the States and the people, for their own bene

of the foundation-principles of the political ed
ifice which they have reared, to preserve in a
measure which, in their mature judgements,
they had either repudiated or condemned.
The will of our constituent?, clearly expressed,
should be regarded as the light to guide our
foot-steps; the true difference between a mon
archical or aristocratical government and a
public being, that in the first, the will of the
few prevaila over the will of the many; while
in the last, the will of the many should be alone

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"re?arded. in consequence of ihe
small number of the rank and file ineacb com
pany and regiment, as little more than a nu
c!eus around which to rally the military force
of the countrv in case oi war, and yet its ser
vice in preserving the peace of the frontiers
are oi a most important nature, in ali cases
of emergency, the reliance of the country is
properly placed in the militia of the States,and
it may well deserve the consideration of Con
gress; wbether a new and more perfect or
ganization might not be introduced, looking
mamjy to the volunteer companies of the Un
ion for the present, and of easy -application to
the great body of the militia in Ltime of war.
The expenditures of the War Department
nave been considerably reduced in the last
two yearsjeontingenciesy however, may arise,
which would call for the filling up of the re
giments with a full complement of men, and
make - ft very desirable to remount the corps
of dragoons, which by an act of tne last Uon
cres was directed to be dissolved. ,
I refer you to the accompanying report of
tne secretary jor lmormauon in relation 10
the navy of the United States. -While eve
ry effort has been,and will continue to be made
to retrench all superfluities, and lop off all ex
crescences which from time to time may have
grown up,yet it pas not been regarded . a wise,
or prudent to recommend any material change
in annual appropriations. The interests which
are involved are of too important a character
to lead to the recommendation of any other
than a liberal policy. Adequate appropriations
ought to bo made, to enable the Executive to
fit out all the ships that are now, in a conrse
of building, or, that require repairs, for active
seivice in the shortest possible time, should
any emergency arise which may require it..
An eScient navy, -while it is the cheapest
means of public ' defence, , enlists in its sup
port . the leelinsfi of pride and I confidence,
which brilliant deeds and heroic valor, have
heretofore served to strengthen and confirm.
I refer you particularly to that pat of the
Secretary's 'report which has reference to
recent experiraefjts? in the application of
steara.Jand in the construction pt war steam
ersmade under the superintendence of 'dis
tinguished oScers of tbe navy. In addition to
other manifest improvements in the construc
tion -of the steam-engine, and application ol

appropriate to the uses of ships of war, : one of

time, beautiful machinery of our system o
government, it is pot a matter of surprise, that
some remote agency may have failed for an
instant to fulfil its desired office; but 1 feel con
fident in the assertion, that nothing haai occur
red to interrupt the harmonioos action of the
Government itself; and that while the laws
have been executed with efficiency and vigor,
the rights neither cf States nor of individuals
have been trampled on or disregarded.
In the meantime the country has been
steadily advancing in all that contributes to
national greatness. The tide of population
continues unbrokenly to flow into the new
States and territories, where a refuge is
found not only for our native-born felloe citi
zens, but for emigrants from all parts of the
civilized world.who come among us to partake
of the blessings of our free institutions, and to
aid by their labor to swell the current of our
wealth and power.
It is due to every consideration of public po
licy that the lakes and rivers of the West
should receive all such attention at the hands
of Congress as the Constitution will enable it
to bestow. Works in favorable and proper situ
ations on the lakes would be found to be as
indispensably necessary in case of war to car
ry on.safe and successful naval operations, as
fortifications on tbe Atlantic eea-board. The
appropriation made by the last Congress for
the improvement of the navigation of tho Mis
sissippi river,has been diligently and efficiently
applied.
I cannot close this communication, ' gentle
men, without recommending to your most
favorable consideration, the interests of this
District Appointed by theConstitution its ex
clusive legislators and forming inthis particular
the only anomaly in our srstem of government
that of the legislative body being elected by
others than those for whose 'advantage they
are to legislate-you will fee a superadded ob
ligation to look well into their condition, and
to leave no cause for complaint or regret. The
seat'of Government of our associated . Repub.
lies cannot but be regarded as worthy of our
parental care, i ; . ' ,
In connexion with its other interests, as well
as those of the whole country, I. recommend
that at your preent session you adopt such
measures, in order to carry in'.o effect the
Smithsonian bequest, as in your judgment
will be best calculated to consummate the lib
eral intent of the testator.

the arrest and iroorisonment of a subiect of
Great'Britain. who, acting fas it was alleged
as a part of a military force, had aided in the

the country, on the health and prosperity they
have enjoyed, since his last communication with
them, he proceeds to notice oar relations with
Foreign Powers, and shows with a few incon
siderable exceptions, that we are at peace and
amity with all nations. ; When, however, he
comes to refer to the despatches . which have
been . received from our . minister at Mexico,
and tbe correspondence which has recently oc
curred, between the Envoy of that Republic, at
Washington, and the Secretary of State, he
seems to forget his doll detail, and to be aroused
to a boldness of thought and strength of etyle
which promises, at its commencement, very
much; yet he permits, both thought and style to
be expended, in a warm saggestion, without
making any definite or tangible point. He,
surely is desirous for Congress, to take into
serious and practical consideration, the present
political relationship, between' Mexico and Tex
as, and their present and prospective relation
ship to the United States. :
And as this subject is one of vast importance
and one upon which Congress may presume. to
act at this session, we ask ths attention of our
readers to the examination of this question, in
all its features. No practical statesman will
attempt to legislate, on such a condition of
things, as his fancy might dictate; but rather to
consider circumstances, as ibey exist; and to
adopt his action to the modification of those cir
cumstances. We might for instance, imagine
Texas a large Territory, with a population and
resources sufficient for its own support and .de
fence as a 'nation; yet, if we will, for a moment
remember her locality ind the character of the
nations that surround her sad the capacity o
her soil to sustain, a permanent population, we
raust conclude, that notwithstanding her indo
mitable spirit may induce bar to sustain and
defend her institutions; her citizens must be tax
edto so great an amount to support and defend
fcer government, as to render them nought,-but
slaves. What avail is ihe name of Freedom
when it covers the most abject alaves. We wonld
ask, if it be possible, for Texas to enjoy a per.
manent peace, bordered as she is, by so exten
sive an Indian population? Who has forgotten
the anxiety, the war and treasure which, we
have suffered and expended In defending our
Own border UlMa 7ma lbt croHUs of ar
savage neighbors? Besides the Indians, the
Texiana have the Mexicans as their enemies,
and being themselves savage, will always be
engaged in instigating the Indians to outrages
upon the Texas population. , We will grant,
however, that tho most constant peace, and har
mony may be established between Texas, ' the
Indians and the Mexicans, and then we ask, if,
even, in a state of perfect peace, Texas can
support her government, her army, her navy,
and her ministers and officers in foreign nations,
without levying a tax upon her population, which
cannot be borne? If Texas could exist without
an array; without a navy; and without a ministry
aDroaa, she might, then sustain the? govern
ment, but otherwise,' we believe she can
not If she cannot, what is to be her future
history? If she cannot exist alone, she must
enter into an alliance with, or secure the pros
tection of, some other power. With whom can
she form an alliance? : Her neighbours are the
Indians; the Mexican government, and the U.
States. Can she make a favorable association
with either Mexico, or the U. States; if not, to
what power win she look for protection? What
government would undertake to sustain Texas,
under existing circumstances, . without a pros
pect and intention of obtaining possession of the
immense territory, which is now occupied by
Indians and Mexican, and which stretches out
to the California and Paeifio Coast? No nation
except England,: would think of such an enters
prise., would she undertake, were it the wish
of Texas? We think she would. Why" would
she? Because, she now owns territory, and has
a settlement on the Gulf of California,' nd
could she obtain a political existence in Texas,
she would, then be enabled to place one of her
colossal feet, in the mouth of the Eastern and
the other in the mouth of the Western Colorado;
the firstppening info the Gulf of Mexico, and
the latter into the Gulf of CaJifbrnia, and thus,
bestride the tmI in terrening territory, Eng
land could eommand these two pomtsi and ithe
contemplated canal across the Isthmus of Pa
naina, should ,evr t succesffully, executed.
then England; would be able to command the
should be added to this Union, after Florida; we
ask, whatjwill be the condition, and the relative
proportion of the slave and free population, in
the slave states, at the end of half a century?
If the States, above enumerated, should, in this
time become free states, and no new slave ter
ritory should be opened, for the reception of this
slave population, it must necessarily be crowded
into the now Southern States; the small farmers
will sell, and go to the new territories,-the con
sequence of this will be, that the Southern States,
will become a plantation country, with an im
mense slave end very small white population.
In 40 years, we have no doubt, from the pres
ent indications, there will be in the slave states,
at least four slaves to one free white person. If
this disproportion in slave and white population,
should take place as wo conceive it must inevi
tably do what resistance to England could we
make were she to possess herself of Texas,
with all the accruing advantages as above con
templated? Our Northern States are opposed
to this institution, and therefore would not wil
lingly afford us any aid. England could then,
attack us, on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts;
through Texas, and by the Lakes, and the wes
tern waters, from Canada. We ask, if against
so great in odds, with four slaves to one white
citizen at home as enemies, we could make,
anything like a successful resistance? It would
be impossible. Suppose.however, England should
take no interest in Texas,' and' she should be
con.e an integral portion of the Mexican Bepubi
lie, could she do so with the slave feature ofjier
government? If not, what would bo !our Condi
tion? -i Here is a fice territory, bordering," ths
West of Louisiana and the South of Arjcsnsus.
What will be tho consequence?; So. soon, as
Texas becomes a free territory, so soon will her
population, whether American ot Mexican be
come the warmest bpposers of slavery: because
they cannot successfully compete with the slave
population, in growing tho same product from
the soil, for the same market.' This will of ne
cessity, influence them, to induce "theslaves of
Louisiana and Arkansas," to be always passing
into theirJcountry where they - would be free.
This would be a source l unceasing broils, that
would assuredly eventuate in war 'between the
countries.. If, then, the protection of England,
or the union of Texas with Mexico, would be
attended with such an infinite prejudice to the
interest of our Republicwe are led to enquire
by what means, , these .unhappy influences may
be avoided; and whether any other arrangement
could be made, by which the permanent interest
of Texas, Mexico, and tbe United States can all
be effected? If there be any measure, which
would answer all these purposes, we would ask,
if that measure, be not the annexation of Texas
to the United States? The' great ' advantages,
which would result from such an association,
must be the preventing of any other power from
poaneaaing itself of this temtery;and thereby to
oommand the Gulf Trade of this valuable ter
ritory; to avoid the foreign interference ; with
the domestic institution of our country; and the
establishment of such a line of division, between
Mexico and the U. States, as might, prove satis
factory to that government, - and most conveni
ent to this country. By commencing at some
point, in tbe Bay of Santu Espiritc; and passing
np ine Aransaso itiver, that empties into tbat
Bay, to Meridian 22 West, and thence, running
North; crossing the River, San Antonio, Ga od
aloupe, Colorado and Brassos, and striking the
Red river near the line, between the Mexican
and United States'.' Territories, a large State
might be formed- which would include , most of
the population from tbe United ' States;' and
would furnish to this State, (Texas) a bordering
territory, which would be the home of Indians
and wandering Jexjcans alone, for several cen
turies to come. It' is 'impossible for our' slave
population to be kept from absconding and ob
taining their freedom, while a free white, or
Aiexican population, adjoins our territory; but
