WASHINGTON, _February 19, 1833_.
_To the Senate_:
The renomination of Samuel Gwin to be register of the land office at
Mount Salus, in the State of Mississippi, having been on the 16th of
July last laid upon the table of the Senate, with a resolution declaring
that it was not the intention of the Senate to take any proceeding in
regard to it during that session, a vacancy in the office was found
existing in the recess, which the public service required to be filled,
and which was filled by the appointment of Samuel Gwin. I therefore
nominate the said Gwin to the same office.
In addition to the papers which were transmitted with his nomination at
the last session, I have received others from the most respectable
sources in the State of Mississippi, bearing the fullest testimony to
his fitness for the office in question. Of this character are the two
now inclosed, signed by members of the convention recently assembled to
revise the constitution of the State, and also by many members of its
present legislature. They also show that the appointment of Mr. Gwin
would be acceptable to the great body of the people interested in the
office.
