MADISON AND HIS WORKS. Message of the President of the United States to Congress on the subject. Department or State, July 9, 1836. The Secretary of State has the honor to report to tlie President that there is uo resolution cf Congress, on the death of Mr. Madison, on file in the Depart ment of 3tate. By application at the offices of the Se cretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House of Rep resentatives, the enclosed certified copy of a set of re solutions has been procured. These resolutions being joint, should ha\« been enrolled, signed by the presi ding officers of the two Houses, and submitted for Ex ecutive approbation. By referring to the proceedings on the death of General Washington, such a course appears to have been thought requisite; but in this ease it nas been deemed unnecessary, or has been omitted accidentally. Tiie value of tlie public expression of sympathy would be so much diminished by postpone ment to the next session, that the Secretary thought it best to present the papers, incomplete as they are. as the basis of such a letter as the President may think proper to direct to Mrs. Madison. JOHN FORSYTH, Secretary of State. 1 Washington, July 9, 1836. Madam: It appearing to have been the intention of Congress, to make me foe organ of assuring you. of the profound respect enteitained by both its branches for your person and character, and of their sincere enndo- lenrc-in the late affiicting dispensation of Providence, which has at once deprived you o? a beloved compan ion, aud your country of oue of its most valued citi zens, I perform that duty by transmitting the docu ments herewith enclosed. No expression of my own sensibility at the loss sus tained by yourself ana foe nation, could add to the con solation to be derived-from these high evidences of foe public sympathy. Be assured, madam, that there is not one of your countrymen who feels more poignant ly die stroke whicii has failed upon you, or who will cherish with a more endearjng constancy die memory of the virtues, the services, and the purity of foe illus trious man, whose glorious and patriotic life has been just determined by a tranquil death. I have the honor to be, madam, Your most obedient servant, ANDREW JACKSON. Mrs. Dolly P. Madison, Montpelier, Virginia. Montpelier, Aug. 20,1833. To the President of the United states: I received, sir, in due time, your letter conveying to tne the resolutions Congress were pleased to adopt on the occasion of the death of iny beloved hil>bat:d—a communication made foe more grateful, by the kind expression of your sympathy which it contained. The high and just estimation of my husband by my countrymen and friends, and their generous participa tion in the sorrow occasioned by onr irretrieveablc loss (expressed through th -ir supreme authorities and oth erwise,) are the only solace of which my heart is sus ceptible, on foe departure of hint who had never lost •fight of that consistency, symmetry and b auty of character, in all its parts, which ;ecurc,i to him t> e’love aud admiration of his countiy, and wh.cti must ever be foe subject of peculiar and tender reverence, to one whose happiness was derived from their daily and con stant exeicne. The best return I can make for the sympathy of my country, is to fulfil tne sacred tmst ins confidence repo sed in me—that of placing before it and the world what his pen prepared for their use—a legacy, the im portance of w hich is deeply impressed on my mind. With great respect. D. P. MADISON. Montpelier, Nov. 15,1836. To the President of the United States: Sir: The will of my late husband, James Madison, contains the following provision: “ Considering foe pucuharity and magnitude of the occasion which produced ihe Convention at Philadel phia. in 178*, foe characters who composed it, tiie Constitution which resulted from their deliberations, its eltects during a trial of so nniny years on tiie pros perity of foe people living under it, and the interest it kail inspired among the tnends of a (fee government, it is not an unreasonable inference that a careful and extended report of the proceeding* and discussions of that body, winch weie with’closed doors, hy a member who was constant in his attendance, will be toartii-d- larly gratifying to the people of the United States, and to all who take an interest in the progress ot political science, and the cause of true liberty. Th-s provision bears evidence oi tiie value he set on his Report ol the Debates in the Convention ; and he has c-argcd legacies ou tnein alone to file amount of $12,1100, for tlie benefit of literary institutions and for benevolent purposes, leaving tiie residuary nett pro ceeds for the use oi hti widow. In a paper written by tiim, and which it is proposed to annex, as a pretitce to file Debates, he traces the for mation of Confederacies and of tbe Articles of Con federation, the delects which caused, and foe steps which led to foe Convention, his reasons for taking tlie Debates, and the manner in which he executed the task and his opinion of tlie framers .of file Constitu tion. From this I extract his description of foe man ner in which they were taken, as it guaranties their ful ness and accuracy. *• In p arsuaftce of the task I had assumed, I chose a scat in front of file presiding tnpinber, with the other members ou my right and left hands. In this favorable position for hearing all that passed, I noted dowu in terms legible, and in abbreviations and marks intelligi ble to myself, what was read from foe chair or spoken b> the members; and losing not a moment unnecessa rily betwee • the adjournment and re-assembling of the convention. 1 was enabled to write out my daily notes during the session; or within a few days after its close, finished in the extent and form preserved in my own hand, on my files. “ In die labor and correctness of this I was not a lit tle aided by practice, and by familiarity with tbe style and train of reasoning which characterized tlie princi pal speakers. It happened also, that 1 was not absent a single dai, not more than the casual fraction of an iio ir in any day, >o that 1 could not have lost a s.ngio j speech, unless a very short one.” However prevailing the restraint which veiled, dur ing the life of Mr. Madison, this record of tiie creation of our Constitution, the grave, which has cloned over all those who participated in its formation, has -epara ted their acts from all tnat is personal to him or i ’i them. Hisanxigty for their early publicity after tins was removed, may be inferred from his having Uteoi transcribed and revised by liimself; and, it may be ad-! ded, the known wishes of his illustrious friend, Thorn- ; as Jefferson, and other distinguished patriots, the ini- j portent light they would shed for present as weli as fu • tore usefulness, besides my desire to fulfil the pecuniary obligations imposed by his will, urged their appearance without awaiting the preparation of his other works; and early measures ware accordingly adopted by mi: to ascertain train puMishors in various parts of tlie ll nion, foe terms on wnich their puhlication’coqld be ef fected. It was also intendej to publish with those debates j those taken bj him in the Congress of the Confedera tion in 1732, ’3 and ,6, of wuich he was then a me ni- her, and selections made by himself, and prepared u u- der his eye, front his letters narrating the proc eedings of that body, during file period ol his service in it, pre fixing file donates in 1770 on foe declaration ot inde pendence, by Thomas Jefferson, so 1 as to embody all foe memorials in that -hnpe known to exist. Tins ex pose of the situation of the country under the Confed eration. and the delects of the old system oi govern ment evidenced in the proceedings under it, seem to convey such preceding inforinatiou as should accom pany the debates on tiie foe.nation of tho constitution by which it was snpert«ded. The proposals which have been received, so far from corresponding with the expectations oi' Air. Mad ■sou warn ho charged uie Jnrst ok these works with those legacies, have evidenced that their puhlioatum could not be i ngaged in by me, without advance of funds, and involving of risks which I am not in a situ ation to make or incur. Under these circumstances, I have been induced to submit for consideration. whether tiie publication oi these debates be a matter of sufficient interest to foe people of foe United States to deserve to be brought io the notice of Congress. And should such be foe estimation of tho utility of these works by the repre sentative* of the nation, as to induce them to relieve me individually from foe obi-tacles which impede it, their general circulation will be insured, aud the peo ple tie remunerated by its more economical distribution among them..
