representatives, Of . Free people mnsi. Al

The constituent body. You have eFex
shown, alsuch periods, . lively concern
10 the public purposes Of their. eonyen-
iion; and we need mol remind you. that
the importance sfihese meetings isgreafy
increased. by The substitution ef he bieh-
NAL, for the annual session. Of former
times. Nor need we remind you. that
The peculiar condition of The people and
their affairs, much more demands, a.
one time, ihan at another, the energies.
the wisdom and patriotism Of iheir ser
wants. True il is, that 10 The easiest and
calmest times, the honest'legislaior, de-
voted q, your welfare, will find enough
10 engage his best talents iniimproving
yor laws, enhancing your hapdiness, ma
nistering TO your comforts, and ferlily isg
the guards or public liberty; but. occa-
sionally, the smooth surface Of the best
settled governments becomes rufiied with
the storms OF adyersities, which .human
foresight could not discern, or discern bns
dimly, and against which human prudence
has made no adequate provision. The
prices Of labor may suddenly and unsS-
peciedly fall; the seasons may prove I'M.
usually adverse; . generalilailure OF mar
neutrality-suspicious. may follow, attended
by an unusual scarcity Of money. All
these may happen. just when unPreces
dented smbafrassments press, mos, hea
Willy, on the debtor. When such a.comhi
nation Of causes exist, distress must ineri-
tabiy ensue.
We will not be 80 rash, as 10 intimate
. that. al such time, your General ASSEM-
bly, can dispel the gloom and restore the
sunshine Of prosperity; but we believe
much may be done to nSugase the blow
of such misfortunes. Certainly, noR niS
shsuld be done 10 add 10 them rigers and
Increase their seventies.
