Unpleasant mul as collisions oi y soriietifnes be, BcTtTPTTfIr ih< authorities or the citi 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. But the reign of an intolerant spirit of party amongst a free people, seldom ; Oils to result in a dangerous accesion to tne Executive power introduc'd, rmti wtfltrfWTCG” amt 3 unusual proles-! siuns of devotion to democracy. 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. iq a republic are necessary to secure a degree of vigilance sufficient to keep the public functionaries within the bounds of law a id duty* t that point their usefulness ends. Beyond that, (Publishers and I\ r/roniiKTOßs.

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 ces, it will fly from our Capitoi and our Drums. A calamity sj awful, n t ■ •.-.-J’ Irn >iy. !■•< ) . JJL— 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. Fellow-citizens: fiei ig fully invest ed with that high office to which the partiality of rrv countrymen has call ed me, l now t;-ke an affectionate l**ave cf you. You will bear with you to your homes the remembrance of the pledge 1 have this day given to dis charge nil the high dulL of my exalted station, according to the best of my üb.lity; and I shall enter upon their
