PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.
It is astonishing, says a Correspondent, that the Centinel and other antifederal papers should charge the new federal constitution with being calculated to promote the interest of what he, invidiously, calls the well born. All men in America are equally well born. We are all freemen, and the sons of freemen, and the proposed government is founded on that principle; for it guarantees our Republicanism, and it secures to the poorest the right of electing, equally with the richest and most assuming. It renders every office attainable by the poorest, as certainly as the richest and most haughty. These antifederal gentlemen do not like such a government, but happily the people do. These writers sometimes abuse our good men, and then steal out the paragraphs when they find they disgust. The Centinel, in his first number, treats General Washington, and Dr. Franklin with contempt, and then translates his piece into German, and leaves out the vile sentence. Our Germans are an honest, thinking body of men, and will despise this trick, which the Centinel has attempted to pass on them.
What a variety of methods do the opposers of our new constitution pursue, to prevent the adoption of it. A New-York writer under the signature of Brutus, wishes to have three confederacies, that is, three times the officers, and three times the expense of the proposed plan. If the union is preserved, it can have nothing to fear from the British Colonies on the North, or the Spanish on the South; but if it should be divided into three parts, European politics would soon play off one against another.
New-York, Nov. 3.
A meeting of the inhabitants of Henrico county was held, at the Mason's hall in Richmond, Virginia, on the subject of the proposed plan of Federal Government—which after having been warmly advocated by a learned gentleman of that city, was unanimously approved of.
On Saturday evening was married, by the Rev. Mr. Wilson, Capt. ROBERT ELDER to Miss LOGIE, both of this city.
Married, lately, in this city, Mr. JOHN HODGES, Merchant, of Antigua, to Mrs. LYDIA POLLARD, Daughter of Philip Audibert, Esq. of this city.
From a Correspondent.
PALPABLE TRUTHS.
Fools! not to know that half exceeds the whole.
IT is a palpable truth, that, as Messrs. Randolph, Mason, and Gerry, did not sign the Convention—the majority were all in the wrong.
It is also a truth, that, as Rhode-Island and, perhaps, New-York, are Anti-Federal—the Federal States will be all in the wrong.
It is also a truth, that, as State Officers do not chuse to risk the loss of office—their opponents are all in the wrong.
It is also a truth, that, as some of the European Powers wish to keep us a disunited people, and, for that purpose, will, perhaps, employ the grey-goose quill of every venal scribbler to disseminate fears and jealousies—that every honest advocate of the Federal Government must be in the wrong.
In short, my dear Countrymen, if we suffer ourselves to be guided by the majority—we shall assuredly be all in the wrong.
Extracts from the JOURNAL OF CONGRESS.
Tuesday, October 16, 1787.
On motion of Mr. Carrington,
Resolved unanimously, That a medal of gold be struck and presented to the chevalier John Paul Jones, in commemoration of the valor and brilliant services of that officer, in the command of a squadron of French and American ships, under the flag and commission of the United States, off the coast of Great-Britain, in the late war; and that the honorable Mr. Jefferson, minister plenipotentiary of the United States at the court of Versailles, have the same executed with the proper devices.
Resolved, That a letter be written to his most christian majesty, informing him, that the United States in Congress assembled, have bestowed upon the chevalier John Paul Jones, this medal, as well in consideration of the distinguished marks of approbation, which his majesty has been pleased to confer upon that officer, as, from a sense of his merit: And, that, as it is his earnest desire to acquire greater knowledge in his profession, it would be acceptable to Congress, that his majesty, would be pleased to permit him to embark with his fleet of evolution, convinced that he can no where else so well acquire that knowledge which may hereafter render him more extensively useful.
Ordered, That the secretary for foreign affairs prepare a letter for the above purpose, to be signed by the president; and that the chevalier Jones be the bearer of the said letter.
Wednesday, October 17, 1787.
On motion of Mr. Irvine, seconded by Mr. Carrington,
Resolved, That the Board of treasury be, and they are hereby authorised and directed to dispose of for specie or public securities, such of the public buildings at Carlisle in Pennsylvania, as in the opinion of the secretary at war are no longer necessary to be occupied by the United States, on the best terms that can be obtained.
Saturday, October 20, 1787.
On the report of a committee consisting of Mr. Grayson, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Ross, to whom was referred a motion for a representation to the states of North-Carolina and Georgia, on the subject of surrendering a liberal portion of their territorial claims,
Resolved, That it be, and it is hereby represented to the states of North-Carolina and Georgia, that the lands which have been ceded by the other states in compliance with the recommendation of this body, are now falling in large quantities for public securities; that the deeds of cession from the different states have been made without annexing an express condition that they should not operate until the other states under like circumstances, made similar cessions; and that Congress have such faith in the justice and magnanimity of the states of North-Carolina and Georgia, that they only think it necessary to call their attention to these circumstances, not doubting but upon consideration of the subject, they will feel those obligations which will induce similar cessions, and justify that confidence which has been placed in them.
On a report of the secretary of the United States for the department of foreign affairs, to whom was referred a letter of the second of this present month October, from P. Bond, esq. enclosing a commission from his Britannic majesty, constituting George Miller, esq. his consul and deputy commissary in the states of North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia:
Whereas George Miller, esq. has communicated to the United States in Congress assembled, a commission in due form, bearing date the 5th day of January, 1787, from his Britannic majesty, constituting him the consul of his said majesty, in the states of North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia; and although no commercial treaty or convention subsists between his majesty and the United States, whereby either have a perfect right to establish consuls or commissaries in the dominions of the other, yet, as the United States are disposed, by every proper mark of liberality and attention, to promote a good correspondence between the two countries, and particularly as amicable negotiations are now depending between them,—therefore,
Resolved, That the said George Miller be, and he is hereby received and recognized as the consul of his Britannic majesty throughout the states of North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia, and that his commission be recorded in the secretary's office.
Resolved, That all the privileges, pre-eminences and authority which the laws of nations and of the land give a consul received by the United States, from any nation with whom they have no commercial treaty or convention, are due, and shall be enjoyed by the said George Miller, as consul for the three states above-mentioned, and that certified copies of these resolutions be transmitted to the executives thereof for their information.
The FEDERALIST.
No. III.
To the People of the State of New-York.
IT is not a new observation that the people of any country (if like the Americans intelligent and well informed) seldom adopt, and steadily persevere for many years in, an erroneous opinion respecting their interests. That consideration naturally tends to create great respect for the high opinion which the people of America have so long and uniformly entertained of the importance of their continuing firmly united under one Federal Government, vested with sufficient powers for all general and national purposes.
The more attentive I consider and investigate the reasons which appear to have given birth to this opinion, the more I become convinced that they are cogent and conclusive.
Among the many objects to which a wise and free people find it necessary to direct their attention, that of providing for their safety seems to be the first. The safety of the people doubtless has relation to a great variety of circumstances and considerations, and consequently affords great latitude to those who wish to define it precisely and comprehensively.
At present I mean only to consider it as it respects security for the preservation of peace and tranquility, as well against dangers from foreign arms and influence, as from dangers of the like kind arising from domestic causes. As the former of these comes first in order, it is proper it should be the first discussed. Let us therefore proceed to examine whether the people are not
right in their opinion, that a cordial Union under an efficient national Government, affords them the best security that can be devised against hostilities from abroad.
The number of wars which have happened or will happen in the world, will always be found to be in proportion to the number and weight of the causes, whether real or pretended which provoke or invite them. If this remark be just, it becomes useful to inquire, whether so many just causes of war are likely to be given by United America, as by disunited America; for if it should turn out that United America will probably give the fewest, then it will follow that, in this respect, the Union tends most to preserve the people in a state of peace with other nations.
The just causes of war or the most part arise either from violations of treaties, or from direct violence. America has already formed treaties with no less than six foreign nations, and all of them, except Prussia, are maritime, and therefore able to annoy and injure us: She has also extensive commerce with Portugal, Spain, and Britain, and with respect to the two latter, has in addition the circumstance of neighbourhood to attend to.
It is of high importance to the peace of America, that she observe the laws of nations towards all these Powers, and to me it appears evident that this will be more perfectly and punctually done by one national Government, than it could be either by thirteen separate States, or by three or four distinct confederacies.
Because when once an efficient national Government is established; the best men in the country will not only consent to serve, but also will generally be appointed to manage it; for altho' town or country, or other contracted influence may place men in State Assemblies, or Senates, or courts of justice, or executive departments; yet more general and extensive reputation for talents and other qualifications, will be necessary to recommend men to offices under the national government—especially as it will have the widest field for choice, and never experience that want of proper persons, which is not uncommon in some of the States. Hence it will result, that the administration, the political counsels, and the judicial decisions of the national Government will be more wise, systematical and judicious, than those of individual States, and consequently more satisfactory with respect to other nations, as well as more safe with respect to us.
Because under the national Government, treaties and articles of treaties, as well as the laws of nations, will always be expounded in one sense, and executed in the same manner—whereas adjudications on the same points and questions, in thirteen States, or in three or four confederacies, will not always accord or be consistent; and that as well from the variety of independent courts and judges appointed by different and independent Governments, as from the different local laws and interests which may affect and influence them. The wisdom of the Convention in committing such questions to the jurisdiction and judgment of courts appointed by, and responsible only to one national Government, cannot be too much commended.
Because the prospect of present loss or advantage, may often tempt the governing party in one or two States to swerve from good faith and justice; but those temptations not reaching the other States, and consequently having little or no influence on the national Government, the temptation will be fruitless, and good faith and justice be preserved. The case of the treaty of peace with Britain, adds great weight to this reasoning.
Because even if the governing party in a State should be disposed to resist such temptations, yet as such temptations may, and commonly do result from circumstances peculiar to the State, and may affect a great number of the inhabitants, the governing party may not always be able, if willing to prevent, the injustice meditated, or to punish the aggressors. But the national Government, not being affected by those local circumstances, will neither be induced to commit the wrong themselves, nor want power or inclination to prevent, or punish its commission by others.
So far therefore as either designed or accidental violation of treaties and of the laws of nations afford just causes of war, they are less to be apprehended under one general government, than under several lesser ones; and in that respect, the former most favor the safety of the people.
As to those just causes of war which proceed from direct and unlawful violence, it appears equally clear to me, that one good national government affords vastly more security against dangers of that sort, than can be derived from any other quarter.
Because such violences are more frequently caused by the passions and interests of a part than of the whole, of one or two States than of the Union. Not a single Indian war has been occasioned by aggressions of the present Federal Government, feeble as it is, but there are several instances of Indian
hostilities having been provoked by the improper conduct of individual States, who either unable or unwilling to restrain or punish offences, have given occasion to the slaughter of many innocent inhabitants.
The neighbourhood of Spanish and British territories, bordering on some States, and not on others, naturally confines the causes of quarrel more immediately to the borderers. The bordering States, if any, will be those, who, under the impulse of sudden irritation, and a quick sense of apparent interest or injury, will be most likely, by direct violence, to excite war with those nations; and nothing can so effectually obviate that danger, as a national Government, whose wisdom and prudence will not be diminished by the passions which actuate the parties immediately interested.
But not only fewer just causes of war will be given by the national Government, but it will also be more in their power to accommodate and settle them amicably. They will be more temperate and cool, and, in that respect, as well as in others, will be more in capacity to act advisedly than the offending State. The pride of States, as well as of men, naturally disposes them to justify all their actions, and opposes their acknowledging, correcting or repairing their errors and offences. The national Government, in such cases, will not be affected by this pride, but will proceed, with moderation and candor, to consider and decide on the means most proper to extricate them from the difficulties which threaten them.
Besides, it is well known, that acknowledgments, explanations and compensations are often accepted, as satisfactory, from a strong, united nation, which would be rejected, as unsatisfactory, if offered by a State or Confederacy of little consideration or power.
In the year 1685, the State of Genoa, having offended Louis the XIVth, endeavored to appease him. He demanded that they should send their Doge, or Chief Magistrate, accompanied by four of their Senators, to France, to ask his pardon and receive his terms. They were obliged to submit to it, for the sake of peace. Would he, on any occasion, either have demanded, or have received, the like humiliation from Spain, or Britain, or any other powerful nation?

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and Co. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufacture of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner.
Castings made in an Air Furnace, are al- lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first melting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the differ- ence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- between refined and Bloomery Iron. The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware be- ing as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.
Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea kettles, pye-pans, skil- lets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling- kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cafes, cast bars for su- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for slit- ting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly deco- rated with carved work. Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, skip's cabouces of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill rounds and gudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearl ashes, cast iron screws for fulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, fish-weights, forge- hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c.
N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6w

SMITH begs leave to recommend to Ladies, his highly improved Milk of Roses, for beautifying the skin, it is by far the best Cosmetic in the world, be- ing the proprietor of it, he can vouch for its im- mense, for cleansing and clearing the skin from hard pimples, scurf or tan, rendering it quite soft, deli- cate and fair; half dollar and one dollar per bottle, or three dollars per quart. He cannot be answerable for any Milk of Roses but what he prepares himself, with his label upon the bottle; therefore Ladies can not be too particular in asking for N. SMITH's Milk of Roses; for that as well as many more articles are imported under titles they are not deserving of.
LIKEWISE may be had as above, SMITH's super- fine English white Hair Powders, Pomatums, Wash- Balls, Shaving Soaps and Boxes, Lavender Waters, Essence of Bergamot, Lemon and Lavender; Con- cave Razors, warranted Razor Straps, Powder Bags and Puffs, Rollers, Horn and Tortoise-shell Combs, Black Pins of all kinds.
