General Pinckney was appointed by the Cincinnati Society, to deliver an Oration on their next anniversary.

Previous to the adjournment of the late Convention, a proposition was made by Mr. Mason, that the minority should meet at the public buildings, and prepare an address to reconcile the minds of their constituents to the new form of government.
Accordingly a very full meeting was had, when to their surprise an address was offered for their signatures, tending rather to irritate than to quiet the public mind.
A number of that respectable body withdrew, others for some time either remained in silence, or in general terms recommended temper and moderation; till at length, Benjamin Harrison, Esq. of Charles City, rose, and in a firm and manly style opposed not only the address which had been read, but earnestly recommended an adjournment...

N E W - Y O R K, July 21.
The anniversary of our national birth-day has this year been celebrated with most distinguished marks of federal felicity. By the various toasts given, one sentiment pervades the whole—and that sentiment does honor to our country; it is the sentiment of union, fraternal love and friendship.
Hail, INDEPENDENCE, hail! Heaven's next best gift
To that of life and an immortal soul! The life of life! that to the banquet high And sober meal, gives taste; to the bow'd roof, Fair-dream'd repose; and to the cottage charms.
In our our Convention, on Wednesday last, the 16th inst. the Hon. Judge Hobart, seconded by his Worship the Mayor of New-York, made the following motion, after having prefaced it with an excellent speech:
WHEREAS since the time of electing the Delegates now in Convention assembled, the Constitution submitted to their consideration has been so far ratified as to become a system of government for ten of the United States, and the necessary measures are now pursuing for organizing and carrying the same into operation.
Therefore, Resolved, That this Convention do adjourn, until the — day of — next, then to meet at —
This motion engaged the attention of the House
The next day, (Thursday) previous to taking the question on this motion, Mr. Hamilton made another display of those great abilities for which he is justly distinguished; he was powerful in his reasoning, and so persuasively eloquent, and pathetic, that he drew tears from most of the audience.
When he sat down, the question was called for, and the division of the House was as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Affirmative, Negative. Lists names of delegates and their votes.
Table with 2 columns: Affirmative, Negative. Lists names of delegates and their votes.
Affirmative 22 Negative 20 Majority 18
The Convention then went into a Committee of the whole.
A proposition of Mr. Smith, that had been moved as an amendment to Mr. Jay's motion of the 11th inst. for adopting the Constitution; and a motion of Mr. Hamilton as an amendment to Mr. Smith's, were then read.
The Hon. Mr. Duane then moved, That the consideration of Mr. Smith's propositions should be postponed, in order to take up Mr. Hamilton's.
On this motion the division was called.
Table with 2 columns: Affirmative, Negative. Lists names of delegates and their votes.
Table with 2 columns: Affirmative, Negative. Lists names of delegates and their votes.
Affirmative 20 Negative 21 Majority 21
The Committee then took up the proposition of Mr. Smith, as the principle on which they would proceed; after some time had elapsed, in which nothing particular was urged, Mr. Smith got up, and with much candor confessed that the arguments that had been offered against his proposition, were not only weighty, but such as had induced him to relinquish it...
Mr. Lansing said, if Mr. Smith withdrew his other proposition, he should again move it; and of course both propositions remained before the convention.
The motion is as follows:
WE, the Delegates of the people of the State of New-York, duly elected in pursuance of concurrent resolutions of the Senate and Assembly of the said State, passed the — day of —, and now met in Convention, having fully and fairly discussed the Constitution proposed to our consideration, agreed upon by the Federal Convention held in Philadelphia on the — day of —, do make known and declare:
That after the most mature deliberation they have been able to give the subject, a majority of them cannot approve the whole of the said Constitution, without amendments or alterations for the following among other reasons:
1st. Because the most important powers granted by this Constitution, are expressed in terms so general, indefinite and ambiguous, as to leave the rulers in the exercise of them, to act too much at discretion.
2d. The limits of the powers of the General and State Governments are not marked out with sufficient precision; nor those of the former so defined as entirely to prevent a clashing of jurisdiction; and there is reason to fear that the State Government may be impaired by the General Government in the exercise of powers granted in such general words and by implication only; especially
3d. Because the Constitution gives to the Congress an indefinite and unlimited power over all the sources of revenue in the Union; by which means there is reason to fear that the individual States will be left without adequate means of discharging debts, or maintaining their civil establishments.
4th. Because the number of Representatives are not sufficiently numerous at present to possess a competent knowledge of and attachment to the interests of their constituents, or to afford a reasonable degree of confidence; and no certain ratio of increase is fixed, but left at the discretion of Congress.
5th. Because the power of regulating the times, places and manner of holding elections, tho' in the first instance given to the respective State Legislatures, is yet ultimately placed under the control of Congress, by which means they will have it too much in their power to secure their own continuance.
Executive and Judicial powers are lodged in the Senate. It is a maxim in a free government, that the Legislative, Executive and Judicial departments should be kept separate; tho' this cannot be effected in all its extent, yet it may be much nearer attained than is done in this system; for the Senate not only form a branch of the Legislature, but are also associated with the President in the exercise of the most important Executive powers, and form the high Judicial Court in the nation for the trial of impeachments.
7th. The judicial powers in this Constitution, are given in too general and indefinite terms; are so various and extensive, that they may easily be made by legal fiction to extend too far and absorb some of the judicial powers of the respective States. No explicit security is given for Trial by Jury in common law cases, and the ancient and usual mode of trial in criminal matters is not secured. The appellate jurisdiction both as to law and fact, may deprive the citizen of safety from juries and render the obtaining justice difficult, dilatory and expensive.
For these and various other reasons, this Convention would be induced not to accede to this Constitution, did not other weighty considerations interpose; but the strong attachments they feel to their sister States, and their regard to the common good of the Union, impel them to prefer it.
This Convention have the firmest confidence in the common councils of the people of the United States, and the highest expectations that all the necessary amendments will be produced from their further deliberations; they therefore consent with the utmost cheerfulness to abide by the result of such deliberations; but as some time will be necessary to effect this, the Convention will forbear to dissent from their brethren of the other states: they have therefore agreed to assent to and ratify the said Constitution, in the firmest confidence that an opportunity will be speedily given to revise and amend the said Constitution, in the mode pointed out in the fifth article thereof; expressly reserving nevertheless to this state a right to secede and withdraw from the said Constitution, in case such opportunity be not given within — years.
And this Convention do recommend to the Congress, that the power to lay and collect taxes and excise, to call out the militia, &c. &c. &c. be not exercised or made to operate on this state in any other manner than is proposed in the amendments recommended by this Convention, until the sense of the people of the United States be taken on the propriety of the amendments to the Constitution, in one or the other of the modes pointed out in it.
Resolved, that it be recommended to the Legislature of this State, to request the Congress to call a Convention to consider of and propose amendments to this Constitution at their first session; and that the amendments agreed to by this Convention be transmitted to such Convention, when met, to be laid before them.
Resolved, that a circular letter be addressed to all the States in the Union, inclosing the foregoing, and earnestly inviting them to join with this Convention in requesting the Congress at their first meeting, to call a Convention of the States, to consider of the amendments proposed by all the States.
On Friday, when the Convention met, silence pervaded the house; and it being evident that they were not prepared for a decision, after sitting about an hour, they adjourned till the next day.
On Saturday the question was taken, and it was agreed to take up the last proposition in preference to the one before proposed by Mr. Smith.
It is doubtful what may yet be the result of their deliberations; tho' there is reason to believe that the last proposition of Mr. Smith affords the groundwork of an adoption.

lors for the approaching procession, will please to

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK. ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Rivingson's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (figured by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join uncomitting affluity to the plan laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city. 1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21, Wall-street, to see the business performed. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself to pay the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The undertaking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives secure, and prevent the destruction of property, by conflagration, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of Sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the aforesaid place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. May 9. tf STEPHEN PATERSON.
