As soon as our system shall be extended over this commerce, a revenue of considerable amount will be at once collected, and it is not doubted that it will be annually in creased. For these and other obvious rea sons, I deem it to be my duty earnestly to recommend the action of Congress on the subject at the present session. In organizing governments over these territories, fraught with such vast advan tages to every portion of our Union, I in sand seven hundred and ninety. nine dollars and sixty-two cents. In consequence of the war with Mexico it has been necessarily increased, and now amounts to sixty. rive millions seven hundred and seventy-eight thousand four him. dred and fifty dollars and forty-one cents, includ. ing tho slock and Treasury notes which may yet be issued under the act of January 23, 1847, and the sixteen million loan recently negotiated ; under tho act qf March 31, 184S. In addition o the amount of the debt, the treaty stipulates that twelve millions of dollars shall be paid Mexico, in four equal annual instalments of ithree millions each, the first of which will fall due on the 30th day of May, 1849. The treaty also stipulates that the Uni ted States shall "assume and pay" to our own citizens "the claims already liquidated and de cided against the Mexican republic," and " all claims not heretofore decided against the Mexi can Government, " " to an amount not exceed ing three and one-quarter millions. of dollars."

I cannot too strongly recommend to Congress tho importance of husbanding all our national i resources; of limiting the public expenditures j to necessary objects ; and of applying all the j surplus at any time in the Treasury to the re. demption ot the debt. I recommend that au thority be vested in the Executive, by law, to anticipate the period of reimbursement of such portion of the debt as may not be now redeem able, and to purchase it at par, or at the pre- , mium which it may command in the market, in all cases in which that authority has not alrea dy been granted. A premium has been ob tained by the Government on much the larger portion of the loans, and if, when the Govern tnent becomes a purchaser of its own stock, it shall command a premium in the market, it will be sound policy to pay it rather than to pay the semi-annual interest upon it. The interest up. on the debt, if the outstanding Treasury notes shall be funded, from the end of the last fiscal year until it shall fall due and be redeemable, will be very nearly equal to the piincipal, which must itself be 'ultimately paid. Without changing or modifying the present tariff of duties, so great has been the increase of our commerce under its benign operation, that tho revenue derived from that source and from the sales of the public lands will, it is confidently believed, enable the Government to discharge annually several millions of the debt, and at the same time possess the means of meet ing necessary appropriations for all other pro 1 per objects. Unless Congress shall authorize , largely increased expenditures for objects not of absolute necessity, the whole public debt existing before the Mexican war, and that crea ted during its continuance, may be paid off with out any increase, of taxation on the people long j before it will fall due. Upon lhe restoration of peace we should adopt ' a policy suited to a state of peace. In doing : this the earliest practicable payment of the pub ; lie debt should be,a cardinal principle of action. ' Profiting by the experience of the past, we should avoid the errors into which the country was betrayed shortly after the close of the war with Great Britain in 1815.
