in their ordinary affairs, is, in my iudg? ment, to view it in a very erroneous light. The Constitution prohibits the States from making any thing but gold and silver a tender in the payment of debts, and thu? secures to every citizen a riff hi to demaud payment in the legal currency. To provide by law that the Government will only receive its dues in gold and silver, is not to confer on it any peculiar privilege; but merely to place it on an equality with the itilivan htr rnaavvinw M * a vi9wj ivovi v?iij tu ii q n^ui secured to him by the Constitution. It is doubtless for this reason that the principle has been sanctioned by successive laws, from the time of the first Congress under the Constitution down to the last. Sueh precedents, never objected to and proceeding from such sources, afford a decisive answer to the imputation of inequality or injustice. But, in fact, the measure ia one of re-striction, not of favor. To forbid the .public ageat to receive in * pay nient any other than a certain kind of money, is 'to refuse him a discretion possessed by every citizen. It may be left to those who have the management ot their otvn transactions, to inake their own terms; but no such discretion should be given to him who acts merely as an agent of the people, who is to collect what the law requires, and to pay the appropriations it makes. When bank notes are redeem ed on demand, there is then no disrrimi nation in reality, for the individual who receives them may, at his option, substitute the specie for them; he tukes them from convenience or choice. When they are not so redeemed, it will scarcely he contended that their receipt and payment by a public officer, should be permitted, though none deny that right to an individual ; if it were, the effect would be most injurious to the public, since their officer could make none of those arrangements to meet or guard against the depre u __ viuuuu, wurcii an uiuiviuuui is at liberty to do. Nor cnn inconvenience to the community be alleged as an objection to such a regulation lis object and motive are their convenience arid welfare. If, at a moment of simultaneous and unexpected suspension by the banks, it adds sonlething to the many embarrassments of that proceeding, yet these are far overbalanced by its direct tendency to produce a wider circulation of gold and silver, to increase the safety of bank paper, to improve the general currency, ami thus to prevent altogether suoh occurrences, and the other and far greater evils that attend them. It may, indeed, he questioned, whether :? r,?- : < -? >v 13 nut mi vim imcrPSl 01 me uanKs themselves tiiat the Government should not receive their paper. They would be conducted with more caution, and on sounder principles. By using specie only in its transactions, the Government would create a demand for it, which would, t a great extent, prevent its exportation, and by keeping it in circulation, maintain a a broader and safer basis for the paper currency. That the banks would thus be rendered more sound, and the community more safe, cannot admit of a doubt. The foregoing views, it seems to me, ! do but fairly carry out the provisions of the Federal Constitution in relation to the currency, as far as relates to the | ublic revenue. At lire time that instrument was framed, there were but three or four banks in the United States; and had the a r -1. 1 extension 01 me numting system, and tiie evils growi g out of it, been foreseen, they would probably have been specially guarded against. The same policy which led to the prohibition of bills of credit by the States, would doubtless, in that event, i have also interdicted their issue as a currency in any other form. The Constitution, however, contains no such prohibition ; and, since the States have exercised for nearly half a century the power to regulate the business of banking, it is not to be expected that it will be abandoned. The whole matter is now under discussion before the proper tribunal?the people of the States. Never before has the public mind been so thoroughly awakened to a proper sense of its importance; never has the subject, in ail its hearings, been submitted to so searching an inquiry. It would be distrusting the intelligence and virtue of the people to doubt the speedy and efficient adoption of such measures of reform as the public good demands. All that can rightfully he done by the Federal Government, to promote the accomplishment of that important object, will, without doubt, be performed* in tne mean tunc, It is our duly to provide all the remedies against a depreciated paper currency which the Constitution enables us to afford The Treasury Department, on several former occasions, has suggested the propriety and importance of a uniform law concerning bankruptcies of corporation^, and other hankers. Through the instrumentality of such a law, a salutary check may doubtless be imposed 011 the issues of paper money, and an effectual remedy given to the citl-' zen in a way at once equal in alt parts of1, the Union, and fully authorized by the! Constitution. The indulgence granted by Executive authority in the payment of bonds for du-1 ties, has been already mentioned. Seeinv that the immediate enforcement of these obligations would subject a large and high-. )y respectable portion of our citizens to great sacrifices, and believing that a tem-l porary postponement could be made without detriment to other interests, and with increased certainty of iiltiinute payment, I did not hesitate to comply with the request that was made of me. The terms' allowed, are, to the full extent, as liberal1 as any that are to be found in the practice . of the Executive Department. It remain* i for Congress to decide whether a further i postponement may not with propriety be i allowed, and, if so, their legislation upon ! the subject is respectfully invited. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury will exhibit the condition of these debts ; the extent and effect of the present indulgence; the probable result of its further extension on the state of the Treasury, and every other' fact necessary to a full consideration of the subject.? i Similar information is communicated in j reirard to such deoositoriea of th? nhMi? ? . -- r-",,v moneys as are indebted to the Government, in order that Coqgress may <ilso adopt the proper measures in regard ft0 them. The receipts and expenditures for the first half of the year, and an estimate of those for the residue, will be laid before you by the Secretary of the Treasury. In his report of December last, it was estimated thai the current receipts would fall short of the expenditures by about three millions of dollars. It will be seen that the difference will be much greater. ! This is to be attributed not only to the ' occurrence of greater pecuniary embarrassments in the business oi the country than tho?c which were then predicted, and consequently, a greater diminution in the revenue, but also to Hire fact that the appropriations exceeded, by nearly six millions, the nmount-which was askod for in the estimates then submitted. The sum necpssary for the service of the year beyond the probable receipts, and the amount which it uriifl inlon/lo'l "! '?1 -1 1? 1 ? .. ..?. ....vnu?u biiuuiu uc reservea in the Treasury at the commencement of the year, will be about six millions. If the whole of the reserved balance be not at once applied t?> the current expenditures, but four millions be still kept in the Treasury, as seeins most expedient for the uses of the mint, and to meet contingencies, the sum needed will bo ten rni'lions. In making this estimate, the receipts are calculated on the supposition of some further extension of the indulgence granted in the pavment of bonds for duties, which will affect the amount of the revenue for the present year to the extent of two and a half millions. It is not proposed to procure the required amount bv loans or increased taxation. There are now in the Treasury nine millions three hundred.and sixty-seven thousand two hundred and fourteen dollars directed by the act of the 23d of June, I83C, to be deposited with the States in October next. This sum, if so deposited will be subject, under the law, to be recalled, if needed, to defray existing appropriations; anil as it is now evident that the whole, or the principal part of it, will be wanted for that purpose, it appears most proper thai the depositc should be withheld. Until the amount can be collected frotn the banks. Treasury notes may be temporal ily issued, to be gradually redeemed as it is received. I am aware that this course may be productive of inconvenience to many of the States. Relying upon the acts of Congress which held out to tlioin the strong probability, if not tlie certainty, ot receiving this instalment, they have in some instances adopted measures with which ilis retention may seriously inter I Cere. That such a condition of things should have occurred is much to lie re-1 gretted. It is not the least among the unfortunate results of the disasters of the times ; and it is for Congress to devise a fit rerned'*, if there be ??ne. The money being indispensable to the wants of the Treasury, it is difficult to conceive upon what principle of justico or expediency its application to that object can be avoided. To recall any portions of the sums' already deposited wilii the States, would be more inconvenient and less efficient. To burden the country with increased taxation, when there is in fact a large sur-' plus revenue, would be unjust and unwise; to raise moneys by loans under such circutnsiaiices, and thus to commence a new national debt, would scarcely be sanctioned by the American people. The plan proposed will he adequate to all our fiscal operations, during the remainder of the year. Should it be adopted the Treasury, aided by the ample resour* ccs of the country, will he able to dis charge, punctually, every pecuniary obligate 'ii. For the future, all that is needed will be that caution and forbearance in appropriations woich the diminution of the revenue requires, and which the complete accomplishment of great forwardness of many expensive national undertakings renders equally consistent with prudence and patriotic liberality. The preceding suggestions and recommendations are submitted, in the belief that their adoption by Congress will enable the Executive Department to conduct our fiscal concerns with success, so far as their management has been committed to it. Whilst the objects and the means proposed to attain them are within its constitutional powers and appropriate duties, they will al the same time, it is hoped, by th"ir necessary operation, afford essential aid in the transaction of individual concerns, and thus yield relief to the people at latge in a form adapted to the nature of our Government. Those who look to the action of this Government for specific aid to the citizen to relieve embarrassments arising from losses by revulsions in commerce and credit, lose sight' of the ends for which it was created, and. the powers with which it is clothed. It( was established to give security to us all, i in our lawful and honorable pursuits, under 1 the lasting safeguard of republican insti * , *4 I tutions. It vii not intended to confer special favors on individuals, or on any classes of them; to create systems of agriculture, manfaetures, or trade; or to engage in thorn, either separately or in connection- with individual citizens or organized associations. If its operations were to be directed for the benefit of any one class, equivalent favors roust, in justice, t>e Attended to the rest1; and the attempt to bestow such favors with an equal hand, or even to select those who. should most deserve them, would never be successful. AH communities are ant : to look to Government for too much. , Even in our own country, where its pow- < era and duties are so strictly limited, we i are protfe to do so, especially at periods of sudden embarrassment and distress. ( But this ought not to be. The framcrs oi our excellent Constitution, and the people who approved ft with calm and saga- , cious deliberation, acted at the time on a ; sounder principle. They wisely judged iL.i -1 I d"% ' - e ? mat me less uorernmem interferes with private pursuits, the better for the general < prosperity. It is not its legitimate object < to make men rich, or to repair, by direct < grants of money or legislation in favor of < particular pursuits, losses not incurred in the public service. This would be substantially to use the property of so ><e lor < the benefit of others. Bui its real duty? < that duty, the performance of which makes ? a good Government the most prations of human blessings?is to enuct and enforce a system of general laws commensurate 1 with, but not exceeding, the objects of its 1 establishment, and to leave every citizen l and every interest to reap, under its be- < nign protection, the rewards of virtue, in- * dustry and prudence. 1 cannot doubt that on this, as on all similar I occasions, tho Federal Government will find its agency most couducive to the security and huppiness ol the people, when limited to the exercise <>f its conceded powers In never assumi. g, even for a well meant object, Wucn powers as were not designed to be confe red upon it, we shall in reality do moat for the general welfare. To avoid ev? ry unnecessary interference with the pursuits of th< citi/.en, will result n more benefit than to ad <pl measures which could nly assist limited interests, and are eagerly, but perhaps natur liy sought for. under the pressure of temporary ciicuiuslances. If, therefore, 1 refrain from suggesting to Congress any specific plan for regulating the exchan ges of the country ; relieving mercantile embarrassments ; or interfering with the ordinary operations -of foreign or domestic commerce; it is from , a conviction that such measures are not within th constitutional province of the General Govern j inent, and that their adoption would not promote I the real and pemianenl welfare of those they might j be designed to aid. I The difficulties and distresses of the times, tho'. 1 unquestionably great, are limited in their extent, { and cannot be regarded as affecting the permanent prosperity of the nation. Arising, in a great 1 degree, from the transactions of-foreign and do- , mestic commerce, it is upon them that they have chiefly fallen. The great agricultural interest has, in many parts of the country suffered comparatively | little; and, as if Providertce intended to display the ( munificence of its goodness at the luumeat of our greatest need, and in direct contrast to the evils ' occasioned by the waywardness of man, we have I been blessed throughout our extended territory | with a season of general health and of uncommon fruilfulness. The proceeds of our great staples will soon furnish the means of liquidating debts at home and abroad, and contribute equally to the revival of coirimercial activity, and the restoration of commercial credit. The banks, established avowedly for its support, deriving their profits from it, and resting under obligations to it which can- *' not be overlooked, will feef at once the necessity j and justice of uniting their energies with those of' ( the mercantile interest. The suspension of specie payments, at such a time and under such circUm-1 stances as-we have lately witnessed, could not he f other than a temporary measure; and we can I scarcely err in believing that the period must soon J ( arrive when qll that are solvent will redeem their | . issues in gold and silver. Dealings abroad natu- j rally depend on resources and prosperity at home. ' 1 1 r I h<> Hphl nf nnr niArchnnln ltn? uppnmiilnla/l a? their credit is impaired, these are fluctuations al- | ways incident to extensive or extravagant mercan- ' . tile transactions. But the ultimate security ofsuch obligations does not admit of question ? ' They are guarantied by the resources of a country, 1 the fruits of whose industry alFord abundant means ( of ample liquidation, and by the evident interest bf every merchant to sustain a credit, hitherto ' high, by promptly applying these means for its t preservation. I deeply regret that events have occurred which t require me to ask your consideration of such serious topics. I could have wished that, in making my first communication to the Assembled representatives of my country, 1 had nothing to dwell I upon but the history of her unalloyed prosperity. | Since it is otherwise, we can only feel more deeply the responsibility of the respective trusts that have . been confided to us, and, under the pressure of dif- ' Acuities, unite in invoking the guidance and aid ( of the Supreme Ruler of nations, and in lnhoring ( with zealotis resolution to overcome the difficultics by which we are enviioned It is, under such circumstances, a high gratifica < tion to know, by long esperience, that we act for a people to whom the truth, however unpromising, t can always be apoken with safety; for the trial of whose patriotism no emergency is too severe, and ' who an* sure never to desert a public functionary ? honestly laboring for the public good It seems t just that they should receive, without delay, any i " aid in their embarrassments which your deliberations can afford.
