More from David Daggett
It is a fact as well authenticated as the settlement of the state, that a Constitution was formed by the people of the then colony of Connecticut, before the Charter of King Charles.
What can a nation or state expect from such men?
It is to be recollected that the proposition is to change the vital principles of our government--to displace our present rulers and to fill their places with men who never enjoyed the public confidence.
What could now be expected from these men but that they become immediately the creatures of a party--the tools of a faction?
