Lexington, November 14.
Legislature of Kentucky.
On Wednesday last, the 7th inst. the governor of this commonwealth met both branches of the legislature in the representative chamber, where he delivered the following
S P E E C H :
Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives;
THE period has returned at which it appears to be the duty of the governor to give to the general assembly information respecting the state of the commonwealth, and to recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge expedient. On former occasions this task has been the more pleasing to me, as the subjects of communication have always been grateful to my own heart. The prosperity of the commonwealth is an object towards which my desires and endeavors have been invariably directed, and her present state affords ample ground for mutual congratulations. The administration of our laws has been confided generally to men of legal knowledge, and of independent principles: justice is probably administered with as little delay as is compatible with our system of jurisprudence: Our courts are fast obtaining the confidence of the people: Our finances are in a promising situation, and, when we take into view the large sums due from the public debtors, must appear to be adequate, both to the regular demands of our frugal, republican institutions, and to such extraordinary expenditures as good policy may dictate.
The measures preparatory to the operation of our new criminal code, which were rendered necessary by the "act to amend the penal laws of this commonwealth," have been, as far as time and circumstances would admit of it, carried into execution. The commissioners acting under that law, have fixed on a piece of ground in the town of Frankfort, for the situation of the Jail and Penitentiary house: Directors of the building have been appointed, some progress has been made in the work, and there are considerable preparations for carrying it forward in the ensuing season. A system such as you have adopted, founded on the clear principles of justice and humanity, and sanctioned by sound policy, must be an object of the highest importance to the government, and claims the unremitting attention of the Legislature: I therefore feel a cheerful confidence, that any farther appropriations of money which may be necessary for carrying the law into effect, will be readily granted.
The refusal of John Thurman to act as keeper of the turnpike, on the road to Cumberland gap, reduced me to the necessity of suffering the turnpike to remain unoccupied till the meeting of the general assembly, or of farming it on the terms of the law for one year only;—and as it is of considerable consequence that the road should be kept in repair, I determined on letting it for that time. But since Mr. Thurman has in some degree defeated the intention of the legislature, in refusing to act; it may be expedient to modify the law in such a manner as may be the means of placing the state on an equality at least with any future undertaker.
The ruinous condition of the building you now occupy, cannot fail of exciting your attention. The injuries it sustains from inclement weather and the abuses committed on it by unthinking persons, must in time render it unfit for the reception of the legislature or of any of the officers of government. You will therefore, be aware of the necessity of your taking some steps for having the building completed, and of providing against future injuries, by committing it to the care of a proper person, and making him an adequate compensation for his trouble.
The 24th section of our election law will require a revision, since in consequence of some inadvertency at the last session of assembly, we are at present precluded by that law from having any representative in congress during the subsequent year.
The subject, fellow citizens, to which I am now about to call your attention is of a most serious and alarming nature. Constituting, as this state does, a branch of the federal union; it necessarily becomes a sharer in the general prosperity or adversity: and being deeply interested in the conduct of the national government, must have a right to applaud or to censure that government, when applause or censure becomes its due.
It cannot therefore, be improper to draw your attention to sundry acts of the federal legislature, which having violated the constitution of the U.S.—which having vested the president with high and dangerous powers, and intrrenched upon the prerogatives of the individual states, have created an uncommon agitation of mind in different parts of the union, and particularly among the citizens of this commonwealth.
The "act concerning aliens" is calculated to produce effects most strongly marked with injustice and oppression; because the exercise of
the power given therein, depends upon the discretion, or, I may say, the caprice of an individual. Nothing but a general prevalence of hypocrisy, among that numerous class of persons on whom this law is meant to operate, can prevent consequences so much deprecated:—for they must affect an approbation of all the measures of government, whatever be their genuine sentiments concerning them, or by an honest disclosure of their real opinion, expose themselves to be ruined by banishment, on the secret representations of some interested and officious informer, and without enjoying even the shadow of that trial by jury so dear to freemen.
Nor can the same law be regarded as any thing less than an artful, though effectual evasion of the provisions of that article of the federal constitution, which withholds from congress, the power of prohibiting the migration as well as importation of such persons as the states then existing should think proper to admit, a provision of the highest importance to those states whose population is not full, and who has a strong interest in welcoming the industrious strangers from every part of the world.
Another law, the operation of which is more extensive, as it respects the individual, is entitled "an act in addition to the act entitled, "an act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States;" which by fencing round the different branches of government, in their official capacity, with penal terrors, in a manner before unknown, hath created a new crime against the United States, in a case where an interference on the part of the legislature was rendered unconstitutional, by that clause which forbids the enacting of any law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.
Any violation of the constitution once acquired in, subverts, the great palladium of our rights, and no barrier remains to oppose the introduction of despotism.
Other causes, no doubt, have contributed to that uneasiness, which has disturbed the public mind:—for whilst the advancing condition of our agriculture and population—the ample, tho' not profuse state of our crops, and the promising prospects disclosed of a foreign market, strongly indicate our present prosperity, and afford well grounded expectations of future greatness.—and opens abundant scope, for the exercise of the most grateful feelings towards the RULER of the universe—a war, horrible in its nature and ruinous in its consequences, hangs over us,—a war by which we cannot possibly derive any advantages, but may lose every thing that is valued by freemen:—and, if by our united exertions and the favour of a kind providence, we may be so fortunate as to maintain our independence; it will be, at all events, at an expense under which we and our posterity must groan, and in consequence of which we may be rendered unable to encounter hereafter more formidable evils than any with which we are at present threatened.
Though fully satisfied in my own mind of the truth and importance of the ideas which I have suggested to you; I should probably have said less on the subject, had I not been informed, on good authority, that reports have been circulated in the Eastern parts of the union highly unfavorable to the political character of the people of Kentucky;—that they are represented as being, if not in a state of insurrection, yet utterly disaffected to the federal government, and determined to afford it no support, and that this commonwealth waits only for an opportunity to withdraw herself from the union.
For my part, fellow-citizens, I have a decided conviction of the falsehood of those aspersions, and I doubt not that your own knowledge of the real temper of mind prevalent among your constituents, will only make you hesitate whether to be surprised most at that base disregard to truth, which gave existence to calumnies so injurious to our reputation, or at the ignorant credulity which lent an ear to them.
Permit me then, to suggest to you the expediency of your declaring fully, in behalf of yourselves and of the respectable people whom you represent, your firm attachment to the federal constitution, and your determination to support the general government in every measure which is authorized by the commission under which it acts;—whilst at the same time, by entering your protest against all unconstitutional laws and impolitic proceedings,—tempering the bold firmness of freemen, with that moderation which indicates a love of tranquility,—you will raise high the character of your country in the esteem of those whose good opinion you should be solicitous of acquiring;—and convince the friends of liberty and of man, that whatever may be the fate of their cause in other countries;—Kentucky,—remote from the contaminating influence of European politics, is steady to the principles of pure republicanism, and will ever be the asylum of her persecuted votaries.
JAMES GARRARD.
Frankfort, November 7, 1798.
The following resolutions passed the house of representatives on Saturday last:
1. Resolved, that the several states composing the United States of Ame-
rica, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that by compact under the style and title of a constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes, delegated to that government certain definitive powers, reserving each state to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self government; and that whenever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force: That to this compact each state acceded as a state, and is an integral party, its co-states forming as to itself, the other party: That the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself; since that would have made its discretion, and not the constitution, the measure of its powers; but that as in all cases of compact among parties having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress.
2. Resolved that the constitution of the United States having delegated to congress a power to punish treason, counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States, piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offences against the laws of nations, and no other crimes whatever, and it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the constitution having also declared, "that the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states are, reserved to the states respectively, or to the people," therefore also the same act of congress passed on the 14th day of July, 1798, and entitled "An act in addition to the act entitled an act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States;" as also an act passed by them on the 27th day of June, 1798, entitled "An act to punish frauds committed on the bank of the United States" (and all other their acts which assume to create, define or punish crimes other than those enumerated in the constitution) are altogether void, and of no force, and that the power to create, define, and punish such other crimes is reserved, and of right appertains solely and exclusively to the respective states, each within its own Territory.
3. Resolved, that it is true as a general principle, and is also expressly declared by one of the amendments to the constitution that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people;" and that no power over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of the press being delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, all lawful powers respecting the same did of right remain, and were reserved to the states, or to the people: That thus was manifested their determination to retain to themselves the right of judging how far the licentiousness of speech and of the press may be abridged without lessening their useful freedom, and how far those abuses which cannot be separated from their use, should be tolerated rather than the use be destroyed; and thus also they guarded against all abridgment by the United States of the freedom of religious principles and exercises, and retained to themselves the right of protecting the same, as this state by a law passed on the general demand of its citizens had already protected them from all human restraint or interference; And that in addition to this general principle and express de-
claration, another and more special provision has been made by one of the amendments to the constitution which expressly declares, that "congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press," thereby guarding in the same sentence, and under the same words, the freedom of religion, of speech, and of the press, inasmuch, that whatever violates either, throws down the sanctuary which covers the others, and that libels, falsehoods, and defamation, equally with heresy, and false religion, are withheld from the cognizance of federal tribunals. That therefore the act of the congress of the United States passed on the 14th day of July 1798, entitled, "An act in addition to the act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States," which does abridge the freedom of the press, is not law, but is altogether void and of no force.
4. Resolved, that alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the state wherein they are; that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual states distinct from their power over citizens; and it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the constitution having also declared, that, "the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states respectively or to the people," the act of the congress of the United States passed on the 22d day of June, 1798, entitled "An act concerning aliens," which assumes power over alien friends not delegated by the constitution, is not law, but is altogether void and of no force.
5. Resolved, that in addition to the general principle as well as the express declaration, that powers not delegated are reserved, another and more special provision inserted in the constitution from abundant caution has declared, "that the migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the congress prior to the year 1808." That this commonwealth does admit the migration of alien friends described as the subject of the said act concerning aliens; that a provision against prohibiting their migration, is a provision against all acts equivalent thereto, or it would be nugatory; that to remove them when migrated is equivalent to a prohibition of their migration, and is therefore contrary to the said provision of the constitution, and void.
6. Resolved, that the imprisonment of a person under the protection of the laws of this commonwealth on his failure to obey the simple order of the president to depart out of the United States, as is undertaken by the said act entitled "An act concerning aliens," is contrary to the constitution one amendment to which has provided that, "no person shall be deprived of liberty without due process of law," and that another having provided "that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a public trial by an impartial jury, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses against him, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favour, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defence," the same act undertaking to authorize the president to remove a person out of the United States who is under the protection of the law, on his own suspicion, without accusation, without jury, without public trial, without

confrontation of the witnesses against him, without having witnesses in his favour, without defence, without counsel, is contrary to these provisions also of the constitution, is therefore not law but utterly void and of no force.
That transferring the power of judging any person who is under the protection of the laws from the courts to the president of the United States, as is undertaken by the same act concerning aliens, is against the article of the constitution which provides that "the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in courts, the judges of which shall hold their offices during good behaviour," and that the said act is void for that reason also; and it is further to be noted, that this transfer of judiciary power is to that magistrate of the general government who already possesses all the executive, and a negative in all the Legislative powers.
7. Resolved, that the contruction applied by the general government (as is evident by sundry of their proceedings) to those parts of the constitution of the United States which delegates to congress a power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises to pay the debts, and provide for the common defence, and general welfare of the United States, and to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the powers vested by the constitution in the government of the United States, or any department thereof, goes to the destruction of all the limits prescribed to their power by the constitution—That words meant by that instrument to be subsidiary only to the execution of the limited powers, ought not to be so construed as themselves to give unlimited powers, nor a part so to be taken, as to destroy the whole residue of the instrument: That the proceedings of the general government under colour of these articles, will be a fit and necessary subject for revision and correction at a time of greatest tranquility, while those specified in the preceding resolutions call for immediate redress.
8. Resolved, that the preceding resolutions be transmitted to the senators and representatives in congress from this commonwealth, who are hereby enjoined to present the same to their respective houses, and to use their best endeavours to procure at the next session of congress, a repeal of the aforesaid unconstitutional and obnoxious acts.
9. Resolved lastly, that the governor of this commonwealth be, and is hereby authorised and requested to communicate the preceding resolutions to the legislatures, of the several States, to assure them that this commonwealth considers union for specified national purposes, and particularly for those specified in their late federal compact, to be friendly to the peace, happiness and prosperity of all the states: that faithful to that compact, according to the plain intent and meaning in which it was understood & acceded to by the several parties, it is sincerely anxious for its preservation: that it does also believe, that to take from the states all the powers of self government, and transfer them to a general and consolidated government, without regard to the special delegations and reservations solemnly agreed to in that compact, is not for the peace, happiness, or prosperity of these states: & that therefore, this commonwealth is determined, as it doubts not its co-states are to submit to undelegated and consequently unlimited powers in no man or body of men on earth: that if the acts before specified should stand, these conclusions would flow from them; that the general government may place any act they think proper on the list of crimes and punish it themselves, whether enumerated or not enumerated by the constitution as cognizable by them: that they may transfer its cognizance to the president or any other person, who may himself be the accuser, counsel, judge, and jury, whose suspicions may be the evidence, his order the sentence, his officer the executioner, & his breast the sole record of the transaction; that a very numerous and valuable description of the inhabitants of these states, being by this precedent reduced as outlaws to the absolute dominion of one man, and the barrier of the constitution thus swept away for us all, no rampart now remains against the passions and the power of a majority of congress, to protect from a like exportation or other grievous punish-
ment the minority of the same body, the legislatures, judges, governors and counsellors of the states nor their other peaceable inhabitants who may venture to reclaim the constitutional rights and liberties of the states and people, or who for other causes, good or bad, may be obnoxious to the views or marked by the suspicions of the president, or be thought dangerous to his or their elections or other interests public or personal: that the friendless alien has indeed been selected as the safest subject of a first experiment; but the citizen will soon follow, or rather has already followed, for, already has a sedition act marked him as its prey: that these and successive acts of the same character, unless arrested on the threshold, necessarily drive these states into revolution and blood, and will furnish new calumnies against republican governments, and new pretexts for those who with it to be believed, that man cannot be governed but by a rod of iron: that it would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights; that confidence is every where the parent of despotism; free government is founded upon jealousy and not confidence; it prescribes limited constitutions to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power: that our constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which and no farther our confidence may go; and let the honest advocate of confidence read the Alien and Sedition acts, and say if the constitution has not been wise in fixing limits to the government it created, and whether we should be wise in destroying those limits? Let him say what the government is if it be not a tyranny, which the men of our choice have conferred on the president, and the president of our choice has assented to and accepted over the friendly strangers, to whom the mild spirit of our country & its laws had pledged hospitality & protection: that the men of our choice have more respected the bare suspicions of the president than the solid rights of innocence, the claims of justification, the sacred force of truth, and the forms and substance of law and justice. In questions of power then let no more be said of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.—That this commonwealth does therefore call on its co-states for an expression of their sentiments on the acts concerning aliens, and for the punishment of certain crimes herein before specified, plainly declaring whether these acts are or are not authorised by the Federal compact? And it doubts not that their sense will be so announced as to prove their attachment to limited government, whether general or particular, and that the rights and liberties of their co-states will be exposed to no dangers by remaining embarked on a common bottom with their own: but they will concur with this commonwealth in considering the said acts as so palpably against the constitution as to amount to an undisguised declaration that the compact is not meant to be the measure of the powers of the general government but that it will proceed in the exercise over these states of all powers whatsoever: That they will view this as seizing the rights of the states and consolidating them in the hands of the general government with a power assumed to bind the states (not merely in cases made federal) but in all cases whatsoever, by laws, made not with their consent but by others against their consent: That this would be to surrender the form of government we have chosen, and live under one deriving its powers from its own will, and not from our authority; and that the co-states recurring to their natural right in cases not made federal will concur in declaring these acts void & of no force, & will each unite with this commonwealth in requesting their repeal at the next session of congress.
[SUMMARY.]
Invasion of Ireland—By the French. By the London & Dublin accounts, it appears, that on the 22d of August, three French frigates arrived in Killala bay, and in the evening landed their troops, and took possession of the town of Killala, in the county of Mayo, & made a small party of the prince of Wales's fencible regiments, consisting of an officer and about twenty men, & some yeomen prisoners.—On the evening and night of the 26th, they marched to a village near Castlebar,
where, early on the morning of the 27th, they attacked and defeated gen. Lake, who had assembled about a thousand men, with six field pieces, to oppose their march; the six field pieces fell into the hands of the French: their loss is not stated, that of the English is stated at twenty men.—The French advanced to Castlebar, which is twenty miles south of Killala.—They proceeded from thence, north-easterly, to Foxford, and marching through the county of Sligo, (about thirty miles) to Coloony, where, on the night of the 5th of September they were attacked by col. Vereker, with a detachment of the Limerick militia, who were repulsed by the French.—Early on the morning of the 6th, the French marched easterly toward Drumahair and Manor of Hamilton, in the county of Armagh.—Shortly after the French had left Coloony, gen. Lake marched into that town.—On the morning of the 8th, gen. Lake came up with the French, who surrendered at discretion. The whole number of French was 1060. The accounts differ in the name of the French gen. who commanded this little army: Humbert, Surazin and Thohan, are named. They distributed among the rebels, arms and cloathing for 3000 men, but had never been able to collect more than 1500 of them, for service. Before they surrendered they had penetrated sixty or seventy miles into the country, amongst the most loyal subjects in that kingdom.
Admiral Nelsen has wrote to his government, that he is returning home, after having in vain sought for Buon-aparte's fleet, in the Mediterranean.
Mr. M. Lyon, (member of congress from Vermont) has been arrested, tried, and sentenced (under the sedition law) to pay a fine of one thousand dollars, and undergo four months imprisonment!
At the same time, a son of Mr. Lyon, and Messrs. Spooner and Haswell, printers, were arrested: what has been their fate, we have not yet heard.

NEW-YORK, October 15.
By the ship Argus , capt. Ward, in 26 days from Bourdeaux.
Having been successful in the receipt of French papers up to the 12th September, we shall be able to give many interesting articles. Capt. W. who is a well informed man, has communicated the following, on which the most implicit reliance may be placed. Copious extracts from the papers to-morrow.
Capt. Ward informs us, that the three frigates which had landed 1100 men in Ireland, had returned and put into Bourdeaux, on their way to Rochfort, from whence they sailed.—They were under command of Savory. Two other divisions, one from Dunkirk, and the other from Breft, had failed on the same business, but it was not known whether they had succeeded.
Capt. Ward informs also, that the noted Dr. Logan, who some time since left Philadelphia, is on board the ship Perseverance , of New-York, bound to Philadelphia. It is said he is the bearer of Triplicates of the French minister's propositions to this government. It is hoped that Logan's embassy has been for good purposes!
In a Paris paper of the 28th August, we find the following article.—We leave it to our readers to make their own comments.
Paris, August 28—No. 253.
"The American envoy, of whom we have spoken in our number of 251, and in which he is designated by the letters L—n, is a Dr. Logan.—He is not directly envoy of the United States, as we have given to understand; but, is only envoy of those of the United States who are avowedly in the interest of France. Dr. Logan has passports signed by the vice president, Jefferson, and judge McKean—he is also bearer of letters from M. Jefferson, for Merlin, president of the Directory, and Talleyrand Perigord.
The embargo on American vessels was raised the 3d of September.
A Paris paper of the 3d Sept. contains the U. States law of the 7th July, declaring the treaty between France and America, null: and the appointment of gen. Washington.

Veer, an eminent practitioner, and late presi- dent of the medical society of the state of New-Jersey; attended doctor William Shippen's lectures on ana- tomy, surgery and midwifery, in the city of Philadelphia—received a li- cense to practice as a physician and surgeon throughout the state of New- Jersey, 13th of August, 1785, from the honorable David Brearly and Isaac Smith, two of the justices of the Su- preme court of the state of New-Jer- sey, agreeable to an act passed 25th November, 1783, by the council and general assembly of that state, for re- gulating the practice of physic and surgery.
Since which time, he has travelled through twenty-two different tribes of Indians, among whom he has res- ided nearly four years, and made it his constant study to investigate and find out the virtues of all kinds of herbs, roots, plants and simples, used by them in the curing of diseases; by which means he has made a num- ber of valuable discoveries in the healing art, and now (with the blessing of God) cures and gives re- lief in most diseases incident to the human body—viz.

On a celebrated Prostitute.
O LOST Matilda! hapless maid! Sad child of everlasting woe! Beneath yon dark Yew's deadly shade I saw thy faded figure go!
No upcast look, with silent pray'r, Effay'd the mercy of the sky: E'en from the fountain of despair Flow'd the big tear that dimm'd thine eye.
Thy earthly friends were seen no more E'en hope had left thee on thy road; And sorrowing pity fled before The wrath of an insulted God!
