EVV or none of the Snuffs in ordinary use,
unite those advantages as an elegant sternu-
tatory, which Tobacco, combined with other in-
gredients, is capable of producing. __The common
Scotch snuff is not only tlestitttteiof fine flavor
but is universally allowed to be injurious to the
head and stomach, and sooner or later affects the
transparenc-_v and color of the skin. The coarse
black snuffs, instead of clearing and stimulating
the olfactory nerves, serve but to obstruct and
deaden them : and in process of time, by stop-
ping the passages, has an evident effect upon the
speech. The Volatile ./Ironzatic Smt_(7"will, by ex-
perience, be found not liable to these objections-—
-its flavor fragrant and delightful--the effect
pleasing anti salutary-—-it opens and purges the
l1ead—-sensibly stimtilates the spirits, and re-
moves that drowsiness which on some occasions
will prevail in spite of our utmost efforts to baflie
it. By repeated experiments, it is known to be of
essential service-to those who are troubled with
long,dull, nervous head-aches, and will be found
far superior for this purpose to the Cephalic snuff.
In cases of catarrh or what is commonly called :1
cold in the head, a pinch or two taken at night
on going to bed will, by moistening the mucus,
effectually remove all obstructions before morn-
ing. All those troubled with the hypochondriu
or vapoiisywill find in this chemical preparation a
complete an\tidote. All sedentaryand studious
persons of eitlfin sex will find by its occasional
use, acheap an" cheering relief from that hissi-
tude which invat'ably accompanies a long sitting
or much reat1in_ . This snuff is well stopt in a
handsome square bottle made expressly for the
purpose, and which will be found to unite all the
advantages of a snuff Box.

‘ The articles are certainly innocent in their
qualities. Those liable to nervous and other
head-aches well know that fits ofthese distressing ‘
affections most commonly subside on a spontan-
eous sneezing towards night, and if this reliefcan
be expedited by a sternutatory, Ishould give the
preference to your snuff over that of powdered to-

ingredients of which are unknown to us. With
this view Ihave used your composition myself

; .G_entlcnz‘c-n aftlze House of Rejzrcsentatives,
I am happy to congratulate you on‘ the return
of this joyful anniversary, which again convenes
the councils of this free republic. During the .
past year, we have enjoyed general health and a
season of unusual fertility ; the people are indus.
ttious, frugal and tranquil: the dignity of agri-
cultural pursuits is advancing ; improvementsin
the arts are gradually eittending, and both are de-
riving advantages from applications ofscience and
ltarning to general use ; all the severe evils we
suffer have arisen from an nnskillful and improv-
ident disregard ofthose social laws, by which the
moral government of the world invariably di-
rt-cted; still we remain a highly favoured com-
munity, and the boumies we are receiving, de-
mand united asperations of devout gratitude, to
the bencficicnt Disposcr of all events.
In addition to the ordinary business of theses-
sion. much of your attention will probably be di-
rected to a res ision and compilation of the Statute
Laws of this State. I do not doubt your disposi-
tion to proceed in this most important work, with
the greatest circumspection; preserving in the
new code, all those regtllatiomi upon which the
property of individuals, and the order of society
essentially depend, incorporating all those amend-
ments which have obtained the sanction of experi-
ence, .and~avoiding_ every unnecessary change of
phraseology, which may lead to new litigations,
upon points which have been deliberately settled.
The laws of Connecgicttt, are among the most
wise memorials of republican government now ex-
isting among mankind; Under their benign pro-
tection, our ancestors were, for ages, secure and
happy: nor can picty.or patriotism breathe to
I-Ieaven, a more affectionate desire, than that they
may remain unimpaired for the benefit. of poster-
ily, while our hills exist, and while our rivers
dispense fertility to the beautiful plains which sur-
round us.
The act of the last session requiring the Brig-
ade of Cavalry to be reduced to four Regiments,
and to be (lIsS0lvt:(l, after an incorporation with
the Brigutlcs oflnfantty, has been executed. The
first and third regiments of Cavalry, have been
annexed to the first Brigade of Infantry ; the se-
cond to the fifth Brigade, and the fourth to the
sixth Brigade.
In pursuance of the same Act, the Rifle regi-
ments have been dissolved; and the companies
annexed to the contiguous regiments of Infantry,
except the eighth company, which has been dis-
solved, at its own request. Although by this ar-
rangement, the regiments have been rendered
more unequal than was desirable, yet after consul-
tation, I deemed it the most conductive to the in-
tercsls of the militia, and to the convenience of
the companies. of any which could be devised.
By an Act of Congress, passed on the 12th day
{of May, 1820, the system of discipline and field
‘exercise, compiled by Major General Scott, and
ordered to be observed in the army of the United
States, by the different corps of Infantry, Artille-
ry and Rrflemen, has been prescribed as the rule
ofefsercise and discipline, for the Militiathrough-
out the United States, and so much of the Act of
May 8th 1792, as established the system of the
Baron tle Steuben, has been repealed. The same
measure has also been confirmed by an Act of
Congress passed during the ‘last session, on the
2d of March 1821. The rules of exercise for the
lnluntiy, have been received, but I cannot learn
that any system for the exercise of the Artillery
or Riflcmen. has yet been compiled. In devising
the means of promulgating the new rystcm, for
the government of the Militia of this State, you
till! doubtless consider, whether a revision ofthe
Act ofthe last session, is not rendered expedient,
by some ofits provisions. The Rifle companies
have been trained and equipped at a considerable
expence : their exercise is essentially different
from that ofthe Infantry, with which they are now
incorporated, and if active service should be re-
quiied, they would be found an efficient corps,
well adapted to the defence of the State.
In connexion with this subject, you are reques-
ted to consider the present state of the corps of
Horse Artillery, whose equipments have never
been completed, and which may now be obtained
at much less expense than heretofore. In active
service, they would be found a very efficient body
of men, and with their co-operation, our present
organization will be as complete, and, as far as my
information extends, as satisfactory to those who
perform service, as any which can be devised. I
have no doubt that you will constantly bear in
mind, that the public defence is almost exclusive-
ly committed to the Militia and that you will, as
far as is found practicable, reconcile symmetry,
method and utility, with their convenience, there-
by diminishing the unavoidable burdens and ex-
penses imposed upon the military department.
In several of the neighbouring States, public at-
tention has been highly excited, to their laws for
supporting paupers. It may therefore become in-
teresting to observe what new regulations they
adopt, not only to enable us to a avail ourselves of
the lights afforded by their experience, but also
for the protection of our Towns, against being
harrassed by a vagrant population. No defects in
our system have been suggested to mes 001' ll3V<‘-

Several of the States have, for some time, been 5 _ _

Allthe alterations naval preparations,
wltsicls have hitherto been made, have; 1 b3ll€.V5r 936 C1059» 0f ‘M 133* W31‘:
tended to increase the rigour of punishments. I
have no doubt that the substitution of restraint
and labour, for the cruel and sanguinary inflic-
tions of the ancient code, has been equally wise
and huinane,‘ and that the disappointments which
have been experienced, have been occasioned by
defective arrangements. The scale of human en-
joyments rises from,—-that degree of rest and sug.
tinance which is barely sufficient to support life,
to that which affords the means of the highest in-
nocentgratifications, both physical and mental:
and in the efforts ofmen‘ to elevatetheir cryidition
in this scale, are to be found, irldependcncof reli-
gious sentiments, which originate in II higher
source, the cxcitements to all human improve-
ments, incliiding all the motives which stimulate
industry, and the izauses of every attainment in
physical and moral excellence. The propensities
and habits which dispose men to the commission
of crimes, are violent passions, intempcrance, and
dishonesty. Convicts are commonly men of vig-
erous--‘ health, middle age, and frequently, they
are neither deficient in intelligence, not educa-
tion. The conduct of the mostdepraved inch, is
influenced by a misdirected desire of happiness,
but their reason being perverted, they seek to ob-
tain good, by selfish gratifications, and the indul-
gence of unbridled passions. It is the object of
penitentiary Establisliments, to protect society a-
gainst injuries, to restrain the unprinciplcd, by
the fear of loosing the enjoyments which they
possess, and by actual dept-ivations, to convince
offenders, that‘the way of the trahsgressor is
hard.’ , _
The establishment of New-Gate Prison, ha‘:
been founded on these principles. I have no doubt
that its influence has been salutary in preventing
crimes, and as far as my knowledge extends, no
wish exists, that recourse should be bad to the
ancient modes of punishment. All are satisfied
that the lives, property and tranquility of peacea-
ble and honest citizens, must be absolutely pre-
served from violation‘; and while it is acknowl-
edged that criminals liave rights, which ought to
be conscientiously respected, and that their per-
sons should be protected against arbitriary res-
traints, pain and wretchednes, it is justly expect-
ed that the public expence should be as limited, as
may be found compatible with these principles.
The only defect in our system, with which’!
am acquainted, is the want of arrangements for
giving full effect to the wise principles of the Act
of May 1805. This can only be accomplished,
by enclosing a greater space, and by increasing
the number of workshops ; thereby enabling the
Overseers to diversify the labor of the convicts
and to render it more productive, and by adapt-
ing thc ltstraints to the different habits and de-
partment of the offenders, to present to their
minds adequate motives to industry and reforma-
tion. _
The president of the United States, has, on his
second inauguration, presented to the people, an
interesting view of the obligations of the govern-
ment, ofthe dutiesofgood citizens, and ofthe ac»
tual condition of this great Country, with which I
fully accord. By the late treaty with Spain, our
limits have on all sides, becomejadjustcd. extend-
ing to the lakes, the ocean and the forest, and em-
bracing a great proportion of the territory in all
the temperate climates of North America. In ad-
dition to the value of Florida. as a conneaing linlr.
in the chain of our Union with the westei n States,
and to the obvious utility of its harbours and tim-
ber for maritime purposes, I have but little doubt
that the intrinsic value of the soil itself is much
more considerable than has sometimes been im-
agined, as being more salubrious, capable of sup-
porting a greater population,aIid adapted to modes
of culture, different from any which have-hitherto
bee nlintroduced in the alluvial territory before ac-
quired. In the possession of an ample domain,-
suflicient for remote generations, in the patriotic-
devotion ofthe people, and especially in their pre-
sent union, under the free, mild and uniform insti-
tutions which have been reared by their care, the
fondest anticipation: of the founders of the Revo-
lution, have at length been realized, and they are
now making their last appealsto the present age,
have performed their duties. To the virtue, intel-
ligence and bravery of the people, and to the wis-
dom, energy and enlightened counsels of those
who may conduct their government ; are now en-
trusted the most important concerns which were
ever committed to men. Both the friends and
the enemies of public liberty. throughout the
world, are now critically observing our conduct,
and theirs will be regulated, not by our pro-
fessions, but by the success, or failure of the ex-
periment we are now making. If it is found in
practice, that on the just performance of his du-
ties, every man can here maintain in peace and
tranquility, the same enjoyment of his rights, ac-
quired under the faith of government and the
sanction of stable laws, then our country will soon
attain all that moral and intellectual dignity, of
which human‘ nature is susceptible, and our ex-
ample will be imitated by other Nations ;—but if,
by prostrating the powers of government, by the
prevalence of internal factions, or more probably,
by the dissentions occasioned by the counteraction
of local jurisdictions, we become a divided people,
then the tears of our deluded countrymen, and the
groans of miserable and enslaved nations, will
hereafter accumulate perpetual reproaches on
that age, which will have betrayed the rights of
mankind.
