How preposter- ous to suppose that such was the intention of the far-seeing men who framed the Constitu- tion — men who for seven long weary years had been expending their treasure and their blood to free their country fi-om despotic rule, and Tid it of a list of crying grievances, the very first of which, as enumerated in the declara- tion, they had pledged •' their lives, their for- tmies and their sacred honors, '' to maintain, they M-ere now about conferring the power on the" Federal govern...ment to inliict anew. If this was their intention, what a sudden change nnist have come over their sjjirits and the spirits of the people who ratified their do- ings. Hitherto so jealous had been the same people of consolidated power, so tenacious had they \)een of the individual rights of the colonies and the States, that both the " Revolutionary trovcrnnicnt originating from the one, and the r^onfe deration instituted by the other, possess- ed scarcely a seml)lance of sovereign ])o\ver, but depended'idmost wholly on the voluntary ac- cord and action of the people and States, to give their decrees or rather declarations, the least ])raclical force.
