rs viii have the most direct tendency to con.
ell ate che affections of the people, and to
VI lie them in their great national Interest,"
and | can with pleasure announce to you
that. so far as my information extends, the
spirit of opposition to the measures of the
administration of the United States is great
" ameliOrated, and concern for our own
national honor, interest and independence is
becoming rapidly prevalent; while the ap-
prehcnsions OF a separation of the union and
the visionary schemes OF relying upon for
eign power for the protection OF our COM
mcrce is daily vanishing. and iust will be
remembered but with gratitude TO heaven
that we have escaped the snares of foreign
emissaries and domestic traitors, to distract
and divide US. And hope that the period
is not far distant, when the citizens of the
union will lay aside all party feelings, and
become united, like band Of brothers, in
support OF the best government on earth.
But while recommend To you, in the stron-
gest terms, chcerfully to- submit TO, and as a
member of the union to carry into effect, such
measures as have been, or may be, adopted
BY the United States for the preservation Or
defence of our national rights, at the same
time permit me to remind you, that you are
the guardians of those rights and powers
that are not delegated by the constitution to
the y. S. but are reserved to the respective
states, or to the people; for on the careful
attention to, and preservation of those rights
and powers, depends the political safety Of
the individual states.
