In the letter Of Chic fJustice Shaw, OF Mas
sachusetts, published IN onr paper last week,
n fact Is mentioned, which we have no recol-
lection of having ever seen noticed before
IL is, that the first written constitution OF go
ivcrnmcnt that can be found in the history Of
civilized nations, was formed by the Pilgrims
/ in the cabin Of the Muy-Flower, before they
! had set their feet upon the shores OF AmerI-
ca. That was voluntary association, form
ed by those extraordinary cmlgrants, Tor the
government Of the Colony they were about to
establish, and for the regulation OF their own
individual conduct 1t contains in brief but
emphatic terms, the fundamental principles
winch constitute the basis OF our free repre-
sentative systems, and from winch have
grown all the written constitutions OF the Sc
vrral states Of this united rcpnoIic. Indeed
the example has extended lis influence lar
beyond the limits of the nation, the iounda-
ton of which they were then preparing to
lay. In the emancipatcd Spanish provinces,
situated on the other half Of this continent
the systems of government which they have
adopted are essentially derived from ours, and
! therefore may bc traced back to that devised
| by the passengers on board the May-Flower.
/ Nor is this all. AS far as the nations of Flu
rope have advanced in the melioration of
their condition by breaking down their old
dcspotisms, and adopting more free, just and
liberal forms of Government, their written
constitutions shew their regular descent from
the Plymouth Pilgrims. And we hazard but
little in expressing the belief, that rs the ma
tons of the Old World gradually advance in
the great work of improving their condition,
bv the establishment Of more liberal systems
Of government, they will be obliged pract-
caily to acknowledge their obligations to the
founders Of New Eng land for the tundamen-
tai principles ofthelr new constltutions.-l.N.
