PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. DEC. 4, 1838. Genlitmen of th, Senate . ud of She House ofRepresenteires : I congratulate you on tile favorable cireumta-n. be in the aondition of our country, under which yaou rassembhle for the porformanee of your ofi. nlal duties. Thongh the antlioipations of an abun. dlent harvest have not every where been realised, yet, on the whole, tihe labors of the husbhndmnn me rewarded with a bountiful return; industry prospers in its various channels of business and en. terprise; general health again prevails through our vast diversity of climate; nothing threatens from abroad, the ontinuoance of external peace; nor has any thing at homoe impairel the strength of tholas faternal and domestie ties which constitute the only guarranty to the suoceso and permanency of our happy Union, and which, formed in the hour of peril, have hitherto been honorably sustained through every vicissitude in our national laffairs. These blessings, which evince thecore and benefi. oenece of Providence, call for our devout and fervent gratitude. We have not less reason to be grateful for other bounties, bestowedby the same munificent hand, aud more etclusively-our own. The presnt year cloees the first half centutry of nea Ideral inssltniions; tnd our eystem-differing from all others in the sokeowleged, practical, and ualimited operation which it has for so long a pe. ried given to the sovereignty of the people--:s new been filly tested by experience. The constitution devised by our forefathers as the framework and hbond of that system, then un tried, has beonme a settled form of government; notonly preserving and protecting the great pris. eiples upon which it was founded, but wonderfully promoting individual happiness and private inter. eats. Though subject to change and entire revo. eation, whenever deemed inadequate to all these purpses, yet such in the wisdom of its construction, and so stable has been the public sentiment that it remains unaltered, except in matters of detail, com. paratively unimportaut.' It has proved amply sof. ficient for the various emergenctes incident to our condition as a nation. A formidable foreign war, agitating collisions between domesntic, and, in some respects, rival sovereignties; temptations to interfere in the intestine counmotions of neigl. horint countries; the dangerous ifllafncces that arise in periods of excessive prosperity; andi the anti.republicnn tendoencieo of associated woalth these, with other trials not less fuormida' lo, have all been encountered, andl thus far successfully resista ed. It wasrneservedl for the American Union to lest theis advantages of a Gverrtnlent dep.endent on the eontinrtl exercise of Ihe pOp)lar will, anid our experience has shown it as beneficent in proclice as it is just in theory. Each succerssive change made in our Ilcal inetirulionl has cntrietred ato extend the right ofnfeurage, has incrensed lie di reet inluence of hthe clmomunilty, given greoter freedom to individuol xorrlion, and restrictedl, more and more, the pow r e f _revrrnmcnt; yet the intelligenes, prudence andil patrielis, of tie rieople have khpt pace iih this nonrmented res:onsiblhiy. In ni country has edcarlinn beern so wideIly 'diffused. Diwmetie peace has nowhere so targely reigned. The close bondls f" social inlrcntrr-e have ill no inbtance preeailedl with ilwh hnrmny over a space so vnst.

This importRnnt change has been afflcted by c.ucrilialtry nro'iatiors,e, that have resulted inl tho con.r;luiun Iof a treaty between thetwoGuovernellnts, which, when rarrlid will refer to the arbitrament of a friendly power all the subjeces of ronr, versy etrrwer n us growring out o injuris a loldividualy. Therel is, at presenr, nlsI reason to believe Ihat an equ;table settlement of all disrparled pin's will he attained wilthout fur telr difficul)y or unnecessrar delay, and thus aulhorize the free reoenl plion ' f diplomasc inter Courae with our sister Replublic.

TIhe limited influenoce of national bank in averting derangeomnt in the exchanges of tIe country, or in compelling the re.. um ption of speoie payments, is now not less op. parent than its tendency to increase inordinate epelation by nsudlden expansions aid controctions; its disposition to create panic and omharrassment for the promotion of its own desaigts; its interfer ence witt politics; and its far greater power for evihthan for good, eitter in regard to the local in. slithtion or tile operations of Government itself. What was in tIera respects buit apprehension or opinion when a ndtionnl bank was first establi.led, now standh confirmed by humiliating expcriotmee. The scenes through which we have passed prove how little our cornmmerce, agrieltire,l monu. factures, or financet, reqirot such n institution, and what dangers are attendant on its power--a power, I trust, never to be conferred by the Amrni. can peopleo pon their Goverlnment, and still less upon individuals not responsible to them for its an. avoidable abuses. My co viction of the necessity of further legis. lative proceedings for tIhe safe keeping nod die. hurermenat st the public moneys, and my opinion in regard to the measures best adapted to the ecceotm pliah tdent h of le bjects, have boon already sub. mirttd to you. These lare boeS strengthened by recent events; and, it the full conviction that timoe ane experieoce must still further demonstrate their propriety, I I.ol it my duty. with respectful defer. once to the conflicting views of others, age n to invite youir attention to them. With the oexeption of imrited srms depoeiera in the few banks still employed under the nat of 1836, tih amount received fbr dtirl e, and. with very in eonlidereblo exceptions. tIlose accruing from lndcl also, hae, sintce the general suspension of spI:cin paymtmenis by the deposito banks, been kept and disbursed by the Treasurer, under his leoal powers, subjm.ct to the superintendence of the Senretary of the Trensury. The pro priety of defining more spa cifieally and of regulating by law, htme noercine of this wide scope of Executive discretion, has boeen already submitted to by Congress. A change in the office of collector at one of our principal ports, has brought to light a mIn falcation of tie gravest charactor, the particulars of whichl will obe lai ofore you in a special report from tshe sreltary of the Treasury. By Ihis report and tlto aceompanying documents, it will be seen thlat the weekly returns of the defaulting officer apparently exhibited, throughout, a fai hful administration of the affair entrusted to his management. It, how. ever, now appoars that he commenced abstracting the public moneys shortly after his appointment, and contiened to do so, progressively increasing the amount, forhe tIe term of more tItan soven years, embracirg a portion of the period during whieh thie public moneys were deposited in the Bank of the Unit d States; the whole of time state bank deposite syater, and concluding only.on his re tiresmant from office, after that s.ytsm had sub stantially failed, in consequonce of the suspension of specie payments. The way t which Ihis defalcation was sn lung snnieserl, and tie steps taken to indemnify the United Srtatese as far as practicable, cealant lIss, will cIto he presented to you,. The case is one which impenraively claims the attlention of Can. grres, end furnishesa the slro.est tr liva for hile s tbiliihment of a more srvere and more secure , srtem forthe safe keeping and diebursement of the ptblic moneys tham ary that has Iheretofore existedt. Jexisne[. It seems proper at all events that by an early Snaotment, similar to that of other contries, the appllcalion or public money by an oft.er of o.o vernment to pirvate uses llould be made a felony, and visired with severe and ignominious punish monnr. This is already in effect. the law in respec to the nillor, and has been prodective of the m et salutary rensolt. Wharever system is adopted, such an enactment would be wise as an indepen. dlent measure, since much of the public moneys must, in their colleetion and ultimate disburse ment, pass twice through the hands of publie fC feers, in whatever manner they are intermediately kept. The government, it ntust be adlmttted, has rbeen, from its commencement, compatratively ftr tunate in this respect. But the sppolintng powes cannot always be well advised in its selections, & the experience of almost every coun'ry has sh nwr that public omicers are not at all tiuen pro1 ngoinst temptation. It is a duty, therefore,t whicl the govetllnment owes aS well to the interesls cam mnited to its care as to the officers thelteselves ne yepronvide nginst transgreasions of thittl r'halnree-, ha is con'sistent rithli reason and hurntnntry.

Yeaou will in your wisdom deltermine upon the propriety of adopting such n plan, and pon the measure netcessary to its eff.ectu1 l execu tie.n. When the late Bauk of the United States was incorporated, and made the depository lo public moneys, a right was reserved to Congress to :nepeet, at its pleasure, by a colmmliltee o thot bIody, the b moks and the proceedings of the boan. in one of the States, whose banking institutions Iare supposcd to rank amongst the first in point of srnbility, they are subjected to constant exanmlna. tito by comnmissioners appointed for tiht purposet and much of the success of its banking system Is ltrlabutd to this watchful supervlsien. Tile salne c ,urse Ihes also been adopted by an adjoinini State tanorbly known for the core it has bestowed upton whatever relates to its financial concerns. I aub mit to youarconsidcraton whether a comnmittee of Congress might not he profitably employed in in specting, at esac intervals no might he derme'd proper,the affrirs and accounts ofofliersentrursted ,Vwih the custody of public monoey, Th e frequent performonee of this duty mighti he made obhltgaory on the committee in respect to to these olffi.ers who have large umts in their possession, cnd let disetretiotalry io respect to 'thers. "T'hey might report to the execative such defalcations as were found to exist, with a view to a prompt removnal from olliee unb.us the default was atlisfactorily accounted for: and report also to Congress at the commencement of each erasion, the result of their i examinations and proeeedings.

"'l.th tit should have iven riso t, great div, raity lof piion cannot be suhIbj,,t ofI surpri.e. After the collection nod encsdy of the puhlic moneys has been ier so many years inace enneted Hitlt, andt rntn(h, subsidiary tou tile ad. vaencement of private interests. a return nto the sin. pie and self.denyingt ordinane.s of theo enntitruion could nor but be difiuelt. But time and free dis casionn a hetling rhe sentimtars of the people, and aided by that conciliatory spirit which has ever cIharaclerleed their course on great emergeneci , were relied opon for a mrisfactory settlement of the queetion. Already has thisanticipaton on one important point at least-the impropriety of divert. ikg the public money to private purpnos--been ful ly realized. There is no reason to suppose that the legislation upon that branch of the subject awuld now be embarrassed by a difference of opin i n, or fail to receive the cordial support of a large majority of our consOtituents-The connectioh which foIrmerly existed between thle Government and banks wae in reality injurious to both, as well as to the general interests of the community at lorge. It aggravated the disasarrs of trade and the derangemenlsa of rcial interialintrcourse, and ad ministered new excitement and additional menns t,, Vill, and reckless specula Ions, the disapoint mrents of which threw the country intto convn. sIons of panic, and but all produced violene and lloodshed. The imp'udent expansion of baok credits, which was the natural result of Ite cotm 'iiand of the revennea of the State, furnished the resourcera or unbounded license an every species of adventure, seduced indusrry from its regular and Salutary oecupltrious by the hope of abundance without labor, and deranged the social state by tompting all trades snd professions into the vortex of speculation on remote contingencies. The some wide spreadling influence impeded al ,othe resources of the (Government, curta led its u'settl operatio-m rriassed t[le fulfilment ol its oblig.,tions, and seriously interfered with the ,-erutolonofthe laws. Large appropriattons and opppreive taxee ore te natural eonsequcnces tf uch a connneclon, since they increase the profits of those who are allowed the use of the public Cunds, and make it their interest that money should he accumulated and expenditures maltipled.

The measoeures nothor zed by Congress at its last session rwith a view It the long standing i eontroversy with them, have. had the hl.ppiest ef. flets. By an aogreement concluded with therr by the commanding general in that country, who has I performed thie duties asoigned to him on the occa: Ision with commendable eerevgy a.nd humanity. their removal has been principally ulder the conduct of their own chiefos, and they have emigrated without ally apparent re'ictance. Thle sureeossful ocomnplishmrnant ofthi iomp rtant Sobject; the removal, also, ofthie enltire (C:lreek atio,l with tile exc'ptinr of a small no.lel r of fugitivero amongst the S.rominolca in Florita; the progress al. ready made towards a speedy completion of the removal of the Chicksnaws, the Choctaws, the Pottawatomies, the Otawas, and the Chippenas with the extensive purcehase of Itndian lands dur. ing tthe prresent year, have rendered the speety and sncesefult result of the long estahlished policy of the Government upon the subject of Indian affairs entirely certain. The occasion is, therefore, deem ed a proper one to plane this policy in asuch a point of view as will exonerate the Government of the United Staten from the unaleserved reproach which has been cast upon it through several successive admrnistrations.

The remedial policy, the principles of which were settled more than thirry years ago, under the admirinilraotinr of Mr..-et-.,tim, consists in an cxtinetionr, for a fair consideration. of the title to all the lanIds still o'eupied by the indiansr within the States and Territories of the United States, their remor al to a country west of the Mts. sissippi, Inuch more extensive, and better adrapted to their condition than that on which they then re. aided; the gnarr.rtte to them, by the Urnited Stales, of their ext hIsivr p,)se i.in of1" that country forev er, exempt from all intrusionrs by white men, withn ample provision for their-ecurity gaiusl oexternal violence rand internal diaensaions, and thie extension to them of suitable facilities fLr their advanern-ent in civihzation. This has not been the policy of particular administrations only, but of each in suc cession since the first attempt to carry it out under that of Mr. Monroe. All Ihave labored for its eeecomplishmnent, only with different degreea of success Tre manner of its execution has, it i. true, from time to time given rise to eOllliCrts of opinion and unjust imrputation; bat n respect to tile widomn anlid Ileeaeity of the pIliny triclf th',re has not, ftroi Ithe hberrlinnugl ealltedl ad rubt in th cid of any btin, jtdieioua , dieinterested friend of the Indian raeo, neeustolmed to reflection and en- I lightened by cxperience. t)ceupvirg the ddlihlhe hltrne'er f con trrctor on its own accmount, and guardtlian fr the p:rtIes non tracted with,it was hardily to be expected tihat tihe deoalings of tir Federal Government with thIe lI-I dtman trl. rrwould ecape misrepre.rtetrution.

No such IfnProces cn, hIowever, be justly charged upon this Goverlnment since it bucamo free to pursue its own course. Its oealings with toe Ildian tribes have been just and friendly throughouto; its efforts for their civilization constant, and dir, clted by the beost feelings of humanity; its watchfulness in pro tecting them from individital frauds unremittirng; Its forbearance under tile keenesto provocations, tiets deepest injuries, and the most flagrant outrages, may cltalleloge at least a comparison with any na. tiron, ancirnt or mnodurn, in similar circumstances; and if in future times a powerful, civilized, and happy nation of Indians shall be found to exist within the limits of this northern continent, it will i owing to the colmsummtion of that policy whioh has been so unjustly assailed.

Experience has shown that but little is to be njined by the march of armies through a country so intersected with inacenesible swamps and marsh. oes, and which, from the fatal and mortal charac. ter of the climate, must be abandoned at the end of the winter. I recommend, therefore, to your attention the plan submitted by the Secretary of War, in the accompanying report, for the perma. neat occupation of the portion of the territory freed from the Indians, and the more efficient pro. tection of the people of Florida from their inhu. man wrfarre. From the report of the S ecretary of the Navy, her'ewith transmitted, it will appear that a large portion of the dispovable naval tfree is either ae tively employed or in a state of preparation for the purposes of experienlce and dlerip'ine, and the protection ofOur eommerce. So elfectual Inlsbeen this protection, that, so thr as the inrlbrmation of government extends, not a single oetlat, e has been attempted on a vessel carrying thle flr of the United States, within the pireosnt year, in any q torter, however distant or exiosed. Thnexplorint expedition sailed frnm Norfolk on the 1I 9t of Aong. t last, and information his been reeived of its tfo arrival aT t It0 island at Madeira. The hb:st spirit .nimanl s 'e Oficeers and crows, and there is evero reason to antir ipate, frto its efforts, results beneficial to cotmat rc and nonorable to the nation. It will also h. seen thalt no reduction of the force now in commission is contemplated. The onsettlod state of a portion of South America ren ders it indisponsablo that our commerce should re. caive protection in that q'artor; the vast and in. creasing interests embarked in the trade of the In. dian and China seas, in the whale fisheries of the Pacific ocean, and in the Gulf of Mexico, require equal attention to their safety; and a small squadron may be employed to great advantage on our Atlan tic coast, in mleeting sudden demands for the rein forcement of other stations, in aiding merchant vessel in distress, in affa-,ing active service to an additional number of officers, and in visiting the different ports of tihe Uited Stales, an accurate knowledge of which is obviously of the highest importance. The attention of Congress is respectfully called to that portion of the report recommending an i inerease in the number of smaller vessels, and to other euggestions contained in that document. The rapid increase and wide expansion of our commerce, which is every day seeking new avenues of profitable adventure; th absoluteo necessity of a naval force for its protection precisely in the degree of itse xonsion; a due regard to tile national sights anod honor; the recollection of its former exploits, and the anticipations of its fiture triumph when. ever opportunity prerents itself, which we may rightfully indulge from theexperieneo of the past; all seem to point to the navy as a most efficient arm ofour national defenct, and a proper object of legislative encouragement. The prsgress and condition of the Post Office i)epartnient well he seen by refe once to the report of the Post Master General. The extent of post roads, covered by mail contracts, is stated to be 134,818 miles, and tile annual transportation upon lthem 34.580,.02 miles. The number orpost offices in the U. States as 19,554; and rapidly increasing. The gross revenue for the year ending on the 30th day of Juno last, was 4 1102.165 00. The accru ing expendtsan s. $4,680,068 00; exrces of expoul deires. 417,9923 00. This has beea made up out of the snrplti prey ously on hand. Tile cash on hand on the first instant, was "314,068 00. The revenue for the year ending June 30, 1838, was .g;il,t4) msore than that focr the year ending June 30, 1837. the etpenditures of tile dopaitment had been graduated upon the anticipation of a largely increased r venue A moderate curLild ment of mail service r''cosequttoly becamue oc. coasary, andl ha been effooted, to shield the De p:trtmont against the danger of omlarrassccent. ls revenuo is now improving, and it will soon rrltoc its onward march or iimiprovItntitt. Your poarliculr at'tentnt is requested to so mluch of the PoasmcFter General's report cs re. loaes to tihe transportation of the mails upo.e railroads. The laws on that subloct do not seem adequate to secure that service, now become almost essential to the public inter, sta, and at the same timen protect the department fronm combinea tions and unreasonable demands. Nor san I on earnestly request your attention to the necessity of providinc a nomre secure bu'ld" ing for this department. The danger of destrue. tion to which its important hooks and papers are continually exposed, as well from thle highly cone' hustible character of the hbutiling occupied, as from that of othors in the viclniry, calls loudly for prompt antion. Your attention isagain earnestly invited to the surggations and reeommendations submited oat the last session in respect to tile District of Co. lumhtn. I frel it nr duty also to brine to your notice cert trin proceedinge at law, which hIave recently been cnrsectred in this Dilstrir, in tie name of the Ueiced States, on the rclsations of Messes Stckton & Stokes, of the State of M.rylannd, against the Postmaster General, which have resulted in the paymient of money out of the nntione-l T'reasury, for the first time sinc e thestablishment or tivs Government. by judicial eompulsion exercised by the common law writ el mandamus issued by tihe circuit eourt of ihin D:lsrict, The facts of tie ases, and the grounds of the proceedrinser, will be found fully stated in the report of the decision; and any addlnionn in formation which you may doeire will be supplied by the proper department. Ni particular case is contemplated. The money hoe been paid; the claims theprserutors lhave ibe n satisfied nsnd the whole subject, so far as they are concerned, is finaelly disposed of; but it is on the supprosition that thle caose ray he rerctded ors an coteoratative eo' positir of the low as irit iow itnds, tht !l lave thought it neceaery to present itto your eonsidoration. Tile object of tie a phlenti to the circuit coulrt was to compel the Peat Misler Gelnrr.rl troaey inr et fost an award made by tile soliciror of thi Trefrosllry, ndcr a special act ofoogrecss flr thie erlr.ltent orfeertali of the re lntors toi' lie lost oilhre i)DeIrrtrrIt whicl award tie piost MIIstCr GenteIR I declined to excerle ii fill, ntiil he shouhl receive firiter le iolatelo direr. tion on tie subjecrt.

And if thle dltr si inposedl oi the fort-. master General was tone cn-idered as nmrely nrudie reriel al not executtive, it yet remained io be shown that the circult court of this district ihai authority tirn intelrfre by meeandames-- ch power chisl. cever be fore beforehbee asserted or claimed biy that court. With a view to the settlement of these impor tant questions, the judgment of the circuit courl was carried by a writ of error, to the Supreme Court of the United States. In the opinion oI that tribunal, the duty imposed ori the Postmnaser General was not an offieial, executie duly, bilt one of a merely ministerial nature. The grove constitutional questions which ihad been disanosed were, therefore, xeoluded from the decision of the case; the esurt, indeed, expressly admlltlting thar, with powers and duties properly belonring to the Executive, no other department can interfere by the writ of mandamus; nod the question, there fore, resolved itself into this: lHas ConLuress con ferred upon the circuit court ci this district the power to issue such a writ to anl mClter oi the g" ni ernl government conmmanding him to performl n minieteral octl A nrjorlty of the court il.evt derided that it he, bul have f-nnded thi ii decr. sion upon a process of rensoning whlich, in m judrment, renders lurther legislative previsitn indipensabhle In the publia interests and the e-lual administra'ion of je-tice. It has long since been decided by tire Suprelnt Courit, that neither thet tribunr l nor the ircut courts of the United States held withli the i( epective States, possess thli power in qoeusinn; but it is now held that this puow , denied to Iiith of those high tribunals, (to tile louner by the con stitution,and to the latter biy C.ngirssi,) has been, by its legislation, vested il the circuit coourt o this d istret. No i such direct grunt of power tt the circuit court of this district is claimed; but II has been held to result, by necessary imtplicaition, front sevral sections of he law establishing the eourt.
