Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives : In our Constitution and form of government, the appropriate duties of the Executive and Legislative branches are clearly pointed out and defined. An enquiring and honest mind can hardly mistake them. Let us then repair to the posts assigned us. In discharging the high trusts committed to us by our common constituents, let us keep fully in view the interests of the whole people of the Commonwealth. For perfecting measures intended to carry out the great and beneficent purposes of the Constitution, I tender you my prompt coöperation.
