The New York Journal, And Daily Patriotic Register

We learn from Massachusetts, that several of the towns, after choosing their members in convention, formally addressed them by way of instruction. The instructions of the town of Northampton are written with calmness ; they are not positive to adopt or reject the proposed constitution, but say. " every step we take in the progress of our examination evinces, that it is too important, complicated, and extensive to be hastily decided upon, &c." -That this cautious mode of proceeding is a trait of political wisdom, no one will deny; which, we are happy to announce, is adopted by many other towns in that extensive and populous branch of the union, the commonwealth of Massachusetts.
