The fate of the new constitution, observes a correspondent is now determined; its warmest advocates scarcely squeak; the patriotic writings have awakened the people of this state to a proper sense of the danger they were in, and they are determined to assert their liberties like men: the Centinel, in particular, has been of infinite service in explaining the latent mischiefs of this system of tyranny, and the conduct of its promoters. This publication has acquired the approbation of every good man, for its ability and candour, elegance of composition, and for its spirited and patriotic ardour, while it is dreaded by the junto, their sycophants and tools, as the key to all their juggling and dark politics.
