I might Content myself with a few Erece to that report in which Yon will Fin All the info Rontino required for your deliberation and decision. But the prs Mono importance of the subject to Tressen itself on my own mind that 1 cannot but Lay before you my views of Ibe measures which Are required Fot the Good and night also any for the Eutence of Tobii people. The life of a Republic lies certainly in the Energy virtue and intelligence of its citizens it Jug True but n Good Revenue is lilo of and organized govern Roant i met t you at a time the has voluntarily burdened iut of with k debt unprecedented in our in nails. Vast us is its , it fades Nwa Yinto nothing when compared with the countless blessings to Iii will be conferred upon on country Siml upon Rann the preserve Jitian of the nation s life. Now on the occasion n the meeting of Congress since the it turn of peace it is of the utmost importance. Inning rate a Juet policy which a Bill once be put in motion and which Ehn itself to Trio a who come i Flor us or its continuance. We must item it nothing less Linn the Complete Effic Crogent of the Fin Meul tent followed n state of civil we must Endeavor to apply the Perl left remedy to the deranged state the Curren and hot from devising n Lich without oppressive to in the a Ghi ill immediately begin to a reduction of the debt and if persisted in discharge it fully within a Denci Tely fined number of years. It is our first duty to prepare in Earnest for on recovery from the Ever increasing of in irredeemable currency without a Midden revulsion and yet without untimely procrastination. For tent we must each in our respective positions pre the Way. 1 bold it the duty of the executive to insist upon frugality in the expenditures and a sparing Economy is itself a great National resource. Of the bunks to which authority Baa been Issue notes secured by Bonds of the United states we May require the greatest moderation and prudence and the Law roust be rigidly enforced when its limits Are exceeded. We May each one of us counsel our a live and enterprising count Myrnen to be constantly on their guard to liquidate debt contacted in a paper currency Ond by conducting business As nearly As on a system of a Nib payments or abort credits to hold themselves prepared to re turn to the Standard of Gold and to Aid our in the prudent management of their monetary of fairs the Fotz devolves on us to diminish by Law the amount of paper Money now in circular Tion. Five years ago the Bank note circulation of the country amounted to not much More than two Hundred millions. The simple statement of the facts recommends More strongly than any words of mine could do he necessity of on restraining this expansion. The gradual reduction of the currency is the measure tent can save the of the country from disastrous Ca Ami ties and this can be a most imperceptibly accomplished by gradually funding the nations circulation Bee securities that May be made redeemable at the pleasure of the government. Our debt is doubly first in the actual wealth and still greater undeveloped resources of the country end nest in the character of on institutions. The most Otell Igent observers among political economists have failed to remark that the Public debt of a country is Safe in proportion As its people Are free that the debt of a Republic is the safest of nil. Of history confirms and establishes the theory is i firmly believe destined so giver in n still More Ignal illustration.

And Nek themselves ready to offer lives for the Public Good. Now in their turn the prop erty and income of the country should their just proportion of the Biden of Taza Tion while to our impost system to rough Means of which increased vitality is Loci dentally imparted to All the Industrial inter ests of the nation the duties Sho Lii be it lusted As to fall Moat heavily on articles of luxury leaving the necessities of life As free from tax nation a the absolute wants o the govern Jenot economic Ohy administered will justify. Should de mind Freedom from assessment and the taxes should be so distributed As not to fat unduly on the poor but rather on the acc mule cd wealth of the country. We Shouh look at the notional debt just As it not As it National Blessing but As a heavy b Den on the Industry of the Coaklry to. Be without unnecessary delay. It is estimated by the Secretary of the trea sury that the expend Itu res for the Fisca year ending Ibe 80th of june 1865, will Recd the in Ceil s 11 it is Gratifying however that it is also Emit Mnew be Revenue for the rear ending the Soto of june 1867.will i acc eur the in the sum of this Amon not or Roi Nuth As my be deemed Sui Licien for the purpose Matiy be Applit Dio the reduction of the Public debt a bib on the 31st any of october 1865, was every reduction will diminish the total amount on interest to be paid an j to to Inge the Means of still further reductions until the whole Small be liquidated and this As will be seen from the estimates of the Sucre try of the Treasury May be accomplished y a Nouita Fri Trio a period not exceeding thirty years. 1 Ihne Faith tent we buil do nil this Wilbin a reason Abr time tent a we Bave amazed the world in the suppression of r civil War Iii be was thought to be beyond the control of any government so we will to Sunlly t superiority of our by the prompt and faithful discharge of our a Ionel obligations.

Receive from the Powers in that Region ass Arauso of Good end it is worthy o note a special envoy Gas of condolence on the Deaibe of our late chief magistrate from the Bey of Tunis whose Rule includes the old dominions o Carthage on the african coast. Our Domestic contest now happily ended has left some traces in our relations with one at of the great Powers. The formal accordance of belligerent rights to the insurgent Stata was unprecedented and has not been justified by the Issue. But in the systems of neutrality pursued a the Powers which made that there was a marked difference. The a serials of War for the insurgent states were furnished in a great Mea Enre from to workshops of great Britain British ships manned by British subjects and pre pared for receiving British armaments sniped from the ports of great Britian to make War on Teie rican under the shelter of a commission from the Asur stated. These ships having once escaped from British ports Ever afterwards entered them to every part of the world to refit and to to renew their depredations.

The very Power whose subjects Tad created the necessity for such a change. These events took place before i was called to the administration of the govern ment. The sincere desire for peace by which i bad animated red me to approve he proposal already made to submit the questions which bed thus Arisen Between he two court rates to these questions Are of such moment tha1 hey most have commanded the attention of the great end Era so interwoven with the peace and interest of every one of to have insured an impartial Deci Sion. I regret to inform Yon that great Britain declined Ibe arbitrage it butt on he other hand invited us to the formation of a joint commission to Settle Mutual Inions Between the two countries from which those of the depredations before mentioned should be excluded. The proposition a that very unsatisfactory form. Ice been declined. The United states did not Preot this object As an impeachment of the Good Alth of a Power which was professing the most Fri idly dispositions but a involving of Public in of which the set Lemert is essential to the peace of a nation find although pecuniary reparation to their a Jared citizens would have followed Inci Lent Fly of a decision a gains steal Britain compensation was oot their primary they had a higher motive and it was in the interests of peace and Justice to establish important principles of International Low.

Since those times we have advanced i wealth and.

W should regard it As a great calamity to ourselves to the cause of Good govern meat i and to the peace of the world should any european Power cd avenge the american people As it were to the defense of republicanism against foreign interference.
