who is also the bearer of the Treaties lately con
cluded with the Creeks, Chickasaws and Chero-
KEGS.
In my las. to you, took the Liberty Of draw
ing your attention to the benefits that would result
both to the Treasury oil the United States, and the
defence of the Lower Mississippi, and its Deepen
denotes, by bringing into market those tracts of
country lately acquired by the Treaties above nam
ed. am SO deeply impressed with The impor
i lance OF this subject, that cannot lorego the pref
! sent opportunity Of again bringing it 10 your view.
! have this moment wrote the Comptroller on this
highly interesting and important business. If the
plan proposed is adopted, the land be brought
into market within very short time, which will,
immediately give to that section OF country strong
and per anent settlement OF American citizens
lcompetent to lis defence. Should the government
divide the Surveyors district, proposed, and ap
Iponl General Coffee, Surveyor Of the Northern,
his energy and industry will bring into maj ket in
all June next. Should the District be divided, as
contemplated, and General Coffee appointed Sur
Iveyor, it will leave open the appointment Of Receiv
Ter OF Public Moneys, heretofore promised to the
lGenei al, which vacancy | warmly recommend 10 be
filled by Lieut. Gadsden, who, owing to the late,
Indeed might say present, delicate state of his
E, health is DESTROYS of resigning his appointment in
! the army. In this, as in all my recommendations,
II have the public good in view.
II From the requirements of Lieut. Gadsden, the
larmy Will sustain great loss by the withdrawal OF
fl his services from il; but by retiring at present,
3 and avoiding the lnsalubrieus climate, where his
:. duty as an officer calls him, his health may be
stored, and his life preserved for the benefit OF his
81 country at some future period. There few
elyoung men in the army, elsewhere, possessing
Ills merit his education is OF the hest kind, and his
pj mind is richly stored with the useful sort oil
n ledge; be should, therefore, be tosleled as
Il capable, at some future day, OF becoming one Of
y his country's most useful and valuable citizens
al Lieut. Gadsden's situation requires some office
v the profits oil which will yield him competency
while preparing himself for professional pur.
J.. suit; this office will afford it. These the rea
c sons that induce me SO warmly to recommend him
hope, should the events alluded to occur, he vii
receive the appointment.
, Being deeply impressed with the importance o
d another subject which relates to YOURSELF as vel
dl as the government ! hope | may be permitted
e once more TO obtrude my opinions. In filing the
all vacancy occasiored BY the transfer of Mr.. Craw
v ford from the War Office to the Treasury, it il
N of the highest moment that some proper aud iii
;person should be selected.
r. Your happiness and the nations welfare mate
IN rally depend upon the selections which are to b.
" made to f.. the heads of Departments. | need no
Id tell you that ieuds exist and have existed 10 al
lie Injurious degree, in the Northern army. To I'll
n the Department of War with character who ha
I'd taken part in those ieuds whose feelings haV
a. been enlisted on the side Of party, will be adding
n uel to fame, which, tor the good Of the service
as already burns too iercey his, and other consld
Ierations, induced me to enter on The inquiry for
r. character best calculated 10 fill the Department
e. it has resulted in the selection OF Col. William
u Dtayton. Since my last TO you, in which this sub
fit lect was then named, Gen. Ripley has arrived
n, here, who heartily with me in the opinion
that Col. Drayon is the best selection that can b
I'll made
eel Pardon me, my dear sir, for the following re
e, marks eerning the next presidential term; the
e. are made with the sincerity and freedom of FRIEND
m, cannot doubt they lciU be received with feeling
he similar to those which hnvs inpelled me TO max
oil thtm. Every thing depends on the selection Z
nc your ministry. In every selection, party aud par
~ feelings should be avoided. Now is the time t
bel exlermina,e that monster, called party spirit.
,t- selecting characters NEST conspicuous for thei
&C. prUby virtue, capacity, and hrmnsss, without an
ak regard to party you viii go far 10, not entirely
its eIadicas those feelings watch, CD former occasions
atthrew many obstacles 10 the way OF government
IN 4 and, perhaps, have the pleasure aud honor of
lot hitting people heretofore politically divided. TIL
m. Chief Magistrate OF great and powerful natio
1t should never indulge in party feelings His con
ell duct should be liberal and disnerested, ata0ay
n bearing in mind that he for the auh0te and
rs Ia part of The community. BY this course you wi
er eaH the national character, and acquire for your
ed self name as imperishable monumental mar
"a Bile. Consult no party IN your choice pursue tn
&C. dictates OF that unerring judgment which has $
of long, and so often benefited our country, and rem
er dered conspicuous its rulers These are the sen
i'm meuts of friend; they are the feelings, if knos
lid my own heart of an undissembed patriot
&c Accept assurances OF my sincere friendship, ant
do believe me to be respectfully, your obedient ser
lie WANT, ANDREW JACKSON.
