FELLOW CITIZENS : • • ' .. • -
- You have assembled in your respective
halls of legislation' under a proclamation :
bearing . ..the signature of the illustrious 'citi
zen- who was so lately, called by the direct
suffrages of the people to the dischargeof
the important functions of their chief
,ecutive offiCe. Upon the expiration ,010, 1
single, month from:the day 'of his- install&
tion, he has paid the , great debt of nature,'
'leaving behind him a nainitliSsociated with
- the recollection .4 - .)P numerous' benefits con
ferred upon the country - during a Inog-life
of patriotic devotion: - With -this public
bereavement are .connected 'other- conside
irations.which will not escape the attention
of Congress.
r • The preparations necessary for his re
moval to the seat of Government in view
of a:residence of four yeartimust-have-de
volved upon the late President heavy'ex
penditures, which; if permitted - to burden
the limited 'resources of his . privatefortune,
may ;tend seriously to the' embarrassment
!of his surviving family: and it is therefore
`respectfully submitted to Congress whether
the ordinary principles of justice would not
dictate, the propriety of its legislative inter
pOsition.. By the provisions of the funda
mental law, the .powers and duties • of 'the
high station to which he was elected . have
devolved upon me, and in the dispesitions
of the - representativesOrThil States and of
the people will.be found. to a great extent
a solution of the problem to which our in
stitutions are for the first time subjected.
In- entering upon the duties of-this office,
I did not feel that it would be becoming in
me , to, disturb, what had been' 'ordered by
my - larriented! ., :predecessor. Whatever;
therefore, may. have been my opinion, ori
ginally; as to :the propriety of convening
Congress at:so early a day from that of its
late.adjournment, I found anew and a con
trolling indiicement not to interfere with
