The President of it.e Untied State.3 to the Secretary of the Treasury Wahinrf0n Sept. 2i 183 Sir After you retired, I opened and read llie paper you handed tocne; I here wit. i retiirn it, a? a communication which 1 cannot receive. Having invited the tree and lull rornrnutiicati n d'all ycur views, before I tn:ule up a final opinion upon the subject, I cannot consent to enter into lurIher discussion of the question. There are numerous imputations in the letter, which cannot with propriety be allowed to enter into a correspondence between the Pr si. lent ami' the head of a de ):irirneiit. In your letter ol July last you remark--"But if alter receiving the in lormation and hearing the diacusion, I shall not consider it my duty, a a responiMe agent of the law, to cany into elTect the ilen-ion that you may then make, I will, trom Nsppet to you, and for myself, oftud you an early opportunity to select a successor whose views m.iy accord with

your own .ni the important matter in con temptation. " My communication to my cabinet was made under tins assurance received from you, aud I have not request ed you to perform any thing which your tense ol nuty Old not sanction i i. . it, roerelv w .shed to be informed, whether. as - ocut-i.ny me i iea?uiy, you can consistently with y our opinion on the subject vi me uepos-iies. auopt sucn measures in relation to them, as in mv view, the nub lie interests, and a due execution of the laws, render proper.

ije dep.site question is unnecessary, and! mat inete were imputations therein, that cou! 1 not be admitted into a correspondence between the President and the head ot a department Allow me respectfully to eav, that, it uas not with a view to a further discusfcion, thai 1 presented my re lsons for declining to act, agreeably to your direction, in removing the deposites. but to j-istify ni) leiusai, nor was it my desire or intention that any matter contained in my letter should be disrespectful, or o.en to such a su position; lhat any thing therein should be so construed, I tery much regret My object throughout was to justify the course, on ihe two poiuts stated in my letter, which, under the most solemn impressions, I felt it to be my duty to pursue To shew you my obligations, I presented a copy of m commission, a copy of my oath of office, and a copy of the law giving the Secretary of the Treasury the discretion to change the public depositoiy t 10 Miew you upon wtiat I relied, in ray course 01 conduct, I quoted your letter of June 26th , and your exposition ol the 18th instant. In order to justify my refusal to resign, 1 described the crrcumstances umier which your letter of July 22, and my reply of the same date, w ere written, and shewed the new posture in which I was placed by subsequent reflection and cccui rences. When I entered your administration, I jiau. o Knowledge tnat you had come to 1 .1 - 1 11 ... iioy uecision on me ueposue question, or that you meditated a change of depository without the action ot Congres. As soon as I was made acquainted with your vieis, I anxiously sought to accord with them: and, as you invited a full disclosure of my thoughts, hy assuring me in ycur letter of the 26th June, that you did not intend to interfere with the independent exercise of the discretion committed to me by law over the deposites, 1 opened myselt freely to you, against any change ot the depository ; al all subsequent stages, although I have kept myself open to ex planation, 1 have invariably declined to make that change, an.i I remain io the Same resolution still. Permit me respectfully to say, that I am not aware, that my willingness, or unwillingness, to afford you an opportunity to select a successor, could have had any influence or bearing upon any question before the cabinet; but I am willing to meet lhat consideration, as well as those stated to you this day iu our interview. In short, Sir, as I seated to you at that interview, my course is ju-tifrcatory towards you I desire no unkind feeling I have no unkind purpose; however ardent or unusual my language may be, it is at least sincere. " Allow me, then, very respectfully to state, as declared at our interview, that, under the most serious convictions of my duty, 1 reluse to aid, assist, or in anyway participate in the proposed change of the public depository that I refuse to relinquiih a post conferred upon me by the law and, lhat, without iu the most remote degree meaning any sort of disrespect to you, I protest against any interlerence, ou your part, with poweis and duties, which, I believe were designedly withheld from the President, and commit ted to the Secretary of the Treasury, the lineal agent of the law. W11I1 fervent wishes that your measures miy conduce to the advantage of your country, and to the honor of yourself, i ao, with the utmo-t consideration, Your obedient servant, W. J. DUANE. No. fi.

I pray you dispassionately to consider, whether ou did not al'Solve me, even upon principles of delicacy , from all obligation upon this view ot the matter I. On VVednesdav, Sept.

Ea "Dear Sir The world 1- 90 censorious, that I am obliged upon reflection, to ex press to you my hope, that you will not regard me as approving of any publication: it would seem to be but delicate to defer such an act, until I shall either con cur or decline: however, all I desire to have understood is, that I do not approve of the course mentioned Were 1 the President. I would consult at least reason ably, the feelings of a man who ha already anxieu enough As to the newspapers, they will know what has been done, without an official communication. "Very respectfully yours, W J DUANE. Sept 19, 1833." 4. In the Globe of Friday, Sept. 20. you caused it to be announced to the wor ld, that the die was cast; thu altogether (lisregarding the rights of the Secretary of the Treasury, and my own feelings nnd tame, and refusing besides to wait even until the next day to receive my decision Allow me, therefore, very reaped fullv, but confidently to say, that I was thus discharged from any sort of obligation; or respect for, or on account of the past You gave me no opportunity to let you know whether i would or would not afford you an opportunity to choose a successor; in short, the Secretary of the Treasury was, as far as an executive act would do ,t, nullified; and I hold it, therefore, that after such a course, I may stand before my country, acquitted of any disregard even of delicacy Trusting, Sir, that you will be so good as lo permit me to enter into your consideration, with my former note of this date, and that we may close without discredit to either, the pending matter. I am, with the utmost consideration, your obedient servant, W J. DUANE No. G. The Secretary of the Treasury to the President of the United States Treasury Department, Sept 21st, 1833 Sir As you had not, in au written communications, given a direction as to the deposites, but, on the contrary, had left 1 the action to the Secretary of the Trea-J sury as a matter of option, I deemed it my j duly w hen 1 had the honor of receiving! from you y our exposition of the I81I1 mst. to ask you, whether I was to consider my-! self directed lo remove the deposites, and; you replied that 1 was directed on your responsibility. j I was preparing to lay before you, an I exposition ot our relative position and i views, from the first moment of my entry

A communication, justificatory of my course under present circumstances, which I delivered to you yesterday, having been returned, on account of alleged objectionable matters therein, the piesence of which, if disrespectful, I regret, it now becomes my duty in reply to your letter leluruing that communication, respectfully lo announce my unwillingness to carry your direction as to the depositee into effect; and in making known that decision, without meaning any sort of disre spect, to protect myself, by protesting against all lhat has been done, or is doing, to divest the Secretary of the Treasury of tbe power to exercise, independently ot ihe President, the discretion committed to hirn by law oter the deposites I have already, Sir, on more than one casi-n, and recently ; trithent coatradic

lion, before the cabinet stated that I did not know, until after tny induction into office, that vou had determined that the de posits should be removed without any futthei action by Congress; if I had known that such was your decision, and that I should be required to act, I would not have accepted the office. But, as 6oon as I understood, when in office, what your intention was, I sought for all information

You were so good as lo transmit to me, to that end, from Boston, not only the opinions of the members of the cabinet jbut yourowa views in detail, upon the de. posit question; but, instead ot intimating to me that tnv disinclination to carry those views into elTect. woold he lollou,.,!
