An ADDRESS of the CONVENTION for framing a Constitution of Government for the people of New-Hampshire, to the freemen thereof, voted at their last meeting, viz. on the first Tuesday of June 1783.
Brethren and Fellow Citizens,
UPON examining the Returns, made to us in Convention, respecting the last Plan of Government, sent out for your consideration; we are happy to find that every article, except those which relate to the Executive Department, is accepted by the people. And, although there is a considerable majority for keeping the executive power separate from the legislative; yet there is such a diversity of sentiment concerning the manner, and hands, in which the same should be deposited, that the Convention have thought proper to offer the following alternative for your consideration, viz.
THAT, instead of a Governor, as proposed in the aforesaid plan, there shall be a President of the State, chosen by the people at large, in the same manner, and with the same qualifications as were therein required for a Governor; that in lieu of the negative therein given to the Governor, the President of the State shall preside in the Senate; shall have a vote equal with any other member; and shall also have a casting vote in case of a tie.
THAT annually, upon the first meeting of the Assembly, two members of the Senate, and three from the House of Representatives, shall be chosen by joint ballot of both Houses, as an advisory Council to the President, for one year; who, with the President, shall nominate and appoint all officers, civil and military, within the State, whose nomination and appointment were, by the aforesaid plan, intrusted to the Governor and Council; and, upon such appointment, the President shall commission them accordingly: Provided always , That no appointment shall take place unless three of the Council agree thereto; and not less than three of the Council, with the President, shall make a quorum for transacting other business in the executive department.
THE Members of the Council, shall not intermeddle with making, or trying impeachments; but shall themselves be impeachable, by the House,
and triable, by the Senate for mal-conduct.
THE President shall be Captain-General and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy; and shall have and exercise all the powers, intended by the aforesaid plan, to be vested in the Governor as such.
THE President, with advice of Council, shall have and exercise the same powers, as were therein given to the Governor and Council; except as is herein before excepted.
THAT the paragraph, in said Constitution, respecting the Governor's salary, be expunged; and that the President and Council be compensated for their services, from time to time, by such grants as the General Court shall think reasonable.
THAT, in case of the death or removal of the President, the senior Senator shall have and exercise all the powers herein given to the President, until another President shall be chosen and sworn into office.---And in case of the death or removal of either of the Council, the Senate and House shall proceed to fill up such vacancy by a new choice.
THE Convention were not induced to offer the foregoing alternative, from a conviction that the alteration proposed, is more consonant to the principles of a free government, more conformed to the bill of rights, or better calculated to secure the liberty of the subject.
The sentiments of the Convention on this point, are not only clearly expressed in the thirty-seventh article of the bill of rights; but the reasons therefor have been repeatedly and explicitly stated in their addresses to the people. Every person acquainted with the nature of government, and with the designs and objects of the legislative judicial and executive powers, must be deeply convinced that in every free constitution, these must be so distributed and arranged, as to prove mutual checks on the undue influence of either; to effect which necessary and important end, they must be vested in different persons; like three equal powers in mechanic, drawing in different directions, they must, in such situations, control and be controlled by each other; and consequently, while their force con-
tinues equal and opposite to each other must confine the whole to one common centre. But should you give any two of the three a special relation, they will invariably assume the same direction; and then the resistance of the third will become insufficient to counteract their united efforts: So the nature and end of the three before-mentioned powers of government, being essentially different, and opposed to each other, in their operation and effects, must be placed and kept in different hands, in order that each may exert its proper influence, and prevent incroachments.
LEGISLATION being the supreme power in any government, the objects of it must be various and numerous, and its limits so extensive, as to render it almost impracticable to ascertain them; while those of the judicial and executive departments are so accurately defined, in every free State, that the least deviation may be detected and punished.
The will of the legislator being the law of the subject, and the law of the land the line of conduct for the Executive Magistrate, it is scarcely possible to suppose that this Magistrate, even if perversely inclined, could destroy or injure the liberties of the people; while the powers of legislation, and the command of the wealth of every individual in the State, are lodged in other hands. But if both these powers were deposited in the same hands, they might overturn the whole political fabric, without the possibility of meeting an opposition from the people, sufficient to prevent their designs from being carried into effect.
THE President, proposed in the above alternative, is to have no check upon the Legislature; is rendered totally dependent on that body for his support; and is to have no exclusive right in the nomination of officers.
As more than a third part of the votes returned, were against a Privy Council being elected as proposed in the last plan; we, conceiving that it might be more agreeable to the sentiments of the people to have a Council chosen out of the Legislature, have proposed that method. This is done with a view of removing some objections, made by the people, against the expence of a Privy Council and the powers of the Chief Executive Magistrate.

The reason for taking the Council from both branches of the Legislature, and not from the Senate alone, was to give to each upon a miniature scale, a hand in the appointment of officers, and to prevent the mischiefs which might ensue, were the Council composed of the whole, or a greater part of the Senate: for in such case the Council could not be tried for mal conduct upon impeachment, the Senate being solely invested with that authority: the natural and obvious consequences of such a measure would be to place the higher Executive Officers beyond the reach of impeachments; and it is not unnatural to suppose, that, upon the removal of this check, they might venture to pursue measures which when responsible for their conduct, they would not dare to attempt. Besides the reasons before assigned it may easily be discovered, that a Senate, with such additional powers, would soon acquire undue influence over the other branch of the Legislature; and in time either wholly absorb, or render it of little importance in the political scale.
To avoid these evils, and to comply with the sentiments expressed in the returns from a great number of towns, we were led to adopt the before mentioned mode; but at the same time were not insensible, that such arrangement is liable to many objections: That, in this way, the powers of Government must be blended, and their independency on each other in some degree destroyed: but as our former sentiments in this respect have not been adopted by the people, we are now under the necessity of proposing the only remaining plan, which as men of integrity, entrusted by you with this important charge, and as men equally interested with yourselves in the event, we can with sincerity recommend.
The Convention have determined that, at their meeting on the adjournment (which will be on the fourth Tuesday of October next) they will lodge the Executive power in the manner prescribed in this alternative, provided a majority of votes should then appear in favour thereof: but in case a majority should appear in favour of the mode proposed in the last plan, or any other, which you yourselves may devise, that mode will be adopted by the Convention, and the Constitution established accordingly; and in case this alternative, or any new mode, should be agreed upon, the Constitution will be altered so far, and no farther, than is necessary to make the whole plan uniform, and consistent with the necessary alterations. The Convention have further determined, that, in case a permanent form of Government should then be adopted, the present Constitution shall remain in full force, until the officers, under the new form shall be invested with their respective trusts; and that, in the mean time, the members of Assembly under the present Government, shall make all the necessary arrangements for introducing the new Constitution at the time, and in the manner, therein prescribed.
The general agreement of the people respecting other parts of the plan; the opportunity PEACE affords for cool and dispassionate consideration; the advantages, which must result from a regular and permanent form of Government, animate the Convention to persevere, and give the most flattering prospect of finding, at the adjournment, a majority of votes, at least, in favor of one or other of the plans now proposed; and of their having the satisfaction of being instrumental in establishing a political Constitution, which will secure, diffuse, and transmit THE BLESSINGS OF FREEDOM TO GENERATIONS YET UNBORN.

L O N D O N, May 10.
Thursday some letters were received from Brussels, which mention, that the Emperor of Germany has ordered a large army to be formed in Hungary, to watch the motions of the Turks, who have already committed several acts of hostilities on the frontiers.
The famine that now rages in the Carnatic, is of infinitely more alarming a nature than people are
aware of; it threatens as fatal consequences as the famine which carried off two millions of people a few years ago in Bengal: For there is great room for apprehending that the famine will produce a pestilence. Every morning exhibits the most shocking spectacles round Madras; the high roads round the town are strewed with dead bodies; and from the excessive heat of the climate, and the consequent putrefaction of these bodies, there is every thing to be apprehended by those whom Providence may have placed out of the reach of one dreadful scourge, in order that they might fall by another: But as if famine and pestilence were not sufficient scourges for the poor Indians, the calamities of war are superadded, and a victorious prince, with a numerous army, threatens even Madras with a siege, and lays waste all the country round it. Nothing can be more truly deplorable than the state of our settlements in India; the Carnatic is nearly ruined; Bengal is very little able to relieve it; the Marattas and Hyder Ally are almost irresistible by land; and the French are masters of the sea. Happy it is for us that hostilities with the last mentioned nation are soon to cease in India.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, June 11. Two objects at this time principally engage the attention of the politicians of New-Jersey: The first is, that a dividend be made by Congress of those countries lately ceded by the King of England to the United States; and that New Jersey be put in possession of such a share of the lands, or have ben fit from the sales thereof, in equal proportion to its quota of the expences of the war. The second object is, the establishing and encouragement of commerce and navigation, by making Burlington and Perth Amboy free ports; that they may no longer be under the necessity of repaying to Philadelphia and New York, either for the disposal of their produce or for purchasing foreign commodities.
A remarkable meteor was observed at Richmond in Virginia, on Saturday the 3d inst in the afternoon; and, from the violent explosion, it is conjectured it must have fallen somewhere near Petersburg, where it was felt more violent. Its direction appeared to be from the north to south.
The General Assembly of Maryland, at their last session, passed an act to invest the United States, in Congress assembled, with a power to levy, for the use of the said states, certain duties on imported foreign goods, wares and merchandise, as a fund for the payment of the debt contracted by Congress during the late war.
The said Assembly has also passed an act prohibiting the bringing of slaves into her State.
The Volunteers of Ireland are preparing a congratulatory address to his Excellency General Washington, on the glorious emancipation of America from British tyranny. To that renowned Chief, and the virtuous struggles of the American army, they, in a great measure, ascribe their own happiness and independence, and are therefore determined to pay their tribute of gratitude.
C H A T H A M, June 11. Extract of a letter from Elizabeth Town.
From the many accounts from West Chester and the neighbouring towns, in the state of New York, near the British posts, the inhabitants of said towns are in the most unhappy situation of any people under the sun. Those called the king's, or loyal refugees, continue in their old practices of beating, burning, hanging, and cutting men and women, in order to extort their money and other effects; which is of late continued and put in practice with the most unheard of cruelties and barbarity that ever was known; especially since the refugees have left Morrisiana, and now getting all they can to carry off with them to Nova-Scotia, where they say are nine months winter, and three of cold weather in the year. They come from New-York and Long Island in the night, and stalk about West Chester in the day, and when night comes on again, they exercise the above recited cruelties; so that the inhabitants dare not lodge in their houses. If these poor people are not speedily relieved, they must fall a sacrifice to the greatest monsters of cruelty on the earth.
The names of some of the chiefs are, Archibald Montgomery, Nathan Hoag, Henry Quail, Abraham Bonker, Archibald Purdy, Jonathan Lovebury, and Stephen Baxter, of Jamaica on Long Island, who has made his boast that he has extorted from the inhabitants to the amount of five hundred guineas for his share.
We hear from Philadelphia that every vessel in the harbour, which displayed English colours, have had them ignominiously torn from them, to retaliate for the flagitious insults offered the flag of the United States.
N E W H A V E N, June 19.
The fleet, with another cargo of Loyalists, which had been for some time preparing to leave New-York, last week fell down to the Hook, and it was expected would sail on Sunday last.
S A L E M, June 26.
"Congress, (says a Philadelphia paper) having no farther occasion for the services and sacrifices of the army, who have sought the battles and secured the independence of their country, have thought proper to grant, unsolicited, the troops of the respective States, a furlough sine die "
