New York Journal, 18 October 1787
cj The Editor, having been obliged to omit a number of PIECES, &c.
last week-and from a further consideration, of the expediency, in a
free and independent country, of transmitting to the public cool and well
written discussions on both sides of a subject that is closely connected
with that freedom and independence-has judged it his duty, this
week, to present his generous patrons, and the public, with a JOURNAL
EXTRA ORDINARY.-It was his intention to have subjoined to the Cen-
tinel the Address of Mr. WILSON, to his fellow citizens assembled at
Philadelphia, which was intended as a refutation to the objections of
the Centinel (and other writers) to the foederal constitution-but, as a
REPLY to Mr. WILSON is expected, it was thought best that they should
both be inserted together in the same paper.-Accounts from the In-
dian country, which, however, are not of a very interesting nature, and
'A SLAVE,"' from a correspondent, are unavoidably omitted.-Fortu-
nately there is a dearth of news this week-for the few paragraphs
prepared for this paper have also given place to more important po-
litical animadversions.
