This advice proeenls from tho heart of an
old j u'dicfiinctioniiry, who-c service Conime.
ced in Inst generation of wiser and conserva
tive statesman of that day but he indulges in
no gloomy furt-bodiiiga. lie thinWn the ullair
at Harper's l'etry will be the mentis of allay
ing tho exiating excitement an J preventing
further outbreaks. Hi: cji diuMy cunratu'uit
e Congress on the tiu.il settlement by the
Supreme Court of the question of slavery in
tho territories. The light hus been etablirh
cd for every citiz-n to take his projerty of
any kind including s'nves, into tho ten itorie,
which beloiig equally to the whole confeder
acy and to have it protected there under the
Federal Constitution. Ii either Congress, nor
the territorial legirdnture, tor any luirpn
power bun any power to annul or iuipitir this
vested light. Tnus has the state of a Terr:
t iry during the iuteriuediuto period from its
first rvtlleim-ut until it beoonics ft State, been
irrevocably tiled by the final decisiou of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Ho then describe the mode of admission cf
a territory as a State into the L'uitn. It may
be admitted with or without slavery as their
constitution may dec ibe. This principle has
been recognized in the name form by the almost
unanimous vote of both houses of the last
Cong ess.
The Shu t Trade.
All lawful means at hisconimind have been
employed and will continue to bo employed
ngviiat the alave trade. Our biBtory proves
hut the fathers of the Republic, in advance of
ii H other nation, coudeiuueJ tho slave
trudo.
The Chinese Treaty.
Ratification of tho Chinese treaty have been
exchanged. Two supplimental oinventious
are, however, pttndirg relating to the rights
of Americans in Chiua- and the truiibit du
ties. Fureljn II luto.iw
Our diTioulties w ith l'araguny ure ?&tisfao

Russia and all continental governments, of
Kurope Spnin perhaps excepted continue to
bo ruust friendly.
Tho President recommends that fn appro
priation be made to meet the deraunds of tho
A mil-tail claimants.
His opinion in favor of tho acquisition of
Cuba by fair means remains unchanged; there
fore, ho again iav:ten tho seiiuus attention of
Congress to this important sutject.

lie had g-icd re i-on to believe, until recent
ly, that be would have been able to announce
our difficulties with Great liritiuu as fiually
adjusted, in a iu .nuor honorably catisfactory
to both pai tics. From cauies, however, which
Groat Iiritiun had not anticipated be had not
yet completed tho arrangements with Hondur
as and Nicaragua, in pursuance of the nuder
etanding of the two Governments. It is nev
ertheless, confidently expected this will shortly
be accomplish cd.
In relation to San Juan, ho entertained
doubt cf tha Talitity or our title. He was
happy to state that what was left to Con Scott's
discretion could not have been placed in better
hands. Oen. Bcott has successfully accom
plished his mission, and there was no longer
any reason to apprehend colliscu cf the re
spective forces during the pending of the ne
gotiations
lie apeak with r"ret of the unimproved
condition of affairs in Mexico. He ejieaks ou
the sul ject at leiiLith. Outrages of the worst
doiriptiou, he says, are committed on persona
and property, and there is scarcely any form
of injury which has not been tuHered by our
citizens there during a few years past. We
are nominally iu pence with Mexico, but as
far as the int-ire ts of cur commerce, cr our
citizens there in any private capacity
ure coL-erned, yra might us well be ut
Witl".
.'-'i. M.Laiic, in August la.-t, wrote : "I

The President adds : I have been reluct

of tho Republic and for tho tensions itat
ed. The President recommends the express pat-
eape of a law authorizing him t employ uch
a military foice to enter Mexico for the pur-
pnse of obtaining indemnity for the future.
Should volunteers be selected, fucIi a force
could easily bo raised in this country niuong
those who pympatl.iio with the sullcringa cf
our fellow-ciliicus in Mexico an I with the un
happy condition of that country. Such an
accession tj the forces of the constitutional
gnverutucut would enable it sooner to reach
the capitat.
He recom"'""-!" tb -i;-i. . "i

and Chihuahua for the protection of the lie
and property of Americans against Indian
depredations.
He recommends the establishment of a tem
poral government in Ariiona,
Ctiitrat A'iKrit.i.
He thinks the provisions of our recent
treaty with Nicaragua cannot fail te be satis
factory. He recommends a Iaw authorizing
the employment of a navul force for tho pur
pos o of protecting Amerloaus passing by the
Panama, Nicaragua ami Tehuautepec routes
and again reoommends that authority bo giv
eu to employ the naval force to protect Amer
ican commerce from seizure und confisca
tion by Mexico and the Spanish American
StaL's.
Ho refers to tho faiiuro of the Tost Office
i p(ii(p:iat;on, and recommtnls the passage
of a bill at tlio earliest possible day to pay
the amount duo the contiactor., with interest.
Also to make the necessary appropriation for
tho Post Office Department for tho curreut
year.
He recommends a railway to the Pacific
for the reasons which he has heretofore giv
en. He says that it appears from the report
of the Secretary of the Treasury that it is ex
tremely doubtful whether we shall be able to
pasa through the proscnt and next fiscal year
without additional revenue. Should a deficien
cy occur be recommends that the necessnry
revenue be raised by an increase of the present
duties on on imports.
In conclusion, be recommends to the just
liberality of Cougress tho local iuteicttsof
the District of Columbia.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in his rep-.tt
does not doubt tho BOtual receipts of the
Treasury for the present and next fiscal
years will be fully e.iual to the estimates.
Tho appropriations made at the present
session need not exceed tho amount contained
in the estimi-te. It is believed they can be,
with the oidinn.iy and extraordinary receipts
already provided by law. The estimateJ ba
lance that will be in the Treasury June 301a,
is only $ 5,6 10,000, and leaves no margin for
nlditioual appropriations. If, therefore, the
appropriations should exceed the estimates
or Congress Bhould detomineto provide withiu
this period for payment of any portion of the
public debt, it will become uecossi.ry to make
provision for such contingencies. If additional
demands are created on the Treasury by legis
lation of the present Congress, provision must
be made to meet them by such increase on
the tariff duties as may be required for that
purposo, in such an evcut.
He respect fully rofera Congress to his last
report, as ooutaiuing bis views ou that sub
ject. There ia no nrevidion made for the perman
ent redemption of any portion of the J0,000 ; The necessary exi en.es which will be ineur
000 TaSi. notes, and as authority for the 1 r id for the census will require an appropriation
, , -
issuing them wiil expire on tne outn ot June ;
it will be necesaarv for Congross to extend
the law for that purpose for another per
iod. The Post master General gives an inter
esting account of affairs in bis Depart
ment. He advocates various reforms, and trusts
that Congress will cither give its sanction to
specifio ootitract fur mails between Portland
I and New Orleans, by toting the necessary ap
propriations, or will indicate for the Depart
in ent such a oourse of admiuistratiou as shall
warrant it in closing with tome one of the
proposals which have been received and are
now held under advisement.
He urges action to secure amiable Post Of
fices in New York and Philadelphia and re
commends the repeal of the clause of '.H,
whioh declares that in forwarding mails to
foreign countries, the prefurenco shall always
be given to Amerioan steamers same port
for the same destination, withiu three days
of each other. It is tho highest elomont iu
tho mission of this Dcpai tment, and hence th-.t
legislation which provides for letarding ir
stead of acclei atinp the maila miy besifily
pronoiinccl at len t einaordiuiny iu it-, char
acter. The Post OHUe Dcpattinii.t, accoi Jii g to

a;'i d of its f'lncti'ius, it ohou. I u.t be a

the Executive has not the means to protect or
redress them. He urges an increase in the
marine, melical and purser's departments
narrates the operation tf the various squad
rjus during the past year, and reootumeuds a
provision for assisting infirm and disabled of
ficers, As a measure of increasing tho army,
it is not deemed advisable to proceed in man
ufacturing ritlod cannon beyond those requir
ed for experimental purposes.
He speaks favorably of the breech loading
arms. It does not appear neceHsary to re
quest any considerable approj riation for ad
ditional masonry work for tho fortificatious,
such as are not strong enough to offer good
defense against i hipping, may, when an ene
my arrives, be reinforced at a amall oirpense
by earthen batteries properly combined with
them for military support, and of such an
extent ns to give an aggregate amount of
sufficient power for defense.
The army iu Utah remains inactive and

He is satisfied that the preservation of
right and justice, through the means of any
jurisprudence, however reoognized by the
the people of tho United States, is Impossible
in that Territory. There is in the present
altitude of iiir.iirs, scarcely any nocessity for

Amor.2 the general recoiumnndatisES is one
that a law bo passed iu a spirit of liberality
to settlers on occupied lands, allowing to each
two years from tho dato of filling bis declar
ation statement, within wbicb to make bis
proof und pay for bis land, and at the same
time making it incumbent for the President
to offer at public salo by proclamation, all
lands thutmuy have been surveyed by author
ity of Congrefs at any time within two years
after the plats of surveys have been approved.
He also suggests th manner of provontiug
frauds. All things considered, our relations
with tho Indian tribes continued during tha
past year satisfactory. He regrets to add
that official documents furnish sufficient evi
dence to justify the belief that an nttroolous
case of murder a lj 1 rapine charged to the ac
ccuut of the Inii. had been In reality com

Iu adults thtre aro fiito"u qu aia of blood
inch weighing about two pounds. This blood
is of two kinds, artciial and venous. The
first la the pure blood aa it leaves the hiart Iu
uounsh tho frame, and is of a bright vernill
liou color. The last Is the bto.id as it runs to
the heal t loaded with the Impurities of the
body, to bo thero refined, and is ofa pnrplo
hue. Every pulsation of the heart sends out
two "ounces of nrterial blood, and as there are
from 70 to K) beats in a m'.nute, a hog-bead
of blood parses through the lieait every hour,
Iu fevers tl.e pulsation cro decelerated mid
consequently death ensues if tho fever is not
che ked.

Two sets ol nii-idus, crossing each other, turn
Ihn food over Ainl over, churning it up in the
gastric juice till i! has been reduced to the
coiiilstehcy r: ti.tu paste. This process
requires from tu tu four hours.
Ejiei-j'iiig from tlm stomach the food enters
the stiiitil ii.toi-lues, where ills mixidwith
tho bile and panereatio juice, and converted
into chyle. Theso aiunll Intestines are twen
ty-four feet long, closely packed of course,
anl surrounded through their whole length
with small tubes which are like sockets nnd
drawing oil the chyle, empty into a large tube
named the thoraioduct, which runs up the
back and discharges the contents Into the Ju
gular vein whence it passes to tho heart to
assist In forming the arterial blood.
The lungs are two bags connectud with thu
open air by the wind pipe, which branches Into
innumerable small tubes, all over the iusido
of the lungs, each terminating in a minute air
ooll. The outer surface of these air cells is
full of small oapllla'Ios, infinite email veins, a
thin niembran only dividing the air from
the blood.
The impure portion of venous blood is car
bonio acid, which, having a atronger afliinity
for air than for blood, passes through this
meuihranre to a gaseous state, combines with
the air in tho air cells, and is expelled w ith
the next respiration. Meanwhile the oxygen
of the air unites with the blood, and becomes
purified; then passing into the heart, being
mixed with uhylo, it is forced through the
body us Hfii-giviiig and arterial blood.
The skin serves an important purpose iu
carrying atf impurities of the system. It is
travi-i nd with capillaries of tho body. It is
i'. io perforated with uountloss perspiration
tul-i, thu united length of which umouuts to
Iw.Tity eight miles, and wkich drains away
from three to four pounds of waste matter
every taeuty four hours or fivo-eighths of all
tho body discharges.
The nerves are another curious feature of
tha animal e inniy. They are, however, but
little uudeistood, They act, as feelers to tell
the w tnts of the body, and also as oon luotura
ts rill tho rr.uiclcs to sot. Tho branch out
from tho brain aud spine over the whole frame
in irilinilely Una fibres, like bri.i, oi.es or twigs
to trees.
