FOR AND AGAINST THE NEW CONSTI1

The new constitution was opposed by
the men who had lived remote from the
centers of population and the stronger
currents of trade, whose lives had no wide
connections and sufficied them: by men
who were more likely to be debtors than
to be creditors and wished their States
left at liberty to legalize a deprecated
currency: by men whose homes were
upon the Western rivers which ran to-
wards Spanish territory. not towards the
ports Of the East and who doubted their
real connection Of interest with the sea-
board; by the great landowners Of New
York, whose estates shut free farmers
out who had been masters of the State
hitherto and wished to keep intact her
right to collect duties at her great port
her power to put her neighbors at dis
advantage: by conservative men who
feared to see one group of States take
advantage OF their majority to obtain
commercial ascendency over another
group.
Tories voted for the constitution be-
cause they hoped to be safer under it;
many extreme "Whigs" voted against 1t
because they thought that they would be
little freer without It
Those who admired a centered and efii-
cient government like that of England
and regretted separation. were its ad-
vocates: those who ardently preferred
their own little commonwealths and
looked upon them as their best field OF
prosperity or of personal ambition were
its opponents.
Men voted for 1t because they hated
anarchy and confusion of authority and
wished to see a nation created in Amer
lea. as Mr.. Hamilton did: and against
it because they thought that where an
archy was impossible liberty was inse-
cure.
No doubt, could there have been a
counting of heads the country through, a
ma jority would have been found opposed
to the Constitution: but the men who
were its active and efficient advocate.

1t had been a notable thing to see how

English prose.
At the very outset of the Revolution.
at the first touch Of national feeling.
America had found her voice and pro-
duced of a sudden her school Of states
men and of writers.
The strong emotions of the time had
seemed to spring easily into words
words that told instantly upon mems
spirits on both sides of the sea, and
made themselves at once vehicles OF
power.
Now a new strain. a new impulse. OF
those who build and make good what
they have achieved. was upon the lead
crs Of the young States. and they spoke
their chastened thought like masters.
Very few men in America had used the
pen for achievement or the satisfaction
OF the force that was In them until this
supreme day Of struggles came when a
new nation was born and the very abb
stract principles of liberty entered into
their imaginations and possessed theiT
minds. like things that lived and had CT
themselves power to prevail.
Men had not often turned to the maxi
ing Of books during the long days of set
tlement, when the colonies were a-mak-

work in the forests or upon the sea or
in the conduct Of affairs.
Here and there some man of thought
full spirt, bred to his books in old Eng
land. would turn again for solace and
relief of heart in that wilderness to his
studies. as gentle George Sandys did.
Sir Edwin's brother. who had quickened
the heavy nights at jamestown with
coming noble English verses out Of the
Metamorphoses of Ovid.
Once and again some gentle woman
like Anne Bradstreet, of quick wit and
thoughts that moved uneasy amidst her
narrow. pent-up life. would seek outlet
Of spirit in bits OF prose. that spoke her
deeper moods. or verses into which she
sought TO put her image of the world.
Men did not always merely preach. OF
speak only in town meeting. or put pen
to paper only in letters Of business.
William Bradford. the peasant scholar
who ruled Plymouth, wrote the moving

OF his habit is that he has developed great fund
of ill-feeling. Every time he uses one of those
violent expressions he speaks angrily and loud

He would be astonished if he knew how, in ap-
parenty attacking others so bitterly and fool
ishly, he was really attacking himself and
making himself more abjectly his own victim.
incidentally, he is great disturber of the peace
He also makes a great many enemies. Though
he seldom attacks any one directly his censorous
words are often repeated and reach the people CEN

qualities, he is pretty generally disliked and by
