The Printer being disappointed in a supply of paper, of the size on which he usually prints, This Day presents his Customers with The DAILY ADVERTISER smaller in form, but, with the addition of a SUPPLEMENT, as copious as ever with respect to matter. He has preferred adopting this mode (notwithstanding the extraordinary exertion it has occasioned) to printing on the brown, disgusting stuff, which the uncommon scarcity of better paper has heretofore, at different times, compelled him to use. As he is in hourly expectation of a supply, his next publication will appear in its usual form.
Acknowledging the many obligations he is under to his numerous Literary Friends, he hopes for a continuance of their favors. ---And, as the very extensive and general circulation of his paper offers an easy and direct communication to the public mind, any Political Disquisitions, which may be handed him, will be carefully and impartially inserted.
** The Reformer , Eboracus , Aeneas , Palpable Truths , and several other political and entertaining pieces omitted this day, will appear as soon as possible.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repaired the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the necessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner. Castings made in an Air Furnace, are allowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Foundries, to be better than what is made in a Blast Furnace; because, in an Air Furnace, the ware is made out of the softest and best Pig Metal, and, by its being melted a second time, the scoria, or dross, is expelled, and nothing but the pure Metal remains. In a Blast Furnace, the Castings are made out of the first smelting of the crude Ore, and are more or less mixed with dross, which subjects the ware to be rough and spongy, and often full of cold shuts: the difference, in short, is nearly the same as there is between refined and Bloomery Iron.---The ware they have made is allowed, by good judges, to be as light, as smooth, and as good as any imported from Europe. This consideration alone, of the ware being as good as the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manufactures of his own country; but a more powerful argument for the purchaser to give it a preference is, that it can be afforded cheaper than the imported ware, chiefly owing to a duty of six pounds per ton being laid on foreign castings. The ware manufactured at this Furnace, consists of the following articles, viz. Pots and kettles of various sizes, from one to fifteen gallons, tea kettles, pye-pans, skillets, giddles, potash kettles and coolers, whaling-kettles, boilers for tallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for sugar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for slitting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves neatly decorated with carved work, Bath stove-grates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's cabouzes of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; mill rounds and gudgeons, law-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlashes, cast iron screws for fulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, lash-weights, forge-hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and sulkey boxes, &c. &c. &c. N. B. Persons who want any backs, or other ware, cast agreeable to particular patterns, will please to send their patterns and orders to the FURNACE, near Mr. Atlee's Brewery, or leave them at the house of PETER T. CURTENIUS, No. 48, Great Dock-street, near the Exchange. Oct. 15, 6w

I BEG that the Public would condescend to observe, that Mr. Paul Jones wants to bring to a decision, by news-papers, an affair of honor with me, which might have been terminated, as promised, in Holland, in the year 1779, had he been willing; and had he not, to avoid it then, impeached me with the fallacious charges he has mentioned:---that they may consider his advantages and artful way of writing against a man born a foreigner, not conversant with the language, candid, and unacquainted with the laws, by which he may be entrapped for some unwary expressions:---that he is not ignorant of my numberless enemies:---that I have in that description, as may appear by the first part of my memorial, his Excellency Benjamin Franklin, and, of course, his party; and, by the second part, the Hon. Arthur Lee, Esq. and likewise his party; whose partisans, of both sides, make the major part of the gentlemen in office in America:---that I wrote a memorial, dated March 25th, 1782, to the Hon. Congress, in which I complained highly of the treatment I had received, in the offices of the Superintendent of Finances, and in that of Mr. Miligan; and tho', by influence against me, the report of the Committee, who examined it, was rejected, I have some reasons to think that these gentlemen bear me no good will:---that the Hon. Rufus King, Esq. who was Chairman of a Committee to report on my memorial, dated the 31st July, 1786, to Congress, told me several times in private, that my claims were just; but if I would claim the interest of the sums owing to me, for pay, subsistence and advanced money, only from the time I was out of service, he would himself make the report, and the other gentlemen of the Committee would assent to it; it would undoubtedly pass in Congress, and I would receive, according to my claim, all in ready money; nevertheless, after I had consented to the great sacrifice of the said interest, for all the time I was in service, he told me I could not be paid several sums in ready money, but in certificates, tho' the same sums were granted and acknowledged to be at my credit on account current (which means, I am sensible, to be paid me when I would call for it) by an official letter of the Superintendent of Finances, corroborated by a resolve of Congress on the 6th March, 1782, which approved the steps the Superintendent of Finance had taken, with respect to my accounts: he deducted likewise a year and a half interest on the gratuity promised me for bringing a cargo of ammunition to America. I begged of him as a favor to be admitted before the Committee, where being, he wanted to put advanced money in Europe to be paid in certificates, particularly the balance of my expenses above the sums I had received to bear them, when ordered to remain in Paris by his Excellency Benjamin Franklin; but the other gentlemen thought and agreed it should be paid in ready money; but Mr. King took a paper and wrote the report whilst the other gentlemen went to Congress, which report gave ground to a Resolve the 2d June, 1785, by which a law made, by a resolve in the year 1783, to pay officers (in other cases than mine) in certificates, retrospeted and annihilated two resolves, favorable to my undeniable demands, passed in 1778 and 1781; by which the amount of my whole pay, and above, being 1814 dollars (allowed, as said before, to be paid me in ready money) should be paid in certificates, and which I must totally lose, having no hope of redress, as I have since repeated my claim unsuccessfully, and am unwilling to assent to such change in the payment:---that Mr. Paul Jones, by influence, had been sent to Europe (without my knowledge) and kept and enjoyed, since two years, twelve thousand hard dollars of our prize money which he received there; and tho' he then remitted the remnant of it to the American Minister in France, by the influence of my enemies here, and particularly in the Treasury Board, I, on the con-
trary, altho' I have claimed my share of that money of that Hon. Board, and represented to them that my share was distinct from the rest of the crew, it being two nineteenths of that money, I have never received a farthing of it, and I don't know whether, by the preponderance of those enemies, I shall ever receive any; which case makes me shorter of money than Mr. Jones, to bear the expenses of the press:---that, by the by-words of my enemies in all the companies I am not known to, which is the greatest part, keeping within a small circle of a few friends, I must have all disadvantages.
I have made these observations, amongst a great many others, to keep the honest, whose approbation only I wish for, upon their guard; I may say, on the whole, if the comparison of rational beings and brutes can be admitted, that I have been as unmercifully used by my enemies, as a country dog is when in town, helpless in the middle of a multitude of the city ones, by whom at last, he is torn to pieces.

No. III.
AN ADDRESS TO FEDERALISTS.
ONE who has no other motive than the public good to influence his political sentiments, congratulates you upon the Federal spirit now so universally pervading the Union; incontestible evidences of which are daily received.
A late respectable Convention of Clergymen, in this city, have done honor to their society, by intimating to us the general sense of the serious and sedate. The proposed Constitution appeared to them so evidently calculated to promote the happiness of mankind, and to secure the liberties of their country, as to draw forth their public and warmest commendations. By those, in every State, who have long been most eminent for wisdom and integrity, it is regarded as the mean to expand the wings of commerce, science and religion; to convert our desarts into populous and cultivated villages; to reward the toils of smiling industry; to banish frowning discord from our peaceful borders; to exalt the scale of justice, to restore the crown of righteousness to the brow of America, and to perpetuate the blessings for which she has bled.
The numbers of that enlightened order in society, the mercantile, are too sensible of the importance of national respectability, of public credit abroad, and of just commercial regulations at home, to hesitate long as to its adoption. They perceive that, under it, the most excellent provisions will be instituted, with respect to such objects; while they know, that, notwithstanding every real or pretended defect, it surpasses any system of Government, that has ever as yet regulated an extensive empire. Hence it is that the cities of Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, Annapolis, and our other trading towns, are so undivided in sentiment. Boston warmly espouses the opinion of her worthy Governor; but it is to be hoped he has not burnt in effigy a seceding member of the Convention; or that, from Alexandria, another has been formally banished by its Mayor and Corporation. An honest indignation of patriotism is often commendable: but when it flames to a devouring enthusiasm; when respectable characters be-
come its victims, philanthropy must sigh at the frailties of humanity.
But it is not our cities alone that are attentive to the instructions of sound policy. The intelligent farmer, and the industrious mechanic, perceive the oppressions of ignorance, the injustice of ex post facto laws, the want of encouragement to labor, the instability of Government, and the insecurity of property. Hence it is, we find the interior counties of many of the States, particularly of Virginia, so warmly expressing their attachment to the new Constitution. Hence it is, that several of the State Conventions are already appointed. Hence the odium that rests upon the seceding members throughout Pennsylvania. The town of Carlisle, so far from resenting the conduct of Philadelphia towards her representatives, as Anti-Federalists supposed, unanimously declared them unworthy, in future, to hold any office of place or trust. The Federal dagger is half unsheathed in the State of Jersey; and her counties, composed principally of farmers, pledge their lives and fortunes in support of the glorious revolution.
The last mentioned circumstance might convince any candid mind, how cowardly is the fear, how idle is the pretence of despotism. If the Constitution was, in reality, thus dangerously constructed, by the encroachments of power, the great would at length overwhelm the small, and the State of Jersey would be among the first to fall a sacrifice to her powerful and ambitious neighbours. Jealousy, in different degrees, is the blessing and the bane of liberty. In free countries it is constantly verging to an excess of distrust. But the State which would be most in danger, had these cowardly pretences any foundation, is not only ardently favorable to Federal measures, but wisely conceiving her safety and her interest connected thereto, willingly concedes one half of her present consequence in the Federal councils. It is not, my countrymen, the fear of any encroachments from despotism, so much as an attachment to local advantages, that any where excites opposition. While the latter is secretly operating upon the minds of the avaricious, the pretence of the former is an artful invention of ambition, to rouse the distrust of the jealous.
But, as history has shewn the danger of great national revolutions, and as reason pronounces that the frequency of change must beget an habit of inconstancy in the minds of the people, let us for once enquire, why an alteration in the government of these states is considered as necessary---why it is so fervently wished for, and so confidently expected? This enquiry is easily resolved. For, besides the reasons furnished by the foregoing reflections, the federal government in its present situation is utterly incapable of combining or of supporting the various interests of the union. Nor ought, what should have been expected, to create the least degree of surprise; since the confederation was formed, when the principles of legislation were comparatively but ill understood; when the common cause of liberty and the sense of common danger united us in the most indissoluble bonds; and when the great object of all our patriotic reflections was, not to form a political system, but to repel a powerful enemy. The present construction of our union being, therefore, as it were by accident, radically repugnant to every wise principle in jurisprudence, any trifling alteration rendering it efficient to temporary purposes, would as certainly cause its final operation to be both absurd and oppressive. While its laws, or rather its recommendations are the subjects of ridicule, while its exertions excite opposition and abhorrence, can we conceive of a government more open to anarchy, or more destructive in its issue? Our foreign politics and our domestic economy are equally deranged. Our friends are disgusted, and our enemies treat us with contempt. The states are disobedient to the most constitutional requisitions, and an energy is wanting necessary to the support of any government. The state of

New-York and the state of Delaware bear an equal weight in the federal councils, and the inconveniences of so disproportionate a representation must sooner or later be felt. In fine, an incapacity to regulate the common concerns of the union is daily experienced, or to discharge its most indispensable obligations, either at home or abroad. It may be added, that among the states themselves, we trace the symptoms of growing dissatisfaction, mutual jealousy, separate interest, and local prejudice. Injustice, faction and confusion, call into birth the deadliest animosities.—Such is the real, but awful situation of our public affairs!
Whether should opposition most excite, our pity, our indignation, or our contempt? Is it possible, that, as the moderate Publius supposes, there may, from human fallibility, be men so blind to the interest of their country, as to oppose from principle the most obvious dictates of wisdom? Can there be any, who from an honest motive, would suffer such an important period to pass unimproved? If once the golden opportunity wings its departure, it may never return, unless conducted back by the sanguinary horrors of civil discord. When the illustrious Father of his country was called on by the Convention to ratify the Constitution as its President—holding the pen, after a short pause, he pronounced these words, too remarkable to be forgotten or unknown—“Should the states reject this excellent Constitution, the probability is, an opportunity will never again offer to cancel another in peace—the next will be drawn in blood!”—Great Heaven, avert the direful catastrophe! But may the rising glories of his country gild his declining horizon, and her smiling prosperity cheer his heart as sinking into the embrace of death!
But what are we to feel when the dark arcana of opposition are disclosed? What, when the judgment of common sense is affronted by a denial of the most interesting truths? Anti-federal writers scruple not to declare that our interest consists in dis-union . Go then, my countrymen, forget your weakness and your danger when divided. Forget the experience of ancient Greece. Forget your mutual sufferings, and the blood you mingled for a dear-bought Independence. Forget the endearing ties by which you are related, that you are friends and brethren. Go then, destroy your emblems of your union, and bury your standards in the dust.
Cato seems to dread the too energetic powers of the proposed Constitution, and bids us “beware of despotism as the greatest of all evils:” but anon, it is metamorphosed by his versatile imagination into a pure republican construction, “incapable of combining or of preserving the peace of these states.” Brutus is equally consistent. “We have felt (he acknowledges) the feebleness of our ties and the want of sufficient energy;” and yet he is dismally apprehensive, that what he declares, will amount to “a perfect and entire consolidation,” will render our dis-union the more probable. Under our present impotent and despised government, while the states are guilty of unjust practices and malicious retaliations towards each other, neither of these writers appear to have any apprehensions; but the instant the union is to be strengthened, and such practices over-ruled, they give an alarm: to their bewildered fancies or pretended fears, our “climates, productions and customs grow variant,” and our interests begin to draw with an irresistible force into opposite direction. And “this forbids (says Brutus) that we should be connected under one government.” But why did not Brutus forbid that the counties of New-York should be consolidated into one government? Behold through what a variety of climates she extends her variegated territory; from the commercial ocean, through the frigid regions of the North, and along the uncultivated borders of the Great Ontario! But be assured that neither the mandates of Brutus, nor the threatened factions of Cato, with his “powerful mal-contents,” shall ever dissolve a union dictated by necessity and safety, supported by the dearest ties of national amity, and founded in principles,
the propriety of which the experience of ages has demonstrated.
Both these writers appeal to the authority of the celebrated Montesquieu, to shew the impropriety of an extensive republic, and the impossibility under such a government to take cognizance of, or to do justice to the local necessities of its subjects. But Brutus and Cato pervert his sense, by their confounding the simple democracy of which he treats, with the complex plan of the federal constitution. Thus they disguise those peculiar circumstances which ought to characterise our political situation from all others. To furnish a solution to objections drawn from this favorite source, we have only to attend to the two following distinctions: First, the president of the United States is to possess certain executive powers, which will give the federal government the guarded efficiency of an elective monarchy. For the abuse of these powers he alone is answerable, and by the representatives of the people he may at any time be impeached. But as his accuser and his judge ought not to be the same, his trial is before a senate, in which each state bears an equal sway; so that although he be a favorite of the strong , he may be made to tremble before the justice of the weak . Secondly, the existence and office of the state legislatures. How vain, how invidious is the pretence that these must perish under the operation of the supreme jurisdiction; when, from the very mode of appointing the different branches of the federal government, it must, at the same time, thus work its own annihilation. Brutus artfully throws a veil over the existence of the state legislatures, by endeavouring to confound them with the supreme. For this purpose, he observes, that “it will be impossible for the supreme legislature to attend to the various internal concerns of so extensive an empire.” But the duties to be attended to by this supreme legislative head, are to be drawn from the letter of the constitution. They are principally of the great national kind, while the local concerns of states, or the necessities of particular districts fall not within the sphere of its jurisdiction, but are left under the direction of the states individually. From this beautiful arrangement, subjects so different in their nature, instead of being confounded, will for ever claim the unbarred attention of men best competent to their discussion.
The existence, office, and mutual dependence of these inferior and superior powers, might have in part originated in a delicate unwillingness in your Convention to break in upon the already formed habits of their constituents. From the same free people, both are immediately derived; which can therefore never be interested in each other's destruction. But should our ambitious designs be cherished by the former, the latter stand the centinels of freedom to sound an alarm. And should ever the improbable event take place, (but which however may take place under any government); should ever the liberties of the people be violated by the execution of such designs; from this constitution they must experience a peculiar advantage. For while under other governments in such circumstances, the people are obliged, in order to obtain redress, to resolve themselves into a state of anarchy and tumult, in which they often fall a sacrifice to the demagogues of their own party: here they may do themselves justice, and resist every encroachment of despotism, with the advantages of combination, system, and arrangement under their state legislatures. On the other hand, should the latter, which is quite as probable, usurp an undue or oppressive authority over them, the union is bound to guard the rights of the injured, and to guarantee to each state a republican form of government.
Having thus considered a part of the admirable construction of the proposed Constitution, it appears that the objections of its enemies serve but to display and to elucidate its excellencies. I view this fair, this stately edifice of liberty, as rising under the forming hand of Heaven to render America the blissful seat of human glory and perfection. Its structure, fitness and proportion, attract our admiration, and become more
illustriously conspicuous upon every review; while it rests upon thirteen pillars of adamant, and new states must but add stability to its immovable basis. From the specimens we have received, it may be justly expected, that the writings of Publius will reflect a pleasing lustre upon many of those beautiful intricacies, that are retized from superficial observation, and which require a master discernment to be brought into public notice.
