NEWPORT, February 14. SIX STATES have ratified the NEW CONSTITUTION. —New-Hampshire Convention are now in session; South-Carolina meets the third day of March; from authentic intelligence we are informed that both these States will adopt it by large majorities —Maryland meets the last of April —Virginia in June—New-York Assembly have recommended a Convention. —From this state of the progress of the new Constitution found policy dictates to the leading members of our administration to recommend the appointment of a Convention as speedily as possible, and to exert their influence in the adoption of it. —Great good may they expect from this change of measures—for their systems are too much deranged to encourage perseverance, and their powers are too languid to be rendered efficient—this step of repentance will be a mantle to cover in oblivion many secret crimes, and a virtue which will obliterate many foul stains. Various are the opinions what will be the policy of our leading characters in government. —Whatever it may be, this observation will ever be indisputable, that a perseverance in unfederalism will bring on this State the merited punishment of national degeneracy, and establish us as a monumental example of the truth of that adage, “Those whom GOD wills for destruction be first makes mad.”
HARTFORD, Jan. 11. Some idea, says a correspondent, may be formed whether the proposed Constitution annihilates the sovereignty or respectability of the several States, from the following list of the Convention of this State—in it, for ratifying the new Constitution, were two Governors, one Lieutenant-Governor, six Assistants, four of the Hon. Judges of the Superior Court, two Ministers of the Gospel, eight Generals, eighteen Colonels, seven Majors, thirteen Captains, the rest to the number of sixty-seven were composed of the Judges of the County Courts, Justices of the Peace, and gentlemen in private characters.—Against ratifying the Constitution were one Assistant, two Generals, four Colonels, one Major, three Captains, one Lieutenant, and the rest to the number of 29; were composed of Judges of the County Courts, Justices of the Peace, and private characters as aforesaid.
New-York, March 1. All the States, except Rhode-Island, have called Conventions —And as the Assembly of that State is to meet next week, it is expected that she will not remain an exception to the measure—Should it be the case, it will be a very pleasurable event—for, saith the scripture, there is more joy over one sinner that repenteth, than, &c. Yesterday arrived the brig Prince William Henry, Capt. Avery, in 5 weeks from Halifax.
HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, POUGHKEEPSIE. Saturday, February 16. Mr. Benson moved for the House to go into Committee on the papers respecting Indian leases, whereupon the House again resolved itself into a Committee on the said papers:
Mr. John Smith in the Chair. The following Petition, which had been previously read in the House and committed to this Committee, was, on motion of Mr. Jones, again read: To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New-York, in Senate and Assembly convened. The Petition of John Livingston and Caleb Benton, in behalf of themselves and their Associates, &c. Respectfully Sheweth, THAT Whereas the Honorable the Legislature have been pleased to appoint a Committee to enquire into the subject of your petitioners late petition relative to the leases by them obtained of the Six Nations of Indians, of their unappropriated lands within this State; and whereas the said Committee have reported a state of facts respecting the said leases:
We your petitioners do therefore most humbly pray the Honorable Legislature to take the said report into their wise consideration, and be pleased to appoint agents in behalf of the State, to confer with your petitioners on such terms and considerations as may be consistent with the justice, dignity and policy of the State, and that the Legislature will be pleased to recognize the said leases under such restrictions, as to them, in their wisdom, shall appear just and equitable.
And your petitioners as in duty bound, shall ever pray. John Livingston, for himself and Caleb Benton, and their Associates. Mr. Benson said the propositions which he would then lay before the Committee, had been formed before that petition had come
in. Whether it ought to induce the Committee to do any thing for them, he would not undertake to say. If the Committee should agree to the propositions, it would then be necessary to pass a Law, and to make a speedy communication of the proceedings to the Government of Massachusetts, and to request the co-operation of that State. He then read the resolutions, which have already appeared in our paper; he also read the form of a law which he proposed should be passed, for appointing Indian Commissioners.
Mr. Jones then remarked on the petition of Mr. Livingston, that it appeared to him that the prayer thereof could not be granted, as it would be improper to admit a supposition that the Legislature could enter into a treaty with them on any terms whatever. He therefore moved, that the petition be rejected.
Mr. Speaker seconded the motion; he would, he said, as soon treat with 4 or 500 traitors; if they made any opposition, they should be reduced by arms, and hung, as so many traitors.
Mr. Benson said there was no doubt but the petition should be rejected; but the resolutions should first be agreed to.
Mr. Brooks said this was a very serious business, and might be so in its consequences. He submitted it to the Committee, whether it would not be right to admit the lessees to be heard by counsel at the bar of the House. He wished it might appear that every degree of deliberation and fairness had been used, and that the Committee had made no hasty determination.
Mr. Jones would be extremely sorry if the Committee should go into any measures of that kind. If the petitioners suppose they can support their title by law, they have no business before the Legislature: but they had not even asked for it.
Mr. Brooks had made the motion in consequence of a request from some of the parties concerned. He did not suppose that it would cause much delay; and as they could not then say that they had not had a fair chance, nor been denied the right of being heard, it would more readily do away any complaints that might hereafter arise, and give more satisfaction to the citizens at large. If any inconveniencies could be shewn he would submit.
Mr. Speaker opposed the motion of Mr. Brooks; he asked, if the Committee would go into such a measure, without even being petitioned by the parties. In the present case, however, it would be improper that they should be heard? What was it the Committee had to determine on? Would they consent to grant the petitioners the whole of the Indian country? Their lease could admit of no defence; it was, to all intents and purposes, void.
Mr. Benson said, it was not unusual to hear Counsel, whenever the Legislature were going into any measures that might affect private rights. He did not know what the petitioners could expect from Counsel. What was the question before the House—is their lease valid or not? If it is a good lease, its efficacy cannot be destroyed: but it appeared to him to be so palpable a case, that in judgment of law it was void; no Court of Justice could recognize it. Granting them Counsel appeared to him a very unnecessary thing; tho', if there was any reasonable expectation of obtaining any useful information on the subject, he should have no objections.
Mr. Brooks said, that his only motive for making the motion, was to hear every claim, and give them every satisfaction they could expect.
The question was then taken informally, and lost.
The resolutions proposed by Mr. Benson were then taken into consideration, and agreed to without any material amendment.
The Committee then rose and reported the same; when they were agreed to by the House, and sent to the Senate for concurrence.
Mr. Jones then made a motion in the House, that the petition of John Livingston and Caleb Benton, and their associates, presented this day, be rejected; which said motion was agreed to, and the petition rejected accordingly.
Tuesday, Feb. 19. A petition from John Livingston and Caleb Benton, and their associates, offering a surrender of their lease on certain conditions therein specified, was read and referred to a joint Committee of the Senate and Assembly. The Members on the part of the Assembly were, General Clinton, Mr. Verplanck, Mr. Benson, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Tompkins.
[This Committee made the Report published in our paper of the 23d and 25th Feb. which was first agreed to in the Senate, and then concurred in by the House.]
Wednesday, February 20. A petition from John Livingston and Caleb Benton and their associates, setting forth that they are willing to purchase all the unappropriated lands from the Indians, in which purchase certain advantages shall arise to the State; and praying to be authori-
fed for that purpose; was read: whereupon
Mr. Benson moved to commit it. Mr. Jones could not suppose that it was prudent to consider it at all. This matter, said he, comes before us in various shapes, day after day; it was time that there was an end of it. The State he believed had never authorised any private men to make purchases. He did not think it would be prudent even to take up the proposition. What ground was it on which they asked indulgence? Why should they have a preference? Unless he could hear some reasons against it, he should move that the petition be laid on the table.
Mr. Benson said, that the whole of this business had been important, and deserved attention. What had been already done respecting it he believed was right. But this petition brought new matter before the House; it was a business of another complexion. If by any means the whole Indian claim should be quietly extinguished, it would to him be a desirable object. He did know that from time to time, purchases would be made; and that in the course of 20 years, more money would be spent than the lands were worth. He thought the propositions in the petition were worth consideration. He believed that if at any time persons had come and offered to make purchases, giving a proposition of one half to the State, free of all expence; that it would have been advisable to permit it. But he foresaw the objection that would be made to it; that it would be granting to individuals too large a territory; —but the proposition would nevertheless be worth considering. —The petitioners suppose it probable they can purchase the whole Indian territory, and are willing to have such a proportion as the State shall allow them; was not this worthy of some attention? If we are to purchase these lands in the same manner as in 1785, he would pronounce that the State was not adequate to it. With respect to the persons who petitioned, he was no way prejudiced in favor of them; but had similar proposals came from any other quarter, he would deem them worthy of consideration. He therefore wished it might be committed, and taken into immediate consideration. It was impossible that any Gentleman could have so determined a view of the subject, as to say it would be certainly right to reject this proposition, without even taking it into consideration; it would appear to him to be temerity. He would not however say, that he would agree to the proposals as they stood. He confessed that it gave him pain to see this matter taken up with so much warmth in the first instance.
Mr. Jones readily admitted that the whole of this business was of importance: he was aware of the difficulties that had been stated; but it appeared to him that the Committee were encouraging the evils, as every step that was taken towards any accommodation with these people, would make further difficulties. To grant the prayer of the petition, the Legislature might as well declare that every man should be at liberty to go among the Indians and make purchases. He asked why the ordinary mode of proceeding should be departed from? There never had been an instance, under the British Government, where persons had been allowed to make purchases, except under the inspection of the Crown. To give them the privilege of making a purchase, would be to counteract all that had been done; it would indeed recognize their leases, for they would say to the Indians, have we not already purchased from you? It appeared to him that taking this matter into consideration from the first moment of petitioning to the present hour, that the whole was only a contrivance to draw the Legislature into some kind of acknowledgment of their proceedings. As to the great benefits that would arise from it, he could not see them; the fact would be that the State would in the end have to pay the whole of the rent; the Indians would have no one else to look to for it. He did not therefore think it would be prudent to countenance the propositions, even so far as to take them into consideration: besides, there had not yet been any report made on the petition presented yesterday.
Mr. Benson said, the gentlemen who opposed the commitment of the petition, had taken new ground. If there had not been a report on the petition of yesterday, why should it prevent the committing the one now before the house? Was that any reason? It did not interfere. It had been said, that it was a contrivance to draw the legislature into some kind of acknowledgment, in favor of their former proceedings. The motives of the petitioners could only be known to themselves; he only judged from the petition. It appeared, however, to him, that presenting this petition, was a declaration that their lease was good for nothing. If he was to judge from the act, he would say so; and it would be fair reasoning. He considered the propositions, as detached from the former business, and he would take them up, upon the great scale of poli-
cy and expediency. If the gentleman himself had made the propositions, it would be to him perfectly the same; he would consider whether it would be for the advantage of the State; and not view it as conferring any favors on individuals. If the House did not take it up on that ground, they would certainly err. The conduct of the petitioners had undoubtedly been exceedingly reprehensible; and if he should agree to their propositions, it would not be from any considerations of regard. He would repeat, that unless the House should consider these propositions as detached from the former business, they would certainly proceed on mistaken grounds. The gentleman who opposed the petition had discovered warmth, and considered it as bestowing favors on individuals: He had a different idea of it. He would consider, whether it was for the interest of the State, and if so, he would agree to it.
Mr. Brooks thought it would not be improper to commit the petition for the reasons that had been urged. He was of opinion, that it was high time to make some purchase of those lands, from the encroachments that would probably be made on them. If the propositions offered, were to the interest of the State, he did not see why they should not be taken into consideration; they certainly were detached from the other business that had been before the Legislature. From what had happened, he believed the petitioners could make a better bargain with the Indians, than any other persons; this might be a reason for giving them a preference.
Mr. Jones said, he was not conscious of having discovered any warmth on this occasion: What he had urged to the House, proceeded from a conviction of what he thought was right; if he was mistaken, it was no more than what every man was liable to, and he would cheerfully submit to the opinion of the majority. However, he was yet to be persuaded of the propriety of committing the petition, and of considering it as unconnected with those already decided on. It still appeared to him, to be the result of contrivance. If the House viewed it in the same light, they would also be of his opinion.
Mr. Sylvester said, that however odious and contemptible the petitioners might have appeared, they had now put themselves on a different footing. He supposed the gentleman's opposition had arisen from a high sense of Government. For his part he would commit the petition.
The question was then taken, and agreed to. And on motion of Mr. Benson, the petition was referred to a Committee of the whole House.

[To be Continued.]
For the Daily Advertiser.
IT will be of great consequence to chuse men of talents, integrity, property and confidential character, to represent this city in the Convention. There are men mentioned, whose defence of the Federal cause may injure it, as Mrs. Candor's vindication, in the Comedy, generally blasted the character she seemed inclined to defend. The Grand Convention was not filled with the first characters of America; and though they may, in the page of history, be called the Worthies of America, yet cotemporaries must laugh at some being introduced into political life, upon the wretched principle of indolence, and having nothing to do.
An ADVISER.
Mr. CHILDS,
By Genius to be sneer'd at, is a curse, But by a sniv'ling fool, by Heaven is worse!
THE author of Philo-Smithson deserves credit for his piece; inasmuch, as the irony it contained was good, and the ideas new: but, at the same time, I think he would do well, in future, to apply the talents nature has endowed him with, to a better use than in meddling with matters that do not concern him, especially now that the insolvent act is repealed. His irony, though good, cannot give the least offence to any of us sons of Galen, for two ostensible reasons, viz. That it is false, tho' keen; and that Religion and Physic have always been the butts, against which idle scribblers have discharged their malicious arrows. Altho' the strokes we have received from the clean hands of Philo-Smithson do not affect us, as they leave no scars behind them; yet I must confess I am mortified at the dirt and filth which Humanio has belched out against us. Humanio indeed! it well becomes a writer, under that signature, toasperse the characters of the innocent, by asserting wilful and absolute falsehoods. Had not the stupid wretch brains enough to perceive, that the name of Humanio was only bestowed upon him out of ridicule, as one he had not the least title to; But this was not the greatest blunder he was guilty of; he even presumed to publish a piece in your DAILY ADVERTISER, which had in itself neither wit, language, or truth. What did the gander-head (I hope he won't clap this signature to his next piece) mean by repeating the word blacks in his two first lines? Perhaps he thought the composition would not be black enough without them; if that was his motive, he is excusable: but I much suspect it was entirely owing to his ignorance. This however was only an inelegance, but the following extract is absolute nonsense:
"Were not suffered to remain in the grave but scandalously abused, &c." Now whether he means, that the corpse scandalously abused the neighbors, or that the neighbors scandalously abused the corpse, is not easy to guess. Now for another elegant extract: "In this place several bodies had been interred, when not long since a number of young men, &c." How the fool can make English of that I cannot conceive; I dare swear he had some meaning; but not having sense enough to convey his ideas, they vanished in fumo. I shall not fill up your paper with a recapitulation of all his absurdities and blunders, but shall only, by way of return for the kind and modest advice he offered to the imprudent Abduction, and his inconsiderate companions, warn him not to be so rash and imprudent, as again to attempt to espouse the cause of his fellow sufferers (for I take him to be some manumitted slave) without first applying for another quarter's tuition at the free negro school; that he may thereby be ena-
bled to convey his meanings, at least in good, if not in elegant language.
