Gentlemen of the Senate, and of

SINCE ; our last fc flion, I have re
ceived several official letters from th>
Secretary at war relative to tbe treat
ment of certain vessels should they come
iqto rb^harbour in this State, which let*
rers, lowlay before you to afford you
such laformationas is in my power,rela
tive to the measures trken by the Ex
ecdßvk of the United States, to observe
a Arid neutrality (as far as is conflftent
with treaties) between tbe European
powers now at War, so as to avoid giv
ing any just cause for any of them todiL
tufb the peace and tranquility of thefei
States. However diftind the Federal
and State Jurisdictions may appear to
be, it is, in my opinion bf great conse
quence to rhe liability and happinels of
a government constituted like ouis, that
the pcple in general and the State Le
j giflatdres in particular, ffiould have so
much infomation of the measures perfued
by the General Government in all those
important afairs in which the United
States are deeply interested as to enable
< them to place a proper confidence in
their rectitude and propriety, and guard
them gaainft the dangerous effefts of for
eign poliites and influence which have
r of late been industriously circulated
through the States.

they arfc in and where they are deposi
ted : 1 would now request your attention
to that matter aridfoch further directions
about them as you shall think proper.
I wonld beg leave to reccommend it to
your cofideration whither it will not be
advisable at this Seflidn, to make feme
further provifioh and point out a proper
mode for calling in arid di (charging <3
faft as conveniently may be, the public
debts of the State ; the intereftof which
is yearly accumulating ; and as we have
received official infotnmtioh that the
Commiffionkrs for feeling the accunts
betweeh the United ahd Individual
States, have reported to Congress a bal
ance in favour of'this Stat^; of seventy
five thoufaad and fifty five dollars ; it is
to be hoped that money will afford us
some affifiance in difebarging the State
debts.
rhe pre (ent law for the appointment
of fpeciai Judges for the several Courts
n this State, is attended with much id
cobveniency and h thought by many
people not to be well calculated for the
purpose. Permit me to recommend that
matter to your confidcration, ' ;v \
> As We have too often accounts of mel
ancholy accidents taking place pn days of
public muller of the Militia, frequently
owing to the cardefinefs of fame, the
intoxication of others, and the unhappy
custom of loose and desultory Brings at
fucb times; pennit me to recommend it
:o yourcon fide ration whither an addi
tional law for regulating the militia on
muller days, might not be made, that
would tend to prevent those unhappy
accidents.
