The Mlowinn rncssa.^. from hi* ex cellency the governor, together with the accompanying documents, in rt la tion to the interference of the ?>fli':eis under the appointment of th'.- general government, in state elections, was re ceived, and the tnt-ssage read. To the Honorable Ihe Assembly. CJexilkmbn ? The resolution o1 your honorable house, of the 1 6th of Novem ber, relative to an intimation in my speech at the op* niug ot" the session, has been respectfully considered, and duly appreciated ? aim 1 now com municate to you, agreeably to youi re quest, the evidence in my possession rt - iuli\e to toe improper interference of th- officers of the general government | li' f.e !'>C45 concerns of this state. 1'hat many of the officers of the U. ; S att s have, for a number r, f y-.?rs, act I c?i very improperly, by interfering in the elections ol Una s ate, m..st he known to every man in the c immunity, who La* had opp rtunitv f ?; information, and w "ose mind i> not steeled by prejudice against the admission of truth: At the h-s; clecii'ii this influence w as manifest ed in sucii a variety of shapes, and in such a very exceptionable manner, tliat I consult red it mv duty to reter to it: Avd in pe-foimipj? this duty as a rnagis tiate, and :n availing myself of a right possessed by every citizen, to exp ess nis opinion of the conduct of public men 1 did not consider it necesstry that I should he provided with documentary testimony, nor did I suppose that at as. extraordinary tessii-n o! tiiv itgi-la-ure, held for a special purpose, it wouid hr Met mcd advisable t dc line rate on any of the matters indicat* d in my speech ? A i.d I was confirmed in this imnr**^ ?? . ....? suDiert, whfi 1 so lui us 1* , ? i , , .^,i to The resolution ol toe senao tV n before you, proposing to adjourn on toe next day ? a'd to a resolution cf y-.ur house, passed on the I8t:i day of Novi'inbir, foi adjourning on the 2l>th. U. dcr thrst circumstances, I thought pi op-, i to delay thi* communication un tr? the p? est in session. And when I make thio observation^ I must he per mitted to state, that whenever I am cal led oti for information, by any branc.i ol ihr legislature, in a prop r manm r a tti ii a p; ope r case, I shall always attend to tne request with pit asu re; bu I shall i ?serve to myself sufli'i nt time to pre pare a satisfactory answer. And the uni veisal understanding, in pariiamentai y pra?tice, has been, 'hat if the informa tion tequcs'ed is afforded in time for lull 1 gisla'ive delibc t ation and decision, no exception out; lit 'o be taken. In animadvert i:.g on the obtrusion of extraneous influence in the politics of this s.atc, I was desirous of arresting >h?* progress ol a great evil, by attract i: g the public attention to its pr: do minance. Anil 1 was n*?t without hopes, that the national legislature would con sider it a fit case lor the salutary ?xcr cis - of its high authorities. In the in quiry which has been recently institut ed into (he conduct :>f o:y of the depart ments of the national administration, some of ihc abuses which will be deve loped i'i this message -May be deemed a fit subject for cognizance; and 1 am persuaded, that the general investiga tion which has been made will have a benclicial tendency, even if it be not followed by any measures of punish ment. Considering the immense pntrortage which must be necessaiily entrusted to ihe exec utive government of the Union, the constitution of the United S'mtcs has wisely declaceu tl that no senator or rc piesentative shall during the time for which Ijr was elected, be appointed to any civil olTice under the authority of the United Statts, which shall have been created or the emoluments wheieof shall have been encrc*scd timing sueh time; and no person holding any office uiu!er the United States, shall be a mem ber of either house during his continu ance in office;" and " that no senator or representative or person holding an of fice of trust or profit under the United States shall be appointed an elector ol president and vice president." The ob ject of these provisions is to preserve the independence of the national legis lature and of the electoral colleges and to maintain the put it y of republican go vernment. The same salutary provisions for analogous beneficial objects have been extended to the sut? legislatures, and all the state constitutions formed since the proposal of the national con stitution in 1787, declared in substance that no me inner of congress, or officer of thr United States, shall have a seat in th* state legislature. There are in s?. tne constitutions, variations in the pro visions, hut they all embrace in a great er or k?s decree the spirit of the ex eluding principle. In those states which had adopted constitutions before the establishment of a national government, there is of course no constitutional pro hibition ? but it is understood that in such ease statutes have been passed to the same tflVct. Virginia, whose con sti'ution was formed in 1776, nas a very comprehensive lavr on the subject. Penn sylvania. in addition to a constitu'ional re*(j*i( tion, has a statute vhich prohibits offv us of the Unitci S ates from sitting as judges, inspectors or clriks of state elections. ? The constitution ol this state was formed in 1777, and alt oug'i no stat'itc has Utv n passed on this subject, >et by a concurrent tt solution of M ien 1790, it was rt solved ;?sth?- sense <?f h? legislature, tba' it is incotnpaiihl (.? - cording . the constitution ?.l th's state and of the L'lu >d S a e-.) tha*. a mem ber of cngres.. ol oii.cr person 1 o<ding any office >\ i?a's>?c\ ci , u .otr the United States, should be a member of the sr naie or assembly ol this stale duiin. Ins con*.uiuan< e in co*.^.es?, 01 in such of fice; and '.bat wiienevrr a nierub r of tf.e legislature shall be elected or appoint a member of congress, or to any efiicc whatever under the Uritcd States, ,o.d shuii acccpi of such officc or appoint ment, it is hereby furtiitr rt solved, t .at his seat in the legists- ure ougnt to lu vacated. Even in tti? gover.nnei.t ol Great Biitain, c fficersVd* the 1 x< is- and customs, and clci- .s or deputies in tne treasury, navy vtcuallin^ ^nd admi- .il ty ? (Tiers, and a long list ot other d< pen den's on the crown, are interdict- d troni b* log e.ected or sitting as .ne ntjc rs of the house of commons. Every officer ot the United Staus i> in a Maie oi partial <n>l. anchise ? <-nt. IK cannot set in conf ess, in the sta c legislatures ?-r in the riecb>ral colleges. In the vie w cf thr constitution, nc is <ni ohj. ct of jea.ou*y; he can, nowever, <?t any time be r- stored to ail the Fram-Mses of i, cit:zui by ni fli i Our government lound'.d 0.1 t!?e ie I?resenta?ivr system; it protect the 5.11 rity and independence ot the rep.escnta tive; it erects a barrier a.,ams> iiir ii> toads of the executive pa.rorage, an:l it intends that t!:e constituent bo y should t.e free Fiom the op< tutioii of the same influence. In reserving to the national fli e r his elective franchise, it \va- ex ercised in the genuine spuii of repuh-. ii( ahism; an.'l that the ouflYagrs ot the t iMZt-n should not he biassed ov tnc emoluments and honors ol tin- offir r, and that he should not carry in u the elections, <mv ol the influence derived Irom his cfli< ui station : and 1 truot ? hat it will be universally a mil ed, *hat me national govitnr.uni ought no to confcror withhold offices with a view of creating influence in state politics. It is well known that in tins statr, the national adminis: ration liai lur some years selected in ^bunst evcrv case of any importance, its ofli.-. rs m < ppo-ition 10 the siaie administration, and this un doubtedly operate* as an encout ali ment to organized and disciplined bosti liiy. It is a virtual instruction to its of ficers o oppose, and it is an invitation to all who are desnous of the patronage ? of the gem r .? i government to rmbark in the opposition. Tne interference, of the oflicers of the general governinent in state politics in 17^8. was a: that period a subject of general and well founded complaint: in the interval between my first election and entrance into office, I took the libesty of apprising Mr. Mon roe, the president of the L'niioU States, ol the obtrusive intermeddling of the oflicers of the general government in our state politics, and of my earnest hope that under Ins administration this system, ?o justly and so generally re probated, would be no longci tolerated. In discharging this duty to the repun lie, I entettained every wish to promote the most umicablc relations between the general and staie administration, and I truly dcclare that no act ot hostility has been in any snapc manifested or rntour aged on tin part ol the authoi ities ot this state. The documents which I have now the honor 10 transmit to you, do not extend beyond the la?t g neral eleclicn and the agitations preceding and accompanying it. At the very penod when tne oflicers of the United States, who have behaved so re prehen-ibly, ought to have con ducted themselves with the greatest delicacy; when a legislature wai to be chosen that was to appoint th electors of president and viec president: and when the second officer of the United Slates was a candidate for the office ol governor, all the influence ol t heir ol fices was put in requisition and brought into activity. Although deprived ol the right of being chosen, yet, if in the ex ercise ot the right ol choosing, they aie permitted by the power of office to in fli.encc elections, wnat security >a\c the people for a pure legislature, lor an in dependent congress or tor an incorrupt college of electors. On this occasion 1 take a pl< asure in slaving, that aoiwith standing the practices coinplaineu oi were marked w uh signal impropriety in t>ie general operations of the navy yaid in Kind's county , yet I tlo not know ot a single instance wherein a naval, oilicer wt o distinguished himself during the lute war, lias conducted himself impro peily. The otTicrrs of the army station ed in this state iiave furnished, general ly '-peaking, no ground c f complaint. And the custom house officers, on the takes, so tat as I can learn, have be haved in ait unexceptionable manner. In exercising the lights ofsutlYagc, they have, 1 believe, gmerally abstained froin bri >ging any official influence in at>y shape to bear u|?c?n the cotitroversy. The navy yaid is situated in Brooklyn, K. ivt's county, and contains about 4'J w les. ? L ?rge sums of money ha. e breti expended there in building and repair ing si?i p > ot v.ai a. id an extensive esta blishment is maintained tn that plare. The documents herewith tiansmitud will siiow that tinder tiie principal di ie< tion ol Mr. Decatur, the naval store kt-e ri,the blacksmiths, the cautkers, carpenters, laborers, arid other persons in the public employ at the navy yard, writ: brought u;> to vote ? that he was as* istcu in his operation by other officers ot that establishment, at.d that improper attempts wrrc made in a vaiiety of shapes to operate on the electors. The whole presents a scene of undue influ ence and extraneous intrusion revolting to eveiy friend of republican govern ment. The papers marked from A. to L. iti' lu-ive, establish the charge be yond t ie potsibibty of refutation, and the certificate maikcd M. from the Bist ju ;gc oi the county of Kings, places the credibi.ity of the witnesses beyond 'Tlltlbt. i iiu pa'ronage ot tne custom house of N Y->rk is iiiimei.sc. There are now 1.0 primed d'j' unieuts which disclose the number and compensation of the .flints employed in that establishment, as the r 8 notion of < ohgress ol -7th April, 1816, .meeting a compilation and ptintir.p of a register once in every two y - ars, ol the cffn rs ol* the U nitcd State s has not been . omplhd with in respect t? the ?ub?jrdii*a;e officers ot the cus toms oi New Yoik, I can therefore only state as a matter of estimate, that the patron ge of that establishment approxi mates ti? 200,;;00 dol jis nnnu illy. The survey jr of me port, Mr. Joseph (i. Swift, biis tlie i:nmcdiau direction of ?hc inspectors and subordinate officcr* ot'th~ oist^ins; ai.d, although he has not the power of displace mem, yet tlicy are in *ucli a staie ol dependence that their personal comfort must direct!)*) anil thtir t fliciai existence indirectly, depend on his voliur n. ? In older* that there mn^ht be no doubt oi his determi nation to interfere in the state election, he reported, as a member of a commit tee to a public meeting in Kings coun ty, the resolution marked N. When the situation, connexion, and political prin ! ciplt s of this oflicet of the United States are considered, there can be no doubt, but that he had previously ascertained tnc srnse of his pu.itira! superior, and that he was instructed acrordingly. In putsuaiice ot this example the two in spectors of the customs at Sta.cn Is land, interfered in the mo-t improper manner in the election ? the papers marked O, P, K. S, T, will establish ?his '..barge, aim the certificate uiaiked U, given by the first judge of Richmond county, goes to prove the unquestiona ble good character of the witnesses. The papers marked V, and W, will al so show the conduct of some of the in ?sprctorsin the city ol New York. lit such an immense population it is dilli cult#to trace the course of individuals particularly, hut it is believed that the few friendly officers of the cuetom* were intimidated into entire ntutiality, and that the mass of the influence of that in stitution was marie to exhibit a hostile attitude to the statt administration. The law regulating the compensation of the inst ecor of the customs authorises the allowance of three dollais a day, for the days that they are actually employed. These documents prove that seven of tnose officers were employed in elec tioneering; and I presume it will not be denied that each individual received three dollars a day from the public trea sury when so engaged. The resolution marked W V, of the citizens of Buffalo, complains of the un due interference of the officers of the general government in that quarter, l'he cnaitman ot 'hat meeting* Mr. John E. Marshall, informs m ? *4 Thai tr.is resolution was intendeJ to he a cen sure upon ;hr general political c nduct of those persons resiling in Niagara county who are attached to the c?mi mission lor establishing the boundary | line between the United States and C ?

At the last spring election they were pcculiai - ly industrious, some of them frequent ly dci laiing thai ?!uy were peculiarly mdusirious, some ot them liequentjy declanug that tlicy were determined 'v>
