THE State of North Carolina, by not adopting the new Constitution, is lately become the subject of much criticism and censure. In this instance, having done what is supposed to be wrong, it is hardly admitted that ever she did any thing that was right. We are told that during the war, her exertions were trifling—that she had never contributed to the national expense—and that she now refuses to confederate, from a desire to promote the fraudulent tender of paper money. Charges against the unpopular are usually listened to with avidity, but happily none of these charges are well founded, however current they are in circulation. During the whole of the late war, whenever the neighbouring states were invaded, North-Carolina was sure to lend them assistance. We have seen in the course of one campaign, six or seven thousand men of the North-Carolina militia in one of the neighbouring states, or on their march to its relief; and she now counts three or four thousand of her citizens who fell a sacrifice in Georgia or South-Carolina, to their zeal for the safety of the Union. We say nothing of her continental line, nor of those who fell within the state while the enemy pervaded every part of it. It is probable that such armies were supported without money? Surely not. But North-Carolina has uniformly paid and supported her own militia, though they were in the continental service, and she has furnished provisions to a considerable part of the continental troops in the Southern armies. Who has paid for the vast stores that have been consumed by such bodies of armed men? In other states, commissions have been appointed to settle the claims of individuals against the United States, and certificates for many a million, have been issued by those commissioners; but no such officers have had occasion to settle accounts in North-Carolina, because the state has taken upon itself all the debts that were due to her citizens by the Union, except a small balance that was due to her continental line. These debts have amounted to several millions. Some part is already paid—there is a large balance remaining. From the public accounts it would appear, that in the years 1782 and 1783, North Carolina had paid nothing towards the specific requisitions, while South-Carolina had paid her quota, but this is a difference only in appearance—for the state last mentioned, has a specific credit for all supplies furnished the army from the beginning of 1782, while North-Carolina, that furnished large supplies, stands without any credit, because she has not brought up her accounts. For several years North-Carolina has been oppressed by discharging the debts she had assumed to her continental line, and some others of her citizens—but she has lately begun to make effectual payments into the national treasury. On the last year she paid near thirty thousand dollars in specie, and we are told that she has another large payment ready to be made. It is true that paper money has been issued in that state, and it was made a legal tender, but it is also true, that the general sense of the people is not in favor of fraudulent payments—on the contrary, it is common for juries, in actions of debt, to consider the depreciation, and assess damages accordingly. Has the virtue of their citizens done the same thing in other states, where bad money is a legal tender?—But North-Carolina has not adopted the new Constitution, and therefore it is alleged that she is ant federal, and an enemy to good government. This is the last charge, and like the rest, it is worse founded than people are apt to believe. It is now generally agreed that the new Constitution will admit of some amendments—they have been pointed out. It will also admit of several explanations or alterations, by which it may be rendered, not a better system, but a safer one against the machinations of wicked men. Some of those explanations will doubtless be made by the general concurrence of the states, because they obviate powers, which no man can advocate.—But North-Carolina has proposed one amendment, marked No. 7, which others of the states may not be disposed to make, and yet experience has taught her, as well as Virginia, that such amendment is extremely proper. The state wishes to see the alterations made which she has pointed out, and for this very reason, she wishes to see the new government commence. If eight states only had confederated, when the Convention of North-Carolina sat, perhaps they ought to have made the ninth, but ten states had confederated, consequently the general system was secure. The pause that North-Carolina has made can occasion no delay in the necessary measures, and no state, except herself, can be injured by it. We are told, indeed, that she ought to have adopted the new system, that she might have assisted in making the proposed amendments; but she replies that, if other states are seriously disposed to make reasonable and profitable alterations, they can do it in a short time without her assistance; but if they are dissembling—if they are about to drop the spirit of accommodation, and to hold by majorities what they have gained by accident, she is safest where she stands. A cautious politician has little faith. Let us attend to the Convention. On the 2d of August it was then determined "Whereas this Convention has thought proper neither to ratify nor reject the Constitution proposed for the government of the United States; and as Congress will proceed to act under the said Constitution, ten states having ratified the same, and probably lay an impost on goods imported into the said ratifying states; Resolved, That it be recommended to the legislature of this state, that whenever Congress shall pass a law for collecting an impost in the states aforesaid, this state enact a law for collecting a similar impost on goods imported into this state, and appropriate the money arising therefrom to the use of Congress." It was also on the same day "Resolved unanimously, That it be recommended to the general assembly to take effectual measures for the redemption of the paper currency, as speedily as may be consistent with the situation and circumstances of the people of this state." These acts afford the clearest proof that the Convention of North Carolina was not actuated by the dishonest spirit of paper money. They are also in proof, that she wishes to co-operate with the union, and hold herself in readiness to confederate whenever certain steps are taken, which may readily be taken without her assistance. If it shall be urged that she might now confederate without any danger, and that her efforts would be of use to other states, whose interest is nearly the same, the writer confesses that he is of the same opinion. He thinks that some alterations which equally affect the several parts of the union, will certainly be made, because the spirit of a nation is not to be resisted. But there are two or three alterations which respect the Southern states, that they may have a greater security against illiberal or oppressive combinations; these alterations he suspects will not be made, because the most trifling seeming advantage is seldom relinquished; but he apprehends no danger from the consequence. The evils which North-Carolina apprehends are of such a nature, the measures would be in themselves so iniquitous, and so abhorrent to the feelings of every Southern man, that despotism itself would hardly attempt them, and all its arts and auxiliaries would never be able to put
them in force. Be this as it may, in all abstract questions of this sort concerning the expediency of measures, people are apt to differ, and North-Carolina in the present case has chanced to differ from her sister states; but notwithstanding of such difference, it should be remembered that she has hitherto been second to few of the states in substantial attempts to serve the nation. Her late conduct is free from every charge of selfishness or dishonesty, and we are bound to believe that she is determined to support the Federal Union.
A REPUBLICAN. September 16. Harrisburgh, Dauphin County, State of Pennsylvania, September 3, 1788.
AGREABLY to a circular letter, which originated in the County of Cumberland, inviting to a conference, such of the citizens of this state, who conceive that a revision of the Federal System, lately proposed for the general government of the United States, is necessary, a number of gentlemen from the city of Philadelphia, and counties of Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Lancaster, Cumberland, Berks, Northumberland, Bedford, Fayette, Washington, Franklin, Dauphin and Huntingdon, assembled at this place for the said purpose, viz.
  Hon. George Bryan,  John Dickey,    Charles Pettit,  Hon. John Smiley,    Br. M'Clenachan,  Albert Gallatin,    Richard Backhouse,  James Marshall,    James Hanna,  Benjamin Elliot,    Joseph Gardner,  Richard Baird,    James Mercer,  James Crooks,    Benjamin Blyth,  Adam Orth,    Robert Whitehill,  John Rodgers,    John Jordan,  Thomas Murray,    William Sterrit,  Robert McKee,    William Rodgers,  John Keen,    William Petreken,  John A. Hanna,    Jonathan Hoge,  Daniel Bradly,    John Bishop,  Robert Smith,    Daniel Montgomery,  James Anderson.    John Little,    Blair M c Clenachan, Esquire, was unanimously elected Chairman, and John A. Hanna, Esquire, Secretary.
After free discussion and mature deliberation had upon the subject before them, the following resolutions and propositions were adopted. The ratification of the Federal Constitution having formed a new era in the American world highly interesting to all the citizens of the United States, it is no less the duty than the privilege of every citizen to examine with attention the principles and probable effects of a system, on which the happiness or misery of the present as well as future generations so much depend. In the course of such examination, many of the good citizens of the state of Pennsylvania have found their apprehensions excited, that the constitution, in its present form, contains in it some principles which may be perverted to purposes injurious to the rights of free citizens, and some ambiguities which may probably lead to contentions incompatible with order and good government. In order to remedy these inconveniencies and to avert the apprehended dangers, it has been thought expedient that delegates chosen by those who will for early amendments in the said constitution should meet together for the purpose of deliberating on the subject, and uniting in some constitutional plan for obtaining the amendments which they may deem necessary.
We the conferees, assembled for the purpose aforesaid, agree in opinion, That a federal government only, can preserve the liberties and secure the happiness of the inhabitants of a country so extensive as these United States; and experience having taught us that the ties of our union, under the articles of confederation, were so weak as to deprive us of some of the greatest advantages we had a right to expect from it, we are fully convinced that a more efficient government is indispensably necessary; but although the constitution proposed by the United States is likely to obviate most of the inconveniencies we labored under, yet several parts of it appear so exceptional to us that we are clearly of opinion considerable amendments are essentially necessary. In full confidence, however, of obtaining a revision of such exceptional parts, by a general convention, and from a desire to harmonize with our fellow citizens, we are induced to acquiesce in the organization of the said constitution.
We are sensible that a large number of the citizens, both in this and the other states, who gave their assent to its being, carried into execution, previous to any amendments, were actuated more by the fear of the dangers that might arise from delays than by a conviction of its being perfect: we therefore hope they will concur with us in pursuing every peaceable method of obtaining a speedy revision of the constitution, in the mode therein provided; and when we reflect on the present circumstances of the union, we can entertain no doubt that motives of conciliation and the dictates of policy and prudence, will conspire to induce every man of true federal principles to give his support to a measure, which is not only calculated to recommend the new constitution to the approbation and support of every class of citizens, but even necessary to prevent the total detection of some of the members of the union.
Strongly impressed with these sentiments, we have agreed to the following resolutions:   Resolved, That it be recommended to the people of this state to acquiesce in the organization of the said government; but although we thus accord in its organization we by no means lose sight of the grand object of obtaining very considerable amendments and alterations, which we consider essential to preserve the peace and harmony of the union and these invaluable privileges for which so much blood and treasure have been recently expended.  Resolved, That it is necessary to obtain a speedy revision of said constitution by a general convention.  Resolved, That in order to effect this desirable end, a petition be presented to the legislature of this state, requesting that honorable body to take the earliest opportunity to make application for that purpose to the new Congress. 
The petition proposed is as follows. To the Honorable the Representatives of the Free-men of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met. The petition and Representation of the Subscribers Humbly show. THAT your petitioners possess sentiment completely federal: being convinced that a confederacy of republican states, and no other, can secure political liberty, happiness, and safety throughout a territory so extended as the United States of America. They are well apprized of the necessity of devolving extensive powers to Congress, and of vesting the supreme legislature with every power and resource of a general nature; and consequently they acquiesce in the general system of government framed by the late Federal Convention; in full confidence, however, that the same will be revised without delay: For
however worthy of approbation the general principles and outlines of the said system may be, your petitioners conceive that amendments in some parts of the plan are essential, not only to the preservation of such rights and privileges as ought to be reserved in the respective states, and in the citizens thereof, but to the fair and unembarrassed operation of the government in its various departments. And as provision is made in the Constitution itself for the making of such amendments as may be deemed necessary; and your petitioners are desirous of obtaining the amendments which occur to them as more immediately desirable and necessary, in the mode admitted by such provision.
They pray that your honorable house, as the representatives of the people in this commonwealth, will, in the course of your present session, take such measures as you, in your wisdom shall deem most effectual and proper, to obtain a revision and amendment of the Constitution of the United States, in such parts and in such manner as have been or shall be pointed out by the Conventions or Assemblies of the respective states; and that such revisions be by a general Convention of representatives from the several states in the Union.
Your petitioners consider the amendments pointed out in the propositions hereto subjoined, as essentially necessary, and as such they suggest them to your notice, submitting to your wisdom the order in which they shall be presented to the consideration of the United States.
The Amendments proposed are as follows—viz.

And to be sold by ROBERT HODGE, No. 237, Queen-street. An ESSAY on the Life of the Hon. Major-General ISRAEL PUTNAM: Addressed to the STATE SOCIETY of the CINCINNATI in CONNECTICUT. By Colonel DAVID HUMPHREYS.
THE extraordinary adventures of General Putnam, his rise from obscurity to the highest rank in the state, his exertions in the cause of his country, his military merit and distinguished character, afford a most copious theme for the historian and biographer. Perhaps no man ever encountered death and danger in so many various forms, or with more dauntless intrepidity and success. Many occurrences in his earlier life almost surpass the bounds of credibility, and equal the astonishing fictions of romance. We are happy to be able to furnish the public with an authentic account of the life of an American Hero, in whose character and story curiosity is so deeply interested, and whose adventures have been often reported with many mistaken or fictitious circumstances. The work is equally entertaining and instructive. It contains a concise history of the most remarkable events in the several wars in which General Putnam was engaged. The genius, elegance and ability of the author, are too well known both in Europe and America to need a panegyric. His performance is worthy of his pen, and deserves the encouragement of the friends of literature, as it is the first Essay of American Biography.
