FelUxe-cUiztKt of the Stnate, and of ike Home of Reprttenlatint : Being suddenly called, in the midst of th lan cession of Congress, by a painful dispensation of Divine Providence, to the responsible station which I now hold, I contented myself with such -communication to the Legislature a the exigen ey of the moment seemed to require. The coun try ni shrouded In mourning for the loss of its venerated Chief Magistrate, and all heart were penetrated with grief. Neither the time nor the 'occasion appeared to require or to justify, on my part, any general expression of political opin 'iom. -or any announcement of the principle which would govern me in the discharge of the duties to till performance of which I had been so unexpectedly called. I trust, therefore, that it may not be deemed inappropriate, If I Mail my. vongrvs to male Known mv sentiments, in a gesneral manner, in regard to the policy which ought to be pursued by the Government, both 'its intercourse with foreign nations, and in its management and administration of internal af. fairs. I Nations, like individuals in a state of nature, are equal And independent, possessing certaiu rights, and owing certain dutie to each other arising from their necessary and unavoidable re lations; which right and dnties there it no com mon human authority to protect and enforce. Still, they are rights and duties, binding tn mor. nil, in conscience, and in honor, although there is no tribunal tn which an injured party can ep peal but the disinterested judgement of man kind, and ultimately the arbitrament of the sword. . Among the acknowledged right of nations is that, which each possesses of etablir,hing that form of government which it may deem most conducive to the happiness and prosperity of it own citiiens; of changing that form, as circunv stances may rcquirc;.nnd of.Jnauagiug it inter. rial affair according to it own will. Tb peo ple of the United State claim Ulia right for them selves, and they readily concede it to others. Hence it beoemes an imperative duty not to in. terfcre in the government or internal policy of other nations; and, although we may ympathUe witli the unfortunate or the -oppraMod, every where, in their atruggle fur freedom, our prin ciples forbid u from taking any part in such foreign contest. We make no wars to promote or to prevent successions to thrones; to maintain any theory of a balance of power, or to suppress the actual government which any country chooses to establish for itself. We instigate bo revolu- ' to be fitted out in the United State to invade the territory or province of a friendly nation. The ' great law of morality ought to have a national, a well as a personal and individual, application. WvacHJuia act toward other natkm a we wish them to act toward us; and justice and con- 3 science should form the rule of conduct between governments, instead of mere power, self-inter est, or th desire of aggrandixement. To main- tain a strict neutrality in foreign wars, to culti vate friendly relations, to reciprocate every no ble and generous act, and to perform punctually and scrupulously every treaty 'obligation these are the duties which we owe to other States, and by the performance of which we best entitle our selves to like treatment from them; or if that, in any ease, be refused, wecen enforce our own right with justice and a dear conscience. In onr domestic policy, the Constitution will be myjruide; and in questime of doubt, I shall Took fcr it interpretation to the judicial decisions of that tribunsl, which wa established to ex pound it, and to th usage of the Government, auctioned by the acquiescence) of the country. I regard all its provision a equally binding. In all it part it i the will of the people, ex pressed in the most solemn form, and th consti tuted authorities, are but agent to carry that will into effect Every power which it ha grant ed i to be exercised for the. public good; bat no pretence of utility, no honest conviction, even, of what might be expedient, can justify the at- fumption of any. power not granted. The pow r conferred upon the Government and their distribution to the several department, are a clearly expressed in that sacred instrument a the imperfection of human language will allow; and I deem it my firt duty, not to question it wisdom, add to its provisions, evade it require ment, or nullify it command. Upon you, fellow-cituen, a the representa tive of the State and the people, i wisely de volved the legislative power. I shall comply with my duty, in laying before you, from time to time, any information calculated to enable you to discharge your high and responsible trust, for the benefit of eur common constituent. My opinion will be fraakly expressed upon the leading subject of legislation: and if, which 1 as set anticipate, any act should pas the two Jtoos of Congre which abould appear to are unconstitutional, or aa encroachment oa the jut jiowere. of other department, or with provision nastily adopted, and likely tn produce eouse- iaenoe injeriou and miotWtV brink from th duty of returning it to you, with jny reason, for your further tXMuidemUoni Be yond the due performance of. the constitution ml obligation., both my respect for th legislator and my enM of propriety will restrain as from ny attempt to control or htanet your proceed ings With you i. th power, the honor, tad he re.ponibility of th legiaUtioa of th eoun- . " Goraramint of th lnitd Stales .a Hin . .... t ited Qoverncaeok It kf confined to th exercise of power xprealy granted, and such others as may be necessary for carrying tfcoee power in to elect; and it n at all timet" aa especial duty to guard againat any lofringment on the jut right of the State. Over th object and abjecta in trusted to Congress, it legUlativ authority is supreme. F ut here that authority cease, and every citisen who truly love the Constitution, and desire th continuance of its existence and it Meetings, will resolutely and firmly reist any inter ference in those domestic affairs which the Con stitution ha clearly and unequivocally left to the exclusive authority of the State. And ev ery such citiien will alto deprecate usele. irri tation among the several member of the l.'nbn, and all reproach and crimination tending to alienate one portion of the country from another. The beauty of our system of Government consists, and Jts safety and durability must consist, in avoiding mutual collision, and encroachment, and in the regular separate action of all, while each is revolving in it awn distinct orbit. The Constitution ha mad it the duty of the President to take eare that the law bo faithful ly executed. In a Government like ours, in which all law ar pasted by a majority of the representative of the people, and these repre sentative are chosen for such abort perioda, that any injurious or obnoxious law can very soon be repealed, it would appear unlikely that any great number should be found ready to re list the execution of the laws'. But it must b borne in miud that the country is extensive, that dering a law odious iu one part which is not so in another, and that the thoughtless and incon siderate, misled by their passions, or their imag inations, may be induced madly to resist uch laws' as they disapprove. Sueh person abould recollect that, without law, there can be no real practical liberty ; that, when law is trampled under foot, tyrriny rule, whether it appear in the form of a military despotism or of popular violence. The law i th only ure protection of the weak, and the only efficient restraint upon th trong. When impartially and faithfully ad ministered, none is- beneath He protection, and none above its control. You, gentlemen, and the country may be assured, that to the utmost of my ability, and to the extent of the power vested in me, I shall at all times, and in all pla ce, take care that the law be faithfully execu ted. In the ducharge of this dulv, solemnly imposed upon ni by the Constitution, and by my oath of offic, I shall shrink from no re sponsibility, and hll endeavor to meet event aa they may arise, with firmness, a well as with prudence and discretion. The appointing power is one of the most del icate with which the Executive is inverted. 1 regard it a a sacred trust, to be exercised with the sole view, of advancing the prosperity and happiness of,'the people. It shall be my effort to elevate the standard of official employment, by selecting for places of Importance Individuals fitted for tua pou to aluch they are assigned, by their known integrity, talent and virtue. In so extensive a country, with so great a popula tion, and where few persons appointed to office can be known to the appointing power, mistakes will sometimes unavoidably happen, and unfor tunate appointment be made, notwithstanding the greatest care. In such cases, uie power oi removal may be properly exercised ; and neg lect of duty or malfeasance in office will be nd more tolerated in individual appointed by myaelf than in those appointed by other. 1 am happyin being -able) ito'ay 4ht Mm. favorable change in our foreign relations has ta ken place jne th message at tle opening of the last session of Congress. o are at peace with all nations, and we enjoy in an eminent de gree the blessings of that peace, in a prosper ous and growing commerce, and in all the form of amicable national intercourse. The unexam pled growth of the country, the present amount of it population, and it ample means of self protection, assure for It th Respect of all na tion : while it is trusted that its character for. justice, and a regard to the right of other State, will cans that respect to De reauny anu color fully paid. A convention wa negotiated between the D nnited State and Great Britain, in April lait, for facilitating and protecting the construction of a ship canal between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, and for other purposes. Thi intru ment ha since been ratified by the contracting parties, the exchange of ratification ha been effected, and proclamation thereof ha been du ly male. In addition to the (tipuUtion contained in thi convention, two other object remain to be accomplished between the contracting power. .First, the designation and establishment of free port at each end of the canal. . Second, an igreement fixing the distance from th shore within which belligerent maratlme op eration shall not b carried on. On these point there is little doubt that the two government will come to an understanding. The company of citisen of the United State who have acquired from the State of Nicaragua the privilege of constructing ship canal be tween the two ocean, through the territory of that State, have made progress in their prelim inary arrangement. The treaty between th United State and Great Britain of the 19th of April hut, above referred to, being new ia ope ration, it i to be hoped that the guarantiee which it offer will be sufficient to aeenre th completion of the work with all practicable expe dition. It 1i bbvtoui that thi result' would K indefinitely postponed, if any other thaa peace ful measures, for the parposo of haraoaiBg conflicting claim to territory in that quarter, abould be adopted. wiH-wwequesUly .be jsy. the part of thi Government, . which may be re quisite for thi purpose, to be o eondoeved a to bring Uiem to aapeedy and successful close. Be unavoidable delay ha occurred, arising from distance and th difficulty of intercourse between this Government and thatef Nicaragua, but, a intelligence ha just been received of the appointment of an. Envoy Extraordinary aad Minister Plenipotentiary of that Government to reside at Wathiagtea, whoa arrival may aooa JOITI CiMLIJl-'Tiwtrful U tatellcctul, ami ui tjilftl mtutn, tki Ui. if SATURDAY be expected,' it ia hoped that no further impedi ment will be experienced ia th prompt trans action of business between the two Governments. Citisen of the United States hate underta ken the ouanexion of th two ocean by mean of a rail-road aero the Isthmu of Teh uan te pee, undeTgvant of th Mexican Government to a citiien of that Republic It i understood that a thorough survey of the course of th com munication ia in preparation, and there is every reason to expect that it will be prosecuted with characteristic energy, especially when that Gov ernment shall have consented to such stipula tion with the Government of the United States fas may b necessary to impart a feeling of e curitj to those who may embark their property in the enterprise. Negotiations are pending for the accomplishment of that object, and a hop i confidently entertained that, when the Government of Mexico shall become duly sensi ble of the advantages which that country can not fail to derive from the work, and learn that the Government of the United State desire that th right of overignty of Mexico in the isthmus shall remain unimpaired, the stipula tions referred to will be agreed to with alacrity, By the last advice from Mexico it would ap pear, however, that that Government entertain strung objections to loue of th itlputafloni which the paitie. concerned in the project :of I the rail-road deem necessary for their protection and ourity.- Further consideration it i to be hoped, or ..ton modification of term, may yot reconcile the differences existing between the .two Guvernmenta in.thiamipect. - Fresh instructions have recently been given to the Minuter of the United State in Mexico, who is prosecuting the subject with promptitude and ability. Although the negotiations with Portugal, for the payment of etaima of ciUxen of the pnited State against that Government, have not yet resulted in a formal trenty, yet a proposition made by the Government of Portugal for the It nal adjustment and payment of thoae claima has recently been accepted on the part of the United States. It gives me pleasure to y that Mr. Clay, to whom th negotiation on the part of the I'uited State, had been entrusted discharged the duties of his appointment with ability and discretion, acting always within the instructions of his Government. It is expected that a regular convention will be immediately negotiated for carrying the agree. ment between the two Government .. into eflect. The commissioner appointed under the act of Congresa for carrying into effect the convention with Brasil. of the 27th of January, 18, ha entered upon tb performance of the dutie im posed upon him by that act. It is hoped' that those duties way be completed within the time which it prescribes. The documents, however, which the Imperial Government, by th third article of the convention, stipulates to furnish the Government of the United ..Statej, hav not yet been received.. A tt it presumed that thoe document will be esential for the correct dis position of the claims, if may tecem necessary for Congress to extend the period limited for the duration of th commission. The um itipulat" edby the 4th article the convention to be paid to thi Oovernmentj has been received. The collection in the porta of the United of discriminating duties upon the veewls of Chi K and their cargoes has been suspended, pursu- an to ttbe provisions of the act of Congress of 24th of May. 1K28. It is to be hoped that this measure will impart a fresh impulse to the com. nietce between the two countries, which, of late, and especially since our acquisition ofTufirfrrriia;' has, to the mutual advantage of the parties, been much arguinented. ' Peruvian guano has become so desirable an article to the agricultural interest of the United States, that it is the duty of the Government to employ all the meant properly in 1t power for the purpose of causing that article to be imported ;nto the country at a reasonable price. Nothing will be omitted on my part towards accomplish ing thi desirable end. I am persuaded that in removing any restraints on thi tramo, tho Pe ruvian government will promote it own bet 'nterest, while it will afford a proof of a friendly disposition toward thi country, which will be duly appreciated. The treaty between the United States and Ui Majesty the King of the Hawaiian Island, which has recently bten made public, will, it ia believ ed, hare a beneficial effect upon the relation between the two countries. The relation between those part of the Island of St. Domingo, which were formerly colonies of Spain and France, respectively, are (till in an unsettled condition. The proximity of that island to the United 8tatos, and the delicate question involved in the existing controversy there, rendef it desirable that it should be permanently and speedily adjusted. The interest of humanity and of general commerce also demand thi t and, a intimation of the same entiment have been received from other Goernmenta, it I hoped that ome plan may oon be devieed to ef fect the object in a manner likely to give general satisfaction. Th Governmentof the United States wilt not fail, by th exercise of all proper friend ly office, to do alt in it power to put aa end to tb destructive war which haa riiged between the different part of the island, and to secure to them both the benefit of peace and commerce. I refer yon to the report of the Seeretarr of the Treasury tor a detailed etatemeat of tb fi nances. The total reeeips into tb Treasury, for th year ending 30th .of Jnne tost, were forty-eeven million ear hundred and twenty-oaa thousand sren hundred aad forty eight dollar and n'nety eent (t47,42U8,90.)

Aside from th permanent annual expendi ture, which have necessarily largely increased, apottiun of (lie public ;ht,(iuouotiu4 to eight million seventy-fiva thousand nine hundred and eighty-six dollars and fifly-nin cents ($?,07J, 9Si 59) must be provided for within the next two fiscal year. It is most desirable that the accruing demand should be met without resort ing to now loan. All experience boa demonstrated th wisdom and policy of raising a large portion of revenue, for the support of Government from dntie oa good imported. The power to lay" these du tie it unquestionable, and its chief object, of course, is to replenish the treasury. But if, in doing this, an incidental advantage may be gained by encouraging the industry of our own citisene. it is our duty to avail ourselves of that advan tage. , A duty laid upon an article which cannot b p'roduced in thi country uch as tea or coffee adds to the cost of th article, and, is chiefly ... ... . opon nkU wbkh u produced or wholly pau ty ui consumer. uu uu,j hero, stimulate the skill and industry of our own country to produce th same article, which brought into the market in competition With the foreign article, and the importer u tho eoiSpened 'to" 'reduce Kk'pKce""'ih"a'l;"',t' shich th domestic article can be told, thereby throwing a part of the duty upon the producer of the foreign article. The continuance of thi prows create th skill, and invite the capital, which dually env ble ns to produce, the article much cheaper than it could have been procured from abroad, there by benefiting both the producer and the con sumer at home. The consequence of tin is, that the artisan, and th agriculturist, are brought together, each afford a ready nierket for th produce of the other, the whole country become prosperou ; and the ability to pro duce every necessary of life render us indepen dent tn war a well a iu peace. A high tariff can never be permanent. It will cause dissatisfaction and will be changed. It exclude competition, and thereby invite the in vestment of capital in manufactures to sucn ex cess, that when changed it bring distrea, bank runtcy, and ruin, upon all who hav been muled b it faithless protection. What the manufac turer want, is uniformity and permanency, that "he may feel a eonfidouoa that he is not to be ruined bv sudden change. - But to make tariff uniform and permanent. It I not only necessary that the law should not be altered, but that the duty, should not fluctuate. To effect this, all utioa should be ipecifio, wherever th nature of the article i such as to admit of it.

I therefore atrong- ly reeomuiena a moaincauon oi mo -iff, Which ha prostrated some of our most im portant and necessary manufactures, and that specific duties be Imposed sufficient to raise the requisite revenue, making och discrimination in favor of the industrial pursuits of our own country M to eocwuv hoai production with out excluding foreign competition. It is also ini' oortant that an unfortunate provision in the present tariff, which impose a much higher duty upon th row material that enter into our manufacture than upon th manufactured ar ticle, ahould be remedied The paper accompany ing th report of tb See' retarv of th Treury will diacloa frauds attempt- jaLnjwn th revenue, in variety aad amount to great, to jnatif th conclusion thst it Is impos sible, under any system of ad valorem duties ls- vied aooa ths furtJta cost or value of th article to cur an honest observance and sa effectual administration of the Is ws. Tbefraudalent device to evd th law, which hav been detected by the vigilance of th ppraire, leave no room to doubt that similar imposition not discovered to a large amount, hav been successfully practised sine tb ii.ctment of the law now in force. This state of tilings has already had a prejudicial influence up on the engaged hi foreign commerce. It ha a tendency to drive th honest trader from lb. .Mi nes, of Importing, and to threw that important branch f employment Into the hand of neeerapu loo and dlsboMat ma, who are alike regardl. 0fl.1w.ndth obligation ofn th.
