The two leading principles of his administration, which lie at the foundation of our futute prosperity as a nation, have been asseited by him in the discharge of his duties, in a manner which shows that he loves his country more than he fears the loss of power, orlhe efforts ol disap pointed cupidity and ambition. I allude to the payment of the National Debt, and the restraining of the power ol Congress within the limits plainly marked ou! by the compact between the States His veto upon the Maysulle road bill, the firkt of a series of measures for Internal Improvement projected for the sanction of ' ongtessand estimated to cost oore than ninety ix millions of dollars, will

remain upon record a durable monument '

of his correct views ol public policy and constitutional rights as well as of his t.cral coutagc and uncompromising pa triotim Our foreign relations are amicable, and wc have no reason to apprehend a speedy iupure with any nation "Enjoying, as wc do, a high degree ol happiness under our free institutions, we cannot be insensible to the influence ot our example upon the people of other countries, nor unmoved by their efforts to assimilate their governments to our own The iate Spanish colonies at the South, having achieved their indepen dence,are yet violently convuised by cf torts to organize their governments upor. principles, and with modifications, which will ensure for them permanent tranquil lity. 1 he recent revolutionary move mems in France afford a bright hope, that this rid ion, distinguished or hero ism and science, vividly associated with t ic recoliecii'jns ol ourea ly struggle for independence, and endeared to us by so many ties, has at las' found relief from an arbitrary abi idgement of individual rights, iu the full establishment of the auihoritv o he people The people under ou' EoioDc-an sovereignties, seem

stirred by bordering commotions; and we ha'? leason to believe that in the progren of light and knowledge, we, now the youngest of nations, wih, at no distant period be hailed as the elder bio thtr of legitimate governments It be comes us, for our own uoodas well as for the cause of struggling humanity, to manifest to the wot Id tha a republican government, firmly based upon the will of a well instructed and virtuous people, is the most just and enduring, and ex empt from thoe disturbing ar.d destroy ing factions, which tond to anarchy and terminate in despotism On the proposed dis rihu.iun of the

suqvus revenue of tho U. States, Gov. I'hroop says: In reference to the subject of revenue and inieinal ioprovenens, I submitted to the consideration ot the last legisla lui e, the propriety of taking me asures to procure a dUtribu ion of the surplus rev enue of tn United States i he same suggestion was made by the President to Congress, in his first message, and has been renswed by him in his iatc communication to that body. I find also that one of my most distinguished predeces sors alluded to the same subject in his message in 1827 I esteem it of suffi cient impo tancc to renew the sugges tion, and press it earnestly upon your csnsidcration. We have the tulle9t assurance, that the President will steadily adhere to his duett ines regarding the power of y ongress over roads and canals, so that the payment of the national dept, except the three per cents, will be provided for within three years. "At the adoption of the federal con stitutton, it was deemed proper to piace all the revenues derived from customs at the disposal of the general government Inasmuch as that government assumed the payment of the public debt, and was charged with our "oreicn relations, the

amount of las upon himself, and pays in proportion to his means, by the consump

tion of those articles of foreign produc

tion upon which the duties are levied. "It is, at least, questionable, whether there are not sound objections f a mere distribution of the surplus revenues Among these may oe reckoned the un certainty of the amount, which changes in the tariff rates may occasion; ar:d the withholding cf divisions entirely, in national emergencies, demanding extraordinary expenditures. The contingent nature of the supply might prevent the States from engaging in enterprises of magnitude, or produce embarrassment, should they be undertaken This miht be remedied by providing that a fixed sum shall be annually distributed The amount of that sum might br such as not to interfere with the leduction of the present tariff of duties, should the public interest at any lime requite it. Population is cbviously ,the true bash ot distribution, inasmuch as the money would by that rule return to those who contributed it. Our State contains more than a seventh of the population of the Union, and our proportion of seven mil lions would be an annual quota of one million But if three millions five hundred thousand dollars only should be dis tributcd, our proportion would be the interest at five per cent, of ten millions of dollars, and would support our credit In' internal improvements to a large a mount This sum would be an indirect ax of twent five cents upon each indi vidual in the State, paid bv those who consume foreign productions."
