"After discussing the subject, seven or eight days, and finding many of the members, who were instructed to the contrary...

A message was received from the Council of Revision by Mr. Chancellor Livingston, that the Council had no objections to the Bill for punishing treasons and felonies...
The Bill concerning distresses, and for the better security and more easy recovery of rents and renewal of leases, and to prevent frauds by tenants; and the Bill concerning slaves.
The House went into Committee on the Bill to repeal the acts therein mentioned:
Mr. Hedges in the Chair.
The Committee having made some progress in the Bill, rose and reported accordingly.

Mr. Osborn in the Chair.
A motion was made, that the Bill lie over till the next session, and that, in the meantime, an advertisement should be published, that all persons concerned therein, might show cause, if any they had, why it should not pass into a law.
After some time spent thereon, the Committee rose without coming to any determination.
Mr. Benson, in behalf of the Committee to whom had been referred the petition of Peter Tappen, moved for leave, and brought in a Bill, for the more effectual collection of the arrears of taxes, for building a court house and gaol in Duchess County; which Bill was read a first time, and ordered a second reading.
Adjourned till 9 o'clock, to-morrow morning.
County of Orange, March 1, 1788.
Mr. CHILDS,
IN a paper of Mr. Greenleaf's, dated 28th ult. I observed a piece, dated Montgomery County, Feb. 9th, 1788, asserting, that the inhabitants of Ulster and Orange conceived it to be their duty and privilege, in order to consult on a subject appearing to them important, &c. &c. &c. and every one present declared they would not adopt the plan of government published by the Convention, but oppose it as a system calculated to destroy the equal liberty they now enjoy, &c. &c.
Now, Sir, as a member of the community, and an inhabitant of Orange County, I think it my duty to remove those false aspersions against my fellow citizens of that county, by placing the matter in its true light, and as exactly conformable to truth as can be, without being prejudiced in favor of either party.
The particulars are as follows:—About eight or ten days previous to this great meeting, it was noised about in the two counties, that the effigies of three gentlemen of respectable characters in the city of New-York were to be burnt at Ward's bridge (by some called Irish Town) in the county of Ulster, for having heretically asserted that they were for the adoption of the proposed Constitution; in consequence of which a number of people, who usually frequent such scenes, from the county of Ulster attended, and some few from Orange County.
After passing the grog freely, it was determined to appoint a Committee, when, unfortunately for the County of Orange, there happened to be present Mr. C—e G—e, merchant, of Goshen; R—n H—s, Esq. Captain J—n W—d, persons equally learned in politics, who, with four colleagues of Ulster County, formed a Committee, and after appointing Hendrick Smith, late or some time ago, Esq. Moderator (persons equally averse to the Constitution) while the other persons present were intent on the real business of their meeting, being joined by a few other persons, they in grand procession marched to Ward's bridge, about two hundred yards from the house of Mrs. Horstenbeck, a tavern at that place, with the Constitution on a long pole, carried as some say by a Sijant-Major, and some by a constable, followed in procession by fifteen men, out of the number of perhaps one hundred present (who probably would have followed had they been able to do so) where a sheaf of straw was set on fire, and the copy they had jointly purchased of the Constitution, was on the firing the straw thrown into the Wallkill; but not satisfied with this supposed mark of contempt (as was asserted) a certain other tavern-keeper finding considerable money had passed through the hands of his neighbor, informed (either in person or by proxy) that a similar scene the ensuing evening should be acted at his house; but considerably to his disappointment, it was too soon, as they had not got over the spirit of the antecedent meeting. I am, Sir,
A Friend to Truth.

The ARRaignment of CENTINEL, Esq. February 27, 1788.
CENTINEL, Esq. was brought to the bar of the most illustrious the United States; and the clerk having read the return, Mr. A—y G—l informed the court, there was an indictment against the prisoner, and prayed he might be charged with it.
Clerk. Centinel, hold up your hand, which he (reluctantly) did.
Pennsylvania, ss. THE jurors for the most illustrious U-
ited States of America, upon their oaths do present, that ——— Centinel, late of the Northern Liberties, in the County of Philadelphia, Esq. and within the jurisdiction of the aforesaid most illustrious United States, as a false traitor, not having the fear of God in his heart, neither in his eyes, nor weighing the duties of citizenship and allegiance, but moved and seduced by the instigation of Satan, Belzebub, Lucifer, Belial, and the whole herd of Devils, withdrawing the due obedience which a true and faithful subject ought, should, and of right is bound to bear, towards the aforesaid most illustrious United States; contriving, and with all his strength, soul, body, and goose quill (even to an unprecedented degree of flaming zeal and enthusiasm) to disturb the peace and common tranquillity of the aforesaid most illustrious United States, by dogmatical, proditorious publications, (lies and other hellish devices) to stir up and move opposition, faction, riot, sedition, insurrection, civil wars, rebellion and murder, against the aforesaid most illustrious United States, the Honorable the Congress, his Excellency General Washington, and divers other members of the Honorable the Continental and State Conventions, and against their new proposed glorious frame of Government, for promoting the peace, liberty and safety of the aforesaid most illustrious United States; for which purposes the aforesaid Centinel, as a false traitor, maliciously, traitorously, and diabolically, did conspire, compass, imagine and intend, and with the artifices and plausibility of a thorough-paced Jesuit, to frustrate their designs, &c. by holding a secret correspondence and cabal on the 11th day of September, in the year of our Lord 1787, and in the 12th year of the independence of the aforesaid most illustrious United States; and divers times, as well before as after, did meet and consult with other false traitors, as Philadelphiaensis, the Red Nos'd Vicar, the Old Militia Man, the Old Whig, Timmy the Rover, and other false and scurrilous traitors, to the jurors at present unknown, at their sedition and libel shop, at College-Green, in the State of Pennsylvania aforesaid.
And then and there did distil, in large quantities, false, factious, opprobrious, disgraceful, shameful, vile, defamatory, scandalous, libelous, traitorous, malicious, infamous and stinkabub pieces, to the number of sixteen, entitled the "Centinel," and which said infamous libels, &c. the said
Centinel as aforesaid, as a false traitor, &c. with the most unparallelled and audacious effrontery, did cause to be printed and published, from time to time, and from day to day, in the paper by him called the "impartial and immaculate paper," which said libels, &c. were filled with lies, false quotations, trifling tales, fears, suggestions, prognostications, broken-hearted sighs, enthusiastic rhapsodies, tautological repetitions, and the whole palladium of nonsense and absurdities, liberally and spontaneously embelished, with the words, miscreants, infernal wretches, conclave, aristocrats, well-born, accursed villains, conspirators, and other Bilinggate expressions, abounding with scandalum magnatum, by wholesale, ad infinitum; and which libelous papers, together with hand-bills, in both German and English, the aforesaid Centinel, as a false traitor, &c. did clandestinely convey by private hands, into some of the back counties, particularly Cumberland, Franklin and Fayette, to raise and stir up riot, opposition, civil wars, and rebellion, and which actually took effect in the town of Carlisle.
And also this same Centinel, as a false traitor, &c. did hold a treasonable correspondence with certain other well known traitors of the minority, by the names of W—, F— and S—, a detestable triumvirate, disturbers of the peace of society, insignificant babblers, noisy, ignorant, impertinent politicalers, affidious seekers of their own interest, office-hunters, makers of paper money and rest laws, seceders, protectors, promoters of riot, faction, sedition, discord, civil wars, and rebellion; and at the same time impudently, ungraciously, burlesquically and ironically, together with a very small number of other low, trifling subberdegullions (of an inferior class) calling themselves Patriots!
And moreover, the aforesaid Centinel, as a false traitor, &c. in order to fulfil those his most horrid and diabolical treasons, and traitorous compassings, imaginations and purposes aforesaid, and to leave nothing undone, which envy, hatred, malice, ambition and a diabolical heart could suggest, did collogue with certain wheel-barrow men, convicts and criminals, now in the new gaol of the city and county of Philadelphia, making use of all his interest and influence with divers others sycophants, time-serving pickthanks, sycophants, and traitors, &c. of his gang, to get him the aforesaid Centinel, chosen president of their society; and actually succeeded therein, as fully appears by the treasonable and traitorous resolves of the aforesaid society printed and published in the Pennsylvania Gazette, of which he the said Centinel, &c. is now president,

no L — M — vice-president, against the duty of his allegiance, against the peace of the aforesaid most illustrious United States, against the dignity and independence thereof, and against the form of the statutes in this case made and provided.
How say you, — Centinel, are you guilty of this high treason and other matters whereof you stand indicted, or not guilty?
Clerk. Culprit, how will you be tried? Centinel. By God and the minority. Clerk. God send you a good deliverance. The prisoner then was remanded back to gaol, and the court adjourned sine die .
Dean NICKOLLS's Letter on the Slave-Trade, concluded from yesterday's paper.
BUT it is a branch of national commerce, and is allowed by the legislature. So, anciently, among the states of Greece was piracy not only allowed, but esteemed honorable. But in a matter so evidently contrary to every principle of common justice, where is the man, with shame is his face, or honesty in his heart, that in a national assembly will dare avow such a cause? If we admit the plea, from necessity, for such a traffic, were shall we stop? Is not the plea of the robber who is hanged, as good? Fiat justitia, ruat coelum . The friends of liberty must, upon their own principles, reprobate this worst species of tyranny; the worst, because no other has so blasting an effect on morals, no other thoroughly vitiates the heart. The Christian cannot countenance it; his Bible shews that "men-stealers" are classed with "murderers of fathers and mothers, and perjured persons," 1 Tim. chap. 1. ver. 10. And will he mix in such a crew? Will he give them his influence and support? They who read and believe their Bible, may learn from the histories and prophecies it contains, that though Divine Providence is pleased to permit one nation to oppress another, and though the oppressing power be the scourge of Divine Justice, yet vengeance will revert to the oppressor at last, because he feels the injury, not the reformation, of the oppressed. And therefore believers in a Divine Providence will see much to dread in the encouragement of the slave-trade.
Could that infernal traffic be annihilated, the condition of slavery in the islands would be ameliorated; the native negroes would be more tractable, more ready to acquire the regard of those among whom they were born; and more easily converted to Christianity, because they may be more easily informed. At length, by the mild and uniform operation of Christian principles, slavery itself might be abolished. For though Christianity at its first promulgation, for obvious reasons, did not affect to introduce any alteration in the civil rights of men, yet its genuine tendency is friendly to civil liberty, as Montesquieu has observed in its favor, and Gibbon has dared to allege to its reproach. That slavery is not at all necessary to the cultivation of the sugar-cane, is evident; for Sicily, within a few centuries, manufactured sugar, as Cochin China now does, without any assistance from slaves. But were it otherwise, what would, what should, be the choice of Britons; to have sugar in their tea, or to set nations free from the scourge, the chain and the yoke?
To the planter, the prohibition of the slave-trade would be immediately beneficial, and the benefit would be progressive with time, as it would immediately raise the value of his negroes, whose numbers also would be increased by a melioration of the system of slavery;
To the British merchant it would be equally beneficial, in a similar manner; for none of the produce of the islands being expended in the purchase of slaves, more would be left for the payment of debts to Britain:
To the British nation it would be beneficial, because the planter, cultivating the sugar-cane at less expence, could afford his produce at a lower rate; because, also, seamen and soldiers would not be sent to perish in the unhealthy climates of Africa:
To the American States it would afford a proof, that we are no less friendly to liberty than they, who have already shown us an example, in this respect, which we ought fain to have given:
To all the world it will prove our equity and humanity:
To nations yet unborn it will transmit liberty and happiness:
To the reign of George the Third it will give peculiar lustre: And exhibit him as the friend of mankind at large, whom the noblest zeal in the support of piety and morals at home distinguishes as the real father of his people.
I have not, Sir, intentionally omitted any circumstance, and I am out of the way of more correct information. What I have written is dictated by an ardent wish for the success of your cause.
I have some pamphlets which have been published upon this subject, and will circulate them among my neighbors,
I am, Sir, with great respect, your most obedient humble servant, ROBERT BOUCHER NICKOLLS, Dean of Middleham. Samuel Hoare, jun. Esq. Lombard-street, London.
