with all thele bieflings what more is necefiry to |
make 4s a happy and a profparous people ? Stilll
one thing more, fellow citizens, a wife and pru- I
dent government, which (hall refrain men trom
injuring one another, (ball leave them otherwise
tree to regulate their own pursuits of industry &
improvement, and thall not take from the mouth
Os labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum
of good government ,• and this is necessary to close
the circle of our felicities.
About to enter, fellow-citizens, on the exercise
Os duties which comprehend every thing dear and
valuable to you, it is proper you should un
derstand what 1 deem the essential principles of
our government, and consequently those which
Ought to (hape its administration.—! will com
press them within the narrowest compass they will
bear, dating the general principle, but not all its
limitations.—Equal and exalt juriice to all men,
of whatever date or persuasion, religious or poli
ticai :—peace, commerce and honed friendship
With all nations,entangling alliances with none : -
the support of the date governments in all their
rights, as the molt comjretent administrations for
Onr domeltic concerns, and the fureri bulwarks 'a
gaiult anti-republican tendencies :—the preferva
tiun of the general government in its whole consti
tutional vigor, as the Sheet anchor of bur peace at
home, and fafety abroad ;—a jealous care of the
right of election by the people, a mild and fafe
corrective of abuses which are lopped by thefword
, of revolution where peaceable remedies ate un
provided :—abfolute acquiescence in the d^cifions
of the majority, the vital principal of republics,
from which is no appeal but to force, the vital
principle and immediate parent of despotism :—a
well disciplined militia, our belt reliance in peace,
and for the tird moments of war, until regulars
may relieve them :—the supremacy of the civil o
ver the military authority :—economy in the pub
lic expense, that labor may be lightly burdened:
—the honest payment of onr d< bts and sacred pre
servation of the public faith:—encouragement of
agriculture & of commerce as its handmaid :—the
diffusion of information,& arraignment of all abus
es at the bar of the public reason :—-freedom of reli
gion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person,
under the protection of the Habeas Corpus :—and
trial by juries-impartially telexed. These prin
ciples from the bright conflellation, Which has
gone before us, and guided our steps through an
age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom
Os our sages, and blood of onr heroes, have been
devoted to their attainment :—they should be the
creed of our political faith :—the text of civic in
ftruftion, the touchstone by which to try the Ser
vices ot those we trull ; and should we wander
from them in moments of errors or of alarm let ns
haflen to retrace our steps, and to regain the road
which alone leads to peace, liberty and fafety.
1 repair then, fellow-citizens, to the post you
have assigned me. With experience enough in Sub
ordinate offices to have Seen the difficulties of this
the greatest ot all, I have learnt to expert that it
will rarely fall to the lot of imperfect man to re
tire from this Station with the reputation and the
favor, which bring him into it. Without preten
sions to that high confidence you reposed in our
firft and greatest revolutionary character, whose
pre eminent services had entitled him to the firft
place in his country's love, and destined for hint
the fairelt page in the volume of faithful hiftory,
I alk so much confidence only as give firmnefs and
effeft to the legal administration of your affairs.
I Shall often go wrong through defect of judg
ment.- When right, I Shall often be tho't wrong
by those whose positions will not command a vjew
of the whole ground. I ask your indulgence for
my own errors, which will never be intentional ;
and your support against the errors of others,
who may condemn what they would not if Seen
in all its parts. The approbation implied by
your Suffrage, is a great consolation to nte for the
past ; and my future solicitude will be, to retain
the good opinion of those who have bellowed it
in advance, to conciliate that of others by doing
them all the good in my power, and to be instru
mental to the happiness and freedom of all.
Relying then on the patronage of your good
will, I advance with obedience to the work, rea
dy to retire from it whenever you become sensi
ble how much better choices it is in your power*
to make. And may that infinite Power, which
rules the destinies of the uniyerfe, lead our coun
cils to what is best, and give them a favorable is
sue for your peace, and prosperity.
Thomas Jefferfon.

A FULL LENGTH PORTRAIT

ARE informed that it has been in the en

proof sheets may shortly be seen. The pub
lisher intreats the public not to patronite
any other undertaking of the fame nature
until they have had an opportunity of judg
ing of the merit of his : he hopes he will
be indulged in this request, by every candid
republican, when they learn that he was the
firft who made propnfals for the work, and
was only prevented from having the print
publilhed already by the chicane and villainy
of a few persons ; it is not necessary to
name them, as their feelings, if they are
not too much inured to mal-praaices will
inform them who i mean. 1 ;
Those who have not yet honored the pub
lisher with their patronage, are refpeafidly
informed that if they should cbndefcend to
favor him with theft names, and not approve
of the work when ready for delivery, may
return it ; every fubferiber will receive, as
a compliment, for politely flepping forward
and fubferibing his name, a small pamph
let, executed in a foperior flvle, and elegant
ly hot-pressed: containing the mod remark
able events of Mr. Jefferfon's life, careful
; ly colleaed by an experienced biographer.
