NATIONAL VERMONT AUGUST l6 1872

The proposed great meeting of
the "Dolly Nardens," ut Randolph
Centre last Saturday night. was u
supreme taste. BlaiSdcll marshall
ed seven of the "laithfuw aud took
them mp from West Randolph, but
they met with no enthusiastic re-
ception at the Cent re; in fact no
one turned out, and the Town Hall.
where the meeting was to be held,
was not opC ned.
SO BaiS lell "marched his army
up the All and then, marched them
down again"
The only result of this "grand
rally was that the delegation from
West Randolph, requested their
candidate for Judge of Probate,
Jesse Carter, to circulate n subscrip
ton paper to raise funds TO driray
the expenses of the grand ratIiica
ton meeting" ut West Rondolph
next Saturday. and he, after look
ing over the "crowd,' refused to do
so, and left in disgust.
We are also informed that the

The w0rkmen in Abbott's steam

they flung out nice flag bearing
the names of the next President

were from 100 to 90 people present,
without any previous notice being
given. Col. j. b. Mead was present,

tIon # ia indeed remarkable fact that this
most important question should have been 80
completely neglected and Ignored, and that
credit should never have been given to The
distinguished Rutledge, OF, South Carolina,
tor the composition and completion OF the
most admirable form and system OF govern
ment (before its recent destructi0n} that was
ever ever devised BY the wisdom of man; while the
anthor Of the Declaration of Independence
has been almost deihed for that mere declara-
tion of liberty and separation from the moth-
er country-a paper certainly far Inferior TO
his other great declaration OF the sovereign
rights Of the States contained In his celeD. .aleo
Kentucky resolutions of 1883. The antnor-
ship OF the United States constitution has peen
usually and without - nsideration attributed
tn Madison who Wass, s'the father OF the
CONSTITUTIONS" which designation has led to the
belief that this great production had oeeh
composed and written by him. whereas tne
truth is that las shown by the Journals Oh
the conventton) he was not even upon ti t.,e
committee which framed aud reported tne
constitution, but was (as himself declares) 30
Constantly occupied in writing his own journal
and commentaries that he had not time even
tn narticipate to any extent in the debates OF
the convention. The title OF father
of the constitution" was bestowed upon
sons sli lst, because he had <1ar5t pro-
posed the calling of the CONVENTION to frame
thst Instrument; I'd, because he had 80 ear
nestIy and industriously advocated 1t In his
able essays In that admirable work called the
Federalist; Sd, because he had so ably sup
ported and carried its adoption In the Virginia
Convention against the united opposition OF
all the other most distinguished men Of Viz
einia, amongst whom was that great orator
and statesman Patrick Henry, who with won
derfll prescience and prophetic vision pre-
dicted the very Infamous state of things that
now exists, and declared that If the constltll.
tlon as 1t stood should be adopted without
further restrictions upon the general govern
ment, 1t would result (as 1t has) In few lead
ing and designing demagogues Inducing Con
gress to usurp all power, and to destroy the
prerogatlves of the Executive and the Judlct-
ary. Itmay be regarded as one OF the signs
of the degeneracy and decentralization OF the
present era that the Importance and value OF
the constitution in it's original purity are so
utterly disregarded, aHd that consequently its
authorship should be equally Ignored and
neglected. Still It Is with lingering hope
that there may be yet some few patrlotic
statesmen and scholars who would be ashamed
of being ignorant OF the authorship OF the
greatest political production of our country,
and who would wish to be able to answer The
constantly repeated inquiry oi foreigners;
s.WhO wrote the constitution OF yonr c0nntry!"
