New-York, July 10.
Convention of New-York.
Wednesday, July 1.
SECT. 8. of art. 1. still under debate, which respects the powers of Congress.
[Many very interesting and severe debates were had in the tedious discussion of this section, which lasted from dawn, till twelve o'clock. As to the mode of electing the members, we have not been able to ascertain.]
Mr. M. Smith opened the debate by an explanation of his grounds of reply before.
Mr. Duane replied, in a speech of two hours, to the objections that had been made against the clause under consideration. In the course of Mr. Duane's observations, he produced a variety of papers to show the folly of relying on requisitions (the mode intended by the amendment) and in particular an extract from the circular letter of his Ex. Gen. Washington, by which he attempted to prove, that the difficulties and prostration of the war were attributable to that mode of supplying the common wants of the general government. Having gone through and fairly answered the objections that have been made by the opposite party, concluded by an apology for the length of time he had taken up, and an exhortation to the members to be calm and conciliatory in their proceedings.
After Mr. Duane Mr. Jay rose, who applauded Mr. Duane's speech, and observed, that as every thing had been urged that was pertinent to the occasion, he should only give his opinion in favor of the paragraph without any amendment; Mr. Duane explained the idea of concurrent jurisdiction, by which the state governments are to be supported, in a clear and able manner.
Mr. Jones stated some objections to the idea of a concurrent jurisdiction; observing at the same time, that if such a thing did exist, he should consider it as one of the greatest defects of the proposed constitution. He was followed by the chancellor, who exposed the arguments of the opposition, and placed in the most striking point of view their absurdities.
When the chancellor sat down, a motion was made for the committee to rise, and the convention adjourned.
Wednesday, July 2.
Mr. G. Livingston opened the debate by some replication to the chancellor's preceding speech.
Mr. Williams spoke a few words; when Mr. M. Smith arose, and took up the chancellor, upon his own ground, in a decent and ingenious manner.
The chancellor then rose, and replied to each one's attack, with the most engaging good humor.
After the Chancellor was seated, on the motion of Mr. Jones, the committee proceeded to take up the next clause, which authorizes Congress to make loans: here Mr. Lansing proposed an amendment, restricting Congress from making any loans, but by the concurrence of two-thirds of both houses. This proposition occasioned some debate, in which Mr. Jay, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Mason, and the Chief Justice, bore a part; they attempted to show the impropriety and dangerous consequence of such an amendment—Those who supported the amendment, were Mr. M. Smith, Mr. Lansing, and the Governor: while the Governor was speaking, Colonel Livingston made his appearance in the convention chamber, with the interesting intelligence of the ratification of Virginia.
The debate on Mr. Lansing's motion having subsided, Mr. Jones brought forward another amendment, to the clause which enables Congress to establish post-offices and post-roads. His amendment was to restrict Congress from laying out roads, without the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same may be.
Thursday, July 3.
The convention made some considerable progress in the business before them, having got quite through the first article of the constitution. In the course of the day several amendments were proposed. Adjourned until to-morrow.
Friday, July 4.
The second article, respecting the executive power, mode of electing senators, &c. was this day taken up, when a number of amendments were proposed.
Extract of a letter from Poughkeepsie, July 5.
"The chancellor has had a second dubbing from G. Livingston, M. Smith, and Mr. Williams. In reply to the first the chancellor very elegantly observed, that he was particularly surprised, and confounded, at the attack of his honorable kinsman over the way, who regards their ties of blood—of their common ancestry—and of their common name—had joined the throng in pointing their daggers at his breast; and he could not help exclaiming, with Cæsar, "and thou too, my Brutus."
"Mr. Mayor of New-York preceded the Chancellor on the occasion, which drew forth the reply of the three gentlemen above mentioned; he, in an harangue of two hours and an half, which consisted chiefly of declarations of his intended brevity of exordium and peroration, raised into view the devastations of the late war. Mr. M. Smith, in his reply to the Chancellor, observed, that his colleagues, Mr. L. and Mr. W. had taken the subject in too serious a light. The honorable gentleman from New-York (meaning the Mayor) had favored the committee with a direful tragedy, and that the honorable gentleman (the Chancellor) had very properly, after the committee had been fatigued, and become gloomy, entertained them with a farce, well calculated to amuse the ladies [a number of whom were attending.] Mr. Williams remarked, that for him to meet the gentleman (the Chancellor) on the ground of ridicule, would be like Don Quixote's attack on the windmills, supposing it to be a hero: he also took notice, that the gentleman had declared, that the whole committee had been convinced, by Mr. Hamilton's reasoning, a day or two before; he could not conceive from whence the honorable gentleman derived this knowledge, unless he possessed the gift of second sight.
"Yesterday was celebrated by the Convention, and the military gentlemen of the vicinity, the Anniversary of Independence, in which all parties united: there was a federal salute of 13 guns at 12 o'clock, and after dinner thirteen toasts were drank, accompanied with the discharge of as many guns, and the day passed off very well, and in pretty good humour."
We are further informed from Poughkeepsie, that the honorable convention entered upon the judiciary department, which is contained in the third article of the constitution, on Friday last, and that amendments were proposed. It is thought that the business of the convention will be completed in a few days.
Accounts from Poughkeepsie, last evening, by private letters, mention, that the final question was to have been taken in the hon. convention yesterday. The writers mention, that it was thought the convention would be carried in the same mode as by Virginia.
Some accounts were likewise received by post, of an affray between the federalists and anti federalists at Albany; particulars of which could not be obtained for this day's paper.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of character in South Carolina, dated June 23, 1788.
"It is now unnecessary, perhaps, to state to you the different causes whereby the new plan has been carried in South-Carolina, notwithstanding four-fifths of the people do from their souls detest it.
"Our minority is a respectable one, and I can with great truth assure you, that it represents by far a greater number of citizens than the majority. The minority are chiefly from the back country, where the strength and numbers of our republic lie; and although the vote of the convention has carried it, that has not changed the opinion of the great body of the people, respecting its evil tendency. In the interior country, all is disgust, sorrow and vindictive reproaches against the system, and those who voted for it. It is true, the ratification of it was solemnized in our city with splendid procession and shew. We bear from the back country, however, that in some places, the people had a coffin painted black, which, borne in funeral procession, was solemnly buried, as an emblem of the dissolution and internment of public liberty. You may rely upon it, if a fair opportunity offers itself to our back countrymen, they will join heart and hand to bring ruin on the new plan, unless it be materially altered. They declare to publicly: They feel that they are the very men, who, as mere militia, half armed, and half-clothed, have fought and defeated the British regulars in sundry encounters. They think, that after having disputed and gained the laurel under the banners of liberty, that they are now likely to be robbed both of the honor, and the fruits of it, by a revolution purposely contrived for it. I know some able men among us, or such as are thought so, affect to despise the general opinion of the multitude, but I think a government rests on a very sandy foundation, whose subjects are convinced that it is a bad one.
"There are a number of gentlemen in the back country, of property and abilities, who have given evident proofs of their gallantry in the late war, and who are possessed of great influence among the people, that are decidedly against the new system, unless essentially amended."
There is hardly an inhabitant living who recollects such a kind of a summer as the one now rapidly passing away. Such quantities of rain have fallen, that our friends in the country, we are told, fear greatly with respect to the latter harvest: Indian corn is much injured for want of a hot vegetating sun, and with the beating of frequent showers. The grass harvest is great indeed, but flax, though it be tall and rampant, is much matted, and, in many instances, must be gathered earlier than usual.
Last Friday the anniversary of American Independence was pompously celebrated in this city. The compliments and gratuities which passed were not all acrimonial, but the chief of them cordially harmonious. In some companies the joy of the ratification sufficit was consolidated with that of this ever memorable anniversary, but with the zealous advocates for American freedom and independence, this last was prostrated, and kept entirely out of sight by the liberal, who conceive, that every man has yet a right to enjoy his own sentiment. Col. Duer, by his oration on this occasion, gained great applause.
A celebration, on the 4th of July, has taken place pretty universally; we have had no accounts from any quarter of the United States but which mention the modes pursued even in small villas, to express the general joy on this anniversary, and the great event of the ratification of the new proposed constitution by ten states.
At Philadelphia, we are told, that the procession, on that day, cost but a little more than one thousand pounds: thus demonstrating the distress of the inhabitants of that populous city!
The grand procession in this city, we are told, is postponed until the decision of the hon. convention of this state, respecting the constitution, be known.
There is no later intelligence from Europe, than that we gave our readers last Thursday, viz. May 16.
We are happy in being able, this day, to present the proposed amendments to the constitution by the state of Virginia.
Extract of a letter from East-Hampton (Long-Island) June 29, 1788.
"It is well known to many, that, where a sandy shore is washed by the ocean, the bottom is subject to continual variations, which produce, or are produced, by a kind of eddy to the waves, by which any buoyant substance will be carried, sometimes with great rapidity, against the swell, back to the sea.
"The south side of Long-Island, especially at the east end, is remarkable for these reverting currents, which the natives call sea-pouse, and cautiously avoid.
"This shore is not less remarkable for the exercise of bathing, which the inhabitants in general suppose receives much efficacy from the impetuosity of the surf, as well as the coldness of the water; and it is truly wonderful, that of the many who have recourse to this adventurous exercise, so few are carried off.
"No event of the kind has happened for a considerable length of time, until last Sunday morning, when a youth of about 17, being not much of a swimmer, had just taken a plunge into the waves near the shore, and finding himself going off, called out for help, a young man of the company, who is said to have swum very well, sprang to his assistance; but, unable to stem the current, or even to cross it, they both went out with great rapidity, in sight of their anxiously distressed companions, and were buried in the sea.
"The body of the youth has since been found at Montauk."
Convention of Virginia.
Friday, the 27th of July, 1788.
Mr. Wythe reported, from the committee appointed, such amendments to the proposed constitution of government for the United States, as were by them deemed necessary to be recommended to the consideration of the Congress which shall first assemble under the said constitution, to be acted upon according to the mode prescribed in the fifth article thereof; and he read the same in his place, and afterwards delivered them in at the clerk's table, where the same were again read, and are as followeth:
That there be a declaration or bill of rights asserting and securing from encroachment the essential and unalienable rights of the people in some such manner as the following:
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 magistrates, legislature, 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 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 disseized 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 certain remedy by recourse to the laws for all injuries and wrongs he may receive in his 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 rights, 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 favored or established by law in preference to others.

The following RATIFICATION was read in Congress on the 2d instant:
STATE OF NEW-HAMPSHIRE. IN CONVENTION of the DELEGATES of the PEOPLE of the STATE of NEW-HAMPSHIRE,
June the twenty-first, 1788.
THE CONVENTION, having impartially discussed and fully considered the constitution for the United States of America, reported to Congress by the convention of Delegates from the United States of America, and submitted to us by a resolution of the general court of said state, passed the fourteenth day of December last past, and acknowledging with grateful hearts the goodness of the supreme ruler of the universe, in affording the people of the United States, in the course of his Providence, an opportunity, deliberately and peaceably, without fraud or surprise, of entering into an explicit and solemn compact with each other, by assenting to and ratifying a new constitution, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity—DO, in the name and behalf of the people of the state of New-Hampshire, assent to and ratify the said constitution for the United States of America. And as it is the opinion of this convention, that certain amendments and alterations in the said constitution would remove the fears and quiet the apprehension of many of the good people of this state, and more effectually guard against an undue administration of the federal government, the convention do therefore recommend, that the following alterations and provisions be introduced into the said constitution.
[Here follow the amendments, which were inserted in our last Thursday's Journal.]
AND THE CONVENTION DO, In the name and behalf of the people of this state, enjoin it upon their representatives in Congress, at all times until the alterations and provisions aforesaid have been considered agreeably to the fifth article of the said constitution, to exert all their influence, and use all reasonable and legal methods to obtain a ratification of the said alterations and provisions, in such manner as is provided in the said article. And, That the United States in Congress assembled, may have due notice of the assent and ratification of the said constitution by this government, it is resolved, that the assent and ratification aforesaid, be engrossed on parchment, together with the recommendation and injunction aforesaid, and with this resolution: and that John Sullivan, esquire, president of convention, and John Langdon, esquire, president of the state, transmit the same, countersigned by the secretary of convention and the secretary of the state, under their hands and seals, to the United States in Congress assembled.

By Order, JOHN CALFE, Sec'y of Convention. JOSEPH PEARSON, Sec. of the State.
A correspondent has favored us with the following melancholly account—
An aged man was present at the court-house, in Essex county, New-Jersey, on Wednesday sen-night, at the trial of his son, who was convicted and found guilty of burglary, committed upon the house of Mr. Heffe Patterson, collector, at Acquackanick, and received sentence of death, to be inflicted on Friday the 11th instant. This young hardened wretch no sooner knew his doom, but he called for a bowl of grog, and having supped very heartily of it, retired to his confinement without any visible sensations respecting his awful fate.—What aggravates this dreadful circumstance, is, it is said, that his venerable parent has already experienced a similar trial in two of his sons, another is now under sentence of death in one of the southern states, and declined to the same unhappy end!—O! virtue, where hast thou fled! blush humanity—blush at these horrid perpetrations which bring mankind to such direful ignominy and death.
The Poughkeepsie Journal of July 8, says, Since our last nothing very material has transpired in convention; they are still discussing the constitution by paragraphs, and we flatter ourselves in our next we will give to the public, the final result of their deliberations.
Yesterday arrived the brig Amboy, Dyhi, Cape-Francois, in 15 days; ship Beiley, Wheaton, New-Castle, Delaware; schooner William, Sra de Aranfafo, Pedro Echegarreta, St. Domingo, in 22 days; schooner Washington, Bartlet, Newbern, North-Carolina, in 3 days.
