Yes, your wou'd-be Constitution, has indeed done a deal of mischief. (LOVEYET: I deny it;--it is perfectly inoffensive and mild.) Mild, indeed:--happy would it be for America, if her government was more coercive and energetic!--I suppose you have heard that Massachusetts has ratified this upstart Constitution;--this is the sixth grand column in the federal edifice; we only want three more to make up the lucky nine; and then the nine Muses will make our western world their permanent abode; and he who is at once their Favourite and Patron, will preside over the whole: then we shall see another Golden Age; arts will then flourish, and literature be properly encouraged. That's the grand desideratum of my wishes.
