TIE sLkYR TRADE,

The execution Of the laws for the
suppression Of the African slave trade has
been confined to the Department of the In
terror. It is a subject Of congratulatlon that
the efforts which have been made for the
suppression Of this inhumsn traffic have re-
Gently been attended with unusual success.
Five vessels being atted out for the slave
trade have been seized and cOndemnedi two
masters engaged in the trade, and one per-
son equipping the vessel as q SLAYER has
been convicted and subjected to the penalty
Of fine and imprisonment, and one captain
taking mp cargo Of Africans on board his
vessel has been convicted of the highest
grade of offence under our laws, the punish
meRt Of which Is death.

TIE 0. 5. STATUTES.

l respectfully recommend to the consider
alton of Congress, the present condition of
the statute laws, with the hope that Congress
will be able to find an easy remedy for the
many inconvenience and evils which con-
stautly embarrass those engaged In the prac-
ticai administration of them.
Since the organization of the Government
Congress has enacted some 5000 scts and
Joint resolutions, which fill more than 5000
closely printed pages, and are scattered
through many volumes. Many of these acts
have been drawn in haste and without su@-
cient caution, 80 that their provisions are of
ten obscure in themselTe or in conflict with
each 'other, or at least so doubtful as
30 render 1t very difficult for even
the best informed persons to ascertain pre-
cisely what the statute law is.
1t seems 10 me very important that the
statute law should be made as plain and in
telliglble as possible, and be reduced to as
small compassas may consist with the full
ness and precision Of the win of the legisla-

TIE CaJNA CLAIMS.

L repeat the recommendation ci ny pTed5-
ce5sOr, in his annual message tc Congress,
in December last, in regard TO the disposition
of the surplus which viii probably remain
after satisfying the claims of American citi-
zens against China, pursuant to the svsFds
of the Commissioners, under the act of the
Sd Of March, 1859. II, however, z should
not be deemed advisable to carry that recom-
mendation into effect, I would suggest that
authority be given for investing the princi-
pal, over the surplus referred to, i. good Sc
curites, with view to the satisfaction OF
such other Just claims Of our citizens against
China as are not unlikely to arise hereafter
in the course of our extensive trade with that
Empire.
By the act of the 5th of Angus last, Con-
gress authorized the President 70 instruct the
commanders ;of suitable vessels to defend
themselves against, and to capture pirates.
This authority has been exercised II q single
instance only.
For the more eifectual protection OF our
extensive and, valuable commerce in the Eas-
tern seas, especially, it seems to ms that it
would also be advisable to authorize the COM
manders Of sailing vessels TO recapture any
prizes which pirates may make Of United
States vessela autheir eargoes, and the Con-
sulsr Courts established by Law in Eastern
Countries 70 oadjudicate the cases in TIE event
thstltuis should not be objected 70 BY the To-
cal authorities.
TIE INDEPENDENCE or HAYTI AND LIEsRIA.
Ifany good reason exists why we should
peraevere longer in withholding ou- recogni-
ition Of the independence and sovereignty of
Hayi and Liberis, am unable to discern It.
Unwilling however, to inangurste a novel
policy in regard TO them without the eppro-
baton Of Congress- submit for your consid-

THE TERRIIoEIEa.

The Territories of Colorado, DakOtah and
Nevada, created by the last Congress, have
been organized, and civil administration
has been inaugurated therein under auspices
especially gratifying, when It Is considered
that the leaven Of treason was found existing
in some Of these new countries when the
Federal officers arrived there. The abundant
natural resources of thesa Territories, with
the security and protection afforded by or
ganized Government, will doubtless invite to
them q large Immigration when peace shall
restore the business of the country to Its ac-
customed channels. Isubmit the resolutions
of the Legislature Of Colorado, which
evinced the patriotic spirit Of the people of
the territory. So far the authority Of the
United States has been upheld In all the ter
ritories, as it Is hoped 1t will be in the future.
commend their interests and defence to the
enlightenedand generous care Of Congress.

no doubt cooperate, and through her Legis-

INDIAN AFFAIRS.

The relations of the Government With the
Indian tribes haYe been lately disturbed by
the insuTection, especially in the northern su-
perintendency, and In that Of New Aexieo.-
The he Indian country south Of Kansas is in
possession of insurgents from Texas and Ar
kansas. The agents of the United States, ap-
pointed since the 9Th of March for this su-
perintendency, have been uHabio 70 reach
their posts, while the most Of those who
we're In office before that time have espoused
the insuFreotiouary cause, and assumed to
exercise the powers OF agents BY virtue Of
commissions from the insurrectionlsts It
has been stated in the public press that por-
tion Of these IndianE haze been organized as
q military force and are attached 70 the ermy
of the insurgents, although the Government
has no official information upon the subject.
Letters have been written to the Commits
sioner of Indian affaiFs by several prominent
chiefs, giving assurance of their loyalty to
the United States, and expressing the wish
for the presence Of the Federal troops to pro-
tect them. It is believed that on the re-pos-
session Of the country by the Federal forces,
the Indians will readily cease all hostile de-
and resume their former rela-
tons 70 the Government.
