Washington calmed them. Their duty was plain, he thought. And he spoke these words that are now famous, as the ideal of the fathers of the Republic: "Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God. " Four months later, on the 17th of September, and in no small part due to Washington's faithful and able work, the Constitution was drawn up and signed by the delegates. The story is told that as Washington took the pen to write the first signature, ...he said: "Should the states reject this ex- cellent Constitution, the probability is that an oppor- tunity will never again be offered to cancel another in peace ; the next will be drawn in blood. " Ten months of discussion throughout the country followed before the Constitution was adopted by the states. Then the nation received the government, strong and wise, that it has kept unchanged all these many years. THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES At once the whole country with one voice called for Washington as the first president of the United States.
