As the plan now offered comes something near
their wishes, and is the most consonant to their views of any they can hope for, they come boldly
forward and DEMAND its adoption. They brand with infamy every man who is not as
determined and zealous in its favor as themselves. They cry aloud the whole must be swallowed
or none at all, thinking thereby to preclude any amendment; they are afraid of having it abated of
its present RIGID aspect. They have strived to overawe or seduce printers to stifle and obstruct a
free discussion, and have endeavored to hasten it to a decision before the people can duty reflect
upon its properties. In order to deceive them, they incessantly declare that none can discover any
defect in the system but bankrupts who wish no government, and officers of the present
government who fear to lose a part of their power.
