PORTSMOUTH, N. H. May 10. CELEBRATION—on the Seventh Pillar's being raised.
If ever Angels from the skies descend, 'Twill be—the Federal building to defend.
On Thursday last, upon receipt of the agreeable intelligence of the ratification of the NEW CONSTITUTION, by the State of Maryland, a number of patriotic citizens assembled at Col. Brewton's coffee-house tavern, where, after partaking of a collation, and congratulating each other upon the happy event, the following "federal" toasts were drank, viz:
1st. The State of Maryland—may the Constitution they have ratified, prove as beneficial as its framers have illustrious.
2d. The Delegates of the Maryland Convention—may their conduct be remembered till patriotism shall cease to be a virtue.
3d. The New-Hampshire Convention: may a speedy ratification of the New Constitution be the immediate result of their next meeting.
4th. The GRAND FEDERAL EDIFICE: may its spires reach the zenith of fame, justice compose its pillars, and virtue support its base.
5th. The UNITED STATES: may they yet rise superior to those nations who have fought their ruin.
6th. The memory of those heroes who have laid down their lives upon the altar of freedom.
7th. The great American FABIUS: may his virtues, like the sun, impregnate the soil of every American's breast with genuine patriotism.
8th. The Temple of Liberty: may it's doors ever be kept open.
9th. The FEDERAL CHAIN: may it ever be kept bright—and may the fire which has been kindled by seven states, be joined by the other six, and may all unite in smothering the calumet of peace.
10th. His Most Christian Majesty: may his virtues never be forgotten.
11th. Arts and Sciences: may they revive and flourish, and the Federal Government prove their patrons.
12th. The Marquis de la FAYETTE: may the service he has rendered America be engraven upon the hearts of its citizens.
13th. The citizens of Rhode Island: may the scales be removed from off their eyes, and may they join the Federal Edifice under the banners of truth and justice .
It is but a just tribute due to the honorable John Langdon, Esquire, to mention, that the whole expence attending the above entertainment, was defrayed by him; a circumstance which at once proves the greatness of his mind, and the joy he felt upon this so important an event.
From the information we have been able to collect upon the subject, little doubt may be had but the proposed Constitution will be ratified by the Convention of this State, at their next meeting, and that by a considerable majority. Indeed our intelligence from all quarters presages much good—the Federal Building goes on rapidly, considering its extent and magnitude; and we doubt not, but in a short time we shall have the pleasure of announcing its entire completion. "Hail the Day," &c.
PROVIDENCE, May 10. Wednesday last the annual general election was held at Newport, when his Excellency JOHN COLLINS, Esq. was elected Governor; the Honorable JOHN OWEN, Esq. Deputy Governor; and the following gentlemen Delegates to represent the State in Congress, viz:
The Honorable Peleg Arnold, Jonathan J. Hazard, Thomas Holden, and John Gardner, Esqrs.
S A L E M, April 29. We are informed, that Mr. Jonathan Gannett, an ingenious mechanic of this town, has contrived a very useful machine for the sowing of seeds. It performs, with one effort, all the operations of marking the furrows, sowing the seed, and covering it, and may be used by any child capable of performing any kind of manual labor. It is simple in its construction, and may be made for a trifling expence.
W O R C E S T E R, May 15. His Excellency John Hancock, Esq. has three quarters of the votes for Governor of this Commonwealth for the ensuing year. There is no choice of Lieutenant-Governor, General Lincoln has about 10,000 votes, and all the other gentlemen who were voted for, for that office, about 10,200.
WILMINGTON, (N. C.) April 30. We learn from Dobb's County, in this State, that on Sunday the 13th inst. a fracas happened between Col. Benjamin Shepard, and Mr. William Barfield, which originated in a dispute relative to the proposed Constitution; the particulars of which are as follows:
Col. Shepard not agreeing in sentiments with Mr. Barfield, with respect to the new Constitution, and while discussing the subject
(being irritated with Mr. Barfield) proceeded to chastise him with a whip, which an apprentice boy (of Mr. Barfield's) perceiving, took up a broad axe, and struck Col. Shepard on the cheek, and thereby cut off a side of his face, and broke his collar bone. A nephew of Col. Shepard, who happened to be present, rescued the axe from the youth, upon which he took his master's rifle (it being then loaded) and shot at Colonel Shepard's nephew, but providentially only wounded him in both arms, one of which has since been amputated. Our informant adds, that Colonel Shepard has since died of his wounds.
NEW-YORK, May 20.
A correspondent informs us, that of one hundred copies of the "Genuine Information" given by "the hon. Luther Martin, Esquire," printed at Philadelphia, and sent to Baltimore for sale, only one single copy has been sold, and that to a gentleman from Virginia—so truly federal are the inhabitants of the respectable State of Maryland, that the opinion of even their Attorney General against the new constitution, seems to be but little valued by them.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Delaware, to his friend in Portsmouth, N. H. dated March 21st, 1788.
"I am sorry to inform you that times are here growing from bad to worse: A Dutch cutter arrived here a few days ago, and has seized a Capt. Baker, from Rhode-Island, who had eleven hogsheads and four barrels of sugar on board his vessel. The sugar is condemned, and he is sentenced to pay four thousand five hundred guilders fine. We are in hourly expectation of two more vessels to keep us honest. For some time past, not a chair, saddle, axe, or any other article imported from America, which can possibly be manufactured in Holland, has been admitted to an entry, without bonds being given for their re-exportation."

From the Massachusetts Centinel. STOPPAGE OF NEWS-PAPERS.
THE torrent of abuse which hath been poured forth in the antifederal papers, published in New-York and Philadelphia, and in some others whose editors were misinformed, intended to injure the reputation of Mr. Hazard, as Post Master General, and
as a man, is as undeservedly bestowed, as it is without measure.
We were the first to mention, and to deplore the frequent miscarriages of the newspapers; which we supposed were directed to us from the other States. We made inquiry into the cause of this miscarriage; and the result has convinced us, that it was not owing to any mal-conduct in the Post-Master General; but might be imputed partly to the neglect of the Printers, and more to the peculation of the persons who carry the mails on horseback, between Hartford and New-York; who, we are confidently told, do not scruple to break the bundles, and take from, and sell, the newspapers directed to Printers. These mail Carters, therefore, and the Printers, are alone blameable. The former, we are told, will not long be continued in employ; the latter, we trust, will remedy their part of the evil. However, a radical cure will not be effected until the mails are again carried in the stages, as during the time they carried them, no cause of complaint existed.
What then, it will be enquired, has occasioned the invective against the Post-Master General in the papers? It may be replied, to answer a political purpose. Drowning men catch at any thing to keep their heads above water. So when argument has failed, those who experience the failure, will also catch at any thing to keep contention alive: we have, therefore, seen in the antifederal papers, the most unfounded charges against the Post-Master General, (who is esteemed a Federalist) of intentionally stopping the circulation of " antifederal papers ," while the writers in those papers, which are conducted on the broad plan of impartiality, have patiently waited for evidence of the culpability of the persons suspected.
Among the instances of mal-conduct in the officers of the Post-office, set forth by the antifederal writers, the stoppage of the papers, containing the " Reasons of Dissent of the Minority of the Convention of Pennsylvania ," has been the principal: These writers have not scrupled to assert, that the said " Reasons, &c. " were not, in consequence of this malversation, received in this town, until after the adoption of the Constitution by our Convention, and that after they were received, they had a most wonderful effect , in turning people against the Federal plan. The Printers in this town know this to be a falsehood, and it is their duty to undeceive the public (if, in fact, any were deceived) respecting it. The Printer of this paper, assures his readers that he received three copies of these " Reasons ," by one mail, and within ten days after they were signed at Philadelphia, one in Messrs. Dunlap & Claypoole's paper; another in Mr. Bailey's , and a third printed separately by Col. Oswald : other Printers, we suppose, received as many.
The other charges of partial stoppages , made by these writers (which, by the by, are all laid at Mr. Hazard's door) are alike ill-founded, and they will answer no other purpose, than serving to convince the un-convinced part of the world, of the baseness of that cause, to support which its advocates are obliged to resort to misrepresentations, and to falsehoods.
From the Virginia Independent Chronicle. RICHARD HENRY LEE, Esq.
[Continued from yesterday's Paper.] S I R, March 28, 1788.
BUT after that general sense has been obtained, what reason, which would be satisfactory to those states, who may approve the plan proposed, can be assigned? Will they not say—
"You have, here, obtained the sense of all America, through their representatives, and that with only three dissenting votes. What can you promise yourself more? Do you, Virginia , complain of the inequality of representation in the senate, and that a majority are empowered to make commercial regulations? Recollect, that we, in return, give to you a representation for three-fifths of your slaves, and agree, that those slaves shall pay a capitation tax of but six shillings, when we pay a similar one of ten. Will you make no concessions? Will you make no sacrifices? What is become of that patriotic spirit, which you have, formerly, exhibited on many trying occasions? What is become of that generosity, which has, hitherto, characterised your political conduct? What is become of that ready compliance, with which you always submitted to any measure, that might tend to promote the general good? Will you forfeit that character, which as uninterrupted series of patriotic conduct has, universally, obtained you? Will you, now, forego the many important advantages, which you would enjoy from a federal union by making to each other mutual concessions?"
Admit, sir, that there are objections to the federal government. Are they all discovered? It would be presumption to say, that they are, or can be, until it has at first been put in motion. Should we attempt amendments now , it would not prevent the necessity of another convention for that pur-
pose. But should we postpone making amendments, until experience, the only infallible guide, shall have pointed out the real defects, then one convention will answer every purpose, and thus prevent that danger, which you say will arise from frequent changes in government. Nothing, but experience can point out the bad features of a government. For you know, sir, that the English government, which is supposed to be the best in the world, was not produced by a system formed at any one time, but by additions made, when experience pointed out the necessity of them. Neither is the objection to its immediate adoption a good one, which says, "that if too much power is given by this government to Congress, it ought not to be expected, that they will part with it." Because two-thirds of the legislatures of the different States have a right to demand another convention for the purpose of amending it, and if the government should be oppressive, it will be known and felt by each legislature, consequently we safely rely on their exercising this right. America has been without an efficient government from the declaration of independence. Until last year, the calamities, which might have been expected from this situation, have been suspended by the expectation, that they would be remedied in the manner pointed out by the confederations. Since that time, the wisdom of the convention has been thought the ultimate resource. If the result of that wisdom is rejected and distant plans only talked of, the consequences may be fatal.
"With the constitution came" you say "from the convention so many members of the body of Congress, and of those too, who were amongst the most fiery zealots for their system, that the votes of three states being of them, two states divided by them, and many other mixed with them, it was easy to see, that Congress could have but little opinion upon the subject." What do you mean, sir, by those insinuations? Do you wish to prejudice the public against those members? I know them not all, but those whom I do know, have characters too firmly established to be injured by your licentious pen. You wish, I presume, to have it supposed that all public virtue and love for your country are centered in your immaculate bosom alone. What! are you not the man, who—but I will forbear—Good Heavens! could I be roused from the profoundest contempt into anger, I would convince you, that what I have, as yet, said, was but the mild language of friendly reprimand. I would try the utmost exertion of my abilities to prevent your name from sinking into merited oblivion, and endeavor to preserve, for the instruction of posterity the perishable turpitude of your political conduct, by rendering it immortal. But I have done with you. In my humble opinion, your credit is irrecoverably ruined. You have forfeited the esteem of the public, and can no longer lay claim to the confidence of the people. I leave you to God and the suggestions of your own conscience. CASSIUS.

ISAAC MOSES. The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivington's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (designated by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the plan laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimney shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking merits the greatest attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. STEPHEN PATERSON.

To the honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York. The Petition of the subscribers, Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Town of Lansingburgh, in the Patent of Stoneyacabia, in the county of Albany. Most humbly sheweth,
THAT the freeholders and inhabitants of the said town, or the major part of them, have, at great expence, purchased lot of ground in the said town, and made settlements and improvements thereon, for the purpose of carrying on an extensive trade and commerce, and promoting the population of that part of the country. That experience has taught your petitioners, that the regulation of the internal police of the said town, by the votes of the freeholders and inhabitants, or by a committee by them annually chosen for the purpose, is attended with great difficulties and embarrassments, which daily increase and multiply. That the said freeholders and inhabitants, for want of being incorporated, cannot obtain a grant of a considerable tract of land, which has been generously promised to them, as common for fuel and pasture, for the use and benefit of the said freeholders and inhabitants, by means whereof their prosperity and mercantile prospects may be greatly diminished. For remedy whereof, and in order to answer the beneficial purposes intended by your petitioners, they are desirous that the freeholders and inhabitants, residing within the following boundaries and limits, may be incorporated, viz. Beginning at a certain pitch-pine stump, standing on the east bank of Hudson's river, opposite the south end of Whale Island, and running thence S. 60. E. 128 chains, agreeable as the same was run and settled between Stephen Van Ranselaer, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing, Thence N. 19, 45, E. 286 chains and 50 links, as the same was also run and settled between Stephen Van Ranselaer, Esq. and Abraham Jacob Lansing. Thence W. to the mouth of the Herkberg Kill, at Hudson's river, to low water mark, as the magnetic needle pointed in the year 1760; and from thence down along the river, until opposite the said stump, and from thence to the said stump.
Your petitioners therefore pray, that an act may be passed, to incorporate the freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid, by the name of the Trustees of the Freeholders and inhabitants of the Town of Lansingburgh. That the trustees to be named in the said act may be seven, to wit: Abraham Jacob Lansing, John Van Ranselaer, Jorionus Hoogland, Flores Banker, Elijah Jones, Aaron Ward, and John G. Yates. That the freeholders and inhabitants aforesaid may be enabled annually to choose seven trustees, to keep up a regular succession: That the name of Aaron Lane may be inserted in the said act, as clerk of the said town; Christopher Tillman, Esq. as treasurer; and David Henry, as marshal; and that their successors in office, may likewise be annually chosen as aforesaid: And that the Legislature will be pleased to grant such powers, jurisdictions, and privileges to the trustees of the said town, and for the regulation of its internal police, as the Legislature in their wisdom shall deem meet and expedient. And your petitioners will ever pray.
Signed by AB. JACOB LANSING, And above 100 others, freeholders and inhabitants residing within the limits aforesaid described. Lansingburgh, March 8, 1788. In ASSEMBLY, March 11th, 1788. Resolved, if the Honorable the Senate concur herein, that Abraham Jacob Lansing and other Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh, in the town of Rensselaerwyck in the County of Albany, have leave to present to either House of the Legislature on the second Monday after a quorum of both houses shall be convened at their next meeting, after the first Monday in July next, a Bill to incorporate the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Lansingburgh, provided, that the petitioners do cause a copy of their said petition, and a copy of this resolution, to be published six weeks successively in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of New-York, and in one of the public newspapers printed in the city of Albany. to the end, that any person who may conceive his interest affected thereby, may appear at the Bar of either house, and show cause against the passing such bill.
