Why laugh at your folly---take all the offices and leave you to take care of yourselves.

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.

One part of this cost will be an increase of the violence of parties.

Another item in the expense of accomplishing these projects, is a corruption of morals.

To revolutionize Connecticut it will be necessary to circulate, without any intermission, many gross falsehoods respecting the men in power, the judges, legislators and magistrates, and the acts and proceedings of the General Assembly.

Another part of this expense will be the elevation of men to office who are unworthy of public confidence.

What can a nation or state expect from such men?

What could now be expected from these men but that they become immediately the creatures of a party--the tools of a faction?

Is it worthy of no consideration that judges who are to be the arbiters of controversies--who are to adjudicate on the lives of their fellow citizens, and to whom is committed the dearest and highest interests of society, should be men of…

Can a Court be a shield against the proud oppressor when a daring leader can crush them with his nod?

Be not deceived my fellow citizens--no nation hath yet made such an experiment without feeling its bitter and dreadful effects.

In the mean time all subordinate tribunals will partake of the same character.--Thus instead of a government of laws, there will be the tyranny of a desperate faction.--Let no one reply that there is no danger of such evils in Connecticut.

Another part of the cost of these projects, is the loss of all our institutions of religion.--It is not here intended that these institutions will be at once abolished--Such a measure would alarm some honest men of the party--a gradual but…

The constitution of the United States was first attacked by an unconstitutional repeal of a law, and now the independence of the Supreme Court is to be destroyed, by impeachments of the judges.

The principle openly advocated is that none shall be obliged to contribute for the support of religious institutions.

This once established destroys the vitals of the system, and the residue of its existence will be misery and wretchedness.

Shall a party avowing this sentiment and seeking by every artifice to give it effect, receive the support of a people who have derived such substantial benefits from these institutions?

Shall we look in vain thro' the ranks of that party for one to lift up his voice against this daring and dangerous innovation?

Let such view the conduct of similar parties--Let such not be deceived--This is indeed their object--They do not avow it to you, they know you would reject it, but they have made a vow that the influence of the Clergy shall be…

They seek their own good, and not the good of others, if inspiration is to be credited.

Will you hazard these evils without a fair and reasonable expectation of some solid benefits?

Shall they be heard and regarded when they demand of you to displace your faithful and approved rulers, and commit to them your all?

Shall the impudent, banish them from your affections and usurp their places in your hearts?

Let it again be asked what good will result to Connecticut by a new Constitution, by the prevalence of revolutionary principles?

At that time his language was, The Constitution of Connecticut is the best in the world--it has grown up with the people, and is fitted to their condition.--Now this consistent man who is endeavoring to gull the people that he may…
