The SUMMUM BONUM. The favourite Drinking Song now singing at Vaux-hall, with universal applause, by Mr. Inledon. Composed by Mr. Hook.
GIVE me wine, rosy wine, that I to despair, Whose magical power can banish all care; Of friendship the parent, composer of strife, The brother of sorrow, and blesser of life. The schools about happiness warmly dispute, And weary the sense of the phantom pursuit; In spite of their maxims, I dare to define, The grand Summum Bonum's a bumper of wine. To the coward avarice it ne'er fails to impart, And opens the lock of the miserly heart, While thus we carouse it, the wheel of the soul O'er life's rugged highway agreeably rolls; Each thinks of his charmer, who never can cloy, And fancy rides post to the regions of joy. In spite of dull maxims, I dare to define The grand Summum Bonum's a bumper of wine. 'Tis the balm specific that heals every sore, The oilmer we taste it, we love it the more; Then he who true happiness seeks to attain, With spirit the full-flowing bumper must drain; And he who the Court of fair Venus would know, Undunted through Bacchus's vineyard must go. In spite of dull maxims, I dare to define The grand Summum Bonum's a bumper of wine.
BOSTON, August 23. If the observation were doubtful, That a traitor is hated even by the party which is benefitted by his treason, the following circumstance would establish it. At the moment when Arnold's fleet at St. John's, was on fire—when his heart was pierced with the most affliction, that his son was then suffering in the flames—at that moment, when the breath of sensibility bleeds, for even the losses of a foe—when the consideration of almost every wrong is forgotten, and we fly to the assistance of the person we hate—at this moment of distress—instead of consolation—instead of condolence or relief—we are told, the inhabitants of St. John's, coolly asked this American Syphax, "Whether the then appearance was not a striking representation of the conflagration of New-London?"
HARTFORD, August 25. We hear from Hartford, that in the gale of wind on Tuesday last, some of the windows of the East Meeting-house were drove in; and a new store belonging to Mr. H. Smith was unroofed, and the frame much wrecked; a new dwelling-house belonging to Mr. Perkins, partly covered, was laid in ruins; an almost new barn belonging to Mr. Bills, and full of hay and grain, was torn to pieces and carried off; many smaller buildings were damaged; on the west mountain several creatures were killed; a great multiplicity of trees that have stood for ages unhurt, were torn up by the roots.
ALBANY, August 21. From every quarter we receive the most melancholy relations of the damage by the rains, which fell the beginning of this week. On Tuesday evening and Wednesday the creeks and kills rose to an enormous height, and mills, bridges, dams, fences, lumber, grain, hay, &c. were swept away by the torrent. On the Norman's kill, it is said, not a bridge remains. The river Hudson was on Tuesday and still remains uncommonly high. On Tuesday evening, as Mr. Benjamin Van Curen, his wife, a son about 10 years old, and a young child, were crossing the Norman's kill in a canoe, it on a sudden overset, by which melancholy accident his son was unfortunately drowned.
HUDSON, August 26. Extract from a letter from a gentleman, in the north-eastern part of Hillsdale, to a friend in this city, dated August 23. "Yesterday a scene was exhibited in our neighbourhood, which, considering its approach, progress and consequences has not been equalled within the memory of our oldest inhabitants. The day had passed, from morning till about four o'clock, P. M. attended by showers, the air remarkably thick and sultry, the wind at south-east, when it chop'd round as it were in an instant, and blew a most violent hurricane from the north-west, attended by an amazing deluge of rain, it could hardly however, with propriety be called rain, it wore rather the appearance of large rivers precipitated from huge mountains, and driven through the atmosphere by the irresistible force of the wind. The fall of these aerial cataracts almost instantaneously swelled our small domestic streams into dangerous torrents. The little brook which runs almost within our piazza, and was scarcely noticed but by geese and children, arose to a Jordan like importance. The sudden and surprising rise and roar of water, attended by the continued crush of the stupendous pines, which, as it were, hung nodding over our houses, combined with ideas ever accompanying extraordinary phenomena, afforded to me the most sublime, the most strikingly solemn, and awful scene I ever before beheld—it was, however short, the consequences not so alarming as might have been expected. A neighbor of mine, I hear, is badly hurt, some oxen and sheep, killed fences, mill-dams, potash works &c. &c. &c. suffered very much, but I believe not so much here, as those lying lower down and further from the place where the devastation first began. Indian corn, and almost every species of domestic vegetation, is laid level with the ground." The 18th and 19th inst. we experienced in this country an excessive flood of rain, it continued for nearly 48 hours, almost without cessation, and towards the close very fast; much damage has been done on the low lands, by carrying off hay, corn, &c. Mr. Thomas Jenkins of this place, sustained considerable damage, a mill dam, which he had just completed, was broken down, with great violence; his mill somewhat miraculously escaped. We learn that it has actually carried off, a number of miles between this and Albany. Its effects, we fear, will be severely felt, both at the northward and westward.
PURSUANT to an order of the Hon. JOHN SLOSS HOBART, Esquire, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Judicature of the State of New-York, NOTICE is hereby given to all the creditors of Archibald Kerly, of the city of New-York, an insolvent debtor, to show cause, if any they have, before the said Judge, at his chambers in the city of New-York, on Monday the twentieth day of October next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon of the same day, why an assignment of the said insolvent's estate should not be made to Robert Lenox, of the said city, merchant, for the benefit of all the creditors of the said insolvent, and the said insolvent discharged according to the form of the act of the legislature of the state of New-York, entitled, "an act for giving relief in cases of insolvency," passed the twenty first day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight, dated the 22d day of August 1788. ARCHIBALD KERLY. SAMUEL KERN, Creditor.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 3.
We learn from North-Carolina, that the Convention of that state have not absolutely rejected the new Constitution—but have proposed a Bill of Rights, and Amendments to the most exceptionable and ambiguous parts of the same—which they conceive ought to be laid before the Congress and the States, previous to the ratification of the new Constitution on the part of the state of North-Carolina.—The bill of Rights and amendments are nearly the same as those proposed by the State of Virginia, except in two instances, which appear to be local to North-Carolina—but this locality does not militate against the interest of any other state. The New Constitution was discussed, clause by clause, in a committee of the whole Convention, and the report of the Committee was a Bill of Rights and Amendments, previous to the ratification, which was agreed to by the Convention, by a majority of 102—Yeas 184—Nays 82. It was the opinion of that Convention, that the Congress will call a General Convention to consider the proposed amendments; that the deliberations of that convention will be submitted to conventions in the several states; and that their state not having rejected the Constitution absolutely, will not be precluded from calling a convention to adopt it, should they think proper so to do—They passed two recommendations to the legislature—the one, to make the most effectual and speedy provision for the redemption of the paper money, now in circulation—the other to lay an impost, for the use of Congress, on goods imported into North-Carolina, similar to that which shall be laid by the new Congress, on goods imported into the adopting states. These two recommendations are also to be transmitted to Congress and the Executives of the several states.
On opening of the convention, a motion was made, by the opposition, to put the question immediately, as it was supposed every member had made up his mind on the subject, and an immediate determination would save the state a great expense—this it is thought would have been carried, had not one of the principal supporters of the government, in a most animated and excellent speech, proved the extreme impropriety of such precipitancy in so important a business:—Upon which the motion was withdrawn. Through the whole of the discussion of this subject we are informed, the convention shewed every disposition to promote the interest of the Union, and were determined to be actuated by no other motive than that which might tend to promote the general welfare—but being previously instructed by their constituents, and perceiving exceptions in the new Constitution, they thought themselves justifiable in postponing the ultimate decision of the important question, until it should be reconsidered by the several states, and such objections removed, as might be found necessary to the preservation of the Union.
STATE OF NORTH-CAROLINA.
IN CONVENTION, August 2, 1788. RESOLVED , That a Declaration of Rights, asserting and securing from encroachment the great principles of civil and religious liberty, and the unalienable rights of the people, together with Amendments to the most ambiguous and exceptionable parts of the said Constitution of Government, ought to be laid before Congress, or the Convention of the States that shall or may be called for the purpose of amending the said Constitution, for their consideration, previous to the ratification of the Constitution aforesaid, on the part of the State of North-Carolina.
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS.
1st. THAT there are certain natural rights of which men, when they form a social compact, cannot deprive or divest their posterity, among which are the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety. 2d. That all power is naturally vested in, and consequently derived from the people; that magistrates therefore are their trustees and agents, and at all times amenable to them. 3d. That government ought to be instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security of the people; and that the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive to the good and happiness of mankind. 4th. That no man or set of men, are entitled to exclusive or separate public emoluments, or privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services; which not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator, or judge, or any other public office, to be hereditary. 5th. That the legislative, executive and judiciary powers of government should be separate and distinct, and that the members of the two first may be restrained from oppression, by feeling and participating the public burthens, they should at fixed periods be reduced to a private station, return into the mass of the people; and the vacancies be supplied by certain and regular elections; in which all or any part of the former members to be eligible or ineligible, as the rules of the constitution of government, and the laws shall direct. 6th. That elections of representatives in the legislature ought to be free and frequent, and all men having sufficient evidence of permanent and common interest with, and attachment to the community, ought to have the right of suffrage; and no aid, charge, tax or fee, can be set, rated or levied upon the people without their own consent, or that of their representatives, so elected, nor can they be bound by any law, to which they have not in like manner assented for the public good. 7th. That all power of suspending laws, or the execution of laws, by any authority without the consent of the representatives of the people in the legislature, is injurious to their rights, and ought not to be exercised. 8th. That in all capital and criminal prosecutions, a man hath a right to demand the cause and nature of his accusation, to be confronted with the accusers and witnesses, to call for evidence, and be allowed counsel in his favor, and to a fair and speedy trial by an impartial jury of his vicinage, without whose unanimous consent he cannot be found guilty, (except in the government of the land and naval forces) nor can he be compelled to give evidence against himself. 9th. That no freeman ought to be taken, imprisoned, or deprived of his freehold, liberties, privileges or franchises, or outlawed or exiled, or in any manner destroyed, or deprived of his life, liberty, or property, but by the law of the land. 10th. That every freeman restrained of his liberty, is entitled to a remedy to enquire into the lawfulness thereof, and to remove the same, if unlawful, and that such remedy ought not to be denied nor delayed. 11th. That in controversies respecting property, and in suits between man and man, the ancient trial by jury is one of the greatest securities to the rights of the people, and ought to remain sacred and inviolable. 12th. That every freeman ought to find a remedy by recourse to the laws for all injuries and wrongs he may receive in person, property or character. He ought to obtain right and justice freely without sale, completely and without denial, promptly and without delay, and that all establishments, or regulations contravening these, are oppressive and unjust.
13th. That excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. 14th. That every freeman has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches and seizures of his person, his papers, and property; all warrants therefore to search suspected places, or seize any freeman, his papers or property, without information upon oath (or affirmation of a person religiously scrupulous of taking an oath) of legal and sufficient cause, are grievous and oppressive, and all general warrants to search suspected places, or to apprehend any suspected person without specially naming or describing the place or person, are dangerous and ought not to be granted. 15th. That the people have a right peaceably to assemble together to consult for the common good, or to instruct their representatives; and that every freeman has a right to petition or apply to the legislature for redress of grievances. 16th. That the people have a right to freedom of speech, and of writing and publishing their sentiments; that the freedom of the Press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty, and ought not to be violated. 17th. That the people have a right to keep and bear arms; that a well regulated militia composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural and safe defence of a free state. That standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty; and therefore ought to be avoided, as far as the circumstances and protection of the community will admit; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by the civil power. 18th. That no soldier in time of peace ought to be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner, and in time of war in such manner only as the laws direct. 19th. That any person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms ought to be exempted upon payment of an equivalent to employ another to bear arms in his stead. 20th. That religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence, and therefore all men have an equal, natural and unalienable right, to the free exercise of religion according to the dictates of conscience, and that no particular religious sect or society ought to be favoured or established by law in preference to others.

III. When Congress shall lay direct taxes or excises, they shall immediately inform the executive power of each state, of the quota of such state, according to the census herein directed, which is proposed to be thereby raised: And if the legislature of any state shall pass a law, which shall be effectual for raising such quota at the time required by Congress, the taxes and excises laid by Congress shall not be collected in such state.

In all cases affecting ambassadors, other foreign ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party; the supreme court shall have original jurisdiction; in all other cases before mentioned the supreme court shall have appellate jurisdiction as to matters of law only.
the jurisdiction, in which the supreme court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make. But the judicial power of the United States shall extend to no case where the cause of action shall have originated before the ratification of this constitution, except in disputes between states about their territory; disputes between persons claiming lands under the grants of different states, and suits for debts due to the United States. XVI. That in criminal prosecutions, no man shall be restrained in the exercise of the usual and accustomed right of challenging or excepting to the jury. XVII. That Congress shall not alter, modify, or interfere in the times, places, or manner of holding elections for senators and representatives, or either of them, except when the legislature of any state shall neglect, refuse or be disabled, by invasion or rebellion, to prescribe the same. XVIII. That those clauses which declare that Congress shall not exercise certain powers, be not interpreted in any manner whatsoever to extend the powers of Congress; but that they be construed either as making exceptions to the specified powers where this shall be the case, or otherwise, as inserted merely for greater caution. XIX. That the laws ascertaining the compensation of senators and representatives for their services, be postponed in their operation, until after the election of representatives immediately succeeding the passing thereof, that excepted, which shall first be passed on the subject. XX. That some tribunal, other than the senate, be provided for trying impeachments of senators. XXI.

XXV. That Congress shall not directly or indirectly, either by themselves, or through the judiciary, interfere with any one of the states in the redemption of paper money already emitted and now in circulation, or in liquidating and discharging the public securities of any one of the states: But each and every state shall have the exclusive right of making such laws and regulations for the above purposes, as they shall think proper. XXVI. That Congress shall not introduce foreign troops into the United States without the consent of two thirds of the members present of both houses.
Extract of a letter dated Port Royal, July 14, 1788. "A most violent war has just broke out between the people of Holstein and the Cherokee and the Chickamawgoe Indians. It is said that the whites at different times this spring and summer, have lost about sixty persons, and the Indians have lost ninety amongst which are the Fool Warrior, Old Tater, and Old Abraham, the Hanging Maw's brother, who is principal chief of those nations; and the following towns on the Tennessee, are evacuated, and several of them were in flames before the Indians, left them; Highwadee, Chirova, Citico, Chota, Toca, Big Tallega, Big Island, Coyetch. Hostilities appear to be carried on by both parties with all the malice, horror, and implacable hatred imaginable; so God only knows where it will stop."
A Charleston, paper says, "By recent letters from Shelburne and Halifax, in Nova-Scotia, we find that the good Israelites in that loyal province, evince a warm desire to become an additional state—under our federal government—declaring, that they discover in it all the advantages exempt from the disadvantages of a monarchical constitution. The late excessive outrages and riots they have experienced there, has opened their optics, and convinced most of the rational people, that the blessings they have so long vociferated to the world, arising from the honor of living under English laws, are only ideal, as well as that the land they enjoy, is not that CANAAN they were taught and wont to think it, it being indubitably that there are but two seasons in their province, viz. eight months rigorous winter, and four summer, which prevents their raising even subsistence sufficient for their own temperate consumption, much less supplying the West-India islands, which they have so repeatedly boasted of; for it is an undeniable fact that Nova-Scotia, New Brunswick, St. John's and Newfoundland (being the whole of the British America) are, and have ever been supplied with their fruit, flour, cattle and other luxuries from the American states, and necessarily ever must be, in proportion to their population, and fifty per cent. cheaper than they can raise or obtain them from any other empire under the sun."

THE Society for promoting the Manumission of Slaves, and protecting such of them as have been or may be liberated, having solicited charitable donations from the people in this city, for the purpose of establishing a school for the instruction of negro children; think it a duty they owe the public, to give some account of their proceedings in this important business. The Society having agreed upon a number of rules and regulations for the government of the school, appointed twelve of their number Trustees, whose business it should be to engage a master, and visit the school every month, to examine the progress the scholars made in learning, and see that the regulations for the school were duly attended to. The Trustees procured a master, and the school was opened on the first of November last, with a small number of scholars, it has been gradually increasing from that time, and it now consists of forty-two scholars; several have been dismissed the school, and some bound apprentices to learn useful trades. The Trustees have visited the school regularly every month, and have found from time to time, that the scholars have made uncommon progress in learning. Tho' the school was instituted principally for the benefit of the children of free negroes, the Society, their last meeting, desirous of extending the benefit of it to others, authorized the Trustees to admit those who were slaves, upon condition of their masters paying 10s. per quarter. This stipulation was deemed necessary, as the funds of the Society at present, are not sufficient to maintain the school. Those children, who their masters design to liberate at a future age, are to be admitted without expense. The Trustees esteem themselves happy in having obtained Mr. Davis for an instructor, as he appears uncommonly well qualified for the arduous undertaking. It may be proper to mention, that by one rule of the Society, it is necessary that two of the Trustees should visit the children, and sign a paper for their admission to the school. The present Trustees, are Matthew Clarkson, John Bleecker, Thomas Burling, Jacob Seaman, White Matlack, James Cogswell, Willet Seaman, Nathaniel Lawrence, William Cochran, William Packhouse, Richard Lawrence, John Murray, jun. New-York, August 15.
