Agreeably to assignment , the two houses affiem

SPEECH:
Gentlemen of the Senate, and
Gentlemen of the House of Reprenta
tives,
OUR. ieiiow citizens, during the last year, have
purlued their employments with ii duiiry ynd fucctls.
No events of an alarming nature have happened to
diOuvb the peace ot the {late ; and if a spirit of com
petition appeared in the late elections, it Lldom pro
ceed; dto inju ious lengths, or tranfgrelled those
bounds of decency and moderation whkh will ever be.

experience in a more unprofperous condition, and

While in other nations, the attention of their go
vernments has been necefiary, to secure the people
againlt the danger of want ; in this ffate, the pro*
duCHons ot the foil, by ffie favour of Divine Provi
dence, h Ve been abundant for many iucceffive years.
The lands of this commonwealth, in almoif eve
ry inliairce, may be rendered fruitful, and prove a
tource of inercafing wealth and plenty. By their
improved cultivation, the people may not only he
furniflied with the ncceflaries and delights of life ;
but will be able to relieve the wants of other coun
tries, when a deficiency may happen, or when the
inhabitants are so numerous, as to consume a grea
ter quantity es provisions than their land commonly
produces.
Agriculture merks the attention of government, as
one ot tiie mofl eflential articles of wife and ufeful po
licy. Happily for mankind it is a pleasing and health
ful employment. No objedt of industry is more wor
thy of our applicatiou, or more suitable to our na
turc : and no one is more conducive to sobriety and
all kinds of virtue. In every w'ell regulated (late,
it lias been patronized by those who administered the go
verntnent. It was refpeefted by our ancestors, and
it would be unfortunate if their pefterity should ever
think themselves degraded by an employment th<t is
so ufeful, and so well adapted to preserve innocence
and virtuous manners The labour which is employ
ed in clearing uncultivated lands and making them
productive, is obviously beneficial to the public. Jt
tends, perhaps more than any other, to increafethe
aggregate population of the ffate, which is an ohj <ft
of great political consequence ■, and it muff afford the
molt pleasing reflections to the individual cultivators,
when by their industry. they have turned a wilder
ness into a fruitful field.
Since the commencement of the late war, the fo*
reign demand for provision has amply rewarded the
farmer’s industry $ and the expectation of that de
mand has occasioned uncommon exertions to supply
it. In this way we are indebted to commerce for
theincreafe of industry, as well as for its recompence.
We have hitherto found a market for any quantity
of produce wfe could raise, beyond what was neccfla
rv for our own consumption. The price may be re
duced in consequence of the peace in Europe, there
tnav hereafter he occalional interruptions to the de
mand from abroad, which may produce inconvenien.
cies. But as our exports are for the mod part eithe r
articles of food or materials neceflarv for the ma
nufactures of other nations ; there is fome ground to
expect that their price, will generally be in area-
Tunable propo-tuon. wiih that of the commodities for
which they are ? xchanged ;
To guard agaiuft the inccnveniercies I have men
tioned, and to ensure a demand forthe produce of our
foil- which will not be effeded by external events, &
at the lame time to render us less dependent upon
foreign nations ; it is wife policy to encourage our
own manufactures. The dispositions of men are suit
ed to different kinds of industry, and though the pur
suits of agriculture are agreeable to a great part of
them : vet fome are averse to this fort of labour ;
and others, either of nature or accident are ren
dered incapable of supporting it. These however
uiav be equally ufeful to the public, by employing
their talents in mechanic and manafa&uring occupa
?iot>s. Our own country is capable of supplying the
materials for almoftjevery kind of ufeful manufactures ;
and it is our duty and interest, to derive all the ad
vantage in our power from this fortunate circum-
Itance.
A valuable part of the articles exported from this
(Ute is furniffned by the fiflieries—they therefore
claim particular attention. But though from our fi
(nation and habits, we are moft directly interested in
their success—they will appear to be of great im
portance to national security. when a system of ma
titime defence is contemplated. These and other
branches of ufjKul labour, which have relation to the
means of |fblie fafety, will we presume, reeeife
from tbe national tbe degree-rl p u..c,
and patronagr Vrhtefi th<hr iplportance requires.
The duties imposed by the general government < .
the importation of foreign articles, operate as a h ir
ty upon our own manu! aft ores. But fttill it may!
requisite for the state government, to do fcmeihing \ w
encourage this species of industry—and even to afford
pecuniary aasillance, to p'eHons who are engaged i.
introducing new branches, or in prosecuting thol*
which are eminently ufefuj. In general, however;
when a is cff..blilhed, _ its continuance

the labours ought to be applied to a more benelkbu
jiurpofe. . t

naeafiire orl the manner in w hich the work is exe
cuted A want of integrity in the persons
ed muff eventually prove deffnnftive to the branch \u
which they arc engaged—and when the individu is
are numerous, the rarefrff attention ot the legiflatu’ e
will be n^ctffary. to prevent dilc red it to a whole
class of men by the trauds of a tew. To this end our
inlpe<ffi>n laws have been framed—and if carried
faithfully into execution, ar.d extended as there (hall
beoccafion :o other ohji £ts, will be of gTeat ule in
improving the quality of our manufactures, and pre
venting those decitful practices which would deffroy
their credit.
It has been often Lid, that nur manufacturing es--
tahlifliments will uot lucceed, so long as labour is at
the prelent high price. This observation is not con
firmed by general experience—for in many inftancea
ihey are now in a flourifhing ami progregivx ftaie..—
Our domeffic manufactures are alio of very gteav im*
portance, both to public and private prosperity—as
ihey furnith a larger proporiion of the ntcellaty ar
ticles of cloathing ar.d furniture, they are entitled to
every degree of encouragement, and no friend ofhis
country will despise or undervalue them
An increase of the manufacturing and commercial
intereffs mauiiellly tends to a fLunihing ffate ofa
griculture, by increasing the demand fur the iurplus
produce of the land ff’hele several iniereffs are mu’
tu.illy dependent, and there teems to be no cause of
jealousy between them. A wile government will di
rect and guard them with an equal hand. It will be-’
the coullatu object of such a government, to excite and
preierve a (pint of industry among the people, by aC
iiifingthem to gffn a reward tor e:uh k-nd ol
in lultry may then he lett tor tt'e molt part to its own*
direction. Ihe people will divide tlumfelves into.-
different picfeffions their difeerntnenr will en-aldc
t\ cm to make prudent choice and lead them to
puribiiin which their private advaniagr and that of
ihe public will concur.
In compliance with your reqaeft in the resolve of
the 23d of Juuc, 1 traotmitttd to ihe Prcfident of the
United States, a -ffatement of the proceedings con
cerning the ordinance and military Itores, which be
longed to this commonwealth, and were taken for
the use of the-United States ; and requefied payment
of the monies due -for them. 1 received an anfvver
from the presid ent, and have also received Imetx
from the fectetarv of war and of the navy on the fame
fubjerft. The council did not think it expedient to*
agree to the proposal made on the part of the U. S t .
and advised me to lay the pa pel s before the general,
court, that they might take such measures in the
case as they might think proper.
‘t ogether with those papers, the secretary will lay
before you a letter which >1 received from the attor*
ney general, inclofing copies of the rule and award
in the cale of the commonwealth ngiinft the rownof

two cases in the Supreme Judicial Court, holdrn for
the county of Hancock in Jur.e la!f, which were for

to interrupt the good agreement, and that we (half
prove ourselves worthy cf the confidence which otir
fellow citizens have repoied intis, by endeavouring
to secure to them all the advantages which their situ

COMMUNICATION.
RIFLE SHOOTING.
Perhaps no part of our country can furnifh more
genuine marksmen, than Boston and its vicinity The
following statement of an anuifement, vefterdav at
the punch bowl tavern kept by IVIr. Wnr.
‘inßrooline may be confidtted as corraborative of (lie
above observation.
A few dsvs since, a tieiglibour of Mr. ‘Fhornas
White, proposed to furnifh him with a day’s (hooting
at turkies, ior a certain sum which they agreed on.
The turkies to be let up at 11 oyards and Itance. Jr was
conceded to Mr. YV. thnt he (hould have the liber
ty to (hoot two rifles, and have an affiitant to wipe
and load. For the mutual convenience of the parries,
a piece of board about the bigness ol a middling fi zed
turkey was fubftittrted in its Bead. Ihe (hooting com
menced with the riling, and ended with the felling
the fun.
The yiftly reputed fame of Mr. White, as a maiks
man,excited on this occasion the y of a very nu
merous company. There was. peiiiaus- collected a
larger number of wli3t is termed the fir it f})A > t j lun e
ver aflembled on a similar occasion in this part of the
country, and on no occasion was ihffir allonifhmenc
raised to a higher pitch. Mr, W- made in the ccurie
of the day 39 5 shots three hundred and nine oj tuhich
hit. In one stage of the (hooting, out of thirty ei fit
fucceflive shots thirty-fix hit, a circumstance
unparalelled in any country. But as there frems to
be a natural propensity in mankind ** the more that is
given the more to require,’* a gentleman Handing by,
placed a 4d halfpenny piece in tne centre of the board*
This was taxing the eye and the nerves of the marks
man to an exorbitant degree indeed : however the
fir it three (hots perforated the hoard around the piece
in about the circumference of a dollar, and the fourtli
asifhe meant To ‘* outdo all outdoings,” drove it tIL
re<st!v through, leavingbut a trifling part of the rirti
adheiive to the wood ! Here, as with one voice all
y ielded the paint.
While we acknowledge with lurprize the abilirie*
of Mr. White, as a marksman it is but just to ailoir
due merit to Mr. John Mason of Shrewsbury, in thi*
State, who manufadured therifles that were (hot on
this occasion.
In such an extraordinary (hooting, it L v cty natural
forthe minds of fpe&ators to recur to tne loss fuftaic
ed by the fetter up : but liberality and geuerofirv ap
pear to be infepeimble companions of genome sports
men—and as amuf ment was the foie o'/jeCl contem
plated, nothing pecunicary wai exacted. Tiie fryhp
therefore closed with fuff flowing bowls.
