difficulty. It is qjtte iiujforiaiitf that tlio laws
regulating tlio puv ami emoluments of officers
generally, should bo Ijioro fl^ccillo tlian they
now are. Thoso, for example, in relation to
tin* Paymaster and Surgeon General, assign
to them uii annual salary of two thousand live
hundred dollars; but arc silent as to allow
ances which, in certain exigencies of the ser
vice, tuny be deemed indismmsablo to the dis
charge of their duties. This circumstance
has been tl»o autliority for extending to them
various allowances, at different times, un
der lbrmor administrations; but no uniform
rule has been observed on the subject. Sim
ilar inconveniences exist in other cases ; in
which the construction put upon tho laws by
the public accountants, may operate unequal
ly’, produce confusion, and expose officers to
the odium of claiming what is not their duo.
1 recommend to your fosteringcare, as one
of our safest means of national defence, the
Military Academy. This institution has al
ready exercised tno happiest intlucneo upon
the morals and intellectual character of our
army ; anil such of tho graduates as, from va
rious causes, may not pursue tho profession of
arms, will be scarcely less useful us citizens.
Their knowledge of the military art will bo
advantageously employed in the militia ser
vice ; ami, in a measure, secure to that class
of troops tho advantages which, in this res
pect, belong to standing armies.
I would also suggest a review of tho Pen
sion law, for the purpose of extending its ben
efits to every U jvolutienury soldier who aided
in establishing our liberties, and who is una
ble to maintain himself in comfort. These
relics of tho War of Independence have strong
claims upon their country’s gratitude ami
bounty. Tho law is defective, in not embrac
ing within its provisions all those who wore,
during the last war, disabled from supporting
themselves by manual labor. Such an amend
ment would add but littleto the amount of pen
sions, and is called for by the sympathies of
tho p io]de, as well as by considerations of
sound policy. It will be perceived that a
large addition to tho list of pensioners has
been occasioned by an order of the late ad
ministration, departing materially from the
rales which h id previously prevailed. Con
sidering it auact of legislation, I suspended
its operation as soon, os I was informed that
it had commenced. Before this period, how
ever, applications under the new regulations
had befell preferred to the number of one hun
dred ami titty-four; of which, on the 27th of
March, tho date of its revocation, cighty-so-
ven wore admitted. For tho amount, there
was neither estiinato nor appropriations; aud
besides this deficiency, the regular allowances,
according to tho rules which have heretofore
govcracutho Department, exceed tho esti
mate of its late Secretary, by nbout fifty thou
sand dollars j for which an appropriation is
asked.
Your particular attention is requested to
that part of the report of the Secretary of
War which relates to the money hold in trust
for the Seneca tribe of Indians. It will be
perceived that, without legislative aid, the
Executive cannot obviate the embarrassments
occasioned by the diminution of the dividends
on tint fund; which originally amounted to
one hundred thousand dollars, and has re
cently been invested in U. S. three per cent
stock.
The condition and ulterior destiny of tho
Indian tribes within the limits of some of our
States, have become objects of .much interest
und importance. It lias long been tho policy
of Government to introduce among, thorn the
arts of civilization, in the hope of gradually
reclaiming them from a wandering life. This
ly interesting to dur national character. Their
present condition contrasted with what they
once were, makes a most powerful appeal to
our sympathies. Our ancestors found them
the uncontrolled possessors of these vast re
gions. By porsuasion and force they have
been made to retire from river to river, and
from mountain to mountain, until some of the
tribes have become extinct, and others have
loft but remnants to preserve, fora while, their
onco terrible mimes. Surrounded by tiro
whites, with their urts of civilization, which,
hv destroying the resources of tho savage,
doom him to weakness aud decay, the fate of
the Mnhcgnn, tho NHrragaiisett,*nnd the Del
aware, is fast overtaking the Choctaw, tho
Cherokee, und the Creek. That this fate
surely awaits them, if they remain within the
limits of the States, does not admit of a doubt
Humanity and national honor demand that
every effort should bo made to avert so groat a
calamity. It is too Into to inquire whether it
was just in tho United States to include them
and their territory within tho hounds of now
States whose limits they could control. That
stop cannot bo retraced. A State cannot bo
dismembered by Congress, or restricted in
the exercise of her constitutional power. But
the people of these States, and of every State,
actuated hy feelings of justice and regard for
our nationnl honor, submit to you the interest
ing question, whether something cannot be
done, consistently with tho rights of tho
States, to preserve this much injured race 1
As a means of effecting this end, I suggest
for your consideration the propriety of setting
apart an ample district, west of the Mississip
pi, and without tho limits of uuy State or
Territory, now formed, to bo guarantied to
the Indian tribes, as long as they shall occupy
it; oach tribo having a distinct control over
tho portion designated for its use. There
they may be secured in the enjoyment of go
vernments of their own choice, subject to no
otlier control from tho United States, than
such as maybe necessary to preserve peace
on tho frontier,. & between the several tribes.
There tho benevolent may endeavor to teach
them the arts of civilization; and by promo
ting union and harmony uinong them, to raise
up on interesting commonwealth, destined to
perpetuate the race, aud to attest the humani
ty and justice of the Government.
This emigration should bo voluntary; for
it would boas cruel aft unjust to compel tho.
aborigines to abandon tho graves of. their fa
thers, and seek n home in a distant land. But
they should bo distinctly informed, that, if
they remain within tho limits of tho States,
they must be subject to their hCws. In return
for their obedience, as individuals, they will,
without doubt, be protected in the enjoyment
of thoso possessions which thoy have impro
ved by their industry. But it seems to mo
visionury to suppose that, in.this state of
things, claims ckn bo allowed on tracts of
country on which they have neither dwelt
nor made improvements, merely because they
have seen them from the mountain, or passed
them in the cliuso. Submitting 1o tho laws
of the-States, and receiving, like other citi
zens, protection iu their persons and property,
they will, ere long, become merged in the
mass of our population.
Tin* accompanying report of the .Secretary
of tho Navy will make you acquainted with
tho condition and useful employment of that
brunch of our service during tho present year.
Constituting, as.it docs, tho best standing se
curity of this country against foreign aggres
sion, it claims tho especial attention of go-
vornmniit. In this spirit, tho inoasnres which,
since the termination of tho hist war, have
been iu operation for its gradual enlarge-
policy bus, however, buen coupled With ano.! incut, wore adopted; und it should continue
tlier, wholly incompatible with its success, tohochorishcdnsthooffspringofoiirnation-
Profossing a desire to civilize and settle them,
vtj have, at the same time, lost no opportuni
ty to purchase their lauds, and thrust them
further into the wilderness. By this mcaus
they have not only been kept in a wandering
state, but boon led to look upon us as unjust
and indifferent to their fate. Thus, though
lavish in its expenditures upon tho subject,
Government has constantly defeated its own
policy; and the Indians in general receding
further and further to tho West, have retain
ed their savage habits. A portion, however,
of the Southern tribes, having mingled much
with the whites, and made soino progress in
tlie’arts of civilized life, have lately attempt
ed to erect an independent government with
in the limits of Georgia and Alabama. These
States, claiming to bo the only Sovereigns
within their territories, extended their laws
over the Indians, which induced the latter to
call upon tho United States for protection.
Under those circumstances, the question
presented was whether the Gon. Gov’t, had a
right to sustain thoso people in their preten
sions 1 The Constitution declares, that “no
new State shall be formed or erected within
the jurisdiction of any State without tho con
sent of its Legislature. ]ftho General Go
vernment is not permitted to tolerate the orce-
tion of a confederate State within tlio territo
ry of one of tho members of this Union, a-
gaiiist her consent, much less could it allow a
foreign and independontgovornmont to estab
lish itself there. Georgia became a member
of the Confederacy winch eventuated in our
federal Union, as a sovereign State, always
asserting her claim to certain limits ; which,
having been originally defined in her colonial
charter, and subsequently recognized in the
treaty of peace, she has ever since continued
to enjoy, except as they have boon circumscri
bed by her own voluntary transfer of a por
tion of her territory to the United Stotcs, in
tiie articles of cession of 1802. Alabama was
admitted to the Union on the same footing
with the original States, with boundaries
which were prescribed by Congress. There
is no constitutional, conventional, or legal
provision, which allows them less power over
the Indians within their borders, than is pos
sessed by. Maine or New York t Would the
people of Maine permit tho Penobscot .tribe
to erect an Independent Government within
their State I and unless they did, would it not
be the duty of the General Government to
support them in resisting such a measure 1—
Would tho people of New York permit each
remnant of the Six Nations within her bor
ders, to declare itself an independent people,
under the protection of the U. Stutcs 1 Could
the Indians establish a separate republic oil
each of their reservations in Ohio 1 And it
thoy wore so disposed, would it be the duty
of this Government to protect them in the at
tempt 1 If tho principle involved in tlio ob
vious answer to thoso questions bo abandon
ed, it will follow that tho objects of this Go
vernment are reversed; and that it lias bo-
come a part of its duty to aid in destroying
tho States which it was established to protect.
Actuated by this view of the subject, I in
formed the Indians inhabiting parts of Geor
gia ann Alabama that their attempt to ostab-
fish an independent government would not
bo countenanced by the Executive ot the U-
nited States, and advised them to emigrate
beyond the Mississippi, or submit to tho laws
of those States. . . . „
Our conduct towards these people is ueep-
ul experience. It will be scon, however, that,
notwithstanding the groat solicitude that has
been manifested for tlm perfect organization
of this uriu, and the liberality of the.appro-
propriations winch that solicitude has sug
gested, this object lias, in many important res
pects, not been secured.
In time of peace, we have need of no more
ships*of war than are requisite to the protec
tion of our commerce. Thoso not wanted
for this object, must lay in tho hurbors, where,
without proper covering, thoy rapidly decay;
and, even under the best precautions for their
preservation, must soon become useless.—
Such is already the case with many of our
finest vessels; which, though unfin
ished, will now require immense sums of mo
ney to be restored to the condition in which
they were, when committed to their proper
clement. On this subject there can bo but
little doubt, that our best policy would be, to
discontinue the building of ships of the first
and second cluss, and look rather to the pos
session of ample materials, prepared for the
emergencies of war, than to tho number of
vessels which wo can float in a season of
peace, as the index of our naval power. Ju
dicious deposits in Navy Yurds, of timber
and other materials, fashioned under the hands
of skillful workmen, und fitted for prompt ap
plication to their various purposes, would
enable us at all times, to construct vessels
as fast ns thoy can be manned, and save tiie
heavy expense of repairs, except to such ves
sels as must be employed in guarding our
commerce. The proper points for tho esta
blishment of these yards, arc indicated with
so much force in tho report of tho Navy
Board, that in recommending it to your at
tention, I deem it unnecessary to do more
than express my hearty concurrence in their
views. The yard in this district, being already
furnished with mostoftho machinery necessa
ry for ship-building, will be competent to tiie
supply of tlio two selected by tlio Board us
tlio best for tho concentration of materials;
and from tho facility and certainty of com
munication between them, it will bo use
less to incur, at these depots, tlio expense
of similar machinery, especially that used in
preparing tho usual metallic and wooden iur-
nituro of vessels.
Another improvement would be effected by
dispensing altogether with the.Navy Board,
as now constituted; and substituting in its
stead, bureaus, similar to those ulrondy exist-
in tho War Department. Each member of
the Board ttansferred to the head of a sepa-
rate bureau, charged with specific duties,
would feel, in its highest degree, that whole
some responsibility which cannot be divided
without a far more than proportionate dimi
nution of its force. Their valuable services
would become still more so when separately
appropriated to distinct portions of the great
interests of tho Navy, to tho prosperity of
which each would be impelled to devote him
self by .the st rongest, motives. Under such
an arrangement, every branch of this import
tant service, would assume a more simple
and precise character; its efficiency would
bn increased, and scrupulous economy in the
expenditure of public monoy promoted.
1 would also recommend that- the* marine
corps bo merged in the artillery or infantry,
ns tiie best mode of curing tho many defects
in its organization. But little exceeding in
number any of the regiments ofinfantry, that
corps bus* Isoldes its Lieutenant Colonel
Commandant, fivo Brevet Lieutenant Colo-
w™ receive tho lull pay and emoluments
of their brevet .rank, without tendering pro-
portumatc service. Details for marine ser
vice could us well bo inude from tlio infantry
or-artillery, there being no peculiar training
rcauisito lor it. ... ,
With these improvements, and such others
ns zealous watch Ailness and mature consider
ation may suggest, there can-bo littlo doubt
that, undef an energetic.administration of
its afiuirs, the Navy limy soon bo made every
thing that tho nation wishes it to*bo. Its efli-
ciency in tlio suppression of piracy iu tho W.
India seas, and wherever its squudrons havo
boon employed in securing tlio interests of
Uio country, will appenr from tho report of tho
tlccrotary, to which I refer you, for other in
teresting details, Among these, I would be
speak the attention of Congress, for the viows
presented in relation to the inequality between
the Army and Navy, as to tho pay of officers.
No such inequality should prevail between
these bravo defenders of their country ; ami
whore it does exist, it is submitted to Con
gress, whether it oguht not to bo rectified.
The report of the Postmaster General is
referred to as exhibiting a highly satisfactory
administration of that Department. - Abuses
have been reformed; increased expedition in
the transportation of tho mail secured; and
its revenue much improved. Iu a political
point of view, this Department is chiefly im-
norlunt us affording tho means of diffusing
knowledge. It is to tho body politic,wluifc tho
veins anu arteries are to tlio natural, convoy-
iim vapidly and regularly, to the remotest parts
ofthe system, correct information of tho up-
rations of tlio Government, and bringing hack
to it the wishes and feelings of tlio people.
Through its agency, wo have secured to cur-
selves the full enjoyment of tho blessings of a
free press.
. In this general survey of our affaire, a sub
ject of high importance presents itself in tho
present organization of the Judiciary. An
uniform operation of the Federal Govern
ment in tho different States is certainly desi
rable ; and, existing as they do in tho Union,
on tlio basis of perfect equality, each state has
a right to expect that the benefits conferred
on tlio citizens of others, should be extended
to hers. The judicial system of tho United
States exists in all its efficiency in only fifteen
members of tlio Union; to throe others, tho
.Circuit Courts, which constitute an impor
tant part of tlmt system, havo buen imperfect
ly extended ; mid, to tlio remaining six, alto
gether denied. Tho effect has been to with*
lohl from the inhabitants ofthe latter, tho ad
vantages nllbriled (by the Supremo Court) to
their fellow-citizen s in other States, in tho
whole extent of tho criminal, and much of
tho civil autliority of tlio Federal Judiciary.
That this state of tilings ought to he remedied,
if it can be done consistontjy with tho public
wclfair, is not to bo doubted ; neither is it to
bo disguised tiiat the organization ofour judi
cial system, is at once a. difficult mid delicate
task. * To extend the (Jireuit Courts equally
throughout thodifferent. parts ofthe Union,
und, at thcBome time, to uvo.-l such a multi-
plicutisn of iiuud < :s a ; wend - ncumber the
Supreme Ai/pcilato Tribunal, is the object de
sired. Perhaps it might be accomplished by
dividing tho Circuit Judges into two classes,
and providing that tho Supreme Court should
ho held hv thoso classesulteruatcly-tho Chief
Justice always presiding.
if an extension ofthe Circuit Court svs*
tom to those States which do not now enjoy
its benefits should l»o diUormindd tipup,Tt.
wopld, of course, be lunv.-ssury to revise tin*
present arrageuient. of tin circuits; uud even
if that system should not ho enlarged, such a
revision* is recommended.
A nravision for t iking the census of the
people of the United States, will, to ensure
tlio completion of that, work within ti conve
nient time, claim the oar’v attention of Con-
and contributed, us much as any exploits in
its history, to elevate our national character.
Public gratitude, therefore, stamps her seal
upon it; aud the meed should not bo with
hold which may horeattcr operate as a stimu
lus to our gallant tars.
>i I now commend you, fellow-citizens, to
tlio guiduned of Almighty God, with a full ro-
minco on his nicrciftil providencoforthe main

ANDREW JACKSON.
JtfONDAY MORNING, DEC. 11.
gross.
Tho great and constant increase of busi
ness in tho Department of State, forced itself,
at. an curly period, upon tho attention of the
Executive. Thirled! years ago, it was, in
Mr. Madison’s lust message to Congress,
made tho subject of an earnest-recommenda
tion, which lias been repeated by both of iiis
successors; and my comparatively limited ox-
lericnco 1ms satisfied me of its justness. It
ms arisen from muny causes,not the least of
which is the large ’addition that has been
made to tlio family of independent nations,
and tho proportionate extension of our foreign
relations. Tho remedy proposed was tho
establishment of a Ilomo Department—a
measure which dons not appear to havo met
tho views of Congress, on account of its sup
posed tendency to increase gradually and im
perceptibly tho already too strong bins of tho
federal system towards tho exercise of author
ity not delegated to it. I nm not, therefore,
disposed to revive the recommendation ; but
am not tho less impressed with tho impor
tance of so organizing that Department, that
its Secretary may devote moro of his time to
our foreign relations. Clearly satisfied that
the public good would be promoted by some
suitable provision on the subject, 1 respectful
ly invite your attention to it.
Tlio charter of tho Bunk of tho United
States expires in 1820, anil its stockholders
will most probably apply for a renewal oftlioir
privileges. In order to avoid tlio evils result
ing from precipitancy in a measure involving
such important principles, and such deep pe
cuniary interests, I feel tint I cannot, in jus-
tico to tiro patties interested, too soon present
it to the deliberate consideration of tho Leg
islature and the people. Both tho constitu
tionality and the expediency of tho law crea
ting this Bunk, arc well questioned by a large
portion of our fellow citizens, and it must be
admitted by all that it has failed in tho great,
end of establishing auuifurm aud sound cur
rency.
Under these circumstances, if such an in
stitution is deemed essential to the fiscal op
erations of the Government, I submit to the
wisdom of tlio Legislature, whether a nation
al one founded upon tho credit of tlio Govern
ment und its revenues, might not bo devised,
which would avoid all constitutional difficul
ties, and, at tho same time, secure all the ad
vantages to- the Government and country that
were expected to result from the present
Bunk.
I fcannot close this communication without
bringing to your view the just claim of tho
representatives of Commodore Decatur, hid
officers und crew, arising from the recapture
ofthe frigato Philadelphia, under tho ltcavy
batteries of Tripoli. Although sensible, us
a general rule, ofthe impropriety of Execu
live interference under a Government like
ours,.where every individual enjoys the right
of directly petitioning Congress, yet, view
ing this cose os one of a very peculiar
character; I* deem- it my duty to recom
mend it to your favorable consideration.—
Besides the iuetico of this claim, as corres
ponding to those which have been since re
cognised and satisfied, it is the fruit of a deed
of patriotic and chivalrous daring, which in
fused lilt* and confidence iiftodur infant Navy,

Import nml Stork of Cotton,—It appears by tlm pub

ton into Liverpool, from the 1st of January, to the 31st
of October, amounted to 014,594 baits. In the same
period ofl828 l .thu import reached 552,O i l. Tho stock

The sales from tho 1st of January to the 31st of Octo
ber, havo amounted to 602,080 hags, which exhibits a
weekly average of upwards of 1*1,000. This average
is, wo believe, greater limn the average ui ativ previous
year. It shows that, depressed as tiie times have been,
the consumption of Cotton has greatly increased during
the present year.
