these, like ra-iny other subjects, will be ap
propriately brought, at a future time, to
the attention of the co-orJiatc brauebes of

In the administration of domestic affairs,
you cspect a devoted integrity in the pub
lic service, and an observance of rigid econ
omy in all departments, so marked as nev
er justly to be questioued. If this reason
able expectation be not realized, 1 frankly
confess that one of your leading hopes is
doomed to disappointment, and that my
efforts in a very important particular must
result in a humiliating failure. Offices
can be properly regarded only in the light
of aids for the accomplishment of these
objects ; and as occupancy can confer
n i prerogative, nor importunate de
sire fur preferment any claim, the public
interest imperatively demands that they
be conidered with sole reference to the
luties to bo performed. Good citizens

No reasonable man of any party will

pect the administration to be so rrnardics
ot its responsiudily, aud ot the obvious
elcmcuts of success, as to retain peisons,
known to be under the infliii-nce of politi
cal hostility and partisan prejudice, iu po
sitions, which will require, not only severe
labor, but cordial co-opt ration. Having
no implied engagements to ratify, no re
wards to bestow, uo resetitiiii-uts to remem
ber, and no personal wishes to consult, in
selections for official station, I shall fulfil
this difficult and delicate trust, admitting
no niotivo as worthy either of my charac

an efficient discharge of duty and the best
interests of my country. 1 acknowledge

seeding) and esteem it better for the grass.
Saw no signs of of winter-killed wheat.
