corps, "thus far and no further" have dwelt the
1'nger upon this subject, because removals from |
o,iicc are likely often TO arise, and would have my
coun,Iymcn 10 understand the principle Of the exe>
su,ivc action.
In all public expenditures The most rigid, cccno-
ay should be resortcd TO, and, as ono Of iia results
a pubic debt in time Of peace he seLulorsly avoid
sJ A wise and patriotic constituency will never
-fisc, TO the opposition of necessary burdens for
useful ends; snd true wisdom dictates the resort to
snch means, in order TO supply deficiencies in the
revenue, rsthor than to those doubtful expejien,s
which ultima.ing in pubic debt, TO emhar-
re the resources of the country and to lessen it's
ability 10 meet any great emergency which may rise
An sinccuros should be abolished. The approWi>
n'cns should I've direct and explicit, 50 as to leave
limited share Of discretion TO the Disturbing
agents may be found compatible with the pub
lic service. A stict responsibility on the part "i
NIL the agents OF the Government should he main
,aincd, and speculation or defalcation visited with
Dmmsdiac cxpulsion from Off C and the most con-
hign punishment.
The pubic interest also demands tha, If any war

1ency, it shall cease. Measures of financial char.
ecter, now having the sanction Of legal enactment,
shall beiahuly enforced ufrtil tepeadea by the e-
9,'sla,ivc authority. Blu, owe il to myself to de.
clare that regard existing enaetmenls - unwise
and imiolidc, AID in high degree oppressive.
haIi pronIy give my sanction to any constitutional
measure which, originating in Congress shall have
for its object The restoration Of q sound circulating
medium, SO essentially necessary to give niidcace
so oil the transactions oflfe, to secure to industry
jus, nnl adequate rewards and TO rersablsh the
public prosperity. In deciding upon The adoption,
Of any such measure to the end proposed, as well

tothe fathers Of the great Republican school for ad

riews,af our system OF Government, and the gh,
ofiheir ever glorious example.
The institutions under which we live, my coun.
Irymen, each person in tho perfect enjoy.
'ment of all his rights. The spectacle is exhibited
80 the world Of Government deriving It's powers
from the consent of the governed, and having Impair
ted to it only much power as is necessary for its
succHssful operation. Those who are charged with
ills administration. should carefully abstain from oil
attempts to enlarge the range of powers thus gran.

grants, lcas, ly doing they disturb that bal
lance which the patriots end statesmen who framed
'ho Constitution designed TO establish between the
Federal Government and the States composing the
Union. The observance of these rules is cnjoined
upon US by that feeling of reverence and affection
(Which fHds place in the heart of every patriot for

In conclusion, l beg you 10 be assured that
