Speech Of His ExeeAfncy the GU


eynor.


May it pleafe your Excellency.


THE Houfe of r ePrefentatives
have received, with plcafure, the
communications of your excellencb
and will give them a prompt and
deliberate confederation. The pre-
fcnt feiIion has been hitherto chiefly
devoted to the organization of the
Government, and this being accom-.
plifhed, it feems inexpedient to pro
long it unlefs the prehure of the pub
lie ferviee requires. In the exercIe
of the confitutiunal power of the
two branches of the legifaturc, re-
the returns and election OF a
Chief Magiftrate, various qutltions
of great importance have arifen, and
occafioned much elaboration, IN or
der that fuoh declGons nigh; he
made as comport with the true prin-
ciples Of our government and the
permanent interefts of the people.


Differences Of political opinion
unavoidably flow from the free exer-
cife of the understanding, and are
intimately connected with the nature
of Republican Infiiutions. " hen
confined within the boundary OF
rcafon they may be conlidered as
falutary, by awakening fPirit OF IN
quiry, and ditfufng lentiment Of
toleration. But the interelt and
tranquility Of every government re-
qure, on the part Of the people, a
refpedful attention TO the con!titu-
ted authorities, which fhali reGit the
imputation of improper motives OF
conduit, and on the parr of thofe
authorities an elevated ambition for
the public good, which fhall bury
party animofitles and private re-
fentments BY faithful dilcharge
of the duties prefcribed by the con-
ftitution, by an endeavour to pro-
mote harmony in the moment of
political diilentions, and by hncere
determination to act for the public
welfare. we hope to merit the con6-
dence and to promote the felicity of
our fellow citizens.


Blef as we. are, with a conftitu-
ton, formed upon the principles of
political wildom, and with nation
al administration, whoic meaiures
are directed to the honor and prof
perity of our country, we cannot
fail to enjoy the benefits of liberty,
if we are not infen6ble of our duties,
or carelefs of our privileges. Reno
we'd from the contentious and mife-
ries of foreign nations, may we iup-
port the dignity of free men by a
generous confidence in our rulers,
and by an exalted fenfe of national
character.
