Follow Citizens of the Senate,

DEING again called to the office of First
* Magistrate, I cannot forbear to make
known to my fellow citizens of the state at
large, the refpeaful sense l entertain of the
honor conferred on me by their fuffrages.—
In addition to all other motives of duty, this
mark of their particular attention calls upon
my grateful affections, for exertions in pro
moting the public welfare.
Agreeable to the request of the legislature
in January last, I transmitted one copy of
their remonstrance, on the fubje& of the
privateer M'Clary, to the Senators from this
fotyto be laid before the Senate of the U
mted States ; and one other to the members
of the House of Representatives, to be laid

the situation of the rcmonftrance sent to the

Representatives, it will appear that the re
'monftrance sent to that House was referred
^to a committee, who made report, which was
-tead, and ordered to lie on the table.

The encouragement of Literature being
considered, by the constitution, as one of the
important duties of legillitors, and essential
to the preservation of a free government, will
always require the care and attention of the
Legislature.
The prosperity of our common country,
and the tranquility arid happiness so appa
rent in this state, must afford great pleasure
to the contemplative mind, and should excite
our gratitude to the fuprtme governor of the
uniyerfe. And it will afford me great fatis
faaion to join with both branches of the Le
gislature, in all such measures, as may tend
to promote the interest, honor, and happiness
of the good people of the state. ',f

.3 THE ANSWER. W!
ACommittee of both Houses waited on the
Governor with the following answer to his
Excellency's SPEECH. ' < ;
YOUR reelection to the dignified Ration of
Chief Magistrate of this State, by the free
fuffrages of your fellow citizens, affordstis
the most pleafiog fatisfadiori. The very
great unanimity which has distinguished ihis
event, while it presents to your Excellency
an unequivocal proof of the refpe& arid es
teem with which your public administration
in office, and your private virtues, have im
pressed the great body of the people, must, at
the fame time be a strong incentive to perse
verance, in those exertions, which have call
ed forth so marked an approbation of your
conduct. With the fulleft confidence, we
rely op, continuance of those exertions, and
we anticipate the happiest consequences to
our fellow citizens at large.
Your attention, agreeably to the request of
the Legislature, in transmitting their remon
strance to Congress, merits, and hasour full
approbation and thanks.
Any communications, which your Excel
lency flhall be pleased to make us,THall~be
duly adverted to, and should an, ads of Con
gress, among them appear to require, they
will meet the earliest deliberation of the Leg
islature.
The welfare, and happiness of our coun
try, will concentre all our views, and we Ihall
most heartily co-operate with your Excellen
cy in all such measures, as shall appear to be
calculated to augment, and establish our na
tional prosperity.
The encouragement of literattire, is a sa
cred and incumbent duty upon the Legisla
ture. Possessing a Constitution, which is
founded on the broad basis of the natural
rights of mankind free feel on our part, the
strongest obligation to revere, to cherish, and
support it. Without a competent there of
information diffufed, generally, through the
community; the natural, as welfas acquired
rights, and the duties to which the social
compact necessarily fubje&s us, must be im
perfectly understood, and.confequently will
be liable to be perverted, and neglected.—
We shall, therefore, most cordially embrace
.all proper measures to diffufe knowledge, and
information, to promote literature, and to
cherish seminaries of learning, as the most
direa and certain' means to perpetuate to
posterity that Constitution, which forms our
glory, our fafety, and our happiness.
With hearts replete with gratitude, towards
the Supreme Disposer of human events, we
view the present tranquil, and h^ppy state of
our country ; and ourmoft ardent prayer is,
that—long may it so continue.
