A fictitious character named "Publius" wrote essays "To the people of New York."
Publius was Alexander Hamilton's, James Madison's and John Jay's shared pseudonym; the "people of New York" represented not only the general public of New York but, more importantly, the state legislators who had yet to ratify the Constitution.
