The motives of those who usurped the power of ealabHtking a government for the people, I have not assailed and will not impugn. I know that it has resulted well; It might well do it, for it maintains the un limited sovereignty of the People, and puts no bonds on the majority’s rights to ruforin the government. It cannot be ainiM to re. mark lu connexion with this view ot the subject before us, that in 1776, the Con vention was composed «»l Delegates elected tVom 36 Counties and 7 towns-—that by a rule of the Convention it was ordained that m all questions before them, each county 1 ....... — , should have but one vole for its four or live 1 beiieve that the leaders of that day were f Delegates, and each '1 own one vote for its good men, and I am sure that they acted ' one D»>legHte.
