Printed as a supplement to the New York *Independent Journal*, this sheet reports that the Virginia Convention voted on June 25, 1788, to ratify the new federal Constitution, by 89 votes to 79. Virginia was the tenth state to approve, and New Hampshire had already supplied the ninth ratification that put the document into effect. Because Virginia was the largest and most populous state, its decision was closely watched, and news sheets like this one carried it quickly to readers in New York, which had not yet acted.
