WHEN your sieved WASH
INGTON, the father of his
country, died !—you saw with increas
ed fenfibilit, the universe in tears ! A
mericans ! How did your bosoms dilate
and glow, when, at the firft meeting of
your political fathers followed the mel
ancholy event, you saw the call for a
monument worthy of the sublime vir
tues you hoped , to perpetuate, univer-
Tally applauded !
How then fellow-countrymen,- have
ye permitted two whole years to pass
face the noble and natural resolution
was every where individually formed ;
and the traveller still to ask in vain,
Where it THE NATIONAL MONU
MENT,fared to Public and Private Vir
tue ; to the manes of the illustrious WASH
INGTON ?
Columbians ! you owe to the world
as well as to yourselves, an apology,or
an explanation, for the mysterious de
lay of your acknowledged duty : Since
nothing can be more true, than that a
mere difference of opinion, refpeding
the form of the Monument, or the mode
of its elevation, is the sole cause. To
prove this, let us agree at once to obvi
ate all difficulty, by uniting in a simple
plan to accord with the annexed, now
in operation :—
Terms of Subscription, to a
MONUMENT,
GEORGE WASHINGTON;
To be ereded in the city bearing his
name, by the voluntary contribution
of citizens of the U. States only
The form and inferiptions, to be
under the entire direction of
three Trustees.
It is with the highest gratification
we announce, that the fabjed of a Mon
ument to Washington, has attraded
due notice. We are given to under
stand, from a refpedable source, that
the fubfeription in this city will origi
nate on the 4th of July, with the Soci
ety of the Cincinnati, the companions
in arms of the Illuftricus Hero, who un
der Providence achieved American In
dependence—the commemoration of
which will be charaderiftically appro
priated, in promoting this objed of
national refped and gratitude.

Your Excellency has perfeaiy ex
pressed our sentiments refpe&ing the
importance of habits, opinions, morals,
and religion, iri free Governmen ts:
we firmly believe them to be the foun
dation on which republics reft,arid that
in proportion as these are ffiaken, the
whole fuperftru&ure will be convulsed;
therefore, all attempts to mifteprefent
the measures of Government, we con
rider as hostile to the fafety, prosperity
and peace of the community ; and it is
witA rfo small degree of indignation we
fee " the liberty of the press" so grossly
abused to promote the purposes of de
ception and subvert the liberties, the
morals, and happiness, of our country
men. Deeply impteffed with these sen
timents, we thall not be inattentive to
the recommendation of your Excellen
cy, as Legislators and Magistrates, to
do whatever may be in our power,both
by precept arid example, for the fup
preiion of licentiousness and immorali
ty, and for the promotion of ufeful
knowledge; virtue, and religion. it
We mall carefully strive to render
even more perfed those fyftenis of gov
ernment from which we have already
derived such important bleflings by en
deavoring to remedy those defers which 1
attend the most accurate prodri&ions of
human wisdom ; but in this attempt
we Shall cautiously follow the fafe in
ftrudions of experience, sensible that
theoretical calculations serve merely to
weaken that energy which is of peculiar
importance,efpecially in a government
extended like that of the United States,
over fp large |a territory, and with a

Answer of the Senate to TEE Ger
error's Speech.
May it pteafe your Excellency, , ~,
AT a period when our Country Ia„
ments the exclusion cf many of
her ancient and lortg approved Benefac
tors from her Councils & Government,
it is with peculiar pleasure we fee your
Excellency yet enjoying the confidence
of the citizens of this State, arid to find
you disposed to accept the important
trust committed to you by their fiifta
ges. Your Excellency's former admin
istration affords us a fatisfying evidence,
that your communications to us will
be dilated by a wife and faithful re
gard to the public good, and that all
our endeavors to promote the fame im
portant objed, will meet yohr fanftion
and ready concurrence. By an assur
ance of our firm support in every mea
sure which shall appear to be conducive
to the interests of our constituents, per
mit us to invite your Excellency to a
reciprocal confidence.
Altho' the particular interests of this
State demand our primary attention,
we sincerely participate in the repose
granted our European brethren from
the alarms and calamities of war ; and
notwithstanding the threatening afpe&
which the accumulated power of a par
ticular nation, and the depression of
others, may have upon the continuance
of peace, we would fondly cherilh the
pleasing idea that these temporary agi
tations will result in the advancement of
genuine liberty, and the bappinefs of
mankind.
A sense of the dangers which have
surrounded us, amidlt the conflicts of
contending nations, is highly calcula
ted to excite our grateful joy, and to
appreciate, in out estimation, the wis
dom and propriet, of those measures
which were the conspicuous means of
preferyirig our country from many in,
fidious attempts to involve us in the
convulsions of Europe. It remains,
however; matter of deep regret, that
those attempts, although failing of their
ultimate objed, have prevailed to dis
seminate those principles of division
which impair our strength, degrade our
dignity, arid even endanger our nation
al exigence : And were the means in
tar power by which we cotfid extend
the pacifications of Europe to the breads
of Americans, most ardently Should we
embrace them as the fdreft means of
