JLx-Oovernor Heymour, of Connecticut, and (Jhauncey llurr, of New Jersey, were among uie speakera. air. tjey lnonr, in concluding hi remarks, aaid : " "In Connecticut the Constitution would never have been adopted had not Ellsworth gone to the Convention and assured them, on his oath, that the Constitution did not attempt to coerce sover eign bodies, defining his meaning of ench bodies as (States in their political capacity. Another of the fathers asserted that there was no power m the Constitution to force a State back into tba Union, as'such action would involve the good and the bad in one common calamity. Ilad he lived to this day lie would see that state of things fully carried out.
