I must be permitted to disclaim entirely and unqualifiedly the right on the part of the Executive to make any real or supposed defects existing in any State constitution or form of government the pretext for a failure to enforce the laws or the guaranties of the Constitution of the United States in reference to any such State.

The act entitled 'An act to authorize the President of the United States to direct transfers of appropriation in the naval service under certain circumstances' has this day met with my approval.
I transmit herewith copies of the report and papers* referred to in a resolution of the Senate of the 20th of February last.
The loss which the Government and the country have sustained by this deplorable event is heightened by the death at the same time and by the same cause of several distinguished persons and valuable citizens.
I transmit to the Senate, in answer to their resolution of the 21st ultimo, a report from the Secretary of State, with accompanying papers.
