benilicent policy, so auspiciously resumed, will be continued. Great care should be taken, however to commence no work which is not of sufficient importance to the commerce of the country to be viewed as national in its character. But works which have been commenced should not be discontinued until completed, as otherwise the sums expended, will, in most cases be lost.

The report from the Navy Department will inform you of the prosperous condition of the branch 'of the public service committed to its charge. It present* to your consideration many topics and suggestions of which I ask your approval. It exhibits an unusual degree of activity in the operations of the Department during the past year. The preparations for the Japan Expedition, to'which I have already alluded the arrangements made for the exploration and survey of the China Seas, the

Northern Pacific, the inhering*# Straits, the incipient measures taken towards a reconoisance of^the continent of Africa eastward of Liberia the preparation for an early examination of the River La ('lata, which a recent decrce of the provisional chief of the Argentine Confederation has opened to navigation all these enterprises, and the means by which they nre proposed to be accomplished, have commanded my full approbation, and, I have no doubt, will be productive of the most useful results.

Two officers of the navv were heretofore instructed to explore the whole extent of the Amazon river from the confines of Peru to its mouth. The return of one of them has placed in the possession of the Government an interesting and valuable account of the character «.nd resources of a country abounding in the material of commerce, and which if opened to the industry of the world, will prove an inexhaustable fund of wealth. The report of this exploration will be communicated to you as soon as it is completed.

Among other subjects offered to your notice by the Secretary of the Navy, 1 select for special commendation, in view of its connexion with the interests of the navy, the plan submitted by him for the establishment of a permanent corps of seamen, arid the suggestions he has presented for the reorganization of the Naval Academy.

In reference to the first of these,I take occasion to asy that 1 think it will greatly improve the efficiency of the service, nnd that I regard it as still more •entitled to favor for the salutary influence it must exert upon the naval discipline, now greatly disturbed by the increasing spirit of insubordination, resulting from our present system. The plan proposed for the organization of the seamen lurnUhes a judicious substitute for the law of September, 185'J, abolishing corporeal punishment, and satisfactorily xu.sittiiu the policy of that act, under conditions well adapted to maintain the authority of command tux! the order and security of our ships.

Ii is not believed that any change which proposes perniniiently to dispense with this mode of punishment, should be preceded by a system ol enlistment which hall supply the Navy with seamen of the must meritorious class, whose good deportment and pride of churricter may preclude all occasion fur a rerort to penalties of a har»h or degrading imt'ire. The safety «f a whip and her crew often dependant upon immediate obedience to a command, ami the authority to enforce it must be equally ready. The arrest ol a refractory seamen, iu such moments, not only deprives the ship ol indispensable aid, but imposes a necessity fr double service and others whose fidelity to their duties may be relied upon in audi an emergency.— The exposure to this increased and arduous labor, since the passage of the act «»f 1850, has already had, to a most observable and injurious extent, '.he effect of preventing thu enlistment of the best seaman in the nuvy. The plan now suggested is designed to pro mote a condition of service in which this objection will no longer exist. The details of this plan may be established in great part, if not altogether, by the Executive, under the authority of existing laws: but I have thought it proper, in accordance th the suggest- 1 ion of the Secretary of the Navy, lu submit it to your approval.

The establishment of a corps of apprentice* for the nnvy, or boys to be enlisted until they become of age, and lu be employed under such regulations as the N vv Department may dovise, as proposed in the repri I cordially approve and commend to your consideration: and I also concur in the suggestion that this system f.»r the early training ol seamcm may be most useful ly engraltetf upon the services ol our merchant marin«\

The other proposition of the report to which I have referred—tho reorganisation of the Naval Academy —I recommend to your attention as a project worthy of your encouragement and support. The valuable services already rendered by this institution entitle it to the continuance of your fostering care.

Your attention is respectluly colled to the report of the Postmns'er General for the detailed operation of his department during the last fiscal year, from which it will be seen that the receipts from postages for that time were less by ®l,43l.(5iKl than lor the preceding fiscal year, being a decrease of about 23 per

CThis diminution is attributable to the reduction in the rates of postage made by the act of March 3, 1851, which reduction took effect at the commencement of the last fiscal ear.

Although in it* operation during the last year, the act referred to hat not fulfilled tho predictions of it» friends by inereaaiog the correspondence of the country in proportion to the reduction of postage, I should, nevertheless, question the policy of returning lo higher rates. Experience warrants the expectation that the community becomes accustomed to cheap postage. correspondence will increase. It is believed that from this cause, and from the rapid growth of the country in population and business, the receipts of the Department must ultimately exceed its expenses, and that the country may safely rely upon the continuance of the present cheap rate of postage.

In former messages I have among other tilings, repeotfullv reccommended to the consideration of Congress"th« propriety and necessity of further legislation for the protection and punishment of foreign consuls residing in the United States: to revive with certain modifications the act of 10th March 1808, to restrain unlawful imlitaiy expeditions against tha inhabitants of conterminous Stales or territories: for the preservation and protection from mutilation or theft of tho papers, re

them to employ. It will be but a wise precaution

It has been the uniform policy of this Government from iti» foundation to the present day to abstain from all interference in the domestic affairs of other nations. The consequence has been that while the nations of Europe have been engaged in desolating wars, our country has pursued its peaceful course to unexampled prosperity and happiness. The wars tn which we have been compelled to engage, in defence of the rights and honor of the country, have been fortunately of short duration. During the terific contest of nation against nation which succeeded the French revolution, we were enabled by the wisdom and firmess of President Washington to maintain our neutrality. VVhite other nations were drawn into this wide sweeping whirpool, we sat quiet and unmoved upon our own shores While the flower of their numerous ar-

blessings of peace beneath the paternal roof.— While the Slates of l'.uropo incurred enormous debts, under the burden of which their subjects still groan, and which must absorb no small part of tha product of the honest industry of thosp countries lor generatious lo come, tho United S'.ates have once been enabled lo exhibit the proud spectacle ol" ft nation free from public debt and if permuted lo pursue our prosperous way lor a few years longer in peace, we may do the same again.

This is a most seductive but dangerous appeal! to tho generous sympathies of freemen. Enjoying its we do the blessings of a free government, there is no man who has an American heart that would not rrjuice to see these blessings extended to all other nniioii&. Wo cannot witness the struggle be-1 tween the oppressed and hia oppressor anywhere without the deepest sympathy for the former, and tho most anxious desire lor his triumph. Nevertheless. is il prudent or is il wise to involve ourselves in these foreign wars? Is it indeed irue that we have heretofore refrained from doing so merely from the degrading motive of a conscious weakness? For the honor of the patriots who have gone before us, I cannot admit it. .Men of the Revolution who drew the sword against the oppressions of the motner country, and pledged to Heaven "their lives, their Inriuncs, and their sacred honor" to maintain their freedom, could never have been actuated by so unworthy a my.tive. They knew no weakness or fear where right or duty pointed the way, and it is a libel upon their fair fame for us, while we enjoy the blessings for which they so nobly fought and bled, lo insinuate it.

The truth is thai the course which they pursued was dictated by a stern sense of international justice, by a statesmanlike prudence and a far seeing wisdom, looking not merely to to the present necessities but to the permanent' safely and interest ol the country. They knew that the world is governed less by sympathy than by reason and force that it was no! possible for this nation to become a "propagamlis"' of free ptinciples without arraying against it the combined powers of Europe and that the result was more likely to be the overthrow of republican liberty here than its establishment there. History has bjeu written in vain for those who can doubt this, rrauce *had no nponer established a republican form of government than she manifested a tiesire to force its blessings on all the world, tier own historian informs us that, hearing of some petty acts of tyranny in a neighboring principality,

The National Convention declared that she would afford succor and fraternity to all nations who wished to recover their liberty and she gave it in charge to the executive power to give orders to the generals of the Freuch armies to aid all citizens who might have been or should bo oppressed in ihe cause of liberty.*'

Here was the false alep which led to her subsequent tnUforluues. She soon found herself involved in war with ail the rest of Kurope. tn less than ten years her government was changed from a republic to an empire and finally, alter shedding riven of blood, foreign powers restored her exiled dynasty, and exhausted Kurope sought peace and repose in the unquestioned »sc-. tancy of monarchical principles. l*et us learn wisdoc. LTvm her example. Let us remember that revolutions do not always establish freedom. Our own free institutions were not t&e offspring rf otir Revolution. They existed before. Tbey were planted in the free characters of self government under which the English colonies grew up, and oar Revolution only freed us from the dominion of a foreign power, whose government was at variance with those institutions. But European nations have had no such training fori ee'f ..ovcrnmcnt, and every effort, to establish it by bk J-/ revolutions has been, aad must, without that preparation, continue to be a failure. Liberty, unregulated by law degenerates into anarchy, whteh soon becomes the most horrid of-all despotism. Our pot-! icy is wisely to govern ourselves and thereby to set. soch an example of uatktna) justice, prosperity, anti true g' -r. as sf teach to all nations the blessings: of set ivernm acd the unparalleled enterprise and success ol a free people*

We live in an age of progress, and ours Is etaphal icaiiy sjcoeatrv of progress. Within the last.half century the Riaatbet of States in this Union has nearly doobkd. the pop a has nearly quadrupled, and b—-idsries «»*i* «een extended form the Mmitipit Pacific. Our territory's sttequered over with railroads, aad fcrrowed over with canals.

Hut it is now said by some that this policy must be changed. Europe is no longer separated from us by a voyage of months, but steam navigation has brought her within a few days sail of shores. Wo see more of her movements take a deeper interest in her controversies ihougli no one proposes that we should join the ^Xl'y

fraternity of potentates who have for ages lavished

ihe blood and treasure of their subjects in main mining '-lli'tj balance of power," yet it is said we ought to interfere between contending sovereigns and their subjects, for the purpose of overthrowing the monarchies of Kurope and establishing in their places republican inslitulions.

Bellman, was attacked with a disease in ilie hip, more than three years ago, which rendered hcruillerly helpless tliat«h3 w.n compel led lo keep her hod. All hopes of her recovery wero despaired of. Some of the moet eminent phvsieians in Coilngintoii and Cinciiumii ultcii led her all or whom declared her c.fi«e a hopeless one.* Passing by Dr. Mow*'* depot nn idea »ugjfu*tod itself, thut to try one bottlo uf hi* Shiiker SHrswpiirillit could do no harm. Accordingly I |iurchnsed one bottle' nnd before its content? were entirely nsed she received benefit. I Wbs induced to try another, and aiiolli'-r before the last wai u«rd she hndnnarly recovoied. Now she hus no puin, can walk and has the entire use of her Umbo. To Howe's Sinker ^arsopsrllla wo attribute this effective cure. It is but a few mouths sluce *lir commencod taking il. (Signed,) J.

It purifies the blood and prevents Dlseas*! It is the only Forsaparitla that acts upon the Lirer, Kidneys and Blood at the *ume lime, which renders It altu. gether more valuable to every one purlfculiirly Fem ties.
