JAMES K. POLK.

WASHINGTON, _February 5, 1846_.

_To the Senate of the United States_:

In pursuance with the request of the Senate in their resolution of the

4th instant, I "return" herewith, "for their further action, the

resolution advising and consenting to the appointment of Isaac H. Wright

as navy agent at Boston." It will be observed that the resolution of the

Senate herewith returned contains the advice and consent of that body to

the appointment of several other persons to other offices not embraced

in their resolution of the 4th instant, and it being impossible to

comply with the request of the Senate without communicating to them the

whole resolution, I respectfully request that so far as it relates to

the other cases than that of Mr. Wright it may be returned to me.
