I hazard an opinion nevertheless that the plan should it be adopted will neither effectually answer its national object nor prevent the local mischiefs which every where excite disgusts agst the state governments. The grounds of this opinion will be the subject of a future letter. I have written to a friend in Congs. Congress have taken some measures for disposing of their public land, and have actually sold a considerable tract. Another bargain I learn is on foot for a further sale.
Nothing can exceed the universal anxiety for the event of the Meeting here.
Reports and conjectures abound concerning the nature of the plan which is to be proposed. The public however is certainly in the dark with regard to it. The Convention is equally in the dark as to the reception wch. All the prepossessions are on the right side, but it may well be expected that certain characters will wage war against any reform whatever. If the present moment be lost it is hard to say what may be our fate.
