'ivr open: I tueport ? I ask the candid
mind to answer the quefllon ?
A law passed authorizing the PreG
dent to bold in readiness, to march at
a moment's warning, 80,000 militia, or
to accept of the service of any portion
of them as volunteers. I did not vote
lor this law, because I do believe it to
be a violation of the constitution. That
inurnment exp^ef^y gives the power of
ralfing and supporting armies to Con
gress ; and I do not believe it fafe or
cbhßitutional to transfer their power to
the President or any other person. If
troops are necessary, Congress ought to
raise them.—ls they are found neceßa
ry in the recess, the Prelident can con
vene Congress. Betides this objection,
others operated with me. It is well
known that militia cannot be marched
out of the United States, and no partic
ular provision is made for railing vol
unteers. Hence I conclude they will
not be raised. I therefore confider the
lawa pompous nullity.
Various proportions were made from
both the republican and federal fide of
the House on the fubjeft of the port of
New-Orleans ; and both in my opinion
equally ipencere.
The republicans laboring by faint
(hews,to quiet.the minds ®f the weftern
people, left they might attempt te, re
venge their own wrongs, and thereby
commit the peace of the United States
before the result of negeciatioa could
be known, and the federalists exerting
themselves to eniba.rrafs the negotiation
so as to defeat its objea. I mud there
fore conclude,that in the contest of con?
fliaing parties, already advanced too
far in opposition to each other, the wef
terripeople have been neglected. For
I cannot impute to any of our filler
Rates, the want of good will towards
us. I have already said the political
contest had gone too far—l explain in
this way ; under the administration of
Mr. Adams the republicans, then the
minority, complained of the following
errors, viz.— The constant increase of
expence—the thirst he (hewed for pow
er—and willingness to engage in war on
flight pretences. Under the adminis
tration of Mr. Jefferfon, the leading re
publican members have pledged them
selves to pay a national debt in seven
teen years, after repealing the taxes :
Any step therefore that will break in on
this arrangment will be opposed by the
leading republicans because the wisdom
of the Prelident, and accuracy of the
Secretary of the Treasury, are at Stake.
Every step therefore that tends to assim
ilate the ad niniftration of Mr. Jefferfon
to that ct Mr. Adams, whether it be
necessary or not, will be opposed by the
present majority. The federalists, de
hrous of bringing the administration of
Mr Jefferfon into disrepute, Will do all
in their power to adopt measures calcu
lated to increase expence,and if possible,
breed war, no matter on what pretences
or with what nation. So that they may
fay,Adams made peace : Jefcrfenmade
war. Early last session, a resolution
was introduced and passed relating to
the port of New-Orleans ; wherein it
was declared, that Congress received
with" sensibility the information of the
doling of that port &c. But adhering
to their former pacific disposition, &c. I
did not vote for this resolution, because
at a time when one of the best rights of
the weftern people was arbitrarily with
held from them, I did not think it pro
per to declare we would be pacific. Os
what avail is national strength if we do
not exert it to hold our rights. lam
for being pacific so as relates to the
rights of other nations ; but will repel
by force every encroachment on our
national rights.
I will add only one remark more ori
this fubjed, viz. I fee the Spanish minis
ter here has declared the port of New-
Orleans again open to the Americans :
But if the public prints arc to be cred
ited, that island is in possession cf the
French ; at lead L'Auffal, in the name
cf the French republic, has issued a
proclamation to that effed. I ftippofe
the Spanilh authority has ceased—and
if the French gain possession of that
country, our hopes of ever obtaining it
are very faint. I believe we have let
the golden opportunity pals by, with
out reaping the benefits it offered us.
There was one other inftar.ee in which I
thought the weflern people were refufed
a reasonable indulgence, to wit : As the
government could not or did net protest
us in the enjoyment of the right of de
posit at Orleans, and as our produce
without it mud pefdh on our hands,arid
of course the farmer be without money
to pay his taxes, I introduced a resolu
tion. to suspend fc colleaion of taxes
due tee United States, in the weflern
country uitH the port was restored.
This resolution was reject'd by the com
r.ittee of ways and means.: although
a similar indulgence had but a few days
before been granted to the merchants of '
PortifnouT, New-Hampfliire..

Answer of the Senate to the Governor's
Speech.
May if ,!eafe your Excellency,
AS the Representatives of a free People,
the Senate of New- Hampshire are highly grat
ified in the view of that prosperity and happiness
which the citizens of the State so generally en
joy ; and should any grievance be discovered,
which will admit of Legislative remedy, our
endeavors fall be directed to apply that relief
in the moil prompt and effe&uai manner.
The new proportion for Taxes, which the
Confutation requires to be made the present
year, ball receive from us all that attention
which the fubjc& demands,
The importance of a well regulated Militia,
for the support of a free Government, must be
evident to every person of information. The
adoption of those measures which may place the
Militia of this State in a rcfpedable condition,
we confider CTebfed of the greatest magnitude.
Should the differences, now cxifting among
some of the European nations with whom we
have connexions, terminate in war, we hope that
every meafuie, confident with the honor of the
' Nation, will be adopted, th preserve a firi& and
an impartial neutrality. But should the ag
: greflions of the ambitious and unprincipled com
pel us to take an. attitude of defence, we trust
that Americans will not be found wanting
in courage and prowess to avenge the wrongs of
their Country.
To Itffcn the energies of our National Gov
ernment,in either of its branches, would, under
exiting circumftar.cts, endanger the rational
liberty we now enjoy, and eventually tend to
lubvert that system of Government under which
the United States have attained so great a de
gree of refpedl ability and confeaucuce iu the
* political world.
year. Ihis diminution of exports ap
pears to have taken place in the middle
and southern states (Georgia excepted)
while the eastern Rates have rather gain
ed in their aggregate for the last year.
This may be accounted for in two ways
—lft. a reduftion of the price of the sta
ple commodities in the middle & south
ern states (except Georgra) while those
of the eastern Rates have kept up their
former prices : 2dly, there being a gr-at
number of vessel owners in the eastern
Rates, so that their produce finds its way
to market sooner and with more ease
than the ether Rates, and because they
have their carrying trade in their own
hands, while the other Rates are depen
dent on vessel owners from abroad to
take their produce to a market. I think
our national prosperity has grown faft
under the administration of Mr. Jeffer
fon. The farmer and laborer, relieved
from taxation, enjoy the fruit of their
industry—our manufactories daily in
creasing—our national debt melting
away by the help of commerce—fede
ralifm almost destroyed —and the vio
lence of party in society considerable
lessened.
It has been reported that I had de
clined being a candidate for the next
Congress with a view of favoring the
eledion of Gen. Adair. I declare that
I had n® such view : I wish to fee inde
pendent men elected to the next Con
gfefs—men who; regardless of the
charge of federalifm, will firmly con
tend for the rights of the weftern people.
CT I wish to fee those men elected
members, who will view with becoming
jealousy, the growing influence of the
great states of New-York and Virginia,
in the councils of the nation.
With sentiments of the. highest refpet,

pay nine millions of dollars in difeharge
of the "principal and interest cf the na

In addition to this, the secretary of ^he
treasury assures us, that ualefs some un-
Torefeen calamity shall befall us, there
will be no necessity for increasing the

The fem necessary to meet the current
expenses of the government this year, is
2,650,000 dollars. About the time
Mr. Jefferfon came into office, the cur
rent expences of the government was
near three times that sum. The war
fare in which we were engaged with
Tripoli, is not yet determined. Some
armed vessels are continued in the Me
diterranean sea, for the purpose of pro
te&ng our commerce in that quarter.
The late peace in Europe has had
a material effect on our exports. The
value of exports from the United States,
in the year 1801, was ninety three mil
lion cf dollars; for 1802 it was
71,857,144 dollars—a sum less by near
20000,000 dollars, than the preceding

^he duties, which the Conftkution enjoins
upon the Citizens and Members of Government,
we feel in the ftrnngeft toanner obligatory upon
us ; convinced, that the pra&ice of those official,
moral, and social duties, together with a general
dissemination of knowledge among the great
body of the people, are indifpcufable requisites
to the fapport of a free Government.
Your Excellency's official conduct hitherto,
affords us the strongest evidence of your readi

Anfwerof the House of Representatives
to the Governor's Speech.
May it please your Excellency,
OBEDIENT to the Conftittition and
the choice of our Fellow-Citizens, we are assem
bled to difeharge the important duties, of Legis
lation.—To meet your Excellency again, inveil
ed with the Office of First Magistrate of the
State, inspires us with confidence to persevere
in the duties of our Department, under the af
farance, that your talents and experience, so
long recognized, will be united with our exer
tions for the public good.
The general happiness and profperity,enjoyed
throughout the State, is a proof that no griev
ances of magnitude exist ; it is also a proof, that
the public mind is actuated by that moderation
and virtue, which alone can ensure out exigence
as a free people. To improve and persevere in
such habits, is a primary duty. Whatever tends
to deprave opinion, or deceive the public, Should
meet an early refinance.
. Our jurisprudence has been greatly matured
by the labours of former legislators. To improve
if possible, the principles by them.adopted, will
be more fafe than to hazard the experiment of
new systems. It is wisdom to profit by the ad
monitions of Experience ; and fafe habits Should
be rendered permanent. Restless ambition may
suggest alteration, under the pretence of im
provement; but we believe, that the best friend
of a free People, is he, who administers to their
peace, by foftering laws and cuftemi which have
been proved Salutary.by pradice. . .-
The Constitution of the United States, and of
this State, contains preempts worthy the attention
and sacred regard of a free People. As the
pledges of our union and fafety, we feel the ne
cessity of advocating and defending their prin
ciples. That we may long continue in the
practice of this Sentiment, it will be necessary
to cultivate the ufeful Arts and Sciences; to
improve the public mind with Literature, by
rendering information equally attainable by ail
classes of people.
Agriculture is the laudable pursuit of most of
our fellow citizens, To give it every encour
agement, by assisting Commerce and the ufeful
Arts, will ever be the pleafarc of virtuous Le
gislators.
In the communication from the Executive of
the United States, and in your Excellency sad
dress, we recognize.with pride, those fentimepts
respecting the Militia, which accord with our
own. If we wish to avoid the necessity of a
{landing army; if we wifa to repel National in
felt and injury; if we wish to preserve the dig
nity which belongs to a Republic ; we must be
come an armed Nation, and array the strength
given us by the God of nature. Atthe prefect
crisis, while the peace of Europe is uncertain, to
assume a pofttire capable of maintaining a digni
fied neutrality, in the event of foreign war, we
conceive to be our best interest —Alarmed by
recent occurrences, we feel the propriety of be
ing able to prevent a repetition of National in
fu!t or injury.
The rapid increase of the population of the
United States, admits of no diminution of aur
National energies ; and we have reason to be
lieve, that the immense number of foreigners
who have taken fan&uay under the mildness of
our Laws, have made no addition to our Na
tional harmony. II pursued by persecution in
their native countries, our humanity offers an'
asylum ; but we hope our indulgence will never
warrant them in diflurbing Society.
We believe it to be fublhntially true, that
virtue is a necessary Spring of popular Govern
moot ; hence the necessity of cultivating good
morals and correct information:
We assure your Excellency of our prompt at
tention to your communications ; and we (ball
be happy in uniting our efforts to promote the
harmony and happiness of our Constituents.
