To the SSenate and Nome o/Rejjreaentativea of the
Commonwealth of Penntylpania : • >
• Fklww Citizxnb :—The legislative branch bfl.ho
'y. meets under circumstances calculated
toprodiicodecj* emotions of graiitbdo. The events
• ; of (he post your. cannot fail to afford assurance of
y tho continued mercy of (ho Almighty Father of (ho.
E..;' Universe, and of tho blecsinga ho has dispensed to -
(He people of (his Commonwealth. While let other
f parts of our Country, and In distant lands, pcStilonfco •
|ibas made fearful ravages ; leaving In its track the
■/ wretchedness of deslUutidh and tho loars si crushed,
’■ . affections; a healthful J climate, in thd disposal of a j
righteous Providence, has preserved the ciUzcns-of j
' (He Slate comparatively free from the miseries of the
destroyer. During a period - of War, famine and civil
commotion in tho old world, bringing in ihoir train {
desolation and want; blighting tho hopes, parnluing
the industry, and,rujnlng.tHe: prosperity of the pco-.
pie* pur beloycd Commonwealth, in umoii,wil|i oth
ers under; llioNaUdnal, Constitution, has enjoyed tho
dbltghts of peace,'and her clllzdna, in the exercise
of Industrial pursuits, have found,,contentment apd
competence. To tho Author and Guardian.of our
being; whoso beneficence caused,all things to work
together for our good, out 1 rcveronco and gratitude
are especially due. ’ ‘ ,1 ;
' The recent efforts for tho establishment of liberal
political Institutions in Europe, have excited, in tho
poeplo ; of- this - country, thewarmest sympathies.—
The conflict between tho oppressor and tho oppress*
cd, . whatever may bo tho incidents or .results, ha*
ving. for Us object a government. capoble-,of protec*
ting and extending political and : sooial liberty, must
be regarded by (he popple of the United Slates.with
(lip,deepest solicitude. In the enjoyment;pf- institu
tions which recognize the .inherent' rights bfman,
and are founded on. tho acknowledged principle,Uml
'all political power is a trust to be. exercised for the
s/vj;: benefit of tho citizen, they cannot witness the fitrug
,v;" gle between despotism and freedom, without; ardent
hopes and sincere prayers for the triumph of liberal
| and enlarged justice. It Is impossible'to behold a
people long tho subjects of tyranny and oppression ;
| —enlightened by our example, and solioilous for equal
£• enjoyments {—rising upbonoalh'tho burthens which
I centuries have hooped upon thom {—casting aside tho
I reverence for power, and (ho pride of regal splendor;
| leaking forward to tho establishment of .human rights,
' to the elevation, of the moral und social condition of
||„ society ; and placing their liycs and fortunes on the
E hazard of a struggle, for these objects; .without on
Eft our part, on earnest, an anxious desire that they may
K' succeed; That struggle has boon unsuccessful. The
■& . arbitrary Governments, in whoso midst the noble
BHfe'band of patriots creeled their standard, have succeed*
jHE'cd with their immense farce In maintaining tyrannl*
gjgßtbal authority, and the -bravo tnen-who < fought for
have cither-perished under the barbarous
of despotic will, or they, wander in foreign
■ exiles from homes, that no longer afford , secu.
'latit.y. It is net tho {policy of our National Govern*
kb miHgio In thb bontroversics of foreign na.
nor is it desirable that it should, by acts of
.‘ or friendship, .break up (lie Commercial
which exist for motual .advantage; but it
no Violation of intcrnational.law.to
s'niWer cur solemn protest ahil .warning against acts
IRfcruolty and barbarism upon heroic men
