RICHMOND, March 19.  Delegates chosen to serve in the State Convention, to be held in June next. David Patterson and Stephen Pankey, Esqrs. Chesterfield. John S. Woodcock and Elliot White, Esqrs. Frederick. Nathaniel Burwell and Robert Andrews, Esqrs. James City. William Thornton and Burdit Aston, Esqrs. King George. William Clayton and Burwell Bassett, Esqrs. New Kent. Theodorick Bland and Edmund Ruffin, Esqrs. Prince George. George Mason and Andrew Buchanan, Esqrs. Stafford. Warner Lewis and Thomas Smith, Esqrs. Gloucester. Andrew Moore and William M'Kie, Esqrs. Rockbridge. William Peachey and Walter Tomlin, Esqrs. Richmond County. George Nicholas and Wilson Nicholas, Esqrs. Albermarle. Edmund Pendleton and James Taylor, Esqrs. Caroline.

Leven Powell and Stephen T. Mason, Esqrs. Loudoun.
Out of all the Members as yet returned to the Convention, there are only three or four against the Constitution; and it is the general opinion, that there will scarcely be found ten men in the whole State, who, when they meet here in June, will be hardly enough to set their opinions in competition with those of all the great and good patriots in America, and thus suffer themselves to be branded with the odious and disgraceful appellation of Antifederalists .
Those are to be accounted such, who talk of amendments before the adoption of the Constitution. The true friends to union, that is, to liberty, happiness and national glory, are those who wish to go hand in hand with Massachusetts; adopt the Constitution as they have done; and then propose such amendments as may be thought necessary. By uniting with her, we shall, as the two largest States in the Union, be sure to accomplish every just, honorable and impartial amendment. But if we pull one way and Massachusetts another, both of us may lose what each may have in view.
Six States have adopted the New Constitution, and those, in which are included, after our own, the two largest States in the Union, already make a majority of the free people of America.
It is somewhat remarkable, that all who are real friends to the Union, and who act honestly and openly, take great pains to remove the groundless prejudices which prevail among the people, by distributing copies of the new Constitution; whilst, on the other hand, those who are in their own hearts against a Union; that is, those who talk of amendments before ratification, endeavor to keep the people in the dark , by telling them what the Constitution is, without showing them what it is, or giving it to them to read and judge for themselves. All their little artifices and low cunning, all their misconstructions and misrepresentations, may serve to confirm the obdurate, and to deceive the ignorant: but the honest and well meaning, with only common understandings, see through their designs, and despise them for their wickedness. It will be fortunate for them if the resentment of the people should terminate in contempt alone. When they have been misled, it will be but a small consolation to them to be told by those who have deceived them, that they thought so and so .

Flour has been offered, at a credit, for five dollars a barrel, and other articles of American produce are as low."

From the Pennsylvania Gazette.
Messrs. Hall and Sellers, THE original letters I send you for publication, and which will be left in your hands for inspection, afford one proof amongst a thousand, that the indefatigable Monitor, THE CENTINEL, is endowed with a zeal and activity in every work of mischief always commensurate with its extent; for who but himself, to serve any cause whatever, would condescend to a correspondence with one of the sourest, narrowest, and most illiterate creatures in the State.

Philadelphia, 7th March, 1788.
DEAR SIR, LAST Tuesday the post from New-England brought sad tidings for some folks here. The Convention of New-Hampshire, it seems, by 70 against, and 40 for, have adjourned till 27th June. Had the final adjournment of the new system been put, it would have been rejected by a great majority. The friends of it, therefore, to let it fall easily, proposed the adjournment, and the others gave way. This disaster we consider as fatal to the business. So do its advocates here, and they are in the dumps, and some of the Members of the General Convention are apologizing for their conduct. Before this news came, the party was up in the skies, as their behavior seemed to express. Yet their success at Boston was so moderated by the propositions for amendment, which, however superficial, broke the sanctity of the new Constitution. Besides, the President of the Boston Convention, Hancock, has written to our Assembly, sending their doings and the amendments, and desiring, that this State would adopt similar amendments.—On the whole, as New-York is not likely to concur; nor Virginia, tho' General W. lives there; nor Rhode-Island; and as N. Carolina Convention meets not till 17th July, and will be much swayed by Virginia; as Maryland is much divided, if not on the whole against; I have no doubt there will be another General Convention. Georgia acceded to it, because pressed by an Indian war, and wanted aid immediately.
Failing, the conspirators against equal liberty will have much deceit and wicked conduct to answer for. They have seduced the post-officers to stop all newspapers from State to State, that contained investigations of their plan, so that the dissent of the minority of Pennsylvania did not get to Boston before their Convention rose. Every little town furnished a flaming account, like those of Carlisle, Bethlehem, &c. asserting how much the people of their place and neighborhood approved the new plan. These were circulated and re-printed from Georgia to New-Hampshire, with parade. This deceived the people into a notion that there was a general approbation. In Virginia, at this moment, from the suppression of intelligence and by false letters, it is generally supposed that the opposition in Pennsylvania had vanished; and at Boston, the news of the disturbances at Carlisle reaching Boston, before the Convention there rose, the whole was confidently denied. As the Convention of Massachusetts was finishing, a vessel is made to arrive at a port 15 miles off, with account that N. Carolina had adopted, tho' that Convention sits not
before July. Again, as the Convention of New-Hampshire was near finishing, this falsehood is newly published at Newport in Rhode-Island, and another vessel pretended, to seduce another adoption. These are but a specimen of these arts and inventions. But a lying tongue is but for a moment. The people every where will see and feel their frauds. Yet these are generally the doings of the first men in many of the States. I say nothing of the fraud of calling Conventions hastily in all the New-England States, save Rhode-Island, which has called none, in New-Jersey, in Pennsylvania and Delaware. In the southern States (all except Georgia) the calls of Conventions have been deliberate and distant; so in New-York. I am glad of the prospect we have, because it will prevent the danger of confusion and bloodshed. For if nine States have been nominally led into the plan, while the body of the people in many of them were still adverse, civil war must have ensued, as the conspirators would have endeavored to set their scheme in motion, without funds to support the necessary standing army. This danger now seems to be over for which we ought to be thankful.
In Cumberland county all are against it, except a small group in Carlisle, and a few, very few, scattered in the country. This small group, in October, met and censured their country representatives for attempting the breaking up of the late General Assembly, to prevent the calling of the people of every county east of Bedford to elect Convention in nine or ten days; with other matters favoring the new plan. These were paraded in the Carlisle Gazette as the sense of the people, and by the party published here and elsewhere. The county resented it, and warned these men not to repeat the artifice. Yet on the 25th December the same people attempted to rejoice on occasion of the adoption by the Convention of Pennsylvania. They were hindered: some blows ensued. Next day the same men, armed, made another essay; they were over-powered, and the effigies of two leading members of Convention were burned in contempt. Upon this, a letter with many affidavits was dispatched to Mr. M'Kean, pressing his warrants for 20 persons, charged with riots; among others Justice Jordan. The business being irksome, Mr. M'Kean, alledging it was indelicate for him to act where he was ill used, persuaded Mr. Atlee, and labored me to send up our warrant. I represented the danger of risking insult to our precept, advising delay, and the rather, as no hasty steps had been taken to bring the city rioters to justice. Mr. A. and Mr. Rush sent up their warrant. It lay some time in Carlisle, unexecuted, to bring the accused to submit and ask pardon. Nothing being done however, in this way, about 26th of February the sheriff was set to work. Eight or nine refusing to give bail, they were imprisoned. By the last accounts from Harrisburg, large numbers were assembled, from York and Dauphin, as well as Cumberland, to set the prisoners at large. This gives much uneasiness to the Conspirators here. Even the Chief Justice, 'tis said, had before the news came consented to drop the prosecution, as the members of Council feared the event. But he wrote to Mr. Atlee too late, if he has written. We hope no further mischief will ensue; tho' the Conspirators in Carlisle told Mr. M'Kean in their letter, they feared that their dwellings would be pulled down. Here, in October, we were forced to hold our tongues, least well dressed ruffians should fall upon us. At this day the case is otherwise. Yet many are still silent, lest, the new plan being adopted, they might hereafter be ruined for opposing. Since it was commonly safe from immediate attack, some of us have been opened and avowed, and risked all the malice of these men. The common people are latterly to much of our opinions to hurt us. Indeed none but gentlemen mobs have been active in Philadelphia.
In Montgomery, the current of the country is against the plan, the friends of it are silent; Berks very few, who favor it; the same in Dauphin. In the town of Lancaster there is a party, but few elsewhere in the county. In York, the opposers are very numerous. In Franklin they are the great body of the people. In Bedford, and in the over-hill counties very few are for it. Of Northumberland I can say little. Our friends in Bucks and Chester are much encreased. The Quakers are changed generally. The solid Quakers here, greatly dislike it; but they do not intermeddle. Their young people favor it; and in this city, Baltimore, New-York, Boston, &c. there is a majority for it; most so in Boston. SHAYS' insurrection has been made a great engine of terror, to dispose the people of that country to receive chains, if the Western countries can be kept down. Shays and his adherents were routed to what they did, by excessive taxes; perhaps contrived to dispose the New-England States to receive the new system, to which they would otherwise be averse.
Since writing the foregoing, we have ac-
counts from Carlisle, that about 1000 armed men appeared there, and demanding of the Sheriff to open the prison, set at liberty the persons charged as rioters, and burned the commitment. The inhabitants of the town, in the mean while, kept close within their houses, and the armed men soon went away without doing any thing further. Mr. James Hanna, a constitutionalist, attorney at law at Newtown, was this day very unexpectedly chosen to succeed Colonel Hart, as recorder of deeds and register of wills of Bucks' County. Mr. Dubois, nephew of Mr. Henry Wynkoop, was a competitor, yet, to the surprize of every body, and astonishment of Gerardus Wynkoop, Hanna had 36 votes, and Mr. Dubois but 26. Mr. Irwin, son of Arthur Irwin, of Tinicum, in Bucks' County, had 5 votes.
The peculiar reason why the party for the new Constitution is large here, is the supreme influence of the Bank, the weight of Mr. Morris, the bankrupt and dependent state of the traders generally, the hopes that by giving large powers to Congress, no foreign ship will be allowed to carry off the rice, tobacco, flour, &c. but it shall be limited to American bottoms. These, and a vain delusion, that present distress, caused by too large use and consumption of foreign goods, and the consequent shipping off of specie, would be relieved. At Boston all ranks have been taught to believe it would be a cure for every sore; so infatuated are the inhabitants.
The Assembly is not doing much. A short session is talked of. A day has been spent on the subject of Wyoming, but to no purpose. R. Morris is absent in Virginia. He has been there for some months. Our river is yet shut, but this cannot last above a day or two.
I am, Dear Sir, Your very humble Servant, GEO. BRYAN.

This day is published, By S. and R. CAMPBELL, No. 44, Hanover-square, and T. ALLEN, No. 16, Queen-street,  The American Songster: Being a select Collection of the most celebrated American, English, Scotch and Irish Songs. "Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, "To soften rocks, and bend the knotted oak." Virg. Price, neatly bound and lettered, Five Shillings.
To the Lovers of Music in the United States of America.
Ladies and Gentlemen, IT has been a subject of considerable regret, that a Collection of the best Modern Songs, not only the production of America, but likewise those of Britain has never before appeared on this continent. To remedy which, the Editors have been at considerable labor in collecting from the most esteemed Song Books, published in Europe, a compilation, suitable in some degree to this country. To this collection the Fair Americans may safely have recourse, without the fear of a blu upon their cheeks, or offending the most rigid virtue; nor can the gentlemen be more pleased by the particular attention shown to the Ladies than by the compliment we pay to their good sense, in avoiding all manner of indecent things and double entendres. Here will be found a number of original songs, the production of the American Muse: we are only sorry it has not been in our power to collect a greater number of these at the present time. But providing the present volume meets with encouragement from the Public, the Editors have it in contemplation to publish a second, when they flatter themselves they will be able to exhibit most of the principal songs wrote in the United States. However, if in this collection we have put a cheerful and entertaining companion into the hands of the Ladies and Gentlemen of America, we trust, on their part, they will encourage the rising arts of their native country, which will particularly oblige their very humble Servants, The PUBLISHERS.

SLENDER, Will cover for the Season at Sans-ouci, Col. White's Farm, 6 miles from New-York on the East-River, at Ten Dollars, and a Dollar to the groom, the money to be paid before the mares are covered. Slender covered last season in Sa- vannah, Georgia, at Twenty Guineas, but as his owner wishes to give an opportunity to those that are desirous of owning him, has advertised him at only Ten Dollars.
Slender is a fine bay, 15 hands 3 inches & 1-2 high, his blood, make, activity, movements, strength and speed are superior to any horse ever imported from England. He was bred by the Duke of Queen- berry, who took three purges with him at New-Mar- ket, and one at Stockbridge, as appears by the sport- ing calendars of 1782 and 1783. Slender, when 3 years old, at New-Market, the second Spring meet- ing, 1782, and at the July meeting following, took both purges, and beat 25 of the first colts then in England, which are mentioned in the racing cal- endars as follows: Duke of Grafton's Peers; Mrs. Stevenson's Laurel; Mr. Vernon's Virgin; Mr. Pultney's Straight-leg; Sir John Lade's Maypole; Mr. Panton's bay colt got by Herod; Mr. Tatter- fall's bay filly got by Eclipse; Mr. Parker's chest- nut colt got by Juniper; Duke of Northumberland's chestnut colt got by his Arabian; Lord Egremont's bay filly got by Herod; Lord Clermont's bay filly got by Mark Anthony; Lord Grosvenor's chestnut colt got by Sweetbriar; and Mr. Golding's chestnut colt got by Sweetbriar, were the thirteen that run for the first purge. The twelve that started for the second purge with Slender were Lord Offory's Cox- comb; Mr. Coling's Gilliflower; His Royal High- ness the Duke of Cumberland's Apollo; Lord Egremont's Countess; Mr. Pultney's Straight legs; Duke of Grafton's Harling; Lord Clermont's Cat; Mr. Pe- gott's Maypole; Mr. Vernon's chestnut gelding got by Eclipse; Sir Chas. Bunbury's bay filly got by Alexis; Lord Grosvenor's chestnut colt got by Sweet William, and Mr. Tatterfall's filly got by Metaphysician. At New-Market, the first Spring meeting 1783, Slender, at 4 years old, took the purge, and beat Lord Derby's Oliver Cromwell, Mr. Napier's Gamble, and Lord Grosvenor's Tacer; and at Stockbridge, the July following, he took the purge, and beat Mr. Delly's remarkable noted running horse Slasher. Slender is full brother to High-Flier, now thought one of the first horses in England. Slender was got by Herod, who was the sire of ninety-three running horses, in the years 1782 and 1783, 32 in number more than those got by the great Eclipse that ran in the same years, and Herod's colts have generally been superior to Eclipse's whenever they appeared on the turf together, which is declared in the racing calendars. Slender's dam was got by Blank, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Blank is full brother to the famous Old England, and got Pay- master, Paoli, Centinel, Cyclops, Ghost, Common- dore Brag, Dizzy, Granby, Juniper, and Cyrus, all of which were noted running horses, and won pur- ges at New-Market. Slender's grandam was got by Regulus, who was got by the Godolphin Arabian; Regulus is the sire of Mils Cleveland, who is the dam of that well known son of Old Snap, Tagger- gill; he is also the sire of Tandem's dam, who, when lame, beat Fame, Bridget, Wicham, and the Rocket gelding; the late Mr. Shafto refused 1800 guineas for Tandem, when he was rising five years old. Slender's grandam was also a daughter of Sore Heels, which mare was the dam of Matilda, South, and Danbay Cade, a daughter of Makeless, and was Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of Hartley's blind horse. Matilda was got by the Godolphin Arabian, and was judged superior to any horse ever bred in England, for size, strength, and beauty. Hartley's blind horse is too well known to all sportsmen, and is too often mentioned in the racing calendars to need a description. It is suf- ficient to say he got the dam of Babraham. Matilda was the sire of Sir Ralph Milbank's famous black mare, the dam of several high formed racers, and esteemed the best bred mare in England. Sore Heels was got by Balto, the highest bred son of the Byerly Turk, and was own brother to Little Sear, and bro- ther to the dam of Bay Mott, Old Crab, Black Legs, Second and Snipe; his dam was got by the Carwin's Bay Barb, and was the dam of Old Partner, and full sister to Roxbury Galloway. Slender's pedigree is signed by the Duke of Queen- berry, and attested by RICH. TATTERSALL.
NABOB, WILL cover Mares, for the season, at Sans- Souci, at Four Dollars, and half a Dollar to the Groom, the money to be paid before the Mares are covered.
NABOB is a beautiful black, six years old, fifteen hands high; he was got by Frederick, a full- blood hunter, his dam by Figure, his grandam by Old Britain, his great dam by a Chickasaw horse, brought from the Station; he is in perfect health--- in full toned virility, possessed of instinct, and with all, a genuine spirit.
The above horses may be seen at Sans Souci, six miles from New-York, with their original pedi- grees, certificates, &c. &c. &c.
TAMERLANE WILL cover Mares for the season, at Col. An- thony W. White's farm, the Cool Spring Cottage, one mile and a half from the City of New- Brunswick, for FIVE DOLLARS the season, any kind of country produce, sheep, calves or hogs, that Mr. John D. Alvay, will certify is worth that sum, but his certificate must be produced, before the Mares are covered, that he has received the Five Dollars, or what is equal in value to the same.
TAMERLANE is a bright bay, fifteen hands; three inches and a half high; his great strength strikes the eye at once, from the uncommon depth and slope of his shoulders, the breadth of his quarter, his length of barrel, and the shortness of his back; he is free from all natural blemishes; his pedigree has been to often published, that it is needless to insert it at present; his purity of blood is equal to any horse bred in this country; he is a remarkable fine horse, most of the mares he covered in New-Jersey, proved in foal, and a great number of those covered by him in New-York; his colts in general, are al- lowed to be the largest, and best, ever foaled in this country; those of his get, at the Southward, have been tried, when on the turf behaved well, they an- swered to the whip, and had both bottom and speed.
They are to be sold after the season for covering is over. Any person wishing to purchase, may know the terms by applying to Col. John Bayard, Phila- delphia; William Paterson, Esq. New-Brunswick; William Popham, Esq. at New-York, or to Col. Anthony W. White, at Sans Souci. Good pasture will be provided at each stand of the abovementioned horses, by their grooms, at the usual rate; but the mares must be at the risk of the owner. March 17.
