dent % .hosc Of New Hampshire, and that
they lsGst be sustained At all hazards, and
against all opposition, open or covert, direct
or sinister.
The reduction Of duties on certain arli
cles is urged, and the removal o: duty alto
geth5r, in some Gases, by the addition Of
new articles TO the fo, list, 80 as to make u
reduction Of fincoG millions on The receipts
Of the past year.
A very large increase in the extent and
efficiency Of our navy is recommended, as
is al>o notification in the strength and or
ganization of the army.
An extension of the public land system
will be suggested as rendered quite ncccssa.
~ by the circumstances Of change aud
progress which are operating throughout
! the Republic. Some notifications Of it
for application in Utah and New Mexico
will lie pointed out as requisite. Some
modification Of the laws so as 10 favor actual
settlers, will also be recommended, together
with an extension of the pre-emption prin-
ciple. 10
Important amendments 10 the Patent
Laws will be mentioned as among the chief
subjects 10 which the attention OF Congress
viii have 10 be addressed.
The judicial system is shown TO need
very important changes, and it is suggested
that probably reduction of the number Of
the judges in the Supreme Court as vacan.
cics occur, so as TO limit it 10 FIVE members
only, who should be entirely relieved from
attention to circuit duties, would be Judi
cious step. And it is proposed, that, should
this step be taken, circuit judges should be
appointed independent of the Sdpreme
Judges.
No appropriations for-intcrnal improve
ments are recommended, Reasons for
Withholding them are assigned al length.
These are based upon the injustice, the IT.
regularity, the iR& iicicncy, and total made
quacy of the present system on which they
are generally conducted. They are shown
to be utterly inadequate to meet the de.
mands of commerce, or afford the necessary
protection to human life and property, This
question is argued closely and infinitely,
and it is suggested that Congress should
empower the several States 10 levy tonnage
duties for the purpose Of raising funds for
the works they may deem il, pecessary to
commence. II is distinctly RECOMMENDED
that all appropriations by tho General Gov
ernment, for the purpose of building the Pa.
cifc Rail Road be discountenanccd, and OBJ
jeclions are suggested 10 appropriations of
alternate sections Of land, except under cir
cumstances sufficient TO induce a jndicious
individual proprietor 10 make similar dis
position Of the lands.
The power of Congress, under certain
circumstances, to construct military roads
for the purposes Of common defence, is fully
admitted, but il is uncquivocally stated
that The President is clearly convinced that
the common defence of the country does
not demand the undertaking Of any such
work by Congress, as the construction Of a
railroad 10 the Pacific.
The declarations Of the message on for
eign policy, particularly in reference 10 the
extension Of the territory aud principles of
the Republic, are boldly progressive and
the 4" Young America views and Monroe
doctrines are clearly and firmly proclaimed
as those which the Administration will reso-
luirly assert and foster
