as he who counterfeits the currency
of the country, and thereby impairs
the confidence of the community in
the general medium of commercial
transactions, are-certainly defects in
the system of criminal jurisprudence,
which require-a remedy. Instances
of some of the latter cases, I under
stand, actually exist at this moment.
Let it not be said, the executive has
power to mitigate the severity of pu-
nishment in such cases. 1 he pre

To the President of the U. States.
Sir.
It is with the most cordial satis
faction and peculiar delight, that vv
perform the duty enjoined upon us
by the Senate and House of liepre
sen: stives of this commonwealth, in
communicating !o you the high and
grateful sense which they entertain
of the imp rtant services rendered
you lo these United States, in

legislature, in the expression of their
own respect and esteem, have un-
docbledly t-xorrssed thc of iheircon--tit

a decided majority of the citi

To the President cf'th: U. state'
It is wi h pleasure that the two
branches of 'he Legislature of Mas-
sachue ts lmprtiVe the opportunity
afforded by 'heir annual meeting, to
offer to you ihe only tribute which
can be acceptable to the c hief magis
trate of a free nation ; ihe tribute
of their approbation -and to present
the only homage which a gia-efu'
people can pay to, their most distin
guished citizen ; ihe homage of
iheir confidence and esteem.
We are happy in being ab e to as
sure you, that the sentiments which
we now express for ourselves, have,
during t ) k os period of your
ddminist ration, experienced a con
stant and increasing progression with
the great body .f our constituents.
They have viewed with gratification,
a system of frugality, retrench mem
and economy in our national expen
';t Uvea (congenial to the primitive
habits and systems of Massachusetts)
introduced and pursued wi n a faith

s a natural consequence of this sys
em, so plain and obvious in its prin
iples, and so funiliar in its jrpplica
tion to theirprivate or local concerns
-the; hare contemplntc ! with sn
'is:,icucn, the relinquishment to the
several State Governments 'of those
branches of public revenue, which
had by the constitution iieen submit
ted to the control of the Federal Go
vernment; under the confidence, thai
f-hey would be put into requisition
only upon extraordinary exigences,
And at periods of great national pres
sure. They found the increasing
product of the public, revenue, ap.
plied s with a steady and unvarying
hand, to the rapid extinc ion of a
debt, which had threatened by its
increasing freight, to repress the ri
sing eoefgics of an infant p.ation. It
is in view cf these effective measures
-vhich have been adopted for the ac-
.1.1 t ..
licitude hos been excited ; and it is
in their successful execution, that
our highest expectations have been
surpassed.
Out intercourse wiih the nations
of Europe, tho' frequently embarras
sed by the jealousy and rivalih'P of
contending interests, has been pre
served on terms conducive to our
national interests Ix. compatible with
our national honor-and the inestU
mable blessings of peace have been
secured to our country, during a pe
riod of unexampled difficulty, devas
ta;ion and distress throughout the
civilized world ; whiht by the judi
cious application of pur public force,
we commanded the respect of those
piratical and barbarous powders, uon
whom the lUstomary laws of nations
or th common principles of reason
and justice, have no governing in
fluence. The abundant advantages
of our agricultural and manufactu
ring interests have been secured to
us by means the most safe, efficient
and desirable, the removal of bur
densome impositions and embarras
sing restrictions. Our extensive!

attended with a very general and en
couragmg success.
The recent extension of our terfi
'rtal limits (an event which is too
:-fren gratifying only to the pride and
--n hi (ion of nations) derives in this
ustance its chief imporTmice o us,
nm its capacity of contributing to
ur permanent safety and defence,
and above all, from the morality of
he means by which it has been
obtained.
I' hr.s been a consideration con
soling to the feelings of philanthopy, !

l"r the civilization of our aboriginal
inhabitants, have been crowned with

rous zeal with which thry have been
tiirected.
Impressed as we are. with these un
feigned and grateful sentiments of
appiobation towards the past mea
sures of your administration, we lihve
onlv to assure you of that rational

ami s'edftist confidence, with which
i they have inspired us respecting the
tuture ; and that whether our rights
are hereafter to be vindicated against
'lie agressions of foreign foes, or
the machinations of internal conspi
rators, the people of Massachusetts
will mt be found wanting in their
duty to the calls of their country, cr
the requisition of their government.
