6649. PETITIONS, The Executive and.—[further continued].
I cannot lay petitions before Congress consistently with my own
opinion of propriety, because where the petitioners
have a right to petition their immediate
representatives in Congress directly,
I have deemed it neither necessary nor proper
for them to pass their petition through the
intermediate channel of the Executive.—
To Joseph B. Varnum. Washington ed. v, 388.
