222d. (Adams Papers)
I attended to hear the debates in convention again, this forenoon. Mr. Langdon began by making a motion that the Convention should adjourn to some future day: But said he would waive his motion if any gentleman had further observations to make upon the System. Mr. Atherton, the leader of the opposition rose, and in a speech of more than an hour recapitulated every objection that he could...
To the People of the State of New-York. THE natural order of the subject leads us to consider in this place, that provision of the Constitution which authorises the national Legislature to regulate in the last resort the election of its own members.

He had not then received the wine or any notification of it; but, I doubt not, it is on it’s way. Your draught for the amount has not yet been presented, but shall be honoured whenever it is.
