AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF LETTERS FROM THE FEDERAL FARMER TO THE REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

STAGES,
Owned by Cumming & Ward, at Newark, and by Michael Dennison, in Philadelphia, RESPECTFULLY inform their friends and the public, that their Stages leave Powles-Hook every afternoon (except Saturday) at 4, on their route for Philadelphia, proceed by Newark to Elizabeth Town that evening—Leave Elizabeth Town, and Michael Dennison’s, George Inn, Philadelphia, at three o’clock every morning, except Sunday, and drive to Philadelphia and Powles-Hook that day.
On Monday the 21st of April an extra Stage will start for the accommodation of select parties, and those gentlemen and ladies who wish to indulge themselves in the morning, or who fear the bad effects of the early air. This stage will leave Powles-Hook at seven o’clock, and Philadelphia at eight o’clock every morning (except Saturday and Sunday) and proceed with the same speed as the early stage.
The expence of the stage to each passenger will be Three SpanishMilledDollars from Powles-Hook to Philadelphia, and Four-pence per mile for all way passengers. One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same as a passenger—Fourteen weight of baggage gratis.
The expedition, lowness of fare, and certainty of arrival, must convince the public, that this route is preferable to the Amboy, as the journey is performed in half the time.

New-York, Elizabeth Town, and Philadelphia
New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Powles-Hook, every afternoon, at 3 o’clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth-Town Point. From Mr. Crane’s, at Elizabeth-Town Point, the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway, Woodbridge, New-Brunswick, Princeton, Trenton, and Bristol, to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street, Philadelphia, in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way-passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile. No racing allowed in this line.

MISCELLANY.
From Thomas's MASSACHUSETTS SPY, &c. WORCESTER SPECULATOR.
— Absentem qui ridet Amicum; Que non defendit alio culpenre; hic niger est; Hunc tu, Americanus, caveto — HORACE.
AMONG the many prevailing vices of the present day, how fashionable is that of detraction! — In almost every conversation, whatever may be the characters of the company, we meet but with too frequent instances of it; and although a good reputation is dearer to us than any enjoyment, there is nothing more frequently assaulted. Persons of every description, however amiable their characters, or venerable their professions, are equally the objects of their malevolence. Those who are addicted to this vice not only presume to judge of actions, but determine even the very intentions of the heart; and however strange it may seem, the brightest innocence is frequently brought into suspicion, and truth itself is deformed into the image of falsehood; ill intentions are found where none are, harboured, and good ones will not be allowed where they really exist.
It may be a question whether this unmanly vice is more prevalent now than it was in former times. Tully informs us that its malignity was severely felt in his day, and from the writings of almost every author from that time to the present, and from our own daily observation and experience, it seems probable that it has not declined. Does a person appear a little more than commonly devout, he is hypocritical; does a young gentleman decline paying that attention to the fair sex, or refuse sacrificing at their shrine so frequently as many of our present peers do, they are morose, illbred, and ungentle; — does a young lady in any degree renounce the vanities of the world, or deviate from modest extravagances and follies, it will be industriously enquired what is the cause, and be imputed to humour, caprice or prudence. There are many who seem never better pleased than when exposing the imperfections of their neighbours; and there are not a few of the better sort, from whom we might expect this practice would be discountenanced, who frequently favour it, and make it so much the more cruel, as it is strengthened by their not disapproving smiles.
It seems difficult to determine, why this is so prevalent in the breasts of so many, unless we impute it to the infinite number of prepossessions and prejudices which we entertain against others, and the peculiar fondness and partiality we have for ourselves. Our natures, by reason of their depravity, however dignified on some accounts, ever had, and ever will have, a certain spleen, or spite, which prompts us assiduously to exert ourselves to find out and expose the imperfections of others; to glean with careful hand their faults or their foibles — enviously to express, and by the repetition of those expressions, deeply to record, in the minds of all the hearers, the follies, without all wing the merit, or exhibiting the beauties of any good action.
It is an observation worthy our attention, that those who are the most forward to indulge this propensity to censure, seldom if ever discern in any great degree their own imperfections: While the mote in their
brother's eye is clearly seen, the beam in their own is not even thought of; as if perfect in themselves, they attempt to discover and expose the blemishes of others; not considering that some of them might at least be palliated and even excused, did they but exercise towards them the least spark of the amiable grace and virtue of charity, but on the contrary, the malevolence of their dispositions, the rancour of their malice, and the oratory of their ill will, are all exerted, to blacken errors scarcely committed, even in idea, and convert them into crimes of the deepest dye; and it matters not, though at the expence of virtue itself. Do they hear of a supposed inadvertency, even in a friend, how pleasingly do they whisper it about to others, and they to a new circle, until by the frequency of the repetition, an impression of the certainty is made even in their own minds. Did they once conceive how easily the fairest reputation may be injured — that a word which has once been spoken to the disparage of another, can neither be recalled or annihilated — that they cannot take off the bad impressions which have been made by an unfavourable suggestion, when once it has found access to the temple of fame, I should blush for the depravity of human nature, if this vice was not wholly discarded. Can they themselves expect to be justified for this unmanly conduct, by others? Should the world suppose the one ill spoken of to be guilty, the speaker will never be judged innocent, but will be detested and despised. Such a conduct is as disgraceful as it is inhuman: was it for this the allwise Creator gave us wisdom and understanding; most certainly we were not made thus to destroy each other.
The vice of calumniating others, was considered of so infamous a nature in the days of ancient Rome, that although their laws admitted but of few capital punishments this was punished with death; and many eminent writers have ranked it with murders and assassinations, from this principle, that as reputation is esteemed by an honest man dearer than life, so those who would privily and maliciously assault one, would take the other, could it be done with the like impunity. Since then by this the honor of families and individuals are frequently ruined: the fairest reputations exposed — the noblest characters blasted: since it tends to the subversion of truth and humanity — let us carefully avoid such a conduct, and treat with contempt the ungenerous wretch who dares to practice it.
This practice would not be so much indulged, was that divine command, "do to others, as you would they should to you," carefully attended to, as we should then judge of the feeling and sentiments of others, by our own, and not think of hiding our own by discovering the faults of others. If we have not a sufficient stimulus, from benevolence, to hate this vice, let it be excited by self love — let us judge of the sensibility of others, whom we thus wound in the most tender part, by our own feelings; and knowing and feeling how disagreeable it is to be evil spoken of, let us learn to refrain from speaking ill of others.

General Gadsden moved an adjournment until to-morrow at 9 o'clock, then to take up the question for ratifying the new constitution.
Mr. E. Rutledge proposed that a committee should be appointed to consider what recommendations for alterations were necessary to be proposed. He was supported by Mr. Pringle, who declared, that he thought a few points were liable to objections.
When the numbers were declared, the spectators, in the gallery, and behind the bar, testified their satisfaction by loud marks of applause, which occasioned an order for the house being cleared.
Judge Pendleton made a handsome excuse for the intemperate conduct of the spectators, which he considered as arising from a patriotic fervor in those persons who considered a point to be carried was for the benefit of their country. The honourable judge praised the conduct of Massachusetts state where, although the constitution passed by a small majority, yet after the decision both parties united, an example which he hoped we should follow, and join in the bands of brotherly friendship.
May 26.
In Convention of the people of South-Carolina, by their representatives, held in the city of Charleston, on Monday, the 14th day of May and continued by divers adjournments to Friday, the 23d day of May, Anno Domini, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, and in the twelfth year of the independence of the United States of America;
The Convention having maturely considered the Constitution, or form of government reported to Congress by the convention of delegates from the United States of America, and submitted to them by a resolution of the legislature of this state, passed the seventeenth and eighteenth days of February last, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to the people of the said United States and their posterity; Do in the name and behalf of the people of this state, hereby assent to, and ratify the said Constitution.
Done in Convention the twenty third day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight and of the independence of the United States of America, the twelfth.
Thomas Pinckney, President, (L. S.) Attest John S. Dart, Secretary, (L. S.)
And whereas, it is essential to the preservation of the rights reserved to the several states and the freedom of the people under the operations of a general government, that the right of prescribing the manner, time and places of holding elections to the federal legislature, should be for ever inseparably annexed to the sovereignty of the several states; This Convention doth declare, that the same ought to remain to all posterity a perpetual and fundamental right in the local, exclusive of the interference of the general government, except in cases where the legislatures of the states shall refuse or neglect to perform and fulfil the same, according to the tenor of the said constitution.
This convention doth also declare, that no section or paragraph of the said constitution warrants a construction that the states do not retain every power not expressly relinquished by them and vested in the general government of the union.
Resolved, That the general government of the United States ought never to impose direct taxes, but, where the monies arising from the duties, imposts and excise are insufficient for the public exigencies; nor then, until Congress shall have made a requisition, upon the states to assess levy and pay their respective proportions of such requisitions; and in case 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 interest thereon, at the rate of six per cent per annum, from the time of payment prescribed by such requisition.
Resolved, That the 3d section of the 6th article ought to be amended, by inserting the word other between the words no and religious.
Resolved, That it be a standing instruction to all such delegates as may hereafter be elected to represent this state in the general government, to exert their utmost abilities and influence to effect an alteration of the constitution, conformably to the foregoing resolutions.
Done in Convention, the 23d day of May, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the twelfth.

The following is the ANTI-FEDERAL, unsuccessful TICKET of the City and County of New-York—Published this day by the request of our correspondent Q. The FEDERAL, successful TICKET, see Thursday's Journal.
His Exc. Gov. CLINTON, 134 votes. MARRINUS WILLET, 108 do. WILLIAM DENNING, 102 do. We are told, that the remaining candidates had no more than 30 votes each.
MEMBERS OF ASSEMBLY, For Orange County, ANTI-FEDERAL. Col. Henry Wisner, Jeremiah Clark, John Carpenter. MEMBERS OF ASSEMBLY, For King's County, FEDERAL. Aquila Giles, Peter Vandervoort.
Peter Talman and James Post, Esquires, having an equal number of votes, the county loses a representative this year.
We are informed, that the republican anti-federal ticket for Members of Assembly in Washington county has prevailed, and that Alexander Webster, Joseph McCracken, Edward Savage and Peter B. Tierse, Esquires are elected. We have not yet heard who are chosen in the convention for that county, but it is supposed that the anti-federal ticket will be carried by a respectable majority.
A gentleman who lately travelled through New-England, informs us, that the amount of Pot-ash exported from the state of Massachusetts last year was 300,000 dollars. In all their towns persons are employed, with waggons of a suitable construction for the purpose, to go through the neighbourhood, and to buy up all the ashes of the country, which are conveyed to the manufactories, and there made to yield their salt. By this practice the ashes of every farm-house (which were formerly useless) become profitable to the farmer and to the state. In New-York, the exportation of Pot-ash last year amounted to eighty thousand pounds. (Phil. pap.)

Dedication of Washington College. Chester, Easter Shore of Maryland. THIS large, commodious and elegant Edifice being now, by divine assistance, so far completed as to be read for the reception of the Scholars, Students, Professors and masters—Notice is hereby given to its numerous and illustrious benefactors, and to the public in general, that Tuesday the 17th of June is appointed for the opening and dedication thereof to the great and useful purposes of its institution and erection;
In the Order following; Tuesday, June 17th, 10 o'clock, A. M. I.—Procession, viz. the corporation of visitors and governors, preceded by the scholars, students, masters, professors, &c. from the present temporary schools to the new edifice. II.—11 o'clock, dedication, prayers and sermon. III.—Dedictory oration. IV.—The examination of the several scholars, with occasional orations, in the several classes. Wednesday, 18th.
A commencement for degrees in the arts, &c. will be held, with the usual collegiate exercises; and for the evening of each day (with the permission and approbation of the faculty of professors, &c.)
the students are preparing to exhibit the Tragedy of Cato, the Battle of Hastings, and some other truly chaste and instructive dramatic pieces, replete with sentiments of liberty, heroism and public virtue: It is also proposed to accompany the whole with a band of proper music.
All the students who have received any part of their education in this college, and especially those who have taken, or are now entitled to take, any degree in the same, and can spare time for attending on this occasion, are requested to be at Chester, early enough to join in the procession on Tuesday the 17th; and those who may have prepared themselves to take any part in the public exercises, are desired to be in town a few days before that time.
** The Printers, in the adjoining or neighbouring states, as the friends of letters, are requested to insert the above in their several news-papers.
WILLIAM SMITH, Principal of Washington College, and President of the Corporation of visitors and governors—of the same.
MR. GREENLEAF, ONE of your subscribers has undoubtedly an equal right with the impertinent Mr. Q. to be gratified; therefore, I call on you to favour the public with the whole of the Anti-Federal ticket from Albany county, together, as I think one of that respectful nomination (who has very near double the number of votes for convention, than the highest number of the Federal ticket, for the city and county of New-York amounts to) very much disgraced in having his name placed at the bottom of the Federal ticket in your paper of yesterday. The situation is rather degrading as no real patriot can possibly acquire either credit or reputation by being connected with those, who, at this crisis, little deserve the well-born. You may also assure the public (notwithstanding Mr. Q.'s assertion) that only one of the members for convention from Richmond county is federal, and even that one declares himself open to conviction, which by the by is not the character of a fed. R. New-York, June 6th 1788.
The above shall be inserted on Monday next.
By the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, May 8, 1788.
ON a report of the board of treasury, to whom was referred a motion, of Mr. Carrington.
Resolved, That Congress proceed to the election of two commissioners for settling the accounts of the five great departments, to continue in office one year.
Ordered, That the commissioners of accounts for the quarter-masters, commissary's, hospital, marine and cloathing departments, with the appropriation of the board of treasury, commence suits in behalf of the United States, against all persons in any of the said departments, who stand chargeable with public monies, computed from the present date; and that this order be published in the several states for the period above mentioned.
Resolved, That the said commissioners be directed to continue their unremitting attention to the final adjustment of all accounts which have arisen in the said departments, and to the recovery of all sums for which suits may be commenced; and that at the termination of their commission, they deposit with the register of the treasury all the books and papers of their respective offices, together with a general abstract of the sums due from individuals, in order that immediate measures may be adopted for the recovery of the same. CHARLES THOMPSON, Sec.

American Printed Books.
This Day is published, and to be Sold, By ROBERT HODGE, No. 237, the Corner of King & Queen-Street, The Miscellaneous Works
OF PHILIP FRENEAU.
Containing his Essays and additional Poems. THIS second Volume of the American Author, is replete with the highest sentimental entertainment. Humour, wit, and satire, flow in copious streams.—It requires only to be read to be admired.
Such gentlemen, in this city and state, as honored this vol. with their subscriptions, will be pleased to send for it as soon as convenient.
THE MESSIAH,
Attempted from the GERMAN of Mr. KLOPSTOCK.
TO those who are acquainted with the merits of this work, little need be said to recommend it.—It is calculated to inspire every pious, every virtuous sentiment; to fill the mind with an awful reverence and love of the Great and incomprehensible GOD and FATHER, of all, with the sublime and most fervent gratitude to our gracious REDEEMER, and a perfect detestation and abhorrence, of all vice. In a word, it claims the patronage of ALL who do not blush at owning themselves Christians, and paying a humble obedience to the King of Kings.
This piece of religious and moral painting has obtained Mr. Klopstock the honor of being esteemed the Milton of Germany, and is considered as having completed what that favorite son of the British muse had left unfinished.—The beauties of the Messiah equal Paradise Lost:—Paradise Regained, though far from being a duplicate of merit, is universally allowed to fall much below this work, and is acknowledged to be deficient in that boundless invention, that beautiful machinery, and variety of characters, which distinguish the rigorous efforts of Mr. Klopstock's genius.
The Messiah is founded upon an extensive and important plan, and includes the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Christ.

POET'S CORNER.
EARLY RISING.
WIVES, awake! unroll your eyes, Sluggards no more yawning; See the Delphick god arise, Bright Apollo dawning. Husbands, rouse at love's alarms, Drowsy slumber's scorning; Rovers, quit your favourite charms, Up, behold this morning. Virgins fair, have at your hearts; Hymen's torch is flaming; Cupid whets his pointed darts, And look! the rogue is aiming. For the bud of beauty blows, Mellow sweets are pallid; Crowns with the virgin rose, And to prevent its falling. See the charms that nature yields; Why sleep away your day? Arise! the fragrance of the fields Is friendly to your beauty. Lads, for fame! abed till now! Forsake them, and be wiser; There's health and pleasure, you'll allow, In being an early riser. Bound with ivy, bound with vines, Youth serenely passes; Bacchus round our temples twines, And sparkles in our glasses. No longer drown the mind in sleep, But breathe the vernal air! Our hours may thus improvement reap, And who has any spare?

A Few MAPS,
Of the interior parts of North-America, including the lands intended for the NEW STATES, some of which are selling, and others already disposed of by order of Congress.
ORDERS are just received, by the printer here of, to sell these Maps at a much cheaper rate than they have yet been sold. The plates were cut and the impressions taken in London, and there sold (without the pamphlet) at One Guinea each.
To accompany this map, and explanatory of it, with references to it, will be sold, included in the price of the map, a pamphlet, containing 67 large octavo pages, with plates and figures, entitled, a Topographical Description of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and North-Carolina, comprehending the rivers Ohio, Kenhawa, Sioto, Cherokee, Wabash, Illinois, Mississippi, &c. The climate, soil, and produce, whether animal, vegetable, or mineral; the mountains, creeks, roads, distances, latitudes, &c. and of every part, laid down in the Map.
By THOMAS HUTCHINS, Esq. Late Captain and Engineer in the British army, and now Geographer General to the United States of America. With a plan of the rapids of the Ohio, a plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, a table of the distances between Fort Pit and the mouth of the Ohio, all engraved upon copper.—And an Appendix, containing Mr. Patrick Kennedy's Journal up the Illinois river, and a correct list of the different nations and tribes of Indians, with the number of fighting men, &c.
Description of the ILLINOIS COUNTRY. THE Illinois country is in general of a superior soil to any other part of North America that I have seen. It produces fine oak, hickory, cedar, mulberry trees, &c. Some dying roots and medicinal plants;—hops, and excellent wild grapes, and in the year 1760, one hundred and ten hogheads of strong wine, were made by the French settlers, from these grapes. A large quantity of sugar is also annually made from the juice of the maple tree; and as the mulberry trees are large and numerous, I presume the making of silk will employ the attention and industry of the settlers, when the country is more fully inhabited than it is at present, and especially as the winters are much more moderate and favourable for the breed of silk worms, than they are in many of the sea coast provinces. Indigo may likewise be successfully cultivated—(but not more than two cuttings in a year) wheat, peas, and Indian corn thrive well, as does every sort of grain and pulse, that is produced in any of the old colonies. Great quantities of tobacco are also yearly raised by the inhabitants of the Illinois, both for their own consumption and that of the Indians; but little has hitherto been exported to Europe. Hemp grows spontaneously, and is of a good texture; its common height is 10 feet, and its thickness three inches (the latter reckoned within about a foot of the root) and with little labour, any quantity may be cultivated. Flax seed has hitherto been only raised in small quantities. There has however been enough produced to shew, that it may be sown to the greatest advantage. Apples, pears, peaches, and all other European fruits succeed admirably. Iron, copper, and lead mines, as also salt springs, have been discovered in different parts of this territory. The two latter are worked on the Spanish side of the Mississippi, with considerable advantage to the owners. There is plenty of fish in the rivers, particularly Cat, Carp, and Perch, of an uncommon size.—Savannahs, or natural meadows, are both numerous and extensive; yielding excellent grass, and feeding great herds of buffalo, deer, &c. ducks, teal, geese, swans, cranes, pelicans, turkeys, pheasants, partridges, &c. such as are seen in the sea coast Colonies, are in the greatest variety and abundance.—In short, every thing, that a reasonable mind can desire, is to be found, or may, with little pains, be produced here.
