upon all the good citizens of this Common
wealth, to strengthen the hands of Con
gress, particularly by making every exer
-11011 for a speedy payment of our propor
tion of the national expence; a measure
now become absolutely necessary to the
support of public credit, to the most essen
tial purpoles of our sacred league, ana to
appealing the loud complaints of those,
whole jult demands upon the public have
ai r eadv remained too long unfatisfied.
When measures of such extreme impor
tance to the public are not seasonably ac
complished, through unreasonable jealou
sies, or a diversity of sentiments refpe&-
ing the mode,lit is easy toloiefee thedread
ful conlequences.
I he internal inteieft of this Common
wealth at the fame time demands our par
ticular attention. Much is necessary to
be done, that many worthy citizens may
have a Satisfying propped of realising that
large portion of their property which they
have entrusted to the hands of govern
ment. They ju^ly expert to fee that e
very exertion is making, at least, for its
firm Security, and for the punctual pay
ment of the interest of every public ob
ligation. When once an adequate pro
vision is made to fatisfy lo moderate and
reasonable an expectation, public credit
will revive, the honour of the Common
wealth will be supported, its real interest
will be gready advanced, and government
will polfefs, as it ought ever to do, the
firm confidence of the community.
I have directed the Secretary to lay be
fore you Several letters I haye received
during the recess, which I recommend to
your consideration.
The restoration of peace will, it is high
ly probable, open a very extensive trade,
and an intercourse with all the world,
which may make some further regulations
necessary, with refped to veflfels visited
with contagious distempers. 1 submit to
your ccnfideration thelpropriety of revising
thofedaws; and if, on examination, they
Should be found deficient, I doubt not
but you will immediately take effectual
measures to remedy such defect.
The preservation of trees Suitable for
mats, in the eastern parts of this Com
monwealth, is an object of great moment,
and demands the attention of the Legisla
ture.
I have called upon the Treasurer for
the state of the treasury ; in consequence
of which, he has made me a representati
on, which you will receive with the other
papers.
The Secretary will also lay before you a
letter from Colonel Alien, relative to the
encroachments there is reason to think the
British are making on the territories at
the eastern boundary of this State. This
is a matter that ought to be attended to
immediately, to prevent dilutes hereaf
ter: I Submit it, therefore, together with
other matters mentioned in his letter, ro
your confederation.
I Shall lay before you, in separate mes
sages, what further may occur to me wor
thy of your notice, and Shall be ready to
concur with you in every mealure tending
to promote the public weal.
