try, and little time was then required by the

try, and title time was then required by the
President foi th ir cXamnatio'.
For my own part, have deliberately deter
mined that shall approve no bill which have
not examined, aud it will be case of extreme
q d most urgent necessity which shall ever in
duce me to depart from this rule. Therefore
respectfully, but earnestly, recommend that the
80 houses wou all W the President at least
two days previous to the adjournment of each
session within which 10 new Hill shall be pre-
scented to him for approval. Under the exist
ing joint rule one day is allowed; but this rule
has been hitherto so constantly suspended in
practice, that important bills continue to be
presented to him up till the very last moments
Of the session. In large majority of cases
great public Inconvenience can arise from the
want Of time to examine their provisions, be-
cuuse the constitution has declared that if bill
be presented to the President within the last ten
days of the session he is not required to return
it, either with an approval or with veto, ''in
which case it shall not be law" 1t may then
lie over, and be taken up and passed at the next
session. Great Inconvenience would only be
experienced in regard to appropriation bills; but
fortunately, under the late excellent law allow
ing a salary, instead Of per diem, to members
of Congress, the expense and Inconvenience Of
called session will be greatly reduced.
L cannot conclude without commencing to
your favorable consideration the interests of the
people of this District Without representa-
tive on the floor of Congress- they have for this
very reason peculiar claims upon our just re-
gard To this know, from my long acquaint-
tnce with them, they arc emimcntly entitled.
