Lexington, December 16.
Copy of a letter from his excellency the Governor, to the legislature of the State of Kentucky.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives.
As I shall not in the common course of business, have another opportunity of addressing you during my continuance in office, I cannot take my final leave of you without expressing the grateful sense which I shall always retain of the favorable manner in which my administration has been judged of by my country-men.
When I was called into office by the unexpected voice of my country, I felt a consciousness that my former walk through life, had prevented me from obtaining that kind of knowledge which is indispensably necessary to a proper discharge of the duties of a Chief Magistrate of an independent state, but as I knew my interests were inseparable from those of my country, and as I felt the most ardent zeal for her prosperity, I determined to obey the call; trusting that my fellow citizens upon being convinced that my intentions were good, would make the proper allowances where I failed of success; the event has fully answered my expectations, and my experience has taught me to believe that a free and enlightened people will always give their approbation to the conduct of those public officers, who have in view no other object than the public good. A lesson which ought to have the most beneficial influence on the conduct of all public servants.
It is with the most heartfelt satisfaction that I contemplate the change that has taken place in the state of population and improvements within this state during the three last years, a change so great that it may with truth be asserted that a similar one has never before been experienced in any of the infant settlements of America. It is with pleasure that I acknowledge that this change is in a great degree to be attributed to the effectual protection which the executive of the general government, and the legislature of this state, have enabled me to afford to our frontier settlements. This just and enlightened policy has had and still must ever have the strongest tendency to encrease the wealth, population, and prosperity of this state.
Possessing, as we do, the finest country in the world, and enjoying all the blessings of equal liberty, it becomes our duty to improve the first to the utmost, and guard the last from violation. Altho' the hand of arbitrary power at present prevents us from enjoying to the extent; we have an undoubted right to enjoy all the benefits which a benificent providence intended should belong to the proprietors of this country; we ought by every exertion in our power, to endeavor to hasten that state of population and resources, in which this country must be heard and attended to when the demands her just rights. But above all, we ought to hold it in constant remembrance, that we should be continually on the watch to guard against every encroachment on our liberty, from whatever quarter it may be attempted.
Accept gentleman, my cordial thanks for the very polite and friendly manner in which you have expressed your approbation of my exertions to serve our common country: and be assured that it is the first wish of my heart that she may soon attain that degree of wealth, importance and happiness to which she is justly entitled.
I have the honor to be With great respect, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, ISAAC SHELBY.
Frankfort, Dec. 16, 1795.
To which letter the House of Representatives returned the following answer:
To the Governor of Kentucky.
SIR,
When in obedience to the call of your country-men, you relinquished the comforts of domestic retirement to accept the appointment of Chief Magistrate, your fellow-citizens, assured that you were actuated by the sincerest wish to promote their interests, with confidence anticipated the event of your administration.
They were convinced that the same motive which induced you to accept, would stimulate you to a faithful patriotic discharge of the duties of your office.
They have not been disappointed. In unison with their voice their representatives beg leave to assure you that they entertain a very high sense of your exertions in the common cause; and that health and happiness may attend you in their sincerest wish.
