On the part Ct The Senate, JUS scrutiny iil-|
to tie character and pretentionscf every per-
son whom may bring TO their notice 70 che
regular form Of nomination to Office. IN
less persons every way trustworthy are em-
ployed d the public service, corruption and
irfegularlty will inevitably follow. / shall
with the greatest cheerfulness, acquiesce in
the decision of that body, and, regarding i
as wisely constituted to aid the Executive
department IN the performance of this deli-
cafe duty, ! thall look to its "consent and adj
vice" as given only in furtherance of the
best interests Of the country. shall, also,
1.-THE earliest proper occasion, invite the at
tention ofCongress to such measures as in my
judgment will be best calculated TO regulate
and control the Executive power in reference
to this vitality important subject.
Ishall also 1.-the proper season, invite your
attention to the statutory enactments FOR the
suppressionof the slave trade, which may
seqnire to be rendered more efficient in their
provisions. Their is reason to believe that
the traffic is on the increase. Whether such
increase is to be ascribed to the abolition Of
slave labor in the British possessions in our
vicinity, and inattendant diminution in the
supply ofthose articles which enter into the
general consumption Of the world, thereby
augmenting the demand from other quarters
and thus calling for additional labor, it Wer
needless to inquire. The highest considera
tions of public honor, as well as the strong
est promptings Of humanity, require resor
to the most vigorous efforts to suppress tn,
trade.
In conclusion, beg toinvite your partic
ular attention to the interests of this District
Nor do doubt that, in liberal spirit of leg
islation, you will seek to advance its. CONNER
cial as well as its local interests. Should Con
i gress deem it to be its duty TO repeal the ex
isting Sub-Treasury law, the necessity {
providing suitable place of deposite for tn
public moneys which may be required within
the District must be apparent to all
have felt it to be due to the country {
present the foregoing topics to your consid
Grafton. Others, with which it might nc
seem proper to trouble you at an extra ses
s sion, will be laid before you at future day
am happy in committing the important q
fairs Of the country into your hands. Th
tendency of public sentiment, ann please
to believe, is towards the adoption, in spir
of union and harmony, of such measures

! such tendency of public opinion is the tas
!. tof an elevated patriotism. That difference
of opinion as TO the means of accomplishing
these desirable objects should exist, is re
sonably to be expected. Nor can all be MAD
