strengthening and confirming the laws, and for
making new laws as the common good may
require" The performance of these duties re-
quires enlarged and comprehensive views of
the great interests of the Commonwealth, and
is the highest service which can be rendered
by public agents. Whatever may improve the

serving our civil institutions, of extending the

of the country, cherishing agriculture and the
arts, encouraging domestic trade and an ami.

tons.
The general sentiments entertained by me
of the measures Of public policy proper to be
pursued, and my estimation of the character
which the Executive administration of the Gov

independence of party influence, for Jealous
prosecution OF the rights and interests of the
State, for the cultivation of spirit of harmony
with the National Government, and of patriot.
