Venezuela has been subordinate, aud I a Pfc*VialO0*l Government laving boon instituted under oiroumstancoa wh??b? pr?mi?? durability, "?t ha?? been favorably rccogiii/.i-'d. I h?Yft'boon ' reluctantly obbjged.to ask explanation a?d, satisfaction for national injuries committed..bythe President of Hay ti. The .political and sooiul condition of tba rep?blica of Haiti .and St. Bbmiugq'and tho entire'Weit Indies, except, the Spa? nish isiauds of Cuba and Foi io Rico, has boen followed by ft profound popular. oouviotiou ..of tho rightful? ness of republican, institutions, and an intense desire to aeonre them. Tho attempt, however, to establish republics - thore encounters many obstacles, most of which may bo sup? posed to be from long indulged ha? bits of colonial supineness and de? pendence upou European mouurchiul powers, while tho United States bave, on all occasions, professed a decided unwillingness that any part of this continent or its adjacent is? lands, shall be made a theatre for a now establishment of monarchical powers. Too little has been done by ns, on the other hand, to attach the communities by which we nie sur? rounded, to our own country-, or lend even a moral support to tho efforts they aro so resolutely and so con? stantly making to secure republican institutions for themselves. It is a question of grave consideration whe? ther our recent aud present example is not calculated to check the growth and expansion of free principles, and make these communities distrust, if not dread, a Government which, at will, consigns to military domination, States that are integral parts of our Federal Union, and, while ready to resist any attempts by other nations to extend to this hemisphere the monarohial institutions of Europe, assumes to establish over a largo por? tion of her people, a rule moro ab? solute, harsh and tyrannical, than an v known to civilized power. The acquisition of Alaska wat made with a view of extending thc national jnrisdiction and Republican principles in the American bernis phere. Believing that a farther ster. conld be taken in the same direction, I last year entered into a treaty witli tho King of Denmark for tho pur chase of the islands of St. Thoma: and St. John, on the best terms thor obtainable, and with tho express con sont of the people of these islands This treaty still remains under con sideration in the Senate. A nev convention has been entered intt with Denmark, to enlarge thc tim* fixed for iiual satisfaction of th? original treaty. Comprehensivo na tional policy would seem to sanctioi the acquisition aud iucorporatioi into our Federal Union of the seve ral adjacent continental and instila communities, ns speedily as it can b done, peacefolly, lawfully, and with out any violation of national justice faith or honor. Foreign possessio: or control of those communities, hn hitherto burdened tho growth an impeded thc infiuonco of the Unite States. Chronic revolution and an archy there would bo equally injur oas. Each one of them, when firml established as an independent Rc public, or whou incorporated in th United States would bo a new sourc of tho strength and power. Conforming my administration* t these principles, I have on no occi sion lent support or toleration to ni lawful expeditions on foot, upon tl plea of republican propagandista, < of national extension or aggrandiz mont. The necessity, however, < repressing such unlawful movemen clearly indicate the duty which res upon ns of adapting our l?gislatif action to tho new circumstances of decline of European- monarchic power and influence, ?nd the increa of American republican ideas, inte esta and sympathies. It cannot be long before it will b como necessary for this Governmei to lend some effective aid to tho sol tion of the political and social pr hienas which are continually ke before the world by the R publics of the island of St. D mingo, and which are now disc tosh themselves more distinctly th: heretofore in the island of Cub Tho subjeot is commended to yoi consideration, with all the moro ca u est nest, because I am satisfied th the time has arrived when even dirent a proceeding as a proposita for nn annexation of the two repn lies of tho island of St. Domiug would not only receive tho consent the people interested, but would al givo satisfaction to all other forei nations. I am aware that npon tho questi of further extending our possessio) ii. is apprehended by some that c political system cannot succossfn be applied to an area more extond than our continent. But tho con\ tion is rapidly gaining ground in t American mind, that with theincre ed facilities for iutercommunicati between all portions of the earth, I Erinciplesof free government, as c odied in our Constitution, if fai illly maintained and carried 01 wonld provo of sufficient streni and breadth to comprehend wit their sphere and influence tho ci ?zed nations of tho world. Tho tuution of tho Senato and of C gr* . is again respectfully invited ?.ie treaty for tho establishment commercial reciprocity with Hawaiian Kingdom, entered i last year and already latified by Go vor ii mon i. The attitude of tho United 8tuteo towards these islands Ls not very different from that in whieh they stand towards I tho Weat '< Indies. It is known and felt by the Hawaiian Government and the people, that their Government and institutions are feeble and precarious; that the United States being so near a neigh? bor, would be unwilling to see the island pass under foreign control. Their prosperity is continually dis? turbed by expectations and alarms of unfriendly political powers, proceed? ing as well from the United States as from other foreign powers. A reci? procity treaty, while it could not materially diminish the revenue of the United States, would bo a guarantee of tho good will and for bearaoco of all nations until the poo ploof tho islands shall, of themselves, at no distant day, voluntarily apply for admission into the Union. The Emperor of Russia has accedod to tho treaty negotiated hero in Janu? ary Jast, for tho security of trade? marks in the interest of manufactures and commerco. I havo invited his attention to the importance of esta? blishing now,while it seemo easy aud practicable, a fair and equal regula? tion of tho vost fisheries belonging to tho now nations tu the waters of tho North Pacific Ocean. Tho two treaties between tho United States and Italy, for the regulation of consular powers and the extradition of criminals, ne? gotiated and ratified during the last session of Congress, havo been ac? cepted and confirmed by the Italian Government. A liberal consular convention whieh has been negotiated with Belgium, will bo submit ted to the Senate. The very important treaties which Mere negotiated between the United States and North Germany aud Bavaria, for the regulation of tho rights of natu? ralized citizens, have boeu duly rati? fied aud exchanged, and similar treaties have been entered into with the kingdoms of Belgium and Wur temburg, and with the Grand Duchies of Buden and Hesse. I hope soon to be ablo to submit equally satisfactory conventions of the same character, now iu tho course of negotiation.with tho rcspeotivoGovernments of Spain, Italy aud the German Empire. Tlio examination of claims against the United States by the Hudson Bay Company and the Puget Sound Agri? cultural Company, on account of cer? tain possessory rights iu the Stuto ol Oregou and Territory of Washiugtou, alleged by these companies in virtue of tho provisions of the treaty be tween tho United States aud Great Britain, of June 15, 181(5, has been diligently prosecuted under the direc? tion of the Joint International Com mission to which they wero submitter for adjudication by treaty betwcei: the two Governments ot July 1, 1868, and will, it is expected, bo concluder at an carly day. No practical regulation ooiioerninj colonial trade and the fisheries cat bo accomplished by treaty betweei tho United States and Great Britain until Congress shall have expressed their judgment concerning the prin ciples involved. Three other questions, howovor. between the United States and Grea Britain, remain open for adjustment these are the mutual rights of natu ralized citizens, tho boundary ques tion, involving tho title to the islam of San Juan, on tho Pacific coast, am mutual claims arising since the yea 1853, of tho citizens and subjects o the two countries, for injuries au< depredations committed uuder th authority of their respective Govorn ments. Negotiation upon these sub j cots are ponding; and I am not with out hope of being able to lay befon the Senate, for their consideration during the present session, protocol calculated to bring to an end thes justly exciting and Tong existing con troversies. I nm not advised of the action c the Chinese Government upon th laborious and auspicious treaty whic was recently celebrated with its plc nipotontiary at this capital. Japan remains a theatre of civ war, | marked by religious incident and political severity peculier to thc long isolated empire. The Executiv has hitherto maintained strict net trality among the belligerents, an acknowledges with pleasuro that : has been frankly and fully sustaine in that course by tho enlightenc concurrence and co-operation of th other treaty powers, namely: G ret Britain. France, tho Netherland North Germany and Italy. Spain having recently undergor a revolution marked by extraordinal unanimity and preservation of orde tho Provisional Government estai lisheti at Madrid has been rocoj nized. The friendly interests whic have so long and happily existed b twoen the two countries remain ui changed. I renew the recommendation coi tained in my communication to Coi gross, dated the 16th July last, copy of which accompanies this mc sago, that the judgment of the pe plo should be taken on tho proprie, of so amending the Federal Constit tion that it shall provide: 1. For an election of Presidei and vice-President by a direot vo of the people, instead of through tl agency of electors, and making the ineligible for re-election to a seo<n term. 2. For a distinct designation tho person who shall discharge tl duties of President, in the event of n vacaocry'nTthat offico^nyVfeta'.death, resignation, or removal ol both the. President and Vice-President'. 8. For the election of Senators of the United States, directly by Ihe people of the several Staten, instead of by the Legislatures. 4. For limitation to a period of years of the terms of Federal judges. Profoundly impressed with the propriety of making these important modifications in the Constitution, I respectfully submit them f( r the early consideration of Congress. We should, as far as possiblo, remove all pretext for violatious of the orgimis law by remedying such imperfections as time and experience may de? velop, ever remembering that the Constitution, which at any lime exists, until changed by au explicit and authentic act of tho whole peo? ple, is sacredly obligatory upon all. In the performance of a duty im? posed upon me by thc Constitution, I have communicated to Congress in? formation of the state of the Union, and recommended for their consider? ation such measures as have seemed to mo necessary and expedient. If carried into effect, they will hasten tho accomplishment of the great and beuificial purpose for which the Con? stitution was ordained, and which it comprehensively states wore to form a more perfect Uuiou, establish jus? tice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for tho common defence, promote the general welfare, and se? cure tho blessings of liberty to our? selves and our posterity. In Con? gress are vested all legislative powers, aud upon thom devolves the respon? sibility ns woll for framing unwise aud excessive laws, aa for neglecting to devise aud adopt measures abso? lutely demanded by the wants of the country. Let us earnestly hope that before tho expiration of our respec? tivo terms of service, now rapidly drawing to a close, an All-wise Pro? vidence will so guard our couusel as to strengthen and preserve the Fede? ral Union, iuspiro reverence for the Constitution, restore prosperity and happiness to our whole people and promote on earth peace aud good will towards men.
