the action of the legislative and cxecu,iv,

branches Of the government. To secure this
serve the former from the temptations of private
interest, and therefore so to direct the patron.
age Of the latter as not to permit such tempu.
tons to be offered. Experience abun,lantly dc.
monstrates that every precau,ion in this respect
isa valuable safeguard Of liberty, aud one
which my reflections upon the tendencies of our
system incline me to think should be made still
stronger. II was for this reason that, in con.
removing oil intermediate agency in the choice
of the president, recommended some restric.
tions upon the re.eligiblity of that officer and
upon the tenure Of officers generally. The rea-
son still exists; and renew the recommends
ton, with an increased confidence that this a.
dopiion will strengthen those cheeks by which
the constitution designed to secure the indepen.
dence Of each department Of the government,
nstration Of all the trusts which il has created.
The agent most likely to contravcne this design
of the constitution is the chict magistrate. In
order, particularly, that this appointment may,
ss far ss possible. be placed beyond the reach
Of any improper influence; in order that he
may approach the solemn responsibilities OF the
highest Office in the gin Of free people, uncom.
n,itted to any other course than the strict line
Of constitutional duty; and that the securities
for this independence may be rendered as strong
ss the nature Of power, and the weakness Of its
possessor, will admit can not too earnestly in.
vite your aite ntion to the proprety ofpromoting
such amendment Of the constitution as will rem.
der him ineligible after one term Of service"
From Gen. Jackson's Third Message.
81 have heretofore recommended amendments
Of the federal constitution giving the election OF
president and vice.president to the people, and
limiting the service Of The former to q single
term. So important do consider these changes
in our fundamental law. hat can not, in &c.
cordance with my sense Of duty, omit to press
them upon the consideration Of a new Con
gress."
From Gen. .)ackson's Fifth Message.
IL would also call your attention 10 the views
| have heretofore expressed of the proprety o
amending the constitution. in relation to ths
mode Of elccting the president and vice.presi
dent OF the United States. Regarding it as al
important to the future quiet and harmony o
the people, that every immediate agency in thu
election of these officers should be removed, ant
that their eligibility should be limited to Ont
term of either four or six years. cannot too car
ncs,ly invite your consideration Of the subject.
These views were still further urged upor
the attention of Congress in the seventh an
eighth annual messages.

after his release, Mr.. 4. ?, ShaIleross, our
