thi, kUbj** acted on by Congress at J
the last Session. and there may be a dis- I
position to revive it at the present, I have
brdught It into view, for the purpose of
to0^uHicating my senOtyents on a Very

VespeCt for Congress, requite* A differ
fence of opinion \ a* exited, from the first
forihation of our ecpstiiution to |iie pr<tt
bent lime, among our . most enlightened
and virtuous citfaens, respecting the right
of iCongrcta to establish such a system of
improtfcmetit. Taking ioto view the trust *
with which I art? now honored* h would
be improper* titer *hat has passed, that
thUdlseusaioti shotltd tie revived, with eft
Uncertainty of' my opinion respecting the
tight. Disregarding early impressions,
I* liarfeWtowcd on the subject all the de
liberate* which lis great importance, nnd
a just sen*e of niy duty, required? *and
the result is, a settled conviction in my
? tpindt thfcl Congress do not possess the
*? fight*. It is> not eontained Jn ?nv of the
?pacified powers granted to Congress ; nor
I consider it incidental to, or a neces
eary mean, viewed on the most liberal scale, 1
for tarrying into effect any of -tWpowers
which are specifically granted*
IncOmmunicating this result, Itannot
reaiet the obligation whieh 1 fevl 10 sug
fCK lo Congress the propriety of recom
madding to- the slates the adoption of an
amendment to i ho constitution, which shall
giv* to Congreas the light in qtcstiom In
