[No. 959.]
To be Sold Cheap at private Sale, THE place which William Provost formerly occupied, which for elegance of situation is perhaps equal to any in the State of New-Jersey, it lies three quarters of a mile from the church of Hackinack, and extends from the river up the road towards Paramus, being intersected by the road leading to the New Bridge: On the Lot next the river is a Stone DWELLING-HOUSE, two story high in front, and three in rear, having a fine dry Cellar and a Dwelling-Room underneath on the ground floor, (being built on the declivity of a hill) with a large Kitchen adjoining: Also, a Poultry-House and a new Barn; in the rear of the Dwelling-House is a beautiful Green, ornamented with Fruit-Trees; between which and the river, lies a valuable piece of Meadow, yielding about twenty-four loads of English hay yearly: to the rear of the meadow is a spacious and substantial Dock, newly made, on which is a Store with a large quantity of ashes, an extraordinary Spring and Well at the Dwelling-House, from which the Meadow may be watered: There is also a Garden with a variety of the best Fruit-Trees: On the Lot on the opposite side of the road stands a commodious Store, commanding the trade of the back country; also a young Orchard of good Fruit-Trees. The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land; the Land has been well manured with ashes: the whole of the Land inclosed with a new substantial fence. The beauty of this situation, and its advantages for trade, make it eligible either as a Country Seat or a place of business. To be sold in three different Lots, or the whole together, as may best suit the purchaser; if not sold by the first day of April next, then to be rented.

MIDDLE TOWN, March 3. Capt. William Nott, from Aux-Cayes, has favoured us with the following extract from his Journal.
"Jan. 30, 1787. The first part of these 24 hours saw two Sloops running down— I had round the S. W. point of Heneauga—shorten'd sail—half past one P.M. the two Sloops came up with me. They were from Bermuda on a wrecking voyage, commanded by two Captains Albey. It being too late to run for the Hoglites, I went in with them to anchor at the great Bay near the watering place. The oldest of the Captains sent his skiff—I went on board the youngest Capt. Albey, with whom I had a slight acquaintance in Bermuda;—he went on shore and shewed me the watering-place. They informed me that on the 2d or 3d instant, they came to this island and found 77 people on shore, men, women and boys. They had been on shore four days without victuals or drink, and many without a rag of cloaths to cover their nakedness. They were landed on the S. W. part of the island, from on board the Brig Chance, has a fiddle head, from Dublin, bound to Baltimore, the Captain's name Patrick Stafford, the owner, super cargo, or captain commander's name is Connor, chief mate's name is Hopkins, second mate's name is Montgomery. It seems that this Mr. Connor, (or Connor) was the chief actor in this inhuman piece of villainy; he took them in at Dublin—many of them paid him seven guineas—particularly a watch-maker whom he promised a cabin-passage, but as soon as they were to sea, he turned them all into the hold. On the passage he searched them and plundered them of all their money watches and cloaths. Before he had landed them he told them it was Trinidad, and there were two towns on it. He landed them by tens, the boat not being large enough to carry more at a time. The first ten tried, in vain, to find some road, and returned to the boat when they came the second time, endeavouring to get off again, but the inhuman villain fired on them, killed one and wounded another, then landed the remainder and immediately went off for Jamaica. They were taken off in a most miserable condition, naked exposed to sun, rain, and swarms of musketoes, by a sloop belonging to Bermuda, and carried to New Providence. Among them were 24 women, several of them far advanced in pregnancy." Capt Nott saw two of the boys.
NEW-YORK, March 19.
We are informed, that the Board of Treasury has appointed George Reade, Esq. Commissioner, for settling the accounts between the United States and South-Carolina, in the room of William Aerton, Esq. resigned.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, POUGHKEEPSIE.
Friday, March 7. 1788. [Continued.]
The House went again into a Committee on the Supply Bill: Mr. Sickles in the Chair. On motion of Mr. Speaker, a clause was added, directing the Auditor to settle the account of the Corporation of New-York, for the expence of fixing up the Monument of Gen. Montgomery, and directing the Treasurer to pay such balance, as the Auditor may certify to be due. (This will be about £.141. The whole expence on this occasion, amounting to £.191,—50 of which is already paid.)
On motion of Mr. Benson, a clause was added, making an allowance of thirty-two shillings per day, to the Delegates of this State, in the late General Convention.
Mr. Benson then made a motion, That there be allowed to each of the Judges of the Supreme Court, the sum of per day, for their expenses, for each day they shall have been severally travelling to and from, and attending the several Circuit Courts, (excepting the Circuit Courts in the cities of New-York and Albany,) since the first Monday in July last, to the time of passing this act.
On this motion, a division was called without much debate.
Affirmative. Messrs. Jones, Dongan, Niven, Doughty, Sylvester, Tearse, Speaker, Van Orden, Frey, Areut, Tillotson, Powers, Benion, Low, Verplanck, Brooks, Clinton, Lewis, Harrison. 19.
Negative. Messrs. Carman, Cornwall, Winant, J. Smith, Baker, Patterson, De Witt, Gilbert, Strang, Webster, Savage, Schoonmaker, Cantine, Bruyn, Bloom, Hedges, Osborn, Wisner, Younglove, Tompkins, N. Smith, Drake, Wijn, Clarke, Lockwood, Thomas. 26.
Mr. Brooks moved for the following clause. "And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Treasurer of the State be, and he is hereby authorised and required, after payment of the several sums herein before mentioned, to set apart, and apply such sum as will be sufficient for the payment of one third part of the monies remaining due on the Certificates, issued for the four-fifth parts of the interest."
of the Public Securities, which have been loaned to this State, by virtue of the act, entitled, "An Act to emit £.200,000 in bills of credit, for the purposes therein mentioned," passed the 18th of April, 1786; which said sum, shall be distributed to the several holders of the said Certificates, in proportion to the respective amount thereof, and the sum paid upon each Certificate, shall, by the said Treasurer, be endorsed thereon."
He believed little need be said, to explain this business; it was sufficiently known what was the object of it. He thought it his duty to bring forward this clause, because he considered the obligation on the State was under, of such a nature, that it could not be dispensed with, without the grossest violation of public justice. He adverted to the peculiar circumstances under which the loan was obtained, and left it to the Committee to determine, whether they would pay attention to it or not. He was aware of the low state of our Treasury, and had not therefore come forward with a proposition to discharge the whole of the debt; he only aimed at what was practicable, and wished that the faith of the State, which had been so sacredly pledged, might be preserved. But he had heard it said, that as our public faith had been frequently broken, it might again be done. The manner in which this debt had been contracted, was of a special nature. The State had taken from its citizens, Certificates, of the United States, upon which Interest Facilities might have been drawn, which, in some of the States, had been as high as 16% in the pound, and had not the State contravened the designs of Congress, the Facilities would have been as high, or nearly as high in this State; but at present they were not in demand, as they were only to be disposed of, to such States as sink them in taxes. If there was any money in the treasury, this should be one of the first engagements that should be discharged. He asked, what would be the reasoning of the citizens if they were neglected? They would accuse the Legislature of having pursued such measures, as were calculated only to deceive and defraud them. They would never more have confidence in that Government which deceived them on every occasion, with specious promises, with a view only to take the advantage of them.
Mr. Jones, trusted that no arguments were necessary to convince the Legislature, that they ought to comply with their engagements, as far as was possible. But he would ever bear his testimony against plunging the State into further difficulties, and thereby to cause fresh breaches of public promises. In the last session, an appropriation was made, because the State was then in ability to do it, but when that appropriation was paid, it was declared that Congress should receive the remainder of the requisition. Was it intended to apply this money to the discharge of the interest, and to counteract that solemn law of the Legislature? If that was the intention, such a clause should be brought forward. What could the Treasurer do? The Legislature, at their last session, declared that he should discharge the requisition of Congress; to set apart now as much money as would pay off the interest, would take it out of his power. The money was not even now in the treasury, and no man could say when it would be there. This clause would forestall other appropriations. It would be inconsistent. If the clause was brought forward in any proper shape, it must be in taking away the money appropriated to Congress, which he never could agree to.
The only thing that could be done would be to lay a tax in Certificates, and he doubted much the ability of the State, to support a tax. He should vote against the clause now brought forward.
Mr. Brooks said, he did not see how the breach of one obligation was more inconsistent than the breach of another; nor did he know which was the strongest obligation, that of keeping our faith to our citizens, or to the United States: the contract entered into with our citizens, was voluntary, and not the effect of any pressing emergency. It was done at a time when the Legislature knew the resources of the State; what they could do, and what was the amount of the revenue: and since that time, they had experienced no particular calamity to take away the means. He calculated that a considerable sum would come into the Treasury during the present year, to wit, 40,000. for imposts, 40,000. for the last 50,000. tax, besides something considerable for arrears of taxes. If when the appropriations that had been made and the installment due to the United States, were satisfied only 10,000. should remain in the Treasury, it ought to be applied to the discharge of the interest notes. It was not for him to determine which obligation should be attended to, the discharging what had been promised to Congress, or to the citizens of the State. If one or the other must remain unpaid, he left it with the Committee to make an election. He asked, what would be the consequence of neglecting to make some provision for these certificates this session.
The gentleman had said that if provision could not be made for discharging the interest at present; it did not follow but that it might be done when the State was more able. What effect would this have? Would not the certificates immediately fall in their price, and when they were all bought up at 2s. in the pound then perhaps provision would be made for them: would not this open a door to stock jobbers, and operate very unequally on the purses of the citizens of the State? He would leave it to the Committee whether something ought not to be done every session; if it was passed over in silence, the inference would be, that they were neglected, or that the Legislature would not do any thing for them. They might very well ask if their claims on the justice of their representatives were not as well founded as the claims of the United States, whose civil list for several years had been supported by this State. In order that some calculations might be made; and to give time for a due reflection on this business, he wished the Committee to rise.
Mr. Jones readily admitted that the contract was voluntary on the part of the State, but it was equally so on the part of the citizens. The citizens who held their facilities under a resolution of Congress, acted at their discretion. It was a very unhappy circumstance that the State was not able to be punctual; but he would venture to say, that it is impracticable, unless the State would bear a very heavy tax. If the Committee thought that was right, a Bill might then be prepared. But it was disgraceful for the State to be repeating promises, and giving new notes and bonds, like a man unable to pay his debts; why should appropriations be made without money, and new promises held out, only to be again broken? If the Members of the Legislature owed the money, the citizens would have a right to call on them and make complaints. With respect to the sums that might be in the Treasury, all calculations were idle; no man could tell what sum of money would come in during the present year. He had no objections to a clause that would say, that after all the other engagements are complied with, if any money was left in the Treasury, that it should be equally divided among the certificate holders, in proportion to their demands. For his part he was ready to vote on the question, and he did not believe that any additional light would be thrown on the subject by delay. If it was intended to pay our citizens that sum which was already appropriated to Congress, it should be declared that the Committee might know on what ground they voted. If the clause was agreed to, it would be holding out deception; and if the Legislature had once done wrong, he hoped it might be no argument that they should again do so.
Mr. Brooks said, that the gentleman had shown a very plausible reason, by way of excuse, for not complying with the engagements of the State, that the citizens were not compelled to make the loan, but was it the intention of the Legislature that they should scruple their faith ? The argument was very subtle, but very fallacious; it supposes that the citizens are to have no more confidence in Government; that they are to be told, why did you believe us? You were not compelled to make the loan; the business was all voluntary, and therefore the State will pay no respect to its obligations. But it may plainly be shown, they were compelled to make the loan; the State had contravened the act of Congress, which was intended to benefit the citizens, by not acceding to the resolution: for what purpose then should they have held the certificates? There was no alternative for them, but either to have trusted the State, or to have let their certificates remain in their closets. The State had officially undertaken to be agent for the people, and it had deceived them; but it was not fair to upbraid the citizens with their folly in relying on the justice of the State, and to say, "why did you deal with us? You might have known we would have cheated you." But the gentleman had not declared which was the most obligatory, the promise to Congress, or that to the citizens of the State. The ability of the State to pay taxes had been doubted; if the citizens received what was due to them from the public, this inability would in some measure be removed; for they could then better pay taxes. He was of opinion that they could be paid. But he would not trouble the Committee longer. He submitted his sentiments to the Committee, and to the world. —The gentlemen, (Mr. Jones,) had said that it would be going beyond the abilities of the State; this he would not admit; appropriations were spoken of, that were not even in the Bill, and for fear there should be appropriations afterwards, nothing would be done for the Interest Notes. He was not contending for the discharge of this debt all at once. In order that some calculations might be made of the probable amount of the revenue, he again moved that the Committee rise.
Mr. Jones said, that most of this harangue might have been spared. He could
show the fallacy of most of the reasoning that had been used (Mr. Brooks begged he would do it) but he would forbear going into any arguments on this occasion, as he well knew it would lead to an improper and useless discussion. To complain of the breaches of contracts, and the propriety of having made them would not fill the treasury. The gentleman had asked for a distinction between the promise made to Congress, and that made to the citizens of the State. He could only answer, that the State was equally bound to comply with all its contracts. Respecting appropriations not yet made, he repeated, that as the clause stood, it would forestall all other appropriations. All he contended for was, that no more promises should be made, when there was no prospect that they could be complied with. We are told, said he, of the frequent breaches of public faith; and yet we are going to make more of them. It had been said that if the citizens had their interest paid to them, they would be enabled to pay taxes: in 1786, 50,000. had been distributed among the public creditors, and a 50,000. tax was laid; little of which had yet reached Treasury; and all that had come in by tax and a great deal more than could be otherwise expected, was already appropriated. The gentleman had talked of statements; but to what use was it to make calculations by guess. He could also declaim, was it necessary, though perhaps not so well as the gentlemen who advocated the measure. It should be considered what are the means of complying with this engagement of the State; he knew of none but a tax in certificates. However, he would be content if the Committee should rise, though he saw no use in it.
Mr. Brooks said the gentleman had obliged him to rise again, he would now endeavor to speak without saying anything that might be called declamation; he would not raise his voice above a certain pitch; he would speak slow and cautiously; and he would endeavor to appear cool, deliberate and wise! he would beg the gentleman's pardon if any of his declamation, or what he had been pleased to call such, had given him offence. He hoped, however, that the Committee were not to be led away by declamation; it was not his province to declaim: He was unaccustomed to it. He spoke of facts, and they were not to be contradicted.
The remainder of this day's proceedings tomorrow.
