New-York, Oct. 17.
Congress yesterday appointed the Hon. Samuel Holden Parions, John Armstrong, Esq. and James M. Varnum, Esqrs. to be Judges in the Western Territory of the United States.
We are informed, that the insurgents of Tioga, in Pennsylvania, have transmitted a memorial to the Executive Council, in which they state, that they were ignorant of the warrant that had issued for apprehending John Franklin, and that they are sincerely sorry for the rash measures they pursued in consequence of that event. We hear likewise, that they have liberated Colonel Pickering's family, and have offered to take the oath of allegiance to the commonwealth, without soliciting any thing in favor of their leader. It is earnestly to be hoped, that such advantage will be taken of this disposition, as may effectually establish order and tranquillity in the county of Luzerne.
Franklin behaves with great decorum in the gaol, and manifests a disposition to reconcile his friends at Tioga to the proceedings which have been instituted against him. Before the arrival of the memorial mentioned in the preceding article, he had offered through his council, to send a letter to them for that purpose; and we presume that he now entertains a just sense of his situation, as will induce him to endeavor to make every atonement in his power for the injuries he has done his country. The late repeal of that part of an act of assembly, which empowered council to direct offences to be tried out of the county where they were committed, will render it necessary to remove Franklin to Luzerne, in order to take his trial at the next sessions of Oyer and terminer held in and for that county.
In consequence of the miraculous preservation of the life of George Washington, Esquire, in General Braddock's defeat, a dissenting clergyman in Virginia predicted, that God had preserved his life to be an eminent blessing to his country. This prophecy has been literally fulfilled. May not the providential preservation of the valuable life of this great and good man, on his way home from the Convention be for the great and important purpose of establishing, by his name and future influence, a government, that will render safe and permanent the liberties of America, which he has acquired by his sword?
ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE.
Extract of a letter from London, July 3. "A good deal occurring for communication, soon after my receipt of your acceptable favor of the 26th of Oct. last, I fully intended an immediate acknowledgment of your kindness, but our mutual friend shewing me a letter he had written to you, of which, had I written, mine must nearly have been a repetition, I concluded to defer it until something fresh occurred, desiring he would account for my seeming neglect, as besides the gratification I receive from every token of your remembrance. I was much pleased to hear that Clarkson's Essay had been usefully spread among you, and with your other agreeable intelligence on his interesting subject, it was fully expected that in the late session of parliament, some steps would have been taken by some of its well-concerned members to bring it under notice, and have made a suitable opening for us to renew our application; but it being concluded to defer those steps until another session, in order during the interval, to collect and digest such a body of evidence or information, as might render the success, of any motion more probable; the society after much deliberation, appeared most easy to decline it at present, and resume the consideration of its propriety, early after the next meeting of the legislature—During the late session, however, means were industriously used to promote the perusal of Clarkson's Essay and similar tracts by the Members of both Houses, and to collect necessary information, which has been attended with considerable success; the impressions, made on many men of influence, greatly encouraging to that perseverance, which experience has evinced to be so necessary to the great object in view.
For these purposes, a number have joined in pecuniary subscriptions to defray the accruing expence, and in order to give their exertions more effect and consistency; in June last, Granville Sharp and Thomas Clarkson being of the number; the latter went lately to spend a few weeks at Bristol, Liverpool, &c. in order to collect facts from whence so much of the African trade is carried on. Between 3 and 4000. has been already collected, and we expect our stock will yet be considerably increased.
It is proposed the committee's attention should not be confined to the share which this nation has in the African commerce, but that correspondences should be opened with the different ones who are concerned in the traffic for slaves, in order if possible, to promote its general abolition.
The account you have given your brother of the views of a similar society at Philadel-
phia, with others received from Virginia, New-York, and New England, are pleasing proofs of the spreading of a general concern to effect it. A deputation from the body of the general Baptists, who assemble here by deputies from different parts of the kingdom, waited on our last committee to assure us, "of all the support and assistance which their society can afford to a cause, which they are much concerned to promote," expressing our particular views as unnecessarily to excite opposition from those interested to oppose them.
Our treasurer has lately received a letter from Captain Thomson of the Nautilus sloop of war, who has appointed to conduct the transports with the negroes, designed to form a free settlement on Sierra Leona, in Africa, dated at Teneriffe the 22d of April last, mentioning their having had so far a favorable passage of about 11 days from Plymouth, and that the poor blacks had behaved very well and were then in good health, furnishing a hope, as he observes, that what had commenced so auspiciously would end well. But yet I cannot but anxiously wish there may be no reason to fear the effects of the mischievous machinations of the more savage Europeans on the coast, to frustrate the benevolent intentions of Government in sending out this Colony; the expence of which I suppose has been little less than £. 40,000 sterling.
On Sunday evening last was married, JAMES NEILSON, Esq. of Dominica, to Miss POLLY AUDIBERT, daughter of Philip Audibert, Esq. of this city.
On Saturday fe'night expired, at his lodgings in Philadelphia, BROOKS SMITH, Esq. a native of Birmingham, in Great-Britain.
** CURTIUS is received, and will appear as soon as possible.
For the DAILY ADVERTISER.
"The great source of all the evils which afflict Republics, is, that the People are too apt to make choice of Rulers, who are either Politicians without being Patriots, or Patriots without being Politicians."
MR. CHILDS,
WHEN I took notice of Cato's prefatory Address to the Citizens of the State of New-York, in your paper of the first instant, I had no serious intention of becoming a controversial defendant of the New Constitution. Indeed, if the system required defence, I was neither so weak, nor so vain, as to suppose myself competent to the task. To obviate difficulties which may arise, when such weighty affairs as the principles of legislation are under discussion; I am sensible requires talents far beyond my limited abilities. When I offered a few remarks on Cato's introduction, I was strongly impressed with the idea, that even the most substantial criticisms, promulgated by the most influential and avowed Citizens, could have no good tendency at this time: I viewed the public mind as wound up to a great pitch of dissatisfaction, by the inadequacy of the powers of the present Congress, to the general good and conservation of the Union—I believed then, as I do now, that the people were determined and prepared for a change: I conceived, therefore, that the wish of every good man would be, that this change might be peaceably effected. With this view, I opposed myself to Cato. I asserted, in my last, that the door of recommendation was shut, and cannot be opened by the same men, that the Convention was dissolved. If I am wrong, it will be of great importance to Cato's future remarks, that he make it appear. If he will declare, from sufficient authority, that the Members of the late Convention have only adjourned, to give time to hear the sentiments of every political disputant, that, after the numerous presses of America have groaned with the heavy productions of speculative politicians, they will again meet—weigh their respective merits, and accommodate accordingly:—I say, if Cato can do this, I make no hesitation in acknowledging the utility of his plan. In the mean time, I positively deny having any, the most distant desire of shutting the door of free discussion, on any subject, which may benefit the people; but I maintain (until Cato's better information refutes me) that the door, as far as relates to this subject, is already shut—not by me, but by the highest possible authority which the case admits—even by those great Patriots who were delegated by the people of the United States, to open such a door, as might enable them to escape from impending calamities, and political shipwreck. This distinction is clear, I conceive, and ought to have some weight even with Cato, as well as those for whom he writes. I am not one of those who gain an influence by cajoling the unthinking mass (tho' I pity their delusions) and ringing in their ears the gracious sound of their absolute Sovereignty. I despise the trick of such dirty policy. I know there are Citizens, who, to gain their own private ends, enslave the minds of the well meaning, tho' less intelligent parts of the community, by sating their vanity with that cordial and unfeigned specific, that all power is seated in the People. For my part, I am not much attached to the Majesty of
the multitude, and therefore wave all pretensions (founded on such conduct) to their countenance. I consider them in general as very ill qualified to judge for themselves what government will best suit their peculiar situations; nor is this to be wondered at:—The science of Government is not easily understood. Cato will admit, I presume, that men of good education and deep reflection, only, are judges of the form of a Government; whether it is calculated to promote the happiness of society; whether it is constituted on such principles as will restrain arbitrary power, on the one hand, and equal to the exclusion of corruption, and the destruction of licentiousness, on the other. Whether the New Constitution, if adopted, will prove adequate to such desirable ends, time, the mother of events must shew. For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system, which, without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests. I will not presume to say, that a more perfect system might not have been fabricated;—but who expects perfection at once?—And it may be asked, who are judges of it? Few, I believe, who have leisure to study the nature of Government scientifically, but will frequently disagree about the quantum of power to be delegated to Rulers, and the different modifications of it. Ingenious men will give very plausible, and, it may be, pretty substantial reasons, for the adoption of two plans of Government, which shall be fundamentally different in their construction, and not less so in their operation:—yet both, if honestly administered, might operate with safety and advantage. When a new form of Government is fabricated, it lies with the people at large to receive or reject it:—this is their inherent right. Now, I would ask, (without intending to triumph over the weaknesses or follies of any men) how are the people to profit by this inherent right? By what conduct do they discover, that they are sensible of their own interest in this situation? Is it by the exercise of a well disciplined reason, and a correspondent education? I believe not. How then? As I humbly conceive, by a tractable and docile disposition, and by honest men endeavoring to keep their minds easy; while others, of the same disposition, with the advantages of genius and learning, are constructing the bark that may, by the blessing of Heaven, carry them to the port of rest and happiness; if they will embark without diffidence, and proceed without mutiny. I know this is blunt and ungracious reasoning: it is the best, however, which I am prepared to offer on this momentous business; and, since my own heart does not reproach me, I shall not be very solicitous about its reception. If truth, then, is permitted to speak, the mass of the people of America (any more than the mass of other countries) cannot judge with any degree of precision, concerning the fitness of this New Constitution to the peculiar situation of America:—they have, however, done wisely in delegating the power of framing a Government to those every way worthy and well qualified; and, if this Government is snatched, untaught, from them, it may not be amiss to enquire into the causes which will probably occasion their disappointment. Out of several, which present to my mind, I shall venture to select One, baneful enough, in my opinion, to work this dreadful evil. There are always men in society of some talents, but more ambition, in quest of that which it would be impossible for them to obtain in any other way than by working on the passions and prejudices of the less discerning classes of citizens and yeomanry.—It is the plan of men of this stamp to frighten the people with ideal bugbears, in order to mould them to their own purposes. The unceasing cry of these designing croakers is, my friends, your liberty is invaded! Have you thrown off the yoke of one tyrant, to invest yourselves with that of another! Have you fought, bled, and conquered, for such a change! If you have—go—retire into silent obscurity, and kiss the rod that scourges you.
To be serious: These state empirics leave no species of deceit untried to convince the unthinking people that they have power to do—what? Why truly to do much mischief, and to occasion anarchy and wild uproar. And for what reason do these political jugglers incite the peaceably disposed to such extravagant commotions? Because until the people really discover that they have power, by some outrageous act, they never can become of any importance. The misguided people never reflect during this frenzy, that the moment they become riotous, they renounce, from that moment, their independence, and commence vassals to their ambitious leaders, who instantly, and with a high hand, rob them of their consequence, and apply it to their own present, or future aggrandizement; nor will these tyrants over the people stick at sacrificing their good, if an advantageous compromise can be effected for themselves.
Before I conclude, I cannot refrain from observing, that Cato states very disingenuously the manner in which the Federal System came abroad. He tells us, Congress
were sensible that the late Convention exercised a power which no authority could delegate to them. The Convention, says Cato, have taken upon them to make a perfectly new system, which, by its operation, will absorb the sovereignties of the individual States; this new government founded on usurpation, (Cato, this expression is very indecent—but I will rouse no passions against you) this consolidated system Congress did not approve, and therefore have been silent on its character. That Congress was silent on its character is true, but, could Cato find no other reason for their silence than that of disapprobation?—I believe Congress were by no means dissatisfied with the freedom the Convention took with the Articles of the Confederation; I believe further, that with very few exceptions, that honorable body approved of the New Constitution; and, that they did not accompany it to the States with a recommendatory capitulation or circular letter, proceeded from a delicate attention to the Members of the late Convention, to a few of their own body, and to the people of America at large. That the Convention went so earnestly into the business committed to their care, ought, instead of being matter of chagrin, to occasion the liveliest expressions of approbation and gratitude. As matters stand just now, I think it may be fairly said, that no generous plan of government for the United States has ever been constructed, (the plan only excepted which is under consideration) so that it seems quite unnecessary in Cato to disturb the peace of society by a bombast appeal to their feelings, on the generous plan of power delivered down by their renowned forefathers. I venerate the memory of the slaughtered patriots of America, and rejoice as much as Cato, that they did not bleed in vain, but I would have America profit by their death in a different manner from him. I believe they fought to obtain liberty for no particular State, but for the whole Union, indissolubly connected under one controlling and supreme head.
Cato complains of my anticipating parts of his subject which he intended for future periods. I shall break in no more upon his arrangements; all he can say against the New Constitution has been already disseminated in a neighbouring State, by the glorious defenders of Shayism. I shall therefore leave Cato to the wicked influences of his own heart, in the fullest persuasion that all good men, and good citizens, will combine their influence to establish the fair fabric of American liberty, beyond the reach of suspicion, violence, anarchy, and tyranny. When this glorious work is accomplished, what may America not hope to arrive at! I will venture to prophecy that the day on which the Union under the new government shall be ratified by the American States, that that day will begin an era which will be recorded and observed by future ages, as a day which the Americans had marked by their wisdom in circumscribing the power, and ascertaining the decline of the ancient nations in Christendom.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner.
Castings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first melting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the difference, in short, is nearly the same as there is between refined and Bloomery Iron. The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz.
Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea-kettles, pye pans, skillets, griddles, porash kettles and coolers, whaling-kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for for-gear-work and distilleries, rollers and shears for fluting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work, Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's caboucs of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill rounds and gudgeons, law-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearl ashes, cast iron screws for fulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, fash-weighs, forge-hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundred, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c. N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15. 6w
