AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF LETTERS FROM THE FEDERAL FARMER TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

This stage will leave Powles Hook at seven o'clock, and Philadelphia at eight o'clock every morning (except Saturday and Sunday) and proceed with the same speed as the early stage.
The expense of the stage to each passenger will be Three Spanish Milled Dollars from Powles-Hook to Philadelphia, and Four-pence per mile for all way passengers. One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same as a passenger—Fourteen weight of baggage gratis.

New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-Street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile.
No racing allowed in this line.

MISCELLANY.
A bill for the more effectual PREVENTION of peace of mind, and health of body; also, for the more speedy DESTRUCTION of public tranquility, and domestic happiness, in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, first printed in Worcester, Massachusetts, 1785.
WHEREAS it is manifest that there are many persons in these states, who clandestinely and privately cultivate peace of mind, and health of body, to the great danger of anarchy and disease:
And whereas health and peace of mind are attended with the most baneful effects towards public fashions, follies, and vices, disappointing ambition, preventing agreeable engagements, and promoting the rude and unfashionable pleasures of domestic tranquility:
And whereas soundness of mind, acuteness of perception, quick memory, calmness of thought, and diligence of attention, have been, and are still liable to be created, promoted, and increased, to the utter subversion of all that is grand, polite, or tono :
Be it therefore enacted, by and with the consent of all that is absurd or ridiculous in these states, that all persons whatsoever shall in future hold themselves bound, by the regulation forthwith to be mentioned and contained in this act; and prejudices, customs, or laws to the contrary notwithstanding.
And whereas a belief in christianity is attended with the most pernicious consequences to profligates, rakes, gamblers, dealers in whores, oaths, and dice, creating a suspicion of the rectitude of such practices, and often frightening weak people into apprehensions and timidity unworthy of the characteristical spirit of the age.
Be it therefore enacted, That no person shall presume to speak or write in favor of religion, but that he shall have full liberty and power to use tongue, pen and example; provided always that he treat every thing sacred, particularly Providence and the Holy Scriptures, with the highest possible degree of contempt and scorn; that the powers of eloquence, of genius, and ridicule be employed for the said purpose, in all companies, and on all occasions.
And be it further enacted, That the books commonly called the Sacred Scriptures, together with the clergy, and the pious of all denominations, shall be the established laughing stocks; and that a kind and degree of merit, shall be affixed to him, who shall be most successful in turning every thing sacred into ridicule.
And whereas a certain undescribable something, called conscience, has been found on many occasions to counteract the regulations proposed in this bill, it shall be allowed fit, convenient and proper to prove, that is assert, that it is highly absurd, contemptible, and mean, for any man to listen to any monitor which cannot be seen, or proved to exist; and that for the more effectual destruction of this undescribable something, the usual means of promiscuous and riotous company shall be used, in whatever degree may be found most convenient.
Provided always, and be it enacted, That as age increases, and the power of active vice become weakened, when death stares men in the face, and worldly things begin to decay, it shall be lawful for any man to continue the same temper and disposition on all occasions, both in company, on the bed, and at the
gibbet, without any symptoms of fear or doubt.
And whereas high health, and good spirits are in compatible with a perfect knowledge of the world, and are liable to be promoted by an attention to sobriety, lawful occupations, by matrimony, love of duty and other means.
Be it therefore enacted, That all the laws formerly passed to this effect, be carried into immediate and strict execution, and that drinking to excess be prompted by every allurements from company, levity, wantonness, and wickedness; and that connexions with prostituted women be continued, without the idle distinctions of decency, or the fear of loathsom and incurable distempers; and that drinking and incontinence shall allow of no intermission, unless for three or four hours in the early part of the day; provided that those hours employed in devising new modes of fashionable employment, for the subsequent part of the day.
And whereas there are some persons who audaciously and impertinently do find fault with the aforesaid plan of life.
Be it further enacted, That all such impertinent and audacious persons shall be accounted fools, and in all companies, and on every occasion, be requested to go to the devil; and in case there shall appear a probability of bringing them over to a proper opinion, the usual modes shall be employed and continued, until they produce the accustomed effects.
And whereas persons of few years, and just removed from school, or under the directions of their parents, may have acquired principles of virtuous education, to preserve such principles throughout life, to the great hindrance and absolute destruction of the provisions made in this bill;
Be it therefore enacted, That every means shall be employed to shake, disturb, and destroy such principles of early education, by perplexing the mind with doubts of self evident truths; by raising scruples where there did not exist a suspicion before, by entwisting ridicule with a specious and artful jargon, in imitation of reasoning; by applying to the natural love of ingenuity; by branding seriousness with the name of hypocrisy, to which the youthful mind is particularly averse, by exhibiting the scenes of pleasure which are inviting to the warm passions of youth; and, finally by intoxication.
Provided always, and be it enacted, That in all this course of seduction, the proper name of any vice or folly shall never be mentioned; that adultery shall be gallantry; drunkenness a species of good nature; gaming an harmless amusement, and infidelity a proof of a manly spirit.
And whereas nothing can be so contemptible as that conduct which is honest and proper in all situations of life, and under every difficulty.
Be it enacted, That it shall be lawful and proper for all persons to lie where they suppose they can escape detection; to steal by the usual methods of gambling; to defraud their neighbors and connexions in every possible manner; to murder, provided they can effect the purpose by the public custom of a duel, and lastly, to hang themselves, or cut their own throats.
Provided always, and be it enacted, That such persons were under no temptation to do all this, having previously a competence; and pro-
vided they had a tender wife, mother or father, to whom their conduct may give unspeakable sorrow.
And whereas many parents, guardians, uncles, and aunts, have of late, in violation of the laws of sentiment, curbed and restrained the inclinations of their children, or wards, in the article of marriage:
Be it therefore enacted, that all young ladies shall, after the age of twelve years, have full power and controul over their parents and guardians; that their parents and guardians shall not dare, or presume, on any account, to contradict them on any occasion, whether in private or public, whatever their whims or humours may be; that they shall be permitted to go where they please, dress how they please, see whom they please, and read what they please; that in case of their placing vitiated affections on any servant, whether footman, groom, postilion, or any other person unworthy of them, no resistance whatever shall be made by their parents or guardians; that no parents or guardians shall presume to offer advice, or remonstrance, or dare to utter the smallest censure, or in any manner whatsoever offer to oppose the obstinacy, or remove the ignorance of their wards.
And be it further enacted, That all young ladies shall enjoy the full use of sentiment, and in case of being plagued by their parents or friends shall have liberty to give as much uneasiness as possible to such parents, by running away with some person of low birth, and lower merit, and, in case such parents and guardians are very urgent in their remonstrances, young ladies thus teized and tormented, may hang, drown, or poison themselves; provided always, that in such cases they have an affectionate mother, or father, whose grey hairs may by this means be brought to the grave with sorrow.
And whereas, owing to the natural abstinence of the fair sex from wines and intoxicating liquors, as well as from other indulgences, permitted in the other sex, it has happened that good health and beauty of person are promoted by such abstinence.
Be it further enacted, That companies do continue dancing until late in the night, in order that complaints of the breast and lungs may be caught by sudden exposition to cold air after being over-heated, and that the dress of the head and breast be contrived accordingly, and that they shall continue until late at cards, or other games of hazard, in order that the vicissitudes of gaming may distort their countenances as well as their minds, and that pale looks, and nervous habits being acquired, every assistance be taken from washes, powders, paint, and other means usually applied to hide the defects of nature, and the consequences of irregularity.
And whereas the continuance of public tranquility very much depends on the continuance of public temperance, and as public tranquility and temperance are not reconcilable with the views of a numerous body of persons in these states:
Be it therefore enacted, That every species of luxury, ever so unmeaning or destructive, be encouraged; that a particular preference be given to rank, riches and impudence, over merit and poverty; that nothing shall be ridiculous or vicious but what is unfashionable; and that anarchy be promoted by falsehoods of all kinds, provided private interest may be served thereby; that boldness, prevarication, decla-
mation, and corruption, shall prevail over reason, and that the good nature and good sense of men of common understandings shall be imposed upon, and deluded by unintelligible and perplexing sophistries.
And be it further enacted, That this act be deemed and taken to be a public act, and shall be taken notice of as such by all men whatsoever, without specially pleading the same.

Lexington, June 23, 1788.
Upon the reception of the important and agreeable news, that the convention of New-Hampshire had acceded to the federal constitution, Capt. Brown, with his artillery company, met, and after performing a number of military manœuvres, with their usual exactness, a discharge of nine cannon was given, in honor of the nine states which have adopted the constitution. A federal salute was then given, after which the following toasts were drank:
 1. The state of New-Hampshire.  2. The United States in Congress.  3. Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  4. Governor Hancock.  5. His excellency John Adams, esq. our late ambassador.  6. General Washington.  7. The King of France.  8. the Marquis de la Fayette.  9. The arts and sciences.  10. Agriculture.  11. The Freedom of the Press.  12. May the ever-memorable Nineteenth of April, 1775, be remembered by Lexington.  13. Our worthy brethren who fell on the nineteenth of April, 1775. 
PHILADELPHIA, July 3.
Every humane person must applaud the charity and benevolence of the butchers in purchasing two fine oxen, and collecting a sum of money for the use of the poor, to afford them an opportunity of uniting in the festivity of the present auspicious occasion. It is hoped that this happy idea will be improved upon, and that the surplus of the money collected to defray the expences of the proposed entertainment will be applied to the relief of the distressed. Some hundreds of pounds must remain beyond all necessary disbursements—and it could not be appropriated in any way more popular or laudable.
It is recommended to such of the bodies of artisans as have not yet had their coats of arms finished, that they alter and improve on those used in Britain. An American should spurn at the idea of being a servile copyist of manners, customs, habits, &c. This idea has been already adopted by the fugar refiners, printers, bookbinders, &c.
Extract of a letter from Richmond, June 26.
The amendments proposed in our convention for the consideration of the first Congress under the new adopted government are, chiefly, that the state shall have power to collect its own taxes, and pay Congress by requisitions; and it is expected they will pass the convention without opposition. Many of the Federal party being equally interested with the Anti's in the objects of them—though many fears are entertained of the new Congress not acceding to these amendments—and such are the apprehensions of the holders of military certificates, finding the certain resource, in their own revenue, for the payment of the annual interest, likely to be superceded by a national establishment, that is uncertain in its operations and remote in its effects, that they are already selling out at a lower price than when the constitution was agitating. The convention we think will break up to-morrow—and on the next day we shall have a general rejoicing.
The intended procession for 4th of July, we hear, will be altogether Federal. No state emblems are to be introduced into it. Ten respectable gentlemen, at the head of whom is General Mifflin, are appointed to preserve order. A short account of the progress of the revolution will be given on flags, which are to be carried by citizens, on horseback.—Mr. Wilson will deliver an oration suitable to the great subject of the day, immediately after the procession arrives at the green prepared for the reception of the company, which will be near Mr. Hamilton's house, who has politely offered his grounds for the purpose.
New-York, July 5.
YESTERDAY arrived his Britannic Majesty's Packet Roebuck, Captain Britton, in 56 days from Falmouth, sixteen of which from Halifax. The papers brought by the Packet do not afford intelligence so late, by several days, as has been received.
ANNIVERSARY.
Yesterday, the anniversary of the American INDEPENDENCE was commenced by ringing of bells; and, agreeably to previous arrangements, there was a parade of the light-horse, artillery, and uniformed infantry, the whole commanded by Col. Lewis, at 6 o'clock in the morning. At 12h. the corporation waited upon the president of Congress, to whom the recorder made a polite speech, which was replied to by the president. At this hour 13 guns were fired from the battery. At one o'clock the honorable society of the Cincinnati, with Col. DUER, the orator of the day, escorted by the corps of artillery, proceeded from the City-Hall, to St. Paul's Church, where a large concourse of people of all ranks and degrees had assembled. Here the auditory was addressed by the honorable Orator, after a long exordium, in strains we attempt not to describe. As the DECLARATION of AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE was the glorious event to be commemorated on this occasion, no one will doubt, but that the abilities, the acquired rhetorical proficiency, and the oratorical ingenuity of Col. DUER, were sufficient amply to grace the theme.
After the oration was over, the honorable society of the Cincinnati, under the same escort, proceeded to the mansion of his excellency the president of Congress, who was congratulated on the joyous occasion, and a salute of 13 guns fired in honor of the day. Here an elegant collation was provided for the foreign ministers, the corporation, the Cincinnati, the militia, the artillery, and all sorts of persons.
From hence the procession moved down Queen-street, and up Wall-street, to the City-tavern in Broad-way, where the military were dismissed, and the Society of the Cincinnati partook of an elegant entertainment, where the following toasts were drank:
 1. The United States.  2. The states which have ratified the new constitution.  3. His Most Christian Majesty.  4. The state of New-York.  5. Our brethren of the Cincinnati.  6. Major-General Baron Steuben, President of the Society.*  7. The memory of all who have fallen in defence of American liberty.  8. The fair friends of the Cincinnati.  9. General Washington, President-General of the Society of the Cincinnati.  10. Wisdom to our Convention, and may they pursue the true interest of our country.  11. The 7th of October, 1777.  12. The 19th of October, 1781.  13. The Day. 
* The President and Vice-President being absent General Knox was placed in the chair.
At this annual meeting of the Cincinnati the following appointments took place:—President, Major-General Baron Steuben, Vice-President, Col. Alex. Hamilton. Treasurer, Capt. Richard Platt, Assistant Treasurer, Capt. Ed. Dunscomb. Secretary, Capt. John Stagg, jun.
Delegates to the General Society. Major-General Baron Steuben, Brigadier General Samuel B. Webb, Colonel William S. Smith, Col. Brockholst Livingston, Brigadier-General Matthew Clarkson.
Those officers of the brigade, and corps of artillery (who are not members of the Cincinnati) partook of a sumptuous repast, at Beekman's-hall, in Cortland-street; at this festival the following toasts were given:
 1. The day, and all who honor it.  2. The United States.  3. The Commander in Chief and the State.  4. The King and Royal Family of France.  5. Our European Allies.  6. General Washington and the late American army.  7. Count Rochambeau, and the army who fought under his command for the liberties of America.  8. The memory of all the faithful and brave sons of Columbia, who have fallen in support of the independence which we this day celebrate.  9. The Convention of this State.  10. Our Ministers at foreign courts.  11. The Plough and Sail.  12. Perpetual peace and prosperity.  13. The militia of this state. 
We are informed, that the Cincinnati sent a deputation to congratulate the company, at Beekman's, upon this auspicious occasion, which was returned with equal warmth. This deputation gave rise to another toast, which was, "The Society of the Cincinnati."
The several military corps, on this occasion, never appeared more to advantage: their graceful manœuvres, and truly martial appearance, caused emotions of gratitude and applause.
It affords a peculiar satisfaction to add, that the greatest harmony and good will subsisted throughout the day; that at eve falling 13 guns from the battery closed the festival; and
In the evening a brilliant assembly of ladies honored the President and his lady with their company.
We learn, that on the evening before last a warrant was issued for the apprehending a certain Capt. Hatfield, of whom our fellow citizens have doublets heard much talk, about the year 1782. The particulars of this prosecution we have not learned. The officer, however, ill succeeded in the execution of his mission, being repulsed with vehemence, which, it seems, with the obscurity that reigned at the instant, fully effected his rescue from the hands of justice. Particulars of this affair, so far as they may be interesting, shall be given as soon as possible.

THE APPLE-TREE TO THE FOUR SEASONS.
To SPRING. HAIL lovely Spring, in you I'm grandly drest, My branches flourish and my blossom's blest; My extended boughs a soft melodious fear, The feather'd convent's blooming sweet retreat.
To SUMMER. In you sweet season, is my blossom flown, My tender bud to verdure's fully grown, My fruit is far advanc'd, for autumn's mow, And ripeness is display'd from bough to bough.
To AUTUMN. Ah! Autumn, now of beauties I'm divest, Robb'd of the garment of my tow'ring crest; And when bright Sol has scarcely power to warm, You leave me naked thus to brunt the storm.
To WINTER. Now harsh Winter blow thy impetuous wind, Still to the blast my uncloth'd top you'll find, Deaf to thy roaring, insensible of thy sting, As one asleep, I'll waken in the spring.

The Miscellaneous Works
OF PHILIP FRENEAU.
Containing his Essays and additional Poems.
THIS second volume of our Ame- rican Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and sat- ire, flow in copious strains.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH,
Attempted from the GERMAN of Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
TO those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to becommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all; with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detesta- tion and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a hum- ble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteem- ed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Re- gained, though far from being destitute of merit is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that un- bounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.

ORDERS are just received, by the printer here- of, to sell these Maps at a much cheaper rate than they have yet been sold. The plates were cut and the impressions taken in London, and there sold (without the pamphlet) at One Guinea each.
To accompany this map, and explanatory of it with references to it, will be sold, included in the price of the map, a pamphlet, containing 67 large octavo pages, with plates and figures, entitled, a Topographical Description of Virginia, Penn- sylvania, Maryland, and North-Carolina, compre- hending the rivers Ohio, Kenhawa, Sioto, Chero- kee, Wabash, Illinois, Mississippi, &c. The cli- mate, soil, and produce, whether animal, vegeta- ble, or mineral; the mountains, creeks, roads, distances, latitudes, &c. and of every part, laid down in the Map.
By THOMAS HUTCHINS, Esq. Late Captain and Engineer in the British army, and now Geographer General to the United States of America. With a plan of the rapids of the Ohio, a plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, a table of the distances between Fort Pit and the mouth of the Ohio, all engraved upon copper.—And an Appendix, containing Mr. Pa- trick Kennedy's Journal up the Illinois river, and a correct list of the different nations and tribes of Indians, with the number of fighting men, &c.
Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY.
THE Illinois country is in general of a superior soil to any other part of North America that I have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar, mulberry trees, &c. Some dying roots and medicinal plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and in the year 1769, one hundred and ten hogheads of strong wine, were made by the French settlers, from their grapes. A large quantity of sugar is also annually made from the juice of the maple tree; and as the mulberry trees are large and nu- merous, I presume the making of silk will employ the attention and industry of the settlers, when the country is more fully inhabited than it is at present, and especially as the winters are much more mode- rate and favourable for the breed of silk worms, than they are in many of the sea coast provinces. Indigo may likewise be successfully cultivated— (but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat, teas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every sort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of the old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois, both for their own consumption and that of the Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any quantity may be cultivated. Flax seed has hither- to been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be sown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits suc- ceed admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in dif- ferent parts of this territory. The two latter are worked on the Spanish side of the Mississippi, with considerable advantage to the owners. There is plenty of fish in the rivers, particularly Cat, Carp, and Perch, of an uncommon size.—Savannahs, or natural meadows, are both numerous and exten- sive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffalo, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkies, pheasants, partridges, &c. such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in the greatest variety and abundance.—In short, every thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
