Fkllow-Citizens, ''
HVTNG been appointed to fill Ihe
Execuve Department of this Government
an o(Tice honorable to my sal?', not "bnly
from itsjsoui'ce, but in proportion to the iifc
terest and respectability of those over whom
I am to preside ; I avail myself of this op,
portunity to declaro that it is with great
diffidence and much concern, I undertake
the execution of its duties. Not because I am
apprehensive thatavery one will not be satis
fied with my conduct : that is not to be
expected; for he must be more than mortal
who can please till even the just: Men will
often differ when acting under the influence
of correct principles and proper motives.
Virtuous differences lead to national investi
gation the surest guide to truth and know
ledge. Nor do I fear my conscience will
ever reproach me with having done an act
m the execution 01 my ofce, derogatory to
the. solemn obligations into which I am now
I about to enter. Nor is it that I dread the
customary mode ofrattaclibvrpiiblic "charac
ters, especially those high' in office, through
the .medium of the press ; and generally by
those who re disposed to attribute every
diffel't'nce from their own mode of .thinking
oh public measures, to ignorance or design
lint it is bt'couse I am convinced our go
vernment is founded on principles of political
freedom, -common justice and equal rights ;
and that an administration solicitous to pro- 1
mote those great objects hus ctdled on me
to aid 'in affording them to yc'u : and also,
because I am suisiLle no people wiih whom
I am acquainted merit more the enjoyment
cf those blessings than yourselves. There- .
fore it ii that I am concerned lest my best
exertions may disappoint your, expectations
' deprive you of the benefit the government
Js'cnpsble, and the adnnnislintirn desirous
to afford Viiiid to which a more able and cx
pcrieiictd character nught snore fully contri
bute" '
' Knowing that it is not uncommon in com-.
" munit'ics for considerable expectations tole -entertained
by some on occasions like the
present, I -will take the liberty to remark,
that I think it equally .hazardous to tho-e .
who are governed and to those who govern ;
and 'that I, mean to say nothing which
shall encourage them with any except
that I shall not knrw party, or regard the
fashionable terms cf political distinction, 'ar
'ther than the principles of our federal go
vernment and a Mipport of the administra
tion most disposed to arlhcic to thtm, s'u ll
justify. Ami for my part, if 1 shall have
the approbation of my own cr.mxicnce. I
shall be satisfu'd ; tuxt to which it shsll be
my. ptitle, not only to rneril a c( niii.Uaii e
cf that coi.fi'.!'. nee 'heretofoie manifested to

butica tf my fellow-iitiy.fiis in gtneial, atid
