currency as long as government Banks
continue to issue irredeemable notes with
chances of circulation with depreciated
paper. Notwithstanding the coinage of
our mints siace 18 K. of $74,00(r,000,
the people arc now stranprevs to the cur
rency which was designed for their use
and benefit, and specimens of the precious
metals bearing the national device are
seldom seen, except when produced to
gratify the interest excited; by their nov
elty. If depreciated paper is to be
continued as the permanent currency of
the country, and all our coin is to become
a mere article of traffic aild speculation,
to the enhancement iu price of all that
appertains to the comfoit jot' the people,
it would be wise economy jto abolish our
mints, thu saving the nation the care
and expense iuciduist to such establish
ments and to let all our precious metals
bo exported in bullion. jThe time has
come, however, when tho Government
and national banks should be required to
take the most efficient steps and make all
necessary arrangements for a resumption
of specie payments. Let specie payments
once more be earnestly inaugurated by
the Government, and bants and the value
of the paper circulation would directly
approximate a specie btacdard. Specie
payments having been resumed by the
Government and banks, all notes or bills
of papers issued by cither of a les3 de
nomination than 820, should, by law, bo
excluded from circulation so that the peo
ple may have the bentCt of a gold and
silver circulation which in all their trans
actions will be uniform in value at home
and abroad. Every man of property and
industry, every man who desires to pro
serve what he honestly possesses or to
obtain what he can honestly earn, has a
direct interest in. maintaining such a cir
culating medium as shall be real and sub
stantial, and not liable to evaporate with
opinion, and not subject Jo be blown up
or down by the breath of (speculation, but
to bo made stable and secure. A dis
ordered currency is one j of the greatest
political evils. It undermines the virtues
necessary for the support of the social
system and encourage propensities de
structive of it own happiness. It wars
against industry, frugality and economy,
and fosters an evil spirit c-f extravagance
and speculation. It has been asserted
by one of our profound j statesmen, that
of all contrivances for cheating the labor
ingclassos of mankin J,Tione have been more
effectual than that which deluges them
with paper currency. This is the most American
effectual of inventions to fertilize the rich condition
man's fields by the sweat of the poor man's
brow. Ordinary tyranny, oppression by
excessive taxation, bear lightly i on the
happiness of the community, compared
with a fraudulent currency and the rob
beries, committed by a depreciated paper.
Our own history has recorded for our
instruction enough, and more than enough
of the demoralizing tendency of the in
justice and the intolerable oppression on
the virtuous and well disposed by de
graded paper currency. J Authorized by
the law, or in any way countenanced by
-the Government, it is one of the most
successful devices in times of peace or
war, to accomplish the transfer of all the
precious metals from the great mass of
the people into the hands of a few, when
they arc hoarded in secret places, or de
posited under bolts, and bars, while the
people are left to endure all the incon
veniences, sacrifices and demoralization
resulting from the use of depreciated and
worthless paper.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
No important question has occurred
' during the last year to mar our accus
tomed cordial and friendly intercourse
with Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honolulu,
San Salvador, France, Austria, Belgium,
Switzerland, Portugal. The Netherlands,
Denmark, Sweeden and Norway, Greece
Turkey, Persia, Egypt, Liberia, Morocco,
Tripoli, Tunis, Muscat, Siam, Borneo and
Madagascar. Cordial relations ' have
been maintained with the Argentine and
the Oriental Republics. J The expressed
wish ol Congress that our national good
offices might be tendered to these Repub
lics and also to Brazil and Paraguay for
, bringing to an end the war which has so
long been raging in the! valley of the La
Platta has been assiduously complied with
and kindly acknowleged by all the bellig
erents. J These Importat negotiations
have been thus far j without result.
Charles A. Washburnej late U. S. Minis
ter to Paraguay, having resigned, -and
being desirous to return to the United
States, the Rear Admiral commanding
the South Atlantic Squadron, was ordered
to send a ship of war to the Capital of
Paraguay to receive Washburne and his
, family and remove them from a situation
which was represented to be dangerous
from the factions and foreign war.
The -Brazilian commander of the allied
invading forces refused permission to the
Wasp to pass through the blockading
fleet, and that vessel returned ; to its ac
customed anchorage. Remonstrance hav
ing been made against thw refusal, it was
promptly overruled, and the Wasp there
upon resumed her jerrand, receiving
v"W ashburne, and convoyed him and his
family to a safe and convenient port. In
tho meantime an excited controversy had
arisen between the President of Para
guay and the late U. S. Minister, which",
it is understood, grewjout of his proceed
ings in giving asylum in the U. S. Lega
tion to alledged enemies of that Repub
lic. The question of j the Tight to give
asylum is one always j difficult to deter-
- . mine, and often productive of great em
barrassment. Id States well organized
- Vj and established, foreign powers refuse
either to concede or exercise' that right,
except to persons actually belonging to
the diplomatic; service. On the other
hand, all such persona insist upon: exer
cising the right of asylum in States where
the law of nations is not I fully - acknowl
edged, respected and obeyed. The Pres
ident of Paraguay is understood to have
been opposed to VV ashpurne s proceed
,. 'i he injur tors and vvrv iir.pn-b. .!;
charge is uii.de of puraoual complicity iu j
insurrection and treason.' Tho corres
pondence, however, has not yet reached
the United States. Washburne, iu con
nection with this controversy, represents
that United States citizens, attached to
the Legation, wero arbitrarily seized at
hi side, when leaving the capital of
Paraguay, committed to prison and there
subjected to torture for tho purpose of
procuring a confession of their own crim
inality and tcstimouy to support the pres
ent allegation against the United States
Minister. Mr. Mcmahcn, the newly ap
pointed Minister to Paraguay, having
reached tho L-iplotta, has been instructed
to proceed without delay to Ascunsion to
investigate the whole subject. The Rear
Admiral commanding the United States
South Atlantic squadron has been direct
ed to attend the new- Minister with a
proper naval force to sustain just such
demands as the occasion5 may require,
and to vindicate the rights of tho United
estates citizens reierreil to, and or any
others who may be exposed to danger at
tne lueatre ot war. VV ith ttiese excep
tions, friendly relations have been main
taiued between tho United States and
Brazil and Paraguay. Our relations dur
ing the past year with Bolivia, Ecuador,
Peru and Chile, have been especially
triendly and cordial. Spain and the Ke
publics of Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador,
have expressed their willingness to ac
cept the mediation of the United States,
for tcruiinatiDir the war upon the South
Pacific coast. Chile has not finally de
clarcd upon the questions. In the mean
time, the conflict has practically exhaust
cd itself, since no belligerent or hostile
movement has been made by either party
during the last two years, and there are
no indications of a present purpose to re-
sumo hostilities on either side. Great
l-rnaiu ana trance nave cordially sec
onded our proposition of mediation, and
I do not forego the hope that it may soon
be accepted by all the belligerents, and
lead to a secure establishment of peace
and friendly relations betweeu the Spanish-American
Republics of the Pacific
and Spain, a result which would bo at
ix advantage to all com
IlepubUcs, upon
ot voluntary rej
correspondence submitted will bo found
painfully replete with accounts of the
ruin and wretchedness produced by the
recent earthquake of unparalleled severity
in the Republics of Peru, Ecuador and
Bolivia. The diplomatic agents and
naval officers of the United States, who
were present in theso countries at the
time of the disasters, furnished all the
relief in their power to the sufferers, and
were promptly rewarded with grateful
and touching acknowledgments by the
Congress of Peru. An appeal to the
charity ot our ieilow-citizens has been
answered by much liberality. In this
connection, I submit an appeal which has
been made by the Republic, whose Gov-
t j our jovvn co Jbiry, or . to lea J , tvou a
moral support to the efforts they ; arcso
resolutely and constantly making to secure
republican institutions for themselves.
It is indeed a question ot grave conside
ration whether our recent and present
example is not calculated to check the
Towth and expansion ot these principles
and luakc these communities distrust if
not dread a Government which at will
consigns to military domination States
that are part of our Federal Union, and
while ready to resist any attempt by other
nations to bring to this hemisphere the
monarchical institutions of Europe, as
sumes to establish over a large portion of
its people a rule more absolute, harsh and
tyrannical than any known to civilized
Powers. .

direction, 1 last year entered into a treaty
with tho Iving ot .Denmark tor the pur
chase of the islands of St. Thomas and
St. John on the be.t terms then attaina
ble, and with the express consent of tho
people of these islands. This treaty is
stiu under consideration in tne oenate, a
new 'covenant having been entered into
with Denmark, enlarging the time fixed
for the final ratification of the original
treaty. A comprehensive national policy
would seem to sanction the acquisition
and incorporation into our Federal Union
of the several adjacent continental and
insular communities as speedily as it can
be done peacefully, lawfully and without
any violation ot national justice, taith or
honor. , Foreigu possessions or control of
these, communities has hitherto hiudered
their growth and impaired the. influence
of the United States. Chronic revolution
and anarchy there would be equally inju
rious. Each of them, when firmly estab
lished as an independent Republic, or
when incorporated in tho United States,"
would be a new source of strength and
power. Shaping my Administration to
these, principles, I have on no occasion
lent support to the plea or republican
propagandism or national extension or
aggrandizement. The necessity, how
ever, of suppressing such uulawful move
ments, clearly indicates a duty which
rests upon us cf adapting our legislative

The Mexican Government has noticed
the three treaties negotiated here last
summer for establishing the
naturalized citizens upon a liberal and
just basis, for regulating consular powers
and for the adjustment ot mutual claims
All commercial nations, as well as friends
of Republican institutions, have reason to
regret the frequent local ; disturbances
which occur in some of the States of Co
lumbia. Nothing has occurred, however,
to affect the harmony and cordial friend
ship which has, for several years, existed
between that youthful and vigorous Re
public and our own.
Negotiations are pending with a view
to the survey and construction of a ship
canal across the Isthmus of Darien, under
the auspices f the United - States. I
hope to be able to submit the result of
these negotiations to the Senate during
the present session. The very liberal
treaty which .was entered into last year
by the United States with Nicaragua has
been ratified by the latter Republic.
Costa Rica, with the earnestness of a
friendly neighbor, solicits a reciprocity of
trade which I commend to the considera
tion of Congress. The convention caused
by the treaty between the United States
and Venzuela, in July, 1865, for the mu
tual adjustment of claims, has been held
and communications have been received
at the Department of State that the here
tofore recognized law having been impart
ed under circumstances which promise
durability, it has been recognized. I
have been reluctantly obliged to ask ex
planation and satisfaction for injuries
committed by the President of the Re
public of Hayti. The political condition
of Hayti and St. Domingo is very unsat
isfactory and painful. The abolition pf
slavery which has been carried into effect
throughout . the ; island and the; entire:
West Indies, except the Spanish islands!
of Cuba and Porto Rico, has been , to!
lowed by a profound . popular conviction
ot tne rigntruiness 01 repuDiican msuiu
tions. and an intense desire to secure
them. The attempt to establish republics!
there encounters many obstacles, most of
which may result from a long indulgence
of colonial supineness , and dependence
upon Jdiuropean monarchical powers
vv nue the United states has on all ooca-j
sions professed a decided unwillingness
that any part ot this continent or' of its
adjacent islands shall be made a theater
for a new establishment of monarchical
power, little has been done by the United
states on the other hand ' to attach the
Miommunities by which we are surrounded
an acre more extended 'than our conti
nent, but the conviction is rapidly gain
ing ground in the American mind that
with increased facilities j for communica
tion between all portions of the earth,
the principles or iree government, em
braced in our Constitution, if faithfully
maintained and carried out, would prove
of sufficient strength and breadth to com
prehend, with their sphere and influence,
the civilized nations of the world
: The attention of the Senate and Con
gress is again respectfully called to tho
treaty for the establishment of commer
cial reciprocity with the Hawaiian King
dom, entered into last year and already
ratified by that government. The atti
tude of the United States towards these
Islands is not very different from that in
which it stands towards the West Indies
It is known and felt by the Hawaiian gov
ernment and people that their government
and institutions are feeble and precarious,
and that the United states being so near
a neighbor, would be unwilling to see the
Islands pass under foreign c.ntrol. Their
prosperity is continually disturbed by ex
pectations and alarms of unfriendly polit
ical proceedings as well from the United
States as from other foreign powers. A
reciprocity treaty, while it would not na
tionally diminish , the revenues of the
United States, would be a guaranty 01
good will and forbearance of all nations
until the people ot the islands shall ot
temsclves, at no distant day, voluntarily
apply for admission mio the Union.
The Emperor of Russia has - acceded
to the treaty negotiated here in J anuary
last tor security ot trademarks and in
the interests of manufacturers and com
merce have invited his attention to ' the
importance ot establishing now, while it
seems easy and profitable, a fair and equal
regulation of the Islands belonging to the
Nations in the waters of the Pacific ocean.
; The two treaties between the United
States and, Italy, for the regulation of
Consul powers andl the extradition of
criminals, negotiated j and ratified -her
during the last session of Congress, have
been accepted and confirmed bit the Ital
ian, Government. A liberal
treaty which has been - negotiated with
Belgium, will be submitted to the Senate.
j The very important treaties which were
negotiated between the United States and
North Germany and Bavaria, for guard
ing the rights , of naturalized citizens
here, have been duly ratified and con
firmed. Similar treaties have been en
tered into with tho Kingdoms of Bel
gium, Wurtemburg and tho Grand Duohy
of Baden and of Hesse, and' I hope soon
to be able to submit equally satisfactory
conventions of the same character, new
ini eourse of negotiation with the Govern-'
' monta of Spain, Italy and - the Ottoman
hope of being able to lay before the Sen
ate for its consideration, during the pres

Chinese government upou the liberal and
auspicious treaty which was recently cele
brated with its plenipotentiaries at this
Capital. j
Japan remains a theatre or civil war,
marked by religions incidents and politi
cal severities peculiar to that long isolated
place. The Executive has hitherto main-
tamed strict neutrality among the belli
gerents, and acknowledges with pleasure
that it has been frankly and fully sustain
ed in' that course by the enlightened con
currence and co-operation of the other
treaty powers, namely: Great Britain,
1' ranee, 1 he Netherlands, iNorth Germany
ana Italy.
Spain having recently undergone a
revolution marked by extraordinary
unanimity and preservation of orderj the

AMENDMENTS) TO THE CONSTITUTION.
I renew the recommendation contained
in my communication to Congress, dated
July last, a copy of which accompanies
this message, that the judgment of the
people should be taken on the propriety
of so amending tho Federal Constitution
that it should provide for an election of
President and Vice President by the di
rect vote of the people instead of turough
the agency of Electors, and of making
ineligible for a re-election to a sec
ond term: for distinct designation of the
person who shall discharge the duties of
President in the event ot a vacancy in
the event of a vacancy in that office by
death resignation or removal of (both
President and Vice: for the election of
Senator to the U. S. Senate directly by
the people ot the several States instead
ot by .Legislatures, and for the limitation
to a period of years of terms of the Fed
eral Judges. Profoundly impressed with
the propriety of making these important
modifications in the Constitution, I re
spectfully submit them for the early and
mature consideration of Congress, i We
should, as far as possible, remove all pre
texts tor a violation ot the organic, law
by remedying such imperfectness as time
and experience may develop, ever remem
bering that tho Constitution which at any
time exists until changed in an explicit
and authentic way, is the Constitution of
the whole people is sacredly obligatory
upon all." i
In the performance of the duty imposed
upon me by the Constitution, I have thus
communicated to Congress information of
the state of the Union and recommended
for their consideration such measures as
have seemed to be necessary and expedi
ent. If carried into effect it will be the
accomplishment 6f the great purpose by
tvhich the Constitution was ordained,
which it comprehensively states, was to
form a more perfect Union, establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro
vide for the common good and the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our posterity. In Con
gress are vested all legislative powers,
and upon them devolves the responsibility
as well for framing unwise and excessive
laws as for neglecting to demise and adopt
measures absolutely demanded by the
wants of the country. Let us earnestly
hope that before tho expiration of our
terms of service now rapidly drawing to
a close, an All-wise Providence will so
guide our counsels as to strengthen and
eserve the Federal Union, (insure
erence for the Constitution, restore
sperity and happiness to our j whole
odIo and nromote on earth peace and
ood will towards men. I
