proper use of them, but subject to the quail
iication in the succeeding clause. Considering
the peculiarly and magnitude ofthe occasion
which produced the Convention at Phladel-
phia in I7s7, the characters who composed it,
the Constitutionwh resulted from their de-
liberations, its effects during trial OF so many
years on the people living under it, and the
interest it has inspired among the friends of
free government, it is not an unreasonable in
ference that a careful and extended report Of
the proceedings and discussions Of that body,
which were with closed doors, by a member
who was constant in his attendance, will be-
particularly gratifying to the people of the Uni
ted States, and to all who take an interest in
the progress of political science and the cause
oftrue liberty. 1t is my desire that the report
as made by me should be published under her
authority and direction; and, as the publica-
tion may yield considerable amount beyond
the necessary expenses thereof, give the nett
proceeds thereofto my wife, charged with the
following Legacies, to be paid out Of that fund
only" &c. &c.

The Niagara Falls Journal OF the 18th inst
says that there had been 1000 visiters there

In the sentiment of the following paragraph
copied from the NeW York Erpress We fully
concur. 1t ought to be engraved over the door
of every Legislative Hall, and Court House
and College Hall and School room, and We

observation clearly prore, it is this, that the

lqus that the people make, be enforced, and the
better must the police be 10 enforce them."i
