I regard the question involved in these proceedings as one of vast magnitude.
In compliance with your resolution of the 26th ultimo, I herewith transmit a report from the Secretary of the Navy.
The country itself, thus obtained, is of incalculable value in an agricultural and commercial point of view.
I shall carry with me into retirement the gratifying reflection that as my sole object throughout has been to advance the public good.
