For the Daily Advertiser.
The following Lines were written on the sudden Death of a very amiable young Lady in the sixteenth year of her age:
EMBLEM of all that could thy sex adorn, Alas! alas! LOUISA, art thou gone? Oh! racking thought, that so much real worth, Should, in the bloom of youth, be call'd from earth; Call'd from each parent, relative, and friend, Who sink with grief, and under sorrow bend. Thy years were few, but each thou didst improve, By acts of kindness, charity, and love. Thy tender heart ne'er turn'd from human woes, Nor check'd the sweetest impulse which our nature knows, But rather sought than shun'd, the suppli- ant's pray'r, To sooth affection was thy chiefest care; Thine was the path each Christian shou'd pursue, Farewell,—dear shade—farewell—adieu— adieu. F. B.
For the Daily Advertiser.
THE Antifederal writers have taken great pains to excite our jealousy by endeavouring to convince us, that those who are invested with delegated powers, are prone to make an improper use of the confidence reposed in them by the people. That this is a truth which does not depend upon theory or conjecture for its support, is felt and acknowledged by all those who have had the misfortune to become public Creditors; a few favorites excepted, whose assistance might be necessary to support a bad cause. Fair promises and foul appointments have so constantly succeeded each other, that State Faith and State Securities, are as proverbial as Carthaginian Faith was formerly amongst the Romans. And it is a notorious fact, that an honest Carman's obligation will be taken in preference to a Public Security. This circumstance has naturally induced the great body of the people to wish for a Government administered by the better sort of people; who have had something of a liberal education, and who have been instructed in the principles of morality and common honesty; who possess such a sense of honor as to know and feel that frequent breaches of Public Faith are disgraceful to the Union, and so much common sense as to discern that the interest of the community or body politic, cannot be promoted by the ruin of Public Creditors, men who have been and still are some of the best citizens. Our rulers ought to know, that giving the property of these individuals into the hands of a few Land Jobbers, at two shillings and six-pence per pound, enabling them thereby to purchase Lordships and Manors, to be settled with vassals from the different parts of Europe, will most probably establish that Aristocracy in the State which they pretend to be in dread of, and which time will only serve to strengthen and confirm. For notwithstanding all the unmeaning rant of the Anti-Federalists, concerning Aristocracy, it must have fixed permanent property for its basis: If the property is dissipated, the Aristocracy must terminate.
If each of the Dons who have acquired from 20 to 30,000 acres of land, by speculation, since the year 1776, had their estates properly settled with tenants, what chance would the Federalists have in the public councils, when each Bahaw could bring a good regiment to the field, to prove that their arguments were incontrovertible.
They now pretend to be great advocates for the liberties of the people, and the most strenuous opposers of arbitrary power.—While they are divesting us of our property, and endeavouring to bind us in the chains of despotism, they yet are so intolerably stupid, as to tell us, that the Rulers under the New Government may treat us still worse than they have done. In the name of common sense, what additional degrees of degradation can they invent or inflict, when we are divested of our property, and the most violent efforts made to deprive us of the freedom of election, and the author and ring-leader of all this mischief, re-elected to a seat in the national council; what can we have to dread, from a change? Will the New Government hang us because we are poor?
It has been the almost universal wish of the people of America, to have a more firm energetic Government. For this desirable purpose, a general Convention has been appointed, who have framed a Constitution, which is allowed by our best judges to be excellent: but the time, mode, and places of holding the elections, for delegates to a State Convention, by the people, was to be appointed by the Legislature; but those leading despots in both houses, who pretend to be the guardians of our liberties, as well as the arbi-
trary disposers of our property, have, in the most daring manner, endeavoured to deprive us of that most inestimable privilege of freemen—the right of determining by a free election, whether we would accept the proposed Federal Constitution or not. These men suppose themselves to be possessed of a sufficient degree of address and cunning, to deprive us of both liberty and property; and yet to persuade us, that they are the only persons to be confided in, as the proper guardians of both.
Cincinnatus assures Mr. Wilson, that the public creditors are satisfied in receiving their interest in paper, from the old Government, by which they must sink at least eighteen shillings in the pound. And we shall doubtless find some of his party, so destitute of the principles of truth and candor, as to assure the public, that the bulk of the people are perfectly satisfied with the conduct of those Despots in both Houses of the Legislature, who have endeavoured to deprive us of the freedom of election, in chusing (as the people of every State in the Union are doing, or have a right to do) whether we will adopt the proposed Federal Constitution or not. If this be a specimen of Antifederal Liberty, we detest the sample, and want no more of it: As we find the meaning of the word Liberty, in the Antifederal sense, to be, 1st. The assumed privilege of a tyrannical overbearing minority, to govern the more sensible and virtuous majority; witness the conduct of the minority in Pennsylvania.
2dly. That one dissenting State should have a constitutional power to counteract the most important proceedings of the Union. See Rough Hewer and his adherents.
3dly. They wish to retain the liberty of chusing the Representatives of the people, in Congress, so as to render them more subservient to their designs; as they are properly speaking, the Representatives of the Representatives of the people, or servants of servants.
4thly. The liberty of depriving the people of the freedom of election, in chusing whether they will adopt the proposed Federal Constitution or not. If this is Republican liberty, and should we eventually be constrained to submit to such an unmerited blessing, kind Heaven grant us patience, for at present I contemplate the usurpation with indignation, and consider it as the extreme of Despotism. The Rough Hewer appears to have been extremely anxious to transmit the proposed Constitution, to the people, with an indelible Legislative stigma, as being the illegitimate offspring of an assumed power in the General Convention, who, as he alleges, exceeded the powers granted to them by some of the Legislatures.
But even if we grant, that the Convention exceeded the limits of their instructions, does not the real merits of the Constitution remain the same? Had not the Members of the Federal Convention, when they met, a better chance of learning and judging of the real circumstances and general interests of the Union, than any State Legislature could possibly have, and as much right to assume powers to make the necessary alterations and amendments in the existing Constitution, as the Legislature of any State had a right to assume powers to appoint them, and give them instructions? But if the Legislatures did assume a power which the people had not delegated to them, of sending members to meet in Convention, to frame a Constitution agreeably to particular instructions, and that the members of the Convention, had, upon mature deliberation, assumed a right to deviate from them, and had formed a good Constitution; would the people act prudently in rejecting it, merely because of this double assumption?
Is it not highly assuming in the Legislature of any particular State, to pretend to determine with greater precision, respecting a Constitution calculated for the good of the Union, than a Convention of the most sensible men from the different States, has done?
But we soon hope to have the pleasure to see a State Convention, composed of the most sensible men in the State, freely and fairly chosen by the people to determine, whether the proposed Constitution is calculated to promote the interests of the good people of this State; as members of the Union, who are as fond of conferring favors, as of receiving them; and who wish for nothing so ardently, as the peace, prosperity, and political happiness of the United States of America; and that all groundless jealousies, factious dissensions, and party prejudices, may be buried in oblivion, is the sincere wish of
A CITIZEN OF AMERICA.

CHARLES THOMSON Sec'y.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.
POUGHKEEPSIE,
Saturday, February 9, 1788.
(Continued.)
Another message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill concerning Courts of Oyer and Terminer, and Gaol Delivery, with amendments.
The House went into a Committee on the Bill for extending the Acts relative to Highways to the County of Columbia:
Mr. Doughty in the Chair.
This Bill was rejected, for reason that it was not only unnecessary, but that it held up a very dangerous idea, as there would be the same necessity for passing a Law to extend all the Laws of the State to the same County; the Committee there rose and reported accordingly.
On motion the House went into a Committee on the Bill for enabling the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonality of New-York, to raise a sum of money for the purposes therein mentioned:
Mr. Hedges in the Chair.
The Committee having gone through the Bill, rose and reported the same, when it was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
Mr. Low moved for leave and brought in a Bill to grant a bounty on hemp, which was read a first time, and ordered a second reading.
Adjourned till Monday morning, 10 o'clock.
Monday, February 11.
The House met pursuant to adjournment. Read a third time and passed the House, the Bill for dividing this State into Counties.
Read a third time and passed the House, the Bill for the amendment of the Law, and the better advancement of justice.
Mr. Benson brought in a Report from the Commissioners of the Land Office, to whom had been referred the petition of William Guthrie and others; the said Report contained a statement of facts, which after being read, were referred to a Committee of the whole House.
Read a second time and committed, the Bill to prevent any inconveniencies that may happen by privilege; and the Bill for giving relief on promissory notes.
A message was received from the Senate by Mr. Haring and Mr. Hopkins, that they had passed the Bill concerning Treasons and Felonies, and for regulating the proceedings in cases of Felony, without amendment.
The House went again into a committee on the Bill for the limitation of actions, and suits at Law.
Mr. Carman in the Chair.
In going through this Bill, a debate took place with respect to the time in which a person might bring a suit for the recovery of real estate.
Mr. Benson contended, that 60 years, the time allowed by the British statutes was unreasonably long, and that the term of 25 years was sufficient; and to prevent any inconvenience attending existing claims, that the Law should not operate before the year 1800. And for this he moved for a new clause, which he handed to the Chair.
Mr. Speaker was also of opinion that the term of 25 or 30 years would be sufficient.
This was opposed by Mr. Jones, who thought it would be prudent to pass the Bill in exact conformity to the known customs and established law of the land. He suggested the inconvenience and great expense that might arise on decisions on a law entirely new. He had another objection, which was, as our country had just come out of a long war, many cases might exist, for which the whole term might be requisite for the due recovery of their property. Feb. 19. tf.
Mr. Sylvester advocated the motion of Mr. Benson; it was a subject he had long revolved in his mind, and he was clear that the period of limitation ought to be shortened.
A question was taken on the general proposition of Mr. Benson without fixing the period, and agreed to as follows:—
Affirmative. Messrs. Dongan, Winant, Taulman, Niven, Sylvester, Baker, Gilbert, Strang, Speaker, Van Ingen, Arent, Powers, Webster, Savage, James Livingston, Benson, Hedges, Low, Younglove, Thomson, Tompkins, Harrison, Drake. 23.
Negative. Messrs. Jones, Cornwell, Doughty, Wykoff, Dewitt, Frey, Schoonmaker, Bruyne, Sands, Verplanck, Clinton, Lewis, Havens, Clarke. 14.
Majority 9.
Mr. Benson moved that the time should be 25 years.
Mr. Sands moved that it should be 40 years.
Mr. Sylvester moved that it should be 20 years, and
Mr. Jones moved that it should be 30 years.
The question was first taken on 20, and lost.
It was then taken on 25, and carried. Ayes 20, Noes 17.
It was then necessary to fix the period of limitation, in cases where the State might be the Plaintiff. This was agreed to be 40 years.

THE Federalists are often induced to laugh at old Margery's bombastical intimations of conspiracy, &c. the following anecdote, shews something of this kind more worthy of public notice; altho' perhaps, equally contemptible, as to the danger of its consequence: A leading Jersey character, was lately on his way from this State, to the Legislature of Jersey, with an intention to procure the detection of that State from Federal measures: By some means his secret got air, upon which being publicly charged with the design, he denied his having said he was authorised from Government, but acknowledged that he was assured by several leading men here, that Jersey should fully participate of our impost, provided her Legislature could be brought to retract.

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 IM- VESTIGATION, and I am at all times rea- dy 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, re- quires 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 fre- quently solicited by letter for that pur- pose, 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 pro- ceedings. 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.  ARCHIBALD BLAIR. New-York. Feb. 11, 1788.

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 ci- ty 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 Common- wealth of Pennsylvania, but at present re- siding 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 Sher- iff, and did thereby command you to at- tach, 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 in 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 de- sist from attaching, seizing, taking or keep- ing, all or any part of the real or personal estate of the said Blair M'Clenachan, or all or any of the evidences, books of accounts, vouchers, and papers, relating thereto by reason of the warrant of attachment afore- said; 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, vouch- ers, or papers thereunto belonging, by oc- casion of the warrant of attachment afore- said, 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 suffi- cient authority.
Given under my hand and seal at the City of New-York, the ninth day of Fe- bruary, in the year of our Lord, 1788, and of our Independence the twelfth.  JOHN SLOSS HOBART.
