MISCELLANY.
RATIFICATION.
The following RATIFICATION of the NEW CONSTITUTION by the State of New-York, was received and read in Congress on Wednesday the 30th ult.
WE the delegates of the people of the state of New-York, duly elected and met in convention, having maturely considered the constitution for the United States of America, agreed to on the seventeenth day of September, in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven, by the convention then assembled at Philadelphia, in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania (a copy whereof precedes these presents) and having also seriously and deliberately considered the present situation of the United States, DO declare and make known, That all power is originally vested in and consequently derived from the people, and that government is instituted by them for their common interest, protection and security.
That the enjoyment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are essential rights which every government ought to respect and preserve.
That the powers of government may be resumed by the people, whensoever it shall become necessary to their happiness; that every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by the said constitution clearly delegated to the Congress of the United States, or the departments of the government thereof, remains to the people of the several states, or to their respective state governments, to whom they may have granted the same; and that those clauses in the said constitution, which declare, that Congress shall not have or exercise certain powers, do not imply that Congress is entitled to any powers not given by the said constitution; but such clauses are to be construed either as exceptions to certain specified powers, or as inserted merely for greater caution.
That the people have an equal, natural, and unalienable right, freely and peaceably to exercise their religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that no religious test or society ought to be favored or established by law in preference of others.
That the people have a right to keep and bear arms; that a well regulated militia, including the body of the people capable of bearing arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defence of a free state.
That the militia should not be subject to martial law, except in time of war, rebellion, or insurrection.
That standing armies, in time of peace, are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be kept up, except in cases of necessity, and that at all times the military should be under strict subordination to the civil power.
That in the time of peace no soldier ought to be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner; and in time of war only by the civil magistrate, in such manner as the laws may direct.
That no person ought to be taken, imprisoned, or deprived of his freehold, or be exiled, or deprived of his privileges, franchises, life, liberty, or property, but by due process of law.
That no person ought to be put twice in jeopardy of life or limb for one and the same offence, nor, unless in case of impeachment, be punished more than once for the same offence.
That every person restrained of his liberty is entitled to an enquiry into the lawfulness of such restraint, and to a removal thereof if unlawful, and that such enquiry and removal ought not to be denied or delayed, except when, on account of public danger, the Congress shall suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus.
That excessive bail ought not to be required; nor excessive fines imposed; nor cruel or unusual punishments inflicted.
That (except in the government of the land and naval forces, and of the militia when in actual service, and in cases of impeachment) a presentment or indictment by a grand jury ought to be obtained as a necessary preliminary to the trial of all crimes punishable by the judiciary of the United States; and such trial should be speedy, public, and by an impartial jury of the county where the crime was committed; and that no person can be found guilty without the unanimous consent of such jury. But in cases of crimes not committed within any county of any of the United States, and in cases of crimes committed within any county in which a general insurrection may prevail, or which may be in the possession of a foreign enemy, the enquiry and trial may be in such county as the Congress shall by law direct; which county, in the two cases last mentioned, should be as near as conveniently may be to that county in which the crime may have been committed. And that in all criminal prosecutions, the accused ought to be informed of the cause and nature of his accusation, to be confronted with his accusers and the witnesses against him, to have the means of producing his witnesses, and the assistance of counsel for his defence, and should not be compelled to give evidence against himself.
That the trial by jury, in the extent that it obtains by the common law of England, is one of the greatest securities to the rights of a free people, and ought to remain inviolate.
That every freeman has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches and seizures of his person, his papers or his property; and therefore, that all warrants to search suspected places, or seize any freeman, his papers or property, without information upon oath or affirmation of sufficient cause, are grievous and oppressive; and that all general warrants (or such in which the place or person suspected are not particularly designated) are dangerous and ought not to be granted.
That the people have a right peaceably to assemble together to consult for their common good, or to instruct their representatives, and that every person has a right to petition or apply to the legislature for redress of grievances.
That the freedom of the press ought not to be violated or restrained.
That there should be once in four years, an election of the president and vice president, so that no officer who may be appointed by the Congress to act as president, in case of the removal, death, resignation or inability of the president and
vice-president, can in any case continue to act beyond the termination of the period for which the last president and vice-president were elected.
That noing contained in the said constitution, is to be construed to prevent the legislature of any state from passing laws at its discretion, from time to time, to divide such state into convenient districts, and to apportion its representatives to, and amongst such districts.
That the prohibition contained in the said constitution, against ex post facto laws, extends only to laws concerning crimes.
That all appeals in causes, determinable according to the course of the common law, ought to be by writ of error, and not otherwise.
That the judicial power of the United States, in cases in which a state may be a party, does not extend to criminal prosecutions, or to authorise any suit, by any person against a state.
That the judicial power of the United States, as to controversies between citizens of the same state, claiming lands under grants of different states, is not to be construed to extend to any other controversies between them, except those which relate to such lands, so claimed, under grants of different states.
That the jurisdiction of the supreme court of the United States, or any other court to be instituted by the Congress, is not in any case to be increased, enlarged, or extended, by any fiction, collusion or mere suggestion; and that no treaty is to be construed to operate, as to alter the constitution of any state.
UNDER these impressions, and declaring that the rights aforesaid cannot be abridged or violated, and that the explanations aforesaid are consistent with the said constitution, and IN CONFIDENCE that the amendments which shall have been proposed to the said constitution, will receive an early and mature consideration: WE the said delegates, in the name and in the behalf of the people of the state of New-York, DO, by these presents, assent to and RATIFY the said constitution. In full confidence, nevertheless, that until a convention shall be called and convened for proposing amendments to the said constitution, the militia of this state will not be continued in service out of this state for a longer term than six weeks, without the consent of the legislature thereof; that the Congress will not make or alter any regulation in this state, respecting the times, places, and manner of holding elections for senators or representatives, unless the legislature of this state shall neglect or refuse to make laws or regulations for the purpose, or from any circumstance be incapable of making the same; and that in those cases such power will only be exercised until the legislature of this state shall make provision in the premises; that no excise will be imposed on any article of the growth, production or manufacture of the United States, or any of them, within this state, ardent spirits excepted; and that the Congress will not lay direct taxes within this state, but when the monies arising from the import and excise shall be insufficient for the public exigencies, nor then, until Congress shall first have made a requisition upon this state to assess, levy and pay the amount of such requisition made agreeably to the census fixed in the said constitution, in such way and manner as the legislature of this state shall think best; but that in such case, if the state shall refuse or neglect to pay its proportion pursuant to such requisition, then the Congress may assess and levy this state's proportion, together with interest at the rate of six per centum per annum, from the time at which the same was required to be paid.
DONE in Convention at Poughkeepsie, in the county of Dutchess, in the State of New-York, the 26th day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight.
By order of the Convention. GEO. CLINTON, President. Attest JOHN M'KESSON, } Secretaries. AB. B. BANCKER, }
AND the convention do, in the name and behalf of the people of the state of New-York, enjoin it upon their representatives in the Congress, to exert all their influence and use all reasonable means to obtain a ratification of the following amendments to the said Constitution in the manner prescribed therein; and in all laws to be passed by the Congress in the mean time, to conform to the spirit of the said amendments as far as the Constitution will admit.
That there shall be one representative for every thirty thousand inhabitants, according to the enumeration or census mentioned in the Constitution, until the whole number of representatives amounts to two hundred; after which that number shall be continued or increased, but not diminished, as Congress shall direct, and according to such ratio as the Congress shall fix, in conformity to the rule prescribed for the apportionment of representatives and direct taxes.
That the Congress do not impose any excise on any article (except ardent spirits) of the growth, production or manufacture of the United States, or any of them.
That Congress do not lay direct taxes, but when the monies arising from the import and excise, shall be insufficient for the public exigencies, nor then, until Congress shall first have made a requisition upon the states to assess, levy, and pay their respective proportions of such requisition, agreeably to the census fixed in the said Constitution, in such way and manner; as the legislature of the respective states shall judge best; and in such case, if any state shall neglect or refuse to pay its proportion, pursuant to such requisition, then Congress may assess and levy such state's proportion, together with the interest, at the rate of six per centum per annum, from the time of payment, prescribed in such requisition.
That the Congress shall not make or alter any regulation in any state, respecting the times, places, and manner of holding elections for senators or representatives, unless the legislature of such state shall neglect or refuse to make laws or regulations for the purpose, or from any circumstance, be incapable of making the same, and then only, until the legislature of such state shall make provision in the premises; provided that Congress may prescribe the time for the election of representatives.
That no persons except natural born citizens, or such as were citizens on or before the 4th day of July, 1776, or such as held commissions under the United States during the war, and have, at any time since the 4th of July, 1776, become citizens of one or other of the United States, and who shall

That the privilege of the habeas corpus shall not by any law be suspended for a longer term than six months, or until twenty days after the meeting of the Congress next following the passing the act for such suspension.
That the right of the Congress to exercise exclusive legislation over such district, not exceeding ten miles square, as may be cession of a particular state, and the acceptance of Congress, become the seat of the government of the United States, shall not be so exercised as to exempt the inhabitants of such district from paying the like taxes, imposts, duties and excises, as shall be imposed on the other inhabitants of the state in which such district may be; and that no person shall be privileged within the said district from arrest for crimes committed, or debts contracted out of the said district.
That the right of exclusive legislation, with respect to such places as may be purchased for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock yards, and other needful buildings, shall not authorise the Congress to make any law to prevent the laws of the states respectively in which they may be, from extending to such places in all civil and criminal matters, except as to such persons as shall be in the service of the United States; nor to them with respect to crimes committed without such places.
That the compensation for the senators and representatives be ascertained by standing laws; and that no alteration of the existing rate of compensation shall operate for the benefit of the representatives, until after a subsequent election shall have been had.
That the journals of the Congress shall be published at least once a year, with the exception of such parts relating to treaties or military operations, as in the judgment of either house shall require secrecy; and that both houses of Congress shall always keep their doors open during their sessions, unless the business may, in their opinion, require secrecy.

That no person shall be eligible to the office of president of the United States, a third time.
That the executive shall not grant pardons for treason, unless with the consent of the Congress; but may, at his discretion, grant reprieves to persons convicted of treason, until their cases can be laid before the Congress.

That all letters patent, commissions, pardons, writs, and process of the United States, shall run in the name of the people of the United States, and be tested in the name of the president of the United States, or the person exercising his powers for the time being, or the first judge of the court out of which the same shall issue, as the case may be.

Respecting Col. OSWALD's Prosecution. [Continued from last Thursday.]
TO THE CITIZENS OF PENNSYLVANIA. I THINK the late proceedings of the Supreme Court, relative to Mr. Oswald, are a direct violation of the principles of the constitution. It is said, in the 5th article of the bill of rights, "that in all prosecutions for criminal offences, a man hath a right to be heard by himself and his counsel, to demand the cause and nature of his accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses, to call for evidence in his favor, and a speedy public trial by an impartial jury of the county, without the unanimous consent of which jury he cannot be found guilty; nor can he be compelled to give evidence against himself; nor can any man be justly deprived of his liberty except by the laws of the land, or the judgement of his peers." It is beyond a doubt to every one who knows the law, that a contempt of the court is considered every where as a criminal offence. Mr. Oswald, however, in a prosecution for a criminal offence, has had no impartial jury of the county; and they wished to compel him to give evidence against himself. It is in my opinion (and I conceive in the opinion of every impartial man of understanding) an all but common sense to say, that answering to interrogatories may not be giving evidence against a man's self. The lawyer who moved for a rule to show cause why an attachment should not issue against Mr. Oswald, and some of the court said, that making a man answer to interrogatories was a friendly method of treating him (Heaven preserve us all from such friendship!) that it enabled him at once to exculpate and purge himself by his own oath if innocent. Let us suppose that a man should mean a contempt of the court, and should swear that he meant it upon being put to the question. I would then ask in the name of common sense, if this is not giving evidence against himself? In England it has been asserted by some lawyers, by Blackstone especially, that the court have a right to commit immediately in numerous cases for contempt. This doctrine is said to have been opposed by that able lawyer and honest man Lord Camden, and the famous Biogley was at last dismissed from prison, where he had been sent for a supposed contempt of the court, and though he firmly refused to answer to any interrogatories whatever.
It seems, however, to be of no consequence to produce the proceedings of the English courts of law relative to this matter as precedents for our conduct in Pennsylvania. If this should be allowed, we might be compelled to pay tithes. There never was a judge, there never was a lawyer, in the English courts, who asserted, that a clergyman fully vested in a benefice, that a persona imperforate, a person impasse (according to the law phrase) had not a legal indisputable right to certain tithes, whether from church of England people, Quakers, or others. If tithes are claimed from us in Pennsylvania, we are to plead the bill of rights, which says that no man shall be compelled to support a ministry that he does not approve. If we are demanded to answer to interrogatories, we are to plead the bill of rights, which says, that in a criminal offence a man shall have an impartial jury of the county, and shall not be compelled to give evidence against himself. I conceive notwithstanding, that the constitution meant to entrust the judges with a reasonable power to commit for insults offered to them in open court, or in the execution of their office. It has been observed by some, that Mr. Oswald's is one of the cases where a citizen may be justly deprived of his liberty by the laws of the land without the intervention of a jury. I think it is not, because the constitution expressly declares, that in a criminal offence (among which is certainly a contempt of the court) a man shall have a trial by jury. The meaning probably in mentioning that a man might be deprived of his liberty by the laws of the land, was to acknowledge the legality of arresting and confining for debt. I think with

others, that those who framed the constitution had in their view the case of Wilkes in regard to general warrants, and in regard to his second expulsion from the house of commons, and the case of Bingley who was imprisoned and would not answer to interrogatories for a supposed contempt of the court made out of the court, and that they meant forever to prevent such arbitrary proceedings. I think that this is very dangerous doctrine of committing for contempt of court made out of court, where the men who commit are judges in their own cause, which is against a sound principle of law, and that if in this manner they can take ten pounds from us and imprison us for a month, they can take the last shilling from us & imprison us for ever. There surely is no reason no occasion for a summary proceeding in regard to a contempt made out of court, where a trial by jury may intervene, and the business of the court may not be interrupted. In the case of Mr. Oswald, the liberty of the press is also attacked, which we should defend with a most jealous care; this liberty is expressly given to us by our glorious constitution, a frame of government which is said to be the admiration of the impartial and enlightened politicians of Europe; and which, if it was well administered, would secure to us every political blessing. The constitution declares, that the printing presses shall be open for any one who undertakes to examine the proceedings of the legislature or any part of the government. If we have a right to converse with freedom the proceedings of the House of Assembly, we may examine the conduct of the judges who are but the creatures of that thing which we ourselves, as foreign citizens, have made.

* If any one will take up Hawkins's Pleas of the Crown, or the 4th volume of Blackstone, which treats of the Criminal Law, he will find that they rank a contempt of the court among criminal offences. [To be Continued.]
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, May 20.
THE plan of the new government about to be introduced in France, lays a Panian correspondent, was formed by M. de Lamouret, keeper of the seals, and directed by four eminent lawyers. The reform of the criminal code does him immortal honor. The clause which protects the execution of criminals is particularly applauded. Persons condemned, instead of suffering in a few hours, or at most a day or two, are now, by the new regulation, to be executed until a month after sentence has been passed. By this humane delay, such lights may be obtained as to occasion a reversal of the sentence; or some occurrences happen which may render an extension of mercy not improper.
Every species of torture, also, for the purpose of extorting criminal confessions from suspected persons, is abolished. The king has likewise ordered, that persons acquitted, who often, for want of money to have their acquittal properly announced, suffer unjustly in the opinion of the uninformed part of the world, shall have their innocence published at the Royal expense. The whole of these innovations and improvements make a very thick volume; and the white-washed vacation is prolonged, in order to give time to all persons concerned to examine fully the nature and tendencies of this new scheme of government.
M. d'Espresmenil, says the same correspondent, is suspected of having received intelligence from some of the printers, who worked night and day at Versailles on the new code, of the nature of the work they were employed on, by which means the projects of the court, much to their dissatisfaction, were prematurely disclosed; and consequently the Parliament enabled to prepare themselves for the occasion. M. de Montalambert is a young advocate, and so eminent in his profession, that it was the wish of every person engaged in a law suit to retain him as his counsel. The title of St. Margaret, where the former is confined, is beyond Mar-seilles; and Pierre Enize, the prison of the latter, is a castle at Lyons.
American Occurrences.
AUGUSTA, June 14, 1788.
ORDERED, That the commanding officers of the respective counties, do cause a return to be made of all depredations committed by the Indians since January 1787; notifying in columns the number of whites and blacks killed, and their ages, also the number wounded, together with all the different species of property plundered and destroyed; the same to be made on oath before one or more magistrates, and transmitted to this board without delay.
Ordered, That the same be published in the State Gazette.

PHILADELPHIA, July 21.
Extract from Lord CAMBDEN's Law Tracts.
"I wish to have government respectable, and my principal objection to the small-ware of ministry of the day is that they have no heads at all. The government and the laws I shall be against changing, being no friend to innovations, but a sincere friend to liberty. There can be no harm in attacking ministers; but, let the house of commons, the bulwark of the democratic part of the state, retain its dignity, prerogatives and independence, and let the laws be faithfully and boldly administered without refinements, or sophisticalions. One of the errors of the times has been the effort to diminish the reverence for Parliament, and for the courts of law, which tend to nothing but to arbitrary power, and the governing without either, or to a general dissolution of the state to anarchy and mob. The remarks which I have freely made on the KING against Bear, and the King against Woodfall, are intended to check that strain of legal interpretation which retorts the public, and leads to a distrust of the uprightness of judicature, by introducing jesuitical casuistry, in lieu of plain, obvious, common sense. It will never
do if exercised by angels. Distrust will beget dislike, contempt, odium. Nothing can support penal judgments, where the freedom of the press is concerned, and liberty, or supposed liberty is at stake, but their being grounded on an express conviction (of the very crime charged) by a clear verdict of a jury. Constructive guilt, the creature of the bench, will not be endured. It will make the seat of justice shake under the judge who pronounces it, I venture to foretell."
The road from Pocono Port towards the New-York line is opened near 50 miles, so that only 17 miles remain to be opened, to complete a road from Philadelphia to the portage between Delaware and Susquehannah, at the New-York line, being about one hundred and fifty miles from south to north. The road from Tioga to the above road is opened for two thirds of the distance, and the whole will be completed in a very short time. Several settlements have already been made in the woods, on the line marked out for the course of the road before the contractors could have time to cut in the people of the adjacent states, finding they can get lands without an expensive and heart-breaking journey to remove thence, and that the country through which these roads pass will never be disturbed by the Indians.
July 28. By a gentleman from Kentucky, we learn, that a party of the Wabash Indians have lately attacked the continental troops stationed at Port St. Vincents, on the north side of the Ohio; and after a severe conflict, in which a number of soldiers were killed, the Indians were repulsed.
July 29. The Lacedemonians, observes a correspondent, having vanquished the Athenians—set over them 30 men to manage the republic; these first began to put to death, without trial, every bad man who was unpopular—the populace were pleased with this, and said, he met with his deserts—afterwards, when, by degrees wantonness grew up, they began to put to death without distinction the good and bad at pleasure.
On Friday last, at an ordination held in Christ Church, the Right Rev. William White, D. D. and Bishop of the Episcopal Church, admitted to the Holy Order of Deacons, the Rev. Mr. White, of South-Carolina, and on Sunday he was admitted into the Holy Order of Priests.
NEWPORT, July 21.
On Wednesday last, Mr. Philip Nalhey, stopping here on his passage from New-York to Providence, unexpectedly met with one of the crew named Anthony Atwood, belonging to the Schooner Le Briton, John Viol, master, and the very man who was ordered into the boat by said Viol, when he fired Mr. Nalhey to leave his ship at Porto Rico. Application was made to Christopher Elley, Esq. justice of the peace, who examined him, and he not only confirmed upon a solemn oath, the truth of the former publications by said Nalhey, in the several public papers; but likewise said, that said Viol intended to put Mr. Nalhey on shore on an uninhabited island but was refused assistance by the crew; that he saw Mr. Nalhey giving the money that was in the trunk to said Viol to purchase linen ware and cattle for a cargo to Cape Francois; that he often saw the two together after Mr. Nalhey was forced from the Schooner; and that he in a very inhuman manner neglected her child by leaving it on board among the sailors and a negro wench. This last, in particular, has been confirmed by gentlemen of veracity of this town and Providence, who were at the Cape the same time, and that she passed for a widow until she was discovered by Capt. Gramon, who offered her a passage to Providence, which she refused.
New-York, August 7.
To the PUBLIC.
IN last Thursday Journal the liberal patrons of this paper, and a respectable public, were informed, that the publication of a DAILY ceased on the 26th of June, and that THURSDAY's paper would be continued as before the introduction of the Daily Register. The Editor did not then choose to mention the reasons of this failure; but, since a variety of erroneous accounts have been circulated, he now conceives an impartial relation of facts absolutely indispensable, viz:
After returning home, late on Saturday evening, the 26th ult. I was informed, that the house had been repeatedly insulted during my absence, by the firing of guns into it, and exclamations of the most abusive nature. Having been treated thus in the early evening, and the street being then quiet, I was led to suppose, that no more outrage would be offered, and accordingly persuaded my family to retire to their several apartments, which they did, it being then past 12 o'clock; I, however, placed a pair of loaded pistols in an open closet in my chamber, next the street, and about one o'clock, being in a doze, I was alarmed with the sound of many voices, and a HALT before the house. I sprang from my bed, put on a few cloaths, and had seized my pistols, when there was a violent knocking at the door. I threw up the window and presented myself to the view of the people; saying, "gentlemen, what do you want;" to which the head of the party vociferated, "God damn him, brake down the door—by God, down with it, &c." at which the door was attacked, and large stones were thrown. Loudly told them, I should defend my house—adding, "gentlemen, I am armed." At this instant four of them, at the order of "brake in my boys," drove against the door with violence, which repulsed them, and others attacked the bow-window, the glass of which flew. I then reached out and fired in the midst of them, when they precipitately retreated a few rods, crying, "don't fire! I don't fire!" As their leader approached the second time with a large stone, in the position of throwing, I presented my second pistol at his breast, which flashed in the pan. I had no one to load as I discharged my pistols; and they, finding the fire ceased, rallied again, and broke into the shop. Having no further means of protection, I retreated, as they were breaking from the shop into the entry, abandoning to them the full range of my house and office, which they plundered of a quantity of types, leaving the office in a ruinous condition.
Fortunately a number of friends came, and followed the party in every stage of their tumultuous proceedings, who afforded the most ample evidence
of their conduct, and the identity of their persons. These gentlemen were respectable citizens, some of them federalists, who, I have no doubt, calmed the rage in some degree, and of course merit my grateful thanks.
These are facts which ought to alarm the citizens of New-York, for what dignified character, or characters, would willingly reside in a country, where, in violation of all law, the existence of an individual is unsafe, and his property exposed to incessant molestations. The sufferer, in the present instance, wishes to give the melancholy narration with calmness, at the same time disclaiming the unworthy idea of being awed by further threats of depredation of property, or even deprivation of life—for, of what value is that life which is dragged along at the mercy of a mob? He has the greatest confidence in the justice and candor of his fellow citizens, and flatters himself, that his conduct will meet the approbation of every liberal and dispassionate mind. The Editor conceives, that the publication of the paragraphs in the Register of the 24th July, was not the sole reason of the late unwarrantable proceedings; but that it was intended, by some artful and designing persons, to ruin him with the public, and thereby destroy the usefulness of his paper as a free and impartial one. Further to inflame the minds of the community, it was industriously reported, that a HAND BILL, calculated to burlesque the citizens, had been printed in this office. [Whether such a bill was printed or not is yet a matter of doubt to many; if that was the case, this office never produced it; and it must be inferred, that an enemy had done it to ABET the mischief which afterwards took place.] These produced an enthusiastic spirit of revenge against the printer, who is acknowledged to be guilty of no other crime than that of having ACTED THE PART OF AN INDEPENDENT CITIZEN, by admitting political pieces into his paper, which were opposed to the general sentiments of the inhabitants of this city, upon the momentous subject of the new constitution. This freedom, which we have been taught to distinguish as the FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, has hitherto been conceived the "PALLADIUM OF LIBERTY," in America; and, thanks to the patriotism of her sons, it has not yet been interdicted—when that period arrives, which avenging genius of liberty, farewell to all political virtue—farewell to justice. It is a happy reflection, that we live in an age of political distinction; an age in which the knowledge or government is universally diffused—wanting nothing but a renovation of public virtue and an energetic government—sufficiently checked for ensuring the safety of public liberty—to render us a happy and a respected people. From these reflections the printer is led to believe, that OUTRAGE will not be countenanced, nor the perpetrators suffered to go unpunished. He knows he has enemies but enemies which are so by delusion only—enemies which were made so by the artifice of designing men—slaves to passion, and resentment.
As an individual, the Printer conceives, that to espouse the cause of his country, of his life, and his property, are inherent and darling privileges—when these are gone—take, who will, the dastard life. Could he, who now respectfully addresses your justice—your humanity as brethren—on this alarming occasion—conceive that he had been guilty of any crime (from impendencies none are exempt) he would not even have attempted to defend his life, his house, or his property; but, on the contrary, have thrown himself into the arms of a deluded multitude—for, "the man who does not supremely detest a life of crimes is not fit to live!" Had there been crimes, the laws would have given redress.
The Editor was treated with the utmost politeness by the civil magistrates, to whom he applied for protection, which has been procrasinated by request. No one can suppose, but that the protection of the whole some laws of the state will be required, for the restitution of property, the loss of business, and other conspicuous damages, as a free and independent JURY, from law and evidence, may judge right. There are who menace with the idea of repeated mobs, and of the improbability of obtaining counsel to plead the cause of the injured, should a prosecution take place: not the innocent freeman, but I lives were made to fear, where impartial justice is the aim. When a Printer refuses to preserve his press FREE for all parties, rejects decent discussions upon important topics (which the Printer hereof never has, nor ever was desired to do) and voluntarily FETTERS it, then—if ever, in a republican country, jealous of her liberties—is the time to fear.
In the further prosecution of this Journal the Editor, agreeably to his proposal of 1786, will endeavour to observe a sacred regard to justice; anonymous facility of a private nature will always be rejected; literature, and the sciences, shall be patronized—agriculture, the home manufactures, and commerce, the three great pillars of our political constitutions, shall constantly be held to view—Christianity, patriotism, and every moral and political virtue, shall be inculcated—the earliest foreign and domestic intelligence shall be communicated—choice poetical and historical pieces, as well as curious tales and anecdotes, shall be occasionally inserted.—No pecuniary emolument shall ever deter the editor from sounding the alarm in times of public danger, or threats prevent him from adhering strictly to his motto, in "daring to accost even Kings themselves or rulers of the free," when, they are found—to be dangerous in office.
Farther SUBSCRIPTIONS, &c. are requested. On the respectable citizens in general, inhabiting a free country, does the Editor depend for support—and, while he can charge himself with no misdemeanor, he shall ever conceive such a dependence richly founded, especially so long as he can, with the most profound veneration, subscribe, The public's most obedient,
Humble Servant, THOMAS GREENLEAF.

Line of Eastern Stages.
THE Public are most respectfully informed, That, after great expense, fatigue, the subscriber, and company, have completed the line of STAGES from this city quite through to Boston. The carriages, which were before heavy and uneasy, are now all hung upon coach-springs, and do not fatigue more than a common coach. The carriage from hence to Fairfield, in particular, is a new, well-constructed, easy one, which will render the journey pleasurable, instead of a toil as heretofore.
Having thus completed the line, the subscriber will commence on Monday next, the 21st inst. to run the Stages from NEW-YORK to BOSTON, THREE TIMES A WEEK, and continue it until Nov. 1, from which to May 1 twice a week.
The extraordinary cost which he has been at in completing this great work, which he doubts not will be of no small public utility, as well as private advantage and convenience, he hopes will induce many to patronize him. Any business of consequence that may be wished to be transacted between these two capitals, shall be faithfully executed.
The Stages will start from the General Stage Office, in Cortlandt Street, on the Monday, Wednesday and Friday, of every week, at four o'clock, A. M. and will arrive at said place on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, at eight o'clock, P. M. The days and hours of starting and arriving at Hartford and Boston, are the same as at New-York.
The FARE is three-pence lawful money, or four-pence New-York currency, per mile; fourteen pounds of baggage is allowed gratis; one hundred and fifty pounds of baggage pays the same as a passenger, and in that proportion.

POET'S CORNER.
From the CHRONICLE OF FREEDOM, On the LOSS of LIBERTY.
B LEST Liberty, that came from Heav'n, To smooth the way of life more even, And sooth the broken heart: In feeble brains on the Lark, And blend my wounded soul with all, Who feel the reeking smart. When British bands with hostile stride, In dead array, cross'd oceans tide, Tyranny to invade; America her sons did call, Who struggled to prevent thy fall, But now—thou art betray'd! Injurd alas! where wilt thou fly, The extensive globe, what part to try, To find a resting place? Where wilt thou range—what course explore? And shall we never see thee more? And wilt thou hide thy face? "Ungrateful men," the goddess saith, "When honor's ties, and public faith, Are subjects of a jest— My last resort on earth was here, But ah! too late you urge your prayer, I vow and do protest. Expect no more on you I'll smile, And when you've suffer'd for a while To see my face again— You've figur'd the deed of Slavery! And transfer'd that which ye held free, And never will regain." These words the angry goddess spoke; "My peace on earth I do revoke." Hence pe're herself doth fly! The trumpet's sound we next shall hear, And fee. embattled hosts prepare, To conquer! or to die!

The whole of the place contains about thirty-four or five acres, twelve of which are Wood-Land; the land has been well manured with ashes; the whole of the Land enclosed with a new substantial fence.
