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

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅠ. James Madison to Judge Roane.
September 2, 1819.
It could not but happen, and was foreseen at the birth of the Constitution, that difficulties and differences of opinion might occasionally arise in expounding terms and phrases necessarily used in such a charter; more especially those which divide legislation between the general and local governments; and that it might require a regular course of practice to liquidate and settle the meaning of some of them. But it was anticipated, I believe, by few, if any, of the friends of the Constitution, that a rule of construction would be introduced as broad and pliant as what has occurred. And those who recollect, and, still more, those who shared in what passed in the State conventions, through which the people ratified the Constitution, with respect to the extent of the powers vested in Congress, cannot easily be persuaded that the avowal of such a rule would not have prevented its ratification.

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅣ. Walter Lowrie of Pennsylvania in the United States Senate.
January 20, 1820.
In the Constitution it is provided that “the migration or importation of such persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year 1808, but a tax,” etc. In this debate it seems generally to be admitted, by gentlemen on the opposite side, that these two words are not synonomous; but what their meaning is, they are not so well agreed. One gentlemen tells us, it was intended to prevent slaves from being brought in by land; another gentleman says, it was intended to restrain Congress from interfering with emigration from Europe.
These constructions cannot both be right. The gentlemen who have preceded me on the same side, have advanced a number of pertinent arguments to settle the proper meaning of these words. ​I, sir, shall not repeat them. Indeed, to me, there is nothing more dry and uninteresting, than discussions to explain the meaning of single words. In the present case, I will only refer to the authority of Mr. Madison and Judge Wilson, who were both members of the Convention, and who gave their construction to these words, long before this question was agitated. Mr. Madison observes, that, to say this clause was intended to prevent emigration does not deserve an answer. And Judge Wilson says, expressly, it was intended to place the new States under the control of Congress, as to the introduction of slaves. The opinion of this latter gentleman is entitled to peculiar weight. After the Convention had labored for weeks on the subject of representation and direct taxes—when those great men were like to separate without obtaining their object, Judge Wilson submitted the provision on this subject, which now stands as a part of your Constitution. Sir, there is no man, from any part of the nation, who understood the system of our Government better than him; not even excepting Virginia, from whence the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Walker) tells us we have all our great men.

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅨ. James Madison to Joseph Gales.
Montpr. Aug. 26. 1821
I thank you for your friendly letter of the 20th. inclosing an extract from notes by Judge Yates, of debates in the Convention of 1787, as published in a N. Y. paper. The letter did not come to hand till yesterday.
If the extract be a fair sample, the work about to be published will not have the value claimed for it. Who can believe that so palpable a mistatement was made on the floor of the Convention, as that the several States were political Societies, varying from the lowest Corporation to the highest Sovereign; or that the States had vested all the essential rights of sovereignty in the Old Congress? This intrinsic evidence alone ought to satisfy every candid reader of the extreme incorrectness of the passage in question. As to the remark that the States ought to be under the controul of the Genl. Govt. at least as much as they formerly were under the King & B. parliament, it amounts as it stands when taken in its presumable meaning, to nothing more than what actually makes a part of the Constitution; the powers of Congs. being much greater, especially on the great points of taxation & trade than the B. Legislature were ever permitted to exercise.
​Whatever may have been the personal worth of the 2 delegates from whom the materials in this case were derived, it cannot be unknown that they represented the strong prejudices in N. Y. agst. the object of the Convention which was among other things to take from that State the important power over its commerce and that they manifested, untill they withdrew from the Convention, the strongest feelings of dissatisfaction agst. the contemplated change in the federal system and as may be supposed, agst. those most active in promoting it. Besides misapprehensions of the ear therefore, the attention of the note taker wd naturally be warped, as far at least as, an upright mind could be warped, to an unfavorable understanding of what was said in opposition to the prejudices felt.

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅢ. James Madison to Robert Walsh.
Montpr. Jany 11. 1820.
It is far from my purpose to resume a subject on which I have perhaps already exceeded the proper limits. But having spoken with so confident a recollection of the meaning attached by the Convention to the term “migration” which seems to be an important hinge in the argument, I may be permitted merely to remark that Mr. Wilson, with the proceedings of that assembly fresh on his mind, distinctly applies the term to persons coming to the U. S. from abroad, (see his printed speech p. 59): and that a consistency of the passage cited from the Federalist with my recollections, is preserved by the discriminating term “beneficial” added to “voluntary emigrations from Europe to America”

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅤ. James Madison to President Monroe.
Monpr. Feby. 10. 1820.
I have been truly astonished at some of the doctrines and declarations to which the Missouri question has led; and particularly so at the interpretation put on the terms “migration or importation &c”. Judging from my own impressions I shd. deem it impossible that the memory of any one who was a member of the Genl. Convention, could favor an opinion that the terms did not exclusively refer to migration & importation, into the U. S. Had they been understood in that Body in the sense now put on them, it is easy to conceive the alienation they would have there created in certain States: and no one can decide better than yourself the effect they would had in the State conventions, if such a meaning had been avowed by the advocates of the Constitution. If a suspicion had existed of such a construction, it wd. at least have made a conspicuous figure among the amendments proposed to the Instrument.

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅦ. James Madison to John Quincy Adams.
Montpr. June 13 1820
I have recd. & return my thanks for your polite favor accompanying the Copy of the printed Journal of the Federal Convention transmitted in pursuance of a late Resolution of Congress.
In turning over a few pages of the Journal, which is all I have done a casual glance caught a passage which erroneously prefixes my name, to ye proposition made on the 7th. day of Sepr. for making a Council of six members a part of the Executive branch of the Govt. The proposition was made by Col: George Mason one of the Virga. delegates, & seconded by Dr. Franklin. I cannot be mistaken in the fact: For besides my recollection which is sufficiently distinct on the subject, my notes contain the observations of each in support of the proposition.
As the original journal according to my extract from it, does not name the mover of ye propn the error, I presume must have had its source in some of the extrinsic communications to you; unless indeed it was found in some of the separate papers of the Secretary of the Convention: or is to be ascribed to a copying pen. The degree of symphony in the two names Madison & Mason may possibly have contributed to the substitution of the one for the other.
This explanation having a reference to others as well as myself, I have thought it wd. be neither improper nor unacceptable.

# The Return of Hyperion

1912.
The dungeon-clefts of Tartarus Are close beyond the mountains That are bound like a giant's girdle About the unstirred, unbreathing east. Alike on mountain and plain The night is as some iron dream That closes the soul in a crypt of dread, Apart from touch or sense of earth, As in the space of eternity.
What unseen light perturbs the darkness ? Behold ! it stirs and fluctuates Between the mountains and the stars That are set as guards above the prison Of the captive Titan-god. I know That in the depths beneath, Hyperion Divides the pillared vault of dark And briefly stands upon its ruin. Then light is laid upon the peaks, As the hand of one who climbs beyond; And now, the sun ! The sentinel stars Are dead with overpotent flame, And in their place Hyperion stands. The night is loosened from the land As a dream from the mind of the dreamer; A great wind blows across the dawn, Like the wind of the movement of the world.

DEDICATION
Notice the words: The man of distinction to whom this book is dedicated. Need I say: "You are that man."--THE AUTHOR.
The woman who may be induced by the title of this book to open it, can save herself the trouble; she has already read the work without knowing it. A man, however malicious he may possibly be, can never say about a woman as much good or as much evil as they themselves think. If, in spite of this notice, a woman will persist in reading the volume, she ought to be prevented by delicacy from despising the author, from the very moment that he, forfeiting the praise which most artists welcome, has in a certain way engraved on the title page of his book the prudent inscription written on the portal of certain establishments: Ladies must not enter.

# The Soul Of A Century/Gypsy melodies

GYPSY MELODIES
I am a gypsy, wild and free, My forehead is dark and sad; Only a coarsely woven shirt My body ever clad.
The woods are my nation and my skies, From my cap, green branches swing, A rough-hewn violin I’ve made To play on while I sing.
My bed, the softly spreading moss; The thunder is God’s own word. In spite of all, love forced its way And my gypsy heart was stirred.

# The Soul Of A Century/I was ever thinking

I WAS EVER THINKING
I was ever thinking of unknown, distant lands, Of flowered banks and palm trees that stretch in waving bands
Thinking of aged lions, of gulls in swooping flocks, Of long forgotten cities and old bells on castle tops.
Thinking of lofty mountains and deep, unfothomed seas, Of a splendid golden castle on a glass hill beyond the trees.
But now I think no longer of happy dreams gone by, I think only of you dear and of my joy when you were nigh.
Now I am thinking only of each winter’s cold I knew And if the grave you sleep in, is not too small for you.
I am forever thinking if in your verdant, grassy mound, Your casket of bright metal is o’er weighted with the ground.
And I am ever thinking if you can see me sigh and yearn, See how my heart grows weary, see how my sad eyes burn.
And I am ever thinking, throughout the day and night, If the shroud of white we gave you, is not a bit too tight.
Dear, I am ever thinking if you could take me with, As I used to take you, when you sighed or cried a bit.
Yes, I am ever thinking that when all my grief is post In your embrace, my dear one, I’ll find happiness at last.

# The Soul Of A Century/In nature (1)

IN NATURE
A Hundred years later I came to behold The grave where I was laid to sleep. The grave digger, singing one of my songs Had gathered my bones on a heap.
I said to the man, “Find my heart if you can, From whence came my song’s sad tones.” The man, quite bewildered, searching in vain, Found nothing but old bleached bones.
He straightened his back, looked up and said: “Down there, a heart has no worth. Though many the hearts you treasured before All smolder to dust in the earth.”
He finished. I sighed and haltingly asked; “Is this what you’ve accomplished my heart?” The grave digger said as if to comfort my grief: “Thus perish all who once played their part.”

GRANDPA’S TROUGH
In the hearth, a crackling log is burning Grandpa seated warms his hands and soul. Softly hums the wheel his son is turning, Carving out the wood a sturdy bowl.
What a queer chant this old wheel is singing; The grandson’s wondering eyes are wide awake; “See the curly shavings dad is spinning, Look at all the things that he can make!” From the forest came the log you’re breaking, “Whose will be the finished wood-trough dad? “Tis for grandpa . . . his old hands are shaking, He broke all the dishes that he had.”
“Teach me how to do this . . .” “Look here, laddie! Why should your hands learn these things to do?” “Some day when your hands will tremble, daddy, I will make a wooden trough for you.”
In the hearth a crackling log is spouting. A shamefaced son clasps grandpa’s trembling hands. The shaping wheel is still, the boy is shouting “Daddy, tell me why the wheel now stands?”

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
I would like to know . . . I would like to know . . How has warm Spring arrived? On the wings of birds did it fly down? Was it bom in the dew-drops pearly gown? Or was it from my soul derived?
I would like to know . . . I would like to know . . What Springtime means to love. Why to embrace and kiss and dream We are driven by flowers and a moonlight beam ’Neath the peaceful stars above?
I would like to know . . . I would like to know . . What in my soul found rest. Is it love’s burning flame divine Or bits of flickering songs that shine, Or a passing dream at best . .

GRAVEYARD BLOSSOMS
IX
Do not weep my comrade, do not worry, ’Cause life’s mysteries give you no rest, Eat and drink and spend life in a hurry, Deep in your grave you’ll have time to digest.
When you die, you will be freed forever, Only dust will you become again, And what puzzled here your best endeavor Still an unsolved puzzle will remain.
For the very song your mind is weaving Shall be sung throughout the time of storms, Vexing falsehoods that have left you grieving Shall vex other men in other forms.

# The Soul Of A Century/Greetings to my native land

GREETINGS TO MY NATIVE LAND
The day is full of scent and piercing light I am blinded by the beauty of the morn, Upon the fields now restless waves alight Of grains that from this fertile land were born.
My native land! I wish my soul could swell With a tourist’s joy and nothing else beside. To think is loathsome . . . Perhaps it is as well That to this land my heart strings are not tied.
I greet it not with love but with a sneer! A local townsman burdened with his own weight Approaches slowly in his Sunday gear, With his heavy breathing, overfattened mate . . .
It is quite likely they were born and reared Here, where they spent their blunt-edged joys and strife. Peopled few homes with a progeny they steered Until they too were capable of life . . .
And when in years will end their earthly toil In peace, contentment they will close their eyes And gratefully, this bit of native soil Their elements in death will fertilize . . .

I AM SO LONELY
I am so lonely, God above, Like the pear-tree yonder; Fear and sorrow hand in hand, Through my sad soul wander.
In the pear-tree, God above, At least the birds are singing; While despair and agony Through my soul are ringing.
You pour your sunshine, God above, Over the tree at will; Have you not a single ray, My darkened soul to fill?

I CLOSE MY EYES AND DARKNESS OVERTAKES ME
Oh the beauty of your limbs, so white and slender, Oh the endless longing in your dreamy eyes, Oh the strength of passion that within you lies, Oh the tempting nets of your tresses wild surrender.
A siren’s song, angelic voice and Judgment’s call Dreams of a Spring asleep for centuries, All this assails me in my memories, And all this tempts me in your arms to fall.
I close my eyes, and yield to the wings of night, Like a star, your being pours a stream of light It seems, in you, I hold all Beauty’s mold.
Oh mystery, oh flames of a burning kiss, Oh flaming tears, boundless abandon of bliss, Oh budding breasts and hair of molten gold!

I COULD NOT FORGET
The clouds are sailing toward the west, They coll me from above in vain, As I recline my head to rest . . . “Come with us, once, come west again. Perhaps out there you could forget.” The clouds have passed; I too passed by Where the oceans roll and mountains rise, My path was marked for me on high, By troubled clouds - - - two troubled eyes. These, too, I never could forget.
Life is so fair beyond the sea Where God all mankind rules and shields, Where arms are strong and hearts are free Beautiful are the rolling fields, To them who have learned to forget.
I stood where lands and oceans meet, Gazing beyond the water’s foam. And though this were the Eden’s seat I could not rest away from home, Because I learned not to forget.
Keep passing westward at your pleasure, Men and clouds and birds of flight But for all your wealth and treasure Our poverty and plight This I never could forget.
