While I ac knowledge with gratitude, this token of the public confidence, it is with diffidence and anxiety that I contemplate the difficult , tits wlrich I lhall have to encounter in the difchaige of-the duties attached to it; and nothing but a firm reliance oil your candor, friendship, and support, under the present existing ttate of things, would have induced me to hazard an acceptance of the impor tant tiuft : but hpwevyr uncertain maybe , the frtccefs of no endea vors (hall be wanting, on my part, to dif chnrge my duty with tidelity to the public, and with latisfaCtion to my own conference. The general prosperity which atteßus the j public affairs of 'his state, cannot but afford | us much encouragement and fatisfadtion. Freed from theembarraffmertts which attend ed os in the infancy of our government, fa voured with the blessings of an excellent | conftitution —zealously attached to the in terest, prosperity and glory of our country free'from the alarm 3 and diftrtffes of war, from foreign manners, influence r.nd connex ions, depending on agriculture, the most certain of all resources ; perhaps few states in the union can be considered in a more fa vorable situation, or have fairer prospeCts of . deriving fubftpntial benefits from a judicious regulation of their internal affairs. It has become our duty to consult and promote th« interest of our fellow-citizens, by a faithful discharge of the different offi ces and trusts which have been assigned to us ; and in the performance of this duty, we ought invariably to be governed by the con stitution of this state, which, designating our various powers, while we adhere to it, in every legillative and executive aCt, we (hall proceed on eftabliffied and just principles. And in all our deliberations upon measures calculated to promote the happiness and prosperity of the state with which we are more immediately eonneCtcd, we ought to have a constant view to the great interest of tjie nation, of which this state constitutes, though not the greatest, yet a very respeCta ble p»'.rt. All the burthen of national con cerns is by the constitution of the United States, delegated to the national govern ment s to that government it belongs to re gulate our in:erconrfc6 with foreign nations to feciire their friendship by every mean confident with our national dignity, our na tional happiness and prosperity ; or in cases of the last necefiity, with the combined pow ers of these states, to repel all hostile inva fionsofourrights. From this fame government we derive an additional guarantee of our in ternal tranquillity, and the freedom of our laws and government. The wisdom with which that government has been administer ed in the times of the greatest difficulty and danger—the success which has hitherto at tended the national measures—the known experience, firmnefs and integrity of those who are placed at the head of its administra tion, ought to inspire us with a proper de gree of confidence in the future, and to ex cite us to every patriotic exertion in sup port of those measures which, under provi dence, may feeure the national prosperity. Happily the constitution of this state, and that of the United States, though embra cing different obje&s, are founded in the fame republican principles, and conclude in the fame important end, the security of the rights and happiness of the people. Consti tutions thus coincident and confirming each other, leave no room for a difference in prin ciple, but only for a diversity of sentiment respeCting measures fceft suited to promote the public interest. There cannot, there fore, be any just occasion among us for the spirit of party and faCtion, the greatest evil to which republican governments are ftib jeft ; it is only .injudjjiiijj. of thc_t£ndeiicy and utility of the meafurei of government, that there can be the prospeCt of a diversity of sentiment ; while principles are the fame, the freeft debates and the most critical ex amination of every subjeCt that may come before you will be of the greatest use : and pn every subjeCt while the majority must, in all cases decide, temperance and candor will best eonduft the debate. The necessary business «F Fhe fefllon will cbme before you from a variety of sources From the sudden transition of an appoint ment in the federal government to the of fice and duty on which I now enter, it can not be expeCted that I (liould be prepared to detail to you the public business, which will demand your consideration. Any commu nications which may have been made to my deceased predecessor, governor Chittendon, {hall be laid before you : And while I men tion hit name, permit me to pay a refpeCt ful tribute to his memory. It must be a pleasing reflection, not only to his particular friends, but to our fellow-citizens at large, fhat-Under his administration, this govern ment has fiauiiffied and obtained a refpcCta blc chara&er among her sister states. The public good unquestionably was tW chief objeft to which his political conduit was di rected. Gentlemen of the house of Reprefentntivet. The state of the public expenses and .'«v«nue is an objeft which most properly belongs to your department, and cannot fail to engage your careful attention- Tlte economy lhat will prove eventually the most favorable to the peo ple, is to guard against the introduiiioa of,a public debt ; »othing of this nature ought to txift in time of prosperity and peace ; and in whatever form a public debt may exist, it can aot fall lis iti op»rirf»>Vr» to prove unfavourable c to the p 'ople.

Its objeft was to get the name of < Duportail struck off from the lift of emi- i grants, under pretence that he was cast for 1 non-appdarance. But La Fayette also was 1 cast for tion-appearance ; the princes were ! equally so ; and for that very reason, no doubt, Dumolard demanded that the com mittee, appointed to report 011 that fubjeft he charged to irtclude all those, that had been cast for their nonappearance. From the MASSACHUSETTS SPT. THE NEIGHBOR. " Render to all their dues . —Honor to whom ' honor," I invite the attention of the numerous pa trons of this paper to a fubjeft, which they willownis at least as interesting as innumer able others, which they read in newspaper essays, The Importance and Respectability of the Clergy.—Should I suggest thoughts, which some of my readers have met with on j other occasions, or with which they are fa- ; miliar, I hope for their candor, feeing oth ers may not have had the fame advantage. The Great Superintendant of the uni verse is pleased to carry on his plans, and to effctl hio purposes, by subordinate instru ments and agents. As in the natural world he could, if he thought best, and that with infinite ease, have sustained all creatures, and supplied food for all flcfil, by his own immediate agency, without the conducivenefs of kindly seasons, or any care and toil of the hulbandman ; so, in the moral world, he could, with equal ease, by his invisible but powerful influences, effectually restrain from fin, inspire with all necessary knowledge, and compel to the performance of duty, and the observance of order, without rhe power of the magistrate, er the inftruftions of the preacher. And it was not to save himfelf trouble, nor to make the government of the world, or the production of holiness and happiness amoug men, the easier to himfelf, that he appointed such a proportion of du ty and service to his creatures, obliging them in some inftanees, to be mutual checks, and i'n innumerableothers, to be mutual assistants, so each other. But, as the allwife and be neficent Creator has endued every creature with faculties suited to its own and its con nefted state, afiigned him his proper station and sphere, and united them all by certain common bonds ; so, the execution of these faculties, within those spheres, strengthens and endears those ties, causes and inoreafes happiness, to the honor of the Prime Agent. It is surprising and delightful to observe, what an extenlive concatenation of subordi nate causes and agents runs through the natural and moral world, every link con necting with others, and necessary in its place. According to this subordination, and the plan which the Divine Contriver has eflabliflied, day and night, summer and winter, cold and heat, feed time and har veft,rain and fun(hine, labor andcontrivance,' are necessary in the natural world, for the various produdtions of the earth, for the sup port and convenience of the animal creation, especially of man. According to the fame 1 wife plan, the wisdom of legislators, the . power of magistrates, the coercion of laws, the government of families, the education of 1 schools, the studies, prayers, and labors of ■ moral and religious teachers, reading the scriptures, attendance on public worship and divine ordinances, are necessary in the moral - world, to prefervt) order, to prevent vice, > to produce virtue and happiness, and to train I up immortal beings for immortal bleffsdnefs. - In effedting these important purposes, no ' instruments, it is presumed, have so great a , hand, as those which are connected with • religion. They who are put in trust with - the gospel, are not only expeCted, but must » be acknowledged, to be the most aCtive, and r the most fuccefsful agents, in the hands of , the Divine Spirit, in efftCtingthe virtue-and - happiness of Iranian creatures. Every one - who knows what religion is, even in theory, ; but especially in praCtice, knows, that it has f the most friendly aspeCt on individuals, <md communities ; that, so far as genuine re ligion prevails in the heart, in life, and in communities, so far evil is prevented, and : happiness experienced. Religion not only ' cemprifes and enjoins ali these duties, which J we owe to God, but those also, which we owe to one another. And every one must [ readily own, that if all these duties were , praCtised, there would be universal order and 1 j tranquillity, universal love and beneficence, ■ j and therefore, universal happiness. What ever conduces to the fuppmt of religion,con- In d-uces to the well bring of mankind. And jfi what can have a greater tendency to this, ti than the institution of the gofpcl miniftrjr, I carried into operation and effect ? What c can tend mors to tht implantation andgrowth : o of religion in the minds and mann«rs of a men, than, the religiou3*inftrnflion, the wife t counsels, the pious examples, and the fervent r prayer;., of faithful minders ? MSy it not t be fairly concluded, that the world is prin- c cipallyindcbtedtothisorder of men, who, by 1 education'and paafeflion, are the public in- a ilrudtors of mankind in the things of reli- 1 gion, that this heavenly villtant is still so i welcome a gueit ? The discharge of the i miniderial office keeps up public worship, < and the fan&ifying inditutiqns of chriltiani- s ty ; exemplifies and promotes the duty of prayer, of confeffiou and thaukfgiviag ; and evinte3 the necessity of holding an inter course with the God of heaven, whose blef l sing is absolutely neccfiary to render men profperaos and happy. Cffnfeque'ntly, that degree of religious ( decorum and order, of veneration for tjhe Supreme Jseing, and re gard for the Sabbath, of tenderness of con fciflnce, and reftr'aint from vvickednefs, wh|ch yet remains, is chiefly to be aftribed, under God, to the fame cause. Does not experience and observation confirm marks ? Do not social virtue, and true re ligion, and consequently, peace and good order flourifh mod in those countriei, dates, towns and families, where a regular clergy is mod edeemed, bed supported and attend ed to ? On the other hand, is there not much less morality as as piety ; much lefsregularity and tranquillity, in those hoilf es, parifhts and dates, where chridian in ditutions, public worship, and the miniders of the gospel are undervalued and neglect ed ? It is pretty generally and readily ac knowledged, even by those who'fet little or nothing by religion for its own fake, that the clergy are a ufeful set of men, cortfidered in a view ; and on this account they are willing tie pay them a greater degree of refpedt and a&tttrtion than they would. fs true, that mo ral and relfefij.HS mftrudtions, admonitions and reproofs, impressed from time to time on the minds of all ages and characters, prepares and disposes both rulers and peo ple, for the ready and faithful discharge of their refpe£tive duties ; checks and prevents many vices, which would otherwise prevail to the great detriment of society ; and en courages and facilitates the growth of those virtues, by which individuals and the pub lic arc made honorably and happy. But as mankind have connexion with another world as well as with the present, so the «iiniders of religion are principally concerned with the spiritual affairs of men relative to that other world ; to cure them of their vicious propenfitics and habits ; to encourage and aflid them to live as the sons of God, with out rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverfc nation ; and to build, them up in holiness and comfort through faith unto salvation. So that the minidm of relig on,. bv affiding men to become denizens of the " Jerufalcm that is above," aflid them equal ly in beiug uCcful and peaceable citizens of civil communities below. The American clergy, particularly of New-England, have, with very few excep tions, deferred and maintained the charac ters of ItarncH,pious and patriotic. They have, in general, by their good discourses and exemplary lives, been greatly ufeful to men with regard both to their secular and eternal intereds. They have been honored as instruments ofpreferving peace and good order in societies. Their importance has been mod sensibly felt by their country in several critical periods, particularly in the J American revolution, at the adoption of the date and federal conditutions, and at a late alarming trifis. They are friends to equal liberty with necessary Subordination. And I believe it may be said, without flattery to them, or disparagement to others, that nei ther the bodies nor the fouls of men, neither their country nor mankind in general, have better friends, or greater benefadtors, than the clergy prove themfelvs to be. v If any should think that an apology is neceflary for writing so freely in favor of the clergy, who are well able to defend them i selves, I will answer in the words of a cele , brated writer-} " I have the rather under - taken this bufiiiefs, from a convidtion, that I when the clergy are despised, they will de . generate ; and that with them will decline the morals, the learning, the religion, and r the importance of my country." , From the Farmer's Weekly Museum, shoes. ; If common sense were to commence noisy \ , patriot, and preach tyranny in this country, j f I believe it would begin with the tyranny f of falhion, or what word-coiners might call e tonocracy. Thanks to the spirit ef liberty, 3 we have gained the redress of many grievan ,l ces. Our mothers and elder fiders can re , member when they were clasped round the n waist, and almost reduced to the size of an i. infedt by this capricious tyrannefo. This o age ef reason can boad of some improve a ments. Whale-bone days, the badile of li ease and elegance, are demolished ; female h charms are liberated, and may take an air* ft ing on a fuuimer's day.—l would query d with the faculty ; (hall we not hear of sew s er consumptions ? d Therearc other grievances to be redrefled; e my toes are this minute complaining of the ■, oppreflion of tonocracy. Nature was pleased s to give me a pair of feet, the very contrad d of a Chinese lady's ; falhion and the shoe makers, fay I mud wear i pair of (harp n toed /hoes ; they are the ton.—Tonocracy d is the mod arbitrary and whimsical of all y " ocracies and falhion and nature are al h ways quarrelling. My toes are crammed e together in close prison—they mud be libe !t fated, or I fliall be obliged to find other, e than my uftial means of conveyance: tam d ! not.the only fufferer. Now phyfieians tell •, ; us, a-free circulation of the blood is necefr i- j fary for our health and that it should never be confined in the limbs. Tight shoes, be- c fides causing corns, arid chafed heels and 1 toes prevent this free circulation. Again, '' I would query with the faculty ; is hot the v close confinement of those faithful servants, g our feet, sometimes the cause of the cramp j and gout ? If so, let them have ftiore liber- v ty. Let reformation begin at home. Say ' no more about aridocracy and kingoeracy, 1 the other fide of the Atlantic, till we have corredted the abuses of tonocracy at home. Ease and economy in di t-fs, are the fame to an individual, that frugality and a free con ditutiou are to a nation ; and I believe there is not a dwarf or giant of a politician among us, who will not allow, that we are fleeced and galled as much by fafl»ion, in one year, as we are by adminidration in ten. From the Sporting Magazine. Philosophical History of the Can is E ] Genus. : The late proceedings in the British sen ate, refpedting a tax on dogs, have set many persons on an enquiry into the nature, and the different fpccies of the canine. *elros. A learned gentleman, who is a firm believ er in the transmigration of fouls, and who has acquired the dnpendous art of didin guifhing, at the fight of any animal, from what cliffs of mankind his foul is derived, has favoured us with the following intelligence: The fouls of deceased bailiffs and common condables, are in the bodies of setting dogs and pointers. The terriers are inhabited by trading jus tices. The blood hounds were formerly a let of informers, thief takers, and falfe evidences. The spaniels were heretofore courtiers, hangers on of adminidration, and hack jour nal writers—all of whom preserve their pri mitive qualities of fawning on their feeders, licking their hands and their spittle, and snarling and faapping at all who offer to of fend their master. A former train of gamblers and blacklegs, are now embodied in that specieS of dogs, ttiled lurchers. Bull dogs and tnaflifls were once butch ers and drovers. Greyhounds and beagles owe their ani mation to country 'squires and fox hunters. Little, whiffling, nftlefs lap dogs draw their existence from the quondam beau, im caronies, and gentlemen of the tippy ; dill being the play things of ladies, and used for their diversion. There is also a set of fad dogs derived from attornies—and puppies, who Were in pad time attornies clerks, shop men to retail haberdalhers, men milliners, &c. &c. Tunifpits are animated by old aldermen, who dill enjoy the smell of the road pieat. That droning, snarling species, diled Dutch pugs, have been fellows of colleges. And that faithful, ufeful tribe of shep herd's dogs, were in days of yore members of parliament—who guarded the flock, and protedted the sheep from wolves and thieves ; though indeed of late some have turned sheep biters, and worried those they ought to have defended.
