PHILADELPHIA, September 17.

A correspondent remarks, with satisfaction, that notwithstanding Judge B---n's assertion last spring that the serious Quakers were against the new government, not one of them could be persuaded to favor the Harrisburg meeting with their presence--nor did one German go thither from any of the respectable counties in which they live. A single man only of that worthy and valuable body of citizens appeared, the place of meeting being near, and subjecting him to earnest invitation.

A friend of liberty and government. remarks, that however full and fair may be the future consideration of amendments on the part of Pennsylvania. it must give great satisfaction to see the disappointment of the late attempt to procure a pretended representation of the counties at Harrisburg. Pennsylvania never manifested more good sense, nor a greater attachment to good government, than by her evident disapprobation of means so deceitful, secret and insinuating, as were used to effect this meeting.

Pennsylvania, says a correspondent, sends sixty-nine members, by the votes of 30,000 electors, to her state legislature, but it seems they cannot do our public business, but an Upper House must be assembled at Harrisburg. Our state constitution requires that men noted for wisdom and virtue should be chosen, but we do not find that any thing of that kind is required for this Upper House. He further remarks, that in proportion to the electors who met to choose this unconstitutional body, the city of Philadelphia, instead of five whole members only sent a little finger and a thumb, the counties of Montgomery, York, Northampton, &c. not the paring of a nail, the county of Dauphin a head, &c. so that altogether they may be truly said not to make A Body.
