"We the people, &c. [here to be inserted the constitution and resolutions, as entered on the journal of last year, September 28, 1787.] whereupon Congress, on the 28th of the same September, did resolve unanimously, "That the said report, with the resolutions and letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several legislatures, in order to be submitted to a convention of the delegates chosen in each state, by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention made and provided, in that case." And whereas the States of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, South-Carolina and Georgia, have duly ratified the aforesaid Constitution, as appears by the several acts of the said States returned to Congress, and filed in the office of the Secretary, and it is expedient that proceedings do commence thereon as early as may be, therefore," &c.
A motion was made by Mr. Tucker, seconded by Mr. Huger, to postpone the said preamble, in order to take up the following, viz. whereas the Constitution proposed by the late general convention held in the city of Philadelphia, has been ratified in the manner therein declared to be sufficient for the establishment of the same; and whereas the ratifications of the several states are to be considered as containing virtual authority and instructions to their delegates in Congress to make the preparatory arrangements recommended by the said convention to be made by Congress, therefore resolved,—and on the question to postpone for the purpose above mentioned, the yeas and nays being required by Mr. Tucker.

The order of the day being called, the preamble moved by Mr. Tucker, seconded by Mr. Huger, was read in the words following: "Whereas the constitution proposed by the late general convention held in the city of Philadelphia, has been ratified in the manner therein declared sufficient for the establishment of the same; and whereas the ratifications of the several states are to be considered as containing virtual authority and instructions to their delegates in Congress to make the preparatory arrangements recommended by the said convention to be made by Congress, therefore"
A motion was made by the delegates of North-Carolina, to amend this proposed preamble by striking out the words "and instructions to their delegates in Congress," and in lieu thereof to insert "to the United States in Congress assembled." A motion was thereupon made by Mr. Dane, seconded by Mr. Benfon, to postpone both the proposed preamble and the amendment; and on the question to postpone, the yeas and nays being required by Mr. Williamson.

AUGUST 6, 1783.
The order of the day being called for, and the act as amended for putting the constitution into operation being read as follows;
Whereas the convention assembled in Philadelphia, pursuant to the resolution of Congress of the 21st February, 1787, did, on the 17th of September, in the same year, report to the United States in Congress assembled, a constitution for the people of the United States; whereupon Congress, on the 28th of the same September, did resolve unanimously, "That the said report, with the resolutions and letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several legislatures, in order to be submitted to a convention of delegates chosen in each state by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the convention made and provided in that case;" And whereas the constitution so reported by the convention, and by Congress transmitted to the several legislatures, has been ratified in the manner therein declared to be sufficient for the establishment of the same, and such ratifications duly authenticated have been received by Congress, and are filed in the office of the Secretary—therefore resolved, That the first Wednesday in January next, be the day for appointing electors in the several states, which before the said day shall have ratified the said constitution; that the first Wednesday in February next be the day for the electors to assemble in their respective states, and vote for a president, and that the first Wednesday in March next be the time, and the town of Baltimore in the state of Maryland, the place for commencing proceedings under the said constitution.
A motion was made by Mr. Tucker, seconded by Mr. Lee, further to amend the act by striking out the words "the town of Baltimore in the state of Maryland," and inserting as follows:—and whereas a central situation would be most eligible for the sitting of the Legislature of the United States, if such could be found in a condition to furnish in due time the accommodations necessary for facilitating public business, and at the same time, free of weighty objections which might render it improper or unlikely to be the seat of government, either permanently or until a permanent seat can be agreed on: And whereas the most effectual means of obtaining finally the establishment of the federal government in a convenient central situation, is to leave the subject to the deliberate consideration of the future Congress, uninfluenced by undue attachment to any of the places which may stand in competition for preference on so interesting a question and unembarrassed by want of time and means to fix on and prepare the most proper place for this purpose: And whereas the removal of the public offices must be attended with much expense, danger and inconvenience, which ought not to be incurred but with a well founded expectation of advantages that may fully counterbalance the same: And whereas no such advantages can be expected from a removal to any place now in a condition to receive the federal legislature: And whereas in addition to the before mentioned reasons, unnecessary changes of the seat of government would be indicative of instability in the national councils, and therefore highly injurious to the interests as well as derogatory to the dignity of the United States—therefore resolved, That the city of New-York, in the state of New-York, be the place for commencing proceedings under the said constitution.
A motion was then made by Mr. Williamson, seconded by Mr. Ried, to postpone the motion before the house, in order to take up the following:
Whereas it is proper that the seat of the new Congress and of the national government, should be placed as near the centre of the Union, as may consist with present accommodation, in order that its influence and benefits may be equally felt by the great body of citizens throughout the United States, that members of Congress and other persons may approach it with equal convenience, from the opposite extremes, and that no species of partial favor may seem to have been extended to one extreme, rather than to the other; and whereas the present residence of Congress is far removed from the centre of the Union, whether population or distance are considered, since the new Congress is to consist of eight senators, from states to the Eastward of New-York, and sixteen from states to the Southward, and since there are to be only seventeen members in the house of representatives, from the Eastern states, tho' there are to be forty-two members from the Southern states: And since the distance to the seat of government in the extreme Eastern state, is hardly equal to one third of the distance to the seat of government in the most Southerly state;—And whereas it is to be desired that the new Congress may be convened in the same spirit of mutual accommodation which has hitherto appeared in all deliberations respecting the new government, and that proceedings under the said government may commence under the impressions of mutual confidence, without that general irritation and loss of time, which must attend the removal from an improper situation, and without those painful apprehensions which will naturally arise from a measure that may seem to have originated in an undue regard to local considerations—therefore, resolved, That the seat of the new Congress ought to be in some place to the Southward of New-York.
And on the question to postpone for the purposes abovenmentioned, the yeas and nays being required by Mr. Williamson.

The Inhabitants of the City of NEW-YORK
ARE respectfully informed, that the subscriber intends opening a NEW CHIMNEY OFFICE, at No. 21, Wall-street, two doors from Mr. James Livingston's. He trusts he will be able to give general satisfaction to those who may please to employ him, (signified by their becoming subscribers) as he is determined to join unremitted assiduity to the pains laid down in the following proposals, which he flatters himself will meet the approbation and encouragement of the inhabitants of this city.
1st. To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21. with foremen, to see the business performed. 2d. To allocate a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d. To oblige himself the fine laid by law, if the chimney takes fire within one month after it has been swept, by the people belonging to this office, unless the chimney be cracked, or the fire begin in some other part of the house. 4th. To render the establishment of general public utility, in case of fire, the Sweepers shall be made to attend, and perform such services as may be required of them. The above taking merits the greater attention, as it will contribute in a particular manner, to render lives safe, and prevent the destruction of property. by coal-gas, which too frequently originates in foul chimneys, occasioned, in some instances, by neglect of sweepers attending at regular periods, and in others, not knowing where to apply. Subscriptions will be thankfully received at the above place, and the plan will be begun upon the second June next. STEPHEN PATERSON. May 9. tf
