1 have heretofore recommended amendments
of the Federal Constitution giving die elec

lo u tingle term. So important do 1 consider •sevvu'.n,
these cltanges in our fundamental law, that 1 Franklin,

as well in relation to these points ns to tlio I.aurcns,
may duem necessary for providing a force ad
equate to the complete protection of our fellow
citizens fishing and muling in those seas.
This rapid sketch of our feraiga iclntions it
is Imped, felimv-ritizcua, ma y be of some use
ill so much of your legislation as may hear on
ihut important subject; while il affords to the
country nt large a source of high gritifu-alion
in the contemplation of our political and coin-

justice and reciprocal good will, which are
binding ns well upon die Stales, as the indivi
dual* of whom they ure e.ompoaed.
I have great snligfiiclinn iii making this
Stutrmc nt of oor affairs, because the course of,
oor national policy enables nro to do it xvitli-
ou' nny indisc reet exposure of what in other
goreriiinoni* is only concealed from the peo
ple having none but n straight forward open
course to parsun—guided hy n src»!e princi

vaningn to other nations, and lay ouriclvcs

It may not bn improper to odd, that to pro-

on our morchnntn and navigators tho strictest
nbedieneo to lira laws of tho countries to which
they resort, and n course of conduct in their
dealings that may support the character of
vtir nation nnd render us respected abroad.
Connected with tins subject I must recom
mend a revisal of our consvlar laws. Defects
and omissions have been diav’overcd in their
operation that ought to he remedied and sup
plied. For your further information on this
subject, I have directed a report to he made

cipal nnd interest of die debt, during die y ear,
will cxcnoil sixteen million* and a bull'of dol

that object, out of the revenue, in nny year
since the enlargement of the sinking fund, ex

applied lo the public debt from die 4th nl
March, lf.29, to die first of January next,
which is less than three year* since ths sduun-
iff (ration I,ns been placed III my bauds, will
exceed forty millions of dollars.
From the large importations of the present
year it may be safely estimated that tho reve-
ruis which will be received into the Treasury
from thul source during llie next year, with the
nut of that received Irian tl>* i..,LI*e l«nd„, ,,.,11
