WASHINGTON, _June 11, 1832_.
_To the Senate_:
I renominate Samuel Gwin to be register of the land office at Clinton,
in the State of Mississippi.
In nominating Mr. Gwin to this office again it is proper to state to the
Senate that I do so in compliance with the request of a number of the
most respectable citizens of the State of Mississippi and with that of
one of the Senators from the same State. The letters expressing this
request are herewith respectfully inclosed for the consideration of the
Senate. It will be perceived that they bear the fullest testimony to the
fitness of Mr. Gwin for the office, and evince a strong desire that he
should be continued in it.
Under these circumstances, and possessing myself a personal knowledge of
his integrity and fitness and of the claims which his faithful and
patriotic services give him upon the Government, I deem it an act of
justice to nominate him again, not doubting that the Senate will embrace
with cheerfulness an opportunity, with fuller information, to reconsider
their former vote upon his nomination.
