HEAD-QUARTERS, Newburgh, June 12, 1783#
• SIR,
THE great object for which T had the hrnor
to hold an app intment in he service of my
country being acc mplilhed, I am no» preparing
to resign it into the hands of Cor.g,ef s , and to re
turn to that domestic retirement, which it is well
known, I left with the greatest reludance—a re
tOTment for which I hive never ceaied to sigh,
through alrng and prirful abferce, and in which
(remote from the node and trouble of the wo 1 A )
I meditate to pals the remainder of life in a state
of undisturbed repose: but before I carry ibis e
filution into effem, I thisk it a duty incum m
or me, to make this my lad official communicati
on— to c ngratulate you on the glorious everts
which Heaven has been pie fid to p educe in our
favour: to offer my sentiments refpetting some
important fubji&, which appear to me to be in
"^"e'y,con"ttkd w th the tranquility of the
United t? cs; to take my leave of your Excel
lency as a pub c eharader; and to g vc my final
blessing to that Country in whose fervic I have ip nt
the prime cf my ltfe; for wnofe lake f h ve crn
fumec so many anxious days and watchful nights ;
and whose happiness being ext emely dear to roe,
will always constitute no incchfiuctable part cf
my o^n.
Irp-effed with the live] est fenffbiTty or this
pleafrg occasion, 1,,i1l claim the 'indulgence of
dilating the mere copiously on the fubjed of our
mwu ? i fekeitation. When ^ e corfi - r the mag
nitude cf the prize we contended for, the doubt
ful nature of the contest, and the favourable man
ner in which it has terminated, we shall find the
greatell poflible realon for g atitude and rejoicing:
this is the theme that will afford infinite delight
to every benevolent and liberal mind, whether
the eve r t in contemplation be considered as tie
source cf prefen enjoyment, or the parent cf fa.
tore happineft- and we (hall rave equal occasion
to felicitate ouifelves on the lot whnh P, vicence
has affigreo us, whether we view it in a natural
a political, or moral point of light.
The citizens of America, placed in the most
envia le conditio , as the sole lords and proprie
tors of a yft tra& of co tie ent, comprehending
ail the various foils a-d climates of the world, and
abounding with all t^e receffar es and conveni
ences of life, are now, by the late fa'irfa&ory
pacification, &ckrcwled e<" to be poffefled of ab
fclute freedom and indeperdercy: they are from
th $ period to be co fidered as the actors on a most
gunfpicuous theatre, wi ich seems to be peculiarly
designated by Previdence for the < ifplay of hu
man greatness and felicity. Hee they are not
oily surrounded with every thing which can ton
trit ute tn the complet on of private end domestic
enjoyment, but Heaver has c owned all its other
blessings by k ivin„ a fairer opportunity for poli
tical happiness, ban any other nation ever been
favoured with Nothing can iiluftrate these obser
vations more forcibly than a recol!eaiou of the
happy conjecture of rimes ard c rcumftances under
which our republic assumed its rank among the
nations. The foundation of cur empire was not
laid in tie gh omy age of ignorance and fupe fti
tion, but at an epecha wfe= the rights cf mankind
were better unde flood and more clearly designed
than at any firmer period ; the referches of the
human mind after folial happireft have been car
red to a great extent; the tr fores of knowledge
acquired by the labours o f philofephers fagea,
and legislatures, through a long frrefficn of
years, are laid open for our use and theL c Ilec
ed wisdom may be happily applied in the efta
bli^ment of our forms of government; the fee
cultivation of letters, 'he unbounded extention of
commerce, the progreffi e refinement of ma r ers,
the growing 1 berality cf sentiment, and above ail,
the pure and benign light of Revelation, have had
No. 2164.
