To the Senate: In response to the resolution of the Senate of the 24th ultimo, I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State.
I indorse the recommendation of the Secretary of State that Congress authorize the printing of a special edition of 10,000 copies.
I do hereby make known and proclaim that there is hereby reserved from entry or settlement and set apart as a public reservation all those certain tracts, pieces, or parcels of land.
I am not willing, even by inaction, to be charged with acquiescence in what appears to be such an entire departure from the principle, as well as sentiment, connected with reasonable pension legislation.
