It also presents evidence oi I. he successful operations of the Home--teal Act, under the provisions of which 1,1; höih acres of public lands were cutered during the last fiscal year more than one fourth of the whole number of acres sjhl or otherwise ili?poed of during that period. It is estimated that the receipts derived from this source are sufficient to cover ihc expenses incident to the survey and disposal of the lands entered under this Act, and that payments in e.uh to the extent of from forty to fifty per cent, will be made by settlets, who may thus at anytime ac.-juirc title before the expiration of the period at which it would otherwise vest. The homestead policy was established only after long and earnest rc.-isience : experience proves its wisd nn. The lands, in the hand.' of industrious settler., whose labor creates wealth and contributes to the public resources, arc worth more to the United Stale- than if they had been re served as a solitude for future purchasers.

I might content myself with a reference to that rcpo:, in which you will find all tho information required fur your deliberations aud decisiou. But the paramount importance of the subject po pressed itself ou my mind, that I cannot lay before yen my views of the measures which are required for the good character, and, 1 might almost Kay, for ihc exhneue of this people. The life of the republic lies certainly ia ths energy, virtue and intelligence of its citizens; hat it is equally true that a good revenue system is the lif. of an organized govern meat. I rjcj you at a time when the nation has voluntarily burdened itself with a debt unprecedented iu our anwals. Va:t as is its amount, it fades away into nothing when compared with the countless blcssin; s that will bo conferred upon man, by the preservation of the nation's life. Now, on tho first oc casion of the meeting of Uougrc-ss siucc the return of peace, it is of the utt:ost importance to inaugurate a jurt policy, which i-hall at once be put in motion, Ami whhh shall commend iUelfto these who cou.o üft.r us ihr its eoatiuuui.ee.
