the intercourse throughout the Union, will be daily facilitated by new improvements. Roads will every where be shortened, and kept in better order; accommodations for travellers will be multiplied and meliorated; an interior navigation on our Eastern side will be opened throughout, or nearly throughout the whole extent of the Thirteen States; the communication between the Western and Atlantic districts, and between different parts of each, will be rendered more and more easy by those numerous canals with which the beneficence of nature has interspersed our country, and which art finds it so little difficult to connect and compleat.
A fourth and still more important consideration is, that as almost every State will, on one side or other be a frontier, and will thus find in a regard to its safety, an inducement to make some sacrifices for the sake of the general protection; so the States which lie at the greatest distance from the heart of the Union, and which of course may partake least of the ordinary circulation of its benefits, will be at the same time immediately contiguous to foreign nations, and will consequently stand on particular occasions, in greatest need of its strength and resources. It may be inconvenient for Georgia, or the States forming our Western and North-eastern borders, to send their Representatives to the seat of Government; but they would find it more so to struggle alone against an invading enemy, or even to support alone the whole expence of those precautions, which may be dictated by the neighbourhood of continual danger. If they should derive less benefit therefore from the Union in some respects, than the less distant States, they will derive a greater benefit from it in other respects, and thus the proper equilibrium will be maintained throughout.
I submit to you my fellow-citizens, these considerations, in full confidence, that the good sense which has so often marked your decisions, will allow them their due weight and effect, and that you will never suffer difficulties, however formidable in appearance, or however fashionable the error on which they may be founded, to drive you into the gloomy and perilous scenes into which the advocates of disunion would conduct you. Harkn not to the unnatural voice which tells you that the people of America, knit together as they are, by so many cords of affection, can no longer live together as members of the same family; can no longer continue the mutual guardians of their mutual happiness; can no longer be fellow citizens of one great, respectable and flourishing empire. Harkn not to the voice which petulantly tells you, that the form of Government recommended for your adoption, is a novelty in the political world; that it has never yet had a place in the theories of the wildest projectors; that it rashly attempts what it is impossible to accomplish. No, my countrymen: shut your ears against this unhallowed language: shut your hearts against the poison which it conveys. The kindred blood which flows in the veins of American citizens; the mingled blood which they have shed in common defence of their dearest rights, consecrate their Union, and create horror at the idea of their becoming aliens, rivals, enemies. And if novelties are to be shunned, believe me the most alarming of all novelties, the most absurd of all projects, the most rash of all attempts, is that of rending us in pieces, in order to preserve our liberties and promote our happiness. But why is the experiment of an extended Republic to be rejected, merely because it comprises what is new? Is it not the glory of the people of America, that whilst they have paid a decent regard to the opinions of former times, and other nations, they have not suffered a blind veneration for antiquity, for custom, or for names, to over-rule the suggestions of their own good sense, the knowledge of their own situation, and the lessons of their own experience? To this manly spirit, posterity will be indebted for the possession, and the world for the example of the numerous innovations displayed on the American theatre, in favor of private rights and public happiness. Had no important step been taken by the leaders of the Revolution for which a precedent could not be discovered; no Government established, of which an exact model did not present itself; the people of the United States might at this moment, have been numbered among the melancholy victims of misguided Councils; must at best, have been laboring under the weight of some of those forms which have crushed the liberties of the rest of mankind. Happily for America, happily we trust, for the whole human race, they pursued a new and more noble course: they accomplished a Revolution which has no parallel in the annals of human society: they reared the fabrics of Governments, which had no model on the face of the globe: they formed the design of a great Confederacy, which it is incumbent on their successors to improve and perpetuate. If their works betray imperfections, we wonder at the fewness of them. If they erred most in the structure of the Union; this was the work most difficult to be executed: this is the work which has been new modelled by the act of your Convention, and it is that
act on which you are now to deliberate and to decide.

The Weaknesses of Brutus exposed: By a Citizen of Philadelphia. Continued from our paper of Monday last.
Now come to consider the grand proposition which Brutus sets out with, concludes with, and interlards all along, and which seems to be the great gift of his performance, viz. That a confederation of the Thirteen States into one great republic is not best for them; and goes on to prove by a variety of arguments, that a republican form of Government is not compatible, and cannot be convenient to so extensive a territory as the said States possess. He begins by taking one assumption for granted (for I can't see that his arguments prove it all) viz. That the Constitution proposed will melt down and destroy the jurisdiction of the particular States, and consolidate them all into one great republic.
I can't see the least reason for this sentiment; nor the least tendency in the new Constitution to produce this effect. For the Constitution does not suffer the Federal powers to control in the least, or so much as to interfere in the internal policy, jurisdiction, or municipal rights of any particular State; except where great and manifest national purposes and interests make that control necessary. It appears very evident to me, that the Constitution gives an establishment, support, and protection to the internal and separate police of each State, under the superintendency of the Federal powers, which it could not possibly enjoy in an independent State. Under the confederation each State derives strength, firmness, and permanency from its compact with the other States.---Like a slave in a cask well bound with hoops, it stands firmer, is not so easily shaken, bent, or broken, as it would be were it set up by itself alone, without any connection with its neighbours.
There can be no doubt that each State will receive from the Union great support and protection against the invasions and inroads of foreign enemies, as well as against riots and insurrections of their own citizens; and of consequence the course of their internal administration will be secured by this means against any interruption or embarrassment from either of these causes.
They will also derive their share of benefit from the respectability of the Union abroad, from the treaties and alliances which may be made with foreign nations, &c.
Another benefit they will receive from the control of the supreme power of the Union is this, viz. they will be restrained from making angry, oppressive, and destructive laws, from declaring ruinous wars with their neighbours, from fomenting quarrels and controversies, &c. all which ever weaken a State, tend to its fatal disorder, and often end in its dissolution. Righteousness exalts and strengthens a nation; but sin is a reproach and weakness of any people.
They will indeed have the privilege of oppressing their own citizens by bad laws or bad administration; but the moment the mischief extends beyond its own State, and begins to affect the citizens of other States, strangers, or the national welfare, the salutary control of the supreme power will check the evil, and restore strength and security, as well as honesty and right, to the offending State.
It appears then very plain, that the natural effect and tendency of the supreme powers of the Union is to give strength, establishment, and permanency to the internal police and jurisdiction of each of the particular States; not to melt down and destroy, but to support and confirm them all.
By what sort of assurance, then, can Brutus tell us that the new Constitution, if executed, must certainly and infallibly terminate in a consolidation of the whole, into one great Republic, subverting all the State authorities. His only argument is, that the Federal powers may be corrupted, abused, and misapplied, 'till this effect shall be produced. 'Tis true, that the Constitution, like every other on earth, committed to human management, may be corrupted by a bad administration, and be made to operate to the destruction of the very capital benefits and uses, which were the great end of its institution. The same argument will prove with equal cogency, that the Constitution of each particular State, may be corrupted in practice, become tyrannical and inimical to liberty. In short the argument proves too much, and therefore proves nothing: 'tis empty, childish, and futile, and a serious proposal of it, is, I conceive, an affront to the human understanding.
But after all, supposing this event should take place, and by some strange fatality, the several States should be melted, down, and merged in the great commonwealth, in the form of counties, or districts, I don't see why a commonwealth mode of Government, would not be as suitable and convenient for the great State, as any other form whatever; I cannot see any sufficient ground of reason, for the position pretty often and boldly ad-
vanced, that a republican form of Government can never be suitable for any nation of extensive territory, and numerous population: for if Congress can be chosen by the several States, though under the form and name of counties, or election districts, and be in every respect instituted as directed by the new Constitution, I don't see but we shall have as suitable a national Council, as wise a legislative, and as strong and safe an executive power, as can be obtained under any form of Government whatever; let our territory be ever so extensive or populous.

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 quanti- ties 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 yarns 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 re-use of the hemp, that is manufactured in- to sail-cloth in Holland. N. B. If it should be enquired who are the pro- moters of this caution, be it known that we are a com- pany of rope-makers, who think it too tedious to insert our names here. New-York, Nov. 8.
THOMAS BURLING, CABINET and CHAIR-MAKER, At the Sign of the Chair, near the Chapel, in Beck- man-street, formerly Chapel-street. ACKNOWLEDGES the many favors received from his friends and the public, and would wish to inform them that he has opened a Ware-Room of MAHOGANY and other FURNITURE, on a more ex- tensive plan than heretofore; and for the conveni- ence 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 ob- serve the daily importations strangers are liable to, in purchasing new furniture at these public vendues. He served his time with Samuel Prince, a confi- dential workman in his way, and esteemed one of the best character in this city; and as he has laid in a stock of the best Mahogany and other Wood, and means to employ the best hands, and tell 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. 10.

SMITH begs leave to recommend to ladies, his highly improved Milk of Roses, for beautifying the skin; it is by far the best Cosmetic in the world, be- ing the proprietor of it, he can vouch for its inno- cence, for cleansing and cleaning the skin from hard pimples, scurf for tan, rendering it quite soft, deli- cate and fair; half dollar and one dollar per bottle, or three dollars per quart. He cannot be answerable for any Milk of Roses but what he prepares himself, with his label upon the bottle; therefore Ladies can- not be too particular in asking for N. SMITH's Milk of Roses; for that as well as many more articles are imported under titles they are not deserving of. LIKEWISE may be had as above, SMITH's super- fine English white Hair Powders, Pomatums, Wash- Balls, Shaving Soaps and Boxes, Lavender Waters, Essence of Bergamot, Lemon and Lavender; Con- cave Razors, warranted Razor Straps, Powder Bags and Puffs, Rollers, Horn and Tortoise-shell Combs, Black Pins of all kinds.

Dr. RYAN's incomparable Worm destroying SUGAR PLUMBS, Highly necessary to be kept in all Families, SO exceedingly valued by all people who have had of them in Great-Britain and Ireland, for their transcendent excellency in the destroying Worms of all kinds, both in the bodies of men, women, and children, by not only breaking the knots in the du- odenum, or gut next the stomach, but they pass through the smallest passages of the body, and purge away thoseropy and slimy humours which are the cause of those pernicious vermin, and the source of many other disorders. They are one of the best purges in the whole world for gross-bodied children that are apt to breed worms, and have large bellies; their operation is mild, safe, and pleasant; they wonderfully cleanse the bowels of all stiff and clam- my humours which stop up the parts, and prevent the juice of food from being conveyed to the liver and made blood, which is often the case with children, and is attended with a hard belly, stinking breath, frequent fevers, rickets, and a decay of strength, in the lower parts; likewise settled aches and pains in the head, swellings, old sores, scabs, tetter, or breaking out, will be perfectly cured, and the blood and skin restored to its original purity and smooth- ness; they purge by urine, and bring away the gra- vel, and effectually cure all obstructions of the urine, or ulcers in the kidneys. They at once strike at the true cause of the scurvy, and entirely destroy it, and all scorbutic humours and effects, root and branch, so as never to return again; and what makes them more commendable is, they are full as agreeable to both taste and light, as loaf sugar; and in their operation, as innocent as new milk. I have by these plumbs cured a great many chil- dren of a whooping-cough, chin-coughs, and agues, which dittensers are very common and troublesome to fam- ilies, and the want of these plumbs are the rain of many children's constitutions. These plumbs enrich and sweeten the whole mass of blood, carry off all gross, corrupt, and putrid hu- mours, and create a fresh and healthy complexion in such as are affected in any putrid matter. The plumb is a great diuretick, cleaning the reins of urine; it expels wind, and is a sovereign medi- cine in the cholick and griping of the guts; it allays and carries off four vapours, which occasion many disorders in the head; it opens all obstructions in the stomach, lungs, liver, reins, and bladder, caus- es a good appetite, and helps digestion. It has been found wonderfully successful to such persons as are going into chronicall dittensers, as asthma, phthisicks, or shortness of breath, droppies and yel- low jaundice. Now I hope all impartial persons are satisfied that the medicine which works upon such humours, will almost reach any dittensper, if not too far gone, since corruption and purification are the fore-runners of all diseases; therefore, no better physic can be taken for all ages, sexes, and consti- tutions, from infancy to an old age. These plumbs are highly serviceable to the female sex, from the age of 14 to 20, and from 40 to 50. Each box con- tains one dozen of these plumbs.---Price Eight Shil- lings, with directions. Sold by H. GAINE, at his Book-store and Printing Office, in Hanover-Square, Diagnofick signs of Worms.
PALENESS in the face, itching of the nose, hol- lowness of the eyes, grating of the teeth when asleep, dulness, pains and heaviness in the head, a dry cough, itching in the fundament, white and thick urine, inquietude, often starting, lost appe- tite, swelled belly, knowing and biting about the stomach, frightful dreams, extreme thirst, the bo- dy decayed and lean, his, often vomiting, flanking breath, &c. Directions for taking them.

In agues, the same quantity must be taken, 2, 3, or 4 hours before the fits comes on, and be repeated three times. In whooping or chin-coughs, give the quantity above-mentioned. June 1. 32v. if.
