Special Message

To the Senate:

I transmit herewith to the Senate a communication which has been received from Mr. B. F. Currey ** in answer to a call made upon him by the President, through the War Department, in consequence of the serious charges which were preferred against him by one of the honorable members of the Senate. It seems to be due to justice that the Senate should be furnished, agreeably to the request of Mr. Currey, with the explanations contained in this communication, particularly as they are deemed so far satisfactory as would render his dismissal or even censure undeserved and improper.

ANDREW JACKSON

**Agent for the removal of the Cherokee Indians.
