To THOMAS M'KEAN, Governor efthe Commonwealth of Pennsylvania' Sit;, The obligations of honor, gratitude, and interefl aTe itrong tiej ; and when to those arp added, th- solemn pledge of ao oath to support the conllitution of the common wealth and of the United States, which the me:rib;rs of die Iloufe of Reprelenta tives as well aft yuurfelf have taken, nor a (haiow of d >ubt ought to remain of your having their constant co operation in a'l ob jefts which may contribute to the happi ness and prosperity of our constituents. We believe, Sir, as y,>u in your commu nication to us have expressed. that the pre fcut crifu iu human affairs demands the ex ercise of wisdom, moderation »nd fortitude trom a!l who ari employed in the business of government. A conduft uniformly re gulated by such principles, would be re warded in its happy effe&s—wife in the choice of officers, moderate in administra tion, and Itrong in the pursuit of mcafures good, we might have a seasonable ground of hope, that the approbation of ourconfti tucnts and the bteifing of Heaven could en sue. We think it however, due to our con ilituents, to express our further belief, that d'ftinguiflting the State by parties and ap plying the epithets of traitors, tories, refu gees, French aristocrats, Biitiih agents, apoflat* whigs, kc. to nearly one half of the freemen of the commonwealth, is far from bei.ig a teltimony of such wisdom, moderation and fortitude, and will not, in the remoted degree, contribute to concili ate the opinions of the people generally. We had accepted your communication tc the Legislature as an earned, that althou,;!, your mind might have been previouily dif turbed by the opposition of fomr, you hue trom that moment discarded the impreffioi acknowledge the fallacy of our hope, inaf much as we have seen that many of ike oLt fold it ri and officers in our revolutionary war are to be difmifTed from their prefen employments without even an imputatioi of mal content. We lament the occafton which calls for this language, but animated by a spirit of republicanism, and disdaining the servility of courtly adulation, we are impelled to use it. It would give us sincere plcafure, if, from this day, the language, and iht tonduß lot ok the legilktire and executive branches of our government Ihould be fo«nd to unite for the common welfare; and that our con stituents (bould harmonize and convince the world that party ahiaofity is merged in univerfa! regard to our conftituticoal rights, aud the dignity of our independence.
