rUESHOTS MESSAGE. Thus, when the acts of some of the

States to multiply the existing extradition aiaics to muiupij m cxuug irauuio, laws imposed upon Congress the duty of ; passing a new one, tne country was invited by agitators to entei into party organization for its repeal; but that agitation speedily ceased by reason of the impracticability of its object. So when the statute restriction upon the institutions of new States by a geographical line had been repealed the country was urged to demand its restoration, and that project also died almost with its birth; then followed the cry of alarm from the North against imputed Southern encroachments, which cry sprang ia reality from the spirit of revolutionary at'ack on the domestic institutions of the South, and after a troubled existence of a few months has been rebuked by the voice of a patriotic people. Of this last agitation on lamentable feature was that :t was carried on at the immediate expense of the peace and happiness of the people of the Territory of Kansas. mueh in projects of ii.tervention deliberately ar ranged by certain members of that Con-! . r . ..... - i gress which enacteit tno law tor tiie organization of the Terri o.y, and when propagandist colonization of Kansas has thus been undertaken in one section of the Union for the systematic promotion of its peculiar views of policy, then ensued as a matter of course a counter action with opposite views in other sections of the Union. In consequence of these and other incidents, many acts of disorder, it is undeniable, have been perpetrated in Kansas, to the occasional interruption rather than tlie permanent suspention of regular government. Aggressive and most reprehensible incursions into (ho Territory were undertaken both in the North and 5outh, and entered it on its Northern border by the way of Iowa, as well as on the Eastern by way of Missouri, and there ha existed within it a stato of insurrection against ti c constituted authorities, Hot without COUtlteuanco from inconsiderate persons in each of tho great sections of the Union, but the difficulties in that Territory have been extravagantly exaggerated tor purposes of political agitation elsewhere. mi . . l ... .1 : . r i .

Imputed irregularities in tlie elections had in Kansas, lihe occasional irreiftilari-tic-s of the same description in the States, were beyond die sphere of action of the Ex ecutive; but incidents of actual violence, or of oiganized obstruction of Law, pertinaciously revived from time to time, have been met ns they occurred by such menus as were available and as the circumstance required, and nothing of this kind now remains to alfectthe general peace of the Union. The attempts of part of tho inhabitants of the Territory to erect a revolutionary government, thoufrn sedulously encouraged and supplied with pecuniary aid from active agents of disorder in soim of the States, has completely failed, llodies of armed men foreign to the Territory, have been prevented from entering, or compell ed to leave it. I'rcilatory bands engaged jn aet3 0f rapine, undercover of the exTsttno I v. l i . i ' , l i . ll I Il!Cal lllS Urb:l ,C"' beeil arrested or dispersed, and every well disposed pr son is now enabled orijej moro to devote himself in pciee to the pursuit of prosperous industry, for the prosecution f which ho undertook to p:trticip:ite in the settlement of tho Territory.) It affords me unminided satisfaction thus to announce the peaceful condition of things in Kansas; especially considering the means to which it was necessary to have recourse to the attainment of tho end namely; the employment of a part of the military force of the United States. The withdrawal of that force from its proper duty of defending the country against foreign foes or the savages of the frontier to cmploy for the suppression of domestic insurrection, is when thj exigency occurs a matter of the most earnest solicitude. On this occasion ot imperative necessity it has been done villi tlie best results, and my satisfaction in the attainment of such results by such means is greatly enhanced by tlie consideration that through the wisdom and energy of tho present Executive of Kansas, and the prudence, firmness and vigilance of tho military officer? on duty there.tranqnillity has been restored without one drop of blood having been shed in its accomplishment by the forces of fho United States. The restoration of comparative tranquillily in that Territory furnishes the means of observing calmly and appreciating at their just value the events which have occurred there, and tho discussion of which the Government of tho Territory has been the subject. We perceive that controversy, concerning its future domestic institutions, was inevitable that no human prudence no form of legislation no wisdom on the part of Congress could have prevented this. It is idle tobuppose that the particular provisions of their organic law were the curse of agitation. Those provisions were but tho occasion or pretext of an agitation which was inherent in tho nature of things. Congress legislated cn tho subject in such terms as wcro the most consonant with tho principle of our popular sovereignty which now underlies our government.

It could not hive legislated otherwise three hundred and nineteen dollars, incluwithout doing violence to another great' ding premium, has been discharged, redu-

principle of the constitution, tlio impresscriptiblo ri ,llt 0f cqualily of the several Suxt03. hcre 'rceii also that secperceive tional interests and party passions have been the great impediments to the salutary operation of the organic principles adopted, and the chief cause of the successive disturbances in Kansas, the assumption that because in the organization of the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas, Congress abstained from imposing restrictions upon them to which certain other Territories had been subject; therefore disorders occurred in the latter Territory, is emphatically contradicted by the fact that none have occurred in tho former Territory. The disorders were not the consequence in Kansas of the freedom of self-government conceded to that Territory by Congress, but of tinjust interference on the part of persons not inhabitants ot the Territory, such interference wherever it has exhibited itself by acts of insurrectionary character or of the obstruction to processes of law has been repelled or suppressed bv all the means which the Constitution and the laws placed in the hands of the Exec- j utive. In these parts of the United States, where bv reaso

IJut the people of the United States are themselves the allsufneL-nt guards of their own rights, and to suppose thai they will not remedy in duo season any such incidents of civil freedom is to suppose them to have ceased to bo capable of self government.

On the 1th of March, 1853, tho amount of the public debt was fdxty nine million one hundred and twenty nine thousand nine hundred and thirty seven dollars. On examining tho expenditure of the last five years, it will bo seen that tho average, deducting payments on account of tho pub lie debt and ten millions paid by treaty to Mexico, has been bat about forty eight million dollars. It is believed that under an economical Administration of tho Oovcrnmcnt, tlie average expenditures for the ensuing live years, yvill not exceed that sum unlcss an extraordinary occasion for its increase should occur. There was a subsequent increase of two million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars for debt of Texas, making a total of seventy ono million eight bundled and seventy nino thousand and thirty seven dollars.
