In executing this very delicate and important trust I acted with the utmost precaution.
Congress do not possess the power under the Constitution to pass such a law.
On full consideration of the subject I have thought it would be improper for the Executive to communicate the letter called for unless the House, on a knowledge of these circumstances, should desire it, in which case the document called for shall be communicated, accompanied by a report from the Secretary of State, as above suggested.
