We are fully aware oftre delicate natures Of thar
portion Of your Excellency's duties, which regard 5
appointments 10 Office, and hrm!y believe that IN
the ieieaIoa OF candidates, your E8cellency has
been uniformly attuated by the mof imparta

that this power becomes courge to the people,
The fouRd and pertinent lrntiments advanced by
your Excellency, upon the eneral importance o

promote the public haPpncisj ard INDUCE com
pliance with the laws OF the Supreme 3cIBg de-
mand our mott cordial afieut and APPRECIATION.
We rriolce in the exiheHce OF that National
Cont tuto I, which unites the People Of the everS
States Ia the bonds of inieref, and intitles them
10 the common privilege of citizens. Nothing
fhai Be wanting on our parts to contioue and ex-
tend It's advantages TO our FellowaCtizens, b. the
performance OF flch duties, az o. The part OF the
Common wealth ia now incumbent upoa US.
The importance OF the union of the States, and
Of the National Government TO our fsfety and
traoquillity, cannot be too frequently nculcat-
ed. We regard the preerVation of both, as the
m mof iacred Of our public duties. In an extenfve
confederacy, Competed Of various States, mutual
jealoufes, aud y@lent coliions OF opnon are ns
turalIy expected, and Il may fomeHmss happcn,
that local politics and predIi'ction, may acquire
dangerous afcendency in the public couuclls.
In such f-afons, pati-nc-, moderation and rel
ance upon Contitutoaai resreis, would becoms
all good citiaens II iultead of tbs temper, the
public mind thonld be attuated by dsfPsrate refo-
iutions 10 abandon the Union, or a premature
diff ience of our means TO maintain il he for

We unite with your Exceency, in 6eprecatihP
