Requests Hobart's attention to the petition of Light House Keepers asking for an increase in salary and argues for their case. Comments on matters in Congress. "I do most earnestly hope that the provisions of the Constitution for the choice of Electors of president &c. may be amended…Scarcely any amendment, which I have known to be proposed, would [ma]ke the case worse than as it now stands….The junction of the two Great Oceans is a project of immense interest to the United States, and indeed to the world. Every day seems to bring some event or involve some relation to magnify the importance of the measures of our general Government."
