The Brooklyne fire Bill, were read a third time and passed.
The Bill to prevent the sale of lands by execution;
The Bill for raising money for completing the Court-House and Gaol of Columbia County; and

2. A letter from his Excellency Governor Randolph, enclosing an act of the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia, respecting the Convention to be held in that State.
3. A letter from his Excellency Governor Hancock, transmitting a copy of the proceedings of the late Convention of Massachusetts.
The said papers being read, were committed to a Committee of the whole House.
On motion, the House resolved that Jonathan G. Tompkins, Samuel Jones, Charles Doughty, Gulian Verplanck, Nicholas Low, and Richard Harrison, be a Committee on the part of the Assembly to meet at the Secretary's office on the last Tuesday of May next, to canvass and examine the votes for Senators.

Adjourned till 9 o'clock, to-morrow morning.
Tuesday, March 11. The House met pursuant to adjournment.
A letter, purporting to be an address from the Oneida Indians, was read, and sent to the Senate.
A petition from the inhabitants of Lansingburgh, praying to be incorporated, was read.
Mr. Jones moved, that it be laid on the table.
Mr. Sickles thought it a very improper motion.
Mr. Jones hoped never to see any more incorporations in this State; they were useless, and only created difficulties in the country. In Monarchies they were good things, because they were barriers against tyrants; they encouraged manufactures and commerce, by certain privileges enjoyed by their inhabitants, and from this consideration they had been first produced. They operated differently in Free Governments, as they gave to certain men powers, with which they merely tyrannized over the people. For his part, he should be against all Corporations: for what privileges could any man want, that he did not already enjoy; and why should a few people have authority to make laws, different from the laws of the State.
Mr. Younglove wished that respect might be paid to the petition; it was from a number of reputable citizens, and ought to be committed.
Mr. Benson expected that their object of incorporation, was to be enabled to hold in common, about 1,300 acres of land, which Mr. Lansing, the original proprietor of the town, intended to give to them; but there was a difficulty, as the town had no legal representatives to whom he could convey it. He believed that that was the sole object of the petition. Whether they should have power to receive such a conveyance as a body corporate, and whether they should have powers of jurisprudence, were two distinct questions.
Mr. Jones said, that the petition had more extensive objects; they wanted to have the management of the police of the town.
Mr. Benson said, that the objections against Corporations went too far. All societies must be incorporated, to hold property.
A motion was made to reject the petition.
Mr. Sickles wished the House would consider the petition, and not reject it; it was a matter of consequence.
Mr. Jones said, the reason of his moving to have it laid on the table was, because he was determined to oppose all Corporations, while he had the honor of a seat in that House.
Mr. Sickles said, that perhaps a majority of the House would consent to incorporate them so far, as that they might receive a conveyance.
On the motion of Mr. Benson, it was then agreed, that they be permitted to bring in a Bill at the next session, to enable them to receive a conveyance of the lands; first advertising the same for the space of six weeks.
A petition of Gilbert Livingston and Peter Tappan, of Poughkeepsie, praying to have a part of Mr. Crannel's estate restored to them, was read, and referred to a Committee of the whole House.
Went into Committee on the Bill relative to the forfeited estates:
Mr. Arent in the Chair.
Mr. Benson moved for a clause to enable persons whose estates have been confiscated, and who have debts due to them from the citizens of this State, and which debtors shall not, before the passing of the act, have lodged the amount thereof with the Treasurer, to sue for and recover the same in specie, deducting the interest which might have accrued on the said debt, from Jan. 1776 to Jan. 1784. The said prosecutor previously paying the principal sum due to him, to the State Treasurer, in any of the public securities of the State.
Mr. Sickles moved as an amendment, to
have a proviso added to the clause, that it should not take effect till May 1789; and that all persons should be indemnified for payments they did make.
Mr. Speaker said he should never give his consent to that amendment, as it was intended to favor those who had already attempted to cheat the State. He would not even give them a day.
Mr. Sickles supposed it was the duty of the Legislature rather to protect their citizens, than to give them up as a prey. He would rather that all the money was lost, than that the attainted persons should be allowed to come back and distress our citizens. Many of these persons who had gone off to the enemy, had assisted in making conflagrations of our property, and laying waste our country; and the damages they had done would over-balance the amount of all the debts due to them. Considering this, he asked if it would now be right to let them recover 7-8ths of their debts? He believed that Mr. Speaker's zeal would carry him too far. It would be taking money out of the pockets of our citizens, and giving it to disaffected persons.
Mr. Speaker confessed that he knew no distinction between a Whig and a Tory, when they were rogues; he would let them be overtaken in their iniquity; it would be doing them no injustice. It should be considered who the characters were, that would be affected by it. It was an old story to talk of depredations, devastations, hardships, &c.
Mr. Sickles did not wish to support a rogue, any more than the hon. gentleman last on the floor. But he differed with him, he did not conceive them to be rogues. The laws of the state did not compel people to pay these debts into the treasury; nor did it give an indemnity to those who had. Supposing that a man paid this debt to the Treasurer, his property was still liable to an attachment any where out of the limits of this State: would the State in such case have repaid him? He would answer no! The debtors were then under no obligation. He therefore would contend that a very honest man might owe debts to these attainted persons, and it would be prudent in him not to pay it unless the State would give a warrantee. The law should give time to pay these debts, and indemnity those that made the payments. But he would repeat it, he had rather the State should lose the whole of this money, than to permit the attainted persons to return and torment our citizens.
Mr. Speaker said, that the law, as it stood, was compulsory, and that unless these debts were paid into the treasury before a certain day, they could be paid in specie only.
Mr. Sickles would not contest a law point with the gentleman; but he would never give up the rights of the people. A man who paid his money into the treasury without an indemnification, run the risque of losing it; it was therefore optional. He knew of persons who had paid it into the treasury, and afterwards secured the payment to their creditors.
Mr. Jones was entirely opposed to the amendment; it appeared to him, that the reasons urged by the gentleman who advocated it, were very inconclusive. He had said, that our laws gave no indemnification. Was it his wish, that a compulsory law should be passed, and indemnifications given? The very grounds on which he advocated the clause, were the reasons why it ought not to be adopted. He would readily agree that our laws were not compulsory; that no indemnification was given, and that the payments into the treasury were voluntary. He also knew an instance (the case of Gen. Campbell, who paid White), where an individual had paid the amount of his debt in State paper, into the treasury, and afterwards paid his creditor in actual money. This was a thing honestly. But this was not the question under consideration. The question was, what should be done with these debts? If the Legislature was afraid to say, that the man who owed money should pay it, they had better declare that all those debts were discharged. If indemnifications were given, the operation would be, that the State would take in 5/ and pay out 20/. For persons who had paid in Certificates, could easily throw themselves in the way of their creditors, and suffer the whole debt in specie to be recovered from them; so that when the State repaid it, they might share the spoil. People that owed debts should pay the amount of the principal at least. No injustice would happen to the debtor; he would not pay more than he ought. With respect to lenity, the Legislature ought not to take away from the State, in order to relieve a few debtors. He should vote against the amendment.
Mr. Sickles had no objections, that those who owed money should pay it; but he could never agree to any thing that would benefit those persons who had been convicted or attainted.
Mr. Lockwood observed, that if the persons whose estates had been confiscated,
should now recover their debts, they would be well off, as they had already received a compensation from the King of Great Britain. He would not restore them any part of their debts; but give time for their payment into the treasury.
Mr. Sickles said, that to open a door to let these people come back and distress our citizens, would be bad policy and cruel: he should not be surprised to see a motion made for the restoration of real estates, on paying the amount in certificates; this ought to follow as a thing of course.
Mr. Benson said, if ever the State meant to recover the money, that the way he had proposed was the most probable one to effect it. He believed that if the idea of the gentleman was adopted, that the whole law would be nugatory. It would be an unfair thing that an individual should derive to himself the whole advantage of a confiscation. He, however, had no objection to giving them some further time.
Mr. Sickles remarked that the object of it seemed to be altogether to get money; it reminded him of an old saying, get it honestly if possible, but at any rate get money.
Mr. Speaker said, he had no views to favor the persons whose estates had been confiscated, but he wanted to see justice done to the State.
Mr. Benson's motion having been amended so as to give time for the payment of these debts till the first day of November next, but without annexing any indemnification.
On the question for adding it to the Bill a division was called:
Affirmative. Messrs. Jones, Carman, Cornwall, Dongan, Winant, Nevins, J.

To the FARMERS of the State of NEW-YORK.
A Man who is embarked with you in the same bottom, and who is bound to you by the strong ties of interest and affection, begs leave to address you.
The critical moment is fast approaching when we are to decide, whether we will remain ruined as we are—or, by the adoption of a new system of government, endeavor to regain what we have lost, and make ourselves and our posterity happy for the future. With you, the author of this address has fought for the liberties of America; with you, he has borne poverty without repining, and misery without a sigh—still hoping that the happy moment would arrive, when he should reap plenty in peace, and enjoy the supreme satisfaction of seeing that government, which had been established with the loss of so much blood and treasure, operate to the advantage of its subjects, and respected by foreign nations: but, alas! how have our hopes been disappointed, and our honest expectations turned to nought! How have we been insulted by the British! How has our trade been restricted by every nation with whom we traffic? Are not the Western posts, which would be an immense source of wealth to this State, kept from us? We have asked, simply asked for them; but they will never be given up, till we have a government of sufficient strength to take them. Have not our vessels been seized and condemned by French and British, for imaginary breaches of the laws of trade? Have we dared to make reprisals? Are not the hard-earned productions of our farms at the mercy of foreigners? Are we not obliged to sell at their own price? Will they permit us to look for a market in their ports? Has the late army, which made us free, been paid? Have the farmers, who supported them, been paid? Is there any rank of citizens, who have not suffered under the present government's want of power, or want of honesty? Are not numbers of our brethren held in chains by the piratical States of Barbary, hopeless of relief? Does not trade languish? Has not public as well as private credit expired? And, finally, is not our character as a people, that character which once shone as the effulgence of the sun reflected by our arms, setting fast in the night? If these are facts, and that they are all men agree, how deplorable is our situation! For heaven's sake, let us remain no longer stupid; let our misery awake us; and if we cannot hope to extricate us from them, under the present Continental Government, let us

change it—let us try another: we cannot be worse. Read the new Constitution, my friends, which is proposed for the United States. See for yourselves; take not the word of men in office against it; rather rely on what those say, who with a change to get into power themselves. Divest yourselves of party prejudices; look well what you are about; you judge for millions; and if you doubt your judgment or your information, consult only those men who have stood foremost in gaining the liberties of our country: they have been proved; they have been tried in the hour of adversity, and they have kept their integrity. Read the new Constitution, my friends, and you will find there is nothing to be feared, but a great deal to be hoped from the adoption of it. We are lost, if we do not change our present system; let us try the one which is offered to us; a majority of good men are for giving it a chance; a majority of the sense and judgment of the State, of the Law, of the Clergy, and of every class of men, are for it. Let us be unanimous; let there be no heart-burnings among us; let us shun and detest the man, who would raise suspicions in our breasts against our friends and brethren; and let us not sacrifice ourselves and our posterity to keep this man in office, or to gratify the other in his more mercenary and ambitious views; views which, since the peace, have only centred in himself.
If we join heart and hand in erecting and supporting the Government which is offered to us, we shall have every thing we want. If we split, and are obliged to remain under the one we have, we shall lose every thing we now possess.
March 8. T I M O N.
Mr. CHILDS, As the time approaches when we must decide on that critical subject, our virtuous Constitution, it is highly important and very interesting to every patriot and friend to his country. I beg and expect that those who have distinguished themselves by their patriotism and conduct, will have preference given with respect to a seat in Convention: I therefore take the liberty as a freeman to offer my sentiments on the subject.

*** We assure the author under the signature of A LOVER OF SCIENCE, that it is not VERY singular that we omitted publishing his piece; for we have received no less than four prior to his on the same subject:—but it is time that the public should be no longer troubled with discussions of this kind.

This Day is Published, And to be sold by Samuel Loudon, No. 5, Water-street, and Robert Hodge, No. 237, the corner of King and Queen-streets, A New, and complete System of ARITHMETIC, Composed for the use of the Citizens of the United States, By NICHOLAS PIKE, A. M. *1* THIS Book is strongly recommended by the first literary characters in America, who have had the perusal of it. The Author in treating on numbers, has done it with so much perspicuity, and singular address, that the study thereof will become more a pleasure than a task. The arrangement of the work and the method by which he leads the Tryo into the first principles of numbers, are novelities not to be met with in any other book. Wingate, Hutton, Hill, Ward and many other authors, when brought into a comparative view with this Treatise, are inadequate and defective. This volume contains besides what is useful and necessary in the common affairs of life, a great fund for amusement and entertainment. The Mechanic will find in it much more than he may have occasion for; the Lawyer, Merchant and Mathematician will find an ample field for the exercise of their genius, and it may be read to great advantage by students of every class, from the lowest school to the university. 2w. cod. 962

A Deficit to show 'till light upon so interesting a subject, has led, in a great measure, unavoidably to a more copious discussion, than was at first intended; and the undertaking not being yet completed it is judged advisable to divide the collection into two volumes. The several matters which are contained in these papers, are immediately interwoven with the very existence of this New Empire, and ought to be well understood by every Citizen of America. The Editor entertains no doubt that they will be thought, by the judicious Reader, the cheapest, as well as most valuable Publication ever offered to the American Public.
The second volume is in the press, and will be published with all possible expedition. Subscribers will be pleased to send for their copies to the printing-office, No. 41, Hanover-square, four doors from the Old-Slip. *** Those gentlemen who are entrusted with the subscription lists, will please to return them to the printer; and those in the country are desired to forward them immediately.

A good FRAME HOUSE, with 4 rooms on a floor, one story and a half high, a fine cellar, a large store room fixed for a merchant, a good Dutch barn a fine ready for trade or any public business, there having a store been kept for upwards of thirteen years, commands the trade from several western and eastern towns back; it is very pleasantly situated where three roads meet, and is the best stand of trade, I dare say, of any in the county, as all the produce that goes to landing from the eastward, must pass by the door.
