The ADDRESS and REASONS of DISSENT of the MINORITY of the CONVENTION of the STATE of PENNSYLVANIA, to their CONSTITUENTS.
[ Continued. ]
THAT the new Government will not be a confederacy of States, as it ought, but one consolidated Government, founded upon the destruction of the several Governments of the States, we shall now shew.
The powers of Congress under the new Constitution, are complete and unlimited over the purse and the sword, and are perfectly independent of, and supreme over, the State Governments; whose intervention in these great points is entirely destroyed. By virtue of their power of taxation, Congress may command the whole, or any part of the property of the people. They may impose what imposts upon commerce; they may impose what land taxes, poll taxes, excises, duties on all written instruments, and duties on every other article that they may judge proper; in short, every species of taxation, whether of an external or internal nature, is comprised in section the 8th, of article the 1st. viz. "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises, to pay the debts, and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States."
As there is no one article of taxation reserved to the State Governments, the Congress may monopolize every source of revenue, and thus indirectly demolish the State Governments, for without funds they could not exist; the taxes, duties and excises imposed by Congress may be so high as to render it impracticable to levy further sums on the same articles; but whether this should be the case or not, if the State Governments should presume to impose taxes, duties or excises, on the same articles with Congress, the latter may abrogate and repeal the laws whereby they are imposed, upon the allegation that they interfere with the due collection of their taxes, duties or excises, by virtue of the following clause, part of section 8th, article 1st. viz.
"To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof."
The Congress might gloss over this conduct by construing every purpose for which the State Legislatures now lay taxes, to be for the "general welfare," and therefore as of their jurisdiction.
And the supremacy of the laws of the United States is established by article 6th. viz. "That this Constitution and the laws of the United States, which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every State shall be bound thereby; any thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." It has been alleged that the words "pursuant to the Constitution," are a restriction upon the authority of Congress; but when it is considered that by other sections they are invested with every efficient power of Government, and which may be exercised to the absolute destruction of the State Governments, without any violation of even the forms of the Constitution, this seeming restriction, as well as every other restriction in it, appears to us to be nugatory and delusive; and only introduced as a blind upon the real nature of the Government. In our opinion, "pursuant to the Constitution," will be co-extensive with the will and pleasure of Congress, which, indeed, will be the only limitation of their powers.
We apprehend that two co-ordinate sovereignties would be a solecism in politics. That therefore as there is no line of distinction drawn between the general and State Governments, as the sphere of their jurisdiction is undefined, it would be contrary to the nature of things that both should exist together, one or the other would necessarily triumph in the fullness of dominion. However the contest could not be of long continuance, as the State Governments are divested of every means of defence, and will be obliged by "the supreme law of the land" to yield at discretion.
It has been objected to this total destruction of the State Governments, that the existence of their legislatures is made essential to the organization of Congress; that they must assemble for the appointment of the Senators and President General of the United States. True, the State Legislatures may be continued for some years, as boards of appointment, merely, after they are divested of every other function, but the framers of the Constitution foreseeing that the people will soon be disgusted with this solemn mockery of a Government without power and usefulness, have made a provision for relieving them from the imposition, in section 4th, of article 1st. viz. "The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by law, make or alter such regulations; except as to the place of choosing Senators."
As Congress have the control over the time of the appointment of the President General, of the Senators and of the Representatives of the United States, they may prolong their existence in office, for life, by postponing the time of their election and appointment, from period to period, under various pretences, such as an apprehension of invasion, the factious disposition of the people, or any other plausible pretence that the occasion may suggest; and having thus obtained life-estates in the Government, they may fill up the vacancies themselves, by their control over the mode of appointment; with this exception in regard to the Senators, that as the place of appointment for them, must, by the Constitution, be in the particular State, they may depute somebody in the respective States to fill up the vacancies in the Senate, occasioned by death, until they can venture to assume it themselves. In this manner, may the only restriction in this clause be evaded. By virtue of the foregoing section, when the spirit of the people shall be gradually broken; when the general Government shall be firmly established, and when a numerous standing army shall render opposition vain, the Congress may compleat the system of despotism, in renouncing all dependance on the people, by continuing themselves and children in the Government.
The celebrated Montesquieu, in his Spirit of Laws, vol. 1, page 12th, says, "That in a Democracy there can be no exercise of Sovereignty, but by the suffrages of the people, which are their will; now the Sovereign's will is the Sovereign himself; the laws therefore, which establish the right of suffrage, are fundamental to this Government. In fact, it is as important to regulate in a republic, in what manner, by whom, and concerning what suffrages, are to be given, as it is in a Monarchy to know who is the Prince, and after what manner he ought to govern." The time, mode and place of the election of Representatives, Senators and President General of the United States, ought not to be under the control of Congress, but fundamentally ascertained and established.
The new Constitution, consistently with the plan of consolidation, contains no reservation of the rights and privileges of the State Governments, which was made in the Confederation of the year 1778, by article the 2d. viz. "That each State retains its Sovereignty, Freedom and Independence, and every power, jurisdiction and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States in Congress assembled."

FEDERAL ANECDOTE.
A gentleman being asked why only twelve guns were discharged on announcing the ratification of the proposed Federal constitution by the State of Pennsylvania gave the following reason—because twelve States were represented in the late Federal Convention, and their system was adopted by that State, on the twelfth day of the twelfth month, in the twelfth year of the independency of America.
Yesterday arrived the sloop Maria, Captain Elliot, from Charleston. The following articles are copied from papers received by this vessel:—

Nov. 22.
By Capt. M'Lean, who arrived here on Saturday last, from the Windward Islands, we have advice, that a hurricane happened there on the 24th of last month; he was then off St. Eustatia, and afterwards went into the Danish island of St. John, where he learnt that all the shipping of St. Croix were driven ashore, except one brig that foundered at her anchors; that a great many houses and other buildings were thrown down, and numbers of lives lost; and that the sugar canes had suffered much. He also heard that the hurricane had done considerable damage at Tortola, and thinks it must have been severely felt at St. Christopher's.
About ten days ago a boy, named Kirkland, was killed and scalped by the Indians, at Nevill's Creek, on the south side of Great Ogechee, Effingham county.
KINGSTON, Nov. 3.
On Sunday afternoon, about twenty minutes after two o'clock, a severe earthquake was felt in this and the neighbouring parishes. It began with a rumbling noise, and was succeeded by concussions that resembled the explosion of distant thunder. It lasted full half a minute; but the earth was seen to undulate for some time after. The inhabitants of this town were more or less alarmed by the tottering of the houses, but we do not hear of any ill consequences. The vessels in the harbor were sensible of the agitation. We apprehend the shock has been general throughout the island, and we hope in no worse degree than in this part has been experienced; but it may not be improper to observe, that owing to the severity of the shock, the town clock and many private ones were stopped, and the church bell was observed to strike distinctly two or three times.
The earthquake was very sensibly felt at Port-Royal, and, we are assured, a young gentleman who was standing upon a dry bridge, in that town, which connected a house with the surface of the new stone wall, built in General Campbell's administration, was thrown down, by the bridge giving way, and had one of his legs broken.
From Montego-Bay we learn, that on the same Sunday afternoon on which we had the earthquake, it was felt in St. James's and the neighbouring parishes, at 20 minutes past two o'clock. It began with a rumbling noise, and lasted about ten or twelve seconds. The earth was seen to undulate some time afterwards, but we hear of no damage.
For the Daily Advertiser. The FEDERALIST, No. XXVII. To the People of the State of New-York.
IT has been urged in different shapes that a Constitution of the kind proposed by the Convention, cannot operate without the aid of a military force to execute its laws. This however, like most other things that have been alleged on that side, rests on mere general assertion; unsupported by any precise or intelligible designation of the reasons upon which it is founded. As far as I have been able to divine the latent meaning of the objectors, it seems to originate in a pre-supposition that the people will be disinclined to the exercise of Federal authority in any matter of an internal nature. Waving any exception that might be taken to the inaccuracy or inexplicitness of the distinction between internal and external, let us enquire what ground there is to pre-suppose that disinclination in the people? Unless we presume, at the same time, that the power of the General Government will be worse administered than those of the State Governments, there seems to be no room for the presumption of ill will, disaffection or opposition in the people. I believe it may be laid down as a general rule, that their confidence in and obedience to a Government, will commonly be proportioned to the goodness or badness of its administration. It must be admitted that there are exceptions to this rule; but these exceptions depend entirely on accidental causes, that they cannot be considered as having any relation to the intrinsic merits or demerits of a Constitution. These can only be judged of by general principles and maxims.
Various reasons have been suggested in the course of these papers, to induce a probability that the General Government will be better administered than the particular Governments: The principal of which reasons are that the extension of the spheres of election will present a greater option, or latitude of choice to the people; that through the medium of the State Legislatures, which are select bodies of men, and who are to appoint the members of the national Senate, —there is reason to expect that this branch will generally be composed with peculiar care and judgment; that these circumstances promise greater knowledge and more extensive information in the national councils; and that they will be less apt to be tainted by the spirit of faction, and more out of the reach of those occasional ill humors or temporary prejudices and propensities, which in smaller societies frequently contaminate the public councils, beget injustice and oppression of a part of the community, and engender schemes, which though they gratify a momentary inclination or desire, terminate in general distress, dissatisfaction and disgust. Several additional reasons of considerable force, to fortify that probability, will occur when we come to survey with a more critic eye, the interior structure of the edifice, which we are invited to erect. It will be sufficient here to remark, that until satisfactory reasons can be assigned to justify an opinion, that the federal government is likely to be administered in such a manner as to render it odious or contemptible to the people, there can be no reasonable foundation for the supposition, that the laws of the Union will meet with any greater obtrusion from them, or will stand in need of any other methods to enforce their execution, than the laws of the particular members.
The hope of impunity is a strong excitement to sedition; the dread of punishment, a proportionately strong discouragement to it. Will not the government of the Union, which, if possessed of a due degree of power, can to its aid the collective resources of the whole confederacy, be more likely to repress the former sentiment, and to inspire the latter, than that of a single State, which can only command the resources within itself? A turbulent faction in a State may easily suppose itself able to contend with the friends to the government in that State; but it can hardly be so infatuated as to imagine itself a match for the combined efforts of the Union. If this reflection be just, there is less danger of resistance from irregular combinations of individuals, to the authority of the confederacy, than to that of a single member.
I will in this place hazard an observation which will not be the less just, because to some it may appear new; which is, that the more the operations of the national authority are intermingled in the ordinary exercise of government; the more the citizens are accustomed to meet with it in the common occurrences of their political life; the more it is familiarized to their sight and to their feelings; the further it enters into those objects which touch the most sensible cords, and put in motion the most active springs of the human heart; the greater will be the probability that it will conciliate the respect and attachment of the community.—Man is very much a creature of habit. A thing that rarely strikes his senses will generally have but little influence upon his mind. A government continually at a distance and out of sight, can hardly be expected to interest the sensations of the people. The interference is, that the authority of the Union, and the affections of the citizens towards it; will be strengthened rather than weakened by its extension to what are called matters of internal concern; and will have less occasion to recur to force in proportion to the familiarity and comprehensiveness of its agency. The more it circulates through those channels and currents, in which the passions of mankind naturally flow, the less will it require the aid of the violent and perilous expedients of compulsion.
One thing, at all events, must be evident, that a Government like the one proposed, would bid much fairer to avoid the necessity of using force, than that species of league contended for by most of its opponents; the authority of which should only operate upon the States in their political collective capacities. It has been shewn, that in such a Confederacy there can be no sanction for the laws but force; that frequent delinquencies in the members are the natural offspring of the very frame of the Government; and that as often as these happen, they can only be redressed, if at all, by war and violence.
The plan reported by the Convention, by extending the authority of the federal head to the individual citizens of the several States, will enable the Government to employ the ordinary magistracy of each in the execution of its laws. It is easy to perceive that this will tend to destroy, in the common apprehension, all distinction between the sources from which they might proceed; and will give the Federal Government the same advantage for securing a due obedience to its authority, which is ev-

joyed by the Government of each State; in addition to the influence upon the public opinion which will result from the important consideration of its having power to call to its assistance and support, the resources of the whole Union. It merits particular attention, in this place, that the laws of the confederacy, as to the enumerated and legitimate objects of its jurisdiction, will become the SUPREME LAW of the land; to the observance of which, all officers, legislative, executive, and judicial, in each State, will be bound by the sanctity of an oath. Thus the Legislatures, courts, and magistrates of the respective members, will be incorporated into the operations of the national Government; and, as far as its just and constitutional authority extends, will be rendered auxiliary to the enforcement of its laws. Any man who will pursue, by his own reflections, the consequences of this situation, will perceive that there is good ground to calculate upon a regular and peaceable execution of the laws of the Union, if its powers are administered with a common share of prudence and circumspection. If we will arbitrarily suppose the contrary, we may deduce any inference we please from the supposition; for it is certainly possible, by an injudicious exercise of the authorities of the best Government, that ever was or ever can be instituted, to provoke and precipitate the people into the wildest excesses. But though the adversaries of the proposed constitution should presume the national rulers to be insensible to the motives of public good, or to the obligations of duty; I would still ask them, How the interests of ambition, or the views of encroachment, can be promoted by such a conduct?

A CAUTION to OWNERS and MASTERS of VESSELS, THAT they beware of rigging which is made of Holland yarn; for it is made in great quantities and exposed to sale, to the hurt of the buyer. It is of such a base quality, that it is not sufficient for cables or rigging of any kind: it is spun and dressed off in such a manner, as makes it difficult for the buyer to know it from the best rope. In order to try its evil quality, let the buyer take a few yards of the fag end of the rope, and open them into hemp, and if it prove to be short tow, you may take it for granted to be Holland yarn; which is spun of short tow and refuse of the hemp, that is manufactured into fair-cloth in Holland. N.B. If it should be enquired who are the promoters of this caution, be it known that we are a company of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. tf New-York, Nov. 8.

ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Warehouse of MAHOGANY and other FURNITURE, on a more extensive plan than heretofore; and for the convenience of strangers and others, who may resort to, or settle in this city, he means to keep an assortment where they may be supplied on the shortest notice; for it must hurt the feelings of every citizen to observe the daily importations strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a conspicuous character in his way, and esteemed one of the best workmen in this city; and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Woods, and means to employ the best hands, and sell his work at the lowest rate good work falls at, he flatters himself with being able to give satisfaction to his customers. Bed Chairs for the sick having been much wanted in this city, said Burling has provided some to let. Nov. 20. tf.
