This event will occasion mourning in the nation for the loss of an eminent citizen and honored public servant.
The orders issued by me upon this subject are in accordance with long-established usage and hitherto unquestioned authority.
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.
