The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land; the Land has been well manured with ashes; the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial fence.

For the Daily Advertiser.
ADDRESS to the People of KING'S COUNTY, Long-Island.
THE very important subject, the New Federal Constitution, which has already engaged the attention of the people, in several of the sister States, will soon be submitted to a Convention of the people of the State of New-York. It is admitted by all parties, that no subject equally interesting, has ever been deliberated on by the people of the Western world: If this be true (and where is the man who will dispute it) how much does it behove you to give it such a share of your consideration, as will induce you to reflect on the probable consequences of its adoption or rejection by this State. It is not my intention to enter into a detail of the many advantages which may reasonably be expected to result from the adoption of this Government; nor is it in the least necessary for me to do so. Difficulties not less ample than satisfactory, have teemed from every press on the Continent; nor will it be thought presumptuous, if I say, those of our own State have done particular honor to the subject. It may, however, be remarked, that the present temper, which generally prevails from one end of the Continent to the other, in some measure speaks the happiness which the people fondly anticipate from the operation of it. Not all the efforts of its most strenuous enemies, have been able to delude the people so far, as to prevent its adoption by any one State, who in Convention has deliberated on it. Deception, (blessed be God) has nearly lost its efficacy, and threats can no longer intimidate.
I am very sensible, while addressing you at this time, that (active and industrious as you are, in the pursuit of your several avocations) there are few amongst you, who have leisure or disposition, to employ any part of your time in reflecting on the present state of our country; and of the calamities which seem only to be suspended, but which Heaven itself, is mercifully disposed to avert, if we will have virtue enough, to profit by its apparent interposition. I know also, well, (for I am not unacquainted with your tempers,) that many of you will be ready to say; what avails this address to us? Of what consequence are we on such a subject? What can we do, to give efficacy to such measures as may be judged proper for the people at large? Or even admitting, that we had some weight, it is a matter of little moment to us, whether we live under one form of Government or another. Safety to our persons, and security to property honestly acquired, is all we wish to enjoy, or hope to obtain. Sentiments like these, I know you are fond of indulging, and you triumph in the satisfaction with which they appear to furnish you;—but be not deceived, you are of more importance than your native modesty will permit you to assume; you have been estimated so, else much pains would not have been taken to suck you within the vortex of insatiate power. The pride and vanity of a few leading men of your County, as well as those adjoining, has been gratified, in order to fit them more effectually for the accomplishment of designs, ultimately destructive even of their own happiness, as well as yours. The times require that I be explicit. You are nourishing an interest in your bosoms, which if not destroyed, will ere long prey upon your vitals, and
which, in spite of your industry and economy, will, by its operation, extort from you all the advantages of your enviable situation. At this moment you are the devoted creatures of the G*****r; made so by his inimitable management in selecting such among you, as are calculated to mould you to his purposes. I beseech you, my friends, look at your humiliating situation. Will you allow yourselves to continue the dupes of Sycophants, who would trifle with your best interests, for the honor of smoking a pipe of tobacco with a great man? Will you make no exertion to effect the establishment of a Government, which, by the blessing of God, promises to give permanency to peace; encouragement to industry; and security to property; by laws, not made for the few, but for all? Such a Government is now within our reach, as is fully adequate to these glorious purposes, and it is well worth contending for.
Rouse then from that unconcerned torpor, which appears to have seized you; shake off without hesitation, that baneful influence which has laid such fast hold of the County; say, that you will think for yourselves; that you are resolved to knock off the shackles of those ambitious men, who owe their own power, to their talents of deceiving the people.
Methinks I see many of you rise with honest indignation, and with fervor exclaim, What, is this our abject condition! Are we unwittingly made slavish instruments, for the iron hands of power to make mischief with! It is high time to look round us. But what shall we; what can we do? Now this is coming to the point, and I will tell you in a few words, what I honestly believe, will extricate you from all your difficulties.
A Convention will be chosen in April to decide whether the new plan of Government submitted to the people of America shall be adopted or rejected by this State. This is a business of infinite moment to the Union, to this State, and to yourselves in a proportionate degree. Already six States have given it solemn ratification, and it is worthy of your reflection, that we are surrounded on all sides by enterprising people, who view the conservation of the Union as the only means of happiness to America; should we defeat their patriotic design by selfishly and unreasonably rejecting the proffered Constitution, I shudder at the probable (I might have said) the certain consequences which will ensue. Look about them without loss of time for two honest, thick-skinned, independent freeholders, to represent you in Convention; be governed as much as may be in your choice, by the policy on this subject, which predominates in the city of New-York; be persuaded that your interest is inseparably connected with that of the city, and be assured at the same time, that a general energetic Government is best calculated for both, and that they are enemies to your prosperity, whether they know it or not, who maintain the contrary.—Your present Representatives in Assembly have abused their trust; by their late vote in the Legislature, they attempted to deprive you even of the power of deliberating without passion and prejudice on this great concern. Dismiss them therefore from your service; they are unworthy of your confidence. To say nothing of their abilities, they are both (the B—yne member particularly) under the absolute Government of the Queen's County member, S — I J — s, who, by the address of the G — r, has been made an active tool to serve the interests of his own party. On this occasion, I do not presume to offer a nomination of such as I deem worthy of your suffrages. I only intreat you to beware of that insidious influence which will very probably creep under various disguises among you when you take this important business up. Caution and cunning will be practised, which must be opposed by steadiness and circumspection. I have no words to express how much I think it concerns you to make a judicious election for this Convention. "If you shew wisdom in this instance, you can scarcely err on any political subject in future. I offer no apology for calling your attention to this address, nor it very material from whence it comes. I must acknowledge however, that it is dictated by a spirit which while it sincerely avows a friendly intention towards the solid advantages of the County, is at the same time actuated by motives of a selfish nature." I frankly own that I am personally interested in the prosperity of it, and will never knowingly suffer any political manœuvring to be practised among the well-meaning part of the people (which I have substantial reasons to believe will prove hostile to their future happiness) without giving them timely intimations of it. If there is more matter disclosed in this address than may be palatable to a few characters, my only apology to them must be, that the necessities of our situation make it indispensable.
If the people of King's County profit by it, my end is answered; for myself I have no personal fear nor private interest in view, other than a common share as an unimportant individual of the great whole, and the
only reward which I solicit from you for this paper is, that you will, before you throw it aside, have the goodness to read it twice.
King's County, Feb. 16, 1788.
New-York, Feb. 20.
A London Paper of Nov. 22, has the following:—"The American Convention meets with great opposition in that country, where there are many untoward spirits and contentions who know not what they want, and have grown licentious for want of a regular Government—another fruit of the untimely Independence they were taught to contend for, before they foresaw the consequences."
HOUSE of ASSEMBLY, P O U G H K E E P S I E, Monday, February 11.
[Continued.] The Attorney General, to whom had been referred the petition of Israel Honeywell, reported a state of facts, which with the said petition, were committed to a Committee of the whole House.
Mr. Jones moved for leave, and brought in a Bill for complying with the act of the United States in Congress assembled, of the 21st of March, 1787; which was read a first time and ordered a second reading.
Then the House adjourned till 10 o'clock to-morrow morning.
Tuesday, February, 12.
The House met pursuant to adjournment. Read a second time and committed, the Bill for granting a bounty on hemp; and the Bill for complying with the act of the United States in Congress assembled of the 21st of March, 1787.
Read a third time, and passed the Bill for enabling the Mayor, Alderman and Commonality of the city of New-York, to raise a certain sum of money for the purposes therein mentioned.
A petition from a number of inhabitants of Ulster County, praying to be paid for sundry services rendered the State, during the late war; was read and referred to Messrs. Sands, Havens and Powers.
The House went again into a Committee on the Bill for the limitation of actions and suits at Law:
Mr. Carman in the Chair.
The Bill having been gone through and amended, the Committee rose and reported the same, when it was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
The House went into a Committee on the Bill for giving relief on promissory notes:
Mr. Cornwell in the Chair.
The Committee having gone through the Bill, rose and reported the same: when it was ordered to be engrossed.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had receded from their amendment, to the Bill concerning Courts of Oyer and Terminer, and Gaol Delivery.

Mr. Hedges in the Chair.

Wednesday, February 13.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
The Bill to regulate the exportation of flax-seed and lumber:
The Bill to prevent excessive and deceitful gaming:
The Bill for giving relief on promissory notes: and,
The Bill concerning privilege, were read a third time and passed the House.
On motion of Mr. Thompson, the House went into a Committee on the Bill for granting a bounty on hemp:
Mr. Hedges in the Chair.
Mr. Jones doubted the propriety of this Bill; it appeared to him, that there would be the same reason for giving a bounty on flax, wool, &c. He did not believe that it had caused a single ton more to be raised, than if there had been no bounty. He also objected to the manner in which the bounty was to be paid, to wit, out of the Treasury. He was willing, however, that all the tax that could be collected from imported hemp, should be appropriated as a bounty. In order to go more fully into the business; he wished the Committee to rise, that the members might have some time for consideration.
The Committee accordingly rose and reported the progress.
A message was received from the Senate, with a Bill for concurrence, for the relief of Charles Moore, which was read a first time, and ordered a second reading.
Mr. Sands moved for leave and brought in a Bill to regulate the exportation of butter and hogs lard; which was read a first time, and ordered a second reading.
The Bill concerning distresses, and for the more easy recovery and security of rents; and to prevent frauds by tenants, was read a third time, and passed the House.
On motion of Mr. Jones, the House went into a Committee on the Bill directing the manner of proving deeds and conveyances to be recorded.
Mr. Patterson in the Chair.
The committee having gone through the Bill, rose and reported the same, when it was ordered to be engrossed.
The House went into a committee on the Bill to prevent fraud by mortgages, and for securing the purchasers of mortgaged estates.
Mr. John Smith in the Chair.
The committee made some progress in the Bill, when they rose and reported accordingly.
Mr. Verplanck, from the committee to whom was referred the petition of John Ramsay and others, praying to be paid for a number of cannon taken from them in the commencement of the late war, reported that the prayer thereof ought to be granted, and a clause added to some proper Bill for that purpose.
Mr. Jones thought it would be wrong to agree to this report, but wished the Committee to take it back, giving them leave to bring forward a bill or a clause, when a proper Bill came before the House. Here remarked on the circumstances of the petition, that the facts were well known, but that the State ought not to pay for those cannon, merely because they removed them from New-York, to keep them out of the hands of the enemy; and that they were then for the use of the United States; and that some of them were sent to the State of Connecticut.
[To be continued.]
To the ELECTORS of the City and County of New-York.
Friends and Fellow Citizens,
THE several States which have appointed Conventions for the consideration of the Federal Constitution, have generally deputed their most dignified and important characters as members, under the impression that their abilities can never be more usefully employed in the service of their country: We should certainly be influenced by the same considerations, as far as the known principles and opinions of the parties, or this most important question will justify.
As the object of deliberation is definite, and every elector, perhaps has, by this time, made up his mind on the subject; we are rather to nominate those who coincide with us in opinion, than to chuse on the score of general abilities: But still, a preference is undoubtedly due, where abilities are united with integrity, and a hearty concurrence in sentiment.
Under these convictions, I hold up to your consideration, a nomination in which all the foregoing requisites are included; and in which the several interests of the communities are equally represented, viz.
Chancellor Livingston, Chief Judge Morris,
As the heads of the departments of law & equity, must be supposed the most proper and competent judges of the judicial subjects; and to whose revision the constitution of the State submits all her laws.
James Duane, Esq.
Being the chief magistrate of the metropolis of the State, and of unquestionable abilities.
John Jay, Esq.
From his long services abroad and at home, and the nature of his present office as minister of foreign affairs, must be supposed to possess the best information of any man in the United States, on our relative situation with foreign nations.
Alexander Hamilton, Esq.
Whose presence and information will be essentially necessary, to counteract the anti-federal efforts of his less faithful colleagues to the Federal Convention.
Isaac Roosevelt, and Nichs. Low, Esq'rs.
Well qualified by probity, information and property, to represent the mercantile interest, and already distinguished by their fellow-citizens, as their representatives in senate and assembly.
Wm. Gilbert and Anthony Post, Esq'rs.
In whose knowledge and abilities, the mechanic interest may place a firm reliance.
As unanimity was perhaps never more important than at this moment, it may be worthy of remark, that those are very little qualified to effect the work of conciliation and gain proselytes, who, requiring an unlimited submission to their opinions, are accustomed to urge their arguments rather by ridicule than reason, which often hurts the feelings of the candid, and ex-

cites an opposition from principles of resentment; an effect which has been known to result from the conduct of some who have been held up in former nominations.

Mr. CHILDS, IN your paper of yesterday, it appears that Blair M'Clenachan has entered bail to my attachment against his property; the author of the piece mentions me as a pretended creditor; my demand is JUST, and such as will fully appear upon INVESTIGATION, and I am at all times ready for trial, unconnected with party or colleague: Now it may not be amiss to mention, that although the act for relief against absconding and absent debtors, requires proof to be made of only 40l. and upwards being due; my claim is upwards of 800l. specie, and in pursuance of my late attachment, I have brought Blair M'Clenachan from Pennsylvania, so far as has enabled me to institute an action against and hold him to bail here, therefore the suit is still going forward against him; which he could repeatedly have prevented by coming to a fair settlement, being frequently solicited by letter for that purpose, ever since the 30th day of June, 1786. The letters he never answered, but of late returned them unopened. Now I leave the public to decide on the rectitude of my proceedings: It appears they were far from being desirable on my part; but time and circumstances rendered them unavoidable; and as the only method I had of obtaining redress, without being under the necessity of making a journey to Pennsylvania. The pretended Friend and Colleague of Blair M'Clenachan, is William Neilson, who, in mentioning in his piece of the 11th current, the word pretended, has wantonly strayed from the truth, as usual.
