eolation combined, has l>ecn attended bv diminished importations, and a consequent falling off in the revenue. This lias indue- j edCongress, from 1537, to resort to the ex pedient of issuing l teasury notes, and finally j of funding them, in order to supply defi- ciencies. 1 cannot, however withhold the , remark that it is in no way compatible with the dignity of the Government that a pub lic debt should be created in time of peace to meet the current expenses of the Gov ernment. or that temporary expedients should he resorted to an hour longer than it is possible to avoid them. Ihe Executive can do no more than apply the means which Congress places in its hands for the support of Government; and happily for the good of the countiy and for the preservation of its liberties, it possesses no power to levy exactions on the people, or to force front j them contributions to the public revenue in i any form. It can only recommend such measures as may, in its opinion, be called for by the wants of the public service, to Congress, with whom alone rests the pow er to “ lay and collect taxes, duties, imports and excises.” This duty has upon several occasions heretufoie been performed. The present condition of things gives a flattering promise that trade and commerce are rapid ly reviving, and, fortunately for the country, the sources of revenue have only to he opened, in order to prove abundant. While we can anticipate no considerable increase in the proceeds of the sales of the public lands for reasons peifectly obvious to all, for several years to come, yet the public lands cannot otherwise than be re garded as the foundation of the public cred it. With so large a body of the most fer tile lands in the world under the control and at the disposal of the Government, no orte can reasonably doubt the entire ability of the Government to meet its engagements under every emergency. In seasons of trial and difficulty similar to those through which we are passing, the capitalist makes his investment in the Government Blocks with the most assured confidence of ultimate reimbursement ; and whatever may he said in a period of great financial prosperity, such as existed for some years after 1533, I should regard it as suicidal in a season of financial embarrassment, either to alienate the lands themselves, or the proceeds arising from their sales. The first and paramount duty of those to whom- tnay be entrusted the administration of public affairs, is to guard the public credit. In re-establishing the credit of this central Government, the readiest and most obvious mode is taken to restore the credit of the States. The ex tremities can only be made sound by pro ducing a healthy action in the Central Gov ernment, and itie history of the present day fully establishes the fact, that an increase in the value of the stocks of this Goverment will, in a majority of instances, be attended by an increase in the value of toe stocks of the States. It should, therefore, be a mat ter of general congratulation that amidst all the embarrassments arising from surround ing circumstances, the credit of the Gov ernment should have been so fully restored that it has been enabled to effect a loan of seven millions of dolSais to redeem that amount of Treasury notes, on terms more favorable than any that have been offeied fur many years. And the six per cent stock which was cret.ed in 1312, has advanced in the hands rs the holders to nearly twenty per cent, above its par value. The confi dence of the people in the integrity of their Government hu thus been signally mani fested. These opi.dons relative to the pub lic lands do not in any manner conflict with the observance of the most liberal policy towards those of our fellow-citizens who pies* forward into the wilderness and are the pioneers in the work of its reclamation. In securing to all such their rights of pre emption. tka Government performs but an act of retributive justice for sufferings en countered and hardships endured, and finds ample remuneration in the comforts which its policy ensures and the happiness which it imparts. Should a revision of the tariff, with a view to revenue, become necessary in the estimation of Congress, 1 doubt not you will approach the subject with a just and enlightened regard to the interests of the whole Unioo. The principles and views which I have heretofore had occasion to submit, remain unchanged. It can, howev er, never lie too often lepeated, that the prominent interest of every important pur suit of life, requires for success, permanen cy and stability in legislation. These can only be attained by adopting as the basis of action, moderation in all things, which is as indispensibly necessary to secure the har monious action of the political as of the an imal system. In our political organization, no one section of the country should desire to have its supposed interests advanced at (he sacrifice of all others; but Union being the great interest, equally precious to all, should be fostered and sustained by mutual concessions and the cultivation of that spirit of compromise from which the Constitution itself proceeded. You will be iufiirmod, by the report from the Treasury Department, of the measures taken under the act ot the last session, au thorizing the re-issue of Treasury notes in lieu of those then outstanding. The sys tem adopted in pursuance of existing laws, seems well calculated to save the country a large amount of interest, while it affords conveniences and obviates dangers and ex pense in the transmission of funds to dis bursing agents. I refer you also to that re port for the means proposed by the Secreta ry to increase the revenue, and particularly to that portion of it which relates to the of the ware-bousing system, which ) earnestly urged upon Congress at its last session, and as to the importance of which my-opinion has undergone no change. In view of the disordered condition of tile currency at the time, and the high rates of exchange between different parts of the country, I felt it to be incumbent on me, to present to the considers!ion of your prede oeaeom, a proposition conflicting in no de gree with the Constitution, or with the rights of tfte States, and having the sanc tion not in detail, but in principle, of some of the eminent moo who had preceeded me tH.tbe Executive office. That proposition •uatemplated tba issuing of Treasury notea of denomination not less than five nor more j than one hundred dollars, to be employed j in payment of the obligations of the Gov- j eminent in lieu of gold and silver, at the op tion of the public creditor, and to an amount not exceeding 31.3,000,000. It was pro posed to make them receivable everywhere, and to establish at various points deposito ries of gold and silver to lie held in trust for the redemption of such notes, so as to ensure their convertibility into specie. No doubt waseiilertainedthat such notes would have maintained a par value with .gold and silver, thus furnishing a paper currency of equal value over lhe Union, thereby meeting the just expectations of the people and ful filling the duties of a parental Government. Whether the depositories should be per mitted to sell or purchase bills under very limited restrictions, together with all its oth er details, was submitted to the wisdom of Congress, and was regarded as of secondary importance. 1 thought then, and think now, j that such an arrangement would have been j attended with the happiest results. The j whole matter of the currency would have been placed where by the Constitution it was designed to be placed —under the immediate supervision and control of Congress. The action of the government would have been independent of all corporations, and the same eye which rests unceasingly on the specie currency and guards it ag q inst adult eration, would also have rested on the pil j per currency, to control and regulate its issues ard protect it against depreciation. The same reason which would forbid Congress, from parting with the power over the coinage, would seem to operate ■ with nearly equal force in regard to any substitution for the precious metals ir. the form of a circulating medium. Paper, when substituted for specie, constitutes a standard of value by which the operations of society are regulated, and whatsoever causes its depreciation, effects society to an extent nearly, if not quite, equal to the adul teration of the coin. Nor can I withhold the remark, that its advatnages contrasted with a Bank of the United Slates, apart from the fact that a bank was esteemed as obnoxious to the public sentiment, as well on the score of expediency as of constitu tionality, appeared tome to be strking and obvious. The elief which a bank would afford by an issue of $15,000,000 of its notes,judging from the experience of the late United States Bank, would not occur red in less than fifteen years; whereas,un ’ der the proposed arrangements, the relief arising fmm the issue of $15,000,000 of Treasury notes would have been consum mated iri one year; thus furnishing in one fifteenth part of the time in which a bank could have accomplished it, a paper medi um of exchange, equal in amount to the real I wants of tire country, at par value with gold i and silver. The saving to the government I would have been equal to all the interest | which it has had to pay on Treasury notes ! of previous as well as subsequent issues, j thereby relieving the government, and at the j same time affording relief to the peop'e.— i Under ail the responsibilities attached to the station which 1 occupy, and in redemp tion of a pledge given to the last Congress at the close of its first session, I submitted the suggestion to its consideration at two consecutive sessions. The recommendation, however, met with no favor at its hands. While I am free to admit that the necessi ties of the times have since become greatly ameliorated, and that there is good reason to hope that the country is safely and rapid ly emerging from the difficulties anil embar rassments which every where surrounded it in 1811, yet 1 cannot hut think that its restoration to a sound and healthy condition would he greatly expedited by a resort to the expedient in a modified form. The operations of the Treasury now rest on the act. of 1789, and the resolution of 1816, and those laws have been so adminis tered as to produce as great a quantum of good to the country as their provisions are capable of yielding. If ifiere had been any distinct expression of opinion going to show that public sentiment is aveise to the plan cither as heretofore recommended to Con gress, or in a modified form, while my own opinion in regard to it would remain unchanged, l should lie veiy far from again presenting it to your consideration. The Government has originated with the States and the people, for their own benefit and advantage ; and it would be subversive of the foundation principles of the political ed ifice which they have reared, to perserve in a measure which in their mature judgements, they had either repudiated or condemned. The will of our constituents, clearly expres sed, should he regarded as a light to guide our footsteps ; the true difference between a monarchical or aristocratical government and a Republic being, that in the first the will of the few prevails over the will of the many while in the lasttho will of the many should he alone consulted. The report of the Secretary of War will bring you acquainted with the condition of that important branch of the public service. The Army may be regarded in consequence of the small number of the rank and file in each Company and Regiment, as little more than a nucleus arouud which to rally the military force of the countiy in case of war, and yet its services in preserving the peace of the frontiers arc of a most important na ture. In all cases of emergency, the reli ance of the country is properly placed in the malitiaofthc several States, anil it may well deserve the consideration of Congress, whether anew and more perfect organiza tion might notbe introduced,looking mainly to the volunteer companies of the Union for the present, and of easy application to the great body of the malitia in time of war. The expenditures of the War Department have been considerably reduced in the last | two years; contigeneies. however may arise, j which would call for the filling up of the ) regiments with a full complement of men, j and make it very desirable to remount the j Corps of Dragoons, which by an act of the J last Congress was directed to be dissolved. I refer you to the accompanying report j of the Secretary for information in relation to the Navy of the United States. While every effort has been and will continue to be made to retrench all suneifluilies and lop off all excrescences which from time to time s<d jjj m zt si ® may have grown up, yet it has not been re garded as wise or prudent to recomnied any material change in annual appropriations.— The interest which aio involved are of too important a character to lead *o the recom- j metulation of any other than a liberal puli- < cy. Adequate appropriations ought to be made to enable tbe Executive to fit out all the ships that are now in a course of build ing, or that require repairs, for active ser vice in the shortest possible time, should any emergency arise which may require it. An efficient Navy, while it is the cheapest means of public defence, enlists in its sup port the feelings of pride and confidence which brilliant deeds and heroic valor have heretofore served to strengthen and confirm. I refer you particularly to that part of the Secretary's Report which has reference to recent experiments in the application of steam and in the construction of war steam ers, made under list* superintendence of dis tinguished officersoflhe navy. In addition to oilier manifest improvements in the mn stmetion of the steam engine and applica tion to the motive power, which has ren dered them mors appmpriate to the uses of ships of war, one of those officers has j brought into use a power which makes the j steam ship most formidable either for attack jor defence. I cannot too strongly rccom j mend this subject to your consideration, i and do not hesitate to express my entire I conviction of its great importance. ! J ci;!* vour particular attention also to 1 that portion vu Secretary’s report which 1 has reference to tbe uCt of l a,e session of Congress which prohibited the transfer | of any balance of appropriation fmm other heads of appropriation to that for building, equipment and repair. The repeal of that prohibition will enable the Department to give renewed employment to a large class of workmen who have been necessarily dis charged in consequence of the want of means to pay them—a circumstance atten ded especially at this season of the year, with much privation and suffering. It gives me great pain to announce to you the loss of the steam ship •• The Mis | souri,*’ by fire, in tbe Bay of Gibraltar, where she bad stopped to renew her sup plies of coal, on her voyage to Alexandria, with Mr. Cushing, the American Minister to China on board. There is ground for high commendation of the officers and men, for the coolness and inferpidity and pcfect submission to discipline evinced under the most trying circumstances. Surrounded by a raging fire, which the utmost exertions ■ could not subdue, and which threatened mo. mentarily the explosion of her well sup plied magazines, the officers exhibited no sign of fear, and the men obeyed every or der with alacrity. Nor was she abandon ed until the last gleam of hope of saving her had expired. It is well worthy of your con sideration whether the losses sustained by the officers and crew in this unfortunate af fair should not be reimbursed to them. I cannot lake leave of this painful sub juct without adverting to the aid rendered upon the occasion, by tbe British authori ties at Gibraltar, and the commander, offi cers and crew of the British ship of the line “ The Malabar,” which was lying at the time in the bay. Every thing that gener osity or humanity could dictate, was prompt ly performed. It is by such acts of good will by one to another of the family of na tions, that fraternal feelings are nourished and tire blessings of permanent peace se cured. The report of the Postmaster General will bring you acquainted with the opera tions of that Department during die past year, and will suggest to you such modifi . cations of the existing laws as in your opin ion tbe exigencies of tbe public service may ; require. The change which the country has undergone of late years in the mode of travel and transportation has aflhidrid so many facilities for the transmission cf mail matter nut of the regular mail, as to require the greatest viligence and circumspection in order to enable the officers at the head of the Department to restrain the txpedi turc within the income. There is also too much reason to fear that the franking priv ilege has run into great abuse. The De partment nevi rtheless has been conducted with the gieatest vigor, and has attained at the least possible expense, all the useful objects for which it was established. In regard to all the Departments, I am quite happy in the belief that nothing has been left undone which was called for by a true spiiit of economy, or by a systen of ac countability rigidly enforced. This is in some degree apparent from the fact, that the Government has sustained no hiss by the default of any of its agents. In the complex, hut attlie same time, beautiful machinery of our system of Government, it is not a mat ter of surprise, that some remote agency may have failed for an instant to fulfill its desired office; but I feel confident iri the assertion, that nothing has occurred to in terrupt the harmonious action of the Gov ernment itself, and that while the laws have been executed, with efficiency and vigor, the rights neither of .States nor indi viduals have been trampled on or disregarded. In the mean time the country lias been steed ilyadvancitig in all that contributes to national ; greatness. The tide of population continues unlnokenly to flow into the new States and territories, where a icfuge is found not only for our native born fellow-citizens, but for j emigrants from all parts of the civilized world, who come among us to paitake of I the blessings of our free institutions, and to aid by their labor to swell the cut rent of our wealth and power. It is due to every consideration of pub lic policy that the lakes and rivers of the West should receive all such atten tion at the hands of Congress as the Con stitution will enable it to bestow. Works in favorable and proper situations on the lakes would be found to be as indespensably ne cessary in case of war to carry on safe and successful naval operations, as fortifica cations on the Atlantic sea board. The ap propriation made by the last Congress for the improvement of the navigation of the Mississippi river, has been diligently and efficiently applied. I cannot close this communication, gen tlemen, without recommending to your most favorable consideration, the interest of this District. Appointed by the Constitution ‘ its exclusive legislators, aim forming in this particular the only anomaly in our system of Government of the Legislative body be- ; ing elected by others than those for whose advantage they ate to legislate, you will feel n superadded obligation to look well into their condition, and to leave no cause for complaint or regret. The Seat of Gov ernment of our associated Republics can not but be regarded as worthy of your pa rental care. In connexion with its other interests, as well as those of the whole, country, l recom mend that at your present session you adopt such measures, in order to carry into effect the Smithsonian bequest, as in your judgment will he best calculated to consummate the liberal intent of the testator. When,under a dispensation of Divine Prov idence. I succeeded to the Presidential office, the state of public a flairs was embarrassing and critical. To add to the irritation conse quent upon a long standing controversy with one of tile most powerful nations of modern j times, involving not only questions of boun- I dary w hich under the most favorable circum | stances, are always embarrassing, hut at the I same lime important and high prncip'es of i maritime law—border controversies between I the citizens and subjects of the two countries ! bad engendered a stale of feeling and of con j duct which threatened the most calamitous j consequences. The hazards incident to this state of things were greatly heightened by the i arrest and imprisonment of a subject of Great ! Britain, who acting as it was alledged, as a part of a military force, had aided in thccom | mission of an act violative of the territorial , jpeistiction of the United States, and involving ‘the murder °f a citizen of the State of New- Yoi k. A large nn.cutil of claims against the Government of Mexico remained unadjusted, and a w>ar of several years’ continuance with the savage tribes of Florida still prevailed, attended with the desolation of a large portion of thin beautiful territory, and with the sacri fice of many valuable lives. To increase the embarrassments of the Government, individ ual and State ciedit had been nearly stricken down, and confidence in the General Govern, ment was so much impaired that loans of a small amount could only ho negotiated at a considerable sacrifice. Asa necessary con sequence of the bhglit which had fallen on commerce and mechanical industry, the ships ol the one were thrown out of employment, and the operations of tlie other had been greatly diminished. Owing to the condition of tbe currency, exchanges between different paitsofthe country had become ruinously high,and trade had to depend on a deprecia ted paper currency in conducting its tinnsac lions. I shall he permitted to congratulate t e country that, under an overruling Provi dence, peace was preserved w thorn a sacri fice of the national honcr ; the war in Flori da was brought to a speedy termination ; a large portion of the claims on Mexico have been fully adjudicated and arc in a course of payment, while justice has been rendered to us in other matters by other nations ; confi dence between man and man is in n great measure restored, and the credit of this Gov ernment fully and perfectly re-established.— Commerce is becoming more and more ex tended in its operations, and manuhiciming and mechanical industry once more reap the rewards of skill and labor honestly applied. The operations of trade rest on a sound cur rency. and the rates of exchange are reduced to their lowest amount. In this condition of things I have felt it lobe my duty to bring to your favorable consideration matters of great interest in their present and ultimate results, and the only desire winch I feel in conreclion with trie future is, and will continue to be. to leave the country prosperous, and its institu tions unimpaired.

J.) P< cemher 15,1812. Messrs. Funds—Gentlemen : Words cannot express’ ike gratitude 1 feel for your treatment to mo, a stran ger suffering under one of the most loathsome diseases ] that nature i.- capable of lu-aring. The disease with which I was afflicted commenced with inflammai'iii ol the eves, in the tear 1836, which caused almost to tal blindness. Fur this I was treated and finally relieverij but the remedies were such as to cause the develop ment of a scrotulous affection on my left arm near the j elbow. The pain extended from the shoulder to the end of my fingers, and for two years my sufferings were be yond description, I tried various r* medics nnd consult ed different Physicians in New York, nnd amongst them the late Dr. Bttshe, who told me the disease was caused by the large quantity of mercury taken to cure the inflammation ol mv eyes. M v sufferings continued, the arm enlarged, tumours formed in different places, and in a few months dis charged, making ten running ulcers at one time,some above and some below- the elbow, and the discharge was so offensive that no person could bear to he in the room where 1 was I then applied to another distin guished Physician, w ho told me ainpu'alion of the arm was the only thing flint could save my life, as i’ was impossible to cure so dreadful a disease ; but ns I was unwilling to consent to it be recommended me to use j Fwnint’s Panacea freely, which 1 did without deriving I hut little benefit For three years I was tumble to raise my hand to my i head or comb my hair, and the scrofula now made its j nnpcarnnre on my head, destroying the hone in riifler ent places, musing extensive ulcerations nnd I feared i 1 might reach and destroy ti e brain—the head swelled very- much, ncrompanird with violent pain, numerous external remedies were recommended, hut they did no good. About n year since I was taken severely ill with a swelling of the body front head to foot, so that 1 yens entirely helpless; the Doctor advised me to go to the Hospital, for he did not understand mv case ; for the I st le%v months I had been afflicted with a severe pain in both sides, nt limes so hard I rould scarcely gel my breath Attacking cough constantly annoyed me,and this combined with my other maladies, rend*red tne truly miserable. Such. gentlemen, hnd been my situation for seven years of mv life when I commenced the use of your Sarenparilla, but ns mv ease was considered I oprlcss, and the near prospect of a speedy dissolution seemed inevitable. I fp|t Inti little encouragement to persevere. The persuasion o r friends induced me to try your med icine, which in a few days produced a great change in my system generally, by causing an appetite, relieving the pains, arid giving me strength ; as success inspires - conn ‘ence, I was encouraged to persevere, my pains 1 grew easier, my strength returned, loud relished, the I ulcers healed, new flesh formed, nnd I once more felt within me that I might gel well I have now used the j Fnrsnpnrdln about two months and am now like n dis- I sere nt being. The arm that was to be amputated ! has entirely healed, a tiling that seemed impossible. I ran scarcely believe the evidence of mv ow n eyes, but such is the fact; nnd it is now as useful ns at any pe ! riod of my life, nnd my general health is better tlisQ i| has been lor years past. Health ; what magic in the word ! how mnnv thou sands have sought it in foreign lands nnd sunny climes, and have sought in vain ! Yet it came to me w hen { Imd given up to die, nnd as I feel the pulsations of health coursing through my veins, my whole heart and soul | go forth in fervent gratitude to ihe author of all oursurc mercies, llint he has (wen graciously pleased to bless 1 the means made use of. ! Trulv hnve you proved yoursf If the Good Samaritan to the afflicted, for next to my Creator my life is indebt ed to you (or rather) the use of your invaluable Sarsnpa rilln. The value of such a medicine is countless be yond price; money cannot pay for it. I have been raised from death, I ntny sav.for my friends and myself thought it impossible tlmi I could recover. And now, gentlemen, suffer me to add another proof eertified too. hv my friends nnd guardiuns as a just acknowledgment of the virtues of your health restoring Sarsaparilla.— That the afflicted mnv also use it nnd enjoy the bene fits it alone can confer, is the heartfelt, fervent wish of. their and your friend, MARTHA CONLIN.
