a rrrowth 10 rapid, so gigantic ; of a people so prosperous and happy. In contemplating what we have till to perform, the fieart of every citizen must expand with joy. when he retlects how near our covernment has

approached to perfection ; that in respect to it. We have no essential improvement to make ; that the great object is. to preserve it in the essential principles and features which characterize it. and that i- to be done by preservinix the virtue1 and enliffhtninjg i r the mindisof the people ; and, as a security against foreign dansrers. to adopt such arrangements as are indispensable to the support of our independence, our rights' and liberties. If we persev ere in the career in which We have advanced so far. and in the path already traced, we cannot fail, under the lavor of a crcacious Provi dence. to attain the high destinv which seems to await us In the administrations of the illustrious men who have precedeMii iu this hili station, with some of whom I have been connected by the closest ties from early life, examples are presented which will always be found highly instructive and useful to our successors. From thrsr I sha-l endeavor to derive all the advantages which they mav afford. Of mv immediate predecessor, under whom so important a portion of this great and successful experiment has been made, I shall be pardoned for expressing my earliest wishes, that he may lonjr enjoy in his retirement the affecvtioos of a grateful country, the best reward of exalted talents and faithful services. Relying on the aid to be derived from the other departments of the government, I enter on the trust to which 1 have been called by the suffrages of my fellow citizens, with my fervent prayers to the Almighty that he will he graciously pleased to continue to us that protection which he has alread) so conspi

cuously displayed in our favor.
