An ESSAY on the Means of promoting FEDERAL SENTIMENTS in the United States. By a Foreign Spectator. (Continued from No. 807.)
A very defective police in very essential matters is a great nuisance. In some places a bridge remains for years in a dangerous condition, and several persons nearly escape with their lives. What idea must this give a reflecting person of the government; has it not the sense or power to redress the grievance! What effect will it have on public manners, when a few pounds are begrudged not for convenience, but safety! When women with children in their arms travel on horseback, and often in the dark, over such a place! Can those men be concerned for the happiness or the existence of the United States, who expose their sweat-hearts, mothers, wives, and babes — No custom can to a feeling mind reconcile such barbarous neglect. Purity of manners is very necessary in republics; but a want of it in America would be a symptom of greater corruption; because exceeding few women are by a cruel indifference tempted to sell their virtue, or at least receive the insidious friendship of a seducer—that debasing inequality is not known, which may induce a vain and less virtuous girl rather to be the mistress of a nobleman, than a laborer's wife — marriages are not impeded or forced by poverty or the necessity of living in a certain stile: this neither separates true lovers, nor urges the titled wretch to give his daughter's hand without her heart. In this state of society, illicit amours evidence in most cases a greater relaxation of moral principles; a degree of vanity, luxury, and licentiousness, insincerity, very baneful in Federal States. It is an execrable species of false honor, and happily as yet little known in America, that permits a gentleman, who scorns to be a villain in other things, to steal from his best friend the heart of his wife. Yet, where so many women wed only to wealth and title; where so many husbands think a wife's fondness even troublesome, and are glad of a cicibeo; where loyalty, pride of rank, and a military force support the government; this corruption is less dangerous — But in America the marriage vow should be sacred, and its violation an atrocious crime. Seduction of young women must also be very criminal; and should in most cases be marked with peculiar infamy, and severe punishment.
Ye generous maids revenge your sex's wrongs; Let not the mean destroyer e'er approach Your sacred charms —
America protect thy lovely daughters! Spurn from thy councils, from the bands of thy brave warriors, the perfidious deceiver, who by labored sighs, sacred oaths, and a thousand solemn vows, wins female tenderness, and trusting innocence — the base voluntary or despicable coxcomb, who to gratify vanity or animal appetite, destroys the happiness of a whole family, regardless of a father's grief, a mother's never ceasing anguish — the infamous coward, who exults in the insidious conquest of female weakness, the spoil of innocence, the ruin of beauty — the barbarian, who brings to an untimely grave the lovely maid, that would die for him, or what is worse, to a disgrace, that all the tears of repentance, all the blood of a broken heart, cannot wash away.
A Legislator must know, that as he stamps the value of the national coin, so he does, by rewards and punishments, in a great measure fix the public estimation of virtue and vice, honor and shame. Although, therefore, a crime is not very common, yet if it falls under the observation of many, and, especially, by interesting the human heart, becomes a topic of conversation, in which all circumstances are discussed with a moral criticism — it must be deemed infamous by the laws; or it will weaken the principles of great numbers, and become the practice of many. In a country place, where the people have much leisure, and few interesting occurrences, the misfortune of a girl is an important event; and, if not severely punished, will bring on the ruin of many.
(To be continued.)
New-York, Oct. 3.
We hear that this morning a Sermon will be preached in St. Paul's Church, by the Right Rev. William White, D. D. Bishop of the State of Pennsylvania; being the anniversary Sermon of the Society for the relief of distressed Clergymen's Widows and their Children.
On Thursday last arrived at Philadelphia, the brig Georgia Packet, Capt. Williams, in 44 days from Bourdeaux, by whom we learn, that the political affairs in Europe, for some time since, wore the strongest appearances of hostility, yet no fleet had sailed from any of the ports of France. Capt. Williams left Bourdeaux about the 15th of August. The general opinion then was, that the unhappy disputes in the United
Netherlands would be compromised by the mediating powers.
On Friday last Mr. George Clymer rose in the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, and having premised, that the subject which he purposed to introduce to the House, was of so interesting a nature, was so generally understood, and so unanimously approved, that he thought it superfluous to attempt, by any prefatory reasoning, to impress it upon the minds of the Members, he presented resolutions of the following purport to the Chair: — "Whereas the late Federal Convention has digested a plan of Government for the United States, and recommended that it should be referred to the consideration of State Conventions — Therefore, Resolved, that all persons entitled to elect Representatives in General Assembly, shall elect as many Delegates to form a Convention for the purpose aforesaid, as the city and counties to which they respectively belong are by law authorised to return to the General Assembly — that the said election of Delegates shall take place for the city of Philadelphia, and all the counties, except those hereafter-mentioned, on the day of the next general election, and for Bedford, Huntingdon, Washington and Westmoreland on the day of —; that the Delegates, so elected, shall meet at the State-house in Philadelphia on the day of — next, and that it be recommended to the succeeding House of Assembly, to provide the same allowance for the attending Members of the said Convention, as is provided for the Members of the Legislature." These propositions produced a very long and animated debate, and upon the question — Will the House adopt the Resolution for calling a Convention? — it was determined in the affirmative. Yeas 43, Nays 19.
The House having come to the resolution, mentioned in the preceding paragraph, adjourned 'till four o'clock in the afternoon; but at that time no more than 45 Members assembled, in consequence of which the Speaker stated, that the only alternative was to adjourn, or to order the Serjeant at arms to summon the absent Members. The officer being sent upon that duty, was, on his return, examined at the bar, when he informed the Speaker, and the Members present, that at the house of Alexander Boyd, he had spoken with Mr. Whitehill, Mr. Findley, Mr. Antis, and several other Members (being the whole of the minority upon the question for calling a Convention, except Mr. Brown, who answered on going over the roll) and having informed them, that he was ordered by the Speaker and the House to desire their attendance in their places, he was answered by Mr. Whitehill, that they would not attend, as they had not made up their minds upon the subject, and it seemed to be the general disposition of the persons present, not to comply with the summons of the House. The Serjeant being questioned, said that no other persons besides the Members and Messrs M c Lean and Smilie, Members of the Executive Council, were at that time at Major Boyd's, that Mr. M c Lean asked him, who had sent him, but that Mr. Smilie was silent. — The Speaker then recapitulated to the Members the business that remained to be completed this session, which consisted chiefly of a few bills to be compared at the table, and the suite of the resolutions that had occasioned the secession. It was then moved to adjourn, when Mr. Robinson addressed himself to the chair to the following effect: — Mr. Speaker — Before we adjourn, I wish to submit a thought to the Members now assembled, that they may revolve it in their minds, and come prepared at our next meeting to decide upon its propriety. The House, this morning, sir, adopted a resolution for calling a Convention. Proceedings of this nature have not the obligation of laws, but are merely recommendatory, and may afterwards be complied with or rejected, at the pleasure of the people. Notwithstanding then, the unwarrantable secession, which has thus a second time disgraced the records of the Legislature, there are a sufficient number of us left to frame and present to our Constituents an eligible mode for conducting the election of the proposed Convention, and though it may want the authority of a quorum, the good sense of the people will not allow them to reject it on that account, if they find it in other respects salutary and convenient. I shall propose therefore, that we make the necessary arrangement at our next meeting, and under our hands and seals offer it as a tribute to the public welfare; at least, as an instrument to rescue our characters from the imputation of indulging a factious spirit, or of basely deserting our duty upon so important an occasion.
Mr. Fitzsimons added, that he hoped every gentleman present would consider himself bound to attend at the next meeting, which was appointed for next morning, at half past nine o'clock. Extract of a letter from Dublin, dated August 3. The difficult practice of lithotomy has received great improvements in the surgical world within these last seven years, by
a revival of the lateral incision which, if judiciously made, is attended with much less pain and danger to the patient than the ordinary mode. This has been happily proved by a Mr. O'Reilly, who is not long returned from Paris, where he studied under the celebrated Delepine of the Hotel Dieu. A gentleman in the county of Cavan, where Mr. O'Reilly now resides, had long labored under the grievous complaint of the stone in the bladder: but being rather delicate, and afraid of submitting to the usual operation, at length he applied to Mr. O'Reilly, who proposed opening his side and extracting the stone through the aperture. The patient from the confidence with which the operator assured him both of life and perfect safety, resolved to try the experiment, and in seven minutes was delivered from his burden with much less pain than might be expected from an incision in those parts. The gentleman is recovering fast, without any feverish or other symptoms; so that Friar James's method of cutting is likely to be established on principles of ease, dispatch, and safety, if a few more instances of success shall eventually recommend it to general notice."
EXTRACT from the JOURNAL of CONGRESS.
Monday, September 24, 1787.
On a letter of the 22d from the board of treasury, stating, that in the sales which they have made of lands in the western territory, a declaration had been made by them, previous to the sale, that the interest on the securities to be received in payment was not to be computed, and requesting to be favored with the sense of Congress, whether in payment of purchases made under the ordinance of the 20th May, 1785, interest should be computed on the principal of the securities, and received in payment on the same terms with the principal.
Resolved, That Congress approve of the declaration made by the board of treasury at the time of selling the public lands, that the interest on the securities to be received in payment should not be computed; and direct them to proceed in the same manner in future sales, issuing certificates, or indents of interest, for the interest due on the certificates paid conformably to the authority given them for the sale of the lands between the seventh range of townships and the Scioto, on the 23d day of July last.
The committee consisting of Mr. Smith, Mr. Dane, and Mr. Kean, to whom was referred the letter of John M. Pintard, requesting that sea letters be granted for the ship Columbia, and the sloop Lady Washington, bound on a voyage to the north-west coast of America, report, "That it appears to them that the ship Columbia, and the sloop Lady Washington, and their cargoes, are the property of citizens of the United States, and that they are navigated principally by inhabitants of the United States, and are bound on a voyage to the north-west coast of America;" whereupon
Resolved, That sea letters be granted in the usual form, for the ship Columbia, burthen about 220 tons, and the sloop Lady Washington, burthen about 90 tons, bound on a voyage to the north-west coast of America, under the command and direction of capt. John Kendrick.
Tuesday, September 25.
Whereas it has been represented to Congress, by the delegates of Georgia, that their country is in danger of an invasion;
Resolved, That the secretary at war deliver to the order of the delegates of Georgia, one hundred and fifty pair of horse-men's pistols, one hundred and fifty dragoon's swords, one pair of brass field pieces, three pounders, one thousand pound of gun powder, and six hundred rounds of grape and round shot for the field pieces; the state of Georgia to be accountable.

To the PUBLIC. The following Extracts may serve as a Re- commendation, &c. to Gentlemen un- acquainted with the Character or Nature of this celebrated Work.
THE valuable Treatise contains a labori- ous and acute investigation of the domestic Policy of France; illustrated with a variety of Re- marks, and hints of Improvement, the suggestions of Liberty and Humanity. M. NECKER has pre- fixed a most judicious introduction to his Work, in which he treats of the qualifications, duties and virtues of a Public Minister of the Finances, abound- ing with wholesome Maxims, among which Hene- ry is allowed the pre-eminence. M. NECKER's Chapter on War, breathes the Spirit of true Patriotic Humanity; it exhibits more, it shows him to be the Friend of Human Nature at large, and we should, with much pleasure, give the Speech he puts into the mouth of an honest Minister, supposed to be in Council when a King is advised to War on Political calculations, had we not enlarged too profusely already. The Translator of M. NECKER's Treatise, appears to have done justice to his excellent Principal; for, on the whole, the Work makes a respectable appear- ance in its English Dress.
MONTHLY REVIEW, Vol. lxix. P. 542. * It is incumbent on the Translator to convey some material heads of information to his English Readers which may serve to point out the very great Utility of this excellent Work to every Nation; and to explain and illustrate some parts of the Treatise, as well as some circumstances attending it, which not being known, might cast a veil of obscurity over a Per- formance, which ought to be as intelligent as it is eminent, especially as the great Talents of the Au- thor are acknowledged and admired by the best Men in most Nations of Europe. In the first Place, it is necessary to observe, that the general Principles of Finance laid down by M. NECKER, are not con- fined to France; they are equally applicable to every Country, whose Resources chiefly depend on Public Credit, Manufactures and Commerce: Every Page offers some great Political, Commercial or Fi- nancial Truth, or throws some new Light on the Administration of Affairs in France, which it is es- sential for every Gentleman, Merchant and Manu- facturer to know.
