I have to inform the House that the Executive did not deem it his duty to interfere with the naval and military forces of the United States
Under every view which I have been able to take of the subject, I think that the interests of our common constituents the people of all the States, and a love of the Union, left the Executive no other alternative than to negotiate the treaty.
To the Senate: I transmit herewith a communication from the Secretary of the Treasury, to whom I had referred the resolution of the Senate of the 27th December last, showing that the information called for by that resolution can not be furnished from authentic data.
