Excerpt from Substitute Intended to Be Offered to the Next Meeting of the Citizens of Richmond, on the Subject of a Convention, in Lieu of the Report of the Committee
The maxims of political prudence deducible from all history, approved by the fathers of the republic, proclaimed by the Decla ration oj' Independence, inculcated by our own Bill of Rights; the uniform experience of half a century, testifying the capacity and fitness of the present form of government, in its practical Opera tion, to promote and secure the public, weal; the signal blessings, so long and yet enjoyed, of public peace, order, security, freedom of all that constitutes political happiness; a condition, which we have every reason to be content with; if we look at home, and proud of, if we look abroad these general considerations would alone suffice to determine and fix the resolution of this meeting; to uphold the existing constitution, and to deprecate the call of a convention for purposes of amendment or change, the extent, na ture and practical consequences of which, no man can define, no human wisdom foreknow.
