Proceedings of the Legislature.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.
MONDAY, December 15, 1788.
Read two petitions respecting the patent of Wallermack, which were committed to the whole House.
Read several petitions for naturalization, which were committed.
Read a petition from Wm. Corkurne, praying further time to bring in a claim on a forfeited estate—referred to the same committee as the petition of William Craft.
The bill was read a second time, and committed.
The bill for putting the constitution into operation, was also read a second time and committed.
A message was received from the Senate, non-concurring the resolution for choosing only three members of Congress, and proposing five: they also sent another resolution, requiring the House to appoint a committee, to meet a committee from the Senate, to take into consideration the appointment of a State Printer.
On motion of Mr. Jones, the last resolution was agreed to, without opposition; and Messrs. Adgate, J. Van Rensselaer, Hoffman, B. Livingston, and Havens, were appointed on the part of the House. [The committee from the Senate, are Gen. Schuyler, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. Tredwell.]
Mr. Harrison then moved to concur with the Senate in the resolution for appointing five delegates to Congress.
Mr. Speaker, said he, when that matter was before the House on Saturday, I remember that the principal argument for having only three, was the additional expense. In matters of such infinite importance, the article of expense ought not to be principally attended to; it was also observed, that we had formerly been represented by three. Sir, the conduct of government for deviating from that number and electing five, is a strong reason why we should agree with the proposition now before us; for, if there had not been cogent reasons for increasing the number, it certainly would not have been done. I believe the true reason was, that by appointing only three, the state was seldom represented. We may better prefer the certainty of a representation to a trifling expense; and tho' the present delegation, it is true, is to be only for a short period, yet in this interval consequences may arise which may affect the latest posterity. Congress may enter into treaties, or other important negotiations that may highly interest our happiness and prosperity. We ought not, therefore, to sacrifice our safety to trifles. I hope sir we shall concur with the Senate.
The question being taken, it was agreed to unanimously.
Mr. Jones moved for leave and brought in a bill for the relief of debtors with the respect to the imprisonment of their persons, which being read a first time was ordered a second reading.
Went into committee on the Governor's speech.
Mr. Low in the chair. After some time spent thereon, the committee rose and reported that they had agreed to a resolution for passing a bill to comply with the requisition of Congress for the year 1788. This resolution was adopted by the House, and the committee of ways and means directed to bring in the bill. [Adjourned.]
TUESDAY, December 16.
The bill for the relief of debtors, with respect to the imprisonment of their persons, was read a second time and committed.
The House then took up the order of the day to nominate and appoint five delegates to Congress.
The following is a correct list of the votes:
Table with 2 columns: Name, Votes. Lists votes for Mr. Jones, Mr. Carman, Mr. B. Livingston, Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Van Cortlandt, Mr. Seaman, Mr. G. Livingston, Mr. Barker, Mr. Kortz, Mr. Yates, Mr. Frey, Mr. Staring, Mr. Vandyke, Mr. J. V. Rensselaer, Mr. Hardenburgh, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Veeder, Mr. Winn, Mr. H. V.

Mr. Yates, Mr. Jones, Mr. Pell, Mr. Gelfon, and Mr. Hathorn, having the greatest number of votes, the House resolved that, on the part of the assembly, they were nominated delegates to represent this state in Congress.
The Senate soon after attending in the assembly-chamber to compare the nominations of both houses; it appeared that they had differed wholly with the assembly, having nominated Mr. Hamilton, Mr. L'Hommedieu, Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Benon, and Mr. Gansevoort.
The two houses then proceeded to ballot for five delegates to Congress—and the votes being collected, stood as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Name, Votes. Lists votes for Abraham Yates, jun., David Gelfon, John Hathorn, Philip Pell, Samuel Jones, Ezra L'Hommedieu, Alexander Hamilton, Egbert Benson, Leonard Gansevoort, John Lawrence, Thomas Tredwell.
Mr. Yates, Mr. Gelfon, Mr. Hathorn, Mr. Pell, and Mr. Jones, were then declared to be duly elected delegates to represent this state in the United States in Congress assembled, for one year, or until the new constitution shall be put into operation.
The house then adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 17.
Two petitions, praying for an exclusive right to work a mine, near Rochester, in Ulster county, were read and committed to Messrs. Verplank, Winn, and Tappen.
A petition from Ananias Cooper and Co. of New-York, praying to have the duty on imported hogs bristles taken off, was read and referred to Messieurs Low, Hoffman, and Barker.
The house then went into a committee on the bill for putting the new constitution into operation:
Mr. Havens in the chair.
The bill having been read, was then taken up by paragraphs.
When the first paragraph was read, which was in substance, that the senators should be appointed in the mode prescribed by the constitution of this state for the election of members of Congress.
Mr. Harrison got up, and moved for the following clause to be substituted in lieu thereof:
"After which nomination the senate and assembly shall meet together and compare the lists of the persons respectively nominated, and if the same person or persons is or are named on both lists, he or they shall be a senator or senators for the United States; but if the said list shall agree only as to one of the persons therein named, and in all cases where only one person is to be chosen, and the two nominations disagree, then, one half of the persons named in such lists and not included in both, shall be chosen by the joint ballot of the senators and members of assembly so met together as aforesaid, but if more than one person is to be chosen, and the lists shall not agree as to either of the persons named therein, then the members of the senate shall at such meeting choose by ballot one of the persons nominated as aforesaid by the senate, and the two persons so chosen shall be senators for the United States."
[On this motion a debate ensued, which, on account of its length, could not be transferred in time to be sent us by the last mail from Albany.]
The following, however, is a list of the votes on the question to agree to the amendment:

Rensselaer, Mr. Cornwell, Mr. Younglove, Mr. Giles, Mr. Watts, Mr. Dongan.

Rensselaer, Mr. Dewitt, Mr. Hardenburgh, Mr. Wisner, Mr. Veeder, Mr. Adgate, Mr. Winn, Mr. Harpur, Mr. Duncan, Mr. Schenk, Mr. Teare, Mr. Akins.
The question on the original paragraph was then put, and carried in the affirmative.
The committee then rose, and the house adjourned.
EODEM DIE, P. M.
In a committee of the whole on the bill for putting the new government into operation; Mr. Havens in the chair.
On reading the clause which declares that the senators for the United States shall be chosen by the joint ballot of both houses.
Mr. Harrison rose and addressed the chairman as follows:
It is my intention, sir, to propose an amendment to the clause now under consideration—I am persuaded that the gentlemen of this committee will, in all their deliberations, be governed by a sincere regard for the interest of their country, and that they will not suffer party views to interfere with that great and important object:—These, sir, are the sentiments of my mind with respect to other gentlemen, and whilst I entertain such an opinion of the motive by which they are actuated, I may surely hope from their candor, that they will attribute the same principle to me.
The committee, sir, I flatter myself, will indulge me, before I go more particularly into the subject matter of the clause, I remind them of the great importance of the object which is meant to be attained by it; it cannot escape the observation of gentlemen, if they will turn for a moment to the new constitution lately adopted by this state—they must then be convinced that it is of the utmost moment to the welfare and happiness of our country that we should be duly represented in the senate of the United States.
Sir, The important powers of making peace and war; of forming treaties and of appointing public officers, are the peculiar powers of that body in conjunction with the president; it must therefore be considered by every gentleman who hears me, as of the utmost consequence that we should have representatives there, to watch over and defend the interests of the state upon every occasion. This surely is an important consideration, and must strike every one who reflects upon it in the most forcible manner.
But there are other considerations which more particularly affect this state, and which should make us anxious to secure a representation in the senate of the United States. It is well known that that the residence of Congress is an object of magnitude, and the money introduced by it into our state of great and general advantage to our citizens. The effects, indeed, of their residence may be more immediately felt at the capital; but nevertheless they diffuse themselves throughout all parts of the state, and I am persuaded that even the inhabitants in the distant counties of Montgomery and Washington partake of them, though in a less degree. The real importance of this object will appear, sir, in a more striking light if we consider the unlimited efforts which have been made by the state of Pennsylvania to draw Congress from us. Sir, there can scarcely be a doubt that if we should fail of a representation in the general senate, we should be deprived of a great and fruitful source of wealth and prosperity.
It may perhaps be urged, and it cannot reasonably be doubted that the representatives of this state in the house of representatives, will be attentive to the preservation of our interests, but our relative weight in that body appears inconsiderable to what we possess in the senate. The combination of a few of the great states to the south-
ward would be sufficient to deprive us of Congress, if it depended wholly on the lower house. But if we are represented in the senate, we shall have a greater chance of security against any such combination, because there the larger and the smaller states, being on an equal footing with respect to numbers, we have a higher probability of success, in our efforts to retain Congress, perhaps for a series of years. And I trust that this important consideration, in addition to those which are furnished by the letter of the constitution, must have no little influence on our present deliberations. Sir, there is another consideration which, from the known sentiments of many among us, I am confident must particularly affect the committee—I mean, Sir, the subject of amendments to the new system of government, which many are looking forward to with an anxious eye. It would be well to remember that the success of any measures which may be adopted upon this subject, must depend in a great degree on our having representatives in the senate of the United States, and therefore I cannot suppose, that we shall persist in any plan which may prevent such a representation.
Having availed myself of the indulgence of the committee, in representing the reasons which induce me to think that the object of the present clause is of such high importance, I now proceed to state the motive I had for insisting upon that topic, and the conclusion which I think is deducible from it, with regard to the clause now under consideration. In the first place then, it must result as a necessary consequence, that if the object of the present clause is of the highest importance, we ought to embrace such measures, and such measures only as produce a moral certainty of securing the end which we have in view.
The committee must be sensible that we can take no effectual measures upon this subject without the concurrence of the senate. If therefore, we pursue a measure in which it is not probable that the senate will concur, we must lose our representation in the senate of the United States. In this view of the subject it becomes the duty of the committee to consider attentively what effect the measure proposed must have upon the other branch of our legislature: According to the form of our state constitution, the two houses possess a negative upon each other; and as the new order of things which has arisen, was not in contemplation when our state constitution was framed, we are left free to exercise our discretion upon the present occasion;—all that can be required is, that the regulations which we now adopt shall be such as are consistent with the ideas and wishes of the other house.
The committee will remember that if the clause under consideration is adopted in its present form, the senate must divest themselves of the constitutional negative upon our proceedings which they now possess. How far they could be justified in giving up that negative may deserve our serious consideration. The powers which either house has derived from the constitution, I regard as a sacred trust, which they are not at liberty to resign, but on the contrary are bound to exercise for the benefit of their constituents.
But whatever may be our opinions upon this subject, I am fully satisfied that as the senate are in the actual possession of this negative, and as they have it in their option to assert their claim to equality with us in the nomination of senators for the United States, they will never be induced to surrender this constitutional right, or to adopt a mode of appointment, which will subject them to be controlled by a majority of this house.
Contemplating the subject in the light I have placed it; persuaded that the senate, as a collective body, can never be induced to resign the power which they have exercised in the appointment of commissioners and other officers not provided for by the constitution; and convinced that they must object to the bill in its present form, because the appointment of senators for the United States is thereby placed wholly in the power of this house, I am firmly of opinion that if the committee adhere to the bill, as it now stands, we shall have no representation in the senate of the United States.—Should this be the case, then follows a train of evils which I have before adverted to—we shall be bound by treaties which we had no share in forming; involved in wars which we had no opportunity of opposing, and governed by officers whom we had no choice in appointing: We shall lose Congress—and shall lose what is the favorite object of the present day, The probability of obtaining a revision of the new system of government.
In point of prudence, therefore, as well as of right, we ought to adopt such a mode of appointment as the senate can acquiesce in. I do not with fir, that the house should part with any of its rights; but I do not consider it as possessing a right superior to that of the senate, upon the present occasion.
In all probability, however, it will be objected that our state constitution has designated a mode for the appointment of delegates to the general government, similar to the one contained in the bill, and that it ought to prevail in the present instance. I confess that I view the subject in another light. I consider the state constitution as having a reference only to such an appointment as might arise under the old government, where Congress was differently constituted and had different powers. A new order of things (as I before mentioned) has now arisen. The constitution of the United States has directed that the continental senate shall be chosen by the legislature of each state. The mode is not particularly prescribed; but whatever mode of election the legislature shall appoint, will be constitutional. The senators are to be chosen by the legislature; and it cannot, I think, be disputed that the senate of this state are a branch of the legislature, and in all the powers of legislation, equal with this house.
I do not suppose it necessary, sir, to dwell longer upon this subject. My proposition is such as I imagine may meet the approbation of the senate and ensure the end which at present we have in view. From the prudence of the committee, I am led to hope that they will concur in such measures as may secure our representation in the senate of the United States, and afford a prospect of obtaining the great objects which depend upon it.
[The remainder of the debates on this subject will appear to-morrow.]

A CAUTION, WHEREAS a certain CHARLES BERRY, formerly of New-Utrecht, in King's county, has fraudulently forged several orders on the subscriber, and negotiated the same in this city.

He is of a middle size, swarthy complexion and down look; sometimes calls himself William Berry, and at other times William Vanselt. ISAAC CORTELYOU. New-Utrecht, King's County, Nov. 25, 1783.

COAL TAR. A Quantity of this Tar, and of black and clear Varnish extracted from Coal, is just arrived, to be sold for ready money only, by Charles Wilkes, No. 12, Hanover-square. The sole Agent in America for the British Tar Company. THE superior excellence of this Tar in preserving the bottoms of vessels from the worms, and in keeping them clean, has been proved by repeated experiments. It has been also found to be an effectual preservative of cast and wrought iron from rust. A description of the different kinds of Coal Tar and Varnish made by the British Tar Company, and of the various uses they may be applied to with the greatest advantage, with directions for using them, may be had as above. 29th Sept. 1783.
The following Certificate of an Experiment made in New-York, is added for the information of the Public. New-York, April 26, 1788. WE the subscribers do hereby certify that on or about the 18th June last, we attended at Van Tuyl's wharf, on the East river, in this city, where we examined three pieces of timber, all of the same dimensions, one payed over with Lord Dundonald's late invented Coal Tar, the other, two pieces with a stout thick coat of common ship stuff (pitch, tar, oil, and sulphur); that we afterwards saw them all chained to and sunk along side said wharf. That nearly six months after, to wit, on the 5th of December following, we again attended at said wharf, when in our presence they were all taken up, and on examining them, the piece done over with the Coal Tar appeared clean and entirely free from grass and barnacles; the other pieces were both very foul, one of them was almost covered with barnacles; that on cutting them in several places we found the worms in full possession of the two pieces payed with the ship stuff, scarcely an inch having escaped them. The piece done over with the Coal Tar was perfectly free from them, and as found and fresh as when put down. From the above experiment we are fully of opinion that the Coal Tar will preserve the bottom of ships from barnacles and the worms, and is worthy of the greatest encouragement. (Signed) John Murray, Thomas Sanders, Andrew Van Tuyl, Stephen Crosfield, John Thompson, Wm. Rhinelander.

Specific Solution. PROVED fully (even in this city) to be the easiest and most effectual remedy ever yet discovered for the cure of the Venereal Disease, to be had only at No. 70, opposite No. 9, Cherry-street. The terms of (no cure no pay) on which this valuable medicine was first offered, afforded an opportunity, by fair trials, of proving its efficacy numbers have experienced it virtues within a very short space of time, and many could vouch for its quick effects were it admissible; but the nature of the complaint forbids the idea. The discovery is entirely new, and afforded to be free from any Mercurial preparation whatever. Persons travelling either by land or water, may have it put up for them with printed directions, on notice of half an hour.
Mutual Assurance Company of the City of New-York, For the purpose of insuring Houses and other Buildings in the said city from loss by FIRE. THE Directors again recommend this institution to the particular attention of their fellow-citizens, and are happy to inform them that from the encouragement it has met with there is no doubt but that it will effectually answer the end proposed—to wit, A certain relief for a very trifling consideration to the parties who shall sustain a loss by fire.
Those persons, and particularly widows, whose support is derived from the rents of houses, are earnestly requested to consider how precarious their situation is, and how soon they may be reduced from a comfortable income to absolute indigence, notwithstanding their utmost care. This institution affords a sure asylum to them in case of distress, and by availing themselves of it, they will relieve their minds from great anxiety. Administrators and guardians of property in houses will seriously reflect whether they do not expose themselves to heavy censure in case of accidents, if they neglect to secure the property entrusted to their care by every prudent means in their power. This office presents relief to the helpless orphans, who might otherwise be totally deprived of every means of education and support. The benefits of the institution, in short, apply to every class of citizens in general, who will do well to consider that if they neglect partaking of them till an accident happens, the barefaced impropriety there would be in seeking relief from the bounty of their fellow citizens, when their own prudence ought to have secured it to them.
It is almost needless to add what is evident to every person, that the greater certainty of success depends upon the extensive number of the company, and those who are parties to it will for their own sakes use their influence to convince others of its utility. The chief difficulties that inevitably attend the first stages of every undertaking, are now overcome, and every additional member is a sensible diminution of the risk.
SKETCH of the Rates and Conditions of Insurance.
FIRST RATE. THAT for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone, with party-walls carried twelve inches or upwards above the roof, and covered with tiles, slate, copper, or other safe materials, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium 3 3/4, deposit, 12 1/2, total, 15 3/4.
SECOND RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, built of brick or stone, covered with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, but without such party-walls as above described, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 4 1/2, deposit, 16 1/2, total, 21.
THIRD RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings built of brick or stone up to the roof, but covered partly with tile, slate, copper, or other safe materials, and partly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 5 1/2, deposit, 17, total, 22 1/2.
FOURTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all houses and other buildings, the outside walls of which are built of brick or stone up to the roof, and which are covered wholly with shingles, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 6 1/2, deposit, 17, total, 23 1/2.
FIFTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed houses, and other buildings, with brick or stone fronts, and the sides filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 7 1/2, deposit, 18, total, 25 1/2.
SIXTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all framed buildings filled in with brick, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 8 1/2, deposit, 17, total, 25 1/2.
SEVENTH RATE. That for and upon insuring all wooden buildings, the premium and deposit on every hundred pounds shall be, for seven years—premium, 10 1/2, deposit, 21, total, 31 1/2.
The essence therefore of insuring five hundred pounds for seven years, on a building as described in the fifth rate, which comprehends the greatest proportion of houses in this city, will appear as follows: Premium on £. 500 at 7 1/2 per cent. £. 1 15 6 Deposit, at 25 1/2 per cent. 7 0 0 Policy and badge, 0 10 0 £. 9 5 6
If the amount of the premium is found sufficient to pay the losses by fire, and the incident expenses of the office, the whole of the deposit will be returned at the expiration of seven years, is 7 0 0
Which shows the expense of insuring £. 500 for seven years may not, in all probability, exceed two pounds five shillings; a small cost for securing a sum for such length of time.
No sugar-house, brew-house, bake-house, still-house, cooper's or joiner's shop, or other house or shop wherein any of the hazardous trades or businesses following are carried on, viz. chymists, ship chandlers, tallow chandlers, flax-keepers, tavern-keepers, printers, malt-driers, oil or coal-men; or which are used as stores for hazardous goods, viz. hemp, flax, tallow, pitch, tar, turpentine, spirits of turpentine, rosin, gunpowder, shingles, hay, straw, fodder of all kinds, and corn unthreshed, will be insured, but on such terms only as the directors shall specially agree.
Any person applying to the secretary of this office for insurance, must deposit twenty shillings for each policy, to defray expenses of survey, &c. which will be allowed in part of such insurance when made, but on default, will be forfeited to the company.
As the Mutual Assurance Company is established on principles of reciprocal advantage, without attending to the interest of any individual, it is necessary that all persons, before their insurance commences in this society, pay their premiums and deposits on receiving their policies, signed by three of the directors, and subscribing the deed of settlement.
Any person insured by this society becomes a member thereof, and is eligible to be chosen a director.
All losses or damages by fire are to be paid or repaired within ninety days from their settlement in the office.
By Order of the Directors, JOHN PINTARD, Secretary. No. 57, King-street. December 2, 1788. Printed by FRANCIS CHILDS, No 190, Water-street, corner of
