IN the greatest trusts, connected him with

elected, from the county Of Spottsylyap:s
a member OF the legislature OF Virginia. and
IN iISo a member of the convention of that
state, called to decide on the present con.
st'tution Of the United Slater. The d;stin.
seished men who had conducted the affairs
oil that state during the revolution were
members OF that convention. With them
ne was comparatively young man aud
'or the'r experience and knowledge. il mai
DC presumed, he entertained the highest
respect. They had just claim to tale
the lead IN the debate, aud did take it. He
was, however, drawn into discussion ON
more than one interesting occasion. In
ule volume containing the debates of the
Virgilia convention we find two instances
OF this sort one his speech at large ON the
general subject; the other statement
made by him OF the proceedings of Con-
gress, as to the negotiation, between the
secretary OF foreign affairs and the miuis-
ters oil Spain, then residing in the United
States, about the surrender of the right to
navigate the Mississippi for twenty-five
years. To this measure Mr.. NJ. had been
ldecldedly opposed. Werefer to the speech
hrst mentioned for proof of his knowledge
OF the principles Of our government gener.
ally, and to the last for proof of his deyo.
ton to the interests of the nation on an en-
iarged scale, and his zeal in support of its
rights.
In 179o,Mr. NJ. was elected By the lie.
legislature OF Virginia, member Of Sen.
ate OF the United States, in which he acted
until l794. 1t is inconsistent with our
plan, to furnish minute detail of his ser.
wees IN that station. 1t is known that he
took part in the debate on every imDor.
tant subject, and made an impression ON
his cotcmporaries which still continues
Parties had then began to assume fixed
character. The revolution in Franz.
which, especially in its commencement.
had some analogy with our own, excited
me feelings OF the American people
There were some among us, whose pulse
did not Beat in unison with this great
movement. There were others, who
thought that the enthusiasm displayed in
ITS favor By our fellow citizens, though
honest and praisewOrthy in itself, was in
discreet, and might emDarrass us, by irri-
tatlng the powers hostile to France. In
this class we always placed the illustrioua
w ashlngton.s Many might be enumerat.
ed, who stood forth the advocates and sun.
Porrters of the sound principles of our revo-
luton, and on which our national and state
governments are founded. Mr.. M. was
decidedly of the latter party. While he
sustained this character in the Senate of
the United States, he was appointed. by
General Washington, in 1894, minister
PlenlPotentlary to France. 1t is believed
tnat TINS appointment was conferred upon
nun, not only without any application in
his behalf, but without any expectation ON
the part OF himself or his friends, that such
an appointment would be proposed.
