ident of the convention. A committee was then appointed to prepare and re- port rules for conducting business. This detail being satisfactorily ar ranged, Gov. Edmund Randolph of Virginia opened the business of the convention. He proceeded to outline the objections to the Articles of Con federation the inadequacy of which called forth this meeting. Randolph's speech is given in full, in addition to the resolutions he offered as basis or working plan for the Constitution. These resolutions were 15 in number and bore the distinction of being the first plan to be offered for the closer and firmer welding of a union which had been rapidly drifting towards dis solution. After MT. Randolph's ad- dress and resolutions, the convention resolved itself into a committee of the whole to take into consideration the state of the American Union.'
 "On May 30 began the true battle between the partisans of states rights and the group which favored strong centralized power and afterward be- came known as the 'Federalists.' By this time ten states were represented in the convention, and Randolph's resolutions were taken up in order.
 "On August 6 the convention ad- journed till the following day to give the members an opportunity to con- slider the report. MT. McHenry sug- gested a meeting with Messrs. Car roll, Jenifer, Mercer and Martin of the Maryland delegation to confer on the report and to prepare to act in uni son. This stormy conference took place at MT. Carroll's lodgings. and was marked by strong opinions.

 "In order to fix the opinions of his colleagues, McHenry drew up four propositions on the most consequen. tial articles, to lay before them at their meeting on the following eve ming. The propositions are given here in full. The diary then proceeds with the business of the convention on the 7th. The discussion then centered on the right of suffrage. Governor Nor ris held that to give that right to all freemen the government would un- doubtedly become an aristocracy, as it would put it in the power of men whose business created numerous de- on the subject:
 "'He observed that in time of war a country owed much to the lower class of citizens. Our late war was an in- stance of what they could suffer and perform. If denied the right of suf frage it would debase their spirit and detach them from the interest of the country. One thousand of our seamen were confined in English prisons-had bribes offered to go on board English vessels, which they rejected
 From then on matters progressed rapidly although not without debate of every viewpoint and angle. By September 1 the system was in shape to refer to grand committee. They worked diligently and made some of the most important revisions that had thus far been thought of. One of the principal of these was the plan. for the election of the president. Septem Der the report was agreed to, and with some amendments was referred to the committee of detail. On Septem- Der 13 the second printed report was re- ceived. This was read, discussed and a few further. changes made, and on the 18th was ordered engrossed and 500 copies struck. On the 17th the final Constitution was delivered and the delegates proceeded to sign 1t. Mir. Randolph, MT. Mason and MT.

m R EW YORK. - Unexpectedly N there has come to light an IA unpublished diary of the meetings which resulted in ~ the Constitution and in the
 decision that the United
 States of America should be a republic and not a monarchy. Those conferences were secret each member of the convention was adjured to destroy his notes and besides the authorized record of Madison only two, 1t seems, of the private diaries were known to have been preserved. Lately the Anderson galleries announced without date a forthcoming sale of Washingtoniana. Almost immediately a visitor, repre- senting the McHenry family of Mary land. called upon MT. Sampson and submitted the diary of James McHen- ry. secretary on the staff of General Washington and second secretary of iwar-a manuscript not known outside that family.
 James McHenry, delegate from Mary land, took an active part in the forma- ton of the Constitution. He labored successfully in his own state to bring about it's ratification, notwithstanding the powerful opposition of Luther Martin and Samuel Chase. MT. Samp- son says of the newly revealed 'Orig- inal Manuscript Diary or Journal" kept by James McHenry during his attend ance at the Federal Constitutional con- vention from May 25, the opening, to September IS, the closing day:
 "This journal gives a remarkably clear account of the deliberations of the Federal convention. McHenry took his seat on the opening day of the sea- sion and, realizing the importance and historic value of the forthcoming pro- ceedings, kept this record from day to day. The first entry Is dated Phila- delphia, IA May, 17S7. Nothing of inn portance took place, however, until the 25th when, as stated in the jour nal, seven states being represented, viz: New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, Delaware, Virginia, North Caro- lima and South Carolina.
