THE FEDERALIST, No. L.
To the People of the State of New-York.
TO what expedient then shall we finally resort for maintaining in practice the necessary partition of power among the several departments, as laid down in the Constitution?
In order to lay a due foundation for that separate and distinct exercise of the different powers of Government, which to a certain extent, is admitted on all hands to be essential to the preservation of liberty, it is evident that each department should have a will of its own;
are held in that department, must soon destroy all sense of dependence on the authority conferring them.
It is equally evident, that the members of each department should be as little dependent as possible on those of the others, for the emoluments annexed to their offices.
But the great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department, consists in giving to those who administer each department, the necessary constitutional means, and personal motives, to resist encroachments of the others.
This policy of supplying by opposite and rival interests, the defect of better motives, might be traced through the whole system of human affairs, private as well as public.
But it is not possible to give to each department an equal power of self defence. In Republican Government the Legislative authority, necessarily, predominates.
If the principles on which these observations are founded be just, as I persuade myself they are, and they be applied as a criterion, to the several State Constitutions, and to the Federal Constitution, it will be found that if the latter does not perfectly correspond with them, the former are infinitely less able to bear such a test.
There are moreover two considerations particularly applicable to the Federal system of America, which place that system in a very interesting point of view.
First. In a single Republic, all the power surrendered by the people, is submitted to the administration of a single government;
mon interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure. There are but two methods of providing against this evil: The one by creating a will in the community independent of the majority, that is, of the society itself;
In a society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign, as in a state of nature where the weaker individual is not secured against the violence of the stronger;

A copy of AMENDMENTS submitted to the Convention, by his Excellency the Governor, who, on Wednesday last, after a long and painful indisposition, took the Chair, as President of that Hon. Body, now sitting in this town, and on Thursday in the forenoon, publicly communicated his intention of making a proposition in the afternoon, on the important subject before them.
Commonwealth of MASSACHUSETTS. In CONVENTION of the DELEGATES of the PEOPLE of the COMMONWEALTH of MASSACHUSETTS.
1788.
THE Convention having impartially discussed, and fully considered the Constitution of the United States of America, reported to Congress by the Convention of Delegates from the United States of America, and submitted to us by a resolution of the General Court of the said Commonwealth, passed the twenty fifth day of October last past;
And as it is the opinion of this Convention, that certain amendments and alterations in the said Constitution, would remove the fears, and quiet the apprehensions of many of the good people of this Commonwealth, and more especially guard against an undue administration of the Federal Government;
First, That it be explicitly declared, that all powers, not expressly delegated to Congress, are reserved to the several States, to be by them exercised.
Secondly, That there shall be one Representative to every thirty thousand persons, until the whole number of Representatives amount to
Thirdly, That Congress do not exercise the power vested in them by the 4th sect. of 1st art. but in cases where a State shall neglect or refuse to make adequate provision for an equal representation of the people, agreeably to this Constitution.
Fourthly, That Congress do not lay direct taxes, but when the monies arising from the impost and excise, are insufficient for the public exigencies.
Fifthly, That Congress erect no company of merchants, with exclusive advantages of commerce.
Sixthly, That no person shall be tried for any crime, by which he may incur an infamous punishment, or loss of life, until he be first indicted by a grand jury, except in such cases as may arise in the Government and regulation of the land and naval forces.
Seventhly The Supreme Judicial Federal Court shall have no jurisdiction of causes between citizens of different States, unless the matter in dispute be of the value of dollars, at least.
Eighthly, In civil actions, between citizens of different States, every issue of fact, arising in actions at common law, may be tried by a jury, if the parties, or either of them request it.
Ninthly, That the words "without the consent of Congress," in the last paragraph in the ninth section, of the first article, be stricken out.
AND the Convention do, in the name, and in the behalf of the people of this Commonwealth, enjoin it upon their Representatives in Congress, at all times, until the alterations and provisions aforesaid,

have been considered, agreeably to the fifth article of the said Constitution, to exert all their influence, and use all reasonable and legal methods to obtain a ratification of the said alterations and provisions, in such manner as is provided in the said article.
And that the United States in Congress assembled, may have due notice of the assent and ratification of the said Constitution by this Convention.
It is RESOLVED, That the assent and ratification aforesaid, be engrossed on parchment, together with the recommendation and injunction aforesaid, and with this resolution, and that his Excellency JOHN HANCOCK, Esq. President, and the Hon. WILLIAM CUSHING, Esq. Vice-President, of this Convention, transmit the same, countersigned by the Secretary of the Convention, under their hands and seals, to the United States in Congress assembled.
MR. CHILDS, 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 at 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 Sheriff, that you do totally and 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.

By Order of the Hon. JOHN SLOSS HOBART, Esq. one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New-York; NOTICE is hereby given to BLAIR M c CLENACHAN, late of the City of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, merchant, an absent debtor, and to all others whom it may concern, that on application to the said Judge, made by a creditor of the said Blair M c Clenachan, an absent debtor as aforesaid, he the said Judge, by virtue and in pursuance of the Act of the People of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, entitled, "An act for relief against absconding and absent debtors," passed 4th April, 1786, hath ordered all the estate, real and personal, of the said Blair M c Clenachan, an absent debtor, within this State, to be seized, and that unless the said Blair M c Clenachan, an absent debtor as aforesaid, shall return and discharge his debts within one year after the date hereof, his estate, real and personal, will be sold for the payment and satisfaction of his creditors. Dated at New-York, this 28th day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight.
TUESDAY, 29th January, 1788. An advertisement having appeared in this day's paper, in which Mr. Blair M c Clenachan is mentioned as late of the city of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, and as an absent Debtor:—This notice is given to the person who published that advertisement, and to every other person concerned, that Mr. M c Clenachan not only was, but still is, a merchant, a man of property, and an inhabitant of Philadelphia, the only part of America in which he ever resided; and any person having just claims upon him, may have a legal remedy, by an application there. The author of this notice gives it principally to remove any groundless suspicions or ideas which the advertisement may occasion, concerning a worthy citizen of the United States, whose person and property have often been risked in their service. tf.
The author of Blair M c Clenachan's vindication in yesterday's paper, seems to be little acquainted with the laws of the State of New-York, and much less with the principles of the man whom he endeavours to defend. It may not be amiss to inform the public, that Blair M c Clenachan has already suffered his property to be attached in the Island of S. Eustatia, in the year 1780, by his creditors. Now in the name of common sense, why should a citizen of the State of New-York, be obliged to go to the State of Pennsylvania, or to Algiers, or any other place, and enter into a litigation with Blair M c Clenachan, when the laws here afford a sufficient remedy? If Blair M c Clenachan is a man of such property and so worthy a citizen as his friend pretends that he is, why has he not paid the debt, which is the ground of the attachment? The DEBT IS JUST—HAS BEEN LONG DUE—and payment of it has often been demanded: The public therefore will judge whether Blair M c Clenachan acts like a worthy citizen, in still refusing payment of the debt; when, according to his friend's account, the want of property is not the cause of it. New-York, Jan. 31, 1788. tf.
