# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCXXIII

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅢ. J.B. Cutting to Thomas Jefferson.
London July 11. 1788
Mr Martin, the attorney general, who was primarily appointed to that office by Mr Chase—was by the same influence deputed to represent the state—after Mesrs Carrol, Johnson &c &c the first choice of the legislature declined quitting Maryland even upon the important business of new-framing the national government. Mr Chase having just before menaced the Senate for rejecting a wide emission of paper money—and appealed to the people against them—they had joined in that general issue—and cou’d not venture to relinquish to a violent and headstrong party their active influence in the senate as well as in the lower house—at the very moment—when it was so essentially needed to stem the torrent of the populace for the paper. Those Gentlemen therefore remained at home—convinced their fellow citizen of their superior rectitude and wisdom—and defeated that favourite measure of Mr Chase: meanwhile Mr Martin and Mr John F. Mercer—a young gentleman whom you well know—went to the general Convention—opposed the great leading features of the plan which was afterwards promulged—withdrew themselves from any signature of it:—and from the moment when it was proposed for ratification—in conjunction with Mr Chase and his sure coadjutor Mr Paca—exerted every effort to hinder its adoption. So far did Mr Martin proceed in his avowed hostility, as even to detail in the face of decency—before the assembled Legislature of Maryland—the petty dialogues and paltry anecdotes of every description—that came to his knowledge in conventional committees and private conversations with the respective members of the Convention—when at Philadelphia. I blush’d in my own bed-chamber when I read his speech on this side of the Atlantic.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅣ. George Washington to Sir Edward Newenham.
Mount Vernon July 20th. 1788
Although there were some few things in the Constitution recommended by the fœderal Convention to the determination of the People, which did not fully accord with my wishes; yet, having ​taken every circumstance seriously into consideration, I was convinced it approached nearer to perfection than any government hitherto instituted among men. I was also convinced, that nothing but a genuine spirit of amity and accomodation could have induced the members to make those mutual concessions and to sacrifice (at the shrine of enlightened Liberty) those local prejudices, which seemed to oppose an insurmountable barrier, to prevent them from harmonising in any System whatsoever.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩ. Edmund Randolph in the Virginia Convention.
June 25, 1788.
Governor Randolph.—Mr. Chairman—One parting word I humbly supplicate.
The suffrage which I shall give in favor of the constitution, will be ascribed by malice to motives unknown to my breast, But although for every other act of my life, I shall seek refuge in the mercy ​of God—for this I request his justice only. Lest however some future annalist should in the spirit of party vengeance, deign to mention my name, let him recite these truths,—that I went to the federal convention with the strongest affection for the union; that I acted there in full conformity with this affection; that I refused to subscribe because I had, as I still have, objections to the constitution, and wished a free enquiry into its merits; and that the accession of eight states reduced our deliberations to the single question of union or no union.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅡ. Mr. Smith in the New York Convention.
4 July 1788
Mr. Smith
   “Resolved as the Opinion of this Committee
   that the President of the United States shall hold his Office during the Term of seven Years & that he shall not be eligible a second
   Time.”
This he says was at one Time a Resolution of the grand Convention—— (& I suppose we must adhere to that Idea which upon more mature Consideration appeared to them improper.)

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅠ. Debate in the New York Convention.
June 28, 1788.
Hon. Mr. Lansing. … It has been admitted by an honorable gentleman from New York, (Mr. Hamilton,) that the state governments are necessary to secure the liberties of the people. He has urged several forcible reasons why they ought to be preserved under the new system; and he has treated the idea of the general and state governments being hostile to each other as chimerical. I am, however, firmly persuaded that an hostility between them will exist. This was a received opinion in the late Convention at Philadelphia. That honorable gentleman was then fully convinced that it would exist, and argued, with much decision and great plausibility, that the state governments ought to be subverted, at least so far as to leave them only corporate rights, and that, even in that situation, they would endanger the existence of the general government. But the honorable gentleman’s reflections have probably induced him to correct that sentiment.
(Mr. Hamilton here interrupted Mr. Lansing, and contradicted, in the most positive terms, the charge of inconsistency included in the preceding observations. This produced a warm personal altercation between those gentlemen, which engrossed the remainder of the day.)

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅠ. John Lansing to Abraham Yates and Melancton Smith.
Octb. 3d 1788.
I take the Liberty to transmit you enclosed the State of Mr. Hamilton’s & my observations respecting his sentiments delivered ​in the general Convention & Judge Yates’s Information on that subject.
I have confined myself to the Revisal of my own observations, leaving Mr. Hamilton & Mr. Jay to do the like with theirs—Some of the observations of the former are not accurately stated & some omitted, but I suppose he will correct them.
In the paper enclosed wherever it is divided into Columns the first Column contains the sentiments of Judge Yates or myself as revised—the second is a Copy of Mr. Child’s verbatim—in the other parts my sentiments are of my own stating—those of the others of Mr Childs—without the least Alteration.
It would have been my wish that this Business might have been represented by Child’s after subjecting the Revisions of both parties to the perusal of the other—but tho’ I intimated this to Mr. Childs he never signified any assent & I would not repeat it.—Mr. Hamilton may therefore give such an Account of it as he thinks proper—I shall only reserve the Right if I suppose it is not accurate to contradict it.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅧ. Charles Pinckney to James Madison.
Charleston March 28: 1789.
Are you not, to use a full expression, abundantly convinced that the theoretical nonsense of an election of the members of Congress by the people in the first instance, is clearly and practically wrong.—that it will in the end be the means of bringing our councils into contempt & that the legislature are the only proper judges of who ought to be elected?——
Are you not fully convinced that the Senate ought at least to be double their number to make them of consequence & to prevent their falling into the same comparative state of insignificance that the state Senates have, merely from their smallness?—

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅣ. Benjamin Franklin to the Duc de La Rochefoucald.
Philada. [Oct. 22, 1788].
That which you mention did not pass unnoticed in the Convention. Many, if I remember right, were for making the President incapable of being chosen after the first four Years; but a Majority were for leaving the Election free to chuse whom they pleas’d; and it was alledged that such Incapability might tend to make the President less attentive to the duties of his Office, and to the Interests of the People, than he would be if a second Choice depended on their good opinion of them.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅨ. James Madison in the House of Representatives.
May 13, 1789.
I conceive the constitution, in this particular, was formed in order that the Government, whilst it was restrained from laying a total prohibition, might be able to give some testimony of the sense of America with respect to the African trade. We have liberty to impose a tax or duty upon the importation of such persons, as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit; and this liberty was granted, I presume, upon two considerations: The first ​was, that until the time arrived when they might abolish the importation of slaves, they might have an opportunity of evidencing their sentiments on the policy and humanity of such a trade. The other was, that they might be taxed in due proportion with other articles imported; for if the possessor will consider them as property, of course they are of value, and ought to be paid for.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅤ. James Madison to G.L. Turberville.
New York, Novr. 2, 1788.
I am not of the number if there be any such, who think the Constitution lately adopted a faultless work. On the contrary there are amendments wch I wished it to have received before it issued from the place in which it was formed. …
Having witnessed the difficulties and dangers experienced by the first Convention, which assembled under every propitious circumstance, I should tremble for the result of a Second, meeting in present temper of America and under all the disadvantages I have mentioned.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅥ. A Citizen of New Haven [Roger Sherman], Ⅰ.
It is proposed that members of congress be rendered ineligible to any other office during the time for which they are elected members of that body.
This is an objection that will admit of something plausible to be said on both sides, and it was settled in convention on full discussion and deliberation. There are some offices which a member ​of congress may be best qualified to fill, from his knowledge of public affairs acquired by being a member, such as minister to foreign courts, &c., and on accepting any other office his seat in congress will be vacated, and no member is eligible to any office that shall have been instituted or the emoluments increased while he was a member.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅦ. Charles Pinckney to Rufus King.
Charleston, January 26, 1789.
You know I always preferred the election by the legislature, to that of the people, & I will now venture to pronounce that the mode which you & Madison & some others so thoroughly contended for & ultimately carried is the greatest blot in the constitution—of this however more hereafter.

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅡ. James Madison to Philip Mazzei.
New York, Octr. 8th. 1788.
You ask me why I agreed to the constitution proposed by the Convention of Philada. I answer because I thought it safe to the liberties of the people, and the best that could be obtained from the jarring interests of States, and the miscellaneous opinions of Politicians; and because experience has proved that the real danger to America & to liberty lies in the defect of energy & stability in the present establishments of the United States.—Had you been a member of that assembly and been impressed with the truths which our situation discloses, you would have concurred in the necessity which was felt by the other members. …

​ⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅢ. Lord Dorchester to Lord Sydney.
It is generally admitted that the federal convention which assembled at Philadelphia in 1787, was composed of many of the ablest men in the states; after much previous discussion, three plans were submitted to their consideration and debated:
1st. That of New Jersey, supposed to be the production of ​Governor Livingston, which went merely to the increase of the powers of the present congress; it was judged insufficient.
2nd. Colonel Hamilton’s, that had in view the establishment of a monarchy, and the placing the crown upon the head of a foreign prince, which was overruled, although supported by some of the ablest members of the convention.
3rd. That of Virginia which was adopted.
# The Rio Grande

United States Supreme Court
86 U.S. 178
The Rio Grande
APPEAL from the Circuit Court for the District of Louisiana; the case being thus:
The Judiciary Act as amended by an act of 1803 gives appeals to this court from the Circuit Courts in admiralty causes, 'where the matter in dispute exceeds the sum or value of $2000, exclusive of costs.'These provisions of law being in force, the steamer Rio Grande, owned, as was alleged, by persons in Mexico, being in the port of Mobile, in the Southern District of Alabama, certain material-men, on the 26th of November, 1867, filed separate libels against her in the District Court for the said district. The libels, with their numbers and the names of the libellants on the docket, were thus:
No. 221. William Otis, for $1,508 00
No. 222. Joseph Hastings, 83 75
No. 223. R. D. Post & Co., 125 00
No. 224. Lyons & Keyland, 1,411 83
No. 225. G. B. & C. B. Gwin & Co., 713 00
Upon process issued on these libels the vessel was seized by the marshal and held by him during the pendency of the proceedings in the said court.
Several other libels had apparently been filed against the same steamer. The record at least contained this entry, which, as it is referred to in what is said by the learned justice who delivered the opinion of this court, and apparently as affecting the case, is here set out:

# The Rock of Wisdom; An Explanation of the Sacred Scriptures/The Ark

THE ARK.
Dear brothers and sisters, we love one another,
And have done, for years that have gone;
How often we've met him in sweet heavenly union,
Who opens the way to God's throne;
With joy and thanksgiving we'll praise him that lov'd us,
While we run the bright shining way;
Though we part here in body, we're bound for one glory,
And bound for each other to pray.
There Joshua and Joseph, Elias and Moses,
Who pray'd and God heard from his throne.
There was Abram, and Isaac, and Jacob, and David,
And Solomon, Stephen and John.
There was Simeon and Anna—I don't know how many,
Who pray'd as they journey'd along;
Some cast among lions—some bound with rough irons;
Yet praises and glory they sung.
Some tell us that praying, and also that praising,
"Is labor that's all spent in vain:
But we have such witness, that God hears with sweetness;
From praying we will hot refrain. There was old father Noah and ten thousand more,
Who witness'd that God heard them pray;
There was Samuel and Hannah, Paul, Silas and Peter,
And Daniel and Jonah, we'll say,
That God by his Spirit, and angel did visit
Their souls while in this happy frame.
Shall we all go a fainting, while they went a praising,
And glorified God in a flame!
God grant us inherit the same, praying spirit,
While we shall be toiling below,
That when we've done praying, we shall not cease praising
But around God's throne we shall bow.
[And now pious friends, when you read these lines which have been penned by me, think of me in solemn prayer; let me be on land or sea, I intend to stand for liberty, for Christ has set me free.]
For this love let rocks and mountains;
Purling streams and crystal fountains: Roaring thunders, lightning blazes, Shout the great Messiah's praises. Amen.
