our country in i elation to the
pries which separate their respective
jurisdictions, tire results can be of no
vital injury to our institutions, if
that ardent patriotism, that devoted
attachment to liberiy, that spirit ol
moderation an ! forbearance for which
our countrymen were once distin
gubhed, continues to he cherished.
If tiiis continues to be the ruling pas
Hon of our souls, the weaker feelings
of the mistaken enthufiaet will be cor
rected, tire Utopian dreams o the
scheming politician dissipated, and the
complicated intrigues ol the demago
gue rendered harmless. The spirit of
liberty is the sovereign balm forever)
iejury which our institutions may re
ceive. () i the cont ary, no care that
can be used in the ct nstmetion of out
Government; no division of powers,
| no distribution of checks in its si v rai
| departments, will prove effectual to
.keep us a free people, if this spit it is
suilbred to decay; and decay it will
without constant nurture. To the
neglect of this duty, the best historians
agree in attributing the luin of all the
republics with whose existence and
fill their writings have made us at.
<ju linted. The same causes will ever
produce the same < fleets; and as long
as tfie love of power is a dominant pas
sion of the human bosom, and as long
its the understandings of men can be
warp ‘d and their affections changed
by operation upon their passions and
pi t ju dices, so long will the liberty of
a people depend on their own constant
attention to ifs preservation, ‘file
danger to all well established free
governments arise from the unwilling
ne-s ol the people to believe in its ex
istence, or from the influence of design
ing nv a, diverting their attention from
the quarter whence it approaches, to
i >)urce from which it can never |
‘come. This i? the old trick of those -
who would usurp the government of
[ lilt ir country. In the ntij.e of Demo*
I cracy they speak, warning the people i
against ttie influence of wealth and the
danger of aristocracy. History, an.
Icient and modern, is full of such ex.
i ample. Caesar became the master of
the Ham m people the Senate under
the pretence of supporting the demo
cratic claims of the former against the
aristocracy of the latter; Cromwell,in ;
the character of protector of the liber-;
ties of the people, became the dictator,
of England} and Bolivar possessed;
hirn- li of unlimited power, with the
title of his Country’s Liberator. There
is, on the contrary, no single instance
.on record of an extensive and well
es ablished republic filing changed
Lntjao aristocracy. Tuu (cadencies
of all such Governments intheirde*
cltne is to monarchy; cfyihe antagonist
principle to liberty there, is the spirit
of faction—a spirit which assumes the
character, and, in times of great ex
citement, and impose itself upon the
people as the genuine spirit of freedom
and like the false Christs whose com
ing was foretold by the Saviour, seeks
to, and were it possible would, impose
upon the true -V most faithful disciples
ot liberty. It is in periods like this that
it behooves the people to be most
watchful ot those to whom they have
intrusted power. And although there
is at times much difficulty in distin
guishing the false from the true spirit,
a cairn and dispassionate investigation
will detect the counterfeit, as well by
the character of its opeiations, as the
results that are produced. The true
spirit of liberty, although devoted,•
persevering, bold and uncompromising
in principle, that secured, is mild and!
tolerated and scrupu oui as to the!
means it employs whilst the spirit of
party,assuming to be that of liberty,' \
is harsh, vindictive, and tolerant, and j
totally reckless as t > the character of
the allies which it brings to the ai J of
itscau3e. When the genuine spirit
of liberty animates the body of their
atfiirs, it leads o the excision of every
excrescence which iriay have fastened
itself upon any of the Departments of
the Government, and restores the sys
tem to its pristine health and beauty.

The foregoing remarks relate almost
exclusively to matters connected with!
our domestic concerns. It may be ;
proper, however, that I should g've!
some indications to iny fellow oitiz *ns
of my proposed course of conduct in
the management of our foreign rela
tions. i assure them, therefore, that
it is my intention to use every means
in my power to preserve the friendly
intercourse which now so happily sub
sists with every foreign nation; and
that, although, of course not well in
lormed ns to tile taste of any pending
negotiations with any of them, I see
in the personal diameters of the
Sovereigns, as well as th * mutual in
iciest ot our own and of the Govern
intuits with which our relations are
most intimate, a pleasing guarranty
that the harmony so important t> ‘he
Intele ts ot their euhj :cts, as well as
our citizens, will not he interrupted
by the advancement of any claim or
pretension upon their part to which
our honor would not permit us to yield.
Long the defender of my country’s
rights in the fluid, I trust that my fel
low citizens will not see in my earnest
desire to preserve peace with foreign
i Powers uny indication that their rights
will ever ue sacrificed, or the honor of
the nation tarnished, by any admission
on the part of their Chief Magistrate
unworthy of their former glory.
in our intercourse with our Abori
ginal neighbors, the same liberality
and justice, which muikeJ the course
prescribed to me by two of my illustri
ous predecessor?, when acting under
their direction in the discharge of the
duties ©( Superintendent and Commis
sioner, shall be strictly observed. I
can conceive of no more sublime spec
tacle—none more likely to propitiate
an impartial and common Creator,
than a rigid adherence to the princi
ples of justice on the part of a power
iul nation in its tranaanctions will)
a weaker and uncivilised people,
whom circumstances have placed at
its disposal.
Before concluding fellow citizens, I
must say something to you on the sub
ject of ttie parties at this time existing.
in our country. To me it appears|
perfectly clear, that the interest of the ;
ountry requires that the violence oli
the spirit by which those parlies are at 1
this time governed, must be greatly j
mitigated, if not entirely extinguished,l
or consequences will emue which are j
appalling to be thought of. if parties.

to that of liberty, anti eventually its
inevitable conqueior. />’s have tf
ampler of Republics, where the love
ofcomdry and of liberty, at one time,
were the dominant passions cf the
whole mass ofcitizens. And yet, wit.i
the continuance of the name and
forms of free Government, not ave.--
tige of these qualities remaining in tint
bosom of any one ot its ciiiz n*. It
was a beautiful remark of a distin
guished English writer that “in tho
Roman S mate, Octavius had a party,
and Anthony a party, but the common
wealth had none.” Yet the Senate
continued to meet in the Temple of
Liberty to talk of the sacredness and
beauty of the Commonwealth, and
gaze at the statutes ol the fdder Bru
tus and of the Curtii an and Decii. And ,
the people assembled in the Forum,
not as in the days of Camillas and the
Scipio% to cast their free votes for an
nual Magistrates or pass upon the acts
j of the Senate, but to receive from the
hpftcf# of the leaders of the respective
pactive parties their share of the
spoils, and t > shout f>r dlie, or the oth
er, as those collected in Gaul or E
gypt, and Asia, would fur
nish the largfr dividend. The®spirit
of liberty had fled, and avoiding the a—
bodes of civilized man, had sought
protection in the wilds of Scythia or
Scandinavia; and so, under the ope
ration of the same causes and influen

world, must he deprecated by every
patriot; and every tendency to a state
of tilings likely to produce it imrnedi
jatuiy checked. Such a tendency has
existed—does exist. Always the
! friend of my countrymen, never their
flatterer, A becomes my duty to say to
them from this high place to which
their pa liulily has exalted me, that
there exists in the land a spirit hostile
to their best interest —hostile to liber
ty itselt. I:ia a spirit contracted in
its views, selfish in its object. It looks
to the aggrandizement of a few, even
to tin-interest of the whole. The en
i lire remedy is with the People. Some
thing however, may be etlbcted by
the means which they have placed in
my hands. It is union that we want,
not of a parly fir the sake of a party
hut a union of the whole country for
the .-ake of the whole country— Dr the
whole country —for the defence of its
interest and its honor against foreign
aggression, for the defence of those
principles for which our ancestors so
gloriously contended. As far as it de
pends upon me,it shall be accomplish
ed. All the influence that I possess,
shall be exerted to prevent the forma
tion at least of an Executive party in
the halls of the Legislative body. I
wish for the support of no member of
that ho ly to any measure of mine that
do?s not satisfy his judgment and his
sense of duty to those fiorr. whom ha
holds lits appointment; nor any confi
dence in advance from the People,“but
that naked for by Mr Jeilerson, “to
give firmness and effect to the legal
administration of their aftairs.”
I deem the present occasion suffi
ciently important and solemn to justify
me in expressing to my fellow-citizens
a profound leverence for the Christian
Religion, and a thorough conviction
that sound morals, religious liberty,
and a just 6cn-e of religious responsi
bility, are essentially connected with
ali true and lasting happiness; and to
that good Being who has blessed us by
the gifts of civil and religious freedom,
who watched over and prospered the
labois of our Fathers,and has hitherto
pieierveJ to us institutions far exceed
ing in excellence those of any other
people, let us unite in fervently com
mending every interest of our beloved
country in all future time.
