And your petitioners fliall ever pr»y, Stc COUNT KR-PROJET. Philadelphia, December 29, 1800. ADDRESS. WE the undersigned inhabitants of the city and county of Philadelphia tfte Attention of our neighbours and zens to the present addr'fs. If the objett of it be of fufficient magnitude to juftify this voluntary interference on our part we (ball hope to be forgiven, but if not we mud a bide the consequence? of our presumption, ; andcor.fole eiirft'lves with reflr&ing that «e have sincerely meant to promote the public good by the exercise of a right to which eveiy citizen mi* republican government is ind;l'putably cntitl. d. • In the leg i flat ve fvftem of Pennsylvania of what use is the House of Representatives ? We do not mean lo draw our conclusions from the proceedings of the present House of Repr.'fentatives in particular, though we cannot deny that the obllinate perlieverance of that bi-dy, in oppolitirn to ilie conftitu tiopal rights and known wilhes of the more vntuous part of the people, has this present enquiry. • For who can help doubting the utility of a fyfleni, wherein a lew paflioiute mteretled politician* can Sue- to be Wirped by the political prejudices which happen to prevail aL the moment of their eledtion, ar.d will have a continual tendency to hostile collifi j/i wi;h the more tempered and discreet leptefentatives of the people's voice. Su«h hisbeen, furh is, and such will be the cafe, and hence had the people of Penn lylvania beea nearly deprived of their (bare in the eledlion of the most important magis trate of the union. Indeed we cannot help again remarking the glaring absurdity of our present form of government, which enables the obstinacy of a few ambitious representatives, to whatever stations they may aspire, efTcftually to oppose the undoubted meaning of the constitution and the unanimous voice of the rtifefl part even of the people thenifelves. Well m y the fiiends of anarchy exclaim in praile of a system which furniflirs so pow erful a check to the w;lhes of the good, and iiivefts such evil men with so dangerous a pri- vilrgr. All t'>efe objc&ions were forcfeen at the. adoption of the prefeiit constitution. Expe rience,has confirmed .jbeni and added some more facts in fapport of that grand result of •ill pciliuc.il niftory—the basis of all good a; verrtnent, that potver entrusted with those wht flt-tr unwise or unvirtuous, ivill certainly be abused. Nor has experience fin&ioned the argu ments upon which the present conftiiucion was recnminendcd. Look at the disturbed oqr count!y, look at t! e discontents which pr, vail among us. If we nquire into the expence of the pre lent government, we (full find th it the pay of the mtinVers of the H ufr of Rrpiefeutatjves raises in the course of a lfflion to an enormoas amount, whilt th :t of the Senate is but one fourth par; of the fit nr. Wc do l not pretend to deny that a second deliberative aflemMy and a revifton . ahd 1 difculfion by one legislative body of the re cent a£ls . f another, may sometimes be of use. But we fee no necessity to invert a Hnife of Reprefenutives, with an absolute negative up >ll the afls of our Senate ; nor run we be persuaded that a deliberative Houl'e of Keprefentatives might not be as ufeful if chosen by the Senate, at the commencement of each of their sessions, out of the whole ot the good Deople of'the Commonwealth.— Nor.can we help regarding with an anxiou# and jealous eye, that propenlity too prevalent among a large class of our citizens to imitate and adopt the d-ingerous and anti-republican maxims of the corrupt fyfteiti of Frary:e. ,We do not dwell on the dangerous facility which (V large a body presents to the infi tiiouj pra&ice nf foreign influence, for we entertain no Mufpicions of the integrity of men thus eminently raised by the fufirages of the if fellow-citizens. We forbear alio to strengthen our opini ons by any reference to the rioufe ofßepre fentatives of the Union, although (and with concern we speak it) tl)e history of that 6r dy and the fetlioss for the two last years, would furnilh fa ft s and arguments in our fa vour, nnujlfible as .v'e think to be n filled.— Even now the Hoiife of Reprcfrntatives' doiffrineot mg-alitudt derived from th im pure source of laced iminim parfunony and ' unknown to virtue and patriotism, is in open bdftilities with the expieiltun of tne f. elings of our country towards the immortal Wafb ingtnn. Uiiut impreflions we c.*.1l on our fellow citizens of the city and county to affitl in remedying the evil we complain of, if they , also *Te of opinion with us, thai it is an evil and at meetings in the city and coinjty to figti and transmit to the fegifliture ot the : ft.ite, some ftich petition as the following, which We rtfpettfully lubmit to their conii- ] deration. 1 Philadelphia City. ■ JOHN DOE, RICHARD ROE, , Philadelphia Courty. j ' RICHAHD KEN, JOHN'REN, j Firm of a Pititi n. 1 To the Honorable the Senate and House qf Rep[-fentativ s of the Commonwealth , of Pennfylvami,' The Petition of the undersigned inhabi tants of the city and county of Philadel phia, Refpec\fully fheweth, 1 That your petitioners impreflVd win the d ngeroas conii quences of inch nof . underfi.indings as they have lately witnes s d between the Senate and H ui'e of Re presentatives, beg leave to call the atten i tißn of the Leg'flat ure to the canfes of them.
