Statesman who presided over liz deliberations with

emphacnlly warned The Convention to " exercise
the hateful. malignant hend, party spirit" from then
councils and nothing could be inferred in the most
distant manner from tie whole course OF its proceed

nance the idea that there any diversity ol polItI-
cal opinion in The whole assembly. But one senti-
ment seemed 10 animate all The members, and that
was the promotion ol The groai Interests winch ihey
