We complete to day the publication of a sketch
Of the Massachusetts Convention which ratified
the United States Constitution. This abridge
ment of the long and interesting debates will
serve to show those who have read it what were
the points of special difficulty in forming a Union
of the States, perhaps quite as well would a
sketch of the Federal Convention itself 1t was
manifest that no Union could be had so long as
any one State insisted on the adoption of its in
situations for all the country, and il only by
Yielding one and another desire by one and an
other State that Union of all was at last
effected. There were some points in this MasSa
chusetts Convention worthy of special notice in
our own time. Some radical men in that State
opposed Washington because of his views on
slavery. and one man in the Convention expressed
the opinion that Washington was deprecated
fifty per cent in his estimation by the fact of his
owning slaves. 1t will also be remarked by
readers of this debate that there was an ION to
Richmond party in revolutionary times, and
that Washington was attacked, rs Mcclellan is
now attacked, for not moving on when the out
cry of certain politicians demanded il. The ma
ton has cause t0 be grateful as the writer OF this
abridgement remarks. that Union was formed
with Shareholders like Washington. and also it is
to be remembered now with devout thanks that

radical men in his time, and he not deposed
from his command for offending them by his re

cheap edition of the Madison papers. relating to
the Federal Convention. 1t would be most de
sirable work to place in the hands OF the people
now and We suggest it for the benefit of any en-
terprsing publisher 1t is very important that
the spirit of the trainers of the Constitution should
be revived among US. new ism has been late
ly introduced into American politics. 1t may be
styled unity ism in opposition to the Union. The
proposal to make the nation homogeneous and
the principle is that the Union only be perma
nent as the nation becomes a unit in Institutions
and opinions The next step would lead us to
one religion, and the same men would demand
that We all worship God alike. They will argue
that Protestants and Catholics not unite in
Government unless they make coaescing nsti-
tuition in their religion Politically, this new dog
tends a consolidated government with a
despOtic head Radcalism demands a universal
concession to itself bowing down of all men to
its tenents. This doctrine is taught abuudantly
by imported Republicans from Europe. II was
laid down by Carl Schurz two weeks ago and ap-
pauded by his audience. The best retutatiOn it
could have would be a study OF the debates in
the Federal Convention where the Union was
formed on the grand foundation of mutual con-
ceSSiOnS-JOur OF Com
