The President will recommend that Congress
do not interfere with the present currency act
passed during the last session, unless to amend
it SO as to conform with plan for resumption
OF specie payments.
The President will make no recommendation

the tact that Congress has already appointed
committee on transportation routes TO the sea-
board, which has already made its report, and
will give further information from more recent

had no specific recommendation to make on the
subject, but if there were any practical way of
removing these difficulties by legislation, then
he earnestly requested that the question might
be taken up at that session of Congress. he
was extremely anxious to avoid any pretence of
undue interference in state affairs, and if Con.
gress differed with him as to what ought be
done, he requested its immediate decision to
that effect; otherwise he should be obliged, as
far as'he could, to put an end to the unhappy
