Poetical ADDRESS,
%the PußLlc of the UNITEDS tates.
THIS age is so fertile of mighty e
verts
That people complain, with fame rea
son, no doubt,
Besides the time loft, and besides the
sir;
THE Senate of the United States
have received with much fatisfac
tion the assurances of public prosperity
contained in ybur fpecch to both Houses:
The multiplied blessings of Providence
have not escaped our notice, or failed to
excite our gratitude.
The benefits which flow from the re
storation of publick and private confi
dence, are conspicuous and important ;
and the pleasure with which we contem
plate them is heigthened by your assur
ance of those farther communications,
which (hall confirm their existence and
indicate their source.
While we rejoice in the fuceefs of
hose military operations which have
° care, , &
The prefat consumes all the time
they can spare.
Thus reasons the reader, but fill he
reads on, , -
With his pence and his paper unwil
lingto part,...
He fees the world passing, men going
and gone
Some riding in coaches, and feme in
a cart.
For a peep at the farmer fubfeription
he'll give ;
Revolutions must happen—that
Printers may live.
For a ffiare of your favour, we aim with
the rest—
To enliven the scene we'll exert all
bur Iki11;
What we have to impart shall be some
of the best,
And Mahum in Parvo our text=if you
will ;
Since we never admitted a elaufe
in our creed
That the greatest employment of
life is—to read.
The King of the French, and the Qpeeri
of the North
At the head of the play for the feafort
we find ;
From the spark that we kindled a flame
has gone forth,
To expand thro' the world and enligh
ten mankind ;
With a code of new doctrines the
universe rings,
And Thomas is preaching strange
sermons to Kings.
Thus lanch'd as we arc on the ocean of
news,
in hopes that your pleafyre our pains
will repay,
All honeff endeavours the author will use,
To furnifh a feaft for the grave and
the gay ; - '
Avleaß he'll essay such a track to
purfae
That the world shall approve—-and
his new, shall be true.

expense,
With reading the papers they're fairly
worn out ;
The /^ is no longer an object of
been direaed against the hcftile Indians,
we lament with you the necessity that
has produced them ; and we participate
the hope that the present profped of a
general peace, on terms of moderation
andjuftice, may be brought into com
pleat and permanent effed ; and that
the measures of government, for the se
curity of our frontiers, may equally em
brace the general interests ofhumanity.
Our solicitude to obtain, will ensure
our zealous attention to an object so
warmly espoused by the dilates cf be
nevolence, and so highly interesting to
the honor and welfare of the nation.
The several fubje^s which you have
particularly recommended, and thole
which remain of former feffions,will en
gage oar early consideration. We arc
encouraged to profeCute them with ala
crity and steadiness by the belief, that
they will interest no passion, but that for
the general welfare, by the assurance of
concert and by a view of those ardous
and important arrangements which have
been already accomplished.
We observe, Sir, the constancy and
activity of your zeal for the public good.
The example will animate our efforts
to promote the happiness cf our country.
Signed by order and in behalf of the
Senate,
JOHN ADAMS, Fice Prudent of the
U. Stales, and Prefdent of the Senate.
ing peculiarly interesting, your com
.munications on that fubjed are propor
tionably grateful to us.
The gallantry and good condud of
the militia, whose services were called
for, is an honourable confirmation of the
efficacy of that precious resource of a
free state : and we anxiously wish, that
the confequenees of their fuccefsful en
terprizes, and of the other proceedings
to which you have referred, may leave
vthe United States free to perfue the mod
benevolent policy towards the unhappy
and deluded race of people in our
neigbourhodd.
The amount of the population of the
United States, determined by the re
turns of the census, is a source Os the
most pleasing reflexions, whether it be
viewed in relation to dor ntional fafe
ty and refpeflability, or as a proof of
that felicity in the situation of our
country, which favors so unexampled
a rapidity in its growth ; nor ought
any to be insensible to the additional
motives foggefted by this important
fad, to perpetuate the free government,
established with a wife administration of
it, to a proportion of the earth which
ent important measures of the govern
ment have proceeded ; as well those spe
cially provided for at the last session.

of our fellow-citizens are involved be-
The Reply of the PRESIDENT of the
UNITED STATES is as follows ;
THIS manifeftation of your zeal for
the honor and the happiness of our coun

share which your deliberations have al
ready had in promoting both,
I thank you for the favourable senti
ments with which you view the part I
have borne in the arduous trust commit

States ; and desire you to be assured that
all my zeal will continue to second those
further efforts for the public good,which
are ensured by the spirit in which you
are entering on the present session.
IN receiving ybur address at the open
ing of the present session,, the House
of Representatives have taken an ample
share in the feelings inspired by the ac
tual profperjty and flattering profpeds
of our country : and whilft,with becom

this happiness to the true source from
which it flows we behold with animat

couftitauori and laws of the United
States have been instrumental in dispen
