The delegates from Western Massachusetts were George Bliss of Springfield and. Joseph Lyman of Northampton. The body was one of the most respectable, in the points of talent, acquirements, patriotism, statesman- ship and high moral and social worth, ever assembled, on ^* HARTFORD CONVENTION. 329 any occasion, within the United States. Conj^ress, imme- diately after the adjournment of the Convention, passed a law which was signed by the President, following out, to the letter, its principal reco...mmendations, which recommend- ations accorded fully with the principles and policy on which Gov. Strong had acted from the first. The recom- mendations of the Convention were that the States take measures to protect their citizens from " forcible draughts, conscriptions or impressments, not authorized by the Con- stitution of the United States, " and that an earnest appli- cation be made to the General Government, requesting its consent to some ari-angement whereby the States separate- ly, or in concert, might assume ujion themselves the de- fense of their territory against the enemy ; and that a reas- onable portion of tlie taxes collected within the State might be appropriated to that olyect.
