal amount, and | sorry to say that the Secre-
tary of the Navy will have occasion to regret hi-
prccipitancy in d.charging the workmen at the
several Navy Depots. Bid our own fellow citizens
At Brooklyn and Philadelphia be of good cheer,
for they will shortly be recalled to their labors.
Yours, &c CURrIUs.
