I ho rhunrroij m ulo in nnr rcronna crcbom by the acts of Congress of 1832 and 1333, and mme especially by the former, have veiled the receipts ot the present year far beyond the amount to be expected future year upon the reduced tariff of itdties. The shortened credits on reverse bonds, and the cash duties on woollens tiiiich weie introduced by the act of 1P32, md took effect on the 4th of March last, hnve brought large sums into the Treasury in 1833, which, according to the cred Its formerly given, would not have been payable until 1C34, and would have form ed a part of the income of that year. Thee causes would of themselves produce a great diminution of the receipts in the year 1834. as compared with the pre ent one; and they will be still more di mint-hed by the reduced rates of duties

letf ruination coUo enlarge the ir.cccse beyond the real necessities of the Govern ment, anfl not to increase the wants of the Government by unnecessary and profuse expenditures. If a contrary course should oe pursued, it may happen that the revenue of 1834, will tall short of the demands upon it: and after reducing the tariff in order to lighten the burdens of the pen

pie. and providing lor a still lurther reduction to take f fleet hereafter, it would be much to be deplored if, al the end of another year, we should find ourselves obliged to retrace our steps, and impose additional taxes to meet unnecessary expenditure?. It is my duty, on this occasion, to call your attention to the destruction of the public building occupied by the Treasury Department, which happened since the last adjournment of Congress. A thorough enquiry into the causes of this loss was di . . " . . rected and made at the time, ihe result of which will be duly communicatpd to you. I take pleasuie, however, in stating, here, that by the laudable exertions of the offi ceuof the department, and many ot the ;citizens ot the District, but few raiers were lost, and none that will materially affect the public interest i-r . . . .... I he public convenience requires that ;another buildintr should be erected as ' m attempting to influence the elections of 1 of Directors au'honsed the same cour6e to be pursued in future. , It being thus established by unquestionin!at ,p l'I0l 'hat the Bank of the United States was converted into a permanent electioneering engine, it appear d to me that the path of duty which the executive department of the Government ought to purBu, was not doubtful As by the terms of the bank charter, no officer but the Secretary of the Treacury could remove the depositee, it seemed to me that this authority ought to be at ooce exerted to deprive that great corporation of the support and countenance of the Government in such an use of its funds, and such an exertion of its power. In this point of the case, the question is distinctly pre nted. whether the people ot the United ofP,e corporation are to re secieny ex erted to influence their judgment, and control their decisions. It must now be aiits accommodations, more rapid than any eaiergeocy requites, and even while it retains specie to an aim st unprecedented amount in its vaults, it ia attempting to produce great etnbai raasment ia one por-ti-;u ol the comrnuuily, while, througb presses Lnown to have beeu sustaioed tiy i!s tnouey, it attempts, by unlouuded alarms, to create a panic in all. The-e are the means by which it eeems to expect thai it can force a realoraliou ot the depos-ites, Mn I, as a necessary consequence, elort irom Cougress a renewal ot its charier. I am happy to ki.ow that, through the good Beise ol our people, the efloil lo get u, a panic has hilherlo tailed, and that, through the uicieased accomm odations which the State banl9 Ave been enabled to a fiord, no public distiess tuts lodoweI the exertions of the bank; ind it cannot be doubted thai the exercise of us power, and the expenditure of its

groundless alarm, will fee met, and rebuked as they deserve. In my own sphere of duty, 1 should feel myself called on by the facts disclosed, to order a ctre facias against the bank, with a view to put an end to the chartered rights it has eo palpably violated were it not that the charter itself will expire as goon as a decision would probably be obtained from the court of last resort .

I called the attention of Congress to this subject in my last annual message, and informed them that such measures as were within the reach of the Secretary of the Treasury, had been taken to enable him to judge, whether the public depositea in the Bank ot the United btates were eo tirely safe; but that as his single powers might be inadequate to the object, I recommended the sobiect to Congress as worthy of their serious investigation; declaring it a- my opinion, that an inquiry into the transactions of that institution, embracing the Branches as well as the principal Bank, was called for by the credit whih was given throughout thecoun try fo many serious charges impeaching ih ir character, and which, ii true, might justly excite the apprehension that tbey were no longer a pale depository tor the public money. The extent to which the examination, thus recommended, w as gone into, i9 spread upon y our journals, and is too well known to requite to be stated. Such as was made, resulted in a report from a majority of the Committee of Ways and Means touching certain specified points only, concluding with a resolu tion that the Government deposites might safely be continued in the Bank cf the United States. This resolution was adopted at the close of the session, by the vote of a majority of the House of Representatives. Although I may not always be able to concur in the views of the public interest, r the duties of its agents which may he taken bv the other departments of the Government, or either of its branches, I am, notwithstanding, wholly incapable of receiving, otherwise than with the most sincere, respect, all opinions or suggestions proceeding from such a source; and in respect to none am. I more inclined to do 6o than to the House of Representa tives But it will be seen from the brief views at this time taken of the su'j'Ct by myself, as well as lhe more ample ones presented by the Secretary of the i reasury, that the change in the deposites which has been ordered, hag been deemed to he called for by consideration- which are not affected by the proceedings referred to, and which, if correctly viewed by that department, rendered its act a matter of imperious duty. Coming, as you do for the most part, immediately from the people and the States, by election, and possessing the fullest opportunity to know their sentiments, the present Congress will be sin cerely solicitous to carry into full and fair effect the will of their constituents in re. gard to this institution, it will be for those ia whose behalf we all act, to de cide whether the Executive Department of the Government, in the steps which it has takeu on this subject, has been found in the line of its duty The accompanying report of the Sec retary of War, with the documents annexed to it, exhibit the operation- ef the War Department for the past year, and the condition of the various subjects entiuaed to its administration . it will be seen fiom them that the army maintains the character it has heretofore acquired for efficiency and military knowledge Nothing has occui red since your last session to require its services beyond the ordinary routine of duties, which upon the sea board and the inland Irontier devolve upon it in a time of peace. The system, so wisely adopted aod so long pursued, of constructing fortifications at exposed points, and of preparing and collecting the supplies necessary for the military defence of thecountry, arid thus providently furnishing in peace the means of defence in war, has been continued with the usual results. I recommend to your consideration the various subjects suggested in the report of the Secretary of War. Their adoption would promote the public service, and meliorate the condition of the army. Our relations with the various luJian tribes have been undisturbed since the .juuai.on or u,e uimcuuies growing oui ot the hostile aggressions ofthe Sacs and

r"uT,1 several treaties nave ueenibeen made if) lQat hranch ot 8Cience, show

(ornieo tor ine relinquishment ot territory to the United States, and for the migra tion of the occupants to the region assigned for their residence west ofthe Mississippi. Should these treaties be ratified by the Senate, provision will have been made for the removal of almost all the tribes now remaining east of that river, and for the teiminatiou of many difficult and embarrassing questions arising out of their anomahus political condition It is to be hoped that those portions of two of the suuthern tribes, which, in that event, will present the only remaining difficulties, will realize the necessity of emigra tion, and will speedily resort to it. Aly original convictions upon this subject have been confirmed by the course of events for several yeurs, and experience is every day adding to their strength. That those tribes cannot exist, surrounded by our settlements in and continual contact tilth our citizens, is certain. They have neither the intelligence, the industry, the moral habits, nor the desire of impiove ment which are essential to any favorable change in their condition.

appear. Such has been their fate heretofore, and if it is to be averted, and it is, it can only be done by a general removal beyond our boundary, and by the re-organ ization ot their political system upon principles adapted to the new relations in which they will be placed. The experiment which has been recently made, ha9 so far proved successful The emigrant generally are represented to be prosper ous and contented, the country suitable to their wants and habits, and the essential articles of subsistence easily procured. When the report of the commissioners, now engaged in investigating the condi tion and prospects of these Indians, and in devising a plan for their intercourse and government, is received, I trust ample means of information will be in possession ofthe Government for adjusting all the uneettled questions connected with this interesting subject The operations of the navy duriog the year, and its present condition, are fully exhibited in ihe aunual report from the Navy Department. Suggestions are made by the Secretary of various improvements, which deserve careful consideration, and most of which, if adopted, bid fair to promote the effi ciency of this important branch of the public servive Among these aie the new organization of (he Navy Board, the revision ot the pay to officers, and a change in the period of time, or in the manner of making the annual appropriations, to w hich I beg leave to call your particular attention. The view which are presented on almost every portion of our naval concerns,

It will he perceived, from the report referred to, that the fiscal concerns ofthe establishment are in an excellent condition; and it is hoped that Congress may feel disposed to make promptly every suitable provisions desired either for pre serving or improving the system The General Post Office Department has continued, upon the strength of its own resource, to facilitate the means of communication between the various portions of the Union with increased activity The method, however, in which the accounts of the transportation of the mail has always been kept, appears to have presented an imperfect view of its expenses It has re cently been discovered, that, from the ear liest records ol the department, the annual statements have been calculated to exhibit an amount considerably short of the actual expense incurred for that service. These illusory statements, together with the expense of carrying into effect the law ofthe last session of Congress, establishing oew mail routes, and a disposition, on the part ofthe head ofthe department, to gratify the wishes of the public in the extension of mail facilities, have induced him to in cur responsibilities for their improvement!

beyond what the current resources of the;22176 department would sustain. As soon as he! bad discovered he imperfection of thej258Gl Prizes,

method, he caused an investigation to be made of its results, and applied the proper remedy to correct the evil. It became necessary for him to withdraw some of the improvements which he had made, to bung the expenses of the department within its own resources. These expen?e3 were incurred for the public good, and the public have enjoyed their benefit They are now hut partially suspenr ariid!!y suspended, and that,, where they may be discontiued with the least inconvenience to thecountry. The progressive increase in the income from postages has equalled the higheet expectations, and it affords demonstrative evidence of the growing importance and great utility of this department. The details are exhibited in the accompanying report from the Pogtmaster General. The maov distressing accidents which have of late occurred in that portion of our navigation carried on by the use of steam power, deserve the immediate and unremitting attention of the constituted authorities of thecountry. The fact that the number of those fatal disasters i9 constantly increasing, notwithstanding the great improvements which are everywhwre lnade ln ,ue machinery employed, amJ m the ,id a(Jvances whjcn have very clearly that they are in a great degree the lesult of criminal negligence on the part of those by whoa the vessels are navigated, and to whose care and attention the lives and property of our citizens are so extensively entrusted. That these evils may be greatly lessen ed , if not substantially removed, by means of precautionary aod penal legislation, seems to be highly probable; so far, therefore, as the subject can be regarded as within the constitutional purview of Congress, I earnestly recommend it to your ptompt and serious consideration. I would also call your attention to the views I have hetetofore expressed of the propriety of amending the Constitution in relation to the mode of electing the Preudent and Vice President of the United States. Regarding it as all important to the future quiet and harmony of the people that eveiy intermediate agency in the election of thee officers should be removed, and their eligibility should be limited to one term of either lour or six years, 1 cannot too earnestly iuvite your consideration of the subject. Trusting that your deliberations on all the topics of geueial interest to which I have adverted, aud sjch oibera as your more
