More from Andrew Johnson
I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State of the 2d instant, together with accompanying papers.
I transmit to Congress the accompanying documents, which I deem it proper to state are all the papers* that have been submitted to the President relating to the proceedings to which they refer in the States of South Carolina and Arkansas.
This event will occasion mourning in the nation for the loss of an eminent citizen and honored public servant.
Feeling constrained to withhold my consent, I herewith return the resolution to the Senate, in which House it originated, with a brief statement of the reasons which have induced my action.
