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.
I transmit the accompanying communications from the Secretary of the Interior, together with the papers to which they have reference.
My object in this communication is to suggest certain defects in the Constitution which seem to me to require correction.
Strongly impressed with the truth of these views, I feel called upon by an imperative sense of duty to revive substantially the recommendation so often and so earnestly made by President Jackson.
