Mr. Bradford.
I am a plain man, and reside at a great distance from the seat of government. But as I have by removing my family and effects to this country acquired an interest in it, I confess I felt myself interested in the measures of the Convention. The Constitution they formed I think I can live under with content, the plan adopted for fixing the seat of government appeared to me the most objectionable part of it. I always supposed it ought to be fixed in the center of the population of the state, and that it ought to depend on the voice of the people, in General Assembly convened, but as the Constitution decreed otherwise I was content. I am told Sir, that the Commissioners appointed, before they finished their work resigned, that their resignation was accepted, and that they were afterwards appointed by the House of Representatives to proceed to finish their work. I should have been glad no re-appointment had been made, because I do not like the seat of government's remaining at Frankfort until two thirds shall agree to alter it. I with some men better acquainted with the subject would inform me, if after the resignation was made and accepted, the Assembly had any right to direct them to proceed; whether they ought not to have appointed twenty-one men again and whether the representations of Mercer and Fayette had not a right to strike out again. Whether the assembly would deprive them of that right. And if twenty one ought to have been appointed whether the majority of the people's Representatives have not a right when they next meet to adjourn where they please.
If you think proper to print this, I hope some of your correspondents will explain this matter. I am Sir Your constant reader, A FARMER. Mason County, Dec. 24, 1792.

An ACT giving further time to the owners of lands to survey the same, and for returning platts and certificates to the Registers office.

SEC. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly, That the above recited Act be continued from the passage hereof, and the further time of one year from the first day of January next be allowed the owners of entries to comply with the requisitions of the same, during which time no such entry shall be forfeited.
And whereas an Act entitled "An Act giving further time to the owners of surveys to return the platts and certificates thereof, to the land-office," will expire before the next session of Assembly.
SEC. 2. Be it enacted, That the further time of one year to be computed from the eighth day of August next, be allowed for returning all platts and certificates of survey to the Registers office.
In the House of REPRESENTATIVES Dec. 18 h 1792.
M. R. Taylor from the Committee who were appointed to prepare and report the probable annual amount of the Revenue and expenditures of this State, made the following report viz t
"Your Committee have examined the returns made to the Auditor by the Commissioners of the tax, and where no returns have been made, they have formed the best estimate in their power of the amount of the taxable property in such counties, and find the amount of the whole tax which is to be collected by the Sheriffs to be about £6540 9 0 2 which after deducting six per cent for collection leaves a balance of £6242 1 0 1 2
"Your Committee had no data from which they could form an opinion of the amount of the taxes on law process and alienations, which are to be collected by the Clerks; but have ventured to suppose it will amount to about £200 which after deducting five per cent for collection will leave a balance of £190 10 to be paid into the public Treasury, which added to the sum of £6242 1 0 2 the supposed balance of the taxes to be collected by the Sheriffs makes the sum of £6432 1 0 2 which will be the probable amount of the annual Revenue of this State.
"Your Committee having been at considerable loss in fixing the amount of expenditures of Government, as far as they had materials for that purpose they have used them, where they failed, they were obliged to have recourse to conjecture, the amount thus ascertained they make to be about £4471 1 8 1 2 and will appear from the account annexed.
"Your Committee have thus discharged the duty enjoined on them by the House, but think it proper to add a few remarks on the subject.
"The second tax which will be payable in this State, will commence the first day of December 1793, and at that same day the expenses of the Government will be to be paid by the State for eighteen months; because the government commenced its operation the first day of June 1792; therefore unless there is a sufficiency now levied to pay the expenses of the whole up to that time, there will be debts due from the State of which must be provided for at some future day, perhaps, it may be unnecessary to take the tax of this half year into consideration in the imposing of taxes at this time, because the first tax next year will from the natural increase of the subjects of taxation from the immigration of persons into the State by emigrants, and from the new settlements
which will be made on our vacant lands, together with such as have failed in giving in their lands the present year (owing to various causes) will probably produce as much more than it will on the present collection as will be equal to the amount of the expenditures of those six months including the expenses of the first session of Assembly; because it is supposed that one session a year will be sufficient hereafter, and because as many of the public offices were not filled at the time the government took place, and as many arrangements, which swell the expenses, has since and may yet be made, it is probable the additional expenses caused by the first six months including the expenses of said session, will not be more than equal to the annual expenses in future of the State.
"Your Committee cannot close their report without observing with pleasure that as the annual expenditures of the government will not hereafter exceed what it is at present including the expenses of the first session &c and that as the amount of the Revenue must be annually increased, by the increase of the subjects of taxation as stated above that after the second collection of the taxes now laid, there is the greatest reason to believe that they may be greatly decreased until they will become so low as not to be very burthensome to our fellow citizens.

By the President of the United States. A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS certain violent and unwarrantable proceedings have lately taken place tending to obstruct the operation of the laws of the United States for raising a revenue upon distilled spirits within the same, enacted pursuant to express authority delegated to the Constitution of the United States; which proceedings are subversive of good order, contrary to the duty that every citizen owes to his country and to the laws, and of a nature dangerous to the very being of government:
And whereas such proceedings are the more unwarrantable, by reason of the moderation which has been heretofore shown on the part of the government, and of the disposition which has been manifested by the legislature (who alone have authority to suspend the operation of the laws) to obviate causes of objection, and to render the laws as acceptable as possible: And whereas it is the particular duty of the Executive to take care that the laws be faithfully executed; and not only that duty, but the solemn interests and happiness of the people require, that every legal and necessary step should be pursued, as well to prevent such violent and unwarrantable proceedings, as to bring to justice the intruders of the laws and secure obedience there to.
Now he the said GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States, do by these presents most earnestly admonish and exhort all persons whom it may concern, to refrain and desist from all unlawful combinations and proceedings whatsoever having for object or tendency to obstruct the operation of the law aforesaid; inasmuch as all lawful ways and means will be strictly put in execution for bringing to justice the infractors thereof and securing obedience there to.
And I do moreover charge and require all Courts, Magistrates and Officers whom it may concern, according to the duties of their several offices, to exert the powers in them respectively vested by law for the purposes aforesaid, hereby admonishing and requiring all persons whomsoever, as they tender the welfare of their country, the just and due authority of government and the preservation of the public peace, to be aiding and assisting therein according to law.
In Testimony whereof, I have caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents, and signed the same with my hand.
Done this fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety two, and of the independence of the United States the seventh. GE. WASHINGTON.
By the President THO: JEFFERSON.
THE collector of revenue in this Commonwealth are desired to observe that unless they proceed immediately to the execution of the duties of their several offices, and collect indiscriminately from all persons chargeable with the excise, the sums which they owe, as well for the last as the present year, that their bonds shall be forthwith put in suit to reimburse the United States for the loss their negligence may occasion. Should they meet with any opposition in the collection for either year, they are directed to inform the Attorney General for the United States to prosecute the delinquents for the penalties they may have rendered themselves liable to.
