Description
Speaks of the indecision of New York with regard to the new constitution; hopes that if New York does reject it, such an example will have no influence in North Carolina; their painful suspense with regard to the decision of South Carolina; Rhode Island will probably veer about when she sees the new system at work; arrangements about putting it into effect will probably be reported on that week.
