& the federal Constitution with all its amendments, also a Congretianal Register
from the adoption of the Constitution till now, Containing the names of all the Mem
-bers & the number of votes they were Chosen by, & the yeas & nays on some of
the Most Important Questions they have Desided upon - Such as the pending Sistim

It is thought that a Magazen Containing 40 or 50 pages would be Large enough
for the perusal of a farmer or Labourer, which would be about the Size of an almanak
which costs Eight Cents - the Cost of Such a Magazen would be trifling to Newspapers

Labour have formed themselves Into Societyes in the Same Manner it would be with
an ill Grace if the Should attempt to Denounce it, for one is Just as Constitutianal
