means of defence. I refer you, also, to
his rcport for a full statement of the con
dition of the Indisn tribes within our ju
risdiction. The Executive has abated
no efibrt in carrying into efiect the well
establishcd policy of the Government,
which contemplates a rcmoval of all the
tribes residing within the limits of the
eeveral States, beyond the limils , and it
is now enablcd to congratulate the coun
try at the prospect of an early cousutna
lion of this object. Many of the tribes
havc already made grcat progress in the
atts of civilized life; and through the op
peralion of the schools established among
them, aided by the efiorts of the pions
inen of various rc'.igious denominations
wbo devote themselvcs to the tasfc of
their improvement we may fondly hope
that, the remains of the formidable tribc:
which wcre oncethemastersofthis coun
try will, in their transition from the sav
nge state to a condition of refincraent and
cultivalion, add another bright trophy to
sdorn the labors of a well-directed phil
anthropy. The accompanying report of the scc
rctaiy of the Navy will explain toyou thc
situation of that branch of the service.
Thc prescnt organization of the dcpart
ment imparts to its operations great effi
ciency. but I concur fuliy in the proprie
ty of a division of the Burcau of con
etruclion, oquipment and rcpairs into Iwo
Bureaux. The subjecls, as now arrang
cd, are incongruous, and rcquirc to a cer
tain extcnt, informalion and qualifications
altogclher dissimilar.
The operations of the squadron on the
coast of Africa havc been conductcd with
all due atleution to the objccts which Icd
to its organization : and I am happy to
say that the officcis and crcws have cn
joyed the best.possible health, uuder the
systcm adoptcd by the office r in command.
It is believed the Ifnited States is the on
ly nation nhich has, by its laws, subject
ed to the punishmcnt of death as piralcs,
those who may be engaged in the slavc
trade. A similar enactincnt an the part
of other nations, wouhl not fail to be at
tended with beneficial results.
In cnnscnucnce of thc difficulties that
havc exiated in the way ofsecuring tilles
for ihe necessaty grouiids, opcratiom
havc ucl yet been com:nenced towards
the establishment of the Nau-yatd at
Mernphis. So soon as the title is pcr
fected, no furthcr delay will be admittcd
to interf cnc. It is well worthy yoar con
oiderat'ron, whether Congrcss should not
direct the cstablis'.iment of a rope walk
in connectiim with the contcmplated Na
vy Yard, as a mcasure not only of econ
omy but as highly useful and ncccssary.
The only establishment of the sort now
cnunectcd with the service is localed at
Boston; and the advautagis of a similar
establishment, convcnient to the hemp
grouing rcTton, must be apparent to all.
The rcport of the Secretary presents
other tnattcis to your ro isideraticn, of an
important characler in connection with
the service.
In refcrring you to the accompanying
report of the Postmaster General, it affnrds
ine contmued grEtincation to be able to
ndveitto the facl, that tlie afTairs of the
Dcpirtment, for the last four years, have
been so ccndticted as, from its unaided
rcsourccs, to meet its large cxpendiiures.
On my coming into office, a debt of nearly
500,000 existed against the Depart
ment, which Congress discharged by an
npproprialion from the Treasury. The
Departmcut on the 4th of March next,
will be found, under the management of
the prescnt eflicient board, frce of debt or
cmbarrassment, which could only have
been done by the observanc and practice
of the greatest vigilance and economy.
The laws have contemplated thro'out that
the Department should be self sustained;
but it may become necessary, with the
wisest regard to pnblic intrest, to intro
duce amendments and alterations in the
systeni.
Thcre is a strong desire manifested in
many q'tarters, so to alter the tarift" of
leitcr postage as to reduce the amcunt of
tax at present imposed. Should such a
measure be carried into effect, to the full
extent dcsircd, it cannot well be doubted
but that for the first year of its operation
a diminished revenue would be collected,
the supply of which would necessatily
conitiiute a charge upon the Ireasury.
Whether snch a result would be desira
We, it will be for congress in its wisdom
to determine. It may in general be as-
erted, that radical alterations m anysys
tcm should rather be brought out gradu
a!Iy, than by sudden changes ; and by
pursuing this prudentpolicy in the reduc
tion of Ietter postage, the department may
itill sustain itself throucrh the revenue
which would accrue by the increase of
letteis. J he state and condition of the
public treasury has heietofore been such
it to have precludcd the recommcndalion
caa dono more than rccouimcuu w.c
general principles which should govern
in its cxecution.
I rcfer you to the rcport of tha secre
tary of war, for nn exhibition of the con
ditioa of the army; and rec.ommeiid to
you, as well north of your best consid
eration, many or thc iiiggestions it con
lanw. The Secretary in no dcgree cx-a-rcrates
the importance of pressing for
n'ard, wilhout delay, in the work of crcc
ling and finishing the fiirtifications to
whtcli he particularly alludes. Much
has been duiic towards placing our citics
and roadsteds iii a state of security a
gainst the hazards of hostile attack with
in the !ast four years ; but considcring
the new elements which havc been, of
late jeais, cmploycd in the propelling of
ehips, and thc fotmidable implemenls of
destructicn which bave been brought in
to service, we cannot be too actire or vi
gilcnt in preparing or protecting the
of any matcnal change. The difficulties J Iarged prosperity of the country, are des
npon this head have, howevcr, ceased, tined, at an early day, to receive the ap-
f.nft inrrrp aic.-rption is now lelt to tne

government.
I canuot too strongly urgothe policy ofau
thorizing thc establishment of a lioe ofsteam-
tnr the iransnortation of the mail. The cx-
amplc of the DriIih Government iswell wor- gratifying reflcction that, as my sole ob
thy of imitalion in this rcspect. The belief jecl thioughout has been to advance the
mcnuariSing from the transportation of mail
maticr to foreic couDtries, would operatc of
itself as an imlucemeut to cause individuals
to undertake that braucl. of thc task; andlhe

as war vcsscls when needed; aod would of
themselvcs conslilute a formiilahle force in
order to repel attacks from abroad. We
cannot be blind to thc fact.that other nations
have already added large numbers of steam
ships to their naval armaments, aud tbis new
and powerful agent is dcstincd to revolution
ize the condition ofthe world. It becomcs the
Unitcd States thercfore, lookin? to their se
curity, to adopt a similar policy; and the
plau suggestcd will ennlile them to do so at
a smali comparativc cost.
I take the greatest pleasure in beanng
icsumouj o luc auu u,umg .,,uuS-
ofthe members ofthe executive cabinet.
Each, in his appropriate sphcre, has ren.
dcred me thc most cfficieut aid in carry
ing on the government, and it will not I
trust, appcar out of place for me, to bear
this public testimonv. The cardinal ob-
jects which should cver be held in view
oy thosc cntrusted with tne administra
tion of public affairs, are rigidly, and
without favor or affection, so to interpret
the national will, cxpressed in the laws.
asthat injustice should be doncto none
justice to all. This has bccn the rule
upon which the)' havc acled ; and thus it
is believed that few cascs, if any, exist,
wherein our fellow citizens who from
time to time have been drawn to thc seat
of government for the settlement of their
transactions with the government, have
cone away dissatisficd. Where thetesti
mony has been perfccted, and was es
tccmed satisfactory,thcir claiins have been
promptly auditcd, and this in the absence
of all favoiitism or partiality. The govern
ment which is not just to ilsown people,
can neither claim thc:r affection nor the
rcspect of the world. At the same time
thc closcst attention has been paid to those
matters which rclate immediately to the
great conccrns ofthe country. Order and
elficiency in cach branch of thc public
service have prcvailed, accompanied hy
a system of thc most ngiu responsibiiily
on the part ofthe receiving and disburs-
ing agents Tlie tact, in tllustration ol
the truth of this remark, deservcs to be
noticed that the revenues ofthe govern
ment, amounting in the last 4 years to
upwards ofS 120,000,000, have been col
lected and disbursed, through the numer
ous government agents, without the loss,
by default, of any amount worthy of se
rious commentary.
Thc appropriations made by Concrcss
for thc improvement of the rivers ofthe west
and ofthe hnrhors on the lakes, arc in a
course of judicious cxpenditure under euita
blc agents, and arc dcstincd, it is to bc bopcd,
