destitute of representatives. the consequent
ccs might be disastrous. /, therefore, re-
commend to Congress to carry into effect the
provisions of the constitution on this sub
jec:, and to pass a law appointing some day
previous to the 4th of March in each year Of
odd number, for the election of representa-
tiyes throughout all the States. They have
already appointed a day for the election of
electors for President and Vice President,
and this measure has been approved by the

I would again express most decided
opinion in favor Of the construction Of Pr.
citic railroad, for the reasons stated in my
Two last annua: Messages. When I reflect
upon what would be the defenceles condition
OF our States and Territories west Of the
Rocky Mountains in case of war with q
naval power sufficiently strong to interrupt
all intercourse with them BY tho. routes
across the 1sthmus, a,n. still moro con-
WINGED than ever Of the vast Importance Of
this railroad. / have never doubted the
constitutional competency! Of Congress to
provide for its construction; but this exclu-
sively under the war making power. Be-
sides, the constitution expressly requires,
as an imperative duty, that the United
States shall protect each Of them (the States)
against INVASION / an at a loss to con.
|ceive how. this protection can be afforded to
California and Oregon; against such q naval
power by any other means. " repeat the
opinion contained in, my last annual Mes
sage that it would be- !inexpcdient for the
Government to undertake this great work
! by agents Of it eva appointment and under
| its direct and exclusive control. This would
increase the patronage of the Executive to q
dangerous extent. and would foster 4 system
Of iobbing and corruption which no yicilanc,,e.

The construction of this read ought there
fore, ito be entrusted to corpcrated COMMA
MES, or other agencies; who would exercise
that active and vigiant supervision over 81 Il
which can be inspired alone BY aIsense of
corporate and individual Interest," I venture
to assert that the additional cost Of trans.
porting troops, munitions If war. and NEG
essary supplies for the array scro.s the vast
intervening plains to our possessions on the
Pucific coast, would be greater in such a
war than the whole amount required to con-

more are allowed for the settlement Of their
accounts before the Department could be
called upon tor payment. ,1;lz4,' b. 81
The great difficulty and tho great hardship
consisted in the failure to provide for the
payment of the deficiency in the fiscal wear
ending the 3Oth June, 1859. The Depart
ment has entered into contracts in obedience
to existing laws, for the service II that fiscal
year, and the contractors were fairly entitled
to their compensation as it became due. The
deficiency as stated in tho bill amounted to
$3838, 729, but after careful settlement Of
all these accounts, it has been ascertained
that it amounts to $4.296, COO. With the
scanty means at his command the Postmas-
ter General has managed to pay that portion
Q: his deficiency which occurred in the first
two quarters Of the past fiscal year, ending
on the 3lst December last. In the mean
time the contractors themselves, under these
trying circumstances, have behaved in a
manner worthy Of all commentator. They
had one resource in the midst Of their EN-
barrassmcnts. After the amount due to
each Of them had been ascertained and finally
settled according to Law, this became speci-
uea debt Of recoru against the United States,
which enabled them to borrow money on this
unquestionable security. Still they were
obliged to pay interest in consequence Of the
default Of Congress, and on every principle
|of justice ought to receive interest from the
Department. This interest should com
:nencc from the date when warrant would
have issued Tor the payment Of the principal
had "a appropriation been made for this p',r-
pose. Calculated up to the first of Decem-
Der, it will not exceed 500, Goa sum, not
to be taken into account when contrasted
with the great difficulties and embarrass-
ments Of public and private character, both
to the people and the States, which would
have resulted from converting and holding 9
special session in Congress. - 5... :,

But It Is y question which relates to the Il,

and which involves, Indirectly ut least, the

l would, also, again recommend to Con-
srsss that authority be given to the Presi-

cargoes, against violent and lawless seizure
and *coniscation in the ports of Mexico and
the Spanish American States, when those
countries may I've in disturbed and revolu-
tionary condition. :, The. mere. knowledge
that such an authority had been conferred, as
have already stated, would Of itself in a
great degree, prevent the evil. Neither
would this require any additional appropra'
ton for the naval service.
The chief obetion urged against the grant
Of this authority is; that c. nsress, comforting
it, would violate the Constitution-that it
would be transfer Of the war-makins, or,
strictly speaking. the ,war-decIaring power to
