PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28.
A correspondent cannot help remarking on the shifting inconsistent conduct of the antipederal politicians—One half of them decry the Constitution, because men of education, great names, and the wellborn, were the constructors of it.—The other half declaim against it, because men uneducated, men of common sense and mechanics, had a hand in erecting it. Many of their writers declare it is a Constitution, which our rulers (the conspirators and demagogues) are going to rivet upon us: But Luther Martin, at the close of his information, complaint heavily, that it is to be forced upon us through the medium of the people—that the State Legislatures alone ought to decide upon it, and that the people have no right to judge for themselves, whether it is a government they will chuse to live under.
New-York, March 5.
We are desired to publish the following extract from the SPEECH of his Excellency the GOVERNOR, at the commencement of the present session; with the answer of the Senate and Assembly.
"Advantages will therefore result from the punctuality of past payments, as a greater proportion of the resources of the State may now be applied to the relief of our own citizens."
Answer of the SENATE.
"IT affords us real satisfaction to learn, that, from the arrangements of the National Finances, this State will experience those benefits, which it had reason to expect from its exertions on former occasions; this satisfaction is increased by the reflection, that it will afford the Legislature an opportunity of applying a considerable portion of the resources of the State to the diminution of its own debt."
Answer of the ASSEMBLY.
"And we are happy to find, that the present demands on us, are principally for the arrears due on former requisitions, as we shall thereby have it more in our power to provide for the relief of our own citizens."
A correspondent, who supposes Mr. Childs has been long enough resident at Poughkeepsie, to be in the secret, requests he will inform his numerous readers, whether any steps have been taken, and what, to make good the congratulations of the two Honorable Houses, now assembled?
Left the report of the Treasurer of this State should be totally forgot, it may be necessary to remind those whom it may concern, that on the 2d of January last, there was in the Treasury the sum of £.21,852. That a tax is now collecting of 50,000 The customs for the year, at any rate 60,000 Auction duty, 3,000
£.134,852
May the State Creditors, in number, not less than five thousand, hope to receive any part of this sum, or how can it be otherwise disposed of?
We lately announced to our friends the patriotic, temperate and manly conduct of the minority of the Massachusetts Convention. We are happy in being able to inform them, that the Eastern papers give us an authoritative assurance that the Honorable Eldridge Gerry, Esq. of that State, who declined to sign the recommendation of the New Constitution, in the Federal Convention, now declares, since it has received the sanction of the majority of the people, that he will firmly support it.
On account of the severity of the weather, the route of his Britannic Majesty's Packet is altered; and he will proceed To-morrow (wind and weather permitting) directly for Falmouth, without touching at Halifax.
On the 18th of December last died, at his house at Hackney, near London, in the 59th year of his age, John Barclay (son of David Barclay, late of that city, who wrote the apology for the Quakers). His loss will long be severely felt, not only by his immediate connections, but by numbers who have experienced the spirited efforts of his active friendship. His benevolence was so universal, his desire of doing good was so ardent and invariable, that instead of making a long confinement to his house, and a weak frame of body, a plea for declining to promote the welfare and success of those who applied to him for assistance, he cheerfully and zealously undertook their case, though often to the detriment of his health: and he cordially relieved the distresses of the necessitous, and of those who were ready to perish. In an age when the property of the rich is wasted on the most contemptible trifles, and exhausted merely in selfish gratifications; when the number of those who seek occasion to do good is so confined; the death of such a man as John Barclay is, and should be considered and lamented as a public loss.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, POUGHKEEPSIE.
Saturday, February 23, 1783.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.

The Bill for dividing the Counties of this State into towns, was read a third time.
Mr. Winant made a motion that the Bill be re-committed, for the purpose of making amendments in that part of it which relates to the County of Richmond; as he had positive instructions from his constituents not to agree to any alterations being made with respect to the division of said County.
On this motion a division was taken: Affirmative. Messrs. Carman, Cornwall, Winant, Doughty, Sylvester, Arent, Savage, Brooks and Clarke. 9.
Negative. Messrs. Jones, Taulman, J. Smith, Baker, Patterson, Gilbert, Strang, Van Orden, Frey, Van Ingen, Tillotson, Powers, Webster, Cantine, James Livingston, Bloom, Benson, Hedges, Osborn, Graham, Verplanck, Wisner, Sickles, Younglove, Harrison, Havens, Lockwood. 27.
The question was then taken for passing the Bill, and agreed to.
A message was received from the Senate, that they had passed the Bill for appointing Commissioners to treat with the Indians within this State, and that they had added Peter Gansevoort, jun. to the Commissioners. This the House agreed to.
Another message from the Senate was received, that they had passed a Bill for extending the powers of the Commissioners of the Land-Office, to the cases therein mentioned: and
A Bill to enable the corporation of New-York, to remove Pitt's Statue from the place where it now stands, to some other conspicuous part of said city; which said bills were read a first time and ordered a second reading.
The Senate sent for concurrence a resolution, permitting Johannes Lawyer and Jacob Zimmers of Schoharre, to present a Bill at the next session agreeable to the prayer
of a petition, which they had presented, previously publishing the said petition in two of the newspapers of this State.
This resolution the House agreed to. The Bill for the better settlement and relief of the poor, was read a third time, and passed the House.
Then the House adjourned till Monday morning 10 o'clock.
Monday, February 25.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
The Bill for collecting the arrears of taxes, for building the court house and gaol in Dutchess County; was read a second time, and committed.
The engrossed Bill from the Senate, for extending the powers of the Commissioners of the Land-Office, to the cases therein mentioned; was read a second time and committed.
The engrossed Bill from the Senate, to authorize the Corporation of New-York, to remove Pitt's Statue, was read a second time, and committed.
Mr. Jones moved for leave and brought in a Bill to prevent the storing of gun-powder in certain parts of the city of New-York; and a Bill for the more effectual collection of taxes in the city of New-York; which were read a first time, and ordered a second reading.
The House went into a Committee on the Excise Bill:
Mr. Lockwood in the Chair.
Mr. Jones moved for a clause in the room of the one struck out yesterday, which was to appoint a Commissioner for New-York, and that the Supervisors in the other Counties of the State, should be the Commissioners.
This clause was agreed to.
A question then arose, respecting the appropriation of the money; whether it should be for the particular benefit of the town in which it was collected? and those who were for giving it to the towns, in which it was raised, to be applied in supporting the poor, answered in the affirmative, as follows:
Affirmative.—Messrs. Carman, Cornwall, Doughty, Winant, Taulman, Wyckoff, Sylvester, Baker, Patterson, De Witt, Gilbert, Strang, Frey, Van Ingen, Arent, Powers, Savage, Jas. Livingston, Bloom, Hedges, Osborn, Graham, Sickles, Younglove. 24.
Negative.—Messrs. Jones, J. Smith, Speaker, Webster, Schoonmaker, Cantine, Bruyne, Benson, Verplanck, Wisner, Harrison, Havens, Clarke. 13.
In this Bill, a clause was introduced by Mr. Jones, making a grant of £.800 a year, to the Society of the Hospital of New-York, payable out of the excise to be collected in said city, for four years, commencing the 1st instant, and ending in 1792.
This was opposed by the Speaker, as unjust; alleging, that he could see no good reason, why the city of New-York should support the State Hospital; while in every other County of the State, the money was applied to the particular support of the poor thereof. He conceived it to be a very partial appropriation.
The Committee having gone through the Bill, rose and reported the same; when it was ordered to be engrossed.
The House went into a Committee on the Supplement to the Bill, for vesting the estate of Richard Maitland, deceased, in Trustees:
Mr. Sickles in the Chair.
The Committee having gone through the Bill, rose and reported the same; when it was ordered to be engrossed.
Mr. Harrison handed to the Chair, a report of the Auditor, on the petition of Henry Brewster, and on the petition of John Ostrander; that if the State complies with the prayer of the said petitions, no charge can be made against the United States for the same; it was thereupon resolved that the prayer of the said petitions be not granted.
Another report from the Auditor, on the petitions of Dirck Van Ingen, G. J. Livingston, and Matthew Du Bois, was read, and with the said petitions, referred to a Committee of the whole House, when on the Bill for the settlement of the public accounts.
The House went again into a Committee on the Bill, to repeal the acts therein mentioned:
Mr. Hedges in the Chair.
In proceeding in the Bill, a clause was added, to repeal the act, which obliges Collectors, &c. to give security. The principal reason of this was, that no person should be chosen Collector, except his estate, and his own character, was sufficient surety; in hopes, that taxes may be the better collected in future.
After some further progress being made in the Bill, the Committee rose and reported the same.
The Attorney General made a report on the business referred to him at the last session, respecting the Port, at New-York; which was read, and referred to a Committee of the whole House.
Adjourned till 10 o'clock, to-morrow morning.
Tuesday, February 26.

Mr. Harrison moved for leave and brought in a Bill to alter the name of the Corporation of Trinity Church in New-York, which was read a first time and ordered a second reading.
On motion, the House went into Committee on the Bill for raising money by tax: Mr. Winant in the Chair.
Col. James Livingston wished the sense of the Committee might be taken, whether they would raise a tax?
Mr. Jones replied, that the question on the first clause of the Bill would determine.
After some consultation on the subject, a division was taken on the first clause, and carried in the affirmative:
Affirmative.—Messrs. Jones, Cornwall, Dongan, Taulman, J. Smith, Doughty, Wyckoff, Sylvester, Gilbert, Strang, Speaker, Frey, Van Ingen, Arent, Powers, Cantine, Bruyne, James Livingston, Osborn, Verplanck, Sickles, Younglove, Clinton, Harrison, Clark, Lockwood. 26

Mr. PRINTER. A certain farmer had been obliged, in a great hurry, to surround his field with a fence, in consequence of some troublesome, dangerous and destructive wild bulls, which for a time infested the country. On account of his youth, poverty and inexperience, with many other circumstances, which in part excuse him, this fence was insecure, ill-contrived, and the laughing-stock of his neighbors. However, as he was a watchful and industrious man, with the blessing of Providence, he was happy enough to find it answer his purpose, till all those animals he had feared were either shot down, made oxen of, or fairly scourged out of his borders. But it came to pass, after this danger was over, and he thought he had nothing to do but to enjoy his farm, others soon arose. A pretty smart North-Wester happening to blow, which was not uncommon in his part of the country, part of his fence was blown down. He no sooner heard of this, than he sent a number of his servants to repair it, to put it in good order, and to make it stand firm, like his neighbors'; so that they should no longer sneer at him for an ignorant blockhead. His servants soon found the posts and rails entirely rotten and disjointed; that it had at first been put together in the most clumsy manner; and that the whole was every moment in danger of falling down, or of blowing away. After some search, they unexpectedly found that excellent materials might easily be obtained to make an entire new fence around the whole farm, to the evident advantage of the owner. Two of these servants, however, opposed the design; because, they said, their master had only ordered them to repair the fence. They accordingly made use of every means to induce their fellows to go back, or only to prop up the old a little; and at length for the example, and took leg-bail themselves. Hear the event! Their example took effect—the next wind blew down a larger portion of the enclosure—the wild bulls returned—cattle entered the farm—the grain was all destroyed—and the hope of the husbandman was no more.
Let no man suppose the conduct of the seceding Delegates, from this State to the Convention, exactly designated by the above servants; but the question simply is—Whether did those servants act the part of faithful, worthy and trusty men?

To the PUBLIC. THE Editor of the American Magazine while he feels the greatest sense of the attention and encouragement which he receives from his subscribers, and of the assistance derived from correspondents, begs leave to inform the public, that contrary to the common method of performing less than is promised, he purposes to perform more than he engaged, when he undertook this work. The expectation of failure is connected with the very name of a Magazine; for which reason the Editor has been very moderate in his promises. Yet the materials for this work are accumulating, and the future numbers will be enlarged without any additional expense to subscribers, unless the additions to the work should exceed 16 pages. The Printers throughout the United States are requested to observe, that this publication circulates as the Editor's property. A man who has devoted the most valuable period of life to the acquisition of knowledge; who has grown "pale o'er the midnight lamp;" who labors to decipher ancient manuscripts, or purchases copies at three thousand per cent. above the usual price of books, is undoubtably entitled to the exclusive advantages resulting from his exertions and expenses. The rights of literary property have not yet been clearly ascertained and established in this Country; and since the unequivocal rights of individuals and of public bodies have been so frequently the sport of party interest, in almost every State in the Union, what security has a man for the possession of a right less clearly defined by the laws? Most of the states however have passed laws, securing to authors their literary productions for a limited time; and in those which have not, persons concerned will please to observe that, by a solemn adjudication in the courts of Westminster, it is determined that an action will lie at common law for publishing books, pamphlets, &c without the consent of the author or proprietor. This principle which is founded on common justice, will undoubtedly be admitted into American Courts, especially as the precedent is established in a Country celebrated for the wisdom of its judicial decisions. Several attempts upon the property of the Editor, in different parts of the Country, have been already committed—and will be passed without further notice. But a repetition of the injuries will call before the proper tribunal, a legal question of considerable importance; and produce some trouble and expense, which every man of a pacific disposition would wish to prevent.
