Gentlemen of the Senate, and ,
Gentlevien of the House es Representatives,
VV{!:&IL_E X rejoice with you, and my

orable to the Commonwealth, at whose ex-.
pence it was erefled, thao ornamental to
the capital which gencroufly ‘providcd the.

isfallion at the ingenious manner 1n which
the plan has been execated. Begun and
finithed in little more than two years, it ex
hibits a pleasing ogrqof of the architeftural
flcill and fidelity of your agents, who planned
and {aperintended the work, while it de
montirates theability of the artificers who
performed it, : s
Combining the advautages of {uitable re
tirement, a healthy situation, and delightful
profpe&l, with Tuch clegant and very conve
pient apartments, for the security of the
Reco’r(ﬂ, and for tranfatting the public bu
fincls, there is perbaps no public building
to be found within the United States, -more
uleful’ or magpificent. lam confidentthat
'you, Gentlemen of both Houses of the Le
gullatiire, will cordially join me ip the fes
vent wilh that this State-House may long
remain 2 mopument of the public spirit of
the Citizens of Maflachufetts, as well as a
teflimony of their refpe& to our happy po
litical inflitutions. We will then, nnder
the {miles of Heaven, unite in dedicating it
to the Homor, Freedom, ind:pcndénce and
Security of %6ur Country. * In this House;
may’the true principles of the best {yftem
of civil government the world has ever seen,
be uniformly supported. Here, may every
praflice and principle be, fuccefsfully op
posed; that tend to impair it. Here; may
every al of the Legislature, be the result
of cool deliberation and found judgmeot.
And in this House, on all necessary ‘occa
fions, may the Supreine Executive, agreca
bly to the laws of the land, in mercy, cause
judgment to be executed. And each branch
of our eleftive government, continuing
faithful in the di{%harge of its trust, God
grant that neither external foree orinfluence
mor. internal commotion or violence, mmay
ever shake the pillars.of our free Republic.
Although we notice, with the highest plea
sure, the evidence of great prbfperiti, and
happiness within this Commonwealth, ari
sing, as well from the love of order and dug”
submission to the laws, as from the enter
prize, virtue, and indßftry of the citizens—
yet it is to be regreited, that external ap--
pearances gre not equally favorable. Ow
ing to the‘war in Europe, the interefls of
our commerce have greatly fuffered ; and
on that account, as well as from the hu
maoity natural ro Americans, our wishes
for the re-eflablifbment of Peace, have been
sincere and ardent. This it seems has ta
ken Elacc between the French Republic &
the German Empire ; and- preparations it
as said, are making for the continuance of
she war between that Republic and Great
Botain. To me, therefore, there a(ﬁpean
butlittle probability, that the depredations
on the commerce of the United States will
be {peedily discontinued. An event so de=
Brable, in a great meafore depends onm the.
success of the Commissioners of the United
States, now at Paris, who are making ena
effort in their power to adjufl, by amicable
negociation; out caules of difference with

which already exist ; {o thatthe citizen may

I have the highest fatisfaltion, gentlemen,
in being able to inform you, that by fate
ments exhibited te me by the late Treasurer
Mr. Davis,~and, by his fucceflfor, Mr.
-Corrin, our public Trealury appears to
be in an eligible situation. The debts due
to the Commonwealth, exclusive of those
considered as doubtful, are quite - fufficient
to dilcharge all jult claims and demands on
Government, of every description ; and a
considerable surplus will then remain for
public exigencies. 'This shews the effeét of
the plan adopted for the redoélion of our.
debt, and cannot fail of cncourag'ag you té
persevere in a system so obviously Weneficial,
because it will enable the public todifchargé
its debt, without the neceflity of any addi
tion to the usual taxes, which are requisite
for the fopport of -Government, %’bofc
flatements, 1 have direfted to be laid before
you, with the explanatory, ufeful obferya:
tions thereon, by the Treafarer. .
My official duty obliges me to mention,
that owing to the incompetency of the pre.
sent legal compenf(ations for {ervicés ‘requi
red, several vacancies bave happened in
some of the important offices of the Gov
ernment, particularly in that of the ‘Judge
of Probate, in the county of -Hancock.—
The refpeflable gentleman who lately filled
that important office, has stated to me that
the allowance established by law is quite in
fufficient to bear the expence of “attending
the Probate Courts in that county, without
taking into consideration any allowance for
his time and services. Under such circum
stances, 1t is not probable the vacancy can.
be suitably filled. You will therefore judge
whether tﬁc circymflances of that county
do call for your particular attention. Eve
ry servant of the public is justly entitled to
a reward, -adequate to the merit of his ser
vices ; and in making legal eflablithments
for this purpolfe, suitable regard should be
had to the enhanced prices of the neceflaries
of life, Whilst lam on this fubjet, I beg
leave to submit to your candid consideration
whether it would not better:comport both
~with the letter and spirit of the conflitution,
to annex permanent and honorable eflab
lilbments 1o some of the important offices
therein mentioned, rather than occasionally
to afford relief by temporary, additional
grants. In your wisdom and reflitude the
pcoPlc bave placed a confidence, and I am
persuaded they will not be disappointed.
Agreeably to an a&t of Congrels, for the
more general promulgation of the laws, pas
sed on the third day of March; 1795 ; I
_have lately received from the Secretary of
State, five hundred and eighty-eight sets of
the laws of the United States, confiting of
-3 volumes each, being this Commonwealth’s.
proportion of said laws, to be deposited in
such fixed and convenient glafc in ecach
county, or civil subordinate division, as the
Executive or Legislature thall deem most
conducive to the general information of the.
People. It will, I conceive, be neceflary
for the Legislature to make provision for.
the immediate distribution of these laws, a
mong the several towns or counties witliin
the commonwealth, in such manner and un
der such reflriftions as may be thought best
adapted to carry into effeét the important
and ufeful design of the said aft.

consideration, I shall communicate by pri

rising of an eternal day. Her journey in

Loyd, rather fit me for tR eternal world,
And waft my [pirit hence, to [cenes divine,
In those blefk realms, no death again divides,
The joyous charities of foul _/flt love;
Adieu my friend, my wife, my better felf 5

These t;pes shall sweetly soothe my painful

The tedious day of half its woes beguile 3
Cast on the evening’s shade a look benzgn,
And lend to night, religion’s sacred smile.

Pale eve ﬁall bring thee nearer tomy kearty
And midnight dwell on 01l thy tender woes.

At m’mcmaudﬁalllog/f the silver cordy
Set free the living bird, and both alive, . '
