'Fo carry wi with thi fiie into retirement such an evidence of the appreciation ofany fellow-eitizens at the close of the four years for which they had elected me President, was the highest mark of my ambition, and one, Siich, if 1 were go fortunate as to reach, had never antio. pated would subject me to any future calls in the service of my country.
 The desired amendment of the con stitution, so as to give to the people ad' rect vote in the choice of President and limit his term of office to one oftoai or six years, with otherpublic considera. tions, afforded me ground on whiehi thought that my own anxious wishes to retire could be indulged without disap' pointing the expectations of my friends, conflicting with any public interest.- Considering, however, tire numerous de- clarations which l have received from large portions of my countrymen, Tn VI rious quarters, that my continuance a office another term is necessary to thelr harmonious and successful cooperation, forthe completeaccomplishmeht those measures of improvement and reform which have been commenced under my administration; l feel it to be my duty 10 yield my personal wishes to their soiiei- tationss pray you gentlemen, to accept fll' expression of my gratitude for the favor able manner in which you have coinlhu, nieatea your views, enthis ee-q.s-Sioil ;aln believe me, with great sincerity, 5oa' friend and very obedient servant. or l ANDREW JACkSos' Messrs.
