* < ■■ ifli -I — 1 'll. -x.-s-r «* .— WiafcWr *,«►— It is freely admitted, that it would be inexpedient for this government to exercise the power of constructing the Pacific Railroad hy its own immediate agents. Such a po’icy would increase the patronage of the executive to a dangerous exter.f and introduce a system of jobbing and corruption, which no vigiience on the part of federal officials, could prevent or detect. This can only be done by the keen eye, and active and careful supervision of individual and private interest. The construction of this road ought, therefore to be committed to the companies incorporated by the 5 s, cr ot: ■ r

agencies whose peculiar interests woulJ be directly involved. Congress might then assist them in the work by grants of land or of money, or both, under such; conditions and restrictions as would secure the transportation of troops an J munitions of war from any clpirge, and that of the United States mall at a fair and reas tnable price. The progress of events since the commencement of your last session, has shown how soon difficulties disappear before a firm and determined resolution. At that time, such a road was deemed by wise and patriotic men to be a vissionary project. The great distance to be overcome and the intervening mountains and deserts in the way, where obstacles which, in opinion of many could not be surmounted. Now, after the lapse of but a single year these obstacles, it has been discovered, are far less formidable than they were supposed to be; and mail stages, with passengers, now pass and repass regularly twice in each week, by a common wagonroad between San Francisco and St. Louis and Memphis, in less than twenty-five days. The service lias been as regularly performed as it was in former yea r s between New York and thiscity. Whilst disclaiming all authority to appropriate money for the construction of this road, except that derived from the war-making power of the Constitution, there aye important collateral considerations urging us to undertake the work as speedily as possible The first and most momentousof these is, that such a road would be a powerful bound of union between the States East and W est ol the Rocky Mountains. This is so self-cviden. as to require no illustration. But again in a commercial point of view, I consider this (lie great question of the day. With the Eastern front of our Republic stretching along the Atlantic, and its Western front along the Pacific, if all the parts should be united by a safe, easy and rapid communication, ar must necessarily command a very large proportion of the trade both of Europe and Asia Our recent treaties with China and Japan will open those rich and popu lous empires to our commerce; ai d the

—' I “ - -- ’ history ot the world proves that the nation which has gained possession of the trade with Eastern Asia, has always become wealthy and powerful. The peculiar geographical position of California, and our Pacific possesions, invites American capital and enterprise into this fruitful field. To reap the rich harvest, however is an indispensable prequisite, that we shall first have a railroad, to convey and circulate its products throughout every portion of the Union. Besides, such a railroad through our temperate latitude, which would not be impeded by the frosts and snows of winter, nor by the tropical heats of summer, would attract to itself much of the travel and the trade of all nation passing between Europe and Asia. THE CAPTURED SLAVER. On the 21st of August last. Lieutenant J. N. Mafifit, of the United States brig Dolphin, captured the slaver Echo, ‘formerly the Putnam, of New Orleans) near Kay Verde, on the coast of Cuba, with more than three hundred African negroes on board. The prize, under the command of Lieutenant Bradford, of the United States Navy, arrived at Charleston on the 27th of August, when the negroes, three hundred and six in num"er were delivered into the custody of the United Stales Marshal for the districts of South Carolina. They were first placed in Castle Pinckney, and afterwards in Fort Sumpter, for safe-keeping; and were detained there until the 19th September when-the survivors, two hundred and seventy-one in number, were delived on board the United States steamer Niagara, to be transported to the coast of Africa under the charge of the agent of the U. S.; pursuant to the pt o vision of the act of the 3d of M-.rch, 1819, ‘in addition to the acts prohibiting the'slave trade ’ — Under the second section of this act, the President is authorized to make such regulations and arrangements as he mav deem expedient for the safekeeping, support, and removal beyond the limits of the United Suites, of all such negroes, inulattoes, or persons of color’ captured bv vessels of the United States as ntav be delivered by the marshall of the district into which they are brought; ‘and to appoint a proper person or persons residing upon the coast of Africa, as agents for receiving the negroes, inulattoes, of perrons of color, delivered from on board vessels seized in the prosecution of the slave trade by coivnvauders of the United States t.rtned vessels.’ A doubt immediately arose as to the true construction of this act. It i.“ quite clear from its ’•rma that president was authorized to pro vide ‘for the safe keeping, support and removal of these negroee up till the time ot their delivery to the agent on the coast of Africa; but no express provision wa-t made for then-protection and support after hey 1 i ’ rcTehtd the p' •<•<’ of tl.-:r 'L t-na-i- u

Still, an agent was to be appointed to receive them in Africa; and it could not have been supposed that Congress intended that he should desert them at the moment they Were received and turn them hose in that inhospitable Coast . to perish for want of food, or to Isecome again the victims of the slave trade. Had this been , the intention of Congress, the employment of an agent to receive them, who is required to reside ou the coast, was unnecessary, and they might have been landed by our vessels anywhere in Africa, and left exposed to the sufferings and the fate which would certainly await them. Mr. Munroe, i,t his special message the 17th D.-cemLer, 18i9, at the first session after the act was passed, announced to Congress what in

----- r— — = his opinion,.was its true construction. He bn ■ ik-vetl it to be his duty uuder it, to follow those unfortunates into Africa, and make provisions for them there, until they should be able to provide fur themselves. In communicating this ; interpretation of the act of Congress, he stated that some doubt had been entertained as to its ’ '.rue intent and meaning, and he submitted the question to them, so that they might ‘should it ; be deemed advisable, amend the same before further proceedings are had under it.’ Nothing was done by Congress to explain the act, , and Mr. Monroe proceeded to carry it into exej cutiou according to his own interpretation. — This, then, became the practical construction. When the Africans from on board the Echo were delivered to the marshal at Charleston, it became my duty to consider what disposition ought to be made of them under the law. For many reasons it was expedient to remove them from that locality as speedily as possible. Al- . though the conduct of the authorities and citizens of Charleston, in giving countenance to the execution of the law, was just what might have been expected foom their high character, yet a prolonged continuance of three hundred Africans in the immediate vicinity of that city, ' could not have failed to become a source of inconvenience ami anxiety to its inhabitants — Where to send them was the question. There was no portion of the coast of Africa, to which . 1 they could be removed with any regard to hu-, i manity, except to Liberia. Under these cir- ; cumstances, au agreement was entered into I ' with the Colonization Society on the 7th De- 1 camber last, a copy of which is herewith transmitted, uuder which the Society engaged, for I the consideration of forty-five thousand dollar®, ! to receive these Africans in Liberia, from the ’ agent of the United States, and furnish them I during the period of one year thereafter, with ' comfortable shelter, clothing, provisions and , all medical attendance, causing the children to receive schooling; and all, whether children or ■ adults, to be instructed in the arts of civilized I -1 life, suitable to tlfeTr condition. This aggre-I gate of forty-five thousand dollars was based upon an allowance of one hundred and fifty I dollars for each individual, and as there has I been considerable mortality among them, and | may be more before they reach Africa, the so I ciety hare agreed, in an equitable spirit, to make such a deduction from the amount, as un-1

de - the circumstances may appear just and reasonable. This cannot he fixed until we shall ascertain the actual number which may become a charge to the society. It was also distinctly agreed, that, under no I circumstances, shall this government be called ; upon for any additional expenses. The agents of the society manifested a landI able desire to conform to the wishes of the gov- ' ernment, throughout the transaction. They as- I I sored me that, after a careful calculation, they would he required to expend the sum of $15!) on each individual in complying with the agree- ■ ’ ment, and thev would have nothing left to renumerate them for their care, trouble and responsibility. At all events, I could make no ' , belter arrangement, and (here was no other al- ' ternative. During the period when the govern- ; merit itself, through its own agents, undertook i the task of providing for captured negroes in { Africa, the cost per head was very much greater. There having been no outstanding appropri- I ■ ation applicable to-this purpose, I could not adi vance any money on the agreement. I there ■ fore recommend that an appropriation may be ; made of the amount necessary to carry it into effect. Other captures of a similar character may, • and probably will, be made by our naval for- , cesjand I earnestly recommend, that Congress I may amend the second section of the act of March 3,1819, so as to free its construction from The ambiguity which has so long existed, and render the duty of the Presidem plain in execu- . ting its provisions. THE DISTRICT. i I recommend to your favorable regard, the local interests of the District of Columbia. As the i residence of Congress and the Executive De- ; partments of the government, we cannot fail to ' feel a deep concern in its welfare. This is (lightened by the high character and the peace- • , ful and orderly conduct of its resident inhab-1 itants. 1 can not conclude without performing I the (Agreeable duty of expressing my gratification that Congress so kindly responded to the recommendation of my ! last anual message, by affording me suffi- , cient time before the close of their late session, for the examination of all the bills • presented to me for approval. This change in the practice of Congtess has proved to be a wholesome reform. I: : exerted a beneficial influence on the transaction of legislative business, and elicited the general approbation of the country. Itenabled Congress to adjourn with that ■ dignity and deliberation so becoming to ■ the n-presi (natives of this great Republic without having crowded into general . appropriation bills, provisions foreign to ; their nature, and of doubtful constitutionality and expediency. Let me warmly and strongly commend this precedent, establish-d by tl-etnselves as a guide to their proceedings during the present sesi ston. JAMES BUCHANAN. • Washisston City, December 6, 1858.
