SAVANNAH, November 8.
The following are the resolutions entered into by the Honourable the House of Assembly of this State on the 25th ult. respecting the recommendation of Congress relative to the Federal Constitution.
Resolved, That a Convention be elected on the day of the next General Election, and in the same manner as Representatives are elected; and that the said Convention consist of not more than three Members from each county.
Resolved, That the said Convention shall meet at Augusta on the fourth Tuesday in December next, and, as soon thereafter as may be convenient, proceed to consider the said report, letter, and resolutions, and to reject or adopt any part or the whole thereof.
Resolved, That any Member of the Executive Council, or of the Legislature, or other person holding any office of honor or profit under this State, may be elected a Member of the said Convention.
Resolved, That any three of the said Members may adjourn from day to day, and a majority to proceed to business.
The General Assembly adjourned yesterday evening. During the session the following acts were passed:
An Act to regulate the Militia of this State, and for other purposes therein mentioned.
An Act to raise supplies.
An Act for suppressing the violence of the Indians.
Letters from Effingham represent the inhabitants of that county, settled on Great Ogeechee river, to be in a most deplorable situation from their being exposed to the ravages of the Indians. On Wednesday the 31st ult. a man named Sermon and his son were killed and scalped on Scull's Creek, near Mizell's Ferry. Next day a scouting party buried the dead, and discovered eight Indians near the place. Three men and a boy are missing from the same neighbourhood, who are also supposed to be killed. Most of the settlers on the south side of the river and some on the north have moved off in the utmost distress towards South Carolina.
We hear that on Sunday last a man was fired upon and slightly wounded, near the fort at Canouchie, about 26 miles from this town.
Extract of a letter dated Hardwick, Great Ogeechee, November 5.
"Last Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, six white men, well armed and mounted, went to Capt Samuel Stile's; he happened not to be at home; they asked the driver where he was; he informed them his master was down on the falls. They then made being a sensible fellow, and supposing their intention was to plunder the house, told them the negroes were all armed, and, if they attempted any outrage, he was prepared for them; upon this the fellows rode off. No men of that description being in this district makes us believe they must be plunderers from St. Mary's."
ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 29.
Tuesday evening several prisoners, confined in the gaol here, for different crimes and misdemeanors, made their escape by breaking gaol.
This town hath been lately so infested by a number of villains, that since our last several houses, cellars, &c. have been broke open and robbed of sundry articles.
ALBANY, Nov. 29.
Last Lord's-day morning, the Reverend JOHN BASSETT was, by a commission of the Revd. Dutch Synod, publicly ordained Minister of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in this city. The solemnities of the day were introduced by the Rev. Dr. E. Westerlo, senior Minister of the Church, by a sermon, from 2 Cor. vi. 1, 2. In the afternoon, Mr. Basset delivered his introductory discourse, from 1 Cor. iv. 1, 2. and the whole was closed, in the evening, by the Reverend Dirk Romeyne, of Schenectady with a sermon—Psalm cxxix.
Last week arrived in this city (but from whence we have not been able to learn) a person, with Six Hundred Pounds Counterfeit Paper Money: soon after his arrival, lodgings were bespoken for him in our City-Hall, where it is probable he will remain until the July term of the Supreme Court.
New-York; Dec. 7.
Yesterday it was currently reported in town, that war was declared by England against France, and that the British had captured two French frigates in the Channel. This rumor originated from a letter, said to be received from Boston. The following paragraph, from a Boston paper, appears to be the authority for this report:—but as the Packet mentioned therein is the same which arrived here a few days since, and which, with other late arrivals, give no intelligence of such an event, we must be
justified in pronouncing, that there exist not, as yet, the smallest grounds for giving credit to the report.
Extract of a letter from Halifax, Nov. 20.
"This day the Lord Hyde Packet from England arrived—authentic news, by her is, that a WAR between Great-Britain and France has broke out—that two French frigates had been TAKEN and carried into Falmouth, three days before the failed "—Orders are come to fortify this place "with ALL POSSIBLE DISPATCH."
An experiment on tar extracted from Scotch coal has been made in this city by Mr. Seaman, a ship-wright, who has lately gone to settle at Carthagena. Three pieces of pine timber were prepared for this purpose: one of which was brushed over with a composition of pitch, turpentine and oil; another with common tar mixed with sulphur, and the other simply with Scotch tar. The three pieces were then chained together and sunk in the East river, in the month of June last. A few days ago they were taken out of the water, and it was found that the one prepared with the Scotch tar had received no injury, being as sound and free from the worm or barnacles as when first put into the water; while the other two had suffered very much from both. This may prove to be a valuable discovery to the nautical world, if properly attended to.—The three pieces of pine timber are left at the Coffee-House for the inspection of the curious.
Extract of a letter from Georgia, to a Gentleman in Providence, Rhode-Island, dated October 20.
"I congratulate you, and all well wishers to the United States of America, upon the happy prospects afforded us by the new Federal Constitution.—It was received here about ten days since, and meets the universal approbation of the citizens of this State.
"Our Legislature is now sitting Augusta, on account of an Indian war; and doubt not but they will adopt the measures recommended by Congress and the Convention."
Extract of a letter from a Gentleman in Boston, of a very late date, to his correspondent in Alexandria.
"Nothing certain can be predicted of the success of the Plan of Government, proposed by the late Convention, though I think the chances are in favor of its adoption at present; but before the State Convention sits, the current may be against the plan. Many are alarmed at the idea, that the Legislatures of several States will be a bridled in the power of doing wrong, and to be bound by rule and compact to do right, which they consider as an hardship; others are sensible that they individually can be of no importance in a steady Government, while others, anxious to be with the popular voice, at the expence of every thing sacred, and supposing that a new mean of being so is to bawl in favor of liberty, belch out curses on Aristocracy, Monarchy, Oligarchy, &c. &c. &c."
The House of Delegates of Virginia, on Saturday 17th of November, 1787.
Resolved, That all and every Act or Acts of Assembly now in force in that Commonwealth, repugnant to the treaty of peace between the United States and the King of Great-Britain, or any article thereof, ought to be repealed, but that the operation of this law should be suspended until the Executive shall be informed by Congress, that the other States in the Union have passed similar laws of repeal.
Yesterday arrived here the sloop Carpenter, in 18 days from Savannah.
On 26th of October last, His Excellency the Right Honorable the Earl of Dunmore, Governor of the Bahama Islands, arrived at Nassau, New-Providence, from England.
Captain Sarly, in the ship Edgar from Alexandria, arrived at Bourdeaux, on the 21st of September last, after a passage of 38 days.
On the 23d of September last, Captain Wells, in the ship Independence, from Portmack, arrived at Bourdeaux in 38 days, without water or provisions. He spoke a Swedish vessel, which furnished him with a barrel of pork and a few fish.
THE FEDERALIST, No. XVII. To the People of the State of New-York.
A N objection of a nature different from that which has been stated and answered, in my last address, may perhaps be likewise urged against the principle of legislation for the individual citizens of America. It may be said, that it would tend to render the government of the Union too powerful, and to enable it to absorb in itself those residuary authorities, which it might be judged proper to leave with the States for local purposes. Allowing the utmost latitude to the love of power, which any reasonable man can require, I confess I am at a loss to discover what temptation the persons entrusted with the administration of the general government could ever feel to divest the States of the authorities of that description. The regulation of the mere domestic police of a State appears to me to hold out slender allurements to ambition. Commerce, finance, negotiation and war seem to comprehend
all the objects, which have charms for minds governed by that passion; and all the powers necessary to these objects ought in the first instance to be lodged in the national depositary. The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same State, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things in short which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction. It is therefore improbable that there should exist a disposition in the Federal councils to usurp the powers with which they are connected; because the attempt to exercise those powers would be as troublesome as it would be nugatory; and the possession of them, for that reason, would contribute nothing to the dignity, to the importance, or to the splendor of the national government.
But let it be admitted for argument sake, that mere wantonness and lust of domination would be sufficient to beget that disposition, still it may be safely affirmed, that the sense of the constituent body of the national Representatives, or in other words of the people of the several States would control the indulgence of so extravagant an appetite. It will always be far more easy for the State Governments to encroach upon the national authorities, than for the national Government to encroach upon the State authorities. The proof of this proposition turns upon the greater degree of influence, which the State Governments, if they administer their affairs with uprightness and prudence, will generally possess over the people; a circumstance which at the same time teaches us, that there is an inherent and intrinsic weakness in all Federal Constitutions; and that too much pains cannot be taken in their organization, to give them all the force which is compatible with the principles of liberty.
The superiority of influence in favor of the particular Governments would result partly from the diffusive construction of the national Government; but chiefly from the nature of the objects to which the attention of the State administrations would be directed.
It is a known fact in human nature that its affections are commonly weak in proportion to the distance or diffusiveness of the object. Upon the same principle that a man is more attached to his family than to his neighbourhood, to his neighbourhood than to the community at large, the people of each State would be apt to feel a stronger bias towards their local Governments than towards the Government of the Union; unless the force of that principle should be destroyed by a much better administration of the latter.
This strong propensity of the human heart would find powerful auxiliaries in the objects of State regulation.
The variety of more minute interests, which will necessarily fall under the superintendence of the local administrations, and which will form so many rivulets of influence running through every part of the society, cannot be particularised without involving a detail too tedious and uninteresting to compensate for the instruction it might afford.
There is one transcendent advantage belonging to the province of the State Governments which alone suffices to place the matter in a clear and satisfactory light—I mean the ordinary administration of criminal and civil justice. This of all others is the most powerful, most universal and most attractive source of popular obedience and attachment. It is that, which—being the immediate and visible guardian of life and property—having its benefits and its terrors in constant activity before the public eye—regulating all those personal interests and familiar concerns to which the sensibility of individuals is more immediately awake—contributes more than any other circumstance to impressing upon the minds of the people affection, esteem and reverence towards the Government. This great cement of society which will diffuse itself almost wholly through the channels of the particular Governments, independent of all other causes of influence, would ensure them so decided an empire over their respective citizens, as to render them at all times a complete counterpoise and not unfrequently dangerous rivals to the power of the Union.
The operations of the national Government on the other hand falling less immediately under the observation of the mass of the citizens, the benefits derived from it will chiefly be perceived and attended to by speculative men. Relating to more general interests, they will be less apt to come home to the feelings of the people; and, in proportion, less likely to inspire a habitual sense of obligation and an active sentiment of attachment.
The reasoning on this head has been abundantly exemplified by the experience of all Federal Constitutions, with which we are acquainted, and of all others, which have borne the least analogy to them.
Though the ancient Federal systems were not strictly speaking Confederacies, yet they partook of the nature of that species of association. There was a common head,
chieftain, or sovereign, whose authority extended over the whole nation; and a number of subordinate vassals, or feudatories, who had large portions of land allotted to them, and numerous trains of inferior vassals or retainers, who occupied and cultivated that land upon the tenure of fealty, or obedience to the persons of whom they held it. Each principal vassal was a kind of sovereign within his particular demesnes. The consequences of this situation were a continual opposition to the authority of the sovereign, and frequent wars between the great barons, or chief feudatories themselves. The power of the head of the nation was commonly too weak either to preserve the public peace or to protect the people against the oppressions of their immediate lords. This period of European affairs is emphatically styled by historians the times of feudal anarchy.
When the Sovereign happened to be a man of vigorous and warlike temper, and of superior abilities, he would acquire a personal weight and influence, which answered for the time the purposes of a more regular authority. But in general the power of the Barons triumphed over that of the Prince; and in many instances his dominion was entirely thrown off, and the great Fiefs were erected into independent Principalities or States. In those instances in which the Monarch finally prevailed over his vassals, his success was chiefly owing to the tyranny of those vassals over their dependents. The Barons or Nobles, equally the enemies of the Sovereign, and the oppressors of the common people, were dreaded and detested by both; till mutual danger and mutual interest effected an union between them fatal to the power of the Aristocracy. Had the Nobles, by a conduct of clemency and justice, preserved the fidelity and devotion of their retainers and followers, the contests between them and the Prince must almost always have ended in their favor, and in the abridgement or subversion of the royal authority.
This is not an assertion founded merely in speculation or conjecture. Among other illustrations of its truth which might be cited, Scotland will furnish a cogent example. The spirit of clanish which was at an early day introduced into that kingdom, uniting the Nobles and their dependents by ties equivalent to those of kindred, rendered the Aristocracy a constant over-match for the power of the Monarch; till the incorporation with England subdued its fierce and ungovernable spirit, and reduced it within those rules of subordination, which a more rational and a more energetic system of civil polity had previously established in the latter kingdom.
The separate Governments in a Confederacy may aptly be compared with the feudal baronies; with this advantage in their favor, that from the reasons already explained they will generally possess the confidence and good will of the people; and with so important a support will be able effectually to oppose all encroachments of the national Government. It will be well if they are not able to counteract its legitimate and necessary authority. The points of similitude consist in the rivalry of power, applicable to both, and in the CONCENTRATION of large portions of the strength of the community into particular DEPOSITS, in one case at the disposal of individuals, in the other at the disposal of political bodies.
A concise review of the events that have attended Confederate Governments will further illustrate this important doctrine; an inattention to which has been the great source of our political mistakes, and has given our jealousy a direction to the wrong side. This review shall form the subject of some ensuing papers. P U B L I U S.

AMONG the Confederacies of antiquity the most considerable was that of the Grecian Republics, associated under the Amphictyonic Council. From the best accounts transmitted of this celebrated institution, it bears a very instructive analogy to the present Confederation of the American States.
The members retained the characters of Independent and Sovereign States, and had equal votes in the Federal Council. This Council had a general authority to propose and resolve whatever it judged necessary for the common welfare of Greece—to declare and carry on war—to decide in the last resort, all controversies between the members—to fine the aggressing party—to employ the whole force of the Confederacy against the disobedient—to admit new members. The Amphictyons were the guardians of religion, and of the immense riches belonging to the temple of Delphos; where they had the right of jurisdiction in controversies between the inhabitants and those who came to consult the Oracle. As a further provision for the efficacy of the Federal Powers, they took an oath mutually to defend and protect the United Cities—to punish the violators of this oath—and to inflict vengeance on sacrilegious despoilers of the temple. In theory, and upon paper, this apparatus

of power seems amply sufficient for all general purposes. In several material instances they exceed the powers enumerated in the Articles of Confederation. The Amphictyons had in their hands the superintendence of the times, one of the principal engines by which Government was then maintained; they had a declared authority to use coercion against refractory cities, and were bound by oath to exert this authority on the necessary occasions.
Very different nevertheless was the experiment from the theory. The powers, like those of the present Congress, were administered by deputies appointed wholly by the Cities, in their political capacities; and exercised over them in the same capacities. Hence the weakness, the disorders, and finally, the destruction of the Confederacy. The more powerful members, instead of being kept in awe and subordination, tyrannized successively over all the rest. Athens, as we learn from Demosthenes, was the arbiter of Greece seventy-three years. The Lacedemonians next governed it twenty-nine years. At subsequent periods, after the battle of Leuctra, the Thebans had their turn of domination.
It happened but too often, according to Plutarch, that the deputies of the stronger Cities, awed and corrupted those of the weaker, and that judgment went in favor of the most powerful party.
Even in the midst of defensive and dangerous wars with Persia and Macedon, the members never acted in concert, and were, more or fewer of them, alternately the dupes or the hirelings of the common enemy. The intervals of foreign war were filled up by domestic vicissitudes, convulsions and carnage.
After the conclusion of the war with Xerxes, it appears that the Lacedemonians required that a number of the Cities should be turned out of the Confederacy for the unfaithful part they had acted. The Athenians finding that the Lacedemonians would lose fewer partisans by such a measure than themselves, and would become masters of the public deliberations, vigorously opposed and defeated the attempt. This piece of history proves at once the inefficiency of the Union, the ambition and jealousy of its most powerful members, and the dependent and degraded condition of the rest. The smaller members, though entitled by the theory of their system to revolve in equal pride and majesty around the common centre, had become in fact satellites of the orbs of primary magnitude.
Had the Greeks, says the Abbe Melot, been as wise as they were courageous, they would have been admonished by experience of the necessity of a closer Union, and would have availed themselves of the peace, which followed their success against the Persian arms, to establish such a reformation. Instead of this obvious policy, Athens and Sparta, inflated with the victories and the glory they had acquired, became, first rivals and then enemies; and did each other infinitely more mischief than they had suffered from Xerxes. Their mutual jealousies, fears, hatreds and injuries, ended in the celebrated Peloponnesian War; which itself ended in the ruin and slavery of the Athenians, who had begun it.
As a weak Government, when not at war, is ever agitated by internal dissensions, so these never fail to bring on fresh calamities from abroad. The Phocians having ploughed up some consecrated ground, belonging to the temple of Apollo, the Amphictyonic Council, according to the superstition of the age, imposed a fine on the sacrilegious offenders. The Phocians being abetted by Athens and Sparta, refused to submit to the decree. The Thebans, with others of the Cities, undertook to maintain the authority of the Amphictyons, and to avenge the violated God. The latter being the weaker party, invited the assistance of Philip of Macedon, who had secretly fostered the contest. Philip gladly seized the opportunity of executing the designs he had long planned against the liberties of Greece. By his intrigues and bribes, he won over to his interest the popular leaders of several Cities; and by their influence and votes, gained admission into the Amphictyonic Council, and by his arts and his arms made himself master of the Confederacy.
Such were the consequences of the fallacious principle on which this interesting establishment was founded. Had Greece, says a judicious observer of her fate, been united by a stricter Confederation, and persevered in her Union, she would never have worn the chains of Macedon, and might have proved a barrier to the vast projects of Rome.
The Achaean league, as it is called, was another society of Grecian Republics, which furnishes us with fruitful instructions.
The Union here was far more intimate, and its organization much wiser than in the preceding instance. It will accordingly appear, that, though not exempt from a similar catastrophe, it by no means equally deserved it.
The Cities composing this league retained their municipal jurisdictions, appointed their own officers, and enjoyed a perfect
equality. The Senate, in which they were represented, had the sole and exclusive right of peace and war; of sending and receiving Ambassadors; of entering into treaties and alliances; of appointing a Chief Magistrate, or Prætor, as he was called, who commanded their armies; and who, with the advice and consent of ten of the Senators, not only administered the Government in the recesses of the Senate, but had a great share in its deliberations when assembled. According to the primitive Constitution, there were two Prætors associated in the Administration; but, on trial, a single one was preferred.

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS, THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quanti- ties and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its civil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the sag-end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun of short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured into fall-cloth in Holland. N. B. It should be enquired who are the prom- oters of this caution, be it known that we are a com- pany of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. tf New-York, Nov. 8.

Dr. RYAN's incomparable Worm destroying SUGAR PLUMBS, Highly necessary to be kept in all Families, So exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their transcendent excellency in the destroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bodies of men, women, and children, by so only breaking the knots in the du- odenum, or gut next the stomach, but they pass through the smallest passages of the body, and purge away thoseropy and slimy humours which are the cause of those pernicious vermin, and the source of many other disorders. They are one of the best purges in the whole world for gross-bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, safe, and pleasant; they wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all stuff and clam- my humours which stop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food from being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often the case with children, and is attended with a hard belly, stinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength, in the lower parts; likewise settled aches and pains in the head, swellings, old sores, scabs, tetter, or breaking out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and smooth- ness; they purge by urine, and bring away the gravel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the fever, and entirely destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effects, root and branch, so as never to return again; and what makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both taste and sight, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk. I have by these plumbs cured a great many chil- dren of a whooping or chin-coughs, and agues, which distempers are very common and troublesome to fa- milies, and the want of these plumbs are the ruin of many children's constitutions. These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood, carry off all gross, corrupt, and purid hu- mours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any purid matter. The plumb is a great diuretick, cleansing the reins of urine; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medi- cine in the cholick and griping of the guts; it allays and carries off sour vapours, which occasion many disorders in the head; it opens all obstructions in the stomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder, cau- ses a good appetite, and helps digestion. It hath been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronicl distempers, as asthma, phthicks, or shortness of breath, dropsies and yel- low jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons are satisfied that the medicine which works upon such humours, will almost reach any distemper, if not too far gone, since corruption and putrefaction are the fore-runners of all diseases; therefore, no better phyic can be taken for all ages, sexes, and consti- tutions, from infancy to an old age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the female sex, from the age of 14 to 30, and from 40 to 50. Each box con- tains one dozen of these plumbs.---Price Eight Shil- lings, with editions. Sold by H. GAIN, at his Book-store and Printing Office, in Hanover-Square, Diagnostick signs of Worms.
PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hol- lowness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dullness, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, itching in the fundament, white and thick urine, uneasiness, often starting, lost appe- tite, swelled belly, knowing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirst, the bo- dy decayed and lean, fits, often vomiting, stinking breath, &c.
Directions for taking them.

In agues, the same quantity must be taken, 2, 3, or 4 hours before the fits come on, and be repeated three times. In whooping or chin-coughs, give the quantity above-mentioned. June 1. 3aw. tf
