sive personal interests in so important a portion of the legislation of Congress as that which relates to the custody of the public moneys. If laws acting upon private in. terests cannot always be avoided, they should be confine' within the narrowest limits, and left, wherever possible, to the Legislatures of the S'ates. When not thus restricted, they lead to combinations of powerful associations, foster an influence necessarily selfish, and turn the fair course of legislation to sinister ends, rather than to objects that advance public liberty, and promote the general good. The whole subject now rests wirh you, and I cannot but express a hope that some definite measure will bo adopted at the present session. It will not, I am sure, be deemed out of place for me here to remark that thedeclar*' -f m.. ninma i r? \nn/\elflrtM tf> t flP Dol ttllUll U? my VIC WO III ,v J icy of employing banks as depositories of the Government funds cannot justly be construed as indicative of hostility, official or personal, to these institutions ; or to repeat in this form, and in connexion with this subject, opinions which I have uniformity entertained, and on all proper occasions expressed. Though always opposed to tht-ir creation in the form of exclusive privileges, and, as a State magistrate aiming by ap. propriate legislation to secure the community against the consequences of their occasional mismanagement, I have yet ever wished to see them protected in the exercise of rights conferred by law, and have never j?u.?i .u.:...,;!;,,, whon nrnrw?rlv manner. HUUUIOU KICK U 11 li IT f VVKVII |y|u^w? ... ^ ed in promoting the interests of trade, and through that channel, the other interests of the community. To the Genera! Governthey present'themselves merely as State institutions, having no necessary connexion with its legislation oritsadministration. Like other State establishments, the}' may be used or not in conducting the affairs of the Government, as public policy and the general interes's of the Union may seem to rebuire. The only safe or proper principle upon which their intercourse with the Gov. ernment can be regulated is that which regulates their intercourse with the private citizen?the conferring of mutual benefits. When the Government can accomplish a financial operation belter with the aid of the banks than without, it should bo at liberty to seek that aid as it would the services of a private banker, or other capitalists or agents, giving the preference to those who will serve it on the best terms. Nor can there ever exist an interest in the officers of the General Government, as such, inducing them to embarrass or annoy the State imi-a unv metro fhan to incur the hostilitv waiiuoy MIIJ Mtv.v ... of any other class of Slate institutions, or of private citizens. It is not in the natare of things that hostility to these institutions can spring from this source, or any opposiion to their course of business, except when they themselves depart from the objects of their creaiion, and attempt to usurp powers not conferred upon them, or to subvert the standard of value established by the Constitution. While opposition to their regular operations cannot exist in this quarter, resistance to any attempt to make the Government dependant upon them for the successful adininis ration of public affairs is a matter of duty, as I trust it ever will be of inclination, no matter from what motive or consideration tiie att mpt may originate. It is no more than just to the banks to say that, in the late emergency, most of them firmly resisted the strongest tomptations to extend their paper issu s, when apparently, sustained in a suspension 01 specie payments by public opinion, even though in some cases invited by legislative enactments To this honorable couise, aid^d \,y th< resistance of the General Government, ac ting in obedience to the Constitution an< laws of the United Sialss, to the itrroduc tion of an irredeemable paper medium ma; be attributed in a great degree, the speed; restoration of our currency to a sound stale and the business of the country to its won ted prosperity. The banks nave but t< continue in the same safe course, and b content in their appropriate sphere, to avoi all interference from the Genera! Govern fnent, and to derive from it all the proctec lion and benefits which it bestows on othe State establishmsnts, on the people of th States, and on the State themselves. I this, their true position, they cannot but s* cure the confidence Bud good-will of th People and the Government, which the can only lose when, leaping from their leg inmate sphere, they attempt to control th legislation of the country, and pervert ih operations of the Government to their ow purposes. Our experience under the act passed i the last session, to grant pre-emption ngh to settlers on the public lands, has as y been too limited to enable us to pronounc with safety upon the efficacy of its provi ions to carry out the wise and liberal po icy of the Government in that respec There is, however, the best reason to a! ticipate favorable results from its operatio The recomnrondatiou formerly submitt* to von. in respect to a graduation of tl price of the public lands' remain to be fii ally acted upon. Having found no reasc to change the views tnen expressed, yo attention to them is ogam respectfully r quested. Every proper exertion ha* been t^ad and will be continued, to carry out t| wishes of Congress in relation to *he tobs co trade, as indicated in the several resoi tior.s of the House of Representative a the legislation of the two branches. A orable impression has, I trust, been mi in the different foreign countries to wh particular attention has been directed ; ; although we cannot hope for an c: change in their policy, as in many of ti a convenient and large revenue ts deri from monopolies in the fabrication and : of this article, ye', as these monopc are really injurious to ) the People wl they are established, and the revenue de cd from them may be loss injuriously with emial facility obtained Ironi auu and a liberal system of adntinistratioDi cannot doubt that our efforts wiii bo e '"-Jlv <*"0 *< ? *; -r J' r/ '* * - c*' j with temperate firmness, an J sustained bj | prudent legislation. j In recommending to Congress tbeadop. j tion of the necessary provisions at this session for taking the next census, or cnum. eration of the inhabitants of the United States, the suggestion presents itselfwhether the scope of the measure might not be usefully extended by causing it to embrace authentic statistical returns of the great ini teresls specially intrusteJ to, or necessarily i affected by, the legislation of Congress. The accompanying report of the Secretary of ' War presents a satisfactory account of the state of the Army and of the several branches of the j public service confided to the superintendence of | that officer. I*.... >nz-rancin<r and organizing tho rniii. . tar}T establishment of tho United States has been I nearly carried into effect, and the army has been extensively and usefully employed during the past season. I would again call to your notice the subjects I connected with and essential to the military do, fences of the country, which i\ere submitted to I you at the last session; but which were not acted I upon, as is supposed, for want of time. Tho i most important of them is the organization of tho ; militia on tho maritime and inland frontiers.? j This measure is deemed important, as it is be. Iieved that it will furnish an effective volunteer force in aid of tho regular army, and may form the basis for a general system of organization for the entire militia of the United States. The erection of a national foundry and gunpowder manufactory, and one for making small-arms, the latter to be situated at some point west of the Al eghany mountains, all appear to be of suflL eicnt importance to bo again urged upon your at: tention. * ' rnfftyxr n f War The plan proposuu uy v.. ~ v...j ? for the distribution of the forces of the United States in time of peace is well calculated to promote regularity and economy in the fiscal admin, istration of the service, to preserve the discipline of the troops, and to re ider them available for the maintenance of the peace and tranquility of I the country. With this >icw, likewise, I recomI mend the adoption of the plan presented by that ' officer for the defence of the Western frontier. Tho preservation of the lives and property of our fellow.citizens who are settled upon that border country, as well as the existence of tho Indian population, which might be tempted by our waiit of preparation to rush on their own destruction and attack the white settlements, all seein to re. quire that this subject should bo acted upon without delay, and the War ilepartment author, ized to place that country in a state of complete defence gainst any assault from the numerous and warlike tribes which are congregated on that border. It affords mc sincere pleasure to be able to apprize you of the entire removal of tho Cherokee nation of Indians to their new homes west of the Mississippi. The measures authorized by Congress at its last session with a view to the longstanding controversy with them, have had the j happiest effects. By an agreement concluded : with them by tho commanding general in that ' 1 i l.? yl.?4.A0 ncairrnnr) [ country, who has penormoa mu uum-o ur?.gUVM | to him on the occasion with commendable onerj gy and humani'y, their removal has been princij pally under the conduct of their own chiefs, and they have emigrated without any apparent re. luctance. The successful accomplishment < f this impor. tant object; the removal, also, of tho entire Creek nation, with the exception of a small j number of fugitives amongst the Scminoles in Florida ; the progress already made towards a j speedy completion ofthe removal ofthe Chicka. siws, the Choctaws, tho Pottawatamics, the Ot. ; tawas, and the Chippewas, with tho extensive j purchosc ofthe Indian lands during tho present j year, have rendered the speedy and successful re. j suit of the long ?stablish d policy of tho Govern. ' mentupon the subject of Indian affairs entirety certain. The occasion is tiierefore deemed a proper one to place this policy in such a point ol view as will exonerate the Government of the United States from tho undeserved reproach which has been cast upon it through sevoral sue cessive Administrations. That a mixeu occu pancy of the samo territory, by tho white a^( red man, is incompatible with the safety or hap piness of either, is a position in t<?pect lo whicl there has long; sinceceased 'l0 bo room for a dii ( ferenco of opinion. T^ason and experience hav alike deai'inst^<tted its impracticability. Th ( fitter friv.'tg of every attempt heretofore to ovei the barriers interposed by Nature h&ve onl *; t>een destruction, both physieial and moral to th ?
