tr» :1“ level with their vassals ;vit c‘oin'bin‘et_l with
every abuse of bad governm'ent; it.allied_‘it-
selfto every vice and degrading passion which

it could tam-2 to base subserviency ; while pro-

fessing Christianity, it concealed its sublime.
yet plain precepts, in an unknown langtiage,

for which it s_ubstituted absurd, inconipreheii-
sible and contradictory dogmas of its own in-
vention. In one particular only, the profotiiid
policy of thissystetn appears to have been
controlled by its rapacity : for tlioughjt ab-
horred experimental scieiice,‘ and its induc-
tions, it was not always opposed to productive
industry, or. to’ improvements in those arts
which administered to, its aggrandizement:
At last even these resources were unequal to
the dettiands of extortion. The wolfblegan to
prey upon its vitals, and after various scintil-
lations of reviving intelligenceamong the peo-
ple,the reforination unclosed the eyes ofiiian-
kind. No event since the promulgation of
christianity, which first announced the e_qtial
rights and duties of men, has produced such
important conseqtiences as the explosion of
Pontifical inipostures. It has at length hu-
inanizerl war atid extinguished the faggot of
superstition. Such however was the mental

debasemeiit of that period, and so interwoven

was this system, with‘ all the abuses of govern-

ment, that the benefits it has hitherto produ-
cedin Europe, bear but a very small propor-

tion to those which I trust are hereafter to be
experienced from its benign operation. It

has however occasioned great tneliorations in

thecotiditirinttftnankind. Byexposiiigfrauds
which had long remained unsuspected, it fur-

nished topics for mental reflectioti, and accus-

tomed meii to reason independently ofschools

and of mere human authority. If the free-

dom ofopiiiion which itencouraged,frequent-

ly diffused errors, reason tvas invigorated by

the exercises which corrected them; if the

feudal system established privileged orders of
unequal force,tlie most oppressed members of
these coiifederacies formed new combina-

tions" to defeat or neutralize their rigor. By

such alliances, a_ptiblic opinion and rules of.
public law were introdticed,w_liich being foun-

ded on contracts, accustomed communities to
discuss questions of mutual concern, on terms
of equality : and though their decisions were
frequently illiberal and selfish in respect to
others, there were approximations towards
justice and wisdom between the parties. If
collisions‘ of interest or passion occasioned

wars, desolating conquests were commonly
prevented by employing new energies, which
were unexpected by the adherents of ancient
systems. LI‘be rapid rise atid prosperity of
communities which patronized new discove-
ries and encouraged public industry, when
compared with the silent decay of others that
neglected these expedients, originated new
theories of ptiblic economy, which awakened

. part of Europe to the sleep of ages. At length

true science, confiding in God, raised her eyes
to heaven, and explored nature along the
paths of experience. It is pleasing to reflect
on these triumphs ofhumanity,many ofwhich
were achieved in the country of Alfred, the
native soil of our liberty and most valuable in-.
stitutions, and where free and liberal princi-
ples are still ardently cherished by the people.
However incredulous other nations may be,
we all feel and know that matiy interesting
problems have been here first solved, in favor
of mankind, ,by the experience ofalmost two
centuries. VVe have diffused popular rights
over an extensive cotintry, accompanied with
internal tranquility, order, religion and rapid
improvement. ‘Ne have practically dettion-
strated that a wilderness is susceptible of mi-
rnite divisions, distributions and settleinents,
by easy, plain and permanent rules, which
prevent controversies, augment the value of
land, and adapt it to the use of civilized man,
in modes consistent with the security of those
uneqtial accumulations which are produced
by the ever varying activity and enterprize of
individuals. Vile have definitely accotiiplish-
ed this most important of all concerns, in re-
gard ' to the independence and rcptiblican e-
qualitypf the people, and in connexion with
it, have practically discovered, for the first
time, thathereditary ranks, privileges and or-
ders, the feodal system of descants, entail-
ments, tythes and services are at least useless
and btirthensonie incuinbrances tipon society.
\Vhile the natural affection of men for their
posterity, is here cherished, and the mild in-
fliience of paternal authority secured, by per-
mitting alicnations bywill, inconvenient ac-
cumulations ofreal propertyin‘ particular fam-
ilies have been prevented, by rendering lands
liable [or the payment of debts, and by an e-
qual distribution of intestate estates to sons
and daughters. By these means, we have en-
couraged the augmentation, by promoting the
circulation of" all property, and at the same
time,~have affected just and natural equaliza-
tioiis ; thereby superceding the policy which
dictated the periodical restorations prescribed
by the Jewish Lawgiver, avoiding also the
dangers and factions which attended the par-
tial agrarian regulations of ancient Rome, to-
gether with the stagnations, opprcssiotis and
irritnoralities incid_ent to feodal pcrpetuities.
While we avail ourselves, to every useful ex-
te t, of the benefits arising from" acts ofincor-
pollation, we iniderstand the value and impor-
taiice of public" and private credit. All the
people are accustomed to frequent and tran-
quil consultations respecting their mutual
rights_aiid interests. Elections are grave and
silent assemblies, the forms of which are pre-
scribedby law. The education of children
is maintained by a system, in which the poor
and the rich share equal advantages. Con-
scienffe is_wholly unrestrained by acts of pow-
er. Submission to Hicrarchal authority, is
entirely voluntary. The Clergy ‘are united
with the people oftheir respective denoiirina-
tions, are supported by their free contribu-
tions, and possess no influence which is not
derived from their eloquence or their virtues.
T-he public defence is committed to the brave-
.ry and patriotism of the people, who are sys-
-teiriatically organized, armed and instructed
‘in the dutiesthey are to perform. We know
that the character of social man is formed by
his habits, and that habits of which reason has
perceived the utility, are the most inflexible
iaws. Hence we have inferred, that there ex-
ists no danger of popular seductions or other
systems of government, and that public liber-
ty will remain equally permanent and co-ex-
tensive with public virtue and intelligence,

' which is.the only duration allotted by God, to

human Institutions.
This summary review ofthe varieties unde
5}'_l‘llCl'l society has appeared in different na_.

 

tions, and d'uriug iiiany ages, will not, Il'io'pe,
be thottglifunsuitable at this time, when a
most active and extensive fertnentation ofo-
pihioiis ,r'e's'pe'ctiiig' ‘principles of vgovernnient,
has arisen‘ among mankind. From Spain to
Siberia,’ ‘and fr'oni Africa to the polar circle ;
frotn the lofty plains of Me'xico,«to the barren
rocks of Cape Horn, an intellectital conflict
is now raging, and in extensive regions it is
accompanied with sanguiriary and desolating
combats of ‘military force. A uniform char-
acter distinguishes all these contentions‘.-—
They all arise from different theories of free
governments, opposed to theqinvariable max-
ims of despotism. One ‘party is contending
that ‘governments derive their just powers
from "the consent of the governed,’ and that
forms may be varied by them so as most ef;
fectually to secure ‘ life, liberty and happiness’
to the people. The other party is ‘ass_'erting
an absolute, irrevocable right to perpetuate con-
trol over all the instititlions of society, thereby
rendering the labor,ingennityand intelligence
ofiitinibers subservient thro’ all future time,
to the power, luxury and aggrandiz’ement of
a few,who claim a privilege of‘ reaping where
they have not sown, and gathering where they
have not strawed.’ ‘

The duration and calamities which may re-
sult from these contentions, cannot be fore-
seen, or even rendered probable by conjecture.
On the popular side is ati immense majority
of mankind, btit its operative and moral force
is greatly weakened by diversities of language,
national prejudices, superstition, ignorance,in-
ternal factions atid vicious habits, which ap-
parently render any tiiiitcd concert oforgani-
zed action impracticable. On the other side,
no close atid permanent combinations canex-
ist among the opposing governuients, discon-
nected as they are, by’al| the repelling causes
which exist among the people, with addition-
al divcrsities, arising from the unequal influ-
ence of the popular priticiples and the various
gradations of civilization, science, arts and in-
ditstry with which they are imbued: VVe must
therefore wait the disclosures of time, before
it can be known wliefher a great portion of
this globe is again to revert to barbaristn, un-
der the sway of the Alarics’ and Attilas’ of
modern titnes, or whether popular rights with
the securities which they afford to life, liberty
and property, are to obtain new and splendid
confirmations. ’ '

- The ordinary duties of the Legislature, in

organizing the government ofthe state, will

demand a primary attention ; but 1 cannot

think it useless to suggest that final decisions

could not be accomplished, for want of time,

on a number of proposition, which were sub-

mitted to the consideration ofthe last General

Assembly.‘ As those propositions related to

interests in which the laborious, enterprising

and junior members of the community are di-

rectly concerned ; as I am persuaded that

their utility will daily become tnore apparent,

by accumulations of our population, advances
in useful arts and intertial commerce, and as
the beauty and permanency of our political

fabric will always depend oti the solidity ofits
foundation, I feel an entire confidence that if
you are convinced of their expediency they

will receive your warm support and efficient
patronage. I consider the law of the last ses-
siati, authorising limited partnerships, as high-
ly valuable, but to extend and secure the ad-
vantages which it is adapted to produce, it is
necessary to prevent partial assignments of
property intended to defeat the claims of bone

fide creditors. This practice has been intro-
duced by a recent habit of considering the en-
dorsers of accommodation notes as entitled to
honorary preference over the creditors. I can
perceive no foundation in reason or injustice
why such preferences should be allowed. ‘All
loans are voluntary, and can be secured by
specific liens at the time they are made, with
which the parties ought to reuiaiii satisfied;
in any event they never ought to secure par-
tial and unequal advatitages above other and
frequently more meritorious creditors. I also
deetn it proper andnecessary, that the wages
of labor and the direct relations between ten-
ants and land own_ers, mechanics and the im-
provers of real property, and between all per-
sons and the agents and factors they employ,
should be protected against secret assignments
and attachments to defeat their rights ; and I
have no doubt that this may be done, without
introducing new and dangerous.priiiciples,and
with advantage to every other interest. Iftlic
details of the necessary bills, cannot be ma-
tured during the period of our customary ses-
sions, the principles might probably be discus-
sed and settled by resolutions, which might be
referred to a. wise and impartial committee,
with directions to digest the necessary bills, to
be reported for the consideration of the Leg-
islature, at ati ensuing session.

On the subject of an excise upon ardent
spirits,I respectfully suggest that it has been
represented tome, from a quarter which is en-
titled to much consideration, that it would
probably render the measure more acceptable
to our constituents ifthe proceeds ofthe pro-
posed excise should be distributed to the sev-
eral towns, to be applied by the Selectmen to-
wards the support of their poor. ‘ I perceive
no objections against such an appropriation,
as the distributions might be easily made, ac-
cording to any rule which the General As-
sembly might see fit to establish.

I hoped to have been able, at "this time, to
recommend a machine for preparing flax, for
domestic manufacture and internal commerce.
Several inventions for this purpose have been
communicated to the public, but I cannot
learn that any one has been actually estab-
lislied and used on a large scale, which Icon-
sider as the only test of utility which is deser-
ving of entire confidence. l’Vith a protection
against foreign competition equal to that which
is now afforded to cotton fabrics, I have no
doubt that maiiiifactories of flax and hemp for
all common uses, would be immediately es-
taolished, creating thereby a dciiiand for the
raw material, highly advantageous to the
country. It is to be hoped that something ef-
fectual on this Subject will be accomplished
by the next Congress, until which time the ef-
forts of the manufacturers will be languid.——
In the mean tiine,I shall however consider it
my duty to prosecute all proper inquiries.

Ati invention has been introduced into some
ofthe states, for exacting useful labour from
convicts confined in penitentiaries; and Isab-
Init to your consideration, whether it is ntit
expedient, to authorize one ofa similar kind
to be erected, With a view of ditninishing the
expences of New-Gate Prison.

The present is an eventful period, and we,
or our children, may be summoned to arduous
exertions; but while the career of other na-

tions is . surrounded with innumerable difi’icul-

ties und dangers, arisingflfroui ivgarsiatieé oi‘ ’

vices, of former ages, the paths of 9ur.(luties
are, in my opinion, plain and .direct.,‘ ' ,\Vhile
we cautiously avoid_ romantic crusades, and
abstain from endeavors to"introdii‘ce Ofl_l_' prin-
ciples where theywould excite contentions ;‘
while confining our external operations to the
defence of ‘authorized commerce, we should
carefully invigorate. our internal establish-
ments, as they relate to our security, resour-
ces and improvements. , By avoiding collis-'
ions among ourselves, and especially faction,
which has often been ‘the destroying angel of
Republics’ we shall demonstrate to the world,
the pacific and innoeeiittendency of our in-
stitutions, disarm its jealousy and accomplish
more by a mild example of moral dignity,than
we could effect by any active interference.-
We may exhibit to the world the means, by
which equal and mild laws will tame tj r.inn'y
itself, and that he whose frown lately awed
the nations, might have found here, that his
mischievous propensities could be restrained
by an unarmed Magistrate, while the faculties
of his powerful mind were left unrestrained
in the exercise ofany useful or innocent avo-
cations. Such reflections ought not however
to excite any feelings of arrogant confidence
in our own security, while ‘we reflect on the
miseries, which great Nations are now suffer-
ing, froin the capricious exercise of arbitrary
power. We must latiient the degradation of
human nature itself, while we see a Bourbon
claiming descent from Henry the fourth, un-
instructed by adversity, exercising enormous
power in oppressing the ‘generous Franks,
while he patronizes the mean superstitions of
Monks ;-——while we see the titular successor of
'I‘rajan unaffected by what has been perform-
ed by a recent people, on the banks of the
Mississippi, permitting the Danube to remain
closed, by the avowed foes of civilization and
humanity, and at the sattie time, wasting by
barbarous extortious, the country which pi'o-
duced Scipio and Fabricius ;—-and especially
while the immediate descendant of Peter the
Great, is obscuring his own character, by suf-
fering a gallant race to be extirpated, who are
professors ofthe religion of his own people, of
which he was lately an illustrious patroii,wliile
by merely extending propection to the oppres-
sed, the Enxine and the Mediterranean would
becotne united in friendship as they are by
nature, immense regions and magnificent riv-
ers be presented to the efforts of civilization
arts and industry, and the gratitude of happy
millions, be secured by a fame as brilliant and
imtiiortal, as that which crowned the ucliiei-
ments of the iiiodern Hercules. ‘

Those who have the patience to give the
Governor’s Message a thorough perusal, will
find it to contain much interesting matter.

lislied next week. ‘

VVe have been requested, by an experienced
farmer, to state that pieces of clutli dipped in
sulpher and grease, and placed upon poles,
abotlt every teti or twelve rods through a piece
of-corn, will effectually secure it from the rav-
ages of crows. Our informant has tried this
method 7 years, during which time he says
not asingle hill ofhiscorn has been destroyed.

, It was reported at St. Jago,Cuba, April Q9.d,
that two piratical schrs. had captured and sunk
offtliat place an American brig, (supposed to
be the Hyperion, botind to Marseilles) and a
French brig bound to Martinico. It was also
said, that they had murdered the crews.

The brig Mary, Dtinwell, from Matanzas
April 20th, has arrived at Newport. The cap-
tain states, that a few days previous to his
sailing, a pirate schr. was chased in shore by
two U. S. schrs. and getting under land in the
night, they lost sight of her ; two orthree bar-
ges cruiziiig frotn Havana along the coast, at
the same time, intercepted the pirate, and af-
ter an action of 15 minutes, took the schr.;
killed 7 men, who were seen lying on the
beach next day, and carried her to Key West.
The schr. mounted 4 guns.--Jlferc. fldv.

. LATEST FROM EUROPE.

By arrivals at New-York on Sunday, Lon-
don papers to the 6th tilt. have been received.

The Sun, ofthe 4th, states, as the last ofii-
cial news from Paris, that in consequence of
intelligence from the frontiers of Spain, it had
been resolved in the French Cabinet, to make
an increase to the army of from 40 to 60,000.

The Traveller, of the 3d, states that an ex-
press had just ar. frotn Paris, with the papers
of the szd. . A letter had been received by the
French Government written by the King of
Spain,and countersigned by Sir Wni.A’Court,
requesting France to suspend any hostile
movement. It was reported at Boulogne,
that a telegraphic notice had communicated
theintelligence that the differences between
France and Spain had been amicably settled.
Mr. Sharp ar. in the express-boat with dis-
patches. He stated that he had important
dispatches for Mr. Canning, and went on with
all possible speed.

' Sun-Ofllce, London, April 4.—W'e stated
in a Second Edition ofthe SUN of Wednes-
day last, that the FRENCH DECLARATION OF
VVAR had been received by our Governtneiit.
Yesterday was the day appointed for its dis-
cussion, with our Foreign Minister and the
French Ambassador; and we can state from
authority that his Excellency and Mr. Can-
ning were closeted for two hours at Glouces-
ter Lodge yesterday,on this important subject.

VVe cati also state, that the French Gov-
ernment are exceedingly alarmed lest priva-
teering should be allowed by the British gov-
ernment, and by the probability that_our Sea-
men will volunteer in great numbers into that
part ofthe Spanish service. These measures
we are well assured, the French Government
is most anxious to prevent; and urgent repre-
sentations have been made on the subject to
the British Cabinet. '

There is not one word of truth in the re-
ports respecting-tlie letter said to have been ad-
dressed by the King of Spain to the French
Government, and countersigned by Sir ‘Vil-
liam A’Court; for we positively know that the
British Cabinet has no such information.

The Courier, ofthe 6th,ridictiles the article
from the Stin, call them untrue, and declare
that no~declaratio'n of war had been drawn up
