SPEECH OF CARNOT.
[translation.]
Difcourfe pronounced by Citizen Carnot , upon
the motion relative to Hereditary Govern
ment.
TRIBUNATE.
Extraordinary Sitting ,
11 th hi ore a l — 12 th year.
Citizen Tribunes !
AMONG the orators who have preceded
me and who have all fupported the motion of
order of our colleague Curee, feveral have an
ticipated the objections which might be railed
againd it, and they have anfwered them with
as much talent as amenity : they have given
examples of moderation which I fliall endea
vour to im t-te in making observations which
apparently have efcrpecl them. And as to
thofe, who, tccaufc l combat their advice,
might attribut, e to me pcrional motives un
worthy the character of a man entirely de
voted to his country, l deliver to them, as the
only anfwer, the fcrupulous examination of
my political conduft fince the commencement
of the revolution, as well as that of my pri
vate life.
I am far from attenuating the praifes given
to the Fird Conful: had we to thank Bona
parte for nothing but the civil code, his name
would merit to pals down to poderity. But
whatever fervices a citizen may iiave render
ed his country, there are limits which honor
as well as realon impofe upon national grati
tude. If a citizen has redore d public liberty,
if he has effected the fufety of the country,
would it be a recompence to offer to him the
lacrifice of that very liberty ? Would it not
be annihilating his own work, in making tin t
country h s particular patrimony ?
The moment the propofition was made to
the French nation-to voce on the quedion for
the Conful ate far life, every one could ta lily
perceive that tl.ere exided after views and an
ulterior end.
Indeed we beheld a rapid fucceffion of a
crowd of inditutions evidently monarchical:
but in every indance endeavours were made
to re-affurc the minds that were unealy about
the fate of liberty, by declaring that thele in
ditutions were made with the view of procur
ing it the highed poffible protection !
This day we difeover in a politive manner
the final end of fo many preliminary meafui cs :
we are required to vote upon the formal pro
pofition to re-edâblilh the monarchicaliyltem,
and to confer the imperial and hereditary dig
nity upon the Fird Conful !
Formerly I voted againd the Confulate for
life; I (hall,,now vote in the fame .manner
againd the re*edabli(hment of monarchy, per
fiuaded that my office of Tribune obliges me
to do fo ; 'but I (hall do it with the neceffary
precaution not to re-awake party fpirit ; it
lhall be done without perfonality, without any
other paflion than that for the public good; in
remaining always in conformity with rnyfelf
in the defence of the popular caufe.
I invariably fubmit.ted to exiding laws even
at times when they difpleafed me mod : more
than once have I fallen a victim to them, and I
'hall not follow a different courfethis day. I
declare therefore beforehand th»t, whild I
combat the propofition in quedion, from the
moment a new order of tilings is edablilhed
and it has received the affent of the mafs of
the citizens, I fliall be the fird to conform to,
it in all my afti'ons—to (how to the fupreme
authority every mark of deference which the
conditutional hierarchy (hall require. May
every member of this great fociety emit a vow
as (incere and didinguiflied !
I fliall not defcant on the preference which,
in general, fuch or fuch a government may
merit ; we have volumes without number on
that fubjeft. I fliall confine myielf, in a few
words, and in terms the molt (impie, to the
examination of the paiticular cai'e in which
circumdances have placed us.
All the arguments hitherto advanced on the
fubjeft of re-edablifhing monarchy in France
are, that without it there can be no means to
infure dability of government and public
tranquillity, to ei'eape intelLinc troubles, to
unite againd external enemies ; that a repub
lican form of government had been tried in
vain in every poflible manner ; that from all
thofe efforts bad refulted nothing but anarchy;
a revolution prolonged or incelfantly renewed,
a perpetual fear of new diforders, and, conlè
quently, a univerfal defire to fee the ancient
hereditary government rc-edablifhed.
To
this an anfwer mud be given.
I thall obferve, therefore, that a govern
ment placed in one man is no pledge for da
bility and tranquillity. The Roman Empire
did not lad longer than that of the Roman
Republic. In the former, the interior trou
bles were greater, the crimes mo e multiplied :
the republican fiercenefs, heroilin, and manly
virtues, were there replaced by pi idethe mod
ridiculous, by adulation the mod vile, by cu
pidity the mod unbridled, and by carelefsnefs
tiie mod dedruCtive to the national proiperity.
How have tiie evils been remedied by the
throne being hereditary ? Has it not been re
gai ded in faft as the legitimate inheritance of
the houfc of Augultus ? Has Domitian not
been the fon of Vefpafius, Caligula the fon of
Germanicus, Commodius the fon of Marc Au
rele ?
In France, the lan dynady has indeed laded
during eight centuries, but have the people
been the lets tormented ? How many intedine
diforders? How many external wars for pre
tendons, rights of fucceffion, the reluit of the
alliances of that dynady with foreign powers !
From the moment a whole .nation efpoufes the
particular interedsof one family, it is obliged
to encounter a multitude of events which,
without that, would to the nation be perfectly
indifferent.
We could not edablifh among 11S a republi
can regime, though it has been tried under di
vers forms more or lefs democratic: bgt we
mud ohferv.e that, of all the conditutionswhh h
fucceflively have been tried without fueccl's
there was none but what w as the offspring of
factions and the work of circumdances, as im
perious as fugitive : hence all were vicious.—
But fince the 18th Brumaire we find an epotha,
the only one perhaps in the annals of the world,
to meditate, dickered againit alarms; in order
to found the liberty of the nation upon a folid
bads, avowed by experience and by reafon.—
After the peace of Amiens, Bonaparte could
choofe either a republican or a monarchical
A Item ; he might have done what he thought
proper, without encountering the leak oj po
(ition. 'Flie depolite of libeity was confided
to his hands ; he had fworn to defend it. By
fulfilling his promife he would have accom
pli ffied the expectation of the nation who judg
ed him to be the only one tapai le of folv-ng
the great problem of public liberty in exten
sive dates; lie had covered himfelf with in
comparable glory. Indead of performing this
greac work, what are we doing to-d:y ? It is
propofed to give him an abfolute and heredi
tary property of a power, ofwhich he had re
ceived but the adminidration.
It is true that, antecedent to the 18th Bru
maire, the date was falling ii.to diffolution,
and that abfolute power dragged it from the
borders ofthe abyis: but what are we to infer
from that ? What all the world knows ; that
political bodies are lubjeft to maladies which
can be cured but by violent means ; that a mo
mentary dictatorship is lbmetimes rcquilite to
lave liberty. The Romans, who were lb jea
lous of it, were however fenfible of the necef
lity or that lupreme power at intervals,
J u ,
becaule a violent remedy has laved a lick per
son, are we to adtninider to him eveiy day a
violent remedy ? Fabius, Cincinnatus, Cain.d
1 '- 13 , have each fucceflively faved the koman
liberty by abfolute power ; but it was by drip
ping theml'elves of that power as foon a they
eould ; by a retention of the power they would
have dedroyed liberty. Cæfar was the f rft
who wanted to retain it, and he fell a viCtun
to it ; but liberty was annihilated for ever.—
Thus all that has been faicl to this day upon
ablohite pow'er, proves only the neeeflity of a
momentary diftaforfliip in the crifis of a date,
but not of a permanent and immoveable povA
er.
It is not by the nature of the govenrment
that the great republics fail in dability ; it is
becaufe they are unprovided for tempeds ; it
is invariably the exaltation that prefides at
their edabliihment. Ï here is but one that ef
fected the work of organifed philolophy dur
ing the calm, and that republic fubfids full of
wfifdom and vigour : This phenomenon is offer -
ed by the United States of America, whofe prof
perity daily increajes to the aßonifliment of all
other nations. Thus it was referved to the new
world to convince the old that men can peaceably
fiibfiß under the regime of liberty and equality.
Yes, I dare to lay down the principle that,
whild we can edablifh a new order of things,
without any fear from the influence of factions,
as the firjt conful was able to do, efpecially af
ter the peace at Amiens, and as he dill can do,
it is lefs difficult to form a republic without
anarchy, than to ereCt a monarchy without def.
potifm. For how can we conceive a limita
tion without illulion, in a government of
which the chief has all the executive power
in his hands, and all the places and offices to

bellow ? They have fpoken of inllitutions
which are laid to be proper to produce that ef
fect : but before the re-eftablilhment of mo
narchy was propofed, fhould we not have been
previoufly allured, and have Ihewn to thofe
Jjaveto vote upon the queftion, that Inch
' ho
: tirions are in the order of pollibilities ?
flit
that they are not of thofe metaphylical attrac
tions which are incelfantly approaching the
contrary fyftem ? Hitherto nothing has been,
invented to temper the fupreme power but
what are called the intermediate or privileged
bodies. Is it then a new nobility that they
mean when they fpcak of inllitutions ? but is
not the remedy worfc than the evil? for the
abfolute power deprives us but of liberty,
wliillt the inllitution of privileged orders takes
away both liberty and equality ; and if at firft
the great dignities are only peribnal, it is well
known that they always finilh as the grand
tiefs formerly, by becoming hereditary.
Tothefe general principles, I will add fome
particular obfervations. Let us fuppofe that
all Fienchmen will give their aflent to the
snealure propofed ; would it be a proof of their
free will ? What relults from the regilters
where each is compelled to Jign his name to his
individual vote f Who is the man that is not
convinced of the influence of the prefiding au
thority in fuch cafes ? From all parts of France,
they fay, burlts forth the monarchy ; but are
we not authorifed to regard as fabrication an
opinion hitherto alvnolt exclulively concen
tered among the public functionaries, when
we know the inconvcniencics to be encounter
ed by manifelting a contrary opinion ; when
we know that the liberty of the prejs is annihi
lated to inch a degree that it is impojjiblc to get
injerted in any of the Journals a complaint the
mofi refpeciful and mod rate !
Indeed there fhould he no necelfity for bal
ancing the choice of a hereditary Chief were
it ueceffary to have one. It would be abl'urd
to draw a parallel between the Firft Conful
and the Pretenders of a family jultly defpifed,
and whole vindictive and fauguinary difpoli
tions are but too well known. The recal of
the houle of Bourbon would be renewing the
frightful feenes of the revolution,and prolcrip
tion would infallibly extend itfelf both to the
property and perlons of the greate!t part of
the citizens. But the exclufion ofthat dynafty
does not render a new dynafty neceflary.—
May we then hope that creating a new dynafty
would haiten the happy epoch of a general
peace ? Would not that be rather a new oblta
cle to it? Are we allured that the other great
powers of Europe will adhere to this new title ?
And if they do not adhere, are we to take up
arms to force them to it ? Or after having re
duced the title of Conful below that of an Em
peror, will the Conful content himfelf with
that title for the lake of foreign powers, whillt
he is Emperor only of the French ? And fhall
we for a vain title expofe the fccurity and
profperity of the whole nation ?
It feems, therefore, to be infinitely doubtful
whether the new order of things can offer moi e
liability than the prêtent Rate: There is for
government hut one means to confolidate it
lelf ; it is to be juft ; that with them favour
does not exceed the fervices rendered ; that
there may be a guaranty againft depredations
and impolitions. Far be from me any parti
cular application or any critic on the conduct
of government ; it is againft arbitrary power
itfelf 1 am fpeaking, and not againft thofe in
whofe hands that power may relide.
Was then liberty (hewn to man merely to
convince him that he can never enjoy it ?—
Was it incelfantly offeredto his view as a fruit
to which he cannot flretch out his hand with
out beingllruckwith death? Thus nature who
gives that liberty as a prefling want, fhould
have intended to treat us as aftep-mother !—
No, I will not confent to regard as a Ample il
lulion, this benefaction, fo univerlally preferr
ed to all others, and without which all others
» are nothing. My heart tells me that liberty
is poflible, that the regime of it is ealy and
more liable than any arbitrary government,
any oligarchy.
Neverthelefs, I repeat it, always ready to
J
facriiicc tny defect afteCtiops to the interdis of
I
my country, I iliall content niyfelf with hav
ing once more made refound the accents of a
free mind ; and my reipeft for the law will be
the more fecured, as it is the fruit of long mif
fortunes, and from that rcafon which to-day
imperioufly commands us to unite in one bo
dy againft the implacable enemy of us all;
of that enemy who is always ready to foment
among us dilcords, and to whom all
means
arc legitimate, provided he can attain his aim
at univerfal opprelfiop, and dominion over the
whole extent of the feas.
I vote againft the propolltion.

In

to the pilings with a part of the If]and.—So vi
olent was the gale that we have not heard ol
any veffel or boat living in the river (except
the United States gun-boat No. I. and aimall
floop, the former was drifted in a corn field
l'evcn miles from the river.)
'Flic men who were loft are, Reuben Arm
it
ftrong, Corporal, William Crafts, Mufician,
Daniel Lacy, Thomas Moore, fofeph Whita
ker, John Glynn, and Samuel M'Williams,
Privates.
CC
And with pain I have to mention the lofs
of (.'apt. Nicoll's fon \\ ho was on a vifit tome ;
he died wi h Lacy who was trying to lave his
life.
Three women and two « hildren belong
ing to the Fort were likewife loft.
k ' The men who efcaped arefo muchbruif
ed ami wounded that lèverai of them will not
be fit for duty for fome time. The account
they give of the form and their lituation is,
that the water was over the Fort at ten o'clock
A. in. and as it began to rile in the houl'ctiiey
alcended, and linally with much difficulty got
on the roof which was carried off about one
o'clock p. m. they however continued on it un
til it parted after which they loft fight of
each other, andthe furvivors laved themfelves
on plank and feantling which was afloat from
a vclfcl that had previoufly gone to pieces (la
den with lumber) lying below them. From the
force of the wind the wood they held on to,
was lbmetimes railed out of the water and car
ried fome diftance. They finally drifted on
V\ ilmington llland from ten to fifteen miles
above the Fort, and one man was lodged in the
top of,a tree.
" The water was fuppofed to have been
from iy to 20 feet above the level of the Fort,
for in this city it was at lead 12 feet higher
than ordinary fpring tides. —From the winds
carrying plank for fome diftance, and indeed
from what fome of the men witnefled, they
fuppofethat one or two of their comrades were
lo;t by blows received by planks falling on
them, who might have faved themfelves in the
water.
" From the lituation of the men and the
ft.teof the roads (for they are impallable w ith
carriages) 1 have thought it molt advifable to
obtain a houle for them a few miles from the
city, to ferve as an holpital and barracks—they
are now, very comfortably fixed about two
miles from town (for l could not procure no
place at a greater diftance) wlmrc a phyfician
will pay them every attention which may be

From the American
lines occasioned by readl^ Mr. Paine's RIGHTS
cape
MAN.
OF
THUS briefly Iketch'd the facred rights of man,
How inconfiftent with the regal plan,
Which, for itfelf, exclufive honor craves,
Where fome are mailers born, and fome arc a\ es ,
look down,
With what contempt mull every eye
On that bale childilh bauble, call'd a crown—
Yet, fource of half the milchiefs men endure,
The quack that kills them, while it feems to cure.
of
Rous'd by the reafon of his manly page,
Once more lliall Paine a lifl'ning world engage :
From reafon's fource, a bold reform lie brings ;
mankind, he pulls down kings,
By railing up
Who, fource of difeord, patrons of all wrong,
for
On blood and murder, have been fed too long :
IIiu fiom the world, and tutor'd to be bale,
The curie, the fcourge, the ruin of our race—
Their 's was the talk, a dull defining crew,
To govern beings that they fcarcely knew,
Who deem'd this world a feulement of Haves,
And form'd their fway on fyftems built by knaves—
bright years, to work their final fall,
A
ante,
And halle the period that lhall crutli them all.
of
Who, that has read and fcann'J th' bidoric page,
But glows at every line with kindling rage,
To fee by them the rights of men alpers d,
Freedom rellrain'd, and nature's law revets cl;
Men, rank'd with bead's, by them bequeath'd away,
And bound, even fools or madmen to obey ;
Now driv'n to fight, and now opprefs'd at home,
C otr,poll'd in crowds, o'er diftant feas to roam,
From Indian climes, the plunder'd prize to bring,
To glad the drumpet, or to glut the king,
Who, l'worn to pieafe her vain, capricious mind,
Was forc'd new diamonds, at her call to find ;
like Nero, his proud dame addrefs'd,
Gr thus,
;e Ons me left offer (not in jed)
Who m;

Anct conquer'd nations at your feet I'll lay."
•immortal be thy reign ;
Columbia, hail!

■Without a king, we till the fertile plain ;
Without a king, we trace th'encircling fea,
An! travel round the globe in each degree.
Each didant clime, Our. gallant flag reveres,
Nor afks a monarch to lupport the stars ;
Without a king, the laws maintain their l'way,
While honor bids each loyal heart obey.
Be ours the talk, th' ambitious to redrain,
And this great leffon teach, that kings are vain ;
That warring realms to certain ruin hade ;
That kings fubfid on war, and wars are wade—
So lhall our nation, form'd on reafon's plan,
Remain the guardian of the rights of man,
A vad republic, fam'd thro' ev'ry clime,
Without a king, to fee the end of tipte.
ExtraSlfrom an address, delivered the 12th of May,
1804, at Worcester, Mass, by Mr. Brazer.
" A true' republican does not confine his regard to
the narrow circle in'which he may be placed. E 11 -
lided in the holy caufe of Freedom, he traces her
progrtfs with equal delight, whether die wantons in
the luxuriant fields of Italy, or climbs the rugged
heights o'' Switzerland ; whether her footdeps prtfs
the vine cl id hills of France, or thé bleak mountains
ol Norway; whether, to "redrels the rigors of the
inclement clime,"'die lcatters her dews on the arid
pleins of tl\e equator, or melts, with her fires, the
Jfrozen fitters ol the pole ! To him, every advocate
of the fame glorious.caufe is a friend a brother. He
groups, with an eye of impartial admiration, the wor
thies of ancient and modem days who fought under
her banners. He viejws, \yith equal affettion and re
fpett, an Emmett on the lcaffold, and a Hancock in
the chair of date ; a Camillus in banidiment', and a
Fayette in prilbn ; a Cato on his fword, and a Brissot
finder the guillotine ; a Curran defending the rights
and lives of the vittiir.s of oppreffion, and a Jejfer
s n proietting the peace and profperitv of the Ions of

Lieutenant Colonel C linton, aid-de

of
of the Right H011. Henry Dundas, with
difpatches of which the following are
copies.
as
Head-quarters, Schagen Brng,
CSroher 20.
Sir,
In my laft communications I have re
prefented to you the circnmftances under
which 1 found it expedient to withdraw
the army from its forward polition in
front of Alkmaer, within that which it at
prefent occupies, and which I truft will
liavc appeared to his Majcfly diffident to
warrant the ineafure, 1 lie feafon of the
year which lias already afliimcd liere the
»(peel of winter, gave
from day to
day, additional reafon !
prebend that
any attempt towards a profeculion of the
campaign in this .country could not be at
tended with decline advantages, whilll
the impolfibihty of covering the troops in
the narrow dittrift ot the country in our
poflelfion during the winter, and the pre
carious date ol (applies to be expected in
that feafon, added to the conviction Kelt
that the moft adviléable meafure to be
piirfued was to remove the army to Eng
land; an operation which, although it
niight liaie expofed the army to fome lofs
111 its execution, I judged in my mind
preferable to any other which could be
adopted. .
Under this impreffion, and confidcring
the lerious lofs which might enfue from
delay, I have been induced to conclude
an armiltice, in conjunftion with vice
admiral Mitchell, (with general Brime,
commanding the r rench and Batavian ar
mies, ol w hieb the conditions arc inclofed,
and which, although they provide lor de- j
livering up a large number of prifoners ot >
war, now in our hands, yet 1 truft will !
1 not be thought by bis majelly an inade- !
cjiiate coinpcnfation for many valuable
lives which iiiuft have been loft, after the
object which has hitherto direftcd them
no longer pro mi fed fuccefs ; and when
the only means which prefented them
lelvcs of lecuving a feenre retreat were
thole of retorting to the deftmftive mea
fure of innnndation from the fea, which,
as it would have involved the inhabitants
of the northern part of this province in
ruin for a feries of years, mull have been
highly repugnant to the feelings as well
as contrary to the charaéter and practice
of the Britifh nation. I reft confident
that the motives which I have here detail
cd will.excufe me to bis niajeftv for hav
ing a fled without writing for previous in
ftruftions from home, and that I fha.ll have
the fatisfadlion of knowing that my con
duft, in this refpeft, lias met with his
majefty's gracious approbation.

Notwithilanding the lofs our country
Has .fuda'ned, by the departure of our il
taitrious friend, yet 1 feel happy in oblefv
ing that Provide no 1 lias been and Hill is
kind to us as a nation, we are not left
without a man who fears God and works
Pvigliteoufuefs. A man eminently diltin
gnilhed, tried and beloved—Virtuous from
principle ; great in council and firm in
.execution- ucli a man, 1 trait, now
prelides over tlie United States, whofe
whole foul has been, and 1 believe dill is,

Cl
vernment and the happinefs of the people,
and vvlto 1 have a firm confidence hath
marked the road (and w ill continue to
walk therein) of his late highly favoted
and exalted predecefibr, which leads un
doubtedly to immortality and eternal
glory
Is, through the wife and prudent
t
e induct of the Prelident of the e lilted
.States, a diilaut glare of hope, that our
h ippy country may yet avoid the calami
ties attending a date of war, every pru
dential preventative mealitre, fo far as 1
urn able to form a judgment has been a
dopted, to produce the defired eifcCl : Yet
if the pr.ofpect of a continuation of jpvt

was far brighter than at prefcnt, Wif
dom's voice proclaims aloud the way to
infure it is to' be ready to allert our rights,
! and oppofu violence and injudice, let it
come from what quarter it may :
It is
1
with thankfulnefs and much pleafure that
1 can inform you the lait feafon has not
been fo afiik'ting to any part of the citi
zens of the Hate as the former, kind Pro
vidence did not fend the l'eftilential Hod
into any part of our date, which was fo
feverely felt in many of our filler dates ;
neither did our farmers fuller fo much in
j their crops the lad, as they did the for
mer year ; and it is with much latistaction
1 congratulate you on the union and har
mony which meafurabiy prevails through
out the date : lint while this affords great
confutation, and would be a d roll g re
fource in any event, yet the circumltances
of our national affairs are dich, as jollities
me in fuggeliiag, the propriety of a Re
v'Jion of our Alilitni Lirai, cfpecially re
fpefting the feveral /Jel'dtery Co vpauies in
the date, whole ufefulnels mult forever be
tad, unltfs they are furnilhed with field
pieces, carriages and apparatus, and alfo
refpefting the impofing fines on delin
quents, and the mode of collection. A.s 1
Hand informed, in fume parts of the date,
the law, as it now Hands, as to fines for
non-attendam e, on millier and field days,
by the conduct of fume officers, only af
fect tliofe perlons who are contaient ioully
fcrupulous of bearing arms in any cafe,
the roll not being called over, or if called
over, fo managed as to elude the taw
with refpect to others. Again from my
information the mode of collecting the
lines, as the law now Hands, is luch from
the fmallncfs ot the compenfatinn allowed
for collection, that renders it impractic
able, I believe, and out of the power of
the Commifiary to get perfotrs w ho are
trait-worthy to undertake the collection.
1 therefore beg leave to fugged the pro
priety of putting, bylaw, tie collection
of all militia lines into the hands of the
Hundred Co lectors, to he by them col
lected c:i the warrant of the eommill'iry,
upon the lame terms the county rates and
levies are collected. I further beg leave
to ohferve, that in my humble opinion a
partial review of the whole brigade in
each county, would he far more ufeful
than the renewing the militia in regi
ments, fnppoling the whole altended, and
i cannot help exprriliug a wifh that the
commander in chief (hon'd he unequivo
cally anth,wiled by the law to review the
militia in brigade or regiments^ when he
might think the fame ufeful anti neceOiiry.
Gentle wen,
Since the lait felfion I have received
from the Executives of feveral of the dates
copies of their laws to be prefented by me
to you, viz. from the date of Virginia,
New-Hampfliirc, Rhode Hland and Pro
vidence Plantations, and South Carolina,
the governor of South Carolina has for
warded three copies ef their Laws, one
tor each branch ol the Legiflature, ar.d
one for the Executive, and e.xprcfles in
his addrefs to me the wifh of his Legis
lature, and his own, that three copies of
the laws of this date Ihouid be forwarded
to him in return. This mode of recipro
cating the laws of the refpeftive dates, I
mult own ftrikes my mind with peculiar
force, but (hall wait your dcciiion on tills
fubjeit, before 1 forward the copy of our
laws under the prefent exiding refolution
to South Carolina.
Alfo 1 have received fundry refutations
from the dates of Pennfylvania, New
Hamp/hire, Vermont, Virginia, & Mary
land, refpefting amendments to the con
llitution of the United States, and one
from Maryland on the fubjrCt of Negroes,
together with a letter from the governor
to me on the fuhject matter of thole re
futations ; and 1 alfo have received a co
py ot an act of the Legiflature of Penn
fylvani-i, and one of the Legiflature of
Maryland on the important (object of
clearing the navigation of the Sufqiiehanna
and opening a communication between
the waters of the l liefapeake Bay and the
River Delaware, through this date. This
is a tabject, no doubt, that demands your
early ami greatell attention, as it is one
of conliderahle magnitude, and involves
not only the interefl <vt the citizens of this
flute, but that of a great body, if not the
whole citizens of the United States. The
feveral documents and papers above re
ferred to, together with a copy of my
anfwer to the governor of Maryland I
have directed the Secretary to lay before
von.
Gentlemen,
In the lad claafe of the aft entitled
" An Act fur bailing prifoners. and about

perl'on or perlons are bound to anfwer to
any indictment or prefentment found a

and facilitate oppreflion. Under this jm
prelfion 1 take the liberty to fugged the
propriety of repealing the claufe above
recited, apprehending the common law
makes ample provifion in l'uclt cafes.
Gentlemen,
From the many recent indances of duels
fought and projiofed to be fought within
this (late, 1 have been led to conlider it
my bounden duty to draw your attention
to that tbbjeft : However it tnay etfeCt
thole who under a miftaken and falfe no
tion of honor, conlider thentfelvcs war.
ranted not only to fport with their own
lives, but with the lives of others, wan
tonly and inconliderately, and frequently
on the ground of the mod trivial circuni
llances. This praitile cannot be jollified
among a people profefling ( lirillianity.
'Phe law of the date is by no means cal
culated to prevent the niilchief. 1 there
fore beg leave to obferve, that in my o
pinion it would be advifeable to repeal
the prefcnl law, and form one more like
ly to prevent the growing evil—And
humbly apprehend a law formed upon this
Idea j that tliofe perfons hereafter con
cerned in fielt unchriftian like conduft,
being convicted thereof, (liould not only
forfeit property within the Hate, he (ob
ject to a length of intprifonment, but
fliould forever after be incapable cf hold
ing any office of trod or profit in the
flare, giving teiVmtnny in any of the courts
of jttdice, or ferving on any jury. Such
a law, I am perfuaded would bring tliofe
gentlemen who pofiéls miltaken notions of
honor to a ferions conlideration, and
■would induce them to take a more rational
way of doing themfelves Judite for either
real or fuppofed injnries.
Gentlemen,
In my addrefs to the General Aflctnbly
at the lad feffion, 1 took the liberty of
drawing their attention to various (iihjcds
fume of which for want of time, 1 prelume,
were not taken up, or afted upon, 1 beg
leave now to remind you of the matters ol
bufinefs therein hinted at ; particularly
to that relating to Judgment Bonds, being
fully convinced in niy mind, that all fitch
fecurities are productive of evil, and in
evitable ruin to many of the citizens of the
date, and it is now high time they iliottld
be done away.
It is alfo much to he wilhed, that a re
vifion of our criminal law could take place,
itnd fpeedily—that puaillujisiits better
proportioned to crimes might be inflicted
than arc at prefent. In niy humble con
ception the bed mode of puniflting mod
crimes is folitary confinement, and hard
labour ; if this idea is well founded, it
follows of confequence, that a houle in
fome part of the (late ought to be provid
ed for that pttrpole, and wltcre this buli
nefs would moll likely be attended to,
with the lead expellee, and moll advan
tage to the (late and criminal. For uty
fclf I have ever conceived that the i o
rottglt of Wilmington, or near it, was by
far the bed fittiatiun for fuch a houfe.
Gentlemen,
Since the fifing of the T egiflature I
have liiade every effort to procure the
arms and accoutrements, the governor is
authorifed by law to ptireliafc for the ufe
of the militia of this (lute, but without
fuccels : i (hall embrace the firlt polfible
opportunity to effect it ; but 1 have no
doubt from information received, could
the legiffature think it proper Co audio
rife me to make the purchuie of the arms
without redricting to the particular ca
liber, in the prefent law mentioned, 1
could obtain the number very (hortly, at
near one third lefs colt than they could
be had of the caliber contemplated in the
Law.
Gentlemen of the Senate and II. of Ref.
1 (hall from time to ti ne during the
prefent feflion lay before you fuch other
fubjeCls as may occur, and appear nectf
fary for your attention to he drawn unto.
And (licit aCts and rcfolves as yoa may
think proper to pals, will meet niy par
ticular attention—And I trull it will he
my confiant endeavour to promet", us far
as in me lies, the union, harmony, peace
and profperity of the people, und with
confidence I am perfuaded that the eilen
liai interefls ol' the citizens of the (late
will be attended to by you, and nothing
'
palled unnoticed which may be ul'eful and
beneficial.
