GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES, New York, June 9, 1790  Although a "breaking news' report appeared in this newspaper a week earlier, the front page of this issue formally reports the ratification of the Constitution by the state of Rhode Island, the last of the 13 original colonies to do so.
Most of the middle column of the front page is taken up with the report headed: "RATIFICATION" which begins: "Saturday night, at eleven o'clock, an express arrived... from Newport with the important intelligence, that the CONVENTION OF THIS STATE had ratified the CONSTITUTION..." with much more as can be seen in the photos. The text of the formal ratification is signed in type by Daniel Owens, President of the convention.
One-third of page 3 is taken up with an extract of Governor John Hancock's speech concerning the Constitution, s few bits including: "We have, by the blessing of Divine Providence, achieved a situation truly enviable in the eyes of other nations: Our person and possessions are governed by standing and known laws, & secured by a Constitution formed by ourselves...The price of our freedom has been great toil and much expense...we feel as freemen, while the people of some other countries are oppressed with heavy burthens..." and much more.
Also on page 3 are 3 Acts of Congress, each signed in type by the President: George Washington, and the Sec. of State: Thomas Jefferson.
Four pages, very nice condition.
