Pa’esidesat’s Message.
Conti,'iited from our last.
Fellow Citizens of the Senate
and House of Representatives:
The safely ol t .e pah!,.- funds, and (he j n .
terest of the people gf-n.mally, requited that
these operations sho .id b e checked; and it
became the duty <>f every branch of the Gen
eral and Stale Governments to adopt all legi,.
lina'eaod proper means to prodine lhat salu
rary efl’-ct. Under this view of fn y duty, I
directed the issuing of the cider which will
he laid before you by the Secretary of the
Treasury, requiring payment for (he public
lands .-.old to bo mitfl its specie, with an "ex
ception until the 15. h ci’ (he present month,
in 11 vor of <>c(i>al si iih rs. 1 Ins measure has
produci d many salutary consequences. It
checked me ititeer of the western banks, and
give them addi tonM strong hin anticipation
of tl>e pressure which has strn e pervade I ot r
eastern a« well a> tue European commercial
cities. By preventing ihe extension of the
eredu system, il measurably cut ufl’the means
ol speculation, and retarded its progress in
monopolizing the most v iluable of the public
1 ‘"'ls- it has tended to save ihe New State
from a nori-re.«.idenl proprietorship, ttninf ih->
-leaiest obstacles to the advancement of a
new country and the prosperity of an old
one. It has tended to keep open the public
lands for the entry by emigrants at Govern
min puces, insteal of their being compelled
