pp. 264, 283.
2 Secret Journals of Congress, toI. iv. pp. 44^130.
3 Elliot's Debates, toI. v. p. 97.
172 ADDRESSES (playing upon a well-known sensibility in New Eng- land) that the rapid settlement of the West would be injurious to the old States.^ We can now understand why it was that William Grayson, when he came to be a member of the Vir- ginia Convention which sat, two years later, in judg- ment on the Constitution, opposed its ratification with a vehemence second only to that of Patrick He...nry. Re- ferring to this very issue, Grayson exclaimed, in the Virginia Convention : " I look upon this as a contest for empire. . . . This contest of the Mississippi in- volves this great national contest ; that is, whether one part of the continent shall govern the other. The Northern States have the majority, and will endeavor to retain it. This is, therefore, a contest for dominion, for empire." ^ Patrick Henry cited this same sectional spectre, in order to frighten the Virginia Convention from the ratification of the Constitution.
