To the FREEMEN of the UNITED STATES.
A Citizen of Pennsylvania in a retired situation, who holds and wishes for no share in the power or offices of his country, and who often addressed you in the years 1774 and 1775, upon the interesting subject of the LIBERTIES of America, begs leave to address you again upon the important subject of her GOVERNMENT.
It is impossible to be happy without freedom, and it is equally impossible to preserve freedom without such constitutions and laws as are adapted to the circumstances and habits of our country.
The rights of mankind are simple. They require no learning to unfold them. They are better felt than explained. Hence in matters that relate to liberty, the mechanic and the philosopher, the farmer and the scholar, are all upon a footing: But the case is widely different with respect to government. It is a complicated science, and requires abilities and knowledge of a variety of other subjects to understand it. Unfortunately from the general prevalence of despotism and the monopoly of power in a few hands, mankind have had but few opportunities of profiting by the knowledge they have acquired from experience in this science. The world for the first time, saw a number of freemen assembled in America to compose a system of government for themselves. It now beholds a scene equally new and illustrious—a body of freemen assembled to correct the mistakes of this government.
How different is the situation of the citizens of America from the rest of mankind! What would be the fate of the millions of our fellow-creatures in the kingdoms of Europe, should they assemble by voluntary association, for this purpose? or what would not the subjects of Great-Britain, who complain of the defect, or corruption of their government, give for this inestimable privilege? Let this comparison kindle in our bosoms a due sense of the value of liberty, and let no pains be spared in composing such a form of government as will preserve it forever.
The present federal constitution was formed amidst the confusions of war, and in the infancy of our political knowledge.—It has been found ineffectual to support public credit, prevent hostilities with our neighbours, and insurrections among our citizens: Hence the name of an American, which was so respectable in the year 1782, in every part of the globe, is now treated every where with obloquy and contempt.
If the evils we have suffered, and the infamy we have incurred, have not been sufficient to induce us to alter our federal government, there is one argument that should possess weight with us that should be irresistible. Mankind insensibly glide into a stable government. The rich and the poor soon grow tired of anarchy. They prefer the order and tranquillity of despotism to popular licentiousness and the oppression of law—hence the success of usurpers in every age and country.
It becomes us therefore to prevent the power which is the offspring of force, by means of a regular constitution founded in a mutual compact between rulers and the people.
There never was a republic of long duration in any country, whose form was not mixed. But this mixture was in most cases unfortunately the effect of accidents, or popular commotions—hence the inequality of liberty in most of them, and hence their corruption or extinction in every part of the world.—I see no reason why a republic composed of a Legislature properly compounded and balanced, where representation is equal and elections annual, should not continue to be the vehicle of liberty to the end of time? We have therefore, my fellow-citizens, no choice left us. We must either form an efficient government for ourselves suited in every respect to our exigencies and interests, or we must submit to have one imposed upon us by accident or usurpation. A bramble will exercise dominion over us, if we neglect any longer to chuse a vine or a figtree for that purpose: The present relaxed state of government in America is no common temptation to ambition. A federal Shays may be more successful than the Shays of Massachusetts-Bay, or a body of men may arise who may form themselves into an order of hereditary nobility, and by surprise or stratagem prostrate our liberties at their feet.
This view of our situation is indeed truly alarming; we are upon the brink of a precipice. Heavens! shall the citizens of America, shall the defectors of the power of George the 3d, and the conquerors of Britain in America, submit to receive law from a bold and successful demagogue, or a confederated body of usurpers? Shall the United States become a theatre on which the crimes of the Cæsar and Cromwells of past ages are to be acted over again? Are the freemen of America to be summed up in account of universal slavery, and transferred like cattle at an auction to the highest bidder? Are our fields to be scratched (for they will not then be cultivated) by the hands of slaves—and is the product of our industry, whether in arts or agriculture, to be torn from us by arbitrary edicts issued from a newly established court of American despots? Was it for this we drew the sword at Lexington and submitted to, or rather embraced poverty, exile, imprisonment, flames, and death, in every stage of the war? Was it for this we triumphed in the recovery of our cities, and in the reduction of the armies of Burgoyne and Cornwallis? Was it for this we exulted in the peace which we extorted from Great-Britain in the year 1782? If it was, then virtue has suffered, heroism has bled, and Heaven itself has blessed us in vain.
America has it in her power to adopt a government which shall secure to her all the benefits of monarchy, without parting with any of the privileges of a republic. She may divide her Legislature into two or three branches. She may unite perfect freedom and wisdom together, and may confer upon a Supreme Magistrate such a portion of executive power as will enable him to exhibit a representation of majesty, such as was never seen before. I mean the majesty of a free people. To preserve a sense of his obligations to every citizen of the republic, he may be elected annually, and made eligible for seven years, or for life.
The more we abridge the States of their sovereignty, and the more supreme power we concentrate in an ASSEMBLY of the STATES (for by this new name let us call our federal government) the more safety, liberty, and prosperity will be enjoyed by each of the States.
The ambition of the poor and the avarice of the rich demagogue, can never be restrained upon the
narrow scale of a State government. In an assembly of the States they will check each other. In this extensive reservoir of power it will be impossible for them to excite storms of sedition, or oppression. Should even virtue be wanting in it, ambition will oppose ambition, and wealth will prevent danger from wealth. Besides, while the eyes of the whole empire are directed to one Supreme Legislature, its duties will be perfectly understood, its conduct will be narrowly watched, and its laws will be obeyed with cheerfulness and respect.
Let the States who are jealous of each others competitions and encroachments, whether in commerce or territory, or who have suffered under aristocratic and democratic juntas, come forward, and first throw their sovereignty at the feet of the Convention. It is there only they can doom their disputes, their unjust tender and commutation laws, their paper money, their oppressive taxes upon land, and their partial systems of finance, to destruction.
Let the public creditor who lent his money to his country, and the soldier and citizen, who yielded her their services, come forward next, and contribute their aid to establish an effectual federal government. It is from the united power and resources of America only, that they can expect permanent and substantial justice.
Let the lovers of peace add their efforts to those that have been mentioned in increasing the energy of a government. An assembly of the States alone by the terror of its power, and the fidelity of its engagements, can preserve a perpetual peace with the nations of Europe.
Let the citizens of America who inhabit the western counties of our States, fly to federal power for protection. The Indians know too well the dreadful consequences of confederacy in arms, ever to disturb the peaceful husbandman who is under the cover of the arsenals of Thirteen States.
Let the farmer who groans beneath the weight of direct taxation, seek relief from a government whose extensive jurisdiction will enable it to extract the resources of our country by means of imports and customs. Let the merchant who complains of the restrictions and exclusions imposed upon his vessels by foreign nations, unite his influence in establishing a power that shall retaliate these injuries, and ensure him success in his honest pursuits by a general system of commercial regulations.
Let the manufacturer and the mechanic who are every where languishing for want of employment, direct their eyes to an Assembly of the States. It will be in their power only to encourage such arts and manufactures as are essential to the prosperity of our country.
To beget confidence in, and attachment to, a new federal government, let us attend to the characters of the men who have met to form it.
Many of them were members of the first Congress that sat in Philadelphia in the year 1774.
Many of them were part of that band of patriots who with halters round their necks, signed the declaration of independence on the 4th of July 1776.
Many of them were distinguished in the field, and some of them bear the marks of the wounds they have received in our late contest for liberty.
Perhaps no age or country ever saw more wisdom, patriotism and probity united in a single assembly, that we now behold in the Convention of the States.
Who can read or hear that the immortal WASHINGTON has quitted his beloved retirement, and obeyed the voice of God and his country by accepting the chair of this illustrious body of patriots and heroes, and doubt of the safety and blessing of the government we are to receive from their hands?
Or who can read or hear of Franklin, Dickinson, Rutledge, R. Morris, Livingston, Randolph, Shearman, Gerry, Mifflin, Clymer, Pinckney, Read, and many others that might be mentioned, whose names are synonymous with liberty and fame, and not long to receive from them the precious ark that is to preserve and transmit to posterity the freedom of America?
Under the present weak, imbecile, and distracted Government of Congress, anarchy, poverty, infamy, and SLAVERY await the United States.
Under such a Government as will probably be formed by the present Convention, America may yet enjoy peace, safety, liberty, and glory.

Messrs. PRINTERS, As Printers are fond of business, giving this a place will oblige a reader, although not brought up at a free school.
NOTWITHSTANDING all the encomiums and epithets bestowed on the Hercules of K. C. by his friend, the K. C. freeholder, as he files himself, and that got by marriage; who has long been the tool of Printers, and ridicule of the public, in his grand performance, in trying to abuse those that never thought him worthy of their notice, and has so ridiculously abused the inhabitants thereof: The votes stand thus for members of Assembly, for Wykoff, 201, for Doughty, 163, for Giles 132. I think it seems to look like a man's turning Quack Doctor, for which he ought to be turned out of a regiment, where he was such.

L O N D O N. March 16.
A letter from Bourdeaux says, "that they have advice from Martinico, that Le Hippopotame, a French man of war of 64 guns, was lost in a hurricane in endeavouring to get into the harbour, and all on board perished, except the Captain, his first Lieutenant, and ten of his men; it also says, that at the same time a great deal of damage was done to several ships in the harbour that were loaded for Europe."
Extract of a letter from an English Gentleman at Paris, dated March 8.
"Laugh as much as you may at the French, you might have been right during the reign of Lewis XV. but it appears to me that his successor has entirely altered the state of things; nay, if he goes on with the same steadiness and indefatigable application as he set out with, for the welfare of his people, we have not a minute to lose in order to take care of ourselves."
"Every thing here with us is quite al'Anglaise now; as is perhaps too much with us a la Francoise; to
prove my assertion, I need only give you an account of what passed last Monday at the meeting of the Notables."
"An address of thanks to the King has been voted by the committees for granting them provincial assemblies, for the new law adopted in favor of the corn trade, and for the plan concerning the Corvees."
"Before the assembly will determine upon the land-tax they require to be acquainted with the state, and the amount of the deficiency, and the sums that are to be levied by the tax, to attain that end, they insist, that all the last estimates of monies received and expended shall be laid before them. This demand is neither granted nor refused."
"Forty-two persons spoke against the Comptroller-General; two prelates, celebrated for the brilliancy of their talents, were obliged to strike the matchless eloquence and the splendid abilities of M. de Callonne."
"On a future day this minister intends to propose some plans of economy in the King's household, which will not be far short of twenty-five millions of livres; about one million and ten thousand pounds sterling."
The Countess de Vergennes widow of the deceased minister, has obtained a pension of 20,000 livres per annum, with the reversion to her two sons for their lives.
Mons. Colonne's speech in the assembly of Notables contains a justifiable though insulting triumph over this country in regard to the liberties of America—his allusion to the commercial treaty has also its point. The speech states, "That their Monarch, after having protected and confirmed the liberty of a new nation, which separated from a rival power, is become an ally: After having terminated an honorable war by a solid peace, and shewn himself worthy to be the moderator of all Europe, has not given himself up to a barren inaction; his Majesty has been sensible how much still remained for the happiness of his subjects, a free and extensive commerce abroad."
The chapel of the Palais at Paris (the court of justice) that of Vincennes, and some others, which went under the denomination of royal chapels, have been all suppressed, and annexed to that of Versailles. The revenues, which are considerable, fall to the crown, and the canons and priests who officiated, or had a comfortable sinecure, will be allowed a pension, as the Celestines, Antonines, and other monks, that had been formerly abolished.—This step is certainly the forerunner of others, and we shall soon see France follow the example of the Emperor of Germany, in abolishing all useless and selfish communities.

Last Wednesday seven of those deluded wretches called Whiteboys, were capitally convicted at the assizes of Limerick, five of whom were ordered for immediate execution, and two were recommended by the jury of Sir S. Bradstreet, as objects of mercy. At the same assizes, Captain Right (who is a Mr. Wright of the county of Cork, a man who is in possession of an estate of 350. pounds a year and personal property of upwards of 10,000l.) was tried and found guilty of a misdemeanor; upon which he was sentenced to be whipped, fined 400l. to be imprisoned for the space of four years, and to give security in 20,000l. as a surety for his good behaviour.
Part of the Attorney General's bill to be debated this night, enacts, that if any person shall print, write, post, publish, circulate, or deliver, or cause or procure to be printed, written, posted, published, circulated, or delivered, any notice, letter or message exciting or tending to excite any riot, tumultuous meeting, unlawful combination or confederacy, or exciting or tending to excite opposition to the administration or execution of the laws, every such person being by due course of law thereof convicted, shall be adjudged a felon, and suffer death as in cases of felony, without benefit of clergy. Should this law pass, two thirds of the Printers may expect to be hanged.

L I T C H F I E L D, May 21.
Last Thursday evening arrived in this town from Hartford, Colonel Samuel Canfield, and Uriah Tracy, Esq. with orders from the General Assembly to repair to the town of Sharon, and put a stop to the insurrection that appeared to be rising in that town. The same evening they set off, accompanied by the Sheriff and one of his deputies, and arrived at Sharon about day-break; and soon arrested 5 persons, who were supposed to be the principal actors and abettors in the insurrection, Dr. John Holbert, Dr. Jonas Barns, William Mitchell, (who was said to act as their Captain) Hezekiah Frisbie, and John Lord; all of whom (excepting Barns, who was permitted to remain on account of his illness) were conducted and safely lodged in our goal, on Saturday last, in order for examination.—It is hoped this early and spirited exertion of our Assembly, will prevent any further disturbance in that town. Much praise is due to the gentlemen employed on this occasion, for their prudence, humanity, and judicious proceedings.
P H I L A D E L P H I A, May 31.
It has been frequently said that the disorders incidental to commerce, work their own cure; and it must yield the patriotic mind sincere pleasure to perceive, that Pennsylvania promises to furnish an additional instance, in proof of that observation. The waste and idle scene that succeeded the extravagant importations of the years 1783 and 1784, begin already to vanish: the stream of the Delaware is again loaded with vessels, and its banks have renewed the tumult of industry. The experience that represents the folly of our past transactions, has likewise provided, it is hoped, the prudence which is requisite to perpetuate the advantages of a regular trade.
Nine States are now represented in the General Convention at the State House in this city.
Extract of a letter from Mercer county, (in the district of Kentucky) dated Feb. 24, 1787.
"The Indians have been very troublesome on the frontiers of Kentucky, many of the out settlers are moving in very fast. A few days past a company of militia turned out after them, killed seven, and wounded four or five, without the loss of a single man."

We are authorised to inform the public that peace is again restored in the county of Berkshire; and that the reports which have circulated for some weeks past, that the insurgents, to the number of 6 or 800, had assembled with design of releasing the prisoners in confinement at Great-Barrington, are without foundation.
Tuesday evening last the Coroner's inquest sat on the body of Andrew Grippell, a cooper by trade, who was found hanging in his work-shop, but how long was not exactly known, as he had not been seen since the Friday before. He had taken pains, with an iron wedge, to raise the floor-board from the upper beam, in the centre of the shop, that he might pass the cord over it, which he did by casting a loop on it, to prevent the possibility of its slipping. From what evidence could be collected respecting him, it appears that he was prompted to the perpetration of that most atrocious of crimes—SUICIDE—from the fearful forebodings of a guilty conscience; having about four or five weeks ago fled from the State of Pennsylvania, where he had seduced a young woman, whom he left pregnant; and seemed to be under the greatest apprehensions of the consequences of his perfidy. Before he committed the horrid deed, he wrote, on the fall of a desk, with chalk, these words, "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Alas! poor wretch, to endeavour to fashion thy high handed offence against the Majesty of Heaven, by an application of sacred scripture to thy impious act, as erroneously as that of Satan's, the enemy of all righteousness, who tempted Christ himself to a similar act, by desiring him to cast himself down from the pinnacle of the Temple—for the Lord had given charge, &c.—The Jury brought in their verdict self-murder.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Norfolk, to his friend in Peterburgh.
"Accounts just received from Halifax, in Nova Scotia, informs of advice from England, relative to a prolongation of the powers granted to the Commissioners, and also enlarges their commission, by allowing them to grant relief unto British subjects in the States, and who were there prior to the war, except only those who bore arms; those who did not will be paid every shilling of property they have lost. A number of claims have been rejected that were offered the Commissioners at Halifax; in consequence of which the King and Council have declared that every person offering surreptitious claims, who shall be at any time convicted thereof, shall be liable to the pains of pillory in some cases, and in others to transportation to Botany-Bay. A large quantity of ordnance stores are arrived—many conjectures about their intentions. This place is linking fast in every shape, and from causes which cannot perfectly be ascertained. A prohibition has lately taken place upon all tobacco, and a variety of other enumerated articles. I trouble you with these lines for the information of our friends in the country."
The following gentlemen are elected Representatives in Assembly for the county of Montgomery; James Livingston, John Winn, Isaac Parris, John Frey, Volkert Veeder, Abraham Arent.
It is indispensably necessary, observes a correspondent, that the laws against vagrants be more strictly enforced. Why are not idle and disorderly vagabonds committed to the house of labour?—This would serve to thin the streets of the city of many dissolute persons, whose common employments are to beg in the day, and, in the night, to prowl about plundering.
Effectually to break those dangerous associations, which serve to exalt villainy into a science, those houses, where people of bad character are known to assemble, ought without exception, to be suppressed. It is these scenes of dissipation and profligacy which seduce the young and unwary—it is these which train up the docile youth to perfection in every act which human nature should revolt at.
A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 2d of April, mention the arrival of the ship North America, Tys de Has, commander, from Baltimore to that city, after a passage of four weeks.

The Maryland Gazette informs us, that Mr. Alexander Dromgoole had lately arrived in that town, on his way to Congress, with an Indian Chief, one of the Cherokee nation. We are told that this Chief's business is principally concerning a treaty held at Hopewell, on the Keowee, between the Commissioners of the United States of America, and the Head Men and Warriors of the Cherokee nation. By this gentleman we learn that the Creek nation are encouraged to war against the settlements of Georgia and Cumberland; and it is said that all their towns at this time are supplied with large quantities of powder and lead, by the Spaniards for that purpose. It is also said that the northern Indians are all determined to take up the hatchet this summer, in retaliation for the depredations committed by the Kentucky people in burning their towns last fall. That there have been some French traders at the Muscle-Shoals, on the Tennessee river, last winter, trading from Detroit, who have been encouraging the Cherokees to go to war, but they pay little attention to their council.
By late accounts from Kentucky it appears that five persons have lately been killed by the Indians on the north side, among whom were a son and overseer of General Scott, who were out on a fowling party. That three women were killed at a place called the Rich Valley, near the head of Holston, and many others killed on the waters of Clinch. Several of the Indians have been seen near the great road that leads from Holston to Winchester, which has alarmed the people very much.
By a gentleman from Charlottesville, we are told that there is a Chickasaw Chief, and a Chickasaw, on their way to Congress; they passed through that town about the 20th of May.

Extracts from the Journals of the Senate and Assembly of the State of New-York. IN ASSEMBLY, April 19, 1787.
THE petition of David McMaster and others, presented to this House on the 10th ult. was again read, setting forth, that Oliver Delancey, James Jauncey, Goldsborough Banyar, and Peter Remsen, in the year 1770, executed conveyances for sundry lots of land in an undivided tract of two thousand acres, lying on the south side of the Mohawk River, granted to Henry Cosby; that several of the conveyances so executed, have never been in the possession of the grantees, who have, nevertheless, sold the lands they possessed; and that the present possessors have paid into the treasury of this State, the proportions of the consideration money which remained due and had become forfeited; that other parts of the said tract of land is possessed by persons who have not purchased, but are solicitous to purchase the title of the people of this State to the same, and praying the interposition of the Legislature in the premises.
Mr. Batcheller, from the Committee to whom the said petition was referred, brought in the report of the said Committee, which was read and concurred in: Thereupon,
Resolved, (if the Honorable Senate concur herein) That Goldsborough Banyar, or the legal representatives of the said Peter Remsen, or the present possessors of the said lots, or any of them, have leave to bring in a bill at the next session of the Legislature, for vesting the title to the said lots herein before mentioned, in the present possessors thereof, upon paying one half of the purchase money of the said lots and parts of lots respectively, into the treasury of this State, and satisfying the said Goldsborough Banyar and the representatives of the said Peter Remsen, for their interest and claim therein, and indemnifying them against the said several persons herein before named, their heirs and assigns; and also for conveying to the present possessors of any other lots or parts of lots in the said tract of land, wherein the people of this State have become interested, by the attainder of the said James Jauncey and Oliver Delancey, such lots and parts of lots upon the like terms.
Ordered, That Mr. Batcheller deliver a copy of the preceding resolution to the Honorable the Senate.

CONDITIONS. I. This work will be printed in two volumes, on a new type and good paper. II. The price to subscribers will be only six shillings per volume, neatly bound and lettered. Non-subscribers seven shillings. III. Those who subscribe for twelve copies will receive a thirteenth gratis.—To Booksellers the usual allowance. IV. As soon as a sufficient number of subscribers appear to defray expenses, the work will be put to press, and finished with all possible expedition. V. A list of the names of the encouragers of this undertaking will be printed at the beginning of the second volume. No money will be required till the delivery of the volumes. Subscriptions are taken in by Thomas Allen, No. 16, Queen-street, corner of the Fly-market; and J. McLean and Co. No. 41, Hanover-square, and all others entrusted with proposals.
TO THE PUBLIC. THIS work is too highly celebrated among the inquisitive and ingenious to render a lengthy account of it necessary. The great number of copies which have been sold in Europe, and the extracts taken from it and published in the different magazines and newspapers is an unquestionable evidence of its literary reputation. To be informed of the soil and produce of this country; of the character, employment and manners of its inhabitants, as observed by a foreigner of distinction in a tour through the United States, is an object of importance to every intelligent American.—The different sieges and battles, and many interesting particulars of the late astonishing revolution are unfolded and commented upon.—The high military rank of the author introduced him to an acquaintance with many of those patriotic worthies who stood foremost in the fields of fame, and in defence of the rights of mankind.—He particularly delineates the characters of Generals Washington, Greene, Gates, St. Clair, Huntington, Lincoln, Schuyler, Knox, Wayne, Glover, Howe, Heath, Moylan, &c. &c. Governors Jefferson, Harrison, Trumbull, &c. &c. Robert Morris, Financier, Mr. Paine, and a great many others. But his attention was not here confined; the fair daughters of freedom claim their share; and it is easy to perceive that the noble heart of the polite Marquis would melt under the rays of American beauty.—Shall it be added, that the exalted station, foreign connections, and superior erudition of the author place him above the suspicion of adulation, and must have dictated to his pen the language of sincerity. This work is therefore calculated, not only to answer the purposes of utility, but to afford likewise the highest entertainment.—The whole is interspersed with curious anecdotes.
This undertaking is the cheapest ever offered to the public; and gentlemen who are desirous to encourage the Manufactures of their country, will doubtless be pleased to think that the price of this book, although printed on an handsome type, good paper and neatly bound and lettered, will be but half the price of the cheapest edition yet imported from Europe.

POET'S CORNER.
M E R C Y.
THE quality of mercy is not strain'd; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed, It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown. His sceptre shews the force of temp'ral pow'r, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings: But mercy is above the scepter'd sway It is enthroned in the hearts of kings; It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice."

PRESENT, The Honorable Peter Ogilvie, Esquire, Judge of the said Court:
WHEREAS Keshah Conkling, only acting Executrix of Benjamin Conkling, late of Huntington in Suffolk county, deceased, hath by her petition presented to the said Judge set forth, that the said Benjamin Conkling, was at the time of his death seized of a real estate within this State, that the petitioner had made a just and true account of the personal estate and debts of the said Benjamin Conkling, as far as she had been able to discover the same, and that thereby it appeared that the personal estate of her said testator was insufficient to pay his debts, & therefore requested the aid of the said Judge in the premises according to the directions of the act entitled, "An act for the relief of creditors against heirs, devisees, executors and administrators, and for proving wills respecting real estates;" and the said petitioner hath delivered to the said Judge the account in the said petition mentioned: Hereupon it is ordered by the said Judge, that all persons interested in the estate of the said Benjamin Conkling, do appear before the Judge of the said Court of Probates, at the Probate-Office, in the city of New-York, on the tenth day of July next, to show cause if any they have, why so much of the real estate whereof the said Benjamin Conkling died seized, should not be sold as will be sufficient to pay his debts.
