the Congress of the Uhited States, tor The term
of six wears, from and after the 4th of May

Since the adjournment Of the last General AS
sembly, communications upon various SUBJECTS
have been received by me from the Executives
&, of several states ut the Union, winch VIII oe
laid before you.
Il has been we'll said tllut " eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty" Our fathers showed their
jealousy of overgrown wealth 10y their Legislative
enac,nents. We have no lnrge nonopollSts a.
n,onp us TO exercise sway {; no privileged clas.
SEES TO exert controng influence over our pop
uIar assemblies But the enquiry may well be
made whether our institutions are perfectly safe
in another direction and from different class.-
There is occasion to fear, that the deragogue,
under the pretence OF sympathy, may urge to
partcipation in our elective privileges, those who
have sought an asylum among us, before they
shall be qualified, either by length Of residence,
or attachment TO our institutions, to exercise that
sacred right. The purity -four elections should
be matter of frequent and careful Investigation.
Coming Immediately from among the people,
you must be intimately acquainted with their
wants, and in the discharge of your duties
can engage my cordial concurrence IN all meas
ures for the good of the people
The responsible stations to which my fellow
citizens have been pleased repeatedly 10 call me,
entitle them To my most grateful acknowledge
ments and this renewed mark of the public IA
orgreatly increases my obligations.
