I beg you, at the same time, to do me the justice to be assured, that this resolution ha' not been taken, without a strict reirard to all the considerations appertaining to the relation. which binds a dutiful citizen to his country; and that in withdrawing the tender of service which silence in my situation might imply, I am influenced by uo diminution of zeal for your future interest; no deficiency of grateful respect ior your past sinuness: but am sup ported by a full conviction that the step is compatible with both. Fhe acceptance of, and continuance hither. to in the office to which your suffrages have twice called me, have been a uniform sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty, and to a delerence lor what appeared to be your dc ire. I constantly hoped, that it would have been much earlier in my power, consistently with motives, which 1 was not at hbertv to disre gard, to return to that retirement, from which I had been reluctantly drawn. The strength ot my inclination to do this, previous to th last election, had even led to the pr ,)aration of an address to declare it to you ; but mature reflection on the then perplexed & critical pos tare of our affairs with foreign nations, and the unanimous advice of persons entitled to mv confidence, impelled me to abandon the idea l reioice, that trie state ot your concerns external as well as internal, no longer render the pursuit ot .inclination incompatible with the sentiment of duty, or propriety: and am persuaded whatever partiality may be retained For my services, that in the present circum stances of our country, you will notdisapprov ot my determination to retire. The impressions with which I first under took the arduous trust, were explained on th proper occasion. In the discharge of th trust, I will only say, that I have with good intentions, contributed towards the otganiza ri).- Lemuel Jackson, Charles Ivey, Nathan Ivey.

Frlcntlt and Fellow-Citizen, The period for a new election of a Citizen, to administer the executive government of the United States, being not far distant, and the time actually arrived, when your thoughts .must be employed in designating the person, best exertions of which a very fallible judg ment was capable. Not unconscious, in the out-set, of the inferiority of my qualifications, experience in my own eyes, perhaps still more in the eyes of others, has strengthened the motives to diffidence of myself : and every day the encreasing weight of years admonishes me more and more, that the shade of retirement is as necessary to me as, it will be welcome. Satisfied that if any circumstances have given peculiar value to my services, they were tem porary, I have the consolation to believe, that while choice and prudence invite me to quit the political scene, patriotism does not forbid t. In looking forward to the moment, which is intended to terminate the career of my pub lic life, my feelings do not permit me to sus pend the deep acknowledgment of that debt cf gratitude which I owe to my beloved country. for the many honours it has conferred upon si i l t me ; still more lor tne stedtast connuence witn wnicn it has supported me ; an j ior tne oppor unities I have thence enjoyed ot mamltsitng mv inviolable attachment, bv services faithful and persevering, though in usefulness unequa to mv zeal. It benehts nave resulted to our country from these services, let it always be remembered to gurpraise,and as an instructive example in our annals, that under circumstan ces in which the passions, agitated in every direction, were liable to mislead, amidst ap pearances sometimes dubious- vicissitudes of fortune often discouragingin situations in which not unfrequently want of success has countenanced the spirit ot criticism -the con stancy of your support was the essential prop of the efforts, and a guarantee of the plans by whTch they were effected Profoundly pene trated with this idea, I shall carry it with me to my grave, as a strong incitement to unceas ing vows that Heaven may continue to you the choicest tokens of its beneficence : that your union and brotherly affection may be perpetual that the free constitution, which is the work of your hands, may be sacredly maintained that its administration in every department may be stamped with wisdom and virtue that in fine, the happinessnf the people of these States, under the auspices of liberty, may be made complete, by so careful a preservation and so prudent z use of this blessing, as will acquire to them the glory of recommending it to the applause, the affection and adoption of every nation which is yet a stranger to it. Here, perhaps, I ought to stop. But a soli citude for your welfare, which cannot end but with' my life, and the apprehension of danger, natural to that solicitude, urge me on an occa sion like the present, to offer to your solemn contemplation, and to recommend to your "fre quent review; some sentiments, which are the result of much rt flection, of do inconside rable observation, and which-appear to me all mportant to the permanency ot your felicity ' , n i , I IT - . as a people, i nesc wm oe oncreu io you wim the more freedom, as you can only feel in them the disinterested warnings of a parting friend, who can pcssibiy have no persoiMil motive to bias his counsel. Nor can 1 forget, as an en couragement to it, your indulgent reception of my sentiments on a former and not dissimilar occasion. Interwoven as is the love of liberty with eve ry ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mioe is necessary to fortify or coufitm the attachment. . The unity of government which constitutes vou one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so ; for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support ot your tranquility at home; your peace abroad ; of your safety ; of your prosperity ; of that very iibcrty which you f highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee, that from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth ; as this is the point in your political fortress a gainst which the batteries of internal and ex ternal enemies will be most constantly and ac tively (though often covertly and tnsiduously) directed, it is of infinite moment, that .you should properly estimate the immense value of your National Union, to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish i cordial, habitual and immoveable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity ; watching for its pre servation with jealous, anxiety; discountenanc ing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned ; and mcng nantly frowning upon the first dawning of eve ry attempt to alienite any portion of our coun try from the rest, or to enfetbie the sacred ties which now link together the various parts. For this you have every inducement of sy m pathy and interest. Citizens by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. 1 he name ol Americas, which belongs to you, in your na tional capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any appellation drnv d from local discriminations- With slight shades of difference, you have the same reli gion, manners, habits and political principles You have in a common cause fought and tri umphed together ; the Independence and Li berty you possess are the work and joint coun cils and joint efforts, of common dangers, suf ferings and successes. But these considerations, however power fully they address themselves to your sensibi lity, are greatly outweighed by those which apply more immediately to your interest. Here everv portion of our country finds th most commanding motives for carefully guard ng and preserving the Union of the whole 1 he worth, in an unrestrained intercourse with the South, protected by the equal laws of a common government, finds in the produc tion ot tne tatter, great additional resources of maritime and commercial enterprize and precious meterials ol manufacturing industry The South in the same intercourse, benefitting by the agency of the North, sees its agricul ture grow and its commerce expand. Turn ing partly into its own channels the seamen of the North, it finds its particular navigations vigorated and while it contributes, in differ ent ways to nourish and increase the general mass ot the national navigation, it looks ior ward to the protection of a maritime strength to which itself is unequally adapted. The hast in a like intercourse with the West, al ready finds, and in the progressive improve ment of interior communications, by land and water, will more and more find a valuable vent for the commodities which it brings from broad, or manufactures at home. The West derives from the East supplies requisite to its growth and. comfort and what is perhaps o still greater consequence, it must of necessity owe the secure enjoyment of indispensible out lets for its own productions to the weight, in fluence and the future maritime stregth of the Atlantic side of the Union, directed by an in dissoluble community of interest as one nation. Any other tenure by which the West can hold this essential advantage, whether derived from its own separate strength, or from an apostate and unnatural connection with any foreign power, must be intrinsically precarious. While then every part of our country thus feels an immediate and particular interest in Union, all the parts combined cannot fail to find in ths united mass of means and efforts greater strength, greater resource, proportion ably greater security from external danger, a lss irequent interruption oi their peace by foreign nations : and what is of inestimable valuej.thcy must derive from Union an ex eruption from those broils and ws between themselves, which so frequently aflict neigh touring countries, not tied together by th . , same.goventaent j vhich their own rlval'ships alone wou'd be suEcicnr to produce, but whjcb opposite foreign alliances, attachments and in- ' trigues, would stimulate and embitter. Hence likewise they will avoid the necessity rf those .' overgrown military establishments, ' urn der any form of government are ina-ciou to liberty, "and which are to be' regarded at particularly hostile to, Republican Liberty: In, this nse it is.'thatyour Union ought to. be considered a main, prop of your liberty, and, that the love of-;he ooecnight to endear toyov the preservation -of the other., . V .'. ; v. These considerations speak a. persuasive language to every reflecting and virtuous mind and exhibit the continuance' of the Utfto as , a primary object of Patriotic desire. Is there doubt, whether a common government cart mbrace so large a sphere ? Let experience. solve it To listen to mere" speculation io such a case were criminal.. We are authoris ed .to hope that a proper organisation of th whole, with the auxiliary agency; of govern ments for the respective subdivisions, will af ford a happy issue to the experiment.- ' 'Tit well worth a fair and full experiment.

You cannot shield yourselves too. much agunst the jealousies and heart-burn- ngs which spring from those misrepresenta tions ;,they tend to render alien to each other . those who ought to be bound together by fra-.. ternal affection. I he inhabitants ot our wes-, tern country have lately had a useful lesson on: this head : they baye seen, in the ncgnciatioa- by the Executive, and in the unanimous rati fication by the Senate, of the treaty with Spain, and in the universal satisfaction at that event, hroughout the United.

To the efficacy and permanency of your Union, a Government for the whole is indis pensable No alliances, however strict; be-4 tween the parts can be an adequate substitute ; ' they must inevitably experience the infractions ,, and interruptions which all alliances in all ; times have experienced.
