Gentlemen Your letter, inviting Inc, behalf
of the Democratic citizens Of the city and county Of
Philadelphia 10 unite with them in celebrating the ap

before me. | am deeply impressed with the kind
terms employed by you in Conveying The invitation,
and regret that my public duties and engagements will

things would afford sincere pleasure than 10

For the kind reference you have made to the
pursued by me in the administration OF the Govern.
ment, you have my warnest Acknowledgements. What
have done through the exercise OF the qualified Veto,
has proceeded from desire to proptate public OPT

ly UNCONSTITUTIONAL and, believing, it my duty,
not only moral but political agent 10 exert the
qualiheL veto, with which the Chief Executive Mags-

arrest any such measure. Nor is The Government in
any way dependant upon any such institution for the
prosperous administration of the public affairs. The

myself, cannot be made 10 believe, that it compors
with the fitness Of things, that any Chief Magistrate
can administer the Government prosperously, who
should have commenced his Administration by the
commission Of what in him, would have been an
nc. of perjury, however others might have esteemed

The principles upon which snail continue 10 act
while remain at the head of the Government, are
those which derived from the grea; teacher in the
Republican Schoo-and if for this, shall continue
to be the object of abuse, | shall console myself
with tie reflection, that the disciple should not ex.
pect fate different from that Of his master. In his
day and generation man more vili6ed than the
