In all public expenditures the most rigid econo>

useful ends, and true wisdom dictates n resorg To-
such means, in order to supply defcieneicd y, the
revenue, rniher than those doubtful expedients,
winch, nltimating in public debt, serve 10 en-
barrass tho resources Of the country and to lossen
its ability 20 meet any great emergency which may
arise. All sinecures should be abolished. The
appropriations should be direct and explicit, so as
to leave limited share fdiscreton 10 the disburs
ing agents as may be found compatible with tho
public service. A strict responsibility on the part
of all the agents of the government should be main
tanned, and pocuIaton or de!alcation visited with
immediate expulsion fiom the office and the most
condign punishment ="
The public interes, demands that, irwar has ex-

shall cease. Measures of n financial character,
now having the sanction legal enactment, shall
be faithfully enforced until repealed by Legislative

Of our system Of Government, and tho light their
glorious example.
The institutions under which we live, my coun-
trymen, secure each person in the enjoyment of all
his rights. The spectacle is presented to the world
ola Government deriving its poweis from the con-
ly 50 much power M is necessary for its successful
operation. Those who charged with ito admin
istraon should carefully abstain from all attempts
10 enlarge the range Of powers thus granted TO the
several departments of tho government, o.her than
by an appeal to the People i6r additional grants,
lest by so doing they disturb the balance whichth
patriots and statesmen who framed differentiation
designed 10 establish between the Federal Governs
ment and the States composing the Union.
The observance ar these rules is enjoined upon
MS by that feeding of reverence and affection which
finds place in the heart of every patriot for the
preservation OF Union and the blessings of Union
for the good Of our children and our childrcn's
children, through countless generations. m oppo
site course could not fail to generate factions, intent
upon the qualification of their selfish ends; give
birth TO local and sectional enlousies, and ultimate
either IN breaking asunder tho bonds of union, or
in building up central system, which would in
evitably end IN a bloody sceptre, and an iron
crown.
In conc lusion, beg yon to be assured that
shall exert myself 10 carry the foregoing principles
intn practice during my administration OF the Gov
eminent, and, cotfding in the projecting of
an ever walchiul and over ruling Providence,
il shalt be my first and highest duty preserve un.

a nd transmit them TO those who shall succeed me
in their full force and vigor.
