LEGISLATURE has
COI
MESSAGE from tbc GOVERNOR. to
i~ Pe
Gentlemen of the Legi/laturr,
TO perform the duties required from t ] l(
me by the Constitution, lam neceffitat- tw
ed to communicate with you by message
■ being prevented by sickness from meet- ca
ing \he leflio-n in person. tr<
Iri informing you of the condition of co
the (iate, I am happy to observe, that re ]
the fame causes continue which have hi- m .
I therto contributed to its prosperity. In t j,
a ready obedience to the laws—in the t j,
prevalence of public tranquility—in the t j,
advancement of our population and set
tlements, and in the growing interests
' of general improvement, we find abun
dant and multiplied sources of private
' happiness and national felicity. Under
these favourable circumltances, the ob
» jeda of poii-.ted legislative attention, are
* n'ecelTarily reftrifted ; and I have, there
' fore, little more to observe, than to ex
s press my confidence, that in the promo- th
rion of the means which may advance,
' and the removal of the obstacles that
e may retard, the prosperity of the state, ty
' will be felt, the wisdom of your delibe- E
'' rations, and the efficacy*>f your mea- m
fines. ai
3 As thtr alarming afpe£l of public as- tl
II fairs induced the legislature, at their ol
lafl feffian, to make provifjon for the h;
" purchase of arms and ammunition, and tl
the fortification of our sea-port and
? frontiers, a full detail of the execution
of these different obje£ls will now be d
submitted to you. o:
1 Although the appropriations for for- a:
tiScations were in the firft instance in- si
y competent, and the advanced price of p
labor and provisions has since increased p
X the inadequacy, yet the works intended 0
for the prote&ion of our principal city v
' and harbor are in great forwardnefs— r
the patriotl: exertions'of the inhabit- /
S ants having supplied, in no mconfidera
c* ble degree, the deficiency of the grant.
1 I r.ould, however, on this occasion,
conceive myfelf deficient in duty, were
. f . 1 not to observe, that many of the rea
sons, which induced their commence
ment, still exist for their completion.
That the events of Europe may have '
influenced,, our political relation, can
not be doubted ; but the daring I
recently made upon our Western Ter
ritories, and whicii in its principle com- J
pr'/.cs a con fid pa_rt 0 1.,* he 1
_ 1 .-I ' r -as to 4»e on our guard, and
tb be prepared to meet fiich menaced
e " aggressions with a resistance proporti
rs» oned to their magnitude.
on The revision of our criminal code, ean
-1 a not re-occii"y your attention at too early a
ral period, or in too serious a manner. The
expectations of our constituents, the feel
ce ings of humanity and the welfare of the
community, are deeply interested in the
,r " prosecution of this design. It is indeed a
c " fuhjeitof melancholy corJiderationthat our
1 criminal law fhonld be so repugnant to the
a- mild genius of our constitution. andfofi
it mijar in its punishments to the cruelty of
despotic governments. The substitution
t of hard labor or confinement, instead of
3 the punifliment of death, will be greatly
a y facilitated by the fortifications eredting on
he (he iflands'i> the vicinity of New-York.
And while you Are engaged in this bufi- 1
ness, it may not at the fame time' be un
p worthy of your enquiry, whether our sys
tem. of jurifprndence is not in other ref
pcfls di fedtive, in its being so implicitly
borrowed from a nation, differing from
us in manners, government and princi
ples of policy. *
While it is evident that the genpral efta
blilhment and libera.l endowment of aca
}*>- demies, are highly to be commended, and
nt are attended with the moll beneficial con
fequcnces, yet it cannot be denied that they
are principally confined to the children
r of the opulent, and a great proportion of
* s ' the community is excluded from their im
mediate advantages. The eftablilhments
of common schools throughout the state,
ia, are happily calculated to remedy this in
es- ! convenience, and will therefore re-engage
! your early and decided consideration.
I have directed the usual returns and
statements to be laid before you to aflTift
you in your deliberations, together with
such other communications as maybene
cefL y for vour information.
