These are snme Of the objection. which prominently

ed OF much iurce-but 1t would be Improbable u"
dwell upon Them. Suffice II 10 add, that this charter
IS designed TO continue for twenty years without a
compeuior-,hai the defects 10 which have alluded,
being founded IN The fundamental law Of the Corpora
lion, are itfevocabic-and that # the objections be well
founded II would be over hazardous to pass the bill
into a law.
In conclusion, | take leave mos, respectfully TO say,
that ! have had tho fnlst anxious solicitude TO meet
The wishes OF Congress in the adoption OF q Fiscal
Agent which, avoiding sl constitutional objections,
should harmonic conflicting opinions. Aciuated by
this feeling, | have been ready to yield much, IN a
spirit OF cancellation 10 the opinions of others. And 1t
IS with great pain that now feel compelled 10 differ
irun Congress a second time ia the same session.
Al the commencement of this session, inclined from
choice to defer the legislative will, | submitted to Con.
gress the piopriety OF adopting a Fiscal Agen, which,
without violating the Constitution, would separate the
public money from the Executive control, perform the
operations OF the treasury without being burdensome
10 the people, or inconvcnient or expensive 10 the gov.
eminent.
II is deeply to be regretted that this department Of
the government cannot upon constitutional grounds,
concJr with the legislative department in this last
measure proposed 10 attain these desirable objects
Owing 10 the brief space between the period of The
death OF my iamented predecessor and my own install
alton into Office, ] was, in fact, not left time 10 prepare
and submit a definite 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 10 the legislative will.
In this communication, | am Conhned by the Consti.
tuition to my objections, simply to this bill, but the pc
Rod Of tho regular Session will soon arrive, when it
will be my duty under another clause of The Constitu-
ton TO give 10 the Congress information Of the State
of the Union, and recommend to their consideration
such measures as ] shall Judge necessary and expedi-
emit
And most respectfully submit, in a spirit Of harmo.
ny, whether the present differences Of opinion should
be pressed further at this time, and whether the pecul-
iatity oil my situation does not eniitle me TO a postpone
ment OF this subject, 10 a more suspicious period for
deliberaiion.
The two Houses of Congress have distinguished
themselves at this extraordinary session, by the per-
torrance OF an immense mass of labor, at a season
very untavorable, both to health and action and have
passed many laws, which, ] trust, will prove highly
beneficial TO the interests Of the country, and fully an
swer It's Just expectations.
1t has been my good fortune and pleasure, to con.
cur with them in all measures except this. And why
should our difference on this alone be pushed 10 ex-
tremes 1t is my anxious desire that it should not be.
| too have been b%urthened with extraordinary labors of
late, and ! sincerely desire time for deep and deliber-
ate reflection, on this greatest difficulty OF my admins
trstion.
May we not now pause, until a more favorable time,
"hen, with the most anxioss hope that the Executive
and Congress may cordially unite, some measure of f.
nance may be deliberately adopted, promotive of the
good OF our common country.
/ Will take this occasion to declare that tie conclu.
Sons TO which have brought myself, are those OF a
settled conviction, founded in my opinion on a Just
we" nf the constitution. That in arriving q, it, ] have
been aciuated by no other motive or desire, than to up
hold the Institutions Of the country, as they have come
down to N from tie hands Of our God-like ancestors
and that shall esteem my efforts TO sustain them, even
though perish, more honorable than TO win the APP
piause OF men BY a sacrifice of my duty and conscience.
