TO live under# free government, and en- " joy its bleflings. is a privilege which but b< few people among the nations of the earth P 1 . enjoy, and it must be a pleasing reflection L to those who are called to administer it, that they are carrying into effeft the will <lf the tc people, as it is exprefled by their laws— w [ laws which are the result of the calm invefd- w s gation and deliberate judgment of the Le- c< giflative Body chosen by the People them l selves. On this ground, therefore, our Gov- 1 j ernment has the strongest claim to the as- " t fe&ion and support of all its citizens, who -1 cannot fail of receiving an adequate return, r< ■» in that protection and security which it will " 1 afford, if its principles are adhered to, and £ I the laws faithfully and impartially adminif- 11 e tered. And the obligation, perhaps, will a I be strengthened, when it is considered, that j n ■ while the constitution and laws of tbe Com-! c " monwealth,'proteft and defend the rights of ; t! ~ the citizens, our Federal Government com- | a f bines the interest of the United States, and , 11 n affords additional security to all. It is my j a firm opinion, and I believe the opinion ] P !" my fellow citizens in general, that the Fe- ! c j" deral constitution, conne£ted with those of " a the different states, has hid the foundation J ic of that security and happiness which we had 0 fondly anticipated ; as a proof of this we r need only compare the circumftaaces of our _ country previous to its adoption with its un '; rivalled prosperity since : This also, will af jt ford fatisfaftory evidence of its having been cr executed with fidelity and ability, by that :e " beloved and distinguished fellow-citizen, - " who, after a life of ufefulnefs to his coun of try, has withdrawn from the cares and ar.x-, I- ieties 'of office, to the (hade of retirement ; ■ r " where, I trust, he will continue to enjoy the ' bleflings of his countrymen. —We deeply re- ! gret the loss—but feelareliefin the appoint ment of his successor, whose known integri- < ty, ability and patriotism leave no room to doubt that the duties of the Executive De partment of the Federal government will con he tinue to be ably and faithfully performed. of The afpeft of our affairs, relating to fo •re reign nations is far from being agreeable— rs no one can reflect on the unjuftifiable depre he dations committed on our commerce from 1a- time to time, without the greatest concern. fe- I know no cause for the offence that feerns to- to have beeen uken, but that of our exer pas cifing the rights of a neutral independent na f! tion, Undoubtedly, peace and friendfh'ip rd with all the world, ought to be the motto M. inferibed on the American Eagle ; but at ru- the fame time, it ought to be remembered that the citizens of the United States, will ttle never peaceably surrender to any power on earth, their rights as an independent nation. iin They cannot but feel very sensibly the in ne, juries committed on their commercemore an especially those proceeding from'a great na on- tion, whose friendfhip they highly valued, ieh and whose happiness they have not ceased to Ive wish for. les, The President of the United States in his but late address to Congress, has pointed out the rig, mifunderfUnding that unhappily exills bet ger ween the government of France and that of not the United States, and has his in- j )>w- tention to institute fre(h attempts at ncgoci ■ ation, and thereby promote, if possible, an The accommodation upon honorable terms. It led, is my most fervent wilh, and in which every , in friend of his'country will join me, that thole vith overtures may be attended with success, and und that the magaanimity of the French pat", jo will not f:iflfer them to attempt to deprive ii! of the law of nati ons, the Umted States are clearly intitled td as an independent governmerlf.
