Gentlemen of the House of Refffota^
lives.
I SAW with peculiar pleafare, at
the close of the lift session, the refo
lotion entered into by you, expreflire
of your opinion, that an adequate pro
vision for the fapport of the pablick
credit, is a matter of high importance
to thejnational honorrand profpericy.
In this sentiment I entirely concur.—•
And to a perfed confidence in your
belt endeavors to devise faeh % pro
vision, as will be truly confident with
the end, I add an equal reliance on the
chearful co-operation of the other
branch of the Legislature.—h would
be faperftuous to fpecify inducements
to a nieafure in which the character ±
permanent interests of the U. §t,tes
are so obviously &so deeply concern,
ed; & which has received so explicit a
fanllion from your declaration.
Genttoraofthe Senate, and
: Hofof leferefentativu
iHAVE directed the proper of.
ficers to lay before you refpedively
fab papers and estimates as regard to
affairs particularly recommended to
your consideration, and necessary to
Convey to you that information of
the date of the union, which it is my
duty to afford.
' The welfare of our country is the
great objed to which our cares and
efforts ought to be directed.—And I
shall derive great fatisfadiori from a
co-operation with you, in the pleasing
though,arduous talk ofenfuiog to our
fellow citizens the blessings which
they have a right to expea,' from a
free, efficient and equal government.

TF it is true, that " Cronon's got by
~3L bl^» must be 6, blood maintained,"
it is equally true that government,
founded in the wisdom or the peoples
'"muft be by wisdom supported.——
Herice refalts the heceffity of (up
porting every channel through which
information is conveyed to the peo,
file.— —— The important traufaaions
Which have lately taken place in Eu
rope, may teach a hfeful and impor
mat teflon' to Americans. People
who have never heard the found of
liberty with emotion, because igno
rant of its true principles, and un
confeious of its real blessings, when
Once they get the reins of power into
their hands, are apt to ra(h into the
commission of the most flagrant enor
mities, and commit devaluation on the
olives and properties of their onde
lords and matters, under the idea that
libertiy gives a fanaibn to their pro
ceedings; when in faa it is but li.
centioufnefs. Kings may learn also,
by the present striking instance which
Europe prefen ta, the necessity of cul
tivating knowledge, and foreading
* information among tfefr fulijefy, far
experience has fatally shewn, that no
government can be lastingly estab
lished, which is not calculated to fe,
cure the confidence of the fubjefts, &
their love and esteem of their rulers.
In fail no nation, empire or state; tan
be happy tinder the bond of igno
irsince. 'Tis knowledge, 'tis infor
mation on the forffubjeas of law
endgovernment, that make a pqo
ple happy —The prefect state of our
Country loudly certifies to the truth of
this, and may the condull of its citi
zens continue to evidence it, anal
.foe(hall be no mote.^

Stockbridge, dec.
A woman who redded in one of the
towns on the Cape, (in this common,
wealth) being rather of a forgetful
turn of mind, arose on a Sunday'
morning and began washing,in which
employment ihe continued till the
forenoon service was ended; when an
acquaintance who lived at a great
distance from the meeting-house Call
ed in to spend the interim between
meetings. At this interview both
women seemed astonished, the woman
of the house to fee her visitor so migh
tily dressed at that early hour of the
day, and the other to behold the for
mer Waning upon the Sabbath •
" Where,ave you been, that you are
so dressed; (said the woman to her
visitor;"—" Been (fays the other)
why I have been ip greeting; where
else do you think t have been op the
Lord's, day ?"—'' What is it Sunday
(exclaimed the other) well upon my
word, 1 had entirely forgot it, and
had concluded within mylelf that it
was the second day of the week ; as
you ha^e been to meeting, hoover, 4
you can inform me whatthe minister;
has been preaching aboard perhaps
that will be of some service to me."
" Why (replied the other) we have
had an excellent difeourfe, I'll assure
you, and every body ought to have
heard it; the minirter really seemed
as if he felt what he preached : his
difeourfe was concerning the many
and cruel Bufferings and the death of
Ch RIST.." '' La ! is he dead (ex
claimed the other) well, I never heard
Os it ; 'tis really furprizing !—come
to confider,however, I don't so much
wonder neither that I never heard of
it, for my hufbaad has left of taking
the NEWS PAPERS, and since that
time half Boston might burn down,
and I never hear a tingle word about

any objections that may be suggested
againtt it—nd comment therefore is
neceffarv.;
It is said, that M, Necker, in a

words t" The freedom of the Prefa
hasjuftly been considered as the great
est bluffing to men of free and inde
pendent principles, 'tis the bulwark
of liberty and peace—the universal
parent of liberal fcieace, and the firm
friend of the fine arts—For instance,
behold the enlightened Americans; af

they would yet have remained in sla

honour be it fpeken, they are the most
enlightened, and can produce men of

Heaven '—Having an exterifive cir-.
culation of news-papers, from one

divine blessings of liberty and peace
infilled into them,&~while the liber
ty of he Press remains inviolable in
the Weftern world, the united efforts
of all Europe chn never erate from
their mind a. lenfe of the great prize
which they poffdfs— -which will stand,
to the latest ages of pottery, deeply
engraven on the heart of every free
