5 4 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. (Concluded) An .appropriation of $100,000 having been made at the last session for the pur- chase 01 a suuaoie sue, anu lor tne erec tion, furnishing, and fitting up of an Asylum lor the Insane ol the llistnct ot Columbia, and or the Army and Navy of the uniteu states, ine proper measures . t r- - . a have been adopted, to carry this beneficent purpose into effect. By the latest advice's from the. Mexican Boundary Commission it 'appears'' that the survey of ' the " river' Gila," from its con fluence withthe Colorado to Us supposed intersection witjj the west ettr line ok New Mexiro,-. has. been comple.ted. - The sur vey ttf tho Rio Qrande tiasalso been finish ed from the point' agreed on by the Com missioners as "the point where it strikes the southern boundary of New 4Jexjc"..to iveVmi 1 he is V JL- propriaU'on ade a4. the last ssiorr dfc Congtwjgs for theonf tiot the survey is subject ia c t in.ua t. ioiwjtgprovi : rFrrarwsTia fr of this a ri propriation shall be used' or expended un til it shall be made satisfactorily to appear 10 me rreswent or the United States that the southern boundary of New Mexicois not established by the commissioner and , surveyor of the United States farther north of the town called 'Paso' than the same is laid down in DisturnellV map, which is added to the treaty. " My attention was drawn to this subject by a report from the Depaitment of the interior, which reviewed all the facts of the case, and submitted for my decision the question whether, under existing cir cumstances, any part of the appropriation could be lawfully used or expended for the further prosecution of the work. Af ter a careful consideration of the subject, 1 came to the conclusion that it could not, and so informed the head of that Depart ment. Orders were immediately issued by him to the commissioner and surveyor to make no further requisitions on the De partment, as they could not be paid ; and to discontinue all operations on the south ern line of New Mexico. But as the De partment had no exact information as to the amount of provisions and money which remained unexpended in the hands of the commissioner and surveyor, it was left discretionary with them to continue the survey down the Rio Grande as far as the means at their disposal would enable them, or at once to disband the Commission. A special messenger has since arrived from the officer in charge of the survey on the river, with information that the funds sub ject to his control were exhausted, and that the officers and others employed in the service were destitute alike of the means of prosecuting the work and of re turning to their homes. The object of the proviso was doubtless s 01 isew Mexico, .1 I in regar u to which different opinions have been ex pressed j for it is hardly to be supposed that there could be any objection to that part of the line which extends along the channel of the Rio Grande. But the terms of the law are so broad as to forbid the use of any part of the money for the prosecution of the work, or even for the payment, to the officers and agents, of the arrearages of pay which are justly due to them. I earnestly invite your prompt attention to this subject, and recommend a modifica tion of the terms of the proviso so as to enable the Department to use as much of the appropriation as will be necessiry to discharge the existing obligations of the Government, and to complete the survev of the Rio Grande to its mouth. It will also be proper to make further provision by law for the fulfillment of our treaty with Mexico for running and mark ing the residue of the boundary line be tween the two countries. Permit me to invite vour particular at tention to the interests of the District of Columbia, which are confided by the Constitution toyour peculiar care. Among the measures which seem to me of the greatest importance to its prosperi ty are the introduction of a copious supplv of water into the city of Washington, and the construction of suitable brules across the Potomac to replace those whTch were destroyed by high water in ihe early part of the present year At the last session ot Congress an ap propriation was made to defray the cost of the surveys necessary for determining the best means of affording an unfailing supply of good and wholesome water? Some progress has been made in the survey, and as soon as it is completed the result will be laid before you Further appropriations will also be ne cessary for grading and paving the streets and avenues, and enclosing and embel lishing the public grounds within the city of Washington. j commend all these objects, together with the charitable institutions of the District, to your favorable regard. Every effort has been made" to protect our frontier, and that of the adjoining Mexican States, from the Incursions of the Indian tribes. Of about 11,000 men of which the army is composed, nearly 8,000 are employed in the defence of the newly-acquired territory, ('including Tex as,; and of emigrants proceeding thereto I am gratified to say that these efforts have been unusually successful. With the exception of some partial outbreaks in California and Oregon, and occasional depredations on a portion of the Rio Grande, owing, it is believed, to the dis turbed state of that border region, the in rpads of the Indians have been effectually restrained. J Experience has shown, however, that whenever the two races are brought into contact, collisions will inevitably occur lo prevent these collisions J U S States have generally set apart portions a point on hundred, and thirtv fivWhiles beUiw Eagle Passwhicli -is '. jtoutjjfovff thd of tlte distawtjog the course of the river to itf.orftfi.-lt. v . - which WATn of their territory for the exclusive occupar tion of the Indian tribes. 'A difficulty' oc curs, however, in the application of this policv to Tests. By the terms ofth compact by which that State was admit te e bv which that State was admitted into the Union, she retained the ownership of all tho laranf lands within her limits. . The government of that State, it is under- stood, has assigned no portion of her ter ruory to the Indians; but as fast as her settlements advance lays it off into coun- ties, and proceeds to survey apcl sell it. This policy manifestly' tends, riot only to alarm and irritate the Indians, but to com pel them to resort to plunder for subsis tence. It also deprives litis Government of that influence And , control over them without which no durable peace can ever exist between them and the ivhites. I tiust, thereforethat a due regard for her own interests, apart from considerations of humanity and justice, will induce that State to assign a small porvon of her vast domain for the provisional occupancy of the -small remnants of trfbes within her boilers, subject of course , to her owner ship -and eventual jurisdiction. If she houlthfaiPtodo this, the. fulfilment of our -treaty slivUons with Mexico and our duty "Jd tbeyHlianr tWrnaeWesf wl, it fg fcaretf,befc3ne a subject of -serious em-f bafraswnenf to the Government. It is noped, however, that a timely and just provision by JL'exas may avert this evil. No appropriations for fortifications were made at the two last sessions of Congress. The cause of this omission is, probably, to be found in a growing belief that the system of fortifications adopted in 1816, and heretofore acted on, requires revision. The subject certainly deserves full and careful investigation; but it should not be delayed longer than can be avoided In the meantime there are certain works which have been commenced some of them nearly completed designed to pro tect our principal seaports from Boston to New Orleans, and a few other impor tant points. In regard to the necessity for these works, it is believed that littfe difference of opinion exists among military men. I therefore recommend that the appropriations necessary to prosecute them be made. 1 invite your attention to the remarks on this subject, and on others connected witli this Department, contained in the accompanying report of the Secretary of War. Measures have been taken to carry into effect the law of the last session making provision for the improvement of certain rivers and harbors, and it is believed that the arrangements made for that purpose will combine efficiency with economy. Owing chiefly to the advanced season when the act was passed, little has yet been done in regard to many of the works be yond making the necessary preparations. With respect to a few of the improve ments, the sums already appropriated will suffice to complete them, but must of them will require additional appropria i . tions, l trust that these annronriatinns 111 .1 - - . 1 I ticent policy, so auspiciously resumed, will be continued. Great care should be taken, however, to commence no work which is not of sufficient importance to the commerce of the country to be viewed as national in its character. But works which have been commenced should not be dis continued until completed, as otherwise the sums expended will, in most cases, be lost. The report from the Navy Department will inform you of the prosperous condition of the brancli of the public service com mitted to its charge. It presents to your consideration many topics and suggestions of which I ask your approval. It exhibits an unusual degree of activity in the opera tions of the Department during the past year. The preparations for the Japan ex pedition, to which I have already alluded; the arrangements made for the exploration and survey of the China Seas, the Nor thern Pacific, and Behring's Straits; the incipient measures taken towards a re conuoissancc of the continent of Africa eastward of Liberia; the preparation for an early examination of the tributaries of the River La Plata, which a recent decree of the provisional chief of the Argentine Confederation has opened to navigation; all these enterprises, and the means by which they are proposed to be accomplish ed, have commanded my full approbation; and I have no doubt will be productive of most useful results. Two officers of the navy were heretofore instructed to explore the whole extent of the Amazon river from the confines of Peru to its mouth. 3 The return of one of them has placed in the possession of the Government an interesting and valuable account of the character and resources of a country abounding in the materials of commerce, and which, if opened to the industry of the world, will prove an in exhaustible fund of wealth. The report of this exploration will be communicated to you as soon as it is completed. Among other subjects offered to your notice by the Secretary of the Navy, I select for special commendation, in view of its connexion with the interests of the navy, the plan submitted by him for the establishment of a permanent corps of sea men, and the suggestions he has presented for the reorganization of the Naval Aca demy. In reference to the first of these, 1 take occasion to say that I think it will greatly improve the efficiency of the service, and that I regard it as still more entitled to favor for the salutary influence it must exert upon the naval discipline, now greatly disturbed by the increasing spirit of insubordination, resulting from our present system. The plan .proposed for the organization of the seamen furnishes a judicious substitute for the law of Sep tember, 1850, abolishing corporal punish ment, and satisfactorily sustains the policy of that act, under conditions well adapted to maintain the authority of command and the order and security of our ships. It is believed that any change which proposes permanently to dispense with this mode of punishment, should be nrerp.lp.l hv . system of enlistment which aim II .,nnr system of enlistment which shall sunntv the navy with seamen of the most merito rious class, whose good deportment and; piiue 01 character may preclude ali o sinn mr a rpanri i ; c - . pcuaiucs 01 a liars1 or degrading nature. The' safety of dI: ...It... - r. . amp auu tier tiew is onen uepenuent u mmeaiaie ooeaience to a command, an me autnority to enforce it must be equall ready. The arrest of a refractor v in such moments, not only deprives th ship of indispensable aid. but imno : necessity for double service on other: whose fidelity to their duties maybe relieXftbat source of mischief and corruption, as upou in buco an emergency. rhe pvnnt sure to this increased and arduous lajfeorjy ainv-c ine passage Ul me act Or J tt50y ba alieadyhad, to a most observable jjn injurious extent, the effect of nreventin the enlistment of the best seamen fn ih' navy. The plan now suggested is design ed to promote a condition of service which this objection will no longer exist. The details ot this plan may be established in great part, if not al toother, hv ih Executive, under the authority of existinslniatter of their official action or duty laws: but I have thought it proper: in ac3" cordanctf with tne suggestion of the fecpiS tary,-cftlU Waj , ltfrDuIltrriaryci? appro 1 - - ' The establishment of a corps of appren tices for the navy, or boys to be enlisted until they become of age, and to be em ployed under such regulations as fhe Navy Department may devise, as proposed in the report, I cordially approve and commend to your consideration; atiJ I also concur in the suggestion that diis system for the early training of seamen may be most usefully engrafted upon the service of our merchant marine. ; The other proposition of the report to which I have referred the reorganiza tion of the Naval Academy I recommend to your attention as a project worth of your encouragement and support. Vhe valuable services already rendered by 'ihis institution entitle it to the continuance of your fostering care. ! Vour attention is respectfully called to the report of the Postmaster General for the detailed operation of his Department during the last fiscal year, from which it will be seen that the receipts from postages for that time were less by $ 1,431,696, than for the preceding fiscal year, being a decrease of about 23 per cent. This diminution is attributable to the reduction in the rates of postage made by the act of March 3, 1851, which reduction took effect at the commencement of the last fiscal year. Although in its operation during the last year the act referred to has not ful filled the predictions of its friends bj in creasing the correspondence of the country in proportion to the reduction of postage, I should nevertheless question the policy of returning to high rates. Experience warrants the expectation that as the com munity becomes accustomed to cheap pos tage, correspondence will increase. Jt is believed that from this cause, and from lion anu uusmess. the recemU uf fho Department must ultimately exceed its expenses, and that the country may safely rely upon the continuance of the present cheap rate of postage. In former messages I have, among other things, respectfully recommended to the consideration of Congress the propriety and necessity of further legislation for the protection and punishment of foreigh con suls residing in the United States; to revive with certain modifications the act of 10th March, 1838, to restrain unlawful military expeditions against the inhabi tants of conterminous States or territories; for the preservation and protection from mutilation or theft of the papers, records, and archives of the nation; for authorizing the surplus revenue to be applied to the payment of the public debt in advance of the time when it will become due; for the establishment of land offices for the sale of the public lands in Californ ia and the Territory of Oregon; for the construction of a road from the Mississippi valley to the Pacific ocean, for the establishment of a bureau of agriculture for the promo tion of that interest, perhaps the most important in the country; for the preven tion of frauds upon the Government in applications for pensions and bounty lands; for the establishment of a uniform fee bill, prescribing a specific compensation for every service required of clerks, district attorneys, and marshals; for authorizing an additional regiment of mounted men, for the defence of oui frontiers against the Indians, and for fulfilling our treaty stipu lations with Mexico to defend her citizens against the Indians "with equal diligence and energy as our own;" for determining the relative rank between the naval and civil officers in our public ships, and be tween the officers of the Army and Navy in the various grades of each, for reorgan izing the naval establishment by fixingthe number of officers in each grade, amf pro viding for a retired list upon reduced pay of those unfit for active duty; for prescrib ing and regulating punishments in the navy; for the appointment of a commission to revise the public statutes of the United States, by arranging them in order, sup plying deficiencies, correcting incongrui ties, simplifying their language, and re porting them to Congress for its final ac tion; and for the establishment of a com mission to adjudicate and settle privtae claims against the United States. I am not aware, however, that any of these subjects have been finally acted upon by Congress. Without repeating the rea sons for legislation on these subjects which have boen assigned in former messa ges, I respectfully recommend them a-ain to your favorable consideration I think it due to the several Executive Departments of this Government to bear testimony to the efficiency and integrity w ith which they are conducted. With all the careful superintendence which it is possible for the Heads of those Depart ments to exercise, still the due adminis tration and guardianship of the public mo ney roust very much depend on the vij- fnei. intelligence, and fidelity of the tburdinate officers and clerks, and es Aerially on those entrusted with the settle ent'and adjustment of claims and ac counts. 1 am graiineu 10 oeueye inai they have generally performed their duties faithfully anu wen. ,uej arc apiuiuicu to guard the approaches to the public Treasury, and they occupy positions that expose them to all the temptations and seductions which the cupidity of peculators and fraudulent claimants can prompt them to employ. It wil! be but a wise precau- lujn to protect the Government against far as it can be done, by the enactment of all proper legal penalties. The laws, in this respect, are supposed to be defective, and 1 therefore deem it my duty to call your attention to the subject, and to re commend that provision be made by law for the punishment not only of those who shall accept bribes, but also of these who shall either promise, give or offer to give to any of those officers or clerks a bribe or reward touching or relating to any It has been the uniform policy of this Government from its foundation to the pren t Jay to abstai n from all 'interf. er.ee in the- domestic anairs ot. other na tions. The consequence has been that while the nations of Europe have been engaged in desolating wars, our country has pursued its peaceful course to unex ampled prosperity and happiness. The wars in which we have been compelled to engage, in defence of the rights and honor of the country, have been fortunately of short duration. During the terrific contest of nation against nation, which succeeded the French revolution, we were enabled by the wisdom and firmness of President VVashington to maintain our neutrality. While other nations were drawn into this wide sweeping whirlpool, we sat quiet and unmoved upon our own shores. While the flower of their numerous armies was "vasted by disease or perished by hundreds of thousands upon the battle-field, the youth of this favored land were permitted to enjoy the blessings of peace beneath the paternal roof. While the States of Eu rope incurred enormous debts, under the burden of which their subjects still groan, and which must absorb no small part of the product of the honest industry of those countries for generations to come, the United States have once been enabled to exhibit the proud spectacle of a nation free from public debt; and, if permitted to pursue our prosperous way for a few years longer in peace, we may do the same again. But it is now said by some that this policy must be changed. Europe is no longer separated from us by a voyage of months, but steam navigation, has brought her within a few days' sail of our shores. We see more of her movements, and take a deeper interest in her controversies. Although no one proposes that we should join the fraternity of potentates who have for ages lavished the blood and treasure of their subjects in maintaining "the ba ought to interfere between contending sov ereigns and their subjects, for the purpose of overthrow ing the monarchies of Europe and establishing in their place republican institutions. It is alleged that we have heretofore pursued a different course from a sense of our weakness, but that now our conscious strength dictates a change of policy, and that it i consequently our duty to mingle in these contests and aid those who are struggling for liberty. This is a most seductive but dangerous appeal to the generous sympathies of free men. Enjoying as we do the blessings of a free government, there is no man who has an American heart that would not re joice to see these blessings extended to all other nations. We cannot witness the struSo'e between the oppressed and his oppressor anywhere without the deepest sympathy for the former, and the most anxious desire for his triumph. Never theless, is it prudent oris it wise to involve ourselves in these foreign wars! Is it in deed true that we have heretofore refrain ed from doing so merely from the degra ding motive of a concious weakness? For the honor of the patriots who have gone before us, I cannot admit it. Men of the Revolution who drew the sword against the oppressions of the mother country, and pledged to Heaven "their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor" to main tain their freedom, could never have been actuated by so unworthy a motive. They knew no weakness or fear where right or duty pointed the way, and it is a libel upon their fair fame for us, while we enjoy the blessings for which they so nobly fought and bled, to insinuate it. The truth is that the course which they pursued was dictated by a stern sense of international justice, by a statesmanlike prudence and t - - . iar-seeing wisuom, looking nor merely to the present necessities but to the perma nent safety and interest of the country. They knew that the world is governed less by sympathy than by reason and force; that it was not possible for this na tion to become a "propagandist" of free principles without arraying against it the combined powers of Europe; and that the result was more likely to be the overthrow of republican liberty here than its estab lishment there. History has been written in vain for those who can doubt this. France had no sooner established a re publican form of government than she manifested a desire to force its blessings on all the world. Her own historian in forms us that hearing of some petty acts of tyranny in a neighboring principality, 'The National Convention declared that she would afford succor and fraternity to all nations who wished to recover their lib erty, and she gave it in charge to the ex ecutive power to give orders to the gener als of the French armies to aid all citizens who might have been or should be oppres sed in the cause of liberty." Here was the false step which led to her subsequent misfortunes. She soon found herself in volved in war with all the rest of Europe. In less than ten years her government was changed from a repablic to an empire; and finally, after sheding rivers of blood, foreign powers restored her exiled dynasty and exhausted Europe sought peace and repose in the unquestioned ascendancy of monarchial principles. " .Let us learn wis dom from her example. Let us remember that revolutions do not always establish freedom. Our own free institutions were not the offspring of our Revolution They existed before. They were planted in the free charters of self-government under which the English colonies grew up, and our Revolution only freed us from the do-, minion of foreign power, 7 whose govern ment was at variance with these institu tions. But European nations have bad no such training for self-government, and every effort to establish it by bloody, revo lutions has been, and must, without that preparation, continue to be a failure. Liberty, unregulated by law, degenerates into anarchy, which soon becomes the most horrid -of all despotisms. Our pol icy is wisely to govern ourselves, and thereby to set such an e xample of national justice, prosperity, aud true glory, as shall teach to all nations the blessings of self government, and the unparalleled enter prise and success of a free people. We J Lve in an age of p-jngressand ours is emphatically a coUtUry oT progress. Within the last half-centary the number of States in this Union has .nearly doubled, the populatiou has almost quadrupled, and our boundaries have been extended from the Mississippi to the Pacific Our terri tory is chequered over with railroads, and furrowed with canals. The inventive tal ent of our country is excited to the highest pitch, and the numerous applicants for patents for valuable improvements distin guish this age and this people from all others. The genius of one American has enabled our commerce to move against wind and tide, and that of another has an nihilated distance in the transmission of intelligence. The whole country is full of enterprise. Our common schools are di f using intelligence among the people, aud our industry is fast accumulating the com forts and luxuries of life. This is in part owing to our peculiar position, to our fer tile soil, and comparatively sparse popula tion; but much is also owing to the popu lar institutions under which we live, to the freedom which every man feels to en gage in any useful pursuit, according to his taste or inclination, and to the entire confidence that his person and property will be protected by the laws But what ever may be the cause of this unparalleled growth in population, intelligence, and wealth, one thing is clear, that the Govern ment must keep pace with the progress of the people. It must participate in their spirit of enterprise, and while it exacts obedience to the laws, vnd restrains all unauthorized invasions of the rights of neighboring States, it should foster and protect home industry, and lend its pow erful strength to the improvement of such means of intercommunication as are necessary to promote our internal com merce and strengthen the tics which bind It is not strange, however much it may be regretted, that such an exuberance of enterprise should cause some individuals to mistake change for progress, and the invasion of the rights ol others for nation al prowess and glory. The former are constantly agitating for 'some change in the organic law, or urging new and untried theories of human rights. The latter are ever ready to engage in any wild crusade against a neighboring people, regardless of the justice of the enterprise, and without looking at the fatal consequences to our selves and to the cause of popular govern ment. Such expeditions, however are often stimulated by mercenary individuals who expect to share the plunder or profit of the enterprise without exposing them selves to danger, and led on by some irre sponsible foreigner, who abuses the hospi tality of our own Government by seducting the young and ignorant to join in his scheme of personal ambition or revenge, under the false and delusive pretence of extending the area of freedom. These reprehensible aggressions but retard the true progress of our nation and tarnish its fair fame. They should, therefore, re ceive the indignant frowns of every good citizen who sincerly loves his country and takes a pride in its prosperity and honor. Our constitution, though not perfect, is doubtless the best that ever was formed. Therefore let every proposition to change it be well weighed, and if found beneficial cautiously adopted. Every patriot will rejoice to see its authority so exerted as to advance the prosperity and honor of the nation, while he will watch with jealousy any attempt to mutilate this character of our liberties, or pervert its powers to acts of aggression or injustice. .Thus shall conversatism and progress blend their har monious action in preserving the form and spirit of the Constitution and at the same time carry forward the great improvements of the country with a rapidity and energy which freemen only can display. In closing this, my last annual commu nication, permit me, fellow citizens, to congratulate you on the prosperous con dition of our beloved country. Abroad its relations with all foreign powers are friend ly; its rights are respected, and its high place in the family of nations cheerfully recognised. " At home we enjoy an amount of happiness, public and private, which has probably never fallen to the lot of any oth er people. Besides affording to our own citizens a degree of prosperity, of which on so large a scale I know of no other in stance, our country is annually affording a refuge and a home to multitudes, alto gether without example,"from the Old World. We owe these blessings, under Heaven to the happy Constitution and Government which were bequeathed to us by our far thers, and which it is our sacred duty to transmit in all their integrity to our chil dren. We must all consider it a great distinction and privilege to have been cho sen by the people to bear a part in the ad ministration of such a Government.
