AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF
LETTERS
FROM THE FEDERAL FARMER
TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters; would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

STAGES,
Owned by Cumming & Ward, at Newark; and by Michael Dennison, in Philadelphia, RESPECTFULLY inform their friends and the public, that their Stages leave Powles-Hook every afternoon (except Saturday) at 4, on their route for Philadelphia; proceed by Newark to Elizabeth Town that evening—Leave Elizabeth Town, and Michael Dennison's, George Inn, Philadelphia, at three o'clock every morning, except Sunday, and drive to Philadelphia and Powles-Hook that day.
On Monday the 21st of April an extra Stage will start for the accommodation of select parties, and those gentlemen and ladies who wish to indulge themselves in the morning, or who fear the bad effects of the early air. This stage will leave Powles-Hook at seven o'clock, and Philadelphia at eight o'clock every morning (except Saturday and Sunday) and proceed with the same speed as the early stage.
The expence of the stage to each passenger will be Three Spanish Milled Dollars from Powles-Hook to Philadelphia, and Four-pence per mile for all way-passengers. One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same as a passenger—Fourteen weight of bag-gage gratis.
The expedition, lowness of fare, and certainty of arrival, must convince the public, that this route is preferable to the Ambury, as the journey is performed in half the time.

New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Cronk's, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New-Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR-PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile.
No racing allowed in this line.

MISCELLANY.
At a Convention of Lay Delegates, by appointment, from the several episcopal churches or societies in the state of Connecticut, held at Wallingford, on Wednesday the 7th day of May Anno Domini, 1788, for the purpose of ratifying or amending the doings of a former Convention, held at Waterbury on the 13th day of February, Anno Domini, 1788, and taking into consideration the expediency of founding an EPISCOPAL ACADEMY in this state.
JOHN WELTON, Esq. President. SAMUEL WOODRUFF, Esq. Sec'y.
Voted, THAT the secretary call upon the several delegates present, to render in their names, and the names of the several churches or societies which they represent.
Voted, That the doings of a convention of lay delegates, from the episcopal churches or societies in this state, held at Waterbury on Wednesday, the 13th day of February, Anno Domini, 1788, be ratified and confirmed:—And that it be recommended to the several episcopal societies in this state, to raise by voluntary contribution or otherwise, a sum of money, equal to the product of a tax of one half-penny on the pound, levied on the polls and ratable estate, belonging to said respective societies, as an annual salary for the Right Reverend Dr. Samuel Seabury, Bishop of Connecticut:—And that the amount of the list of each episcopal society, according to the rate book, delivered to the collector of said society, be the standard whereby to determine the proportion of said salary, which said society ought to raise: And that one fourth part of said sum, or sums so raised, be paid to said Bishop quarterly, and that the first payment thereof be made on the 13th day of May instant.

Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, April 12.
AFTER the Cabinet on Monday which was held in consequence of the evasive conduct of the court of Madrid respecting the large equipments going forward in the Mediterranean, a spirited remonstrance was dispatched to that court; the substance of which is reported to be, that the British court cannot see with indifference so powerful a preparation, and that unless an unequivocal and satisfactory answer is given, similar equipments will be made in the British courts without loss of time.
The Duke de Crillon has received orders from the court of Madrid to repair immediately to Cadiz; for what purpose is not known; but as, notwithstanding his failure before Gibraltar, he is in high estimation as a General, we may presume, that he is destined to some important service. Since his conquest of port Mahon and Minorca, he is called by his Catholic Majesty's orders, Duke de Crillon Mahon.
By a correspondent at Constantinople, on whose veracity we can, with confidence rely, we are assured, the event of the present war between the Porte and his Imperial enemies is not likely to be so soon ascertained, nor of a nature so advantageous as the latter had flattered themselves: That the Divan had published a manifesto which was circulated through the Turkish empire, its nominal dependencies, and every district where the Mahometan religion is professed, calling upon all Musselmen to arm in defence of their countries, and religion, which were attacked by a race of infidels, who might justly be considered the enemies of both God and man; whose intentions were not only to spoil the dominions of the most sublime Porte but also to subdue those of every true believer, and if possible, finally extirpate the whole Ottoman race; that the effect of this manifesto had been astonishing; the Mahometan princes having unanimously determined to aid the Grand Signior with their whole force, the greater part of which is already in motion, and the remainder with the utmost expedition.
The above information is strongly corroborated by the recent conduct of the Emperor of Morocco, the other Barbary princes, who are using every exertion to fit out a fleet, which they openly avow is to act against that of Russia, should it enter the Mediterranean; and the truth of our intelligence is further strengthened by the arrival of several large bodies of Persian horse, who have joined the main body of the Turkish army.
American Occurrences.
SAVANNAH, May 22.
A PERSON of the name of O'Neil, from East Florida, was killed on Cumberland island, in this state, in a quarrel which happened betwixt him and Mr. Ashley, of Camden county.
Last Saturday night, we are told, Daniel M'Girt was taken up at the Flat Ford, in Effingham county, by Capt. Cone and a party of the militia, and secured in Rester's form fort. He has been about seven or eight weeks from the Bahama Islands, and landed in East Florida or the southern parts of this state.
The late seizure of the ship Charlotte, Capt. Lambert (says a correspondent) has met with that countenance it justly deserves. To the people of Savannah belongs every encomium due to justice and hospitality, but what man possessed with common sense will approach the shores of this state, when men in office can with impunity trifle with their property, and on the most frivolous pretences push them into a labyrinth of trouble and expence. Evils of this magnitude loudly demand the interference of our legislature.
CHARLESTON, May 29.
Tuesday last, according to appointment of the citizens of Charleston, assembled at Roper's Wharf, for the purpose of celebrating the adoption (by the convention of this state) of the proposed federal constitution. At twelve o'clock the procession began their march in the following order up Broad and Meeting-streets, to Federal Green (the different professions carrying decorated emblems of their crafts) where an excellent collation was provided; to which our worthy fellow citizens, the butchers, added a fine ox, roasted whole, and to which the people sat cheerfully down, without distinction.—A joyful spirit of republicanism seemed to pervade every breast: the utmost order and good harmony was preserved, and the day closed with hilarity. A gentleman from a convenient stand, counted upwards of two thousand eight hundred in procession.
In the evening several ships in the harbour exhibited a most beautiful spectacle; their masts, yards, &c. being richly illuminated, particularly the Mercury, Captain Grant, which was remarkably brilliant.

PETERSBURG (Virginia) May 22.
On the 13th inst. at Norfolk, before the worshipful court of justices, was examined, Archibald Carroll, late commander of the ship Mary Anne. He was charged with the murder of John McGill, one of the two unfortunate seamen whose bodies were found some days before. From the testimony given upon the examination, the court adjudged to remand him to prison; since which we hear he has been conducted to Richmond; and that from circumstances it appears probable he perpetrated the horrid act on the other body which was found.
PHILADELPHIA, June 4.
On Thursday last the Synod of New-York and Philadelphia broke up, after finishing their business. During their session, they resolved themselves into four Synods, and one General Assembly or Council. The Synods are to meet annually in New-York, Philadelphia, Virginia, and in one of the Carolinas, from which places the Synods are to derive their names. The General Assembly is to meet in Philadelphia. In the pastoral letter agreed to by the reverend Synod, we hear they have strongly recommended the disuse of spirituous liquors—the abolition of negro slavery, with the instruction of the negroes in literature and religion—and the decision of all disputes among the members of their communion by arbitration, after the manner of the primitive christians, and of the people called Quakers. Should this practice become general among all sects of christians, how much time would be saved, that is spent in idleness, by plaintiffs, defendants, jurors, and witnesses at courts—how much drinking and gaming would be prevented, which are practised during the sessions of courts—how much expence, ill-blood, malice, and even hereditary hatreds, would likewise be prevented by it—all of which are the usual consequences of law-suits—Who knows but what the effects of this christian mode of arbitrating disputes may spread from christians to public bodies, and that it may prove the means of teaching states and kings the folly and madness of settling their disputes by an appeal to arms. Greater revolutions in the opinions and conduct of men have often arisen from much smaller causes.
We hear that the farmers of Biberry and Lower Dublin townships, in Philadelphia county, have signed an association to give no spirituous liquors to their labourers at the ensuing harvest. They propose, in the room of spirits, to give beer, cyder, butter-milk, and molasses and water. One spoonful of the molasses to a pint of water, is the usual way of giving that excellent drink.
ELIZABETH-TOWN, June 4.
Those who delight in the horrid relation of well-fought battles, and fields covered with slaughtered hosts, will soon, no doubt, be gratified, in the events of the war between the Turks and Russians. We anticipate, with grief, the rivers of blood which will flow, the dying groans which will ascend, the ravages and dissolutions which will take place, in this war of Russian and Austrian ambition! In what dreadful calamities do the passions of the great, involve mankind!
BOSTON, May 31.
GENERAL ELECTION.
The Commonwealth, on the subject of the federal constitution, having been thrown into two large parties previous to the election, the friends to the constitution endeavoured to unite their suffrages in favour of federal characters: and the antifederalists in favour of those who were opposed to the constitution, to sustain the great offices of government the present year. His Excellency Mr. Hancock, as governor, and the Hon. Mr. Lincoln, by some, and the Hon. Mr. Adams by others, as lieutenant-governor, were therefore, selected by the federalists; and the Hon. Mr. Gerry as governor, and the Hon. Mr. Warren as lieutenant-governor, by the antifederalists. The votes for the several candidates, as returned into the secretary's office, were, for governor 22,156, of which his Excellency Mr. Hancock had 17,831, and was elected. The votes for lieutenant-governor were 21,96 of which Hon. Mr. Lincoln had 10,204—Hon. Samuel Adams 3,495—Hon. James Warren 6,157—Hon. Elbridge Gerry, 676—to there was not a choice of lieutenant governor, notwithstanding the decided majority of federal votes for governor, owing to the want of union in the federalists in the choice. The constitution having designated it to be the business of the legislature, in case of non-election by the people, to choose the lieutenant governor, &c.—The hon. house of representatives in conformity thereto, proceeded to the choice of two of the four candidates abovementioned, to be sent up to the hon. senate, and notwithstanding there is as decided a majority of federalists in that hon. body, as four to one, who might have elected the two federal candidates, yet respect for the six thousand citizens who voted for Mr. W. —the principles of conciliation and fairness, which have ever marked the conduct of the friends to the

constitution, and to good government; and conviction that the hon. senate, in their choice, would accord with the voice of the people, so emphatically pronounced in favour of Mr. Lincoln, induced that hon. body to send up to the hon. senate the two persons who were the principal objects of the choice of the two parties—Messrs. Lincoln and Warren. The senate, as was expected, the same day made choice of the hon. Mr. Lincoln, by a majority of 20 of 28 votes—Gratifying thereby, we venture to assert, the wishes of three-fourths of the people of the commonwealth.
A respectable committee of nine, of which the hon. Mr. Adams was chairman, having been appointed to wait on his excellency the Governor, and his honor the lieutenant-governor elect, and to inform them of their election to those dignified stations: his excellency and honor yesterday met the hon. legislature, convened in the representatives' chamber, and having declared their acceptance of the offices to which they were respectively elected, took the oaths and subscribed the declarations required by the constitution. After which the secretary of the state made proclamation, that
His Excellency JOHN HANCOCK , Esquire, was elected Governor, and His Honor BENJAMIN LINCOLN , Esquire, Lieut. Governor of this Commonwealth.
After the choice of the Lieutenant-Governor, on Thursday, the two branches met in convention for the purpose of electing nine Counsellors for advising the Governor in the executive part of government, the present year, and the Honorable Nathan Cushing, *Azor Orne, Jonathan Greenleaf, Edward Cutts, *Samuel Adams, *John Bliss, *William Phillips, *Eleazer Brooks, and *Samuel Baker, Esquires, were elected by a large majority of votes—six of whom yesterday qualified themselves, and took their seats at the Honorable Board. Those gentlemen marked [*] are new Counsellors.
The Honorable Eleazer Brooks, Esquire, having declined accepting a seat in the Honorable Council, the Honorable Nathaniel Gorham, Esquire, was yesterday elected in his room.
If to have all the departments of government filled by men who have confidence in each other—men prudent and federal, and whose object is the adoption of such measures as the good of the people require, is a blessing—and we know of none greater—we believe we may congratulate the good people of this state, and all the friends to union and federal measures of the United States, on the acquisition, in the present rulers of this commonwealth, of such men: Nay we venture to assert—notwithstanding we may again meet the railings of certain writers, who cannot refute what we have asserted, and which they can answer only but with railing—that they almost to a man, Federal Men, friends to government, the peace, dignity, and prosperity of the state. And we therefore anticipate the adoption and dispatch of measures, which will diffuse satisfaction amongst all ranks of citizens, and greatly lessen the public expenses—Events much to be wished.
A correspondent observes, that it will not be necessary any longer to continue in a certain newspaper, the republication of the sagacious remarks of the Compte Mirabeau, &c. upon the terrible order of the Cincinnati—it may be continued for a week or two more, to save appearances, but as the end so cunningly intended to be answered, has been wily defeated, by the independent spirit of a free legislature, it may be proper that such taunting observations should sink into their merited oblivion.
Our accounts from the southern states are pleasing; so are those from New-Hampshire; these, added to the great and happy change in favor of it in this Commonwealth, are pleasing preludes of our speedily enjoying a GOLDEN AGE OF FEDERALISM.
John Avery, jun. Esquire, was yesterday unanimously re-chosen Secretary to the state, by the Honorable Legislature.

By the same vessel, we received the welcome news of the adoption, in the above state, of the late proposed constitution—and we have the pleasure of congratulating our readers on this important occasion, and flatter ourselves to see shortly our ports filled with the Thirteen Stripes, and commerce flourish between this kingdom and the United States.
Extract of a letter from Annapolis, May 26. "Yesterday the act for the relief of insolvent debtors was repealed; and an act passed for working criminals on the road. It is expected this law will be well received, as it will turn the vices of men to the advantage of the state."
Extract of a letter from Pittsburg, dated May 16, 1788.
"The news of this country is confined to Indian affairs, and three-fourths of those accounts have very little truth in them. It is expected there will be a general attendance of the Indians at the treaty; at present there are no appearances of hostile intentions among the savages. Some boats were attacked in March last, about 600 miles down the Ohio, and some people killed and others taken, among the latter is Mr. Purviance of Baltimore, who was met beyond Sandusky, on the road to Detroit; from circumstances attending this matter, it is conjectured some white men were principal agents in this affair."

ON a report of the board of treasury, to whom was referred a motion, of Mr. Carrington.
Resolved, That Congress proceed to the election of two commissioners for settling the accounts of the five great departments, to continue in office one year.
Ordered, That the commissioners of accounts for the quarter-masters, commissary's, hospital, marine and cloathing departments, with the appropriation of the board of treasury, commence suits in behalf of the United States, against all persons in any of the said departments, who stand chargeable with public monies, computed from the present date; and that this order be published in the several states for the period above mentioned.
Resolved, That the said commissioners be directed to continue their unremitting attention to the final adjustment of all accounts which have arisen in the said departments, and to the recovery of all sums for which suits may be commenced; and that at the termination of their commission, they deposit with the register of the treasury all the books and papers of their respective offices, together with a general abstract of the sums due from individuals, in order that immediate measures may be adopted for the recovery of the same.

THE MESSIAH,
Attempted from the GERMAN of Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
To those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to commend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment:—to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER of all; with the sublimest and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER , and a perfect detestation and abhorrence of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and at paying a humble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteemed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Regained, though far from being destitute of merit, is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that unbounded invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is formed upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.

POET'S CORNER.
MARCH and APRIL.
A FABLE.
Written on account of cold, rough, weather in APRIL, after an agreeable and pleasant MARCH preceding.
THE pride of the garden is shattered to rags, The leaves are in lippets th' flow'rs in jags For April's so angry that March was so gay, That she puffs at her beauties and blows them away And, fast as her cloudy dominions come on, Looks coldly upon her, and bids 'her be gone; For I see by the meadows, the shrubs and the bow'rs, You have stolen my verdure and pilfer'd my flow'rs,
And, still more provoking this gaudy new comer, Is pleasant as May and as warm as the summer. So I think it my duty to bring to disgrace A season so dresly, and fine, out of place; For never should March a precedence claim To the honors of April, so shining in fame; For April was ever allow'd to appear The mother of beauties that brighten the year. To which sober March made this modest reply, 'My beauties are dead, and your beauties shall die; For, for by this riotous bluster of thine, Thou dost but destroy thy own honours with mine, Nor should you be hasty your neighbour to blame; For May is behind, and may serve you the fame. So take, mistress April, this closing report, My reign was not long and thy reign shall be short. Such contests in nature we often may see: Thus ever it was, and thus ever it will be, From whence for our profit some moral we'll gather, And learn to be wise from th' wind and th' weather:
For men, with such teaching examples before 'em May learn to be rul'd by the laws of decorum; And youth, when too fond and too forward to shine, May learn what a danger there is of decline: And ladies, to act with discretion and grace, Must with decency dress and appear in right place.

A Few MAPS,
Of the interior parts of North-America, includ- ing the lands intended for the NEW STATES, some of which are selling, and others already disposed of by order of Congress.
ORDERS are just received, by the printer here- of, to sell these Maps at a much cheaper rate than they have yet been sold. The plates were cut and the impressions taken in London, and there sold (without the pamphlet) at One Guinea each.
To accompany this map, and explanatory of it, with references to it, will be sold, included in the price of the map, a pamphlet, containing 67 large octavo pages, with plates and figures, entitled, a Topographical Description of Virginia, Penn- sylvania, Maryland, and North-Carolina, compre- hending the rivers Ohio, Kenhawa, Sioto, Chero- kee, Wabash, Illinois, Mississippi, &c. The cli- mate, soil, and produce, whether animal, vegeta- ble, or mineral; the mountains, creeks, roads, distances, latitudes, &c. and of every part, laid down in the Map.
By THOMAS HUTCHINS, Esq. Late Captain and Engineer in the British army, and now Geographer General to the United States of America. With a plan of the rapids of the Ohio, a plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, a table of the distances between Fort Pit and the mouth of the Ohio, all engraved upon copper.—And an Appendix, containing Mr. Pa- trick Kennedy's Journal up the Illinois river, and a correct list of the different nations and tribes of Indians, with the number of fighting men, &c.
Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY.
THE Illinois country is in general of a superior soil to any other part of North America that I have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar, mulberry trees, &c. some dying roots and medici- nal plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and in the year 1769, one hundred and ten hogsheads of strong wine, were made by the French settlers, from these grapes. A large quantity of sugar is also annually made from the juice of the maple tree; and as the mulberry trees are large and nu- merous, I presume the making of silk will employ the attention and industry of the settlers, when the country is more fully inhabited than it is at present, and especially as the winters are much more mode- rate and favourable for the breed of silk worms, than they are in many of the sea coast provinces. Indigo may likewise be successfully cultivated— (but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat, peas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every sort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of the old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois, both for their own consumption and that of the Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any quantity may be cultivated. Flax seed has hither- to been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be sown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits suc- ceed admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in dif- ferent parts of this territory. The two latter are worked on the Spanish side of the Mississippi, with considerable advantage to the owners. There is plenty of fish in the rivers, particularly Cat, Carp, and Perch, of an uncommon size.—Savannahs, or natural meadows, are both numerous and exten- sive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffalo, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkeys, pheasants, partridges, &c. such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in the greatest variety and abundance.—In short, every thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
