PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 5.
On Monday last a Portuguese sailor was murdered in Water-Street; several of the crew belonging to a vessel lately arrived from Bristol, have been committed to the gaol of this city on suspicion that they were the perpetrators of this barbarous action.
From the scarcity of business, it is expected that the present session of the General Assembly will be the shortest that has yet been. No bills of an important public nature have yet been offered to the attention of the house.
HARTFORD, Oct. 29.
A correspondent observes, it is a circumstance much to the honor of Connecticut, that we are the first State in the Union, who, having received the new Constitution in the regular channel, have coolly and deliberately, without any disturbance or commotion, taken the proper measures for calling a State Convention, and determining upon the new plan of Government. The Convention are to meet for the most important purpose that can command the attention of any people. The question they are to resolve is no less than this: Shall Union render us respectable and happy, or shall discord and division make us weak, contemptible and wretched? For resolving this important question, those ought to be appointed, whose tried abilities and integrity entitle them to the full confidence of the people.
New-York, Nov. 9.
On the 30th ult. agreeable to general orders, the regiment of Militia commanded by Major Samuel Mansfield, and the independent company of Artillery commanded by Captain Daniel Gano, were reviewed, at Hudson, by Adjutant General Fish, who was saluted with thirteen discharges from the Artillery, as he passed along the line. After the review, the company of Artillery, in front of the regiment, performed several military manœuvres and firings with two field-pieces. The military conduct of both officers and men, and their spirited exertions in equipping themselves as Artillerists, met the fullest approbation of the Adjutant General, and the applause of all ranks of spectators.
On the 25th ult. Mr. Hamilton Bishop, of Hudson, cordwainer, put a period to his existence by stabbing himself with his knife. The coroner's inquest being summoned, sat on the body, and, after hearing the evidences, &c. brought in their verdict, Lunacy . Mr. Bishop had for some time past been uneasy in his mind, at intervals, but has always been attentive to his business, till the morning he committed the horrid deed, when he appeared to be careless and inattentive.
A letter from Providence, dated October 25, says, "On Monday last was replaced in the belfry of the Baptist meeting-house in this town, a large and noble Bell, weighing two thousand three hundred and eighty seven pounds, lately recast at the furnace Hope, in Scituate in this State, about 12 miles from this town, with the assistance of Mr. Jesse Goodier, bell-founder, of Connecticut. This is the largest bell ever cast in New-England, and furnishes an additional proof, that there is no kind of manufacture but what may be carried to as full perfection in this country as in Europe, notwithstanding the predilection which some have in favor of foreign productions, to the injury of their native country."
We hear, that last week one Hills, of East Hartford, in New-Hampshire, a young man, who with others had been building and loading a vessel, in executing which he met with much difficulty, and who had grown very pensive, left his bed very early on Monday morning, and some time after was found dead in the barn, having hung himself. A paper which he left, directed to his brother, contained these words— Promise no more than you can pay —giving directions relative to the business in which he had been engaged, and bidding him adieu. The jury's verdict was wilful murder.
Mr. Oliver Evans, of Red-clay Creek, near Wilmington, in Newcastle county, Delaware, hath constructed a Merchant MILL, now in use, so as to receive the wheat at the tail of the waggon, and hoist and clean it as often over as necessary, and convey it into the stones, and grind, hoist, spread, and cool the meal completely; and attend the bolting hopper regularly, done by machinery (of his own invention) without the least manual labor, and but very little attendance. The bolting is more completely done than is possible in the common way; the machinery so simple, cheap and durable, that the meal they save from waste will more than build and keep them in repair for ever. They are found by experience to suit all sorts of weather. Said Mill formerly required three hands to attend her, but now one attends her night and day, steady running, with very little assistance. He fixes his bed within reach of the meal spout (convenient to regulate the grinding)
blows out his light and seldom rises or lights it again, until morning (except to regulate the bolting in case of changeable weather). In the morning his flour is ready for packing, which, with dressing the stones, constitutes almost the whole of his work.
At a meeting of the Freeholders and inhabitants of the town of Fredericksburg, Virginia, on Saturday, the 19th of October, 1787,
James Somerville was chosen President. A COPY of the Constitution which the Convention framed, and submitted to the United States in Congress assembled, being read, and unanimously approved of; thereupon, It was Resolved , To draw up instructions to JAMES MUNROE, and JOHN DAWSON, Esquires, delegates for the country of Spotsylvania. The following is a copy of what was prepared, read, and approved of, and signed by every inhabitant present:
At a meeting of the Freeholders and Inhabitants of Fredericksburg, on the 19th of October, 1787.
THE Federal Constitution being read and maturely considered, it was unanimously approved of, and resolved, that our delegates for the county of Spotsylvania should be instructed in the following words:
To John Dawson and James Munroe, Esquires.
WE, the freeholders and inhabitants of the town and corporation of Fredericksburg, convinced of the inefficacy of our present form of Government and of the propriety of immediately adopting the system of Government recommended by the general Convention of the United States; and that the safety, prosperity and happiness of Virginia, as well as the other States, depend greatly thereon:—We, therefore, direct you, our Representatives, to declare, that this is the opinion of your constituents in this corporation; and that we request an immediate recommendation may be made from the Legislature of this State, to submit the same to a Convention of Delegates, chosen by the freeholders thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the Convention in that case made and provided.
At a meeting of a number of the inhabitants of the town of Petersburg (Virginia) and its vicinity, at Mr Hare's tavern, on Wednesday, October 24, 1787, to take into consideration the Federal Constitution, proposed by the late General Convention, Colonel Banister , in the Chair.
THE proposed Constitution was read. Whereupon it was resolved unanimously, That being fully impressed with the incompetency of the powers of Congress for the essential objects of Government, and feeling the absolute necessity of an immediate review and amendment of the Confederation, this meeting with much satisfaction beheld a general Convention of Deputies assembled for that purpose, composed of characters the most distinguished for experience, abilities, and integrity.
That sensible as we are of the vast difficulty of forming such a plan of Government, as shall at once combine the diversity of interests, and secure the rights of the respective States, subject to the general control of one sovereign authority, we view with admiration and gratitude, the wisdom, unanimity and magnanimous spirit of accommodation, displayed by the late Convention in the prosecution of the arduous object of their appointment.
That a work of such momentous import, framed by our best and wisest characters, upon the most ample deliberation and discussion, and founded upon the most enlarged principles and extensive information, deserves to be received with every mark of consideration and respect; and we are anxiously desirous that a State Convention be immediately called, as we conceive every delay unworthy of the magnitude of the object, and incompatible with the urgency of our public affairs.
That we approve of the proposed plan of the Federal Constitution, as formed to cement the Union of the States—to establish vigor and confidence in Government; to extend an uniform administration of justice; to promote the general interests of commerce; and to secure respect abroad and peace at home; and that should it even be supposed that in some lesser matters the exclusive interest of this state may not have been particularly considered, yet we are free to declare, that we have not any possible hope, that under the circumstances of the several States, a better Federal Constitution can ever be obtained; nor have we any the smallest expectation that the like exertion of such eminent qualifications can ever again be commanded for a similar purpose; deeming it certain, that there remains now for the United States this only alternative, either by a speedy adoption of the proposed Constitution, to become a great and respectable nation, or by rejecting it, to precipitate the dissolution of Union, exposed to insult and contempt, from without, to wars and dissensions from within.
That these resolutions be forwarded to the Delegates of Dinwiddie and Prince George, who are requested to use their in-
fluence for immediately calling a Convention to be held at as early a day as circumstances will possibly admit.
To the Citizens of the State of New-York.
ADMITTING, however, that the vast extent of America, together with the various other reasons which I offered you in my last number, against the practicability of the just exercise of the new Government, are insufficient to convince you; still it is an undeniable truth, that its several parts are either possessed of principles, which you have heretofore considered as ruinous, and that others are omitted which you have established as fundamental to your political security; and must in their operation, I will venture to assert, forest your tongues and minds, enchain your bodies, and ultimately extinguish all that is great and noble in man.
In pursuance of my plan, I shall begin with observations on the Executive branch of this new system; and though it is not the first in order, as arranged therein, yet being the chief , is perhaps entitled by the rules of rank to the first consideration. The Executive Power, as described in the 2d article, consists of a President and Vice-President, who are to hold their offices during the term of four years. The same article has marked the manner and time of their election, and established the qualifications of the President: it also provides against the removal, death, or inability of the President and Vice President; regulates the salary of the President; delineates his duties and powers; and, lastly, declares the causes for which the President and Vice-President shall be removed from office.
Notwithstanding the great learning and abilities of the gentlemen who composed the Convention, it may be here remarked with deference, that the construction of the first paragraph of the first section of the second article is vague and inexplicit, and leaves the mind in doubt, as to the election of a President and Vice-President, after the expiration of the election for the first term of four years. In every other case, the election of these great officers is expressly provided for; but there is no explicit provision for their election in case of the expiration of their offices, subsequent to the election which is to set this political machine in motion; no certain and express terms, as in your State Constitution, that statedly once in every four years, and as often as these offices shall become vacant, by expiration or otherwise, as is therein expressed, an election shall be held as follows, &c.—This inexplicitness perhaps may lead to an establishment for life.
It is remarked by Montesquieu, in treating of republics, that in all magistracies, the greatness of the power must be compensated by the brevity of the duration; and that a longer time than a year, would be dangerous . It is therefore obvious to the least intelligent mind, to account why great power in the hands of a magistrate, and that power connected with a considerable duration, may be dangerous to the liberties of a Republic—the deposit of vast trusts in the hands of a single Magistrate, enables him, in their exercise, to create a numerous train of dependants—this tempts his ambition , which in a Republican Magistrate is also remarked to be pernicious , and the duration of his office for any considerable time favors his views, gives him the means and time to perfect and execute his designs—he therefore fancies that he may be great and glorious by oppressing his fellow citizens, and raising himself to permanent grandeur on the ruins of his country .—And here it may be necessary to compare the vast and important powers of the President, together with his continuance in office with the foregoing doctrine.—His eminent magisterial situation will attach many adherents to him, and he will be surrounded by expectants and courtiers—his power of nomination and influence on all appointments—the strong posts in each State comprised within his superintendence, and garrisoned by troops under his direction—his control over the army, militia, and navy—the unrestrained power of granting pardon for treason, which may be used to screen from punishment those whom he had secretly instigated to commit the crime, and thereby prevent a discovery of his own guilt—his duration in office for four years: these, and various other principles evidently prove the truth of the position—that if the President is possessed of ambition, he has power and time sufficient to ruin his country.
Though the President, during the sitting of the Legislature, is assisted by the Senate, yet he is without a Constitutional Council in their recess—he will therefore be unsupported by proper information and advice, and will generally be directed by minions and favorites, or a Council of State will grow out of the principal officers of the great departments, the most dangerous Council in a free country.
The ten miles square, which is to become the seat of Government, will of course be the place of residence for the President and the great officers of State—the same observations of a great man will apply to
the Court of a President possessing the powers of a Monarch, that is observed of that of a Monarch— ambition with idleness—baseness with pride—the thirst of riches without labor—aversion to truth—flattery—treason—perfidy—violation of engagements—contempt of civil duties—hope from the Magistrates weakness; but above all, the perpetual ridicule of virtue —these, he remarks, are the characteristies by which the Courts in all ages have been distinguished.
The language and the manners of this Court will be what distinguishes them from the rest of the community, not what assimilates them to it, and in being remarked for a behavior that shews they are not meanly born , and in adulation to people of fortune and power.
The establishment of a Vice-President is as unnecessary as it is dangerous. This officer, for want of other employment, is made President of the Senate, thereby blending the Executive and Legislative powers, besides always giving to some one State from which he is to come, an unjust pre-eminence.
It is a maxim in Republics, that the representative of the people should be of their immediate choice: but by the manner in which the President is chosen, he arrives to this office at the fourth or fifth hand, nor does the highest votes in the way he is elected, determine the choice—for it is only necessary that he should be taken from the highest of five, who may have a plurality of votes.
Compare your past opinions and sentiments with the present proposed establishment, and you will find, that if you adopt it, that it will lead you into a system which you heretofore reprobated as odious. Every American whig, for long since, bore his emphatic testimony against a Monarchical Government, though limited, because of the dangerous inequality that it created among citizens as relative to their rights and property; and when in does this President, invested with his powers and prerogatives, officially differ from the King of Great Britain (save as to name, creation of nobility and some immaterial incidents, the offspring of absurdity and locality) the direct prerogatives of the President, as springing from his political character, are among the following:—It is necessary, in order to distinguish him from the rest of the community, and enable him to keep, and maintain, his court, that the compensation for his services, or in other words, his revenue should be such as to enable him to appear with the splendor of a Prince; he has the power of receiving Ambassadors from, and a great influence on their appointments to foreign Courts; as also to make treaties, leagues, and alliances with foreign states, assented by the Senate, which when made, become the supreme law of the land: he is a constituent part of the Legislative power; for every bill which shall pass the House of Representatives and Senate, is to be presented to him for approbation; if he approves of it, he is to sign it, if he disapproves, he is to return it with objections, which in many cases will amount to a complete negative; and in this view he will have a great share in the power of making peace, coining money, &c. and all the various objects of legislation, expressed or implied in this Constitution: for though it may be asserted that the King of Great Britain has the express power of making peace or war, yet he never thinks it prudent to do without the advice of his Parliament, from whom he is to derive his support, and therefore these powers, in both President and King, are substantially the same: he is the Generalissimo of the nation; and of course, has the command and control of the army, navy and militia; he is the general Conservator of the peace of the Union—he may pardon all offences, except in cases of impeachment, and is the principal fountain of all offices and employments. Will not the exercise of these powers therefore tend either to the establishment of a vile and arbitrary Aristocracy, or Monarchy? The safety of the people in a Republic depends on the share or proportion they have in the government; but experience ought to teach you, that when a man is at the head of an elective government invested with great powers, and interested in his re-election, in what circle appointments will be made; by which means an imperfect Aristocracy , bordering on Monarchy may be established.
You must, however, my countrymen, beware, that the advocates of this new system do not deceive you, by a fallacious resemblance between it and your own State Government, which you so much prize; and if you examine, you will perceive that the Chief Magistrate of this State, is your immediate choice, controlled and checked by a just and full representation of the people, divested of the prerogative of influencing war and peace, making treaties, receiving and sending Embassies, and commanding standing armies and navies, which belong to the power of the Confederation, and will be convinced that this government is no more like a true picture of your own, than an Angel of darkness resembles an Angel of light.

New-York AIR FURNACE. PETER T. CURTENIUS and CO. have repairs the New-York Air Furnace, and have procured the best workmen, together with the ne- cessary apparatus to carry on the Manufactory of Cast Iron in the completest and best manner. Callings made in an Air Furnace, are al- lowed by all who are acquainted with the nature of Pounderies, 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 Callings are made out of the first melting 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 shutts: the differ- ence, in short, is nearly the same as there is be- 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 be- ing as good as that of the foreign, is a sufficient inducement, for an American, to give the preference to the manu- factures of his own country; but a more powerful ar- gument 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 callings. 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, skil- kettles, griddles, porash kettles and coolers, whaling kettles, boiler for fallow-chandlers and sugar-works, stoves for sugar-bakers, mill-cases, cast bars for su- gar-works and distilleries, rollers and shears for sit- ting-mills, chimney-backs, hearth and jamb plates, cast agreeable to any pattern that may be sent; close stoves for work-shops, Franklin stoves nearly deco- rated with carved work. Bath stove-gates elegantly ornamented with carvings, ship's caudrons of the new construction, with bake ovens in them, in which the same fire that roasts and boils the meat, bakes the bread; millstones and pudgeons, saw-mill cranks, calcining plates for making pearlash, cast iron crews for fulling and paper-mills, fullers plates cast to any size that may be wanted, fash-weights, forge- hammers and anvils, plow-plates, half-hundreds, quarters, fourteen and seven pound weights; cart, waggon, coach, phaeton, chair and fulkey 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.
