are combated by the habits of their bodies, prej
of their minds, ignorance, pride, and in the infltienCo
of interetted and crafty individuals among them, who
feel thetnfelves fomething in the prefent order of
things, and fear to become nothin& in any other.
—Thefe perfons inculcate a fanetmonious rever-
ence for the cufloms of their anceflors ; that what-
ever they did mita be done through all time
that reafon is a Life guide, and to advance under
its counfel in their phylical, moral. or political
condition, is perilous itinovation : that their duty
is to remain as their Ca tarot made them, igno
ranee being fafety. and knowledge full of danger.
P In Quirt, my ft lends, among them alto is feen the ac•
tion and counter-anion of good fenfe and of bigotry.
They too have their anti-philorophifts, who find an
intereit in keeping things in their prefent Rate; who
dread reformation, and exert all their faculties to',
maintain the afcendancy of habit over the duty of im-
proving our reafon and obeying its mandates.
" In giving thefe outlines. I do not wean, fellow.
citizens, to arrogaie to myfelf the merit of meafures.
That is due, in the fir({ place, to the reflecting cha-
racter of our citizens at large, who, by the weight of
public opinion, influence and (trengthen the public
meafures. It is due to the found difcretion with
which they fele& from among.themfelves thole to
whom they confide the Legiflative duties. It is due
to the zeal and wifdom of the characters thus felec-
ted, who lay the foundation of public happinefs in
wholefome laws, the execution of which alone re-
mains for others : and it is due to the able and faith-
ful auxiliaries, whore patriotifm has affociated them
with me in the exec' Aire funaions.

" During this courle of adminittration, and in or.
der to didurb it, the artillery of the prefs has been
levelled againd us, charged with whatever its been-
tioufnefs could devife or dare. Theft abufes of an inai-
-tution Co important to freedom and (deuce, are deep-
ly to be regretted, inafmuch as they tend to leffen
its ufefulnefi, and to Cap its &fey. They might per-
haps have been correfted by the wholefome
ments refereed to, and provided by the laws of the
feveral RAMS againfi fallehood and defamation. But
public duties more urgent prefs on the time of pub-
lic fervants, and the offenders have therefore been left
to find their punilbment in the public indignation.
66 Nor was it uninterefiing to the world that an ex-
periment fhould be fairly and fully made, whether
freedom of difcuilion, unaided by power, is'not fuffi-
cient for the propagation and preteftion of truth ?
Whether a Government, conducing itfelf in the trite
fpirit of its conflitution, with zeal and purity, and do.
ing no aft which it would be unwilling the whole

hood and defamation ? The experiment bas been
tried. You have witneffed the fcene. Our fellow-
citizens have looked on cool and collated. They
faw the latent fource from which there outrages pro-
ceeded. They gathered around their public fundion-
aries ; and when the confiitotion called th;:m to the
decifien by fuffrage, they pronounced their verdid,
honourable to thole who had ferved them, and con-
folotary to the friend of man, who believes be may
be entruited with the controul of his own affairs.

" No inference is here intended that the laws pro-
vided by the Rates againd falfe and defamatory pub-
lications Would not be enforced. He who has time
renders a fervice to the public morals and' public
tranquillity, in reforming thefe abufes by the falutary
coercions of the law. But the experiment is noted to
prove that, time truth and reafon have maintained
their ground againft falfe opinions in league with
falfe fags, the prefs, confined to truth, needs no other
legal reftraint. The public judgment will corral
falfe reafonings and opinions, on a full hearing of all
parties, and no other definite line can be drawn be-
tween the inettimable liberty of the prefs, and its de-
moralizing licentioufnefs. If there be (lilt impro-
prieties which this rule would not reftrain, fup-
plement mud be fought in the cenforthip of public
opinion. • •
" Contemplating the union of fentiment now mani-
fefted generally, as arguing harmony and happi.
ads to our future courts, 1 offer to our country lin-
eere congratulations. With thofe too not yet rallied
to the fame point, the difpolitiOn to do fo is gaining
Rrength. faith are piercing through the veil drawn
over them ; and our doubting brethren will at length
fee that the mats of their fellow 'citizens, with whom
' they cannot yet refolve to at, as to, principles and
meafures, think as they think, and defire what they
delire. That our with as well as theirs, is that the
public efforts may be dirtfted 'mealy to the public
good, that peace be cultivated, civil and religious
li-
betty unaffailed, law and order preferved, equality of
rights maintained, and that date of property, equal
or unequal, which refolt to every man from his own
inclullry or that of his fathers. When (atisfied of
thefe views, it is not in human nature that they Would
not approve and fupport them. In the mean time let
us cherifh them with patient affettion. Let us do
them juftice, and more than jußice, in all competitions
of intereft ; and we need not doubt that truth, rea-
fon; and their own interefts, will at length prevail ;
will gather them into the fold of their country, and
will complete that entire union of opinion, which gives
to a nation the bleffings of harmony, and the lxencfit
of all its firength.
" I Wall now enter on the daties to which my fel-
lovicitizens have again called me : and thall proceed
in the fpirit of thole principles 'which they have
approved. I fear not that any motives of iptered
may lead me affray ; I aro (enable of no paffion
which would (educe me knowingly from the path of
juflice; but the weaknefs of human nature, and the
Unfits of my own underftanding, will produce errors
of judgment fometitnes injurious to your interefts.—

heretofore experienced ; the want of it certainly will
set Wren with intreefing years. I (tall need too the

THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH.
WASIMIGTON, MARC MI 4.—This day at 12 o'clock,
'Noma' Jerrrason, Prefident of the United State
took the oath of office ; and delivered the following
inaugural fpeech, in the Senate Chamber, in the
; pretence of the Members of the two Houle:, and a
large concourfe of citizens:
PrOceeding, fellow citizens, to that qualification
which the conaitution requires, before my entrance
on the charge again conferred on me, it is my duty
to exprefs the deep fenfe I entertain of this new proof
of confidence from my fellow-citizens at large, and
the zeal with which it infpires me fo to condo& my-
(elf as may belt fatisfy their jolt expeSatione
" On taking this Ration on a former occafion, I
• declared the principles on which I •believed it my
duty to adminifter the affairs of our commonwealth.
My confcience tells me that I have on every occa-
fion ailed up to that declaration according to its
obvious import, and according to the underttanding
of every candid mind.
44 In the tranfaaion of your foreign affairs, we
have endeavoured to cultivate the friendfhip of all
nations, and efpecially of thofe with which we have
the moll important relations. We have done them
jultice on all occalions, favour where favour was law-
' fat and cherifhed mutual intereßs and intercourfe on
fair and equal terms ; we are firmly convinced, and
we a& on that conviCtion; that with nations as with
individuals, our interefts, foundly calculated, will
ever be found infeparable from our moral duties.—
And hißory bears witnefs to the fad, that a jug na
lion is trolled on its word, when recourfe is had to
armaments and wars to bridle others.
44 At home, fellow-citizens, you bell know whe-
ther we have done well or ill. The fuppreffion of
unneceffary offices, of ufelefs eftablifliments and ex-
races, enabled us to discontinue our internal taxes.
hefe, covering our land with officers, and opening
ear doors to their inoulions, had already begun that
procefs of domiciliary vexation, which, once enter-
tained, is fcarcely to be retrained from reaching
fucceffively every article of produce and of proper-
, ty. If among there taxes Come minor ones fell,
which had not been inconvenient, it was becaufe
their amount would not haw paid the officers who
colleted them, and becaufe if they had any merit,
the Rate authorities might adopt them intend of
others his approved.
46 The remaining 'revenue on the confumption of
foreign articles, is paid chiefly by thole who can af-
ford to add foreign luxuries to domellic comforts.—
Being colleted on our lea-board and frontiers only,
and incorporated with the tranfadions of our mer-
cantile citizens, it may be the pleafure and the pride
of an American to ark, what farmer, what mecha-
nic, what labourer, ever fees a tax-gatherer of the
United States ? Thefe contributions enable us to fup-
port the current expences of the government, to ful-
fil contras with foreign nations, to cxtinguifh the
native right of foil within our limits, to extend thole
limits, and to apply fuch a furplus to our public
debts, as places at a fhort day their final redemption,
and that redemption once effeeed, the revenue
thereby liberated, may by a jut repartition among
the Rates, and a correfponding amendment of the
conßitution, be applied, in time of peace, to rivers,
canals, roads, arts, manufaCtures, education, and
other great objets within each Rate. In time of
war, if injoilice by outfelves or others mutt Come-
times produce war, increafed as the fame revenue
. will be by increafed population and confumption,
and aided by other refources referved for that crifis,
it may meet within the year all the expences of the
• year,' without encroaching on the rights of future
generations, by burthening them with the debts of
the pall. War will then be but a fufpenfion of ofe-
fel works, and a return to a Rate of peace, a return
to the progrefs of improvement.
6' I have (aid, fellow-citizens, that the income re-
ferved bad enabled us to extend our limits ; but that
mention may poffibly pay for itfelf before we are
called on, and in the mean time may keep down-the
accruing intereft. In all events it will replace the ad-
!Fences we (hall have made. I know that the acqui-
fition of Louifiana has been difapproved by Tome„
from a candid apprehenfion that the enlargement of
our territory may endanger its union ; but who can
limit the extent to which the federative principle may
operate effeitively ? The larger our affociation, the
lefs will it be Waken by local paffions, and in any
view is is not better that the oppofite bank of the
.• Miffiffippi Would be fettled by our own brethren and
children, than by Rrangers of anothir family ? With
which !ball we be mot likely-to live in harmony and
friendly interconrfe ?
• " In Matters of religion I have confidered that its
free exercife is placed by the conflitution, indepen-
dent of the powers of the general government. I
have therefore undertaken, on no occafion, to pre-
, fcribe the religious exercifes fuited to it ; but have
left them as the conititution found them, under the
direition or difcipline of the Rate or church authori-
ties acknowledged by the revere) religious focieties.
44 The aboriginal inhabitants of thefe countries I
have regarded with the couirnifferation their hittory
infpires. Endowed with the faculties and the rights
1-:* Men, breathing air ardent love of liberty and in-
Jejieodence, and occupying a country which left
them no defile but to be undifturbed, the beam of
overflowing population from other regions directed
Vett. on there (bores. Without power to divert, or
habits to contend againfl it, they have been over-
whelmed by the current, or driven before it.. Now
seduced within limits too narrow for the hunter flare,
humanity enjoins us to teach them agriculture and
the domellic arts; to encourage them to that indef.
try which alone can enable them to maintain their
place is ezißence, and to prepare them in time for
that Rate of fociety, which, to bodily comforts, adds
the improvement of the mind and morals.: Wehave
therefore liberally furniflsed them with• the imple-
ments of hufbandry and houfehold ufe we have
placed among them inaruaors in the arts of flit ne-
cellity ; and they are covered with the ogis of the
law again!! aggrefors from among ourfelves.
66 But the endeavours to enlighten them on the fate
which awaits their mica mire of life, to induce
