It (iu committed tb'paper by the (^cntteoi in to whom General it ? Metalled the facts, and we nowh^vevthe satisfsotion of laying it before iKir reader*.?-AS F. GatUr. I was (said General- ?? ~ ?' ?) a delegate from ? *? ? ' In the General C.oo vent ion which assembled at Philadelphia, for the nuiiKmc of digesting a constitution for the United State*,' Knu X believe I was the yoyngest member of that body. The great and good Washington was chosen our presi dent, aild Dr. FraaWttn* a'*?r>ns other great rtien, was a delegate trQ? Pennsylvania. * A disposition was soOn/<t$scft vwred in Home members to thMftfcUe*- in oratorical flonristuH?hut the goadlmw ynd discretion of Hie majority, pu* duwr nil -suoU attempt). We had co.i venedtoASRhemte Uport/fctnj, if possible, eflfoct U greet riatto.ial <V>jeet?to search v*r politlo^l wiMom and truth; those wo meant'to rtursu1: \vjth simplicity, and to avoid every tiling which would haves ten dency to divert our aU&Uon, or {icrplex cur scheme. f r A gre\t variety of uixJetls were proposed* alt republican in their general outlines, but diflTcrufg In thuir dviiiKT ft was, tfcehrt'occ, determined tha^^y^^^m^n^piinci. terwatdstlie douU* should he debated mtd filled up. k , ? . m' . ' There was little or nfl difficulty ii) deter mining upon the elentetifrry piinclplcs? Mich as* for instance,4bat the government should Ik? a republican represent*tiy>; >50 vcrnment; that It kV>uM be divided into three branches, i. c. trgUtatire, rjreeutive, and judicial, ft o. Hut, .when the orgnuixi tion of the respective branches of the legis lative came under consideration, it was easy to be perceived that the eastern ;nd the ftouthcvH states h.\?l distinct interests, which it was difficult to reconcile, and that the lar ger States were disposed to form. a constitu tion Ih which the smaller states would l>?. mere Appendages and sattcllltcs to the larg er ones* On the first of these subje rt?, much anifaated, and somewhat angry, de bate, Had taken place, when the ratio of representation, in the lower lioyse of .con gress, was before us?the southern states claiming for themselves the whole nuinbet of their black imputation, while the eastern states were for confiding the elective fran chise to freemen only, without respect to color. As the different parties adhered pertina ciously to their different positions, it was feared that this was an insurmountable ob stacle; but as Hie members were already gCnerUlly satisfied that no constitution could be formed which would meet the views and subserve the interests of each individual state. It was evident that h must be a mat ter of compromise and mutual concession.? Under these impressions, and with thcfc views, it was agreed, at length, that each state should be entitled to one delegate in the house of representatives tor every thirty thousand of its inhabitants, In which num ber should be included three-fifths uf- their slaves. " '. 1 . When the details of the house of repre sentatives were disposed of, a more difficult point presented itself, in the organisation of the senate. The larger statea .contended that the ssme ratio as to states should be common to both branches of the legislature ?or, in other word*, that each State should l>e entitled to a representation in the senate, whatever might Ik- the number fixed on, in proportion to its population, as In the house of representatives. The smaller States, on the nther hand, contended, that the house of representatives might be considered as the guardian of the liberties 0# the people, ami therefore ought to Inrar a just proportion to their number*; but that tllfb senate repre sented the sovereignty of the Hates, and that, as each state, whether great or small, was equally an independent and sovereign state, it ought, in this blanch of the legis lature, to have equal weight and authority. Withpnt this, they said, there could be no security for their equal rights, and they would, by such distribution of power, b? merged and lost in the larger states. ThiwtiMoning. however plain and pow erful, iflFhtii little influence an the minds of dctf?iites from tho larger States, and, as they formed a large majority of the conven tion, the question, after passing through the form* of debate, wu decklcd that each state should be represented in the mm!. In proportion to ita population ,, Whenthe convention had adjourned over to the next day* the delegates of the four smallest stales ? that is, Rhode Island, Con necticut, New Jersey# and Delaware* convened to consult what course was to be Krsued fat the Important crisis at which we d arrived. After serious investigation it was sotAttaly determined to ask for a re cvti tide ration the n?*t morning, and it it ww not granted, or & when grAnted, that eflfcnalve feature of the constitution could not be* expunged, and the smaller states pub a poo anvfita/ /ooz/ny with the largest,, wc woold secede from the convention, vui re turning to our constituents, inform them that no compsct could be formed with the large states, but one Which would (ncriflc* our sovereignty apd independence I I was deputed (said General ?? ? ??) to be the organ through which this communi cation should be made; 1 know not why; unless K be that young men ai^ generally chosen to perform rath actions. According' ly, when the convention had assembled, and as soon as the n>i notes of the last sittings were read, I rose, and stated the view we hid wtken of the organisation of the senate, our desire to obtain a, reconsideration uuil suitable modification of that article, nad, in failure thereof, our detenu mation to sc -cedefrom the convention, and return to our constituents. This disclosure, it may readily be sup posed, produced an immediate and great ex citement la every piurt of thu house. Sev eral m?* in tiers were immediately on<he floor to express their surprise oj i ml ignition! They rqireseuted that the question had re ceived s. lull and fair investigation, and.had been definitively settled by a very lapfc ?na )orlTy?that it was altogether unparliament ary and unreasonable, for pne of the minori ty to propose a re-consideration, at the mo menf their uct hid become a matter' of re* corfl, aikl without pretending X^sut any new light could lie thrown ?m Of sublet t{ tli.-t, If such precedent should be cstaoiMn d, it wouid in fhture be Impossible *.o v.iy w??en any one (mint was definitively :il, a ahull-minority might, at any moment, n<,.*in ah 1 again, move aiid obtain a il-cousah m tiou?they therefore hnptd the convention would express us decided ?iisspprobatioii, by passing sflendv to ;ht baulnewj before tflt'iH. ^T.'iere wr.? mnvh warm, and som.* acri monious feel Dig exhibited by a number of the speeches?? rufiturr appeared aUm.'.t ,inevi>,?hle, :mkI i'ie bosom m Washington seenud to hihor with the most anxiuurs.ill citudefor its issue.'

Among thiKC pyrturlagcs, the mint prom neat was l>r. Franklin. He w^s cste?u?t.l the Mentor oT our bf.dy. I'o a piiiidh-itur ally strong and capocicms, enriched b; tun. h reading, and the experience of m.ur, years, he added a manner ut communicating hi* thoughts, peculiarly his own, hi which sim pliccy, beauty, and strength, were. equally j conspicuous. As s<s>n as thr angry orators I who lreceded h'mi had left him an opening, the lliator rose, evidently impressed with the weight of the subject before them, and the difficulty of managing it succcssfollv. 'Wc have arrived, Mr. President,' sa'kI he, " mt a Very momentous and interesting crisis in our deliberation*. Hitherto, our views have been as h trmonlous and our pro gress as great, as could rcas>n:i lv be ex pecten. nut now an unlookcd for and for midable obftUcle is thrown in our w.tv, which threaten? to urrett our course, and, if not skillfully removed, to render all our fund h >pesof.?coiistitnt.ouabortive. TKbgrouud which was t iken by ihe delegates of the four smallest Sutcs. was un<*xppcted by me, and a* repugnant to my feelings us it can tir to oiiy other member of thin convention. After \Vhat 1 thought 4 full and m partial investi gation on the *ubject, I recorded iny vote in the .Wtiinativc side of the question, and I have not vet heard any thin* which induces me tochange my opinion, out I will not, there fore, conclude it i* impossible for me to i?e wrong! 1 will not My that those gentlemen who differ from me are under a delusion! much lea* will I charge them with an inten of needlessly embarrassing our deliberations. It is possible some change In our late pro ceeding* ought to take place upon principles of mutual justice; or that, idl things consid ered^ the majority any see cause to recede from some of. their just pretensions, as a mat ter of expediency. For my own part there is nothing I so much dread an a. failure to derive ind establish some equal and efficient form of government for our infant Heinihlic. The present effort has l?e*n made under tlie happiest auspices, anil has promised the most favorable result*-?but, should this effort prove vain, it will be long ere another can be m-ule with any prospect of succt^s. Our strenvfth And our prosperity will depend on our unity; ami the seccession of even four of the smallest States, Interspersed an they arc, would,' in my mind, paralyse ami render use less any plan which the majority could de vise. I sh*iuld therefore, Ins grieved, Mr. President, to see matters brought to the test, which have been, perhaps to rashly, threat ened on the one band, and which some of my honored colleague* have treated too lightly on the other. I am convinved that it in a subject which should be approached <vlth caution, treated with tenderness, and deci ded on with candor and liberality. It is, however, to he feared, that the member* of thb convention iro not in s? temper at this :?'.if moment to approach the subject on which, wo differ In tljs aui&. I would <hiitfS> propone Mr. President, that without proceed* tog farther la thU baatnesa at this time,' the convention should adjourn for throe day* In order to let the present ferment pau off, and to afford time tor a mare foil, free, ahd dW paMkmate investigation of the autyart.* Aat J would earnestly recommend to tho mem T>des of this convention that they time of this recess, af*fo assocli their titii party, and dey islng ncw.i to. fortify thcmselvo* la- their eld but that they mix with members of oppoifce sentiments, lend a put lent- ear to their tea ?ontogs, and find felly allow them all th4 weight to which they .may be entitled; and when wo assemble again. I hope4t will b? with a determination to form a Constitution obtained." [Htrc the couatenunccT'-qf Washington heightened, and a thearthg rajr seemed to break in upon the gloom wnicU h*d recently covercd our jxtlUiual hon?% j The Doctor continued. " Ucforc lw dow% Mr. President, 1 will s iggest another matter, and 1 am really Mirprtaedthat it has'ttetbeeft* proposed by some other member at an ear% er period Of our deliberations. 1 wilt su? gest, Mr. President, the propriety of nomi nating and appointing, before wc seperatr, a Chaplain to this convention, whose doty It shall be uniformly to assemble with us, nnA iutrot\u.ce the busmess of each day by nn-ad* dress to tltr Creator of the -Universe and the ?

As toon as the Chnjdam had < uded-hb prayer, and the minute* of tlie last m(HK, were read, all eyes were turned to the Dae tor. Me rose, and in a few words, stated th.it during the recess, he h?d listened at tentively to all the arguments pro and coo, which had been nr*M by birth Hides of the House; thai he had himself .said much, and thought more on the subject?-he saw difficul ties and abjections which might .>e urged by Individual States against every scheme which had been proposed, and he thought mow, more than ever, that the constitution which thev were about to form, m order to be just and equal must be formed on the basis ot compromise and mutual concession. Wiw? <. such views and feelings, he would now move, a rc-consideration of the vote last taken on the organisation of the Senate. The motion whh seconded, the vote carried, the former votftmcimlcj, and, by a successive motion and resolution, the Senate was organised en the present plan. * * * r An obituary notice in a Washington paper begins thus: ??
