Daily Question: 
"To the citizens of the state of New York:

In my last number I endeavored to prove that the language of the article relative to the establishment of the executive branch of this new government was vague and inexplicit, that the great powers of the President, connected with his duration in office would lead to oppression and ruin.

..... that the president cannot represent you because he is not one of your own immediate choice, that if you adopt this government, you will incline to an arbitrary and odious aristocracy or monarchy, that the president possessed of the power given  to him by this frame of government differs but very immaterially from the establishment in Great Britain.
