More from Andrew Johnson
By direction of the President, Brigadier and Brevet Major-General Irvin McDowell is assigned to the command of the Department of the East.
I transmit the accompanying communications from the Secretary of the Interior, together with the papers to which they have reference.
I would therefore recommend such an amendment of the Constitution as may remove all intermediate agency in the election of the President and Vice-President.
No report upon this subject has yet been received by me from the War Department.
