"WAsHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10, 1850.
"SIR-I have receiver your resiGna-
ton of the Office of Secretary of State
with surprise and regret. After we
had passed through nearly the whole
term of the administration with mu-
tual and cordial friendship and regard,
cherished the earnest hope that moth
ing might occur to disturb our official
relations until it's end. You have de-
cided differently, and L have no right
TO complain. i must express my graf
ificatiOn at your concurrence with the
general principles laid down in said
message, and your expressions of warm
sympathy with its patriotic appeals
and suggestions. This l value very
highly. and rejoice that we concur in
the opinion that Congress does not
possess the power under the Constitu-
lion to coerce n State by force of arms
to remain In the confederacy. The
question on which we unfortunately
differ Is that of ordering detachment
of the navy TO Charleston ana IS cor
rectly stated in your letter of reslgna-
IiOn, l do not intend to argue this
question. Sufficient TO say that your
remarks upon the subject were heard
bv myself and the Cabinet with all the
respect due to your high posi-
ton, your long experience and
vour unblemished character; but

sitv and propriety, under existing cir
cumstances, of adopting such a meas
ure. The Secretaries of War and of the
Navy, through whom the order must
have been issued to reinforce the forts,
did not concur in your views. and,
while the whole responsibility for the
refusal rested upon myself, they were
the members of the Cabinet more di;
rectly interested. You may havejudged
correctly in this important question,
and your opinion is entitled to grave
considerations; but under my convic-
tions of duty, and believing, ns l do,
that no present necessity exists for re: re,
sort TO force for the protection of the
public property, it was impossible for
me to have risked a collision of arms in
the harbor of Charleston, and thereby
have defeated the reasonable hopes,
which cherish, of the final triumph oi
the Constitution and the Union. have
only to add that you will take with you
into retirement my heartfelt wishes
that the evening of your days may be
prosperous and happy. Very respect

LETTER TO HIS KINsMAN, GEORGE
JEFFERSON.
From RGndulES Life ofJcGcrSon, Vol 2I1dge GB2.
DEAR SIR: l have to acknowledge
the receipt OF yours of March 4, and to
express to you the delight with which
found the just, disinterestcd, and hon
orable point of view in which you saw
the proposition it covered. The rtsolu-
ton you so properly approved had long
been formed in my mind. The pub
lie will never be made TO believe
that an appointment of relative
is made on tho ground of merit
alone, uninnuenced by family views;
nor can they ever see with APP
probation offices the Disposal of which
they intrust to their Presidents for pnb-
lie purposes, divided out as family prop
erty. Mr.. Adams degraded himself in
finltely by his conduct on this subject,
as Washington had done himself the
greatest honor. With two such exam
pies to proceed by, l should be doubly
inexcusable TO err. 1t is true TINT this
places the relations OF the President i'll
worse situation than if he were IL
stranger. but the public good. which
cannot be effected, if its confidence be
lost, requires this sacrifice. Perhaps,
too, it is compensated by sharing i'll tho
public esteem. / could not be satisfied
Till 1 assured you of the increased es-
TEEN with which this transaction fills
me for you. Accept my atfectionato
ex preston of it, TIL. JEFFERSON.
