PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
SPEECH OF HON. JACOB CoLLAMET

OF VERMONT.
DeLrered in the United States Senate, Dee. o. 1866
The Senate having under consideration the
following order, submitted by Mr.. Fitzpatrick
on the I'd instant;
Ordered That the message and accompanying docn-
ments be printed, and that fifteen thousand additional
copies be printed for the Of the Senate.
Mr.. CoLLAMER said Mr. President in en-
toring upon my duties as a member of this
body, | entertained the notion that legitimate
discussion should be confined to questions
especially questions Of importance - which
were pending before the Senate. But sir,
was early disappointed in this view. ! soon
ascertaned that Senator's with large measure
of age and experience and learning, consider
ed that there were other, and perhaps more
important duties. than those lying within the
scope of legitimate discussion; and particu-
larly one was TO prepare the public mind. My
own opinion was, that the public mind should
prepare itself, and should not receive its di-
rection from the debates and action of either
the Senate or House of Representatives IN
Congress assembled. Those bodies should
rather be the echo than the formation of pub
lie sentiment. II seemed TO me that it was
transforming this body from deiberatve as
sembly to an arena of political party debate.
But my views, it appears, are mistaken en-
tirely. Experience has shown the fact to be
entirely different. That experience has been
sustained by the example Of men of the first
position in the country, and it is now too late
to question its proprioty. Therefore, oven as
to subjects that are legitimately before us, and
are proper topics of debate, discussion takes
a very latitudinous range. Much the largest
part of what is said here is not said for the
purpose of producing an impression on the
body who are supposed to be its auditors but
it is said, as the vulgar and common ex-
preston is, for Buncombe. ! suppose it is
now too late for this ever to be corrected. 1t
must go on. lnasmuch as it does go ON, all
men of all parties must, more or less, partici-
pate in it. 1t is idle for man to undertake
to elevate himself to position of affected
dignity, from which he will not oondescend to
mingle in these topics. His constituents have
been taught to expect other things of him
and they have been taught by men of such
high position that their expectations cannot
be disappointed by their representative.
| make these remarks, sir, because some
gentlemen have suggested that there is really
no important question before us. ! think
there is not but there is subject before us
that / consider of deep importance and in
asmuch as discussion has been commenced
upon it, presume it must go on.
This message of the President of the Uni
ted States, especially all that part of IL which
relates 10 the subject we have been talking

Walkers Expedition Failed.

For few weeks past we have had o..
casion to observe numerous failures, but
none with more unminged satisfaction
than that Of the Nicaragua expedition,
under Gov. Walker. The Northers Light
which arrived in New York on Sunday
night, brings the important intelligence of
the capture of Gov. Walker and the break.
ing up of the whole expedition. We men
toned some weeks since the successful
landing OF Gov, Walker with his troops
q; Punta Arenas, where be established the
Head Quarters Of the army of Nicaragua,
His operations were quito successful, hav.
ing captured Fort Castillo and four steam.
ers and considerable quantity of arms,
ammunition and provisions, His operations
we're prospcred until the appearance
OF Commodore Paulding, who took a com,
manding position and sent an order for
his surrender which was complied with
without resistance. The prisoners. except
Gen. Walker and his secretary, were sent
on board the Saratoga. They numbered
one hundred, and fifty one officer, and
men, The officers seemed much cast down
to find their plans all defeated in the full
tide Of success, but many of the priyat.s
we're perfectly satisfied.
Gen. Walker was permit ted to 20 free
on giving his word of honor that he would
repair Immediately to n, Y, and put him.
self i'll the custody of the U 8. Marshal.
He arrived in the No, thern Light and
will probably be put on trial for violation
of the neutrality laws, The proceedings
of Com Paulding are supposed to bs sane
toned by the President, and it is to hoped
the laws will be indicated, though we con.
fess there is little chance of his conviction
or punishment.

Revenues and Expenditures

In December 1890, Gen Washington
congratulated Congress on the financial
prosperity of the country, as shown by
the fact that the duties on imports for the
preceding year amounted to sl,90O,0OO
In December 1857, the President informs
us that the duties on imports for the year
ending June 80, 1857, were s6s, C8l ,513.
The history Of the world furnishe. no
similar instance of prosperity, Other
nations have raised annually, a larger
revenue, but it has been by oppressive
taxation.
This prosperity has its dangers, 1t en-.
courages prodigality in the national ex.
penditures, fosters corruption in politi.
cal circles, and promotes the spirit Of
speculation in business and of extrava.
gunce in living. The Capital extension
will cost over FIVE millions of dollars, one
million of which is to be expended on the
dome. An appropriation Of one million
is asked for the continuation Of the work
on the acqueduct. Another Of thirty.
three thousand dollars lie asked for light
ing the Presidents house, the Capitol and
the Public Grounds with gas.
The amount of printing for one Con-
gress, is 100000, nearly one third Of
which is said to be proft. The patronage
-" the ,p0ils which political party
has at its disposal, is immense. 1t is nc
wonder that corruption, which if it exis.
ted at all, in the purer days of our Re.
public, was secret and shame.faced, il
DOW open and defiant.
