The State of Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations yet remains unrepresented in the Congress of the United States of America—any order to the contrary notwithstanding.
On Friday last the Town-Meeting of this town convened, agreeable to their adjournment, to hear the report of their committee appointed to draft instructions to our Representatives for the calling of a Convention and repealing of the Tender and Limitation Acts—the report accordingly was read, and unanimously received.
The public will have a just estimate of the principles of the Antifederalists in this State, by recurring to the principles of our domestic government for two years past—the opposers of the New Constitution being uniform supporters of an iniquitous tender of a depreciated paper-money at par.
