Reasons of President Jackson fer not acting
defnitipeLy on the Bill entitled IN, act desig-
mating and limiting the Funds receivable for
the Revenues Of The United States"
The bill from the Senate, entitled "An act
designating and limiting The funds receivable
for the revenues of the Omitted States" came
to my hands yesterday at 2 o'clock, p. M
On pcrusing it, found its provisions so COM
plex and uncertain, that deemed it neces.
sary to obtain the opinion of the Attorney
General of the United States on several i'm
portant questions, touching its construction
ani effect, before could decide OH the dispo-
siton to be made of it, The Attorney Gen
eral took up the subject Immediately, and his
reply was reported to me this day at 5 o.
clock, P. M. AS this officer, after careful
and laborious examination of the bill, and a
distinct expression of his opinion on the
points proposed TO him. still came to the con-
cuson that the construction of the bill, should
it become law, would be yet a subject of
much perplexity and doubt, Ia view of the bill
entirely coincident with my own) and as
cannot think 1t proper, in matter of such vi
tai interest, and OF such Constant application,
to improve a bill so liable to diversity of in
terpretations, and more especially as have
not had time, amid the duties constantly
pressing on me, to give the subject that de-
liberate consideration which its Importance
demands, I am constrained To retain the bill,
without acting defnitively thereon; and to
The end that my reasons for this step may be
fully understood, shall cause this paper, with
the opinion of the Attorney General, and the
bill in question, to be deposited in the De-
partment Of State.

tudc Of reflections crowded upon my mind
An individual, who, for eight years, had ex-
erted an almost resisless and undsputed
sway over the destinies Of this country, and
The influence Of whose acts, whether for good
or evil, will be as abiding as time, upon the
character of this government, and the pros
perity of this people, was leaving forever the
theatre Of his public aclion,-a powerless pri-
vatc citizen, advanced in age, aud shattered
in constitution, seeking repose for the brief
interval Of time which separates him from
eternity. What a study for statcsmen!-
What lesson of moderation to all!
