HOUSE of ASSEMBLY.
POUGHKEEPSIE,
Thursday, January 31, 1788.
Agreeable to the order of the day, the House went into a Committee of the whole on the subject of calling a Convention, &c.
Mr. James Livingston, Chairman.
The letter from the Secretary of Congress covering the New Constitution, and the resolve of Congress, were read.
Mr. Benson, who had on Tuesday mentioned certain propositions which he should bring forward, now, produced the same; which was to call a Convention in the precise mode recommended by Congress. He did not know however what number the Convention should consist of, but supposed, if they were as numerous as the members of Assembly, that it would be sufficient.
Mr. Schoonmaker made a motion to strike out the following recital from Mr. Benson's motion: "Whereas the United States in Congress assembled, did, on the 28th day of September last, unanimously resolve, that the report of the Convention of the States lately assembled in Philadelphia, with the letter and resolutions accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several Legislatures, in order to be submitted to a Convention of Delegates chosen in each State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the Convention made and provided in that case, therefore;" and in the room thereof to insert, "Whereas the Senate and Assembly of this State, at their last session, appointed Delegates to meet such Delegates as might be appointed on the part of the other States respectively, on the 2d day of May then next, and now last, at Philadelphia, for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation, and reporting to Congress and the several Legislatures such alterations and provisions therein as shall, when agreed to in Congress, and confirmed by the several Legislatures, render the Federal Constitution adequate to the exigencies of Government and the preservation of the Union. And whereas Delegates from the several States in the Union met in the month of May last, at Philadelphia, for the purpose aforesaid; and have reported their proceedings to the United States in Congress assembled; whereupon Congress on the 28th day of September last, did unanimously resolve, that the report of the Convention of the States lately assembled in Philadelphia, with the resolution and letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several Legislatures in order to be submitted to a Convention of Delegates chosen in each State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the Convention made and provided in that case. And whereas the said Convention of the States, instead of revising and reporting alterations and provisions in the Articles of Confederation, have reported a new Constitution for the United States, which, if adopted, will materially alter the Constitution and Government of this State, and greatly affect the rights and privileges of the people thereof: therefore resolved."
Mr. Benson wished that the reasons might be given why the one recital should take place of the other? There was good reason to support the first, it was according to the
resolution of Congress, and in the mode recommended by the Convention. Indeed he supposed the latter must be followed by another set of resolutions. It was impossible to agree that this recital should precede the resolution offered, as it would be a flagrant violation of common sense. One was by no means a consequence of the other. He wished therefore that the resolutions which were intended to follow might make their appearance. The gentleman he was certain never intended that the one should precede the other. It was not proper to bring matters forward by piece-meal; the resolutions ought to be exhibited, that the business might come fairly before the Committee.
Mr. Schoonmaker informed the Committee that he had not prepared any resolutions. It was sufficient reason for bringing it forward, that it appeared to him necessary. It was certainly a proper one, as it was a state of facts. It informed the people that the Convention had altered the Confederation in such a manner, as greatly to affect their rights, and that it would produce a material change in the Government, which could have but two consequences, the one good, and the other bad. These points were necessary for the people to know, that they might determine for themselves. He had no resolution to bring forward; he had only that recital which was to lay before the people a state of facts not to be contradicted. He did not however wish it to be understood, that he would agree to the resolutions which had been brought in.
Gen. Gordon thought the Committee were out of order; it was the usual mode of doing business, that the resolutions should be first agreed to and then the recital.
Mr. Jones believed that the Committee were in order; it was not a Bill that they were to determine on. He differed from the gentleman who had first spoke on this occasion. It appeared to him that the recital which was proposed, was an exceeding proper one; it in the first instance recited the substance of the resolution by which the Delegates to the Convention had been appointed; in the second, it it was in the very words of Congress; and in the third, it was a statement of facts, which though they do not consist of written testimony, were nevertheless true; he asserted that the Constitution recommended by the Convention, would materially affect the rights of the people; and whether for the better or worse, was not now to be determined. The resolution which in his opinion should follow, would be, "That the papers, &c. be submitted to the people." He could see no reason why they should not.
Sir, said he, the gentleman asks, why this mode of submitting it to the people, and the reasons of bringing forward this recital? With his leave, he thought he could not have taken an accurate view of the business. When the Members of the General Convention were elected, they were authorised only to amend the Confederation and make such provisions and alterations therein, as when confirmed by the United States in Congress assembled, and the respective Legislatures, would be more adequate for the preservation of the Union. It was notorious, he said, that Congress did not think they had power to confirm it, nor did they: they had only recommended it to be submitted to the people. And ought we not, said he, with it to inform the people the grounds on which the Convention have proceeded? That they had gone beyond their powers, and instead of amending the Confederation, had framed a new Constitution. But, had it contained nothing but what Congress could have confirmed, it was still the duty of the Legislature to submit it to the people, who are the sovereign of the land; it was they only who could decide upon it; and to them he was willing to refer it, for their adoption or rejection, as they saw fit.
Mr. Benson would certainly agree, that it should be submitted to the public; this was intended by his proposition. But it ought not to go to them in such a way, as to carry any influence with it. As the motion for amendment stood, it would certainly go from the Legislature with a very dangerous influence. He averred that it would be holding up a very odious idea, as it would say that the Convention had gone beyond their authority. All that the Legislature had to do, was to submit the Constitution to the people, without making any question, whether the Convention had exceeded their authority or not. There was no good could arise from a long detail of the Resolutions, &c. But it was throwing an odium on the members of the Convention, to say that they had gone beyond their powers. He conceived the Legislature were to have no other agency in the business, than merely to comply with the recommendations of Congress. Let the people receive it in the same manner as it had came from Congress. If these things were not intended to give an influence to the business, why were they brought forward? He repeated it again, that the only motive could be to give it an odious im-
pression. This business, he said, had proceeded so far now, that it would avail but little to take this distinction.
Mr. Harrison said he felt himself interested on the present great and important subject. All seemed to be agreed on the grand point, submitting the proposed Constitution to the people; and it should go to them uninfluenced. Let us, said he, examine the propositions now before us. Those brought in by the Hon. Gentleman, and which were mentioned by him a few days since, were impartial, and contained no reflections on any men or any measures. It was not necessary to say any thing about the Confederation, whether it had been revised, amended or altered. And the recital of the propositions comported with the resolution and intention of Congress; this was sufficient reason to let it stand, was there no other. To take up the recital proposed as an amendment, these not only called upon the Legislature to set forth the resolution appointing the delegates, but to declare that the Convention had exceeded their powers; the inference from this would be, that the Legislature disapproved of the measures of the Convention. For his part, he thought it would be improper to enter into a discussion of the merits of the Convention. It must be conceded, he said, that the Federal Government which had barely existed for some time past, was not in a variety of instances, equal to national purposes. The Legislature viewing this, recommended a revival of it. If in the course of revival, alterations were necessary, every one of these alterations must more or less affect the rights of the people. For if the revival of the present Confederation did not contain new powers; what good end could be answered by it? But whether the Convention did right or wrong, was immaterial to the Legislature; the only question before the Committee, was, should it be submitted to the people? And if this was agreed to, ought it not to go to them uninfluenced? They, when assembled in Convention, will take up the business in all its stages; they will see whether their General Convention exceeded their powers or not, and being fully informed, will best decide whether they have, or have not acted for the good of the community. It was sufficient for the Legislature to lay it before the people, that Congress had recommended it, and it ought to go from them in the very express terms in which they had received it. He should therefore vote against the amendment.
Mr. Jones declared that he had no intention to throw any odium on the Convention, or the New Constitution. The recital was a simple detail of facts, which no one could deny; he did not see how this was throwing an odium, and the consequence drawn from them, would be committing this business to the people. By the appointment of the Delegates, they were to amend the Confederation, and make such alterations and provisions therein, as when ratified by Congress and the different Legislatures would render the same adequate to the exigencies and preservation of the Union. Now, said he, Congress did not conceive that they had power to ratify this business, they therefore sent it to the State Legislatures; we having received it, and being without any authority to decide, must submit it to the people; but should not also the circumstances attending it go to the people? He thought it ought to go to them without any influence from the reasoning of any men; and for this purpose every possible information should be communicated. But he did not see how any possible odium could be drawn from it, as the recital contained in the first instance, a simple narration of facts, and that it materially affected the rights and liberties of the people, no man could deny. He should vote for the amendment.
Mr. Benson was persuaded that the amendment was intended to cast an odium either on the Delegates, or the New Constitution. The gentleman last on the floor had declared, that it was brought forward without any intention. On such an interesting occasion as this, he said, the gentleman must excuse him if he did not take his mere declaration. He would not be contented with any man's declarations; he would examine the facts, and the conduct of the gentlemen; and he could not but be persuaded, that the design of the amendment was to throw an odium on the business—could there be any other reason given for it? It was more or less a reflection on a man to send him to do a piece of business, when, on his return, he was told, Sir, you have gone beyond your authority. With respect to the powers of the Convention, it was immaterial to the Assembly; but he would at the same time observe, that he did not admit the assertion to be true. He said, he well remembered that he was in Congress when the resolution for calling a Convention was passed by that Honorable body; and he knew it was the sentiment of every gentleman present, except one or two who were silent, and whose opinions were unknown, that the Convention would have the power to amend, and to alter the Con-
federation. But he wished not to go into the merits of this great question now—it was unnecessary. He repeated it again, he said, that he was persuaded there was an intention either to prejudice the mind of the people, or to make the Constitution odious. Congress had not thought it necessary to tell the Legislatures what resolutions, &c. &c. had been previous to this business; they knew that every man of information in the United States was possessed of the facts; and that, independent of this, it would be improper to give any coloring to the business.
Mr. Schoonmaker said, however odious it might appear to the gentleman, the proposition was still before the Committee. He could say, that it was not his intention to throw any odium on the Constitution, or any gentlemen of the Convention. When he drew the amendment, he confined himself, he said, to a recital of facts, which he had submitted to the Committee. He insisted that it was the right of the people to be informed of all the proceedings; many people were not acquainted with the circumstances; they ought to be informed that it affected their privileges, and would materially affect the Constitution of the State. When they had these facts before them, they could judge for themselves.
While Mr. Schoonmaker was still speaking, and declaring the purity of his motives, and asserting that he contended for the liberties of the people, Mr. Benson rose and said, that the purity of the motives, and the intention of the amendment, were very evident from a resolution at the foot of it. [This was a resolution expressing the disapprobation of the Legislature to the New Constitution.] And tho' it was crossed, it was still expressive of the original design.
Mr. Jones rose. He thought it very unfair to infer any thing from what had been scratched out.
Mr. Benson contended that it was perfectly fair. He did not know what was meant by certain characters coming forward, and making declarations that they had no bad designs, when he had in his hand evidence of their original intentions. People, he said, did not suddenly change their minds on a subject of such magnitude, as the one before the Committee. He repeated it that it was perfectly fair, and if he had any other circumstances to bring forward, he should certainly do it; they were at liberty to examine into his motives and into his conduct. Gentlemen had said that they were contending for the rights and liberties of the people; was he not also contending for the rights of the people? When, therefore, persons came forward as the pretended Champions of the People, it was proper to examine into the purity and integrity of their motives. If the business was sent to the people in the plain simple state in which it came from Congress, it would be the most impartial mode, and most productive of public good.
Mr. Jones regretted that the gentleman should make the debate personal. He asked if it was right—if it was reasonable—and whether the Committee would permit it? He could enumerate many particulars; he could tell what passed, and what was the opinion of people; it would lead to a discussion that would have no end. He did not know what was meant by being a Champion; it was true he had seconded the motion; he had done this, because he thought it was right.
Here the gentlemen were going on, when the Committee was called to order.
Mr. Harrison then rose to speak a few words. He thought that the amendment was improper, because it tended to influence the minds of the people. With regard to the first recital, he thought it must appear to the Committee to be a proper one. It comported with the recommendation of Congress, and was plain and simple. Gentlemen had said, that it was necessary to inform the people; but what were they to be informed of? They were acquainted with every circumstance as fully as the Legislature. The presses had been replete with elegant and well written essays, and this subject publicly discussed in every quarter of the Union. Why then should the resolutions be incumbered with long and unnecessary recitals? He hoped, therefore, that the Committee would reject the amendment, as unnecessary and improper.
A division was then called on the amendment.
Affirmative. Messrs. Jones, Carman, Taulman, J. Smith, Doughty, Wyckoff, Teasdale, Baker, De Witt, Gilbert, Strang, Frey, Webster, Savage, Schoonmaker, J. Cantine, Bruyne, Bloom, Graham, Wisner, Clinton, Tompkins, N. Smith, Drake, Clarke.
Negative. Messrs. Winant, Niven, Sylvester, Gansevoort, Patterson, Speaker, Van Ingen, Arent, Gordon, Tillotson, Powers, P. Cantine, Benson, Hedges, Osborn, Sands, Low, Verplank, Sickles, Younglove, Brooks, John Livingston, Lewis, Harrison, Havens, Winn, Van Orden.
  Affirmative 25   Negative 27   Majority —2 

Mr. Jones then made a motion to amend the first resolution, by adding "for their free investigation, discussion, and decision."
Mr. Benson wished to know the reason for this motion.
Mr. Jones said it was submitted to the people by the resolution, but it did not say for what purpose.
Mr. Benson supposed that whenever any thing was submitted to a man, it was for his free investigation, discussion, and decision; to add these words would be a reflection on Congress; it would appear as if they had sent to the States a vague and undefined resolution, which the Assembly of New-York were obliged to explain and amend. He insisted that it was wrong, and confining the resolution to the very words of the recommendation of Congress, was the only way in which the New Constitution ought to be submitted to the people. The amendment was of the same import with the one the Committee had rejected, and he trusted that they would reject this one also.
Question was called for. Affirmative. —Messrs. Jones, Carman, Taulman, Doughty, Wyckoff, Baker, Paterson, De Witt, Gilbert, Straug, Fry, Webster, Schoonmaker, J. Cantine, Bruyne, Bloom, Wisner, Clinton, Tompkins, Havens, N. Smith, Drake, Clarke.
Negative. —Messrs. Winant, Niven, J. Smith, Sylvester, Gansevoort, Teasdale, Speaker, Van Orden, Van Ingen, Arnet, Gordon, Tillotson, Powers, Savage, P. Cantine, Benson, Hedges, Osborn, Graham, Sands, Low, Verplank, Sickles, Younglove, Brooks, John Livingston, Lewis, Harrison, Winn.

Mr. CHILDS. A Friend of Mr. M'Clenachan requests you to insert the following order of Judge Hobart in the Daily Advertiser. It will thereby appear, that Archibald Blair was the cause of the late advertisement; and that Mr. M'Clenachan, the moment he could have notice of this proceeding, gave bail to abide the event of any suit which this pretended creditor may think proper to bring against him in any Court of this State.
By the Honorable JOHN SLOSS HOBART , Esquire, one of the (L.S.) Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New-York.
To the Sheriff of the City and County of New-York, Greeting.
WHEREAS Archibald Blair, of the city of New-York, merchant, lately, to wit, on the twenty-fifth day of January last past, made oath before me, the said John Sloss Hobart, that Blair M'Clenachan, late of the city of Philadelphia, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but at present residing at or near Germantown, in the said Commonwealth, merchant, was indebted unto him, the said Archibald Blair, in the sum of forty pounds current money of the said State and upwards, and did, at the same time, make proof, to my satisfaction, by the oaths of two witnesses, that the said Blair M'Clenachan did reside out of this State: And whereas I did thereupon, and by virtue of the powers given me by an Act of the Legislature of this State, entitled, "An act for relief against absconding and absent debtors," passed the 4th day of April, 1786, issue my warrant of attachment to you the said Sheriff, and did thereby command you to attach, seize, take and safely keep all the estate, as well real as personal, of the said Blair M'Clenachan, in whatever part of your bailiwick they might be found, with all evidences, books of account, vouchers, and papers, relating thereto; And whereas since the issuing of the attachment aforesaid and before the appointment of Trustees in the manner in the said act prescribed, the said Blair M'Clenachan hath applied to me and given such security as I have directed and approved of to the said Archibald Blair, at whose instance the said warrant issued, to appear and plead to any suit or action to be brought by the said Archibald Blair against the said Blair M'Clenachan, in any Court of Law or Equity in this State within six months from the date hereof, and to pay all such sums as may be adjudged or decreed in any such suit or action, whereby the said Blair M'Clenachan hath become entitled to a supersedeas to the warrant of attachment aforesaid.
Now therefore I command you, the said Sheriff, that you do totally & forthwith desist from attaching, seizing, taking or keeping, all or any part of the real or personal estate of the said Blair M'Clenachan, or all or any of the evidences, books or accounts, vouchers, and papers, relating thereto by reason of the warrant of attachment aforesaid; and if you have already attached, seized, or taken any of the real or personal
estate of the said Blair M'Clenachan, or any of the evidences, books of account, vouchers, or papers thereunto belonging, by occasion of the warrant of attachment aforesaid, and not otherwise; then I do further command you, that you do forthwith deliver the same to the said Blair M'Clenachan at your peril, my warrant of attachment to you directed as aforesaid, notwithstanding. And for your so doing, these presents and the act aforesaid, shall be unto you a sufficient authority.
Given under my hand and seal at the City of New-York, the ninth day of February, in the year of our Lord, 1788, and of our Independence the twelfth. JOHN SLOSS HOBART , B. LIVINGSTON, Atty.
