THE CENTENNIAL OF THE Ma
TIONAL CONSTITUTION.
New York city is adjusting herself for an
International Exhibition during the Gen.
tennial month and year Of the Constitution
Of the United States, September 18th, 1887.
One hundred years before that date, George
Washington, President Of the Constitutions
ri Convention Of the United States, adj
dressed the following letter to " His Excel
lency, the President OF Congress-" assem-
blsd at Independence Hall, in the city Of
Philadelphia. The letter is at once com
prehensive and prophetic. To consolidate

Washington and his associates. The Ar

new amendments, after a great civil war,
that the chief object Of the fathers OF the
Republic was attained. And now all parties

Constitution could be commemorated in no

srn: We have now the honor to submit
"a the consideration Of the United States in
coryress assembled. that Consultation
which has appeared TO us the most advisa-
ble.
Thu friends OF our country have long
seen and desired that the power Of making
war, peace and treaties, that Of levying
money and regulating commerce, and the
correspondent executive and judicial au-
thoritics. should be fully and e~ffectually
vested in the General Government Of the
Union; but the improperly Of delegating
such extensive trust to one body Of men is
ev;dent: hence results the necessity for .
difEarcnt Organization.
II IA obviously impracticable in the Fed
eral Goyernment OF these States to secure
ali rights OF independent sovereignty to
each. and vet provide for the interest and

with precision the line between those rights
which must be surrendered and those which
