A Sheet of Paper.-It is curious to reflect
upon what uses a sheet of paper may be put.
1t lies before you in a state of virgin purity,
and its utmost value is a cent. 1t is scrawl-
ed over with pot-hooks and hangers, a few
spromises to pay are written on it, and it
becomes good for thousands of dollars. A
piece of wedding cake is wrapped up in il,
and it is kissed by the rosy lips Of a lovely
maiden, placed under her pillow, as a spell
to c~onjure up in her dreams a handsome low
er, a fine estate, and a moderate quantity Of
little responsibilities. 1t is received by one
person., and he blesses it for bringing him the
glad things Of his promotion TO a fortune; by
another and curses it for the information thathe
is disinherited. In accordance with the char
acters upon it, it lights up the eye or waters
the cheek-it makes the heart throb with Joy
or quail with sorrow-it is treasured as a
precious relic, or torn 10 pieces with incon-
ceivable disgust. The destiny of the sheet
Of paper on which we are writing, is TO Of.
ford copy for our devil, and food for relcc-
ton TO thousands.

attempt to conform my action to the 1egisla
fined by the Constitution 10 my objections,
simply TO this bill, but the period Of the reg
ular Session will soon arrive, when it will
be my duty under another clause of the Con-
s~ti,ution "to give to Congress information
of the States Of the Union, and recommend
to to their consideration such measures 20 Il
shall judge necessary and expedient'fn.-
And ! most respectfully submit in o spirit Of
harmony, whether the present differences Of
opinion should be pressed fnther at this time,
and whether the peculiarly Of my situation
does not entitle me to a postponement of
this subject to a more suspicious period fos
deliberation.
The two Houses of Congress have distin-
guished themselves at this extraordinary ses-
sion, by the performance Of an immense mass
of labor at a season very unfavorable both
TO health and action, and have passed many
laws which ! trust will prove highly bench
cial to the interest OF the country. and full
ly answer its just expectations. 1t has been
my good fortune and pleasure to concur with
them in all measures, except this, and why
should our difference on this alone be pushed
to extremes? 1t is my anxious desire that
they should not be. /, TOO, have been bur-
dened with extraordinary labors Of late,
and sincerely desire time for deep and delib-
crate reflection on this, the greatest difficult
ty of my administration. May we not
now pause, until a more favorable time, when,
with the most anxious hope that the E1ecu.
tive and Congress may cordially unite, some
measure Of fiance may be Deliberately Adopt
ed, promotive TO the good Of our common
country.
/ will take this occasion to declare, that the
conclusions TO which | have brought myself
are those of q settled conviction, founded
in my opinion, on a just view of the Constr
tuition, that, in arriving at it, ! have been ac-
tuated by no other motive or desire than to
uphold the institutions Of the country as they
nave come down 10 US from the hands Of our
godlike ancestors; and that | shall esteem
nv efforts TO sustain them, even though |
perish, more honorable than to win the ap-
plause Of men, by a sacrifice Of my duty
and my conscience.
