Washington and Marshall.
THE work OF Washington in the found
ing of this Union marks turning point
in the history Of mankind. Down to that
time there had existed but one type Of
Federal government. whose instability and
inefiiciency was universally admitted. Our
first Federal constitution, built upon the
old plan, gave way 80 entirely in the
storm and stress Of war that at its close
the French Ambassador wrote TO his gov
ernment that the Constitution had vir-
tuaIy disappeared. He said that the only
thing that now holds the American States
together is a man. and that man is
Washington. Four years before the Fed
eral convention Of 1857 met, Pelatiah Web
ster. of Philadelphia, the architect Of our
existing Constitution. published his plan
TO the world.
Under the Presidency of Washington,
the master builders who sat in the con-
vention gave to that plan its final form
and put It into effect. But let US not
delude ourselves with the fancy that the
paper constitution thus made was COM
