"What you have said, Mr. President, fully satisfies me that you have given to every proposition which has been made, a kind and candid consideration. And you have now expressed the conclusion to which you have arrived, clearly and distinctly"

This quote by Salmon P. Chase is expressing his fulfillment with the President's decision-making procedure. He acknowledges that the President has actually provided a "kind and honest consideration" to every proposition that has been made, and has revealed his conclusion "plainly and distinctly". This suggests that the President has actually put in the time to carefully consider all of the alternatives prior to deciding, and has actually communicated his decision in a clear and concise manner. This signifies a good leader, and Chase is expressing his approval of the President's decision-making process. He is also revealing his confidence in the President's ability to make noise decisions. This quote is a testimony to the President's leadership and decision-making skills.
