Mafia ch-ufetts Legislature. FRIDAY? Jan. 14. Agreeably to assignment , the two houses affiem bled together , when his Excellency, at 12 o'- clock, came in and delivered the following 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. rtipe&ed by a virtuous and enlightened people. 1 his Uaie of society is favorable to public happiness a id, muff give peculiar pleasure to you gentlemen s it prevents the embairaiments which you might experience in a more unprofperous condition, and euders your leg’ffative dudes easy and agreeable 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 muff depend upon the profits arising from fail to defray the exp-nces. it is an indication th?r the labours ought to be applied to a more benelkbu jiurpofe. . t 1 he fucceTs of manufaiffures depends in a gi*cat 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.

Jan, i4, ISO3. CALEB STRONG 'm+m—mmrnm 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. Roxbury, Jan. 12, jSoj. . -A
