Suffice it to say, that the lives of many of our people, ad the security of vast ameuata of treasure passieg aad repassing over one or more of these routes between the AtlaaMe and Paolfic. maybe deeply involved in the action of, Con gteea on this subject, 1 would also, again recommend that authority be given to Uie President to employ the naval force to prelect American merchant vessels, their crews, and cargofs,againstvloleat and law less seizure 'and confiscation in tlie porta of Mexico and the Spanish American' States, when these countries may beia a disturbed and revolutionary revo-lutionary condition. The mere knowledge that such aa authority had been conferred, as I have already stated, would of if self, in a great degree,-prevent degree,-prevent the evil. Neither would this require. any additional epprepriailon.for the naval aerylce, V The chief objection urged against the grant of this authority is, that CoBeresa, by coBferrlnfe it, would violate the Constitution that it would be a transftr of the war-making, or, strictly speaking, speak-ing, the war-declaring power to the Executive. If this were Well founded, it; would, of . course, beconclusive. A very brief examination, tow ever, will place this objection, at resU ," Congress posjeSses tlie soi and exclusive power, under the Conslltutl6n."to declare war," Thev alone can "raise and support armies," and "provide "pro-vide and maintain a navy." Bqt after Congress shall haye. declared war, and provided the force necessary to carry it on, the President, as Com-manderno-Cbtef of ihe Army and Navy; cart alone, employ this force so .making war against the enemy- This ia the plain language, and hiatory proves that it waa the well-known in-intention in-intention of the framers of the Constitution. It will not be deaiod that the general ''power to declare war" .is without .limitation, and em-,' brqees .within Itself not only what writers .on the law.of nations. term a public or perfect war,' but also an Imperfect war and, in "short, every species of , hostility, however confined, or limited, Without the authority ;of Congress ihe President cannot- fife a hoatile gun iu any case,; except to repel thoat'tacka of attenemy, ' i.V, ,i - It will not be doubted that under., this power Congress could,- if, they thought proper, author-; lze tho.

With the scanty means at his oommsnd, the Postmaster-General has managed to pay that portion of thla deficiency which occurred m the first t wo quarters of the past fiscal y ear, ending on the 31st December last. In the mean time, the oalrsclors themselves, under these trying circumstances, have behaved In a manner worthy of aH commendation, . They had one resource re-source ha the midst of their embaraasments. After Af-ter tba amount due to each of them bad been aa cerfaiaed and finally settled according, te kw, this became a apeeiftc debt of record against the United State, which enabled them to borrow, money on thla unquestionable security- Still, they Were obliged to pay interest, in consequence of the default of Congress, and oa every principle of justice ought to receive Interest from the Government, This Interest should commence from the date when a wart ant would have issued for the payment of the principal bad an appropriation appro-priation been made for this purpose., Calculated up to lstDecember,t w'l not exceed $98,aHi() a eura potto be taken Into account whea cbn-trsateil cbn-trsateil with, the' great difficulties and embarass-menta embarass-menta of a public and private character, both to the people and the, States, which would have re suited from convening and holding a special ses sisn of Conzress; For these reasons I recommend the .passage of si bill, at as early a day as may be practicable to provide for the paymeht of the amount, with.
