All new counties as to the right of suffrage and representation, shall be considered as a part of the county or counties from which it was taken, until entitled by numbers to the right of representation.

3. That whenever two thirds of the general assembly shall think it necessary to amend or change this constitution, they shall recommend to the electors, at the next election for members to the general assembly, to vote for or against a convention; and if it shall appear that a majority of all the citizens of the state voting for representatives, have voted for a convention, the general assembly shall, at their next session call a convention, to consist of as many members as there be in the general assembly, to be chosen in the same manner, at the same places, and by the same electors, that chose the general assembly, who shall meet within three months after the said election, for the purpose of revising, amending, or changing the constitution.

Article XI.
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS.
1. That all power is inherent in
the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety and happiness; for the advancement of those ends, they have at all times an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.
II. That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of non resistance against arbitrary power and oppression, is absurd, slavish and destructive to the good and happiness of mankind.
III. That all have a natural and indefeasible right to worship almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences; that no man can of right be compelled to attend, erect or support, any place of worship; or to maintain any ministry against his consent; that no human authority can in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience; and that no preference shall ever be given by law, to any religious establishments or modes of worship.
IV. That no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under this state.
V. That elections shall be free and equal.
VI. That the right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate.
VII. That the people shall be secure in their persons, houses, papers and possessions, from unreasonable searches, and seizures, and that general warrants, whereby an officer may be commanded to search suspected places, without evidence of the fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named, whose offences are not particularly described & supported by evidence, are dangerous to liberty, & ought not to be granted.
VIII. That no freeman shall be taken, or imprisoned, or disseized of his freehold, liberties or privileges, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any manner destroyed, or deprived of his life, liberty, or property, but by judgment of his peers, or the law of the land.
IX. That in all criminal prosecutions, the accused hath a right to be heard by himself and his counsel, to demand the nature and cause of the accusation against him, and to have a copy thereof; to meet the witnesses face to face; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; and in prosecutions by indictment or presentment a speedy public trial, by an impartial jury of the county or district in which the crime shall have been committed; and shall not be compelled to give evidence against himself.
X. That no person shall, for the same offence, be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.
XI. That laws made for the punishment of facts committed previous to the existence of such laws, and by them only declared criminal, are contrary to the principles of a free government; wherefore no ex post facto law shall be made.
XII. That no conviction shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture of estate.—The estate of such persons as shall destroy their own lives, shall descend or vest as in case of natural death.—If any person be killed by casualty, there shall be no forfeiture in consequence thereof.
XIII. That no person arrested, or confined in gaol, shall be treated with unnecessary rigour.
XIV. That no freeman shall be put to answer any criminal charge but by presentment, indictment, or impeachment.
XV. That all prisoners shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, unless for capital offences, when the proof is evident or the presumption great. And the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in case of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
(To be continued.)
NEW DISCOVERY RESPECTING THE PURIFYING PROPERTY OF CHARCOAL.
Among other singular qualities of Charcoal, it has lately been discovered by a gentleman at Peterburgh, that all sorts of glass vessels and other utensils may be purified from long retained smells and taints of every kind, in the easiest and most perfect manner, by singeing them out well with Charcoal reduced to a fine powder, after their Grosser impurities have been scoured off with sand and potash. That people, whose breath smells strong from a scorbutic disposition of the gums, may at any time get perfectly rid of this bad smell, by rubbing and washing out the mouth thoroughly with fine Charcoal powder. This simple application at the same time renders the teeth beautifully white. And (otherwise colored) putrid stinking water, may be deprived of its offensive smell, and rendered pure by means of the same substance. Hence we think it would be of use in preserving water sweet during sea voyages, to add about five pounds of coarse Charcoal powder to every cask of water: it being only necessary afterwards to strain the water off when wanted, through a linnen bag.
A COMPOSITION for preserving WEATHER BOARDING.
From the XLth Volume of "Transactions of the society for the encouragement of arts &c. in London."
The receipt for this composition was communicated to the secretary of the society by William Pattenson esq. of Ibden, in Kent. I have often thought something much wanted, says Mr. Pattenson, for preserving weather boarding, &c. from the injuries of the weather. Tar an oker, and other mixtures recommended for the purpose, I have tried, but do not find they answer: I therefore have made many experiments to discover a composition better adapted to the purpose, and I think I have found one which answers my expectations—it is impenetrable to water, is not injured by the action of the weather or heat of the sun, which hardens it, and consequently increases its durability—it is much cheaper than paint, and more lasting.
THE RECEIPT.
Three parts of air-slacked lime, two of wood-ashes, and one of fine sand; sift these through a fine sieve, and add as much linseed oil as will bring it to a consistence for working it with a painter's brush, great care must be taken to mix it perfectly. I believe grinding it as paint would be an improvement. Two coats are necessary; the first rather thin, the next as thick as can conveniently be worked—it will improve in hardness by time, and is much superior for the purpose, to any thing I know of.
