Gentlemen of the Senate, and
Gentlemen of the Houk of Hepretentativee,
The first session of the Legislature is
generally, aud necessarily so short, as to
occasion the postponement of much busi

leisure for patient discussion and just de
cision.

in which the suit may be pending, and
that, on giving such security, judgemen
may be entered for the settler.
Among the subjects of a more general
vnd publick nature, none ha* higher claln
to your serious reflection, than the law*
relating to the Militia. To a free people
this is, at all times, an Interesting concern.
In the peculiar and perilous state of our
foreign relations, it would be the extreme
of delusion to consider war improbable.—
The defenceless condition of* ur extensive
frontiers, and the smallness of oJb naval
force, leave no hope of preventing inva
sion or bf resisting an enemy until landed
on our soil. In such an event, our imme
diate reliance must be op th* Militia of the
State. To fender this, then, to sav the
least, our first resource fur defence, a* ef
ficient as possible, is not merel) the dic
tate of prudence, but the imperious call of
a necessity imposed by circumstances over
which we may have no control.
In the course of the autumn, I attended
the review of two biigndes, being all the
brigade reviews of which I had any know
ledge ; the first of General Wood’s, of the
eleventh division, and the other of General
Goodale’s, of the second. The order, ie
gulatity and discipline exhibited on these
occasions, reflected much honour on the
officers and soldiers that composed the
brigades.
In the month of September, several
persons were committed to prison in the
County of Kennebeck, on a charge of mur
der. Shortly after their commitment, ap
prehension* were entertained, that a dan
gerous insurrection would be excited for
the purpose of obstructing the course of
justice, by an attempt to rescue the pri
soners. The Justices of the Court of Com
mon Pkas, and the Sheriff of the County,
with * due regard to the trust devolved
upon them from the djstatice of the Com
mander in Chief, on the fourth of Octo
ber, certified to Major-General Sewall,
commanding the eighth division of militia,
that it wffs necessary that a force, consist
ing of three hundred men, should be ii •
stantly raised and called forth,for the sup
pression of the apprehended insurrection.
On which the Major-General detached
thut number of militia, armed and equip
ped ac«rasJing to law. Notice of this ap
plication, and of the doings of tße Maj-Ji•
General, was immediately transmitted to
the Commaiider in Chief, who issued such
orders as were authorized by law, and as
’he exigency of the case required.
Aware of the necessity of ensuring a due
administration of the Laws, and not insen
sible to the duty of rendering the sen ice
is little burthensome as possible to the
niblick, and to the individuals who were
subject to b« detached, and presuming on
the effect of the good dispositions which
were manifested by the citizens in that
< ounty, to prevent all obstruction to the
■egular course of justice, and of the promp
titude and alacrity of the militia, in obey
ing the orders of the Major-General, it
was thought advisable to direct a detach
ment of one hundred and fifty tnen only,
with permission to General if, on
consultation with the Magistrates and
Sheriff, half th it number sluZld (>e deem
ed sufficient to be on actual diky, to relieve
<he men by turns, or in such way a* he
might judge proper. The Magistrates and
Sheriff having certified to the Majur-Gcn
cral that one hundred men would be suf
ficient for the purjiose intended, he per
mitted all above that number to return
home.
All the papers respecting this transac
tion, will be laid before the Legislature ;
and it is confidently hoped, that a proper
regard to the necessity of rendering the
law* supreme, the econotpy of puMfck
money, and of the tune and services of in
dividuals, will appear to have guided the
conduct of all who were called to act in
this unhappy business.
To the officer* and men who were de
tached, great praise is due, for tlie prompt
ness with which they obeyed the call*of
their Country ; and the order and disci
pline which they evinced un duty, mani
fested a just sense of their obligation* a*
citisen* aud soldiei*.
A» account of the expense* incurred on
thi* occasion, will be presented, whetr it
will be Cor the Legislature to make such
provision for defray mg them, as justice
shall require.
‘ While it is a matter of deep regret that
any of our countrymen should be so aban
doned as to make attempt* against the
free course of justice, on which the right*
of all depend, it must affiird great satbfnc
i >n to iiflect, that the at

So soon a* the necessity for a military

In obedience to a resolve of the 2Qth of

Constitution of the United States, respect

a copy of the same was transmitted to th*
Chief M igisti ates of the several Stales in.

might be communicated to the Legislwtutet,
of such States. The answers which hav*.
been received, will be sent to the LtfyUa- |
ture.
At the last session, we had the happi*>
ness ot mutual congratulation on the prq*>
nect of amicable adjustment of ou! miitonat
differences with one of the great bellige
rents of Europe, and pf a revival of our
Commerce, so essential to. the prosperity
<>J this Commonwealth ; subsequent r-venta.
'hew our relation to the powers at war to. ' i
be in a most critical and alnrmug state.
Although our commercial and foreign
concerns are confided to the got eminent
of the Union, yet so deeply involved .are
we in every thing which regards them,
that the exercise of all constitutional
means, either to prevent the
that threaten us, or to prepare to meet
■ hem in a becoming manner, is a duty too
.imperative to l>c neglected. Having don*
<ll in our power, to these ends, we may
humbly rely on that Divine Ptnvidvnc* a;
which has so often and so signally inter- <<
psed to relieve our country from impend
ing danger, to alf human e’yea incvWubl* '*•
and overwhelming. It would be snperflu
ma in me again to recommend candour
and prudence in discussion,' always laces

one must see, that, in the present porten
tous crisis of our affairs, these qualities,
with a disinterested elevation above all
party spirit, are indispensable to the safe- >
ty nf our dearest rights and best intcrcsis.
The principles which I took the liberty, *
of submitting to your notice the last scs?*
sion, and of avowing as the rule of my con
duct, have invariably guided the Execu
tive in the performance of all its duties ;>
and while 1 have the firmest convictmni
that they are just in themselves, and that
a strict adherence to them hi ail who ad->

constitution under which we act, I c*n-en
