inated, and any other
evidence in the Department relative to the fitness of Wharton Rector for
the office of Indian agent, I inclose herewith a report from the
Secretary of War.

ANDREW JACKSON.

_April 13, 1830_.
_To the House of Representatives_.

GENTLEMEN: I transmit herewith a report from the War Department, in
compliance with the resolution of the House of the 18th ultimo, calling
for information in relation to the expenses incident to the removal and
support of the Indians west of the Mississippi, etc.

ANDREW JACKSON.

_April 15, 1830_.
_To the Senate of the United States_.

GENTLEMEN: I submit to the Senate, in compliance with the request in
their resolution of the 12th instant, all the communications found in
the Department of State touching the character, conduct, and
qualifications of John Hamm, which appear or are supposed to have been
made while the said Hamm was an applicant for reappointment to the
office of marshal of the district of Ohio, in the year 1822.

As that individual has been recently nominated to the Senate to be
charge d'affaires of the United States to the Government of Central
America, I take advantage of the occasion to request the Senate to
postpone a final decision on his nomination, upon the following grounds:
That information, though not official, has just been received at the
Department of State of a change having been lately effected in the
Government of Central America, which, if confirmed, may make a
correspondent change in the appointment necessary, or perhaps render it
altogether unnecessary that this Government, under present
circumstances, should send a diplomatic agent to that country at all.

ANDREW JACKSON.

_April 22, 1830_.
_To the House of Representatives_.

GENTLEMEN: I transmit, for the consideration of Congress, a report from
the War Department of a survey[7] authorized by the act of 2d March,
1829.

GENTLEMEN: In compliance with the resolution of the Senate of the 20th
instant, I transmit herewith a report[8] from the Secretary of War.

ANDREW JACKSON.

treaties with the Osage and Kansas Indians.]

_April 23, 1830_.

GENTLEMEN: I transmit herewith a report from the Department of War
