guard US from the ambitious views or un'

removed, and consequently the safety o.

Sensible as Mr.. Jefferson and his par.
sans were, that nary of their intended
measures were not sanctioned By the COD
stitusion, they early saw the necessity o.
endeavourlng to intimidate, or render de-
penaea, the guardians oft. A systema'

they have pursued with unremitred pers''

peaching others, they hope to attain then
end: that they could not have adopted 0
more proper course FOR attaining it, every

|. TIE period in which the constitution was a.
dopted. The sentiment alluded to was,
that the constitution was objectionable on
account OF the difficulty Of obtaining amend
ments; I-believe on the other band, that
the facility wherewith alterations may be
proposed and obtained, is not one Of the
least its inperfsetions. That provision
Of the state constitution OF Massachusetts,
which, agreeable to the general sentiment
and impression Of thu people, was at tle
time az its establishment, considered as an
obstacle not easily snSmoanted In the way
|. OF It's revisal until alterthe termof hneen
wears, had elapsed, was in my opinion, z
+ wise one though objected against OF n2-
ny at the time OF Ifs sdpptloa. fabont SIX
or seven years afterwards there was a Pe-
culiar season of fsrment and irritation
throughout large pornonof the common
wealth. Had it not been for that provision
in the constitution, which threw an o')a6a-
Gle in the wg... Of its revisaI for. :, Limited
time, it is probable It would thcn have IN
derwert some important alterations. fkis
public terment happily subsidSd, and when
the flfteen years elapsed, the Peffoa Wlea
the voice Of The people was called for, 70.
see whether they wished for arcvlsal, | do
not recolect that there was found one town
or corporation IN tie commonwealth, which
manifested tie desire OF an alteration, in
SO much as single article. IT the endof
another fifteen years; it IS probable the
public sentiment may hr found still the
same. Had as great, or even greater CD
stacies been thrown in the way Of altera-
tons in the constitution Of the United
States, for the term Of twenty years; IN
stead fits being exposed to frequent al
tcrations under the name Of amendments,
SO much am opposed to innovations in
national system, could not have viewedit
as less perfect. Upon this general princi-
pie I am at present opposed to any altera-
ton whatsoever in the constitution OF the
United States.
