GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
A motion having been made, and negatived, at a former session, for calling a Convention, to take into consideration, and decide upon the proposed Constitution of the United States of America, as recommended by the Convention held at Philadelphia in May last: A new motion was now made from that part of the House by whom the former question had been negatived, "That the proposed Constitution should be submitted to the people at large." It was opposed, because it differed from the mode recommended by the Convention who formed the Constitution, and which mode had been adopted by all the States, that the subject would receive a full and satisfactory discussion in a Convention, but this could not be expected in town meetings.
It was asked, if the Constitution should be rejected by the people, could a Convention be called? It was agreed it could not be done; but if the people should adopt it, their ratification would not be valid, consequently a Convention must be called, and might not that Convention act counter to the determination of the people? Notwithstanding the absurdity of this mode appeared in the most glaring colors, and the most important consequences were connected with an adoption or rejection of it, they continued tenacious of the motion, supposing it with this idea, that the Assembly were not empowered to call a Convention, it being with the people only to decide on a Constitution. And upon the question, "shall it be submitted to a Convention or to town-meetings?" there were 25 for calling a Convention, and 43 for submitting it to the people.
The Assembly afterwards passed the Act, a paragraph from which appeared in yesterday's paper.]
The following TALK from the ONEIDA Nation of INDIANS, was lately received by the Legislature of this State: —
Brothers, Chiefs and Great Men, who sit round the council fire of our Brethren, the People of the State of New-York, attend.
Brothers, We have come thus far on our way to see you at your council fire, but the roads are already become very bad, and the prospect of their soon being worse induces us to return, and to speak to you in writing.
Brothers, We are your allies, we are a free people, our Chiefs have directed us to speak to you, as such therefore, open your ears and hear our words.
Brothers, In your late wars with the people on the other side of the Great Water, and at a period when thick darkness overspread this country, your Brothers the Oneidas stepped forth, and uninvited, took up the hatchet in your defence; we fought by your side, our blood flowed together, and the bones of our Warriors mingled with yours; you appeared grateful for our attachment, and gave us repeated assurances, that should the Great Spirit give you success, we should be made to rejoice. The event of the war was favorable; we returned to our country, where ruin and desolation had overspread our fields and villages; we rejoiced, however, that we could return in peace, and pleased ourselves with the hopes of the peaceable and quiet enjoyment of our country for which we had fought and bled in the common cause together with you. While we were thus flattering ourselves with the agreeable prospects, we received an invitation to meet some of your Chiefs who were sent to speak with us at Fort Herkimer; we were glad, and immediately set out to meet them, expecting they were come to relieve our wants and to make good the repeated assurances we had received, that on our return to our country, we should be made to rejoice; those Chiefs who then met us, will doubt-
less remember how much we were disappointed, when they told us, they were only sent to buy our lands.
Brothers, It is needless for us to recapitulate the speeches that were made on that occasion: You cannot forget them, you have probably wrote them in a book; your Chiefs may well remember how reluctantly we entered on a treaty for the sale of our lands; they may also remember the method we then took to evade it, which was by making a proposal to them to lease a certain part of our country. The contempt with which they received our offer, is doubtless still fresh in their memory; it is in ours. In compliance, however, with their urgent solicitations, we at length consented to sell them a part of our lands, in consequence of the solemn and repeated assurances your Chief Sachem then made; that this should be the last application, that our Brothers the Legislature of the State of New-York would ever make to us for land.
Brothers, We are determined then never to sell any more; the experience of all the Indian nations to the East and South of us, has fully convinced us, that if we follow their example, we shall soon share their fate. We wish that our children and grand-children may derive a comfortable living from the lands which the Great Spirit has given us and our forefathers. We therefore determined to lease them; our friends in different parts of the country hearing of our determination, and being willing that we should still continue a nation, have offered to take our lands by lease, and give us a generous rent. We were loth to affront you again with the offer of our lands on such terms, and have therefore agreed to the proposals of our friends. Brothers, Since we have been on the road, a lying bird has passed by us, and reached your council fire, and told you that we have not leased our lands; we say, Brothers, the suggestion is false, and we hope you will treat it as such.
Brothers, We are surprized to hear that you are displeased, because others have accepted that, which your Chiefs have told us was beneath your nation: But Brothers, we are more surprized still, to learn you claim a right to control us in the disposal of our lands; you acknowledge it to be our own as much as the game we take in hunting; why then do you say that we shall not dispose of it, as we think best? You may Brothers, with as much propriety, when one of our hunters comes to your market with a pack of beaver, point out the person to whom he shall sell, and to no other.
Brothers, we wish you to consider this matter well, and to do us justice. We have now leased our whole country, excepting what we reserved for our own use, to people, who we doubt not, will pay us according to agreement; and if there be any thing which you can do, to encourage them in their settlement of it, we wish it may be done.
Brothers, This is all we have to say.
To the Great Men of the State of New-York.

From Oswald's (Philadelphia) Independent Gazetteer.
To the PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES.
THE magnitude, importance and dignity of the subject which has for some time past engaged your attention, require that it should be discussed with seriousness, decency and manly freedom. In our argument, so conducted, the names and persons of authors would not be objects of attention or enquiry, so much as the matter advanced and the reasons urged on either side of the question.
But when base and unworthy scribblers, incapable of argument, to whom neither
education or experience hath furnished any knowledge of the subject, shall rudely interfere in a question of so great concern, and skulking behind assumed signatures, in violation of all decency, shall pour forth torrents of personal abuse and opprobrious slander against men of high esteem, approved worth and tried integrity; when such men shall daily endeavor to disturb the public peace by seditious publications and false alarms, it becomes the duty of every good citizen, in whose power it may be, to hold up their names and characters to general view, that the people may judge what credit is due, what attention ought to be paid to their unqualified assertions, scandalous railings and loud out-cries.
The lion's skin should be lifted up, and the contemptible beast exhibited in propria persona.
You have seen, my fellow citizens, for a long time past, some of our news-papers teeming with the inflammatory productions of a few writers under the signature of the Centinel , Philadelphienfis , A Citizen of a Free and Independent State , and many other assumed titles. Would you not suppose that these spirited authors have the fullest reason for their extraordinary zeal; that they well understood the nature of government, its origin and operation under all forms; that they have a perfect knowledge of the proposed constitution, and can see its future effects with a penetration which nothing can deceive; that they possess abilities, natural and acquired, far superior to those of the gentlemen who framed and recommended this plan of government; would you not suppose that they must be intimately connected with the true interests of this country by large landed estates and by numerous families of children, who are to inherit the liberty or slavery that must ensue from the adoption of this constitution: Would you not suppose that under the confidence and sanction of such endowments they had ventured to arraign the conduct, the wisdom, and even the integrity of those selected characters in whom you had placed so great a trust: And lastly, would you not suppose that these worthy authors, instigated by nothing but their high zeal for your welfare, had been urged to exceed the known limits of common decorum? — These indeed are but reasonable suppositions; for, nothing less can justify the licentiousness with which they have treated the majesty of the people, and those gentlemen who have endeared themselves to you, by every tie that should endear the illustrious patriot to his grateful country.
But it is time you should know some of these valiant champions of the liberty and prosperity of America. And first I shall introduce to the people of the United States the magnanimous author of the pieces signed Philadelphienfis , the rest of the junto may make their public appearance hereafter — I now lift up the lion's skin — and behold, good people, no less a personage than BENJAMIN WORKMAN, one of the well-born tutors in the University of Pennsylvania.
It is about three years since B. Workman left his vast estate in Ireland to honor this miserable country with his august presence. Soon after his arrival, he condescended to accept of the place of tutor in the University; and might say with a certain brother adventurer
"But as for my letters of recommendation "I left them behind in the Irish nation; "Of them I'd no need, for my sweet "pretty face "Was as recommendation enough in this "place."
This tutor, however, in our University, this citizen almost three years old, this B. Workman, such as he is, without a foot of land in our country, or property of any kind, has the daring impudence to tell you, in the public papers, and through them to tell all the world, that the members of the late general Convention, your picked and chosen characters from New-Hampshire to Georgia, with your own GENERAL WASHINGTON at their head, were a parcel of fools, villains, traitors, conspirators, tyrants, despots, and, I know not what opprobrious names. And to assert that they deliberately, wilfully, and of malice aforethought planned, devised and intended the ruin of this country, and of the just rights and liberties of the good people thereof.
Now it lies with you, citizens of the United States, to judge whether most confidence ought to be placed in the patriotism and wisdom of General Washington, Dr. Franklin, and the other worthies who composed the late general Convention, or in this same B. Workman, Tutor in the university, whom I have now introduced to your acquaintance. For my own part, I feel a compunction and an indignation in the necessity of thus placing their names and characters in any kind of competition.
It may be thought incumbent on me to shew that I have some authority for exhibiting B. Workman as the author of the abusive papers signed Philadelphienfis , or at least of one of them, and therefore, I pledge myself to those who may think it worth while to enquire, and particularly to B. Workman, that if called upon (my name be-

ing left with the printer hereof for the purpose (+) I will by good and sufficient testimony prove,
That a certain PETER VANGELDER, rents a small building back of a house in Vine-street, for a school-room, and boarded with his landlord - that Benjamin Workman, Peter Vangelder, and some others, whose names may hereafter be announced, hold frequent meetings in this school-room, where they sit, sometimes, to eleven and twelve o'clock at night, writing inflammatory pieces to stir up the people against the new Constitution and the friends and supporters of it - That after one of their cabals the landlord, or some of his family, picked up a paper which the Junta had inadvertently left behind, which paper was filled with railings against, and objections to the Federal Constitution - That one other evening after this patriotic society had adjourned, Workman and Vangelder left the school-room and went into the landlord's dwelling house, Workman having a written paper in his hand, much interlined, as if it had been corrected - That after some conversation Workman sat down and in the presence and view of the landlord, signed it PHILADELPHENSIS - That from frequent discourses which the landlord had with Vangelder, and from many circumstances which can be brought forward if required, it will appear that Workman wrote pieces for the press, which Vangelder copied and carried to the printer, and that these were some of the abusive papers which have appeared in the public prints - And lastly, that the landlord was so displeased with Vangelder's conduct in this business, that he has ordered him to look out for another lodging, and to move his school as soon as possible."
Peter Vangelder was released from jail about a year ago by virtue of the insolvent act. And it is a laughable circumstance that Workman should be much concerned lest property should not be secure under the new Constitution, and Vangelder very anxious for the liberties of the people.
Such, my fellow citizens, are the heroes that blow the trumpet of alarm; such the adventurers who would, if possible, set you to cutting each other's throats, that in the general confusion they may stand some chance of bettering a situation in life, in which they have nothing to risk, but all things to hope for.
It may be worthy the consideration of the trustees of our university, whether the Legislature hath so munificently endowed that institution to make it the hot-bed of sedition; or whether, after this narrative, it will be prudent in them to continue in their service, as an instructor of youth, a man who is so wickedly endeavoring to disturb the public tranquility. And it may also be worthy the consideration of parents, whether the principles of youth are likely to be improved under the tuition of an hackneyed, hired, party scribbler.
It is remarkable that the inflammatory publications under the signature of Valerius , during President Dickinson's administration, were avowed to be the productions of a tutor in this university, by the party in whose behalf they were written.
But it may hereafter appear that the scribbling junto of Vine-street, are no more than the wretched venal instruments of men, who having some character to lose, skull behind these ragged screens.
