The history of all republics which have
preceded us bear evidence to the fact,
that the wily and ambitious usually re
sort to such resources to corrupt the pub
lic mind and public Morals previous to
seizing upon the reins of supreme autho
rity ; and if we do not guard ourselves
against such insidious devices, we will
lose; our liberties in the same way, and
hau; nothing but the wreck of a violated
Constitution, and a ruined country to trans
mit as a legacy to our children. Let the
(Government be free from monopolies and
the inllueuce of wealth, just in its admi
nistration, and .couomical in its expendi
tures, liberal in its policy, and free from
encroachments, taking cue of itself, and
leaving the people as much as possible
to the enjoyment of their own pursuits,
and it will insure rs own perpetuity, and
the freedom of its citizens.
Having called your attention to various
interests of the State which presented
themselves to my mind as woithy of your
first consideration, I doubt not that such
as 1 have omitted will be suggested by
your own wisdom. Hoping that you
may bo guided by patriotism in all your
deliberations, and a sincere desire for the
promotion id' the public w elfare, and that
vour laiiois may he crowned with signal
success. I take inv leave of you with
earnest benedictions to Almighty (God for
your happiness individually and eollee-iitt-ly.
