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 tenance of our free institutions ; aud witii an earnest supplication, that, .whatever errors it may bo my lot to commit, in discharging tiie arduous duties which have devolved oil me, they will find a remedy in tiie harmony &. wis dom of your counsels. 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, fCy 1 * Tlio a|i[ia&ruiica of our culuniuk tUU will no doubt bu considered a sufficient apology for die omission or tho many favors nfmir friends.
