TO the Senate and House Of Rcpresen ntatires
In addressing my third annual mes.sa
to the law-making branch Of the govern.
ment, 1t is gratifying TO state that during
the past year success has generally at
Tended the effort to execute the laws found.
lea upon the statute books. The policy has
not been to inquire INTO the wisdom of the
laws already enacted, but TO learn their
|'pirlt and intent, and TO enforce them nc.
|:ordingly.
THE PAST YEAR
The past year has, under a wise Proyi.
lence, been one Of general prosperity 10
no nation. 1t has however, been attend
q with more than usual chastisements in

Or US on the part Of foreign nations which
oes lar towards allevisting the distress
ccasioned by tho calamities. The benev-
lent who have so generously shared their
ieans with the victims of these misfor-
mes viii reap their reward in the con.
'iousness OF having performed a noble net,

FoREios RELATIONS.
The relations Of the United States with
reign powers continue to be friendly.
ne year has been ali eventful one in
itnessing two great nations, speak
& one language and having one
ieage, settling by peaceful arbitration
sputes of long standing, and liable at
y tlma to bring those nations into bloody
d hostile conflicts. An example has
us been set which, if successful in its
al issue, may be followed by other civ
zed nations, and be the final means of
turning to productive industry millions
men now maintained 10 settle the dis
ties Of nations by the bayone, and

,ol Of the conferences Of the commits
