There was no political Jupiter, out of whose brain this Minerva sprang, full grown. Read the history of it and you will see how unconsiously, beyond their own purposes or expectations, were men led on to its adoption. First, a few men from different States met to talk of trade, and separated with the idea of a united na- tionality. And when the Convention was formed, how singularly did obstacles to union, seemingly the most in- superable, give way! How did God smooth the way for the adoption of... article after article, of that grand charter of our national liberty and law ! And what is most re- markable and instructive to observe is, that great as were the wisdom, sagacity, and foresight of the framers of that immortal instrument, they were not possessed of it all when they began their discussion, but they were taught much of it, day by day, and lesson by lesson, here a little and there a lit- tle, as the debates progressed. They were forced into many of their measures which have proved the wisest, by the stress of the providential circumstances in which they were placed* They did not at once adopt them, because they saw the wisdom of them; but they saw the wisdom of them after they were forced to adopt them.
