Among tho objects of groat national con cern, I cannot omit to pre-t again upon your atteiwmn that ptrt of the Constitution which rognl ites the electi m of l’resident and Vice President. The necessity fur its amendment is made so clear to tny mind by the observ ttiuu of its evils, .md by the many ablo discussions wh'u.b they have e Jicited on the tin >r of Congress anl else where, that I should ho warning to my duty were i to withhold another expression of inv deep solicitude* upon the subject. Our s/stem, fortnnately contempt s es a recur rence to fust principles; differing, in this respect, from all that have preceded it, and securing it, l trust etjually against the decay and tin commotions which have marked the progress of otoer Governments Our fellow ciiizniH, too, who, to propor tion to their love ol liberty, keep a steady eve upon the moans of sustaining it, do iwi_, require to he reminded ol tiio duty seiitial <ivi —“>"ns to remedy ail us system. While they are sensible tli ti’ev ery evil atiendum upon its operation ], not nocessarily indicative of a bad organiza tion, but may proceed from temporary causes, yet .he It tbitual presence, or even a single instance of evils which can he clear ly traced to an organic defect, will not, I trust, he overlooked through a too scru pulous voneralios for Iho work of their ancestors The Constitution was an ex porim?nt committed to the virtue end in telligence of tho greit miss of our country men, in whoso ranks the framers of it them selves were to perform the part of patriot ic observation ani scrutiny; and if they hive passed from the stage of existence with an increased confidence in its gener al adaptation to our condition, wo should learn from authority so high the duty of fortifying tile points in .1 which time proves to he exposed, rather than he deterred from approaching them bv the suggestions of tear, or too dictates o( misplaced rever ence A provision wfiich does not secure to tiio people a direct choice of (heir Chief Mi gistiale, but ins a tendency to defeat their will, presented to mv mind such an incon sistency with the general spirit of our insti tutions, that 1 was induced to suggest for your consideration tho substitute t> liicli ap peared to me at the same lituo the most likely to correct the evil & to meet the views of our consiituents The most ma ture reflection since, Ins added strergth to the beiisf that the best interest of our coun try require tho speedy adoption of some pi m calculated to effect this end. A con tingency which sometimes places it in the power of a single member of itie House of Representatives to decide an election of so high and solemn a dr wacter, is unjust to tho people, and becomos, when it occurs a source of omb m ismciit to the individual thus brought mto power, and a causa of dis gust of tho representative body. Liable as the confederacy is, from ji s great extent to parlies founded upon sectional interests, and to a corresponding multiplication of candidates for the Presidency, iho tenden « V of tho constitutional reference to die House of Representatives, is, to devolve the election upon that body in almost every* instance, and whatever choice may then hi made among the candidates thus presented to them, to swell tne influence of particular interests to a degree inconsistent with the general good. The consequences of this feature of thu Constitution appear far more threatening to the peace and integrity of the Union than any which lean conceive as likely to result from the simple legisla tive action ol the federal Government. It was a leading object with the (r imers ol the Constitution to keep a S separate as possible iho action of the Legislative and Executive brandies ot iho government.— To secure tins object. nothing more essen -1 i l l th in to pieserve tiio former from the temptations of private iuieicst and, tlicre t ire, so to direct the putr mage of the latter us not to purniit such temptations to be of fered. Experience abundantly demon wr ites tint every precaution in this resjiect is a valu ible safeguard ol liberty, and one " niv reflections ujion the tendencies <1 mr system incline me to think should be made still stronger, it was for this reason that, in connexion with an amendment of tiie Constitution, removing .ill intermediate agency in the choice of the President I recommended some restrictions upon the ie-eligibility o| that oflice , and upon the tenure of offices ganerdly. The .earnin' still ex. sts; and I renew the recommenda tion, w ith an ioc-oased confi lence tb it irs adoption will streng hen those checks by u’liioli the Constitution designed to secure ,/iu in tep ndcoce of each department 0 f he C .vernA’iit an ! protrnt? <-h ? ! lc ,!i{ f j and equitable a. aiaulr iiieo of an the trtiits which it his crested.

Tne pecuniary advantages which it promises to the Government aie tne lets! of its recommendations. It puts an and to all poss'ldo danger of coUission be iween iho authorities of tne General and State Governments on account ol the !u --diatis. It will place a dense anil civilized population in largo tracts of the country now occupied by u few savage hunters.— l»y opening the whole territory het-veen Tenness e on the north, and louisian t on the souih, to the settlement of ilia whites, it will incalculably strengthen the south western frontier, and render the a-'jaceui States strong enough to topel future inva sion without remote aid. It will iclieve the whole State of Mississippi, and the western ptrt of Alabama, of Indian occu paucy, an l enable those States to advance rapidly in papulation, wealth and power.— It will sepiraie the Indians from immediate contact with settlements of whites; Lee them so ptirsue'fittpp’iness in fiietr’'own"way and under their own rude institutions; will retard the progress of decay, which is les sening their numbers; and perhaps cause them gradually under the protection of tin- Government, and through the influence of good counsels, to cast off their sivage hab its, and become an interesting, civilised, an l Christian community. These conse quences, some of (hem so certain, and the rest so probable, mako the complete exe cution of the plan sunctioued by Congres, at their last session an object of much soh'- citu e. Toward the aborigines of the country no one can indulge a more friendly feeling than myself, or would !>o further in attemp ting to reclaim them from their wandering habits, and mike them a happy and pros* perous people. I hive endeavored to im press upon them my own solemn convictions of the duties and powers of the General Government in relation to the Stito au thorities For the justice of the laws pas sed by the Stales within the scope of their reserved powers, they are not responsible to this Government. As individuals, we may entertain and express our u|)iuions of their acts; hut, as a Government, we have as little right to cootrol them as wo have to prescribe laws toj'oreign nations. With a full understanding of the subject, lit” Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes It ive with great unanimity, determined to avail themselves of the liberal offers presented by the a. t of congress, and have agreed to remove beyond thu Mississippi river. Trea ties have been undo with them, which, in due season, will be submitted for consider ation. In negotiating these treaties, they were made to understand their true condi tion; and they have preferred maintaining iheir independence in the western treaties being probably the lust which will ever be made with them, are characterised by great liberality on the part of the Government. They give the Indians a liberal sum in con sideration of their removal, and comforta ble subsistence on their arrival at their new homes. It it be their real interest to main tain ,i sepirato existence, they will theie be it libony to do so without the inconveoien cies and vexations to which they would un avoidably have been subject in Alabama and Mississippi. Humanity has often wept over ihe fate of the aborigines of this county, and phi. lanthrophy has been long busily employed in devising means to avert it. U.it its j>ro gress lias never for a moment been arrested mil one by one have many powerful trilies disappeared from tho earth. To fellow to the tomb the last of his rice, and to tread on the graves of extinct nations, excites melancholy reflections. Cut tiue phi! m thropy reconciles the mind to these vieissj. tu les, as it does to the extinction ~f traces of an unknown people, spread over the ex tensive regions ol the west, we behold the memorials of a once powerful race, which was extermimted, or lias disappeared, to make room for the existing savage tribes. Nor is there any thing in this, which, upon a co nprehnn«ive view el the general inter « s*s of the human race, is to bn regretted. Philanthropy could not wish to see this con tinent restored to the condition in which it was found by out forefathers. Win g () ,j nan would prefer a country covered with forests an J ranged by a few thousand sava ges to our extensive republic, studded with cities, towns and prosperous farms; embel lished with all the improvements which art cm devise, or industry can. execute; occu nied by more than twelve millions of hap pv people, and filled with all the blessings of liberty,civilization, and religion.

The States, moreover, have a right to demand it. It was substantially a part ol the compact which made them members of our contedefacv; with Georgia there is an express contract; with the new States, an implied one, ol equ and obliga tion. Why, in authorizing Ohio, luoian i, Illinois. Missouri, Misstppi, iind A' ibauia, to form constitutions, and become separate states, did Congress include within their limits extensive tracts of Indian land-*, and, in some instances, powerful Indian tribes? Was ii not understood by both jiaities liiat the power of the Status was to hi-gouto tu - extensivo with their limits, and tint with all convenient despatcii the general gov eminent should extinguish the indian title, and remove every obstruction to the com plete jurisdiction of the state gc.vct tiuients over the soil? Probably not otto of titiisn St ties would have accepted a separate ex istence—-certainly it would never hive been granted by congress—had it been ttu derstoud that they were to be coidioedfor ever to those small portions oft heir nomi nal territory, iSio indian title to which had at the ti tie been extinguished. It is, therefore, a doty which this Gov ernment owes to the States, to extinguish,; as so m as possible, the Indian title to nil; lands which Congress themselves h ive in- ! eluded within their limits. When this i,! done, the duties of the general Government I in relation to the S ates,andindians within; their limits are at an end.

The supply of gold and silver, the general medium of exchange, has been greatly inUniupted by civil con vulsions in the countries from which they are jtrituijially drawn. A part of the ef fect, too’ is doubtless owing to an increase of operatives and improvements in mach inery. But, on the whole, it is question;.- hlo whether the ie<iii<*:on in the juice id lands, produce, and manufactures, has been groater ihau|ihe\ajipt eciation of (he st mcai J of value. While (he chief ohj ■ct of duties should he revenue, they may be so -..justed as to encourage inanufectures. In litis adjust ment, however, it is the duty of the Gov ernment to be guided by llie general good.
