the new Constitution has been received is
one Of the marvels Of modern politics

who express themselves entirely satisfied
with its provisions and willgive it a hearty
support. Indeed there is no good reason
why one party rather than another should
be interested 10 its favor, for it is not il
any sense q party Constitution, but the
bitter Radical hostility to the meeting Of
the Convention led many to expect that q
party fight would be made upon the ques.
