BOSTON, October 20. On Thursday his Excellency Gov. Hancock communicated the new Constitution to the General Court, which, with his Excellency's speech, was committed to a large and respectable Committee of both branches.
From the very handsome manner in which our worthy Governor speaks of the new Constitution—and from the observations of several respectable gentlemen of the Legislature, yesterday on it, we anticipate an early day being fixed on by the General Court for the meeting of our Convention—that this State may have the great honor and singular happiness of being the first to adopt a System, second to none in the world.
The respectable town of Derby, in Connecticut, has unanimously voted to instruct their deputies to use their endeavors that their convention may be immediately called.
New-York, Oct. 27.
Last night arrived the British Packet An-telope, in six weeks and three days from Falmouth. Her advices are early in September; but came at too late an hour for this day's paper.
Saturday last, the Senate of Massachusetts, after mature deliberation, passed a Resolve, conformable to the recommendation of Congress, for calling a Convention, to meet at the Representatives Chamber, on the 2d Wednesday in December next; and sent it down for concurrence.
Extract of a letter from Harrison county, Virginia, Sept. 29, 1787.
"On Monday the 10th instant, a young lad discovered a party of Indians stealing horses on the west fork of Monongahia river. Upon which information Major Wm. Lowther, (who has often distinguished himself) assembled a party of volunteers and went in pursuit of them upwards of 140 miles, when on a sudden they approached their camp, fired on them, and killed two and wounded one, (who made his escape) with the loss of only one of our men; we took from them all their horses, four guns, and a considerable quantity of plunder, amongst which were found a white person's scalp."
A letter from a gentleman in Franklin, to his friend in Winchester, says, "Since your departure from hence our political affairs wear a different face. Our Assembly, by a special call from the governor and council, met the first instant: It was the largest that ever met since our separation from the old state, and, I believe, composed of as good characters as could be collected from any nation on the Continent. The principal business laid before this assembly, by our governor, chiefly concerned the hostile behavior of his Catholic Majesty's subjects in the Floridas and Louisiana, towards the good citizens of this state in particular, and the other western states in general. It appears by a number of creditable evidences and authentic papers, that many of our citizens have been deprived of their lives, liberties and properties, within the jurisdiction of the United States, by persons acting under the authority of his Catholic Majesty's governments; and notwithstanding many remonstrances have been made by us, both to his Catholic Majesty's Governors, and to Congress, to remove these grievances, they have remained deaf to our just demands."
"Our Assembly, therefore, as the father of the people, have thought it their indispensable duty to put a stop to all further depredations: To this end both Houses have passed a law, which provides for a body of troops to be immediately raised, to consist of 1500 men, who are to be enlisted as regular soldiers for three years. They are to be embodied in one legion, and commanded by Brigadier General Outlaw , who will be joined by 500 men from the Cumberland settlements. This body of troops will be ready to march in November. Their arms, ammunition, &c. came from Charleston before the law was made to raise this corps."
At a General Assembly of the State of Connecticut, in America, holden at New-Haven, in the said State, on the second Thursday of October, Anno Domini 1787.
WHEREAS the Convention of delegates from the United States, lately assembled at Philadelphia, have reported a Constitution for said States, to be submitted to a Convention of delegates, chosen in each State by the people thereof, under the recommendation of its Legislature, for their assent and ratification: and that each Convention assenting to and ratifying the same, should give notice thereof to the United States in Congress assembled;
AND WHEREAS the United States in Congress assembled, have unanimously resolved, that said Constitution, with the resolutions and letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several Legislatures, in order to be submitted to a Convention of delegates, chosen in each State by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the Convention, made and provided in that case;
RESOLVED by this Assembly; that it be, and hereby is recommended, to the people of the several towns of this State, who are qualified by law to vote in Town-Meetings, to meet on the second Monday of November next (at their usual place of holding Town-Meetings) and chuse delegates to meet in a Convention, for the purposes mentioned in the aforesaid resolves of Convention and Congress. And that each town in this State chuse by ballot the same number of delegates to attend the Convention aforesaid, which they have now a right by law to chuse for Representatives in the General Assembly; and the towns of Colebrook and Barkhamstead, which are not represented in the General Assembly, chuse each of them one delegate to attend said Convention: and that the said delegates who attend the said Convention, shall be allowed the same sum for their travel to, and attendance in said Convention, as the Representatives in the General Assembly are entitled to, and may make up their debenture, and receive the same from the treasurer accordingly.
AND it is further Resolved, that the delegates so chosen assemble on the First Thursday in JANUARY next in the City of HARTFORD; and, when so assembled, that they chuse a President and Secretary for the said Convention; and it shall be the duty of the select men, in the several towns, to warn the voters of their respective towns, to meet on the said second Monday of November next, for the purpose of chusing such delegates; and that such meeting shall be under the same regulations, as other Town-Meetings are by law; and that the certificates of the choice of delegates in the respective Towns, shall be made by the Town-Clerks in such towns.
AND that the Sheriff of the county of Hartford be, and he is hereby directed, to make provision for the said Convention in the same manner, as for the General Assembly when sitting, and his account being allowed by said Convention, shall be paid by the Treasurer of this State.

C A T O, No. III.
To the CITIZENS of the STATE of NEW-YORK.
IN the close of my last introductory address, I told you, that my object in future would be to take up this new form of national government, to compare it with the experience and opinions of the most sensible and approved political authors, and to shew you that its principles, and the exercise of them, will be dangerous to your liberty and happiness.
Although I am conscious that this is an arduous undertaking, yet I will perform it to the best of my ability.
The freedom, quality, and independence which you enjoyed by nature, induced you to consent to a political power. The same principles led you to examine the errors and vices of a British superintendence, to divert yourselves of it, and to reassume a new political shape. It is acknowledged that there are defects in this, and another is tendered to you for acceptance; the great question then, that arises on this new political principle, is, whether it will answer the ends for which it is said to be offered to you, and for which all men engage in political society, to wit, the mutual preservation of their lives, liberties and estates.
The recital, or premises on which this new form of government is erected, declares a consolidation or union of all the thirteen parts, or states, into one great whole, under the firm of the United States, for all the various and important purposes therein set forth.—But whoever seriously considers the immense extent of territory comprehended within the limits of United States, together with the variety of its climates, productions, and commerce, the difference of extent, and number of inhabitants in all; the diffimilitude of interest, morals, and politics, in almost every one, will receive it as an intuitive truth, that a consolidated republican form of government therein, can never form a perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to you and your posterity, for to these objects it must be directed: this unkindred legislature therefore, composed of interests opposite and dissimilar in their nature, will in its exercise, emphatically be, like a house divided against itself.
The governments of Europe have taken their limits and form from adventitious circumstances, and nothing can be argued on the motive of agreement from them; but these adventitious political principles, have nevertheless produced effects that have attracted the attention of philosophy, which has established axioms in the science of politics therefrom, as irrefragable as any in Euclid. It is natural, says Montesquieu, to a republic to have only a small territory, otherwise it cannot long subsist: in a large one, there are men of large fortunes, and consequently of less moderation; there are too great deposits to intrust in the hands of a single subject, an ambitious person soon becomes sensible that he may be happy, great,
and glorious by oppressing his fellow citizens, and that he might raise himself to grandeur, on the ruins of his country. In large republics, the public good is sacrificed to a thousand views; in a small one the interest of the public is easily perceived, better understood, and more within the reach of every citizen; abuses have a less extent, and of course are less protected—he also shews you, that the duration of the republic of Sparta, was owing to its having continued with the same extent of territory after all its wars; and the ambition of Athens and Lacedemon to command and direct the union, lost them their liberties, and gave them a monarchy.
From this picture, what can you promise yourselves, on the score of consolidation of the United States, into one government—impracticability in the just exercise of it—your freedom insecure—even this form of government limited in its continuance—the employments of your country disposed of to the opulent, to whose consummery you will continually be an object—you must risk much, by indispensibly placing trusts of the greatest magnitude, into the hands of individuals, whose ambition for power and aggrandizement, will oppress and grind you—where, from the vast extent of your territory, and the complication of interests, the science of government will become intricate and perplexed, and too mysterious for you to understand, and observe; and by which you are to be conducted into a monarchy, either limited or despotic; the latter, Mr. Locke remarks, is a government derived from neither nature, nor compact.
Political liberty, the great Montesquieu again observes, consists in security, or at least in the opinion we have of security; and this security therefore, or the opinion, is best obtained in moderate governments where the mildness of the laws, and the equality of the manners, beget a confidence in the people, which produces this security, or the opinion. This moderation in governments, depends in a great measure on their limits, connected with their political distribution.
The extent of many of the States in the Union, is at this time, almost too great for the superintendence of a republican form of government, and must one day or other, revolve into more vigorous ones, or by separation be reduced into smaller and more useful, as well as moderate ones. You have already observed the feeble efforts of Massachusetts against their insurgents; with what difficulty did they quell that insurrection; and is not the province of Maine at this moment, on the eve of separation from her. The reason of these things is, that for the security of the property of the community, in which expressive term Mr. Locke makes life, liberty and estate, to consist—the wheels of a free republic are necessarily slow in their operation; hence in large free republics, the evil sometimes is not only begun, but almost completed, before they are in a situation to turn the current into a contrary progression: the extremes are also too remote from the usual seat of government, and the laws therefore too feeble to afford protection to all its parts, and insure domestic tranquility without the aid of another principle. If, therefore, this state, and that of N. Carolina, had an army under their controul, they never would have lost Vermont, and Frankland, nor the State of Massachusetts suffer an insurrection, or a dismemberment of her fairest district, but the exercise of a principle which would have prevented these things if we may believe the experience of ages, would have ended in the destruction of their liberties.
Will this consolidated republic, if established in its exercise, beget such confidence and compliance, among the citizens of these states, as to do without the aid of a standing army—I deny that it will.—The malcontents in each state, who will not be a few, nor the least important, will be exciting factions against it—the fear of a dismemberment of some of its parts, and the necessity to enforce the execution of revenue laws (a fruitful source of oppression) on the extremes and in the other districts of the government, will incidentally, and necessarily require a permanent force to be kept on foot—will not political security and even the opinion of it, be extinguished? Can mildness and moderation exist in a government, where the primary incident in its exercise must be force? Will not violence destroy confidence, and can equality subsist, where the extent, policy, and practice of it, will naturally lead to make odious distinction among citizens?
The people, who may compose this national Legislature from the Southern States, in which, from the mildness of the climate, the fertility of the soil, and the value of its productions, wealth is rapidly acquired, and where the same causes naturally lead to luxury, dissipation, and a passion for aristocratic distinctions; where slavery is encouraged, and liberty of course, less respected, and protected; who know not what it is to acquire property by their own toil, nor to economise with the savings of industry—will these men therefore be as tenacious of the liberties and interests of the more Northern States, where freedom, indepen-
dence, industry, equality, and frugality, are natural to the climate as soil, as men who are your own citizens, legislating in your own State, under your inspection, and whose manners, and fortunes, bear a more equal resemblance to your own?
It may be suggested, in answer to this, that whoever is a citizen of one State, is a citizen of each, and that therefore he will be as interested in the happiness and interest of all, as the one he is delegated from; but the argument is fallacious, and, whoever has attended to the history of mankind, and the principles which bind them together as parents, citizens, or men, will readily perceive it. These principles are, in their exercise, like a pebble cast on the calm surface of the river, the circles begin in the centre, and are small, active, and forcible, but as they depart from that point, they lose their force and vanish into calmness.
The strongest principle of Union resides within our domestic walls. The ties of a parent exceed that of any other; as we depart from home, the next general principle of Union is amongst citizens of the same state, where acquaintance, habits, and fortunes, nourish affection, and attachment; enlarge the circle still further, and, as citizens of different States, though we acknowledge the same national denomination, we lose the ties of acquaintance, habits, and fortunes, and thus, by degrees, we lessen our attachments, till, at length, we no more than acknowledge a sameness of species. Is it therefore, from certainty like this, reasonable to believe, the inhabitants of Georgia, or New-Hampshire, will have the same obligations towards you as your own, and preside over your lives, liberties, and property, with the same care and attachment? Intuitive reason answers in the negative.
In the course of my examination of the principles of consolidation of the States into one general government, many other reasons against it have occurred, but I flatter myself, from those herein offered to your consideration, I have convinced you that it is both presumptuous and impracticable consistent with your safety. To detain you with further remarks, would be useless—I shall however, continue in my following numbers, to analyse this new government, pursuant to my promise. C A T O.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repairs the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory 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 best and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the Scotia, 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 slants: the differ- ence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- tween 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, skill- lets, griddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling- kettles, boiler for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cakes, cast bars for fu- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for sit- 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 stoves elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouzes or 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, calcing plates for making pearlashes, cast iron frews or tulling and paper-mills, fullers plates, cast to any size that may be wanted, fash-weighs, forge- hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred, quarters, fourteen and eleven 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. Adee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS , No. 48, Great Dock-Street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. tf
