The special mission authorized by Congress for this purpose has fully succeeded in the accomplishment so far of the great objects for which it was appointed.
I have been influenced by what appeared to me to be the most controlling considerations of public policy and the general good.
I shall carry with me into retirement the gratifying reflection that as my sole object throughout has been to advance the public good.
The responsibility of deciding this question is now devolved upon you.
