written IS tine. with to interpofe this
law between the freedom Of difcufion and
lthe overbearing fway of that tyrannical
1pirit, by VII CHI a certain political parry
in this country is aauated that Ipirit
which arrogating to itfelf to lpeak in the
name of the people, like fanat ,cifm AFRO
eating to itfelf. to fpeak in the name of
God, knows neither moderation, mercy
. %jufice ; regards neither feeling, prin-
ciple nor right, and fweeps down, with re-
lentlefs fury, all that dares to detect it's
domination. It's my knowledge of this
fpirit, fir, Of its frantic excefes, its un-
sfeeliug tyranny, and its intolerable re-
venge, that makes me anxious to raife this
one mound between its fury and public IL
berty ; t put into the hands Of free diff
c%ufion, one hield sgainf its darts. This
fhield, | have little doubt, will at length
and perhaps very foon, be torn away ; for
the fpirit Of which / e1peak, goaded by
confcious inferiority, Rimulated to mad
ncfs, by the envy of fuperierta talents, repu-
gtation ard virtue, knowsto brook no check
upon its rife, no c~enfnre upon It's exceies
but ! will not fanetion my own death by
my own vice. | will not yield one bArri-
to freedom and the right to opinion,
while / can defend it. Iregard this law as
fuch barrier (; feeble perhaps, indeed, and
Intellectual to check the progrefs Of that
~tyrannical fpirit which even now can fcarce
refrain its rage; but though feeble, yet
dear to freedom, and never 10 be ABANDON
eddy freedoms friends. And norder to
keep up this barrier TO the laf, / fhall
now, while ! may, vote for the continu-
ance of that law, which, mitigates the RI
gour Of the common law in this refped,
and protects the liberty of the, prefs and
of opinion, by e~nattipg that the truth may
be given in evidence on indictments for
slibels againff the government.

The people Of this fate, however. w;,1
recollect that when the contribution wa.
formed, they were opprefed NTH an al
mott ~infupportable weight Of taxes. and
that with all their exertions it was difcult
tor them, to pay the intereR of the aate
debt. By the fettlement of the public
accounts, and the a1umption-o of the ba-
lance due to us by the national govern.
ment, we are relieved from the burden
and you fill find by a Hatement Of tbA

that our prefent debt may fcon be cancels.

liability Of the American character.
From the commencement of the wal in
Enrses, it has been the policy Of the gene
raj government to cultivate peace with all
nations-to obferye an exact neutrality
between the powers at war, and by the
fulflment of treaties and refpea for the
law of nations, to maintain itfelf in that
impartial @courie, which its duty and inter-
eft prefcribed. But notwithstanding thefe
cautious meafures, our intercourfe with
other nations has been obfrueted, and to
juiify thefe obfruaions, our refped for
the duties owing from one nation to ano-
ther, has at different times been drawn in
to queition by one or other of the bellige-
rent powers.
Atlength a regard to the public fafe.y
compelled the government to have r~ecourfe
to defenfive meafures, and the fuccefs of
our infant navy in preventing depredations
upon our commerce, will ferve to convince

The favourable ltuation of our fellow
citizens and the appearances of general and
progrefive improvements which prefer,
themfelves toour view in the various parts
of the Commonwealth, afford US fubieas
Of mutual cong~ratulation.
In the courfe Of the laf year the feafons,
through the greater part Of our country,
have been fruitful our trade and fiheries
were generally profperous, and the people
of this fate have not again been vifted
with that alarming7diieaie which has fatal
ly prevailed in fome parts of the United
States. Thefe and many other providen-
tial blefings, will on this location occur to
our remembrance, and demand the graft
tude of our hearts.
but while we rejoice in public profperi-
ty, it will be our duty to reflect, that we
owe to our fellow citizens our vigilant and
faithful endeavours to preferve their pre-
fent advantages, and promote their .lafing
reputation & interef, to check the growth
of vice and impiety--to cherih the infi-
~tutions formoral ~inftruetion and the educa-
ton of youth and to maintain the princi-
pies of juaice and provide equal admin
Rration in every part of the Common
wealth.
At the fame time our obligations to
fupport the federal contribution will require
us, to attend to public national affairs, and
endeavor to difufe correct information
concerning them among our fellow citizens
