time such tender was made; but they declare they will not repeal, or make any alteration in the present law, till such time as all the flats notes are carried into the treasury, and cancelled; and thdy hold out to the people at Urge, the moment they break in upon the prelent system, they will be ruined, and that by their continuing firm, they will bring the others to terms. From this you will judge we have little or nothing to expect from our prclent rulers, as at the riling of each fcffiou fhey hold up the idea to the minority, that something lhall be done the next to fatisfy them in either repealing or suspending the tender, or calling a convention; but when met in their nocturnal convention, it is al ways determined to continue in their iniqui tous measures. We are informed that the members of Congress are in general pleased with our new revenue act, and look upon it as a favorable symptom of fetferalifin; but I can affine you this is not the case, and it is done wi ; h a view to ainufe the people, and continue theni felves in office a little longer, with the hopes it will be in their power to oppress the fede ralifis, and embarrais the new- government, which they are oetermined to do as much as possible ; and unleft Congrcft wilfadoptfome deciiive measures, there" is-little or'atPbifb fpefl of thfcrf calling a convention, as you may obl'erve by their conduct in the last ief flons, which rose lad Saturday, without al tering the tender, or giving any encourage ment for calling a convention ; they are ad journed till next October, when there will be a new choice. “ From the above fiatement of fads, you may judge, as we have nothing to hope from our present rulers, so we have nothing to dread from their resentment, were we to withdraw ourfeives,~and claim the protection of the new government.” EDEN T O N, July 9. The following ADDRESS of the Governor and Council of this ftatei'has lately been presented to General IVaJkington , Prelident of the United States ; to which he has been pleased to return the answer thereunto sub- To his Excellency GEORGE WASHING- 1 TON, Efquirc,- President of th* United States. SIR* ’ . . AMIDST the congratulations which sur round you from all quarters, We, the Go vernor and Council of the state of North-Ga rolina, beg leave to offer ours, with equal sincerity and fervency with any which can be presented to you. T hough this state be not yet a member'of the union under the new form of government, r we look forward with the pleasing hope of its shortly becoming such; and in the mean “time confider ourfeives bound in a common infei est and'affedion with the other dates, waiting only for the happy event of such alterations being propo sed as will remove the apprehenffotft*iof many of the good citizens of this state, for those liberties for which they have fought and dif fered in common with others. This happy event, we doubt not, wfil be accelerated by your Excellency’s appointment to the firft of fice in the union, liuce we" are Well assured the fame greatness of mind, which in alt feenes has so eminently ’charaflerifed your" Excellency, will induce you to advise every raeafure calculated to compose party divisions, and to abate any aniraofity that may be ex- , cited by a mere difference in opinion. * Your Excellency will confider (however others may forget) bow extremely difficult it is to unite all the people of a great country in one common fentimcnt upon almost any political Subject ; much left upon a new form of go vernment materially different from one they have beeh accustomed to, and will therefore father be disposed to rejoice that so much has been efife&ed, than regret that more cuulu not all at once be accompliihed. We fin* cerely believt America is the only country in the world where such a deliberate change of government could take place uuder any cir* cumftances whatever, • , W« hope your Excellency will pardon the liberty we take in writing so particularly on tiiia fubjeft » butdhis state, however it may differ! hi any political ©pinion* with the other Hates, cordially Join* with them »n leuiiments oHbrvtintft W'vipuw***’ iof * _ ' , * * j- t _ y _ j \ i* those diftinguiftved ta’ents and that niuftrious virtue, which we feel a pride in faying we believe, under God, have been the principal means of preserving the liberty and procur ing the independence of your country. We cannot help confideriug you, Sir, in some measure, as the father of it, and hope to ex perience the good effect* of that confidence you so justly have acquired, in an abatement of the party spirit which so muclT endangers a union on which the fafety and happiuefs of America can alone be founded. May that union, at a short didance of time, be as per feft and mote fate than ever! And iu the mean while, may the date of North-Caroliua be considered, as it truly deserves to be, at tached with equal warmth-with any date in - the union, to the true interest, profpcritT, and glory of America, differing only iu some " particulars in opinion as to the means of pro ~ mbutfg them t SAMUEL JOHNSTON. Bjr order and on behalf of the Council, jAMES IREDELL, Prefnieut, By order, Wat* 'job jion Ua'wjon, May 10, 1789." Clerk Council. To the GOVERNOR and COUNCIL of the State of North-Carolina. Gent if me tiy IT was fcatcely possible for any address to have given me greater pleasure than that which I have just received from you : because 1 conlidcr it not only demonstrative of your approbation of conduct in accepting the firft office in the union, but also indicative of the good difpofirions of the citizens of your‘ date towards thtif lifter dates, and of the pio babiiity v»f their speedy acceding to the new general government. ...... In juftification of the optnihn which you am pleased to express of my readmels “to advilc every mealure 'calculated to compose party divisions, and to abate any animosity that may be excited by mere difference of opi nion,” i take the liberty of referring you to the femimeuts communicated by me, to the • two Houles of Congress. On this occasion, I am likewise happy in being able to add the strongest alTurances, that I entertain a well grounded expectation' that 1 la thing will be wanting on the part of the different branches of the general government to render the union as perfect, and more fafe than ever it has been. • • A difference of opinion on political points is not to be imputed to freemen as a fault; since it is to be presumed that they are all actuated by an equally laudable and sacred regard for the liberties of their country. If the mind is to formed in different perlbns as to confidcr the fame object to be fumewhat different in its nature and coufequeuces, as it happens to be placed iu different points of view, aud if the oldest, ‘the ablest, and the " molt virtuous statesmen have often diffeYed in judgment as to the belt forms of government —we ought, indeed, rather to tejoicc that so much has been affected, than to regret t lit more could not ail at once be accomplished. * Gratified by the favorable fentimeuts wflich ate evinced in your address to me, and 1 ui- . pressed with an idea that the citizens of your state are sincerely attached to theTuteteft, the prosperity, and the glory of America, l molF earnestly implore the divine bn*)ediefi«»n and > guidance fn the councils which are ihortiy to be taken by their delegated, on a fubjeCt of the mod momentous confequeuce, I mean the political relation which is to fuouff hereafter, between the state of North-Caroiiua, and the ftate* now in union under the general govern ment.
