II ii composai af tree citizjna, who ar ev-
cr reidy to tak up arms iii ibo service of

fully confirms the opinion, "that such an
army may bj raised, up an a fow weeks' no
tics, and thai our citizen soldifrs are equal
to any troeps in the world, - No reason,
therefore, perceived, why we should en
larga uur land forces, and ihfreby subject

Sound policy rtqaires that. we. should a
void tha creation ot a targo-sianiilng army
in a period of peace. No public exigency
requires it. Suh armies are not only ex
peastve aod unnecessary, b.U my becoma
dangerous la liberty. "
Besides making the fieessary legislative
provisions for tha execution of ihe treaty,
a.nd the establishment wt ierritdriaUgovero-
meats in, ihe cedtd country, we have, "upon
the restoration, of pace other" imaertant
duties to perform, Among lh:sef4 regtrd
none us. more imp lrlam than the adoption
of proper 'measures for iha speedy extin
guishment of. the national debt. It. is a
gainst sound pt;cy and ftic genius of our
iustituiians, that a public debt, should be
permitted lo exist u day longer thin the
means of the treasury vtill euib'.o the gov
ernment to pay it off. .. .
We sh uld adhere to tha wise policy laid
down by President Washington, of "aoi
diog theaccumalation ot debt t. not only by
siiunning occasions wf expense, but by vig
orous e'xertioos in timauf peace lo (iisohirge
the debts which unavoidable wars 11a ve oc
casioned, not ungenerouy- throwing upon
posterity ihe burden we oarselvee ought to
boar." .." -
At the commencemont of the present ad
ministration, public debt amounted to
617,783,793 62; la consequence ot the
war with Mexico, it has been necessarily
increased, a,nd now amounts l $05,773r,
450 4l including ths stock 'and treasury
notes which may yet Tie issued uuder the

I cannet too strongly recommend to Con.
gress l!ie importahoe of husbanding all oir
nitlonal resources, of limiting; the public
expenditures to necessary objects, and of
applying all the surplus at auy time inthf

recommend that authority ba vested tin tha
I3xecui:ve by law to; anticipate the period
of reimbursement of such portion of iho
debt as may cot bf now redeemable, and
10 purchase it at par, or at the premium
.which it my command in the' market, in

been obtained by iheaverximeni oa much
