fully to say that have felt the most anx-
lous solicitule to meet the wishes of Con-
gress in the adoption Of Fiscal Agent
which, avoiding all constitutional oblec-
tons, should harmonize conflicting oPln-
ions. Actuated by this feeling, | have
been ready to yield much in a spirit OF
Cancellation 10 the opinions Of others; and
it is with great pain that now feel com.
PEELED to differ from Congress n second
time ia the Eame session. At the COM
mencement of this session, inclined from
choice to defer to the legislative will
submitted to Congress the propretv oil
adopting a Fiscal Agent which, without
violating the Constitution, would separate
the public money from the executive con-
troll; and perlom the operations OF tho
Treasury, without being burdensome to
the people, or inconvenient or expensive
TO the government.
1t is deeply to be regretted that this
department of the Government cannot,
upon Constitutional and other grounds,
concur with the Legislative Department
in this last measure proposed to obtain
these desirable objects. Owing to the
brief space between the period of the
death OF my Iamented predecessor and my
own installation into office, was, in fact
not left time TO prepare and submit de-
hnitve recommendation OF my own in my
regular message; and since, my mind has
been wholly occupied in a most anxious
attempt to conform my action TO the Leg
sIative will. In this communication, |
am confined, by the Constitution, TO my
objections simply TO this bill, but the peri
cd of the regular session will arrive,
when it will be my duty, under another
clause of the Constitution, "to give to
Congress information of the state of the
Union and recommend to their considera-
ton such measures as shall Judge neces-
sary and expediert." And | most res
IpeCtfuIIy submit, in spirit OF harmony,
whether the present differences.of opinion
should be pressed further at this time, and
whether the popularity of my situation
does not enlile me TO a pOsiponement OF
this subject 10 more suspicious period for
deliberalon.
The two Houses of Congress have dis
Itiuguished themselves at this extraordinary
session by tho performances Of an immense
mass OF labor, to a season very untavorable
both TO health and action, and have passed
+ many laws which trust will prove high
, y beneficial to the interest Of the country
, and fully answer its just expectations
1t has been my good fortune and pleasure
10 concur with them in all measures ex-
cept this: and why should our difference
on this alone be pushed to extremes?
Ii is my anxious desire that it should not
be. !, too, have been burdened with eX-
traordinary labors Of late, and sincerely
desire time for deep and deliberate reflec.
ton on this, the greatest difficulty of my
administration. May we not now. pause
until more favorable time, when, with
the most anxious hope that the Executive
and Congress may cordially unite, some
measure of finance may be deliberately
adopted, promotive of the good of our COM
mon country!
, will take this occasion to declare,
that the conclusions TO which l have
brought myself are those Of settled con-
viction, founded, in my opinion, on just
view of the Constitution; that in arriving
[ at it. have been actuaed by no other
motive or desire than to uphold the insti-
! tuition oftbe country as they have come
f down to us from the hands Of our godlIke
. ancestors; and that shall esteem my
efforts to sustain them even though | per.
