j Perfeaion in hitman affairs is not to

if it is free— if We have the choice as fre
quently is we with, of persons to admin

i< It not proper to givea firm support to,
the laws and administration of fuels a

to consider how far clamour and o,p< fi
tion thereto have ihvited, or procured,
or may mMte or procure inquiries from
.any.foreign natioh.
>The depredations pn our navigation
and commerce, must not only be fenfibiy
felt by the immediate individual fi ff reft_
but conGdered as a great injury and in,
dignity to the nation—to prevent the fu-,
tore and procure falisfaction for the past,
appertains to our national government.
To guard our rights, and fully and
candidly examine the condu& of every
one whose appointment we have a voice
. in, is a duty incumbent on every citizen ;
but mould we in any future time neglect
or raifufe our privileges until we find our
selves either in a state of anarchy, or gov
erned by tyrants, we must then look back*
te the present happy state with detp re
gret for the less—a state which perhaps
may not be regained ' until the blood of
many citizens is shed as the price.
Incur Confiliation it is expressly de
clared that " knowledge and learning are
essential to the preferration of 1 free gov
ernment," and that " it shall be the du
sty of rhe leg'rfl tures and magiftmes in
all figure periods of this government, to
cherish the iotereft of literaipre and the

what laws, the interests of literature and,

Permit me to aft that adue attention
may be paid to the fubjeft of all public
laws at an early period in the session,
that time may be given for their thoro'
