BOn Tuefday the ift of June, Gov. delivered a fpecch to the Legilla ft of Maflachufetts, from which the ftlcnving paragraphs areextrafted.—The ftra!, candid, enlightened sentiments ■y contain, cannot fail to raise him fth in the esteem of every true friend to ftcountry : ■ "The patriotism of the American pco ft has been manifolded in upholding the ■font system of national government ; Hd the continuance of our union, is ab ftjtcly ncccffary to secure refpeft from ftcr nations, and preserve tranquility sting ourselves; for unless our views are ftcumferibed within a narrow circle, we ftlt perceive, that division would lead ft to disorder and vveaknefs, and expose ft to the loss of national importance, and fthvidual liberty. So long as thefc fttes are united, they will increase in ft'ver and profperlty ; but whenever the ■ Cs which cement them are diiTolved, P e y will probably decay and fall to ruin, M mutual jealaufses and intestine feuds. ■ “There is no evil to which free go ftmments are more exposed, than the pre. ■knee of party fpirit.v The extreme ■°knce of this spirit degrades the cha ftfer of a nation, and vitiates the mo* fth of the people ; it has proved fatal to ftnoft every other republic, either by ftbling a fucccfsful chief to cftahlifa his ftpite on its ruins, or by weakening its Bfhty to oppofc foreign invasion ; it Iftls to pervert the judgment as well as B ru pt the heart, and render the fubjeft unsocial and intolerant. Men who ordinary commerce of life would |Bain to make use of deception, when Hated hy the rage of party, will give to reports, which at least they IBjhink doubtful; their pretended pa fth, degenerates into an eagerntfs to support patty principles; r.nd in order ta influence opinions, or mcafures, or to reta liate fuppofcd injuries, they have no fcru. p!e in violating the plained rules ol decen cy and justice. Our fcntimcnts on po litical fubjefts will be different, but this diversity, if in exprefling it we confine ourfclves within the limits of truth and candor, will not he injurious, and if it produces an honorable emulation to pro mote the public good, may even be ufe ful. It is impoflible that all should he of one opinion, and it is a rcafonable indul gence to fuffer every man. to enjoy his own , in many cases however, an open and fair examination of public mcafures, is neceflary to enable the people to form a correct judgment concerning them ; and if the current opinion is different from ours, we may endeavour by calm difeufli on, without artifice or calumny, to cor rect the supposed error. But the man who unneceilbrily excites public alarm, or resentment, is a diiturber of the peace, and whatever his pretences may be, he is aduated by improper motives, and has no regard to the interest of his country. u We flatter ourfclves that the mild character of our fellow-citizens, and their general information, will save us from thole excesses of party zeal, by which orhcfr nations have been disgraced ; but there is fucli a propensity to indulge this pr.flion and it has so often proved deftruc tiVc, that good men should fapprefs it in themfclvcs and difeourage the appearance of it in others; this duty is peculiarly incumbent on the public officers of the state ; for if at any time they should un fortunately happen to be under its influ ence, instead of guarding the public inte reil with flcady patriotism, they might indiscreetly facrificc it to private attach ments. A prudent and temperate course of proceeding on the part of government, will generally produce moderation and aequiei'cence in the people; and 1 hope and trull, that in difeharging the duties of our refpe-flivc offices, our impartial condudl w ill prove, that we are the faith ful agents of the commonwealth, and not the leaders or inftrumenrs of a party ; and that we invariably endeavour to premote the peace and prosperity of our fellcrw citizens, and not to excite their passions, or confirm their prejudices.” Senate of the United States.
