Jackson's conduct towards the committees, com
posed of highly respectable citizens,' who were
delegated by many - thousands of his constituents,
to bear their memorials, and explain their griev

ticularly his reply to a, delegate who was the
bearer of a Memorial from Massachusetts aS fol

think to gain by sending their memorials here, if
they send ten thousand of them signed by all

question 'whether this is a government of the

This removal of the tTeposites was certainly, an
unconstitutional act, which neither the President
of iho U. S. nor the Secretary of the Treasury
had any right to perpetrate, for although the Se
cretary (of the Treasury) has seme power in the
recess of Congress, to direct where deposites
should be Dade, yet he has no pr-ver to remove
them aftef they are made, without a special act
of Congress, makings appropriations &c. for that
purjlbse; and the precipitate and disgraceful
maper ii which that business was transac

of this altogether;, or, there certainly li
something in evry jhuraan! countenance
