which assembled in Philadelphia, for the pur-
‘roso of tligestitig a constittrtion for the United
tales, and I believel wasthe youngest meni-
‘be.- or that body. The great and good Wash-
ington was chosen our President, and Doctor
Itlrhiiklin, among other great men, was a del-
egate; front Pennsylvania. A disposition was
soon discovered in some ntenibers to display
tlrviiiselves in oratorical flourishes——but ll‘.-3
good sense and discretion ofthe riit-.jority put
down all such attempts. .We had CI)I'IV8ltEII
to deliberate upon, and if possible, effect a
great iiatiorial obj ect—~to search for political
*;L'isd:nii and fr1..',th ;-—these we meant to pursue
with simplicity, $1. to avoid every thing which
would have a tetitiency to divert our attention,
or peiplex our scheme.
. A great variety of projects were proposed.
All,re.pub|ican in their getter:-II outlines, but
tliti't,-ritig in their details. It was therefore
dctcruiinerl that certain elemetitary principles
should at first he €SIaI)IISIIt‘.(I, in each branch
of the intended constitution, and afterwards
the details should be debated and filled up.
There was little, or no (IlIIIt:llIly in deter-
iiiiiiiiig upon the eleuientary principles—sut:h
as for instance that the government. shutild bo-
ii republican representative governtiient.——
Tl;-at ‘it should be (II\'l(I(‘.(I itito three Ill’iilI(2llC.~',
i. e. Legislative, Execuli-vc and JIld‘fC'l:tlI, &r;-.
But wlieri the orgatitz-rtion of the t'espectiv'.-
branches ofthe Legislzrtion came under coir
sitleratiou, it was easy to be perceived that the
castern, and the southern states had distinct
interests, which it was difficult to recoi‘rcile,
and that the larger States were disposed to
forui a constittitian in which the smaller
States would be H)(‘l'e appendages and satel-
lites to the larger ones. On the first of these
subjects iiiricli animated and somewhat angry
debate had takeuplace, when the ratio of rep-
resetitatioltitt the lower House of Congress
was before us, the southern States clarirning
for thernselvcsthe whole number oftlieir I)I'l t-lr
ptipulrrtititi ; while tlte eastern States were for
confining the elective francliise to freetiir-it
only withotit respectllo color.
As the dilfcietit parties adhered pertinvt
ciously to their differeiit positions, it was lear-
ed that this was art irisurmountable obstacle;
but as the members were already gerierally
satisfied that no constitution coitld be foruietl
'wIlll;Il would meet the views, atid subserve the
interests of each intlividttal State, it was evi-
deut that it tntist be a rnattcr of compromise
and tiitrtrial coricessiou. Under these impres-
sions. and with these views, it was agreed at
lent,’-th that each State sliotild be entitled to
otir-‘Delegate in the House ol'I{cpresetit-atives,
for every thirty thousand of its inhahitants—-
in tvoicli titiiiiber should be included 3 firtlis
of tttt.-it‘ slaves. —
When the details of the House ofRep.re
sgtttatives were disposed of. a more diliicule.
task prest nted itself in the organization oftlit:
Seiratr-.. The larg"r States coiitr-titled lIl.'lI
the satire ratio as to States, should he corunion
to both branches of the Legislature—-or, in
other words, that each state should he BIIIIIIE-_I
to a rt-presenratioti in the Senate, (whatever
tiiiglit be the number fixed on) in proportion
to its population, as in the House of Iicpre
serizatives. The suittllei‘ States outhe other
hauo coutendt.-‘d that the House oI'I{cpi'esctit-
atives might be cotisltleted as the gtrarrdian ol‘
the libertit-s nftlic people, anti therefore ought
to bear a just proportion to their nurnbers, bill
‘that the Senate represented the Sovereignty
ofilie States—atid that as each State whether
great or smell was equally an iutlepeiidetit and
sovereign State, it ought in this branch .of the
Lr.-gislatrire to have equal weight and aiitliotv
ity; wiIIl0Ul this they s.tid there could be no
security for their eqtial rights ; and they
wottld by such a distribution ofpowcr be mer-
god and lost in the larger states.
This reasoning. however plain and power
ful, had btitlittle iufltieiice on the tnitids“ of
Delegates from llte larger States—& as they
forined a large inajority ofthe Convention—-
the question, after passing through the forms
oftiebate, was decided that each state sliotild
be represented in the Senate in proportion to
its population.”
When the Convention had adjourned over
to the next day, the Delegates of the fntir
smallest States, i. e. Ithode Island, Connec-
ticut, New Jersey, and Delaware, convened
to consult what course was to be ptirsiied in
the important crisis at which we have arrived;
after seriousiiivcstigatioii, it was solemnly de-
termined, to as’.-'. for a re-consitlerufiori. the.-
’ next morning ; and it it was not graiiletl, 0!
if when granted, that offensive fe.iturc of the
Constitution cotrld not be expungeu, anti the
smaller States put upon an cqitalfootiiig with
the largest, we should secede from the Con.
veution, and returning to otrr coustittiettls, Ill-
forui them that no compact could be formed
with the large States, tint one which would
sacrifice our sovereignty and independence.
“ I was deputed,” said General —, “to
be the organ through wliicn this couitnunica-
tion should be in-.tde—I ktiow not why, utilcss
it be that yrnmg men are generally chosen to
perform rash actions—accor«.lingly, when the
Cotiveiititiir had assembler], attd as soon as the
minutes of the last sittings were read, I rose,
and stated the view we had taken of the or-
ganization of the Senate-—our desire to obtain
a rccotistderation and suitable tiiodtficatiou of
that article; atid in failure ihcreol, our deter-
minatioti to secede frotii the Convention and
rezttru to our coristitticnts.
This disclosure, it itiay readily be supposed,
produced ati immediate and great excitcriietii
in every part of the House. Several rrieiirbers
were ininrediately oti the floor to express their
surprise or indignation ! 'I‘hcy rt.-presentetl
that the question had i'ec_eived ii ftill and fair
Invcsligaliull, and had been definitely settled
by a very large niajority---that it was alto
gctlicr unparliatiieiitary and lllll‘BflSUl1&lI)Ie,IOI'
one ofthe minority to propose a I‘.8CUll5llIt‘:I‘it-
tion, at the inonient their act had become :2
matter of record ;.and without pretending
“"11 fin)’ H9W.IIgI‘lt could be thrown on the sub-
ject—-tliafif such precedent‘ should be 85135-
lisltetl, it would in futurc.be impossible to say
when any one point was definitely settled: 35
a small itliiiority might, at any molnefli-3335"
and again, move and obtain a reconsideration;
they therefore hoped the Convention would
express its decided disapprobation, by passing
silently to the business before ttiem.
_.'I‘her'e' was much warm, and some acrimo-
lnioiis feeling exhibited by a number of the
spetzches-—-a rupture appeared almost inevit-
"able, and the bosom of.Wasbingt0n seemed to
labor with the most anxious solicitude for its
issue. Happily for the United States, the
Convention contained some individuals pos-
sessed oftalents and virtues of the highest or-
der, whose hearts were deeply ‘interested in
the establishment of a new and eflicient forrii
bf government ; and whose penetrating minds
had already deplored the evils which would
spring up in our newly established Republic,
should the present atteiirpt to consolidate it
prove abortive. Among those personages the
mostprominenl was Dr. Franklin. He was
esteemed the lllentor ofour body. To a mind
naturally strong atid capacious, enriched by
much retttling, and the experience of many
years, he arirlcd a mariner 0I'C0lll'n)UllIC‘¢lI.lng
his tltoughts peculiarly his own, in which stin-
plicily, beauty and strength, were equally
C-’)nSpICU0llS. As soon as the angry orators
who preceled hirii liiitl left liitn an opening,
the Doctor rust‘, evidently impressed with the
wt-iglrt of the stil-ject liefore them, and the
difliciilty ofinanaging it successfully.
“ We have-arrfverl, Mr. President,” said he,
“ at a very riiomentous and interesting crisis
in our deliberations. Hitherto our views have
been as harmonious, and otir progress as
great, as could reasonably be expected. But
now an tinlooked for and forrnirlable obstacle
is tltrowii in our way, which ilireatcii: to arrest
our course, and ll not skillfully removed, to
render all our fond hopes of a constitution a-
I‘it)l'IIV8. The grotind which was taketr by tho
rlt-legates of the four sinallest States was tiri-
oxpectcd by me, and as repugnant to my feel-
ings as it can be to any other inetuber ofthis
cotrvhtition. After what I thought a ftill and
impartial investigation of the stiltject, I re-
corded my vote in the afiiriiiative side of the
question, and I have not yet heard any thing
which induces the to change my opiii'ioii.--
Bull will not therefore conclude it isini-
possible for the to be wrong I I will tint say
that those gentlemen who differ front the are
under a delusion! tnucli less will I chargo
them with an intention of l)Ee(IIeSSI_V embarr-
rassiug otir deliberatiotis. It is possible some
change in our late proceedings might to taltt:
place upon principles of mutual justice; or

preferisioiis as a matter ofprtitlt:nt;e and expe-
dir»nc_v. For my own part there is nothing I
so nittcli dread as a failure to derive and es
tablish sortie equal and 2-fficient forni ofgov-
r-rztuicut for our infatit Ii-‘public. The pres-
t.-iitt-ffort has been Inr’l(If*. under the li-apples‘.
auspices, and has prortiist-.d the most f'.rvorabl-=.
rt;-stilts-—-—btit shoulvl this t€IIi)l'I prove vain, it
will be long ere zinotlicr can be made with any
prospect ofsttct-e.~s. Our strength and our
prosperity will depend oti ottr unity ; and the
secession ofeveii four ofthe smallest States,
interspers.2t.l as they are, would, in my mind,
paralyse and render useless, any plan wliictt
the ritajority could devise. I should, more-
l‘ore,.be gricvetl, Mr . President, to see tnatters
brought to the test, which has been, perhaps,
too raslily threatened on the one hand, and
which some of tiiy liououred colleagtrcs have
treated ton lightly on the other. I am cou-
vincerl that it is at subject which should be ap-
proaclicd with cutition-trrtatctl with tender-
ot-ss—and tlecidctl on with candour and liber-
ality. It is, however, to be feared. that ill!‘
members ofthis convention are not in a tent
per at this rnntuent to ?IPpI't)viCI) the sulrject on
which we differ it) this spirit; I would IIlt’.l‘t‘.-
Tore propose, Mr. Prcsitleiit, that without pro-
ceeding l'tirtltci'_lu this business at this tune,
the tzonveution should altljrillfll for thrt-e. days,
in order to let the present ferutent pass ofi'.atirl
to atforrl time for a more full, free, and dis-
pzissitirmle investigation of the stiliject. Arirl
I would earnestly recoiiimeiitl to the lnElI)I)t'_t"-
of this couveiitiou, that they spend the time of
this recess, riot in associating with their own
party, and devising new argttmetils to fortify
themselves in their old opinions ; but that
they mix with members of opposite senti
merits, lend apatient ear to their reasonings,
and c:Il'I(Il(II_Y allow them all the weight to
which they may be entitled; and wIft*.l‘I we
zisseuible agaiti,I hope it will be with a deter-
niiuation to form it coiistittitioii--if not such
on one as we can individually, and iii all re-
spects approve—yet the best which utider ex
isting circiimstaaces, can be obtrrinerl,”——

suggest another matter, and I am really stir-
prist-tl that it has not been proposed by some
other member at an earlier period ofour de-
liberations. I will suggest, Mr. Presideiit,
the propriety of nornitiating and appointing
before we separate,a Chaplain to this Cou-
vention, whose duty it shall be uniformly to
sissetiinle with us, and introduce the business
of each day by air adrlress to the Creator of
the Universe and the Governor of all nations,

The Doctor sat down, and never, said Geri.
, did I behold ti countenance at once
sotlignificd, and delighted, as was that or
Wasliiiigtoii, at the close of this address. Nor
were the rnernbcrs ofthe Convention gener-

and authority even greater than we may sup-
pose an oracle to have had in a Roman Seri-

not leave him a minute to doubt: "0 We

manner advised hy_Dr. I-‘raultltn, the oppo-
site parties mixed with each other, and‘ a free
8:. frank interchange of seritirnents took place‘.
On the fourth day we assembled again, and II
great additional light had not been thrown oti
the subject, every unfriendly feeling had been
expelled, and a spirit ofconciliatioit had been
cultivated, which promised at least a calrii 81.
dispassiouate recousitlcration of the subject.
As soon as the chaplain ended his prayer,
and the minutes ofthella.-it meeting were read,
all eyes were turned to the Doctor. He rose,
and in a few words stated, that during the re-
cess he had listened attentively to all the argu-
ments pro and con which had been urged by
both sides ofthe House :-—that he had himself
said mticlt, and thought tnore on the subject—-
he saw dtfiicultics and objections which niiull}
be urged by iudivitlual states against every
scheme which had been proposed, 8: he tho’t
now, more than ever, that the Constitution
they were about to form-, in order to be just 82
equal, nnist be formed on the basis of corn-
promise and lYlUI.l_ltII concession. With such
views atid feelings he would now move a re-
cotisitleration of the vote last taken on the or-
gaiiizatiori oftlie senate. The motion was sec-
-Jl1(.IB(I, tlte vote carried, the former vote re-
scindctl, and by a successive motion and reso-
lution the senate was organized on the present
plan.
