Friends and Countrymen,
%^ ~ E are now entered into the sixth year of the
V^ war, and yet experience has no. furnifhed us
with wisdom. Our officers and soldiers have indeed
acquired considerable degree of military knowledge.
But every department of government, in every ftatein
the union, seems rather to have loft a part of what
they possessed at the beginning of the contest, than to
have added to their original flock. When fir William
Howe landed on this continent with above thirty thous
and veteran soldiers in 1776, though you had nothing
but inexperienced and undisciplined troops to oppose to
them, no despondency was to be seen. At the begin
ning you were beaten, which was expected by every
body who had any knowledge of the hiflory of the
world. The perfever nc^ however, and exerti r as of
Congress, and of the different Rates, prevented the
enemy from reaping the advantages which they expect
ed from their fhccefs. Their objects were conquest
and subjugation, and they were difappoioted. The
capture of th Hessians at Trenton, and the engage
ment at Princeton, which immediately followed that
event, reflected the highest honour on your general
and the troops under l:is command, and gave the firri
favourable turn to your affrirs. And the courage and
conduct of your army at Saratoga, impressed all Eu
rope with a high opinion of your military char ter.
The virtuous cause in which America was engaged,
the wisdom of her counfeJs, and the bravery of her
troops, were every where the fubjefts of rojv r rfation.
Your friends were del gi>ted and the various publica
tions which appeared in England, together with the
debates of the English parliament, proved, that your
enemies could not withhold their admiration, at the
fame time thatthey were confounded and astonished.
In the hour of their iifolerce, the throne of Eng
land had been in vain besieged by your fupplicatons.
Offers were now made on t eir part and rejected, infi
nitely more favourable to America, than had ever been
proposed by her. Theft offers came too late Your
representatives in Congress had resolved, to break the
political bands which had connected you with England,
and to assume among the powers of the earth the ft
parate ahtiequal Ration, to which the laws of nature
and of nature's God entitkdyoo. And for the support
of that declaration had pledged their lives, fortunes,
.and their sacred honor.
Other insuperable obelions presented themselves
against the acceptance of the offers of Great Britain
The most folemu engagements had bem entered into
by treaty f it.l the King of France, that neither of
the contrasting parties ffiould conclu le either truce or
peace with her, Without the formal confept of the
other; and the? had mutually engaged notto lay down
their arms, until the wdepea ie.<e of the United
States, which is declared r& be the essential and direct
end of the alliance, humid be secured. The two con
trading parties lik.-rife engaged " to make all the
ercort in tmir power, agaiuft their common enemy,
in order to attain the end propofeL
