Book Description
Excerpt from An Address to the Freemen of Rhode Island: By a Landholder TO THE FREEMEN OF RHODE-ISLAND, On the twentieth of April next, you will again select your rulers for the ensuing political year. Although I am no preacher, I shall take the libertythis occasion to take a text, which you may find in Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments, (vol. 1. 3. 3.) in the words following: , "Examine the Records of History, recollect what has happened within the circle of your own experience, consider with attention what has been the conduct of all the greatly unfortunate, either is public or private life, whom you have either read o heard of or remember, and you will find, that the misfortunes of by far the greatest part of them, have arisen from their not knowing when they were well off, when it was proper for them to sit still and be contented. The inscription upon the tombstone of the man who had endeavoured to mend a tolerable constitution by taking physic, "I WAS WELL, I WISHED TO BE BETTER; HERE I AM may generally be applied with great justness to the distress of disappointed avarice and ambition." Although I may not handle my text with much skill on this occasion, I would recommend it to your serious consideration, as it may answer a good purpose in politics and business, as well as in sickness and in health. You are now called upon by a party heretofore unknown in this State, the leaders and most active of whom are neither of the whole or half blood of our native citizens; and have no settlement among us either by purchase or inheritance; to turn out our present Governor, together with the Senate, and put in his place, a young gentlemen from Vermont. When a man, who has served the public as long and as well as Governor Fenner, and for a very small compensation, is to be opposed, the first questions that occur are - what has he done? and who are his accusers?

Book Description
Excerpt from An Address to the Freemen of the State of Rhode-Island Having again consented to be a candidate; with my present colleague, Mr. Jackson, for the twelfth Congress, and finding that for this we are subjected to every species of misrepresentation, and that our conduct, together with the minority in Com gress, is represented in oppositionto the Administrer' tion and Government of the United States, and in favour of great-britain, against the country that gave us birth, and in which we hold no inconsiderable stake; although 1 do not believe there is a single man of common lease, or common honesty, that believes those insinuations and although you may be assured, that a re-eleetion will neither gratify my ambition, or serve my interest yet, feeling myself as your Reptes sentative, accountable for my conduet, 1 shall, how.. Ever unpleafant the task, give youa corree'r account o the operations of the Government, under the difa ferent administrations, to the end of the last year, principally, in respect to the receipts and expenditures, that you may be the better able to judge for yourfelves, as to the extravagance of economy of your rulers, and the difference between profession and practice net in the lcail doubting, that when you are correctly informed, you will view things very differently from what you do at present: I shall likewisc endeavour to {late the different fubv jeets that have been before Congress the last winter, I shall avow the part that I have taken, and explain the motives, and reasons for my conduct 1 shall do this the more readily, as a man is not justified nor condemned so much by his conduit, as by party names and prejudices.
