On Tuesday the 18th inst. the New Federal Constitution was reported by the delegates of Pennsylvania, agreeably to their instructions, to the General Assembly of that state, and read publicly, in the presence of a large crowd of citizens, who stood in the gallery of the Assembly room, and who testified the highest pleasure in seeing that great work at last perfected, which promises, when adopted, to give security stability and dignity to the government of the United States.
The division of the power of the United States into three branches gives the sincerest satisfaction to a great majority of our citizens, who have long suffered many inconveniences from being governed by a single legislature. All single governments are tyrannies--whether they be lodged in one man--a few men--or a large body of people.
