I beg leave to suggest for your con

practice those alterations in our State
Constitution which have been made by
the late Convention and adopted by
the people.
Although the general revision of the
Laws of the State and the several reg

rendered the situation of our public
affairs more eligible than they have
been in years past, yet I conceive that
in your deliberations you will find
many regulations in the internal Pol

May it Neap ,our Excellency.
THE Legislature of the State of
New-Hampshire gratefully re
ceive from your Excellency, informa
tion of the public business that now
more immediately calls for their at
tention.;
We are deeply impressed with a
sense of the great necessity of a proper
arrangement of the militia, and mak
ing the laws of the State conformable
to the laws of the General Govern
ment ; and ,hile we allure your Ex
cellency that no application on our
part shall be wanting to accomplish
this important object, we cannot but
expreb a with that the neceftary re
turns may be coropleated as soon as
may be.
We esteem it highly essential that
the neceffar, arrangements for giving
the Constitution of the State, as al
tered and amended by the late Con
vention, its full force and effect,Should
he made this session, and to this we
Shall cheerfully give every attention:
and though we view with the highest
fatishdion the happy and prosperous
situation of our public affairs, we are
yet deeply impressed with the necessi
ty of farther regulations of our inter
nal police, both to continue and ensure
that felicity, which, by the gracious
failles of heaven, we now enjoy.
' The opening and repairing conve
nient roads,erecting bridges and form
ing, canals for the easy, fafe and expe
ditions transportation of articles of
trade and commerce, would, while it
tended to the encouragement of in
dustry of every kind, at the fame time
greatly promote the intcrelt & wealth
of the citizens ; and to those interest
ing purposes we (hall ever be ready to
afford every exertion in our power.
We are full, sensible that ignorance
is the parent of Slavery, and that civil
liberty can scarcely hold up her head
when this enemy to human happiness
is not removed out of its fight.
To promote knowledge and infor
mation among the citizens of the
State,_to encourage morality and pat
riotism, to inspire the rising genera
ration with an attachment 10, and
knowledge of, every political and social
virtue,and with that knowledge nccef
fary to ensure them, cannot fait to an
imate us to every exertion on our part
to promote arfd facilitate those impor
tant objects, wh^e the trust repoted in
us Would tender neglect inexcusable.
The general and ordinary business
of the State cannot fail of our care;
qnd while we co-operate with your
Excellency's generous and patriotick
labors for the public good in general,
we thall endeavour to use all the dis.
pteh that the importance of the ob
jeft will permit, and Shall deem it
one of the happiest circumstances of
our lives, to promote and increase the
feearity, profperiry and happiness of
the State.
when the general and ordinary busi
ness of the State is usually taken up
and acted upon b, the Legislature, 1
fhali cheerfully attend to any other
matters that you raav thick proper to
be done at this time ; and ffiail use
my best ep^eavotirs to forward the
public bufioefa with as much dispatch
as is confident with that care and cau
tion which ought to be used in tranf
ading business of much importance.
