briefly. TO the action Of this body having re-
ference 10 this great revolution. Your acts
as Con ven ton to adopt Constitution have
been admitted to your constituents, and have
received their unanimous approval. Your
scs, also, In your legislative capacity, hay.
received like apr oval, and l think. when
the Journals Of this body shall be sub
mitted TO The country, nothing will be- found
to mar the harmony with which the result OF
that action is viewed.
may be permitted to refer TO one thou,b,
which, above all others, has characterixao
yoor action and It nects credit upon the In tel
hsence OF tho people. Ours is the nrst rsvo.
