' Pollowing-lhis, we imve a statement of the condition of our foreign relations’, of which the salient points'presented/are ths ponding, questions with Great Britain lo rogard to tho fisheries aud tho colonist trade, and in regard to Central America ; our relations irith Spain,, especially as re- gardii Cubs; the Kos*ta Cotrtwersy; th# missions to China and Japan; our offafra with Jlexico auk Cfiotral Amorie!<7tko no- - gotiation with Brasil for opening the navi- gation of tlio Amazon: and tboao. withtS'o- ru ns to tho guano trade, and the difficulty at the Chinch^ IslaBda. There is what may be thought by some a very signifia&fc 'Silenco as to* certain known or supposed particulars of our foreign policy, Tho Message thon proceeds to indieattr the faot of tho. definitive settlement of all the great domestic questions which havet heretofore divided thfe ooontiy, as afTording^ inducement and opportumty for the adop- tion now of a moro comprehensive lia r o f policy, auoh as the present greatness *nd .- power of the Union demand; and cmphiit ically dwolls ou the righto ofthe individual States as tho palladrani of tho growth and stability of tho United Stales. 'Next, the message exhibits the condi tion of thp Treasury, with its daily' in creasing surplus revenue, nnd avows, ia viow of this fact,- tho policy, Jiret, of p.iy tug off tho publio debt as fast as possible; snd sebomlly. o f bringing tho revenue down* to tho standard ofthe public wants, b y re- dueiug tho rate of duly on some articles, and hy adding tothe freo list. In eoming to tho Army and Navy, ths message recommends unequivocally tb? e*- largement o f both, as imperatively required by the present expansion and other exigea- cies of the Union. In regard to the Post Office, theinstruo- tive fact appears, that its roe'eipts fall short fit ita expenditures by 82,000,000, owing iii gfeni part to the large sums paid for tbo convcyanca of the mail hy railroad# and steamships. . The message exhibits in detail tho prog- ressof survey aind sale ofthe publio land?. It adopts and approves the existing System as to the national ‘domain, 'and recom mends its estenBion to Utah and New \Jleaieo. It refers to grants of public lands- in aid of the construction of roads, as re quiring to ho regulated by the considera tion of th? interests t f the United States as a proprietor represented by Gongfest. Important changes are specially recom mended in tbe\judicial system of the Uni ted States. •* But the most notable part oftho me*, sago, is that which treats at some length of the question of internal improvements as tliey are commonly, but loosely called ; that o f the proposed railway from the Mis sissippi to tho Pacific; and that of tbe measures adopted in the year 1850, fortbe termination of tho coutritversiea attending the organization of the\ new territory ac quired from Mexico. - • ' Iti omitting to ask of Congress the ft* 'vorsblo consideration, o f estimates for a va riety of harbor improvements aud other lo cal works of a similar character, the Presi- i dent, after forcibly presenting the objec tions o f a general nature to this class of expenditures, the absence of any definite system on the suhjeot, and tho doubtful nd- vajitage of much wbioh hts bwn kOretofore done in this direction, invites V deliberate ro-exammation ofthewbole question, iutho hops of Congress iii its wisdom devising some solution of it satisftotory to die coun try.
