Mr.. JACKSON's CIRCULARp
MIR. Quincy observed, that he perceived
that in the letter from Mr.. Smith to M
Pinkney, accompanying the message from
the President Of The q, States OF The 18th
| November, 1909. aiiusion was made to an
important paper headed "Circular," which
had not been communicated 20 Congress
He perceived alSs, that BY the resolution lust
received from the Senate, a specific decla.
ration was required as to the contents of
that very paper. Ii appeared TO him ex
tremely proper. that tie house should have
that paEer on its flies, and within the reach
of its members, before q declaration was
made respecting it. UnGsr this impression
he offered the following resolution
Resolved, That the President of the Uni
house {. copy OF paper purporting to be
circular letter from Mr.. jackson to the Bri
tislh Census in the United States, referred
TO III the letter of the Secretary of State to
Mir Pinkney, accompanying the message of
the goth November.
Mr.. Dana observed, that there was an
other document which it might be of some
importance to have on the file of the house,
and which it might be also necessary TO con
suit tina, was, the despatch from Mr Can
ming, which it appeared was sent by Mr.
Pinkney to the Secretary OF State. He NOV.
ed to add that paper 10 the resolution.
Mr.. Quincy accepted the amendment as
a part OF his resolution.
Mr.. ". .4iston objected to the first part
OF the motion. He said, the house must see
the impropriety of calling on the Executive
tor adocument of which il could not have
an Official copy for no doub, the copy sent
to Mr.. Pinkney was cut out of newspaper,
and such an one only could be sent to the
House. He had no objection to calling for
that asked for by the gentleman from Con
necticut, (Mr. Dana,) although the mate
rial parts Of it were often quoted in the do
cuments before Congress
MIR. Quincy SAID, it was not his intention
to call for what vas not in the Secretary #
States office; the paper which he wanted
was copy of that paper transmitted across
the Atlantic by the Secretary of State, as
appeared by his letter TO Mr.. Pinkney-

sons circular letter, he (Mr. Quincy,) had
Eot seen it; he had cSbeen fortunate enough
TO obtain copy OF it. 1t must be in the
Office of the Secretary OF State for it was
utterly impossible for it to have been sent to
our minister in LoEdon, without also retain
ing copy in the Office of the Secretary of
State.
Mr.. Smile said he would not oppose n
cal. for any information that should be deem
ed proper, out he did not know upon what
ground the House would cali upon the Pre-
sident for this paper, which had not been
addressed to the President but to the Bri
fish consuls in the United States 1t could
not be officially in the possession of the Sc
-cretary of State. who, he presumed. had
seen 1T III the papers as every one else had.
Mr.. 5. said he accidentally held in his hands
a New Hampshire paper containing it; and
if the gentleman from Massachusetts was
DESTROYS of perusing it, it was at his ser
vice.
MIR. EhheS asked for division OF the
question. He said he was willing TO call for
any paper which was or which might be pre-
suned to be i'll possession of the department
OF state but 1t could not be presumed that
the circular of Mr.. Jackson was in that Of
